Hello,

you can disable the auto brightness only by disabling the controller interface of the sensor!

You can do this by editing the hw_config.sh file stored in /etc with root explorer

1. change the line: i2c_pwn_als with i2c_pwn
2. set permissions to rwxr--r-- (744) if they are changed! VERY IMPORTANT!
3. reboot and njoy the missing sensor ;)

Bye Bye

Hello,

the i2c_pwn_als is a line in the hw_config.sh file stored on /etc

use root explorer to open end edit the file
