Question: Remember CM7 RenderFX? I want to generate an intent to turn it on.

My goal:
RenderFX is a CM7 settings feature that puts a color mask of your choosing over the screen. I believe it is generated by an app called CMParts.apk. I am running on the Neutrino 3.0.2 ROM for the Atrix 4g. I love this ROM paired with this phone. It's very minimalist, but does everything I could possibly want.

There is a widget built into CM7 that generates the intent that I want, but it's hideous and inconvenient (I have a picture of it attached to this post). I'd like to be able to trigger it maybe from a soft key long press or through an invisible widget in which I can touch the home screen to activate it. I have the means to create the soft key and/or invisible widget. All I need to do is figure out how to find the intent and write it in such a way that one of my apps (Macrodroid and/or DesktopVisualizeR) can use it as a trigger to turn on RenderFX.

My questions:
Would anyone here know of an app or file in the android system that shows the intents being generated? From here, I would be able to get clues as to what app the RenderFX runs through and the language that calls up the service.

Also, what is the proper format to request a specific intent from an app on android 2.3.6 (CM7)? I have no idea how to do this.

Maybe, someone can shed some light on this.

Thank you so much.
