backlight off , not dim

[freeflyer]

surely there has to be a way.. there has to be.. i'm not talking about pocket plus or anything, just something which lowers the backlight dim to 0 instead of 3, or whatever it is.

Heh, I'm searching myself for those dim settings for quite some time already (although it's actually the opposite that I want)... Saying there must be a way... Although noone seems to find it.

I have a TyTN (Hermes 200) and a TyTN II (Kaiser) and tested about everything I could with both devices. Whatever I do, the Hermes doesn't dim, and the Kaiser always dims.
Switched files, settings, whole registry dumps, and nothing.
Tried multiple ROMs of all available OS, still no go.

Last thing I can think of is that there's some inaccessible part of screen driver that's device dependant, and either supports it or not. Maybe some of the chefs can tell something about this...?

You need a registry editor for this. Search for "suspend" and when you see a string that says "batterysuspendontimeout" or whatever similar to that, change the value to the amount you want in seconds. That way, if your phone is inactive for, say 10sec, the backlight will turn off rather than dim.

I guess I could have been more clear. It's not that we can't turn off the screen completely (that's what suspend does). It's the backlight off function we're talking about. You can still read your screen.
On some devices this setting turns off backlight completely, on some devices it dims it to a certain percentage. It's the % of this dim that we're looking for to change.
But this is not in these Power registry settings, there's been many discussions about this before and I compared all these settings on my Hermes (backlight fully off) with my Kaiser (backlight dim) and they're all the same.

Try Lumos. It might be what you are looking for.
