Ajust laptop brightness

Hello everyone, i have this strange issue: i can't ajust my laptop brightness.
The display indicates it is reducing/increasing but nothing happens ...

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Backlight#ACPI and see this post from another thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 8#p1472378
Start with that and if you're still stuck we will require a lot more information than "I can't adjust my laptop brightness."

[SOLVED] Systemd forcing laptop brightness down to zero.

Can somebody please, pretty please, explain to me how I can tell systemd to STOP turning off my laptop brightness half-way during boot?
Started Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of acpi_video0.
Turns brightness down to zero. According to the man page:
[email protected] is a service that restores the display backlight brightness at early-boot and saves it at shutdown. On disk, the backlight brightness is stored in /var/lib/backlight/.
On my Arch it is actually in /var/lib/systemd/backlight/acpi0. I tried modifying the value to anything between 1 and 100 but it the file is reset to 0 every boot, maybe this is normal.
I also tried to disable the damn systemd-backlight service but it re-enables itself every boot too.
Please can somebody help me, I'm pulling my hair out. I have tried various kernel parameters and acpi_backlight=vendor works but forces brightness to 100% and I can't change it. (unless of course if I force /sys/class/... which is not a solution)

It definitely isn't normal for it to keep going to 0. Mine currently has the value 12 in it. (My file is /var/lib/systemd/backlight/acpi_video0.) I'm not sure if it makes a difference that I have laptop-mode-tools managing the backlight, though. But I don't see it go to 0 at any point during boot.
That is, unless something somewhere is configuring it this way, this sounds like a bug and the solution you're using a work around. Not suggesting you shouldn't use it, of course, but maybe worth reporting, too?

[SOLVED]suspend laptop: brightness always goes to 0

Hi everyone,
I'm using laptop-mode to control the brightness of my LCD. Here is the snipped of the "/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/lcd-brightness.conf":
# Should laptop mode tools control LCD brightness?
CONTROL_BRIGHTNESS=1
# Commands to execute to set the brightness on your LCD
BATT_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 22"
LM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 23"
NOLM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 24"
BRIGHTNESS_OUTPUT="/proc/acpi/video/IGFX/LCD/brightness"
I work with a lot of vim sessions and multiple xterms and when I set my laptop to hibernate (suspend2disk) with pm-utils, everything works lightning fast and without a problem (Arch is a revelation for me, it's magnificent). The only problem is that the brightness variable in the /proc/acpi/video/IGFX/LCD/brightness, the current one is set to 0 after I wake up from suspend to disk. If I unplug the cable, nothing happens (switch to battery), if I plug it back in, a small increase (not like the huge ones I have defined in the code block above) happens.
What could be the reason? Could acpi control this even if I have set the laptop-mode obviously to control the LCD?
Has anyone had these issues? This is the only thing that is keeping me shuting down the machine.... and to resume my work after takes about 4.67 annoying minutes with the use of vim sessions....
Help?

I found the solution.
The note in the /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/lcd-brightness.conf that states that these values for the echo commands at the bottom of this file can be read from /sys/class/backlight/../max_brightness are wrong at least for my Laptop. This info is for HP Compaq 615:
if you want to have your brightness set properly, check out the values that are already in the /proc/acpi/video/IGFX/LCD/brightness file (with maybe IGFX changed to VID on some machines). In this file the values are defined from 0 to 100, so the value of 24 from the max_brightness file is actually a very low brightness value, not even near to 100% brightness. The proper way to define the echo commands in lcd-brightness.conf file is to set them accordingly to the ones defined in the brightness file, not max_brightness file.
cool. I love Arch linux. It makes me learn.

Laptop brightness in gnome

hi i have a small problem. every 2 minutes the brightness of my laptop is going down to about 50%. so everytime i have to manual set the brightness to 100% with FN keys. what can i do?
thanks

Hohoho wrote:I had the same issue, but my memory fails me too, its one of these for sure:
1) use xscreensaver instead of gnome-screensaver, or none at all
2) play around with xset settings in terminal
3) use gconf-editor and look for some keys relating to gnome-power-manager and screensaver, switch em around
allright now! i found a tutorial how to replace gnome-screensaver with xscreensaver! there is no problem with brightness! and i like the skytentacles thing!! xd

[XFCE] Laptop Brightness OSD?

