AOKP screen mode - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I have messed up the settings on my AOKP 4.0.4 Rom..
Under Settings > Device Settings. Screen modes and senarios.
Can someone tell me the default settings so i can have normal screen color like in stock? thanks

Also my Light sensor is not working, any idea?

Default settings are Scenario/UI
Mode/standart
Mine are camera/dynamique for best colors
My sensor works fine.Have you tick auto brightness in screen settings ?

Yep its on, still not working, dunno whats up. xD and thx for mode settings

Ask in your rom thread.
I dont use this one.
Works fine in Hydrog3nIcs

[Q]Working Light Sensor

why every build claims to have light sensor works while it doesn't. I tried every build that says light sensor works. Well, that works only If I open an app call "Android Sensor Data", then I can see the light lux changes as well as the screen brightness, once close the app, the system just wont update the light sensor......
can anyone confirmed that it's actually working? like put the phone under a lamp and the screen will have full brightness?
No, it doesn't work properly... WiFi, data, G-sensor, battery, camera aren't good also. Bad luck...

why every chef says it's working then? Really confused, I tried at least 4 builds tonight, frustrating.....
it does work, but not properly. U need to enable "Automatically Blacklight Adjustment" under WinMo before boot into Android. Light Sensor works on fresh reboot, but after using android for awhile, and light sensor not working anymore. To get Light Sensor works again, u need to fresh reboot android again
thanks, will try. I am using chucky droidrom and can't find auto brightness option.
Lets just be thankful that we got android running on our phone...if you must have auto light, use winmo...

Thank u so much. I finally managed to find the registry key that controls auto brightness in chuckydroidrom, and now auto brightness in android works (for now)
BTW, I am thankful to the developers, however, thought they should clear things out instead of just saying "it works" and omit the part "how".
I googled all night, read carefully every 1st post in every build, couldnot find anything related, that's why I asked
Thanks again to every contributor

I open phm registry editor in winmo(included in "tools"), search "backlight" in the current user section, u will find "backlight" under "control panel", there are several keys in it. change "lightDetectOn" to 1 and the screen brightness will change immediately according to ambient light.
launch android
PS. after some time, auto backlight stops working..... and I think the sensors still works coz when I open android sensor data, it reads normally, the system just ignore it after a while.
Thanks for the enlightment. How about in the Android,do you change any settings?
didn't change anything, just enable auto brightness.

f*@!kin auto brightness

can someone please tell me how to disable auto brightness on
x10i eternity rom build 003
i tried using every brightness app/widget possible to turn it off but as soon as i turn it off and put the phone under different light setting i can see that the auto brightness is still on
i tried using adjbrightness but it keeps telling me that my phone isnt rooted; anyone get this app to work on x10??
please help n sorry if this questions been asked and answered before. this forum is getting too big and broad sometimes to find anything
thx in advance
Have you tried Sparepart? (That's the name)
Strange, i can't seem to turn on my autobrightness. It used to work perfectly in android 1.6. And i haven't noticed it untill recently. When auto brightness is checked, it just stays the same, even when i hold it directly under a lamp. Maby there is a bug in the software that prevents switching it on or off?
I'd also like an answer to this problem, because with auto brightness on the telephone is a battery eater.. you have to keep it to the minimum level to disable it, but when you are under a strong light, like outdoor with a sunny weather, it's difficult to see your screen's details. as you select a brightness level different from zero, the autobrightness turns on and eats the battery.
I hope I'm missing the solution to this, and somebody will help, because all the applications i've tried (spareparts included) didn't worked.
I'm quite confuse now.....
What actually do we need......
Turn it on...
or
Turn it off...
LOL
heh, so some people want a way to turn it off and others, like me, want to find a way to turn it on?
what a crazy phone..
I'm sure there used to be a tick box in the display settings to turn on/off the auto brightness. Anyway, i've tried various applications myself to get it on but nothing does it. I think the best solution is for us all to swap phones .
Spare Parts doesn't work for me, i tried enabling it, restarting the phone and jumping under my duvet.. but it didn't change
Did you update to 2.1? It was disabled in 2.1 as far as I know.
So the easiest solution, upgrade to 2.1! Else, I don't remember the menu but it's somewhere in the settings under 1.6.
I think we've all updated to 2.1 here =)
and yes, in 1.6 there was a box to tick to unable/disable autobrightness.
But, in 2.1, this feature has disappeared, leaving a seekbar and a damned widget which doesn't allow you to set or no autobrightness.
Hi,
The autobrightness is still there. It can be turned on/of from a stock SE connection widget. The different state for brightness is "minimum" -> "auto" -> "maximum"

Thats pretty much, exactly, what dpk0875 said, if i'm not mistaken.

