[denversc]

A new version of this app is available: v1.0.11. This version addresses some long-standing issues with UI hangs and superuser permissions usage. It also adds an animation to the home screen widget. This version has been published to the Google Play Store in the "Pro" version; the free version will be updated to v1.0.11 on Nov 13, 2013. Note that the $0.99 USD sale on the Pro version expired on Sept 22, 2013 and the price is, at the time of writing, $2.00 USD.

Changes in v1.0.11 (since v1.0.10)

• Animation added to home screen widget
• Improved superuser permissions usage
• Fix lags and hangs of the UI when changing brightness levels
• Fix occasional issue turning buttons backlight back on with screen on HTC One XL (evita)
• HTC One S officially supported
• Logcat log messages cleaned up

Pro Version in Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.sleepydragon.capbutnbrightness.pro

Reminder: This "release version" of the app is signed with the official key so it will fail to install if you have a beta version of the app installed. You must first uninstall any beta versions of the app before installing this release version from the Play Store.

Update: I have created a DevDB thread for this app:

Please use the DevDB thread instead of this one going forward. Thanks!

FYI, a new beta version of the app is available for testing: v1.0.13-Beta1.
The APK is available from the DevDB thread, where feedback should be reported.

A new version of this app is available: v1.0.13. This version fixes issues with the buttons backlight turning off, avoids cycling through "dim" in the widget if not supported, and adds HTC Sensation support. This version has been published to the Google Play Store in the "Pro" version; the free version will be updated to v1.0.13 on Dec 04, 2013.

The free version has also been updated to v1.0.12, and is available in the Play store and the APK is also available for download.

Please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47453810#post47453810 for details and a link to the APK of the updated free version.

Changes in v1.0.13 (Since v1.0.12)

• fix issue where buttons backlight sometimes turns off after a few seconds instead of staying on
• avoid cycling through the "dim" setting in the widget if dim is not even supported
• HTC Sensation support added
• fix issue where "dim not supported" is erroneously reported on when selecting "off" brightness when dim is not supported (HTC One X international quad-core variant only)
• correct spelling error in a dialog: brigtness -> brightness

NOTE: If you have a beta or test version of this app installed, you must first uninstall it before installing one of these two official versions. The reason is that having two versions of the app installed will interfere with each other. Also, the official APKs are signed with the "official" key, whereas the beta/test versions are signed with the developer key, and if keys don't match then the app will fail to install.

FYI, the "free" version of this application has been updated to v1.0.13, to match the current Pro version.

The update will be available in the Google Play Store in the next few hours: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.sleepydragon.capbutnbrightness

Alternately, the APK is available for download from: http://dl.bintray.com/sleepydragon/CapacitiveButtons/CapButnBrightness-1.0.13.apk

THis app is just great! I have it on my HTC One and One X. I love the cleaner look it gives the phone when the lights are off, specially in the dark. Thank you very much for this!

Additionally, the left button is quite a bit dimmer than the others. It would be nice to have the same level of lighting for all buttons. Not sure if that's fixable (it may be one lighting element).
Any fix here?