A couple days ago, I was checking to see if brightness adjustment worked [it hadn't for the longest time, but I figured I'd try anyway since my laptop was almost out of battery] and it didn't at the time. However there was a bubble in the middle of the screen showing the supposed brightness level.
I've since figured out how to get my backlight working, but I can't get that OSD to appear again. From what I've been able to search up, it seems to be part of xfce4-power-manager.
I'm wondering: Does anyone know how to get this working reliably or know of a lightweight alternative to it?
Thanks!

Actually, I have working brightness keys (acpid + acpi_osi=Linux kernel bootline got this working), but I was looking for the actual notify bubble. It happened like twice, and it seems that XFCE's power manager is responsible for this, but there isn't any setting or documentation on this.
Your reply prompted me to make a little script that sits in the background and makes notify bubbles for brightness, since this has been a nagging issue every time I have to go mobile.
Here's a little script that shows notify bubbles if you change the brightness, the only issue is that (with xfce4-notifyd at least) the bubbles don't replace each other, so I set the expire time a little low and set the delay time a little higher so you don't end up filling your screen with bubbles.
The only non-standard dependency is bc, since bash can't do floating point math.
#!/bin/bash
# Put the full path to your backlight's sys folder here.
backclass=/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0
# How long to wait between brightness checks? (Seconds)
delay=2
while true; do
# Get the current backlight number
read current<"${backclass}/actual_brightness"
# Check for changes
if [ "$current" != "$last" ]; then
# If there ARE changes, it's ok to run the rest.
read max <"${backclass}/max_brightness"
percent=$(printf "%s\n" "scale = 2; ${current}/${max}" | bc | tr -d '.')
# Spit the notification out on whatever notify daemon we're using
notify-send "Brightness" -i xfpm-brightness-lcd -h int:value:${percent} -h string:synchronous:volume -t 4000
fi
# Create a "Last" Value for the next check
last=$current
# Wait this long before running the check again
sleep $delay
done

Laptop brightness too bright after installing kpowersave!!

Just managed to install kpowersave-devel 0.7.3-1 using AUR.
However, after restarting the laptop, the brightness is extremely bright.
command
xbacklight -dec 30%
outputs
No outputs have backlight property
After idea what can be done to adjust the brightness?
I am using the kde (not kdemod)

kpowersave is not enough ?
there are options there
Good questions
I am stumbled by habit !! Was using xbacklight previously and never thought too much about kpowersave.
You are right , kpowersave can do the same :lol::lol::lol:
my apology for the confusion !

Can't adjust screen brightness on Acer Aspire One anymore

It used to work before, but now that kernel26-one-dev is really outdated, I've started using the standard Arch kernel26 package. I can't adjust brightness with the fn keys, and GNOME's brightness adjustment applet says it's unable to get laptop brightness read.
I guess it could be acpid related, /sys/class/backlight/ is empty, but I'm currently doing a full system upgrade and will update the thread if that solves it.

What I don't understand is how to use this information. The /devices.... do not exist.
On this laptop I also have an S1 and AV MODE key and volume keys.
The volume keys work out of the box. The S1 key prints out:
sony-laptop: sony_nc_notify, event: 0x20
sony-laptop: sony_nc_notify, event: 0x38
and the AV MODE key prints:
sony-laptop: Unknown event: 0x100 0xa1

sony-laptop: Unknown event: 0x100 0x21
sony-laptop: sony_nc_notify, event:
0x21
The media keys print nothing ....
Any ideas?

The media keys don't have acpi events, they are regular xf86-media keys that you can assign normally like on any multimedia keyboard. You only need the standard sony-laptop module enabled (which you already have), the Z-version won't help as it only contains extra information for z-specific hardware like dual-graphics and hsdpa module etc.

