Greetings :)

I want to save some energy on my Vox, and I'm wondering, is it possible to change (reduce) brightness of backlight on Vox, by using specific program or other trick? Original backlight is really too strong for me!
I've searched for information about it, but I've found nothing...

And if that is not possible, I want to totally turn off backlight. Without it screen is bright enought, I can clearly see everyting on it. Only in good sunny weather could be some problems with it, but I can always turn it on again. So is there any program or other trick to disable backlight?
I founded program called OldSap's OS Power, which should do this. But download page is offline! So maybe someone has got that program and want to share it? :)

Any solution?

Thanks to all ;)

To decrease brightness you can use Light Toogle from this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374893) topic. It works fine with my C600 and should with Vox.
For enegry saving you can also reduce CPU clock (manual with OmapClock or automatically with Tornado PowerControl).

Unfortunately this program doesn't work on my device (it shows only white screen with some chinese "软件大" and do nothing...). Backlight works normal with this program background running...

Other solutions? Maybe this OldSap's OS Power?

It's seems to be easy thing to shut down the backlight, isn't it?

Vox has only two backlight states (excluding no backlight) - full and dimmed. You can use Tornado LowLight or Tornado Power Control to switch between dimmed and full backlight.
