Version 1.0.8-Beta1 APK is attached. If no serious issues arise with this beta then it will become the official v1.0.8 release.
Changes in v1.0.8-Beta1 (since v1.0.7)
- "dim" support added for the International (quad-core) HTC One X and HTC One X+ (note: does not work on all ROMs/kernels/hboots)
- "Debug Information" screen added, from the "Settings" screen
- New application icon (thanks to XDA user lesscro)
- "Credits" screen added, accessible from "About" screen
- Complete re-write of code that sets capacitive buttons brightness, to allow it to support multiple devices
- Fixed scrolling in "About" screen
- Fixed crash when device is rotated in the "Settings" screen
Note that the newly-added "dim" support for the quad-core Tegra3 devices has been reported to work by some users and others have reported no difference between "dim" and "bright". Unfortunately, the root cause of the issue is unknown but I still plan to release this in v1.0.8 since some users report success. "Dim" fully works for the dual-core S4 North American HTC One X (a.k.a. "XL").
Please reply to this post with your feedback. If reporting issues, please go to the new "Debug Information" screen, press the "copy" button, and paste its contents. This will immensely help me investigate issues. You can also attach a screenshot of this screen if that is easier.
If anyone is willing, I've created a set of "regression tests" that can be executed manually in about 20 minutes to ensure that the entire application works correctly. Any of these test case failures is a legitimate issue. If you would like to run these tests, please see them at

Reminder: This "beta version" of the app is signed with a developer key so it will fail to install if you have an official version of the app installed. So you must first uninstall any official versions of the app before installing this test version.
Finally, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