Yoga 2 Pro Brightness stuck at 100%

Hi,
After the last BIOS update my laptop brightness is stuck at 100%.
Lenovo tech. did remote access and reinstalled Graphic drivers and changed registry for brightness and that didn't work.
He told me I will have to send the laptop in and they would have to reset the BIOS manually there to fix the issue and that everything will get wiped out.
Has anyone else had the same or similar issue.
If yes is there any other fix?
Thank u guys.

Hi
have the same issue, cannot change brightness since yesterday, it is stuck at 100%, brightness keys don`t do anything, in Charms bar brightness level shows a lock.
But it all happened WITHOUT the latest bios update and before latest grahics driver from Lenovo website was installed!
I even made the bios update and tried all newer/older graphics driver in hope of a change. but nothing changed. Unfortunately my Windows recovery points from days ago are showing errors, so i can`t go back a few days, can only try to refresh windows if there is no other solution...
Any help??

Satellite C850-B735 brightness control stop working

Hi,
I am having problem with brightness control.
When I restart or start my laptop, brightness control works fine (fn+f2 to decrease, fn+f3 to increase)
When I sleep laptop and resume laptop, the brightness control stop working and brightness of lcd remains to high bright.
i-e- when pressing fn+f2 or fn+f3, brightness is not decreasing or increasing.
It was working before two days. I didn't install or update any display driver and driver from toshiba download site is installed from the day first. display-20130111074851.zip

Hi Chand
This is user-to-user forum and we can try to help you with useful tips.
You cannot expect that someone collect and send you drivers. How to send you, for instance, display driver with 100 MB capacity.
You must download it alone. I presume you have machine designed for Middle East so visit please Toshiba support page on http://www.toshibamea.com/ choose your destination and check for support. As far as I know Toshiba offers drivers for supported operating systems.
Instructions about Win8.1 upgrade you can read on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/
By the way: have you upgraded Win8 that you got to Win8.1? Im not 100% sure but I presume you got machine with Win8 64bit version, right?
Have you created recovery media before you have installed Win8.1 version? If not please do this. Recovery media creation is very important.

Tecra 8000 on XP pro ... how to adjust brightness

Hi
I have recently purchased a Tecra 8000 with XP Pro installed.
Unfortunatly the LCD appears too bright but I can find no way of adjusting it.
I understand that there is a display utility for adjusting toshiba laptop brightness.
Can someone tell me if there is one for XP and if possible direct me to it
cheers
Michael

Hi
Usually the key combination FN+F6 and FN+F7 decreases or increases the display brightness.
But this works only if the Toshiba drivers are preinstalled. So check firstly if you have installed all necessary drivers and utilities on your notebook.
Do you know where to find the necessary drivers on the Toshiba page?

