as far as i know the only rom that has the option is in venom. inside venom tweaks. that is a option ..."always on"but that will kill your battery fast. is your light sensor not functioning correctly? mine come on and off depending on the room lighting conditions.

[Q] Favorite Forgotten Feature?

Pretty certain mine is the ability to swipe the notification bar left to right to adjust the brightness (assuming the auto-brightness is off).
So, whats your fav lost feature?
I know I have posted a lot of these in the tips/tricks, but its been a year.. some are old and forgotten. Could be new to people. Maybe there are new Tricks since I made that guide.
Holding the menu button on the xda app to get the search feature lol
Edit : not working 0.o

The thing with numbers I think its called dial pad but you put in a sequence of numbers and you can actually talk to your friends. That's pretty cool.

Hold upper-right corner (around clock, battery, signal icons) - the screen brightness goes to 100%
Swiping the letters to get specific artist names in songs to the music player. Swipe it while swiping it and you'll get and even more in depth search..

Long press of back button to quickly back out of several pages. Handy on XDA app as well as browser.

Suggestion: Alternate uses for the 3D Switch

No doubt it would require full root access, but it'd be very useful if the 3D Switch had a function outside of camera mode. One thought I had would be as a silent/vibrate toggle as found on the iphone. But that's a far cry from all the potential uses for it.

I was thinking maybe the camera button could be used for screenshots? That would be pretty awesome.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
maybe autobrightness and a user defined level would be sweet. also Setting up the camera button to do other things especially because its a dual stage button! we could have perform 2 seperate functions!
Any updates on this? Just got the 3d and I have miui running. The switch is now literally pointless. Any way we could make it a vibrate/sound toggle? Wifi on/off switch? Customizable switch? I just want all of my buttons to have a point in being a button.
Would it be possible to do with one of those Remap button apps?

With MIUI, press volume down + menu for screen shot!
I realize I'm about to stray into the wild crazy world of 'off topic' but here's a few other MIUI tips!

Browser brightness

With the new ics update my browser brightness has been very low. Cant find browser settings for it on stock unrooted. Things i adjusted are brightness and auto adjust. Unchecked brightness and put to full and browser still low. Seems like brightness is lowest possible in browser till i exit then screen is superbright. Anyone know of any fixes

[concept] LED notification light hack

Hello,
Today I had a couple i777's taken apart that I was fiddling with while I replaced the screen on one, and noticed that there is a location (facing the screen, the top right hand corner) that is just a metal brick. Possibly a heat sink, that could easily be drilled out to install a LED light for notifications! Then I was thinking about the location for soldering the light on, and thought.. Why not solder in line with the camera LED? There are apps that use the camera LED for flash notifications, right?
The only thing is, the camera LED would flash when the notification LED flashed.. Also there could only be 1 color LED, and visa versa, so if you took a picture with flash, notification LED would blink. Not too big of a problem though right? There would not need to be any drilling of the screen either.

You would need a current limiting resistor for the new notification led. If you make the same current available to that led as the high power flash led, you will release the magic smoke.

Right of course! All LEDs need resisters, but some come in Little light sister packages

Or you could use the softkeys for notifications like the rest of us

Floating Notifications....app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=robj.floating.notifications I ran into this the other day and thought wow this works really well espcially for mycolorscreen set up i have curretnly with no status bar or anyting was really liking, i believe this is to replicate the "holo" feature on cm rom's you guys tried this what do you guys think??
So ive seen this out for a while now, and thought it was some cheesey knockoff version of Holo. I said to myself why waste my time. Then seeing this thread, and being bored I just gave it a go. Boy am I glad I did, ive run AOSP roms with holo and its still nothing compared to this. This is like simple multitasking amd they can be hidden whenever! Much better!
Thanks for being the one to make me finally try this out!

No problem I thought the same as well I haven't actually tried the holo but I love this as I tend to stick with tw bases

Been running it since build 2...big fan. It's great for quick views of emails/text etc when watching a movie or playing a game without having to exit and go to the app directly. You can view the header and then decide if you want to respond or not.
Really good find. can't wait to play with this
I made a youtube video about this when it was in beta stage. The developer is in the android apps and games forum. This is good stuff even for people that arent rooted. :thumbup:

Put myself in hot-reboot city last night. Enabled this in accessibility, rocking Beans 18 and AOSP lock screen - just started hot booting to the lock screen. Touch the lock - cycle repeats. Pulled the notification bar to get into settings and turned it off. It stopped.
I'm guessing AOSP lock screen + Xposed status bar + this checked in accessibility = no bueno.

Same exact set up (minus xposed status bar) and had the same issue with rebooting. Issue started 5 minutes after installing the app and allowing accessibility. Issue stopped after I deleted the app. Gonna try to see if I can change a few things to get it working.

Me neither, but it does! Lol. Trust me. I was eating a queasadilla and didn't see it coming.
I don't think it likes my xposed setup.

The issue is AOSP lockscreen and Accessibility settings. If you're on standard TW lockscreen, there are no problems. Had the same issue with LightFlow previously.
The only thing I have a problem with, and its probably something that cant be fixed is when I get the bubble on the lock screen and click on it ot doesnt unlock. Any fix for this?

click it and then click the actual text it self should pull the app up or the notification up... if i remember right

Good to know.
I assumed as much, but I love the AOSP lock screen. No lock/pattern AND music controls. Plus, the clock looks cleaner.
How well does this app work without accessibility turned on? Or does it? I flipped it on at about 2 am and messed around for about 15 mins before I started my trip to Las Bootsville, so I didn't get any notifications then.

Caused my phone to freeze up too. Didn't try this fix but will give it a try and see what happens. I hope it works.
