[Module] AX8NoALS v002 | Disabling light sensor

---

Tired of the lack of possibility to turn off 'automatic light sensor', I have modified the original driver. The only difference is - I removed code that enables ALS.

Issues:
- sometimes screen wake ups with maximum backlight value and fades to desired value in seconds.

Manual installation:
- push ax8noals.ko to /system/lib/modules
- run the following command

insmod /system/lib/modules/ax8noals.ko

- set desired brightness.

Until you're sure that it works with your hardware, don't install it to hw_config.sh.

Make sure that module is inserted before lm3530 LMU configuration settings.

#insert new noALS module
insmod /system/lib/modules/ax8noals.ko
sleep 2

# lm3530 LMU configuration
dev=/sys/devices/platform/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0036
echo als_off > $dev/mode # add this line if system overrides your mode

Release history
v002:

- restored how original modes works:

- i2c, pwm, i2c_pwm: modes without als,
- als, pwm_als, i2c_pwm_als, i2_als: modes with als

- added two new modes:
- als_off - disables als in ALS enabled modes,
- auto - enables als in ALS enabled modes.

v001: just recompiled original driver with ALS disabled


Note:
It uses code to remove original driver from doixanh X8Gesture module.

I guess this is not even possible with the current kernel cause Dx would have done that long ago!

No one has managed to overvolt MSM7227 yet, I've googled about that already. So I doubt it's the kernel problem.
