TurnOffTheLight 1.0 – utility to turn backlight off for Windows Mobile

kinnikun — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 10:39:00 +0000

Tom_Hungston has created an app for easily turning off your device’s screen. This idea comes from the notion that you might wear your power button out by using it too much. Thus, this app was created to lower the frequency of button presses. Rather than using the power button to turn the screen on and off, tap on this small application to turn the screen off.

AutoLight V2.3 – Better Auto Backlight for Topaz

. Saijo — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:54:21 +0000

Auto Backlight

AutoLight was developed for HTC Topaz (Diamond 2) with WM6.1 and it critically depends on HTCSensorSDK.dll, HTCUtil.dll and on a 10 levels backlight starting from value 1. It has been reported to work with WM6.5 and on Rhodium (Touch Pro 2) and it might works on some other HTC phone and it will most likely not work on non-HTC phones. AutoLight is a native application with a very low memory usage. On the other hand the Configurator requires Compact Framework 2 but it should be closed after the use. The Configurator is designed for WVGA screens.

Install

Run AutoLight.cab and install in main memory (not in storage card), run AutoLight.Config.cab and install where you like, then softreset (this should also disable the native auto adjust backlight function, check for that in the Control Panel Power applet).
If you have previously installed autolight V2.x and want only upgrade to V2.3 without having your configuration reset to default use the Configurator to stop AutoLight. After that overwrite AutoLight.exe, ChangeLight.exe and AutoLightConfig.exe with the files you find inside AutoLight.zip and softreset.
