Strange, no one on CNP or any ROM has reported that before. Could you grab dmesg and a logcat please? Use syslog app soon after you boot to zip it and upload it, thanks!After every reboot the phone high brightness mode is enabled automatically have to disable it manually everytime on codename phoenix.
Before you do that though, does the ROM have an option for HBM in userspace? Are you using any kernel managers and setting it to enable on boot by mistake?
