Tytn and maximum lcd backlight

[naciniak]

Hi, did anyone noticed that maximum Tytn's backlight is much dimmer than Wizard's? But it seems that it is only a software block because when you start Camera application, brightness goes much higher.. It's not matter of life and death, but it quite annoys me.

So.. Do anyone know if there is some way how to enable higher values? Probably some registry fix or something like that...

I have to say, I hate using my Hermes without VJLumos. The normal max brightness is horrible, washed out and weak...

i remapped the record button for youre great app works well;)

Yeah.. nice program.. but unfortunately it is still just trying to bypass the problem by using the camera application. So when Vjlumos is running you are unable to use the camera.. There must by some other way. I hope somebody will find it..

But still.. It is a great program :)

There is another way, but remember that the extra brightness is tied to the camera functions.... I've been thinking about rewriting this app to turn it into a service so it takes less resources.

If and when, I'll try to make it camera independant. But the problem with that is that it will be device specific ie Hermes.

But then I thought, meh? Whatever, it'll still be better!

This is a great app. However for me, I'm able to use the camera without having to disable the app. I just hit the camera button to access the camera function, then hit the camera button again and was able to take a picture. With that being said, once I exited the camera function, the screen was dim again and I had to hit my VJLumos icon twice (once to disable, once again to enable) to get the screen back to its brightness. Currently a small price to pay.

Vijay, nice apps. Even if you make this app specific to Hermes, I think you'll have a lot of satisfied people. Thanks for great apps!