Q&A Guide about ZEN Touch 2

Hey people!
I had time to kill, and I've been around since a while now; I now own a ZEN Touch 2 since more than 6 months. I figured out I'm able to help quite a lot of people about this device, actually (even though I don't have an astronomic number of posts), and I felt like writing a little guide about common questions about the ZEN Touch 2 could help, why not?
First of all, this is a guide applying to the ZEN Touch 2, I don't know about the ZiiO. Maybe my tricks will work on both devices, but I can't be sure about it.
LAST UPDATED: November 23th 2012.
Q: Why does my ZEN Touch 2 freeze so often?
I've got 2 theories about why these freezes happen so often: I own another Android device, which have a fairly weaker processor than the ZEN Touch 2, and it does not freeze at all. So the ZEN Touch 2 is quite powerful! But even on Android 2.2.1, it's perhaps the installed stock firmware that is unstable. That cause the problem.
Second theory, I believe the ZEN Touch 2 don't have much RAM availible! Around 200-256 MB. What's interesting here, is that my other cellphone does have a weaker processor (600 MHz VS 800 MHz), but it also have more RAM, 512 MB! That could be the reason why the ZEN Touch 2 freeze so often, when the device is basically running out of RAM.
Or it could be both! An unstable firmware installed, and no enough RAM. Who knows?
Q: Okay, but how can I fix this issue?
There's no magic way to make your device running super-fast like any other smartphone, especially if the problem is the lack of RAM, rather than the unstable firmware. The number 1 solution, it's obvious: uninstall APPs. The more APPs are installed, the more RAM they use. The more your device is going to freeze/crashe. Myself, I don't have many APPs installed, only 17 (Some of them being like 500 Ko, or even extensions or themes, that are only 150 Ko). I use my ZEN Touch 2 only for listening to music, and browsing the Internet using Flash Player. It does the job well enough.
What you could also do, is install the APK/APP Fast Reboot Pro. I have it installed, and it free your phone memory everytime you unlock your screen, or press the widget. Extremely usefull. That'll help to prevent the ZEN from freezing, a bit.
Well, even though I have 17 APPs installed, including Fast Reboot Pro, my Touch 2 still crash, rarely. I've been experiencing a serious issue about my ZEN booting loop, for no reason at all! Had to boot in recovery mode, and wipe the data. Which lead me to think the stock firmware can also be the problem for unstability.
Q: How do I install APPs on the ZEN Touch 2 ?
Since the Market is unavailible (I've tried to install it without any success. However, seems like some people managed to install it, most probably with root. I've tried, but cannot get it to work, myself), you'll have to download APK files. You have the choice to download from ZiiO Space, or from any other website. Download an APK file, save it anywhere on your SD Card, then open the built-in APP "Explorer" on the ZEN. Lauch the .APK, install it, and you're done.
Remember to check "Enable unknown sources" on the "Manage Applications" menu!
A fastest method, you could manually download and install "SlideME". I've used it for a while, and it's a Android-Market / Google-Play "Like". It'll work without any problem on the ZEN.
Q: Is the ZEN Touch 2 rootable ?
Yes it is!
First thing first, rooting your device will void your warrantee. I did it, since I live in Canada, and I have no intention of returning the device in California if it break. I am not responsible if you brick your device doing the process, even though nothing wrong should happens. If you don't know what is Root Access, you better not doing this.
I've used the following method. It worked like a charm.
Install the Z4Root APK. Now your Antivirus (Computer maybe, and ZEN Touch 2 antivirus as well, if you have one) will warn you it contain a malware. Z4Root is not a virus! Simply because it perform actions that can be dangerous to your device, that's why you get a warning.
Launch Z4Root, and press the "Root" button (Not temporary). Z4Root will do the rest automaticly! Then your device will reboot, which is normal. Don't do anything during the rooting process, however!
If the rooting worked, you should now see the APP "Superuser" in your APP Drawer.
You still have the option to Un-Root your device - assuming you want to return the ZEN to the store, for example - by launching Z4Root again, and press the button "Un-Root". Simple as that.
Q: Can you install a Custom ROM such as Cyanogenmod ?
I've tried without any success... I was hoping install another firmware would make the device as stable as it should be.
I installed ROM Manager, but when the APP ask you to backup your current bootloader and select your device, the ZEN Touch 2 isn't in the list, so I couldn't perform the backup.
There are more complex ways of installing another ROM, but I haven't tested those. This is becoming quite dangerous.
I requested help on XDA Forums, but haven't got any, sadly.
Q: The GPS doesn't work !
