The screen filter allows you to lower the brightness beyond the standard in settings, but if im laying in bed reading its annoying that the keys light up evertime I touch the screen. Thats why, I thought there was some mod we could do, plus the filter has an option to turn backlight off but nothing happens

When my eyes are used to reading on the nice low brightness these 4 keys light up the whole room! I think it has to do with the Vibrant's kernel.
I had the exact same problem but found a simple solution
just get a small but thick rubberbands...like the ones found ariund celery....and wrap it around the bottom of your phone....enough light seeps through that you can still see the buttons and they still work perfectly

If the kernel you use supports voodoo color does it work automatically? Or do you need support apps like for BLN or voodoo sound?
Voodoo color works at 100% brightness only
Do I just blast the brightness and it works?

Do people know pressing the notification bar sets the brightness?
Left is lowest middle is middle and right is highest, so when I don't use it,
I put it in lowest and when I do, I put it highest for better quality.

That is such an awesome feature! Just slide your finger across the status bar left or right and voila!
Rock on!

That is pretty cool, they also make widgets that you can quickly control your brightness. The one I use is made by curvefish.
The above works as long as you have auto-adjust brightness turned off.
Just wanted to save a few it doesn't work on my phone posts.

Was browsing the SGSII forums and found this:
ryude said:
I don't know if they left this feature in, but in the original SGS if you hold your finger down on the notification bar after a few seconds it becomes a brightness scroll. You just move your finger left/right on the notification bar to decrease/increase the brightness. I think it only works if you enable/disable auto-brightness. Someone will have to verify of course

LOL coolness! No i had no idea that feature was there. Thx for the post!
I myself have considered this an annoyance since the first froyo leaks. If you are not careful when answering a call and press against ear before screen timeout, it will adjust brightness. On a side note the task brightness only works when auto brightness is disabled. But auto sucks too.
good day.
Yeah not sure that came with froyo or not but its ben known for months

This is just sorta a little tip that i found...its not completely black...but close to it
1. Go into settings, and display
2. Make sure the display mode is set to standard
3. Uncheck the box that says analyze LCD brightness.
Thats it...colors should be more dark now and the status bar is not that annoying gray!!!
Aaarrgghhh my eyes!
The grey background of the settings window got so bright when I unchecked the box, it actually hurt my eyes.
I had a tf101 before the tab and I actually prefer the look of the touchwiz stuff to stock HC, but I might just be weird...

How do you install and use this theme? I installed it, but it does not show in my app drawer. What am I doing wrong?
Look in your app drawer..Then look for Theme Chooser and select. That should do it for you.
You can find it in Theme choser. It's greyed out. It will say its the wrong size, do it anyways.

I did, and it worked, but I still have the "bar" at the bottom of my screen. How can I get rid of that bar so that it really looks like ICS?

That's an issue that goes above themeing. If anyone knows different let me know but as far as I've read this is about as close as you can get.

By "bar", I mean the bar that's in portrait mode. The one you have in phones and not tablets. The bar that has the phone icon on it.

Ate you talking about the dock? I don't know if you can turn that off in ADW, but I use ADW EX and you can turn it off with that. Other launchers may allow turning it off as well, but I can't name any.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
I think he's talking about the bar that the buttons themselves are in. That you're stuck with as far as I know. We can get our tablets close to looking like CM9, but CM7 still has limits.
But some more fun things...
I'm using SPB shell 3d with a live wallpaper and I'm still getting good use out of the battery.
Normally SPB as cool as it looks is a resource hog, but I still have lots of free ram with the tablet.
I am including a screenshot showing what I am talking about.
It is the bar that has the app drawer and the phone icon

Look for an option in your launcher settings to hide the dock. I know ADW EX has that option. Not sure what you're using there.

In adw XL go to settings then themes and select no theme for dock bar.
To change the apps in the bar hold down on them, drag them out and add what you want.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
For the dock bar go to Settings -> Adw launcher -> UI settings -> main dock style. Just select "none"
Yeah, that dock is kinda out of place on a tablet. Just so you can still access your app drawer, just long click on the screen, select launcher action, and pick open/close app drawer. I put one on every screen so that the app drawer is always accessible.
thx,ICS theme is pretty cooooolllllllll
I had to switch back to ADW, and now I got rid of the dock completely.
I have a couple of requests still: How do I add the apps drawer as the guy had on the top right of his NT?
Another thing I would love to do: make the soft home button actually display the apps, as of now, it only pulls the home screen.

Long press on the home screen and select launcher actions. You can control what the home button does though ADW settings.

So is there a way to disable the dropdown notification when phone is in the lock screen. Settings, Mod? I know if I set up a screen lock I'll achieve what I want but I don't want that.

When in my pocket.
Picture this, I listen to music all day receive a lot of text and emails. The notification bar sometimes slides down and starts either calling or getting into menus, recent apps, etc.. This happens whenever the phone is woken up in my pocket only Sometimes im doing some carrying and or weird body positiones and the phones power button will get pushed waking the phone and down goes the notification bar.
Makes sense? I'm sure I'm not the only one. Besides what's the point of it being a "lock screen" if it doesn't lock??

The screen is capacitive. That means it should not react to your pocket, if I understand capacitive correctly. It's not like a touch sensitive device. It needs an electric charge to activate the touch screen (the charge from your fingers). I've not had mine react in my pocket.

Correct! But Depends which way It's facing in my pocket. If its facing out wards then no problem but if it's facing in towards my legs then problem which is usually the way I like to put my phone away feels safer
