[Q] is it possible to increase LCD brightness on Froyo ?

[a4e5h]

hello,

since the leaked Froyo Updates the screen is a little bit darker then before. Is it possbile to increase the screen brightness on froyo roms ?

Maybe this seems to be the reason Froyo saves more power then Eclair.

any ideas ?

thanks

Just go to settings/display/uncheck auto brightness and move the slider to your liking.

i have already moved the slider to maximum brightesns - but it not as bright as before with Eclair.

yeah. i have noticed this one too. have compared several times the brightness of the eclair to froyo and there is a great difference comparing the 100% brightness

Hmm, strange. I know by default the Froyo version has night mode on by default. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

Try to use this app;ledefy

Is there someone who has already found a real solution? The thing with the brightness is very, very bad.
The screen goes dark after the vibration on boot progress. The kernel is load before, isn't it? Then normally this should be no problem to increase the screen brightness for the devs?

In hope, greetz from Germany!

echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/als

or use ledefy

echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/als

How you can set this value after boot? Is there any init folder from where you could run a script?

download terminal emulator and run this command, this should fix the brightness (it did it for me) providing that your phone is rooted!

Right, but I won't do that each time after I rebooted my phone.

Great! Works fine....there's a way to auto execute this command on startup?

 

[zwozuzwei]

I don't know how to execute this command on startup but i'm using the ledefy app (ledefy.com). There you can set the increase brigthness fix and autostart on startup.
Furthermore it will give you a nice battery icon in the status bar with 1% steps and various other fixes...

ledefy does not work on CM7

becaus every time i switch of my screen, the brightness will be decreased to the CM7 default brightness. If i switch on my screen i can increas brightness again with ledefy.

What exactly does this line?
"echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/als"

Is it setting backlight fix to a MAX or is it increasing the range of control?
If it is increasing the range - is it works for automatic or manuel or both?

What is the default value to go back?
