[APP] LevelSight 1.1.0.2 2009.09.16 - backlight enhancement for Acer 900s and HTC

[NuShrike]

After a long real-world use-beta, and before it gets more buried by other projects, I figured it's time to publish this baby before it lags behind the competition more.

tried on 6.5, it doesn't seem to work. Loads fine and svc is running, but it doesnt seem to work? Any ideas. I miss this from 6.1..

I'll have to load a 6.5 rom sometime. Have an recommendation that's stable to run?

Da_G's latest kitchen works great. I cooked it for the fuze and added all the tf3d and htc stuff. Flashed the rom and it worked great. I've also added all the rhodium stuff and after a few fixes it works also. Now I have to decide between titanium or tf3d. If feels very stable now for 2 days and I'm pretty happy. The only program I can't get to work is ViiGo my news reader. I will keep trying.

Thanks for your work on Levelsight. Its the best backlight control i've found. It's such a tiny program and no overhead. I'm dreading trying lumeos, but someone says it works w/6.5. I think I'm gonna wait for yours. If you need any help with 6.5 and the likes just PM me...

Ya, I performed magic! Thanks for the compliments on LevelSight.

I'm glad it's working out then... Otherwise, I read Lumos has better GUI controls right now ...

I'm still rocking 1.0.2.1 on 6.5, and I couldn't be happier with it. Thanks again for this app!

Since this device has only 3 auto-brightness settings, a full sensor-to-backlight curve is used -- configurable in HKCU/SOFTWARE/Creative 'Ware/LevelSight/0-a -- to map the 11 brightness settings actually available.

Brightness levels to about 4 have been hand-tuned and then it's a linear scale to max brightness.

Currently, the settings are loaded only on service startup, restart the service if you want it to reload the registry settings.

Silly level 5 max brightness limiter removed in Acer m900 version.

Level 0 brightness removed because generally not useful.

I'm trying this on one of the newer 6.5 ROMs and the CAB is saying "installation unsuccessful" -- any ideas? I know it's probably 6.5 and I shouldn't bother you but just wanted to see.

TIA!
