Fixed Backlight !! atleast partially
So i flashed A8 yesterday just to give it a try and see whether the backlight issue was fixed.......i flashed A8 over cm10 qwerty...the backlight issue was continuous as before...so i tried some tweaking around....i did a couple of google searches too and i think i read this (below) somewhere..it solved the issue for me (temporary fix)
after this, the backlight didnt turn on for me, even on manually unlocking and locking it.......
so why is the fix temporary ?
* its because the issue comes back if say i start apollo and connect my headphones and then lock it....or sometimes randomly after locking the screen ( though since thats once in a few hours, i just use step (3) to turn the backlight off again
* the issue also reappers on every restart (do the 3 steps again)
* sometimes even after following the 3 steps, the backlight may still turn on and remain on for say 30 seconds before it turns off
A8 is pretty good otherwise....the smoothness even without any mods is really unbelievable...i needed direct inject mod on qwerty to make the rom this fast ( im gonna try it on this too soon)....
the other issues (minor) i faced :
* bluetooth connections took a couple of attempts to connect...it took 3 attempts from my bro to send me a song (it shows connection failed)
* the screen doesnt lock directly....it kind of blinks each time i lock the screen
* freezing or uninstalling few of the useless system apps (mail, movie studio, bubble, black hole,etc) caused bootloops (after the cyanogemod loading sign, it kept rebooting)
* from first impressions, the battery drain when in use is considerable...though i will give it couple of battery cycles before calling it a done deal (Screen, Android OS, Android System are the top 3 battery drainers)
i attached screen shots which show the battery drain over the night (2%) along with cpu state...pretty good :laugh:
and another showing the drain when in use....
great job dhiru bhai

1) go to display settings
2) change the screen timout to some other value
3) leave the phone till the screen times out itself and locks
