13 Dec r4: Auto backlight levels patch (2 step)


Guest PaulOBrien

Recommended Posts

This is now included in my MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Galaxy Nexus - details.

Here's something i'm testing on my GN that I thought i'd share. I personally find the auto backlight levels a bit low, so i've tweaked them a bit. This is very much in TEST phase, let me know how you find it and if it improves things for you. This is for expert users only at this stage, install via ClockworkMod recovery.

This is tested on devices running the ITL41D / ITL41F ROMs.

Update: There is now 2 different files with 2 steps of brightness increase!

  • r4 step 1 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: c1cb4ffd4d4fe17a17d48483e5dbfb4d
  • r4 step 2 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: 7ba5a060ffb0aab74620533fd5708cfd

I think there might be something wrong with the filesonic link. Tried it several times now and after waiting to start the download, it just says "file not found".

Other filesonic downloads have worked great so far!

Thanks for the great work! :)

Paul, could you write a little tutorial how to tweak this at home? Your alterations are an improvement, but I personally would lighten up the values a lot more, but don't want to switch off auto-brightness. So I'd like to play around with the values myself, just need to know how.

TIA!

edit: As already said in the MCR thread, the fix seems to be missing from MCR r4.

I get an installation aborted for this:

-- installing: /sdcard/dropbox/Public/r4-galaxynexus-autobacklightpatch-step1.zip

Finding update package...

I:Update location: /sdcard/dropbox/Public/r4-galaxynexus-autobacklightpatch-step1.zip

I: using /data/media, no /sdcard found.

Opening update package....

Installling update....

Installation aborted.

md5 sum is correct and matches that given above- is this an update zip error or a CWM error?

thanks

Getting the same.

apparently its just too many folders inside- someone on xda figured it out... check there for what they did if you cant wait for Paul to fix it (I just flashed a clean kitchen build with this in it)
