"28" dims the light to the lowest possible. "27" is off.
I write a small script/app, which unfortunately only works with root access.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo 28 | /mnt/secure/su /bin/tee /sys/devices/platform/tps61161_bl/brightness
just put this into a file "brightness.app" in "applications".
Unfortunately the value will be reset when the reader goes to standby and back.
