LUMOS v10 RC2 (Complete HTC Auto-Backlight replacement)
 

http://i44.tinypic.com/308zg8y.png

. . . . (current version 10 RC2)
More control. More battery. More comfort.



Lumos is fully customizable auto-backlight changer developed as a complete replacement for HTC built-in auto backlight service in newest HTC devices starting from HTC Diamond and Raphael. It focuses on minimal CPU usage (0.05-0.3%), maximum battery saving, low memory footprint and maximum backlight change smoothness and responsiveness. Lumos combines only the best from all currently available auto-backlight solutions and adds many extras

Features:
- simple and clean installation and uninstalation
- extremely low CPU usage when working, 0.05-0.3% on polling
- 0.00% CPU usage when display dims and in standby
- low memory usage considering all the options
- NO battery drainage overhead if you don't use your phone
- you don't lose configuration and calibration data between versions (v07 through v09, v10 update needs recalibration)
- simple and reliable configuration GUI with calibration process
- many options that let you change every aspect of how your backlight works
- program exceptions to set different backlight for any application
- integrated tool to detect all active application names, leave it running on the background and it will log all application names you use
- configuration failsafe. No matter what you do, Lumos won't crash, just tell you what is wrong and use defaults.
- supports HTC Raphael, Diamond and Blackstone


Just install the CAB, start LumosWizard from programs or soft reset and you're all set!
- Lumos always installs to the device (no matter what you chose)
- Installer will create auto-start entry (Lumos will start after a soft-reset)
- Installer will create a shortcut to LumosWizard in your programs

- You will have to recalibrate Lumos after you upgrade from v09 to v10+, sensor measurement has changed!
It is strongly advised to disregard any hacks used in pre-10 versions of Lumos and calibrate your sensor carefully to real values 0-xxxx

Program installs to \Program Files\Lumos\
Lumos.exe = starts/stops auto backlight service
LumosWizard.exe = graphical tool to configure all aspects of Lumos
settings.txt = configuration file is not included in the package, it will be automatically generated by LumosWizard after successful calibration, you can edit it manually in your PC or by using LumosWizard, text edits in device are probably no longer possible because of unicode encoding.
LumosStarter.exe = (re)starts Lumos service without any visual feedback (used for startup after soft-reset and for special issues)

Language modules install to \Program Files\Lumos\Languages
- this folder contains also a sample language for translations called DeveloperEN.lng
To make your own translation:
- Look to \Program Files\Lumos\Languages, copy DeveloperEN.lng to your PC.
- Rename the file to YourLanguageName.lng
- Edit the file with notepad and follow the instructions inside, it's fairly straightforward.
- To test your translation, copy the file back to \Program Files\Lumos\Languages on your device and change the language in LumosWizard.
When you're done, send it to me using THIS FORM or rapidshare or something and PM me a link. I will add it to the Language pack and the next version.

I just wanted to bump up this post as for me atleast it has given my TP such a big increase in battery life. I think that EVERYONE should atleast give this program a try. Do the calibration by following the steps closely and it should help with our poor battery life.

When I am at home in my living room day or night with 1x roaming and no bluetooth or wifi on my battery usage is only 57 mAh with wifi on I use 176 mAh and with regular auto-adjust backlight im using 75 mAh and 194 mAh.

It may not be a major difference but for me at least i've been getting 24-36 hrs per charge with around 20 minutes of calls 10 texts and about 45 min internet on usually wi-fi and this is the only battery tweak I do myself.

btw I use the most recent energy ROM for TP.

make sure that you are using firefox and not internet exsplorer when downloading... ie causes all sorts of problems when downloading from forums.

Re: LUMOS v10 RC2 (Complete HTC Auto-Backlight replacement)
 

i noticed you have a touch. This product does not work on the touch as this product is not equiped with the lumos sensor needed. Again this doesnt work on the touch.
