If not I might find the time to search for a solution for the problem and adjust the KUAL app. |

I also would like this. I want to conserve battery even if it's only 20 minutes extra. Although I'm hoping it saves at least an hour :P There is no point in having the light on at all in a well lit place, and this would be a great mod.

"echo -n 0 >/sys/class/backlight/max77696-bl/brightness" works for me.
My PW3 is quite new and I poked around a little bit. In case anyone is interested - maybe the wiki would be the better place so please forgive me as I'm new here - here is my small frontlight documentation for PW3: # `devcap-get-feature -a frontlight` # returns 1 if there is a frontlight # `lipc-get-prop com.lab126.powerd flIntensity` # returns intensity 0-24, 25 (MAX) # `cat /sys/class/backlight/max77696-bl/brightness` # returns brightness 0, 1 (0), 2 (1), 3 (2), 4 (3), 6 (4), 14 (5), ... (...), 2531 (22), 2893 (23), 3280 (24), 4095 (MAX) # `echo -n 0 >/sys/class/backlight/max77696-bl/brightness` # turn frontlight off completely # `lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd flIntensity 0` (values 0-25) turn frontlight on, set intensity to 0-24 (brightness 1-4095) |

Just tap "Lights Out!" and the above command is ran and out goes the lights. Light turns back on when plugged in, or manually adjusted. To install: After you've installed KUAL, simply unzip, and place the lightsOut folder in /extensions (same as you would any other KUAL application.) EDIT: Obviously I'd find front light master after the fact. Oh well. Last edited by nobodySpecial; 08-18-2016 at 08:35 PM. |

And another (more elegant) solution. I have no idea why none of this was coming up in search for me! |
