Despite pbra message, it really turned OFF the backlight when set to min. (Confirmed in a black room)

It displays an ajustable bar (tranparence, position, size) on top of current screen .

And it work pretty well although it quite difficult to slide to 1% level.

The app Moon+ Reader can swith off the backlight too when ajusting ligtning to 0.
But it seems to badly lower contrast too...


----------

Previously, after some fiddling around I managed to swich off the backlight
with these commands (tested in a adb shell in su mode; Also on the device with a Terminal apk)

// backlight off
echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/mxc_msp430_fl.0/brightness

// backlight min
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/mxc_msp430_fl.0/brightness

// backlight max
echo 100 > /sys/class/backlight/mxc_msp430_fl.0/brightness

May be an apk with preset to 0, 1, 100, and prefered value would be usefull...
