[Q] Z1 notification LED brightness - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone!
I registered here years ago, but forgot my password and login lol, so i made a new account, anyways, ive recently bought a xperia z1, unlocked the bootloader, rooted with custom firmware and kernal (i know the basics etc).
Anyways, my question is i previously owned an xperia S and there was a mod where you can increase the notification led brightness, ive looked through the system files of my Z1 and i cant seem to find the required file (obviously theres alot of changes, im not a noob.)
Is there anyway to increase the brightness of it?

+1,i want to know that too.

Yes but that will mean running an app in the background?
Thats why i didnt mention that.
What im looking for is how to increase the intensity, same as the mod on xperia s, having more brighter notification led without an app...
The only reason why im stuck at this is because i see similar folders but different files in the folder location.

Lockscreen Pulldown Notifications?

Hi there,
I'm looking at buying an Xperia Z but i've got a quick question about the lockscreen. On the model i tried in the shop you couldn't pull down the notification shade on the lockscreen (this was with swipe to unlocked enabled, no extra password or pattern) To anyone with a Z, is there a setting that turns this on, or perhaps the shop model was on earlier firmware? I really like being able to access my notifications without unlocking the phone and i thought they made this standard since Jelly Bean.
Thanks
Yes you can

Thanks mate, shop model must have been an earlier build.
I noticed, that this behaviour is happening when your phone is without SIM card.

Lookout for anti theft and location and root with the bin4ry root, the others cause random reboots.

+1, especially if you need to ask such a question on a development forum.
Well, i will be putting custom roms and mods into the phone anyway. i want to use the phone to its full potential.
Anyway, what is the best thief tracking, or securing program, that guarantees that i can trace him? Since i just lost my phone, i want to secure this one properly.
Thanks for replys, i will look into it in the evning.

[Q] How to disable DLS?

Is there a way to disable DLS on .257? I hate they removed an option to disable it from regular display settings. I don't want darker images to appear even darker on my display. I hated DLS on Xperia T I had, and I definitely hate it even more now.

I am reflashing back to the original .534 firmware just to uncheck that stupid box and then upgrade to see if it stays un checked.
If it isnt, then ill flash back and use the old firmware until they fix it.
That won't solve this crap. Don't bother.

damn it, jus tried flashing the .534 and .531 for some reason i could turn that **** off, but after a few reboots the thing just stayed blank after passing the Sony screen. gonna just updated to current and return this ****.
THe xperia Z was old but still better, at least i could disable it.
This **** is nice, feels nice, almost everything works. I just need this option disabled and a proper panoramic.

Is there a way to turn off auto contrast?

I cant seem to find the option in the new firmware and no one has any input

Settings, Display, Brightness
UN tick Adapt to lighting conditions.
Is that what you wanted?
There was another setting before the 257 update that let you uncheck an option that said something like 'automatic change screen condition to save battery"
I'll just have to reflash the old version to do a screen shot for you guys.

I've posted similar question earlier, but no answer so far. It was called "Optimised backlight" and it was positioned right below "Pulse notification light". It is basically DLS (Dynamic Luminance Scaling) and it is the most annoying power-saving feature in the known universe and I absolutely hate it. It should be a way to disable it with root explorer, but I can't find it in the folder where it was on my Xperia T.

I think I read somewhere that Sony removed it due to it bugging out with some apps.
They should remove it then, not leave us without possibility to turn this crap off.
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah. I would think if it doesn't work when on, then they should have disable it and left it off by default.
All other Android phone worked without trying to change this crap.
I love this phone but it's annoying me a lot when reading text that has dark background and graphics.

Display and company behind it

Hello XDA community.
Me and my best friend have Xperia Z1 for a month now.
We saw some difrence betwen our phones (He have yellowish screen comparing to my White, and also under sunlight i have almost completly black screen, while he have more red color screen).
I did know the name of aplication which can check Who manufacture our display but cant remember.
Can anyone tell me if knows.
Thank you XDA. All the best.

Not too sure on the manufacturer, you could try the service menu.
*#*#service#*#*
As for the tint, if youve unlocked the boot loader (read up about it if you haven't) you can install doom kernel then modify your white balance and then install pimp my xperia from play store and mod it again. You can strike a decent balance using the two of them and you can nearly eliminate the yellow tint. Worth a try.
Just don't forget to research first if the boot loader is still locked.

Unfortunately we got carrier locked bootloaders, so that is not option for us.
That diference dosent bother us at all, we are just curious which company made our LCD panels.
We had similar stuff on Xperia S, where you can actually read who made it, but cant remember the app name :/
Anyway, thank you for your effort
You have to be Rooted and Terminal Emulator.
Here is the Original thread which explain how to do it.

This is mine, Sharp Renesas 1080p video, the other once can be JDC Renesas 1080p video.
Which one is the better one?
BTW, with Terminal Emulator you can check the ID panel even without Root, just type this code
Code:
cd /sys/devices/mdss_dsi_panel
cat panel_id
Hi, thank you for reply.
I tryed with this Un rooted method and it gives me message "access is denied".
Maybe i need to root it after all.

I have a yellowish screen too, I'm using these white balance settings, yellow tint is almost entirely gone and it also adds saturation, tell your friend to give it a try.