I can get, either 0%, or 100% brightness, with the ambient sensor disabled. Anything in-between, fades constantly.
No fix for this, i presume?
Reading websites while the screen fades in/out every couple of seconds drives me mad.
Ive never had any problem with it as long as you dont lean in front of it all the time lol.

Whites not as vibrant as before

Hey all so recently my galaxy s2 whites don't have the vibe/brightness they had before. Using the internet or gmail for example is where i am noticing the problem. Things I did before I started noticing this issue was clear ram/do a backup using cwm and let my friend use the phone. Any ideas what might cause this? and yes i have brightness set to 100%
Which ROM are you using? If you are on a stock ROM go to Display settings and there will be a Background Effect option, changing this may help you. Might sound stupid but check your brightness while you are in the Display settings. Also, I'm not sure on this but I think there is a specific brightness setting in the browser options make sure you have a look around there too.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am on the stock rom with brightness maxed/background effect on standard browser brightness is also 100%.
The white text/app icons in the homescreen/application drawer have the bright whites i want but when i actually go into an app they aren't as bright as before.
Hmm update when I have the internet browser open and click the search bar to type in an address the screen gets really bright as it was before but when i close the search window that brings up the keypad it goes back to the previous dim white/colors. pressing the menu button in an internet browser also has the same effect
I think I fixed it there was an option in display called auto adjust screen power that was checked. Does clearing the ram reset all settings back to factory settings or something?

Nav buttons wont lit up. but they are functional.

i am on omega 6. (i am asking in this forum cos i don't know its its omega 6 ROM related)
the buttons are working fine just not lit up.
the only time they are lit up it's when rebooting.
so i think its software issue.
did it happened to anyone else?
anyone can have a direction to how to solve it?
Thank you.
Have a look in Settings > Display > Touch key light duration. What's it set to? If it's set to "Always Off", there's your problem.

(fixed) KingKang Rom Unofficial Source Build - Clock wrong and no notification LED

Hello guys,
two (I hope) little problems. I installed "KingKang Rom Unofficial Source Build" yesterday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007132
At the moment everything works fine beside two problems:
- The clock on the top right is one hour off
Yeah, the clock is one hour behind the real time. But only in this clock. The clock widget, the clock on lockscreen and the clock in the clock settings are working fine. Any chance to (manually) change this? Probably it thinks it's in summer time?!
- The notification LED is off
No light for notifications or charging. Could be the Kernel (Buttered Toast with captive backlight off), but I thought it only desables the light of the buttons. Haven't seen an option in the settings yet.
Probably someone knows how to fix it. Anyhow I will change the kernel with backlight on and probably flash the ROM over a second time, when I get home.
Any help appreciated
cya,
MChief
Hello, I see your having some issues with Kingkang rom. The clock is off by an hour? OK have you set the correct time zone in date/ time settings? That happens to me sometimes when I flash Mazda's aokp jb ROMs. As for notification light, have you tried enabling in led under rom control? The capavative lights have nothing to do with led lights. Buttered toast kernel works fine for me. FYI I know your new here, and you aren't able to post in development yet( perspectively in kingkang thread) you need at least ten posts to post there. My suggestion is to go in general section and get in a couple discussions about something to build your count up so you can post in development.

Like you can see on my "join date" I'm not really new, but it's hard for me to write on other topics
Like I said, the other clocks are working perfect with correct time/zone etc. like it is chosen in settings. Only then "main" clock doesn't want to...
There is a LED Control option in the settings, but when the light in the app picture goes on, the LED of my phone doesn't. I also changed the setting there to see if it will overwright something.
Yes, maybe I should join a few conversations to ask the devs directly. THX for the answer
I use light flow lite from the play store to control my led lights notifications, you may also have an issue with no control over screen brightness, use rootdim
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
Ok, so after a reboot (sadly one i didn't want to do...) the clock is working as it should.
BUT yesterday I installed light flow, but didn't get the LED to work. This morning I THINK I got it working by enabling "icd backlight LED".
State at the moment: When I want to unlock the screen it goes on for a second and then goes totally black like in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20012996
Don't know where "s6e8aa0 control" is...
And the capavative lights like to go on and never go off. Only a reboot helps here. Also produced by light flow.
Now I deinstalled light flow
So after installing the full version of light flow and playing with the sttings I got it to work at the first try.
It's now with HTC compability mode and without the "icd backlight LED".
Probably also the update to the newest buttered toast kernel and setting the min. Mhz from 1** to 3**. I will test that.
Well I'm glad you got it to work
Ok, it's also working with 1** Mhz. So it was the "icd backlight LED".
Light Flow isn't working how i would like it. I only want the normal notifications...
