Is there a brave soul out there who could develope an app that makes the back light fade in when the screen turns on, instead of just switching on, and make it fade out, first to the dim level, then off? It would be pretty neat, if there was an app like that.

It works like that automatically on the newer devices(TP, Diamond, HD)

I Don't know how HTC implemented it but it sounds possible on older devices.

Oooh. It would be awesome if this was possible on older devices, like the HTC Vogue. I hope some dev makes this.

There was a thread just like this that I started, and also one that I posted in, basically it is possible through software as when i use android on my Tilt, the backlight fades like you are saying. But not in windows mobile.
Though I dont know much about it I believe the newer devices do this on a hardware side of things. But in our case it should be very well possible.

Yeah, I got the idea from Android as well. I thought it was impossible due to hardware limitations, but when it worked on Android, I have gotten very hopeful.

Someone got it working on a certain processor, with the MotoQ smartphones.

Someone tried making an app like that for our phones(Vogue, Kaiser, etc.), but it was too glitchy and incomplete.