Okay, so I don't know if your device really is defective, but I can tell you about my experience; I always disliked Google Maps APP, since it requires you have a Wi-Fi connection availible to use your GPS. Not pretty helpful when outside.
What I recommend you, is to install the APP Locus (Keep that in mind: the more APPs you install, the more your device will freeze.). Free version is powerful enough. What I like about this magical APP, it allows you to download maps, so that you can view them offline (They are pretty big in size)! Download a few maps, and activate your GPS, it should seek your position.
I believe when people says their GPS doesn't work, it's mainly because the ZEN Touch 2 GPS is really slow to find your position. Really. I first had trouble with this too, and for the GPS do to his things, this can takes up to 15-30 minutes, no kidding. And when the GPS work, it have chances to loose your position randomly.
So yeah, sad to say that, but the GPS on the Touch 2 isn't the best. My position is find instantly on my other 600 MHz smartphone (LG Optimus One).
Q: What is the Recovery Mode, and how do I access it ?
You can access Recovery Mode by holding the HOME button and then turning ON your device at the same time. This menu can be really useful, and even save your device, like it did for me.
Here are the options availible:
- Reboot System Now;
- Apply Sdcard : update.zip;
This is used to update your firmware if you're still on Android 2.1. You could also install Custom ROMs with the filename update.zip that you've put to the root of your internal storage. Highly not recommended to install any Custom ROM, since these ROMs aren't customized for the ZEN Touch 2, simply!
- Wipe Data / Factory Reset;
This delete all of your data on the ZEN, to bring it back to his original state. For some reason, when I used this option, it kept everything that's on my internal storage (Music, Pictures..). GLAD that did. What I've lost, were the APPs I installed, and my Android settings. My APPs were all backed up, so that was no big deal. I wiped the device 3 times, and I can confirm that the data in /mnt/sdcard (The internal storage where you put your music, on USB) isn't deleted. All you have to restore is APPs (If they're backed up, that's fast) and ZEN settings.
Also, be advised that wiping the device does not "unroot" the ZEN - Superuser APP is still there, and the device is still rooted. Notice that if you have uninstalled system APPs (see below), the APPs won't be reinstalled automatically. You'll have to reinstall them manually, if you want them back - hope you have a backup of these APPs!
I had to use this option to stop my ZEN from booting in loop. I thought it wouldn't change anything!
- Wipe Cache Partition;
Wipes the cache partition of the device to clear all the data accumulated there over use.
Thanks to Haroon Q. Raja from AddictiveTips for the info.
Q: Would you qualify the ZEN Touch 2 as a durable unit ?
Well, "on the outside", yes. People (Not me! :P) dropped my ZEN twice, without any consequence (That freaked me out).
Maybe I was lucky, don't know. But durable "on the inside", the firmware and all this stuff, it's a no-no. I should you have more chance that your ZEN will die for no reason because of the firmware, rather than die because you dropped it (Well, just don't drop it in the pool...).
Q: The stock music player suck, I have no control at all !
What I recommend you to install (Personally) :
PlayerPro for the look;
PowerAMP for functionalities. I used PowerAMP, since it sort my music better. I've switched to NRG music player, since PowerAMP became glitchy, for some reason.
Both are shareware, but since there's no access to the Market, you have no choice, but to download illegally. I apologize Creative, for approving the download of APPs, but what else can we do? Simply make the Markey availible, that will sove this issue.
If you plan on getting PowerAMP, get it here, along with the Full Version Patch (You HAVE to be rooted for this to work! Tested, and work in my case):
http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic....fdb7e20fd84c70
1. Unistall your current version of PowerAMP.
2. Install PowerAMP.2.0.4.467 APK (Do not run it!)
3. Install PowerAmpPatcher by ChelpuS APK
4. Start the Patcher, and press the button.
5. Reboot the ZEN, then start PowerAMP. That should do it.
Warning: You will loose all your previous PowerAMP settings, however!
Since the ZEN Touch 2 is not a Google cellphone / has no Android Market, this is the only way to have PowerAMP all the time on your ZEN.
NRG Music Player is pretty decent as well, it can play different formats that PlayerPro can't. Still a shareware, but easy to download and install without hassle.
Q: Which Photo Gallery do you recommend ?
Everyone agree, nothing is worst than the Android stock Gallery, super slow, and doesn't sort your pictures at all! Again, I have 2 recommendations:
Grab Quickpic or Picturen. Both are extremely light (500 Ko), fast and there are a lot of zoom steps, for us ZEN Touch 2 owners without any multi-touch support! You can also hide the useless folders, or add a password to these hidden folders, if you prefer!
JustPictures! is also excellent, as well. Take a bit more space, a bit slower, but the interface is more attractive, and One-Touch zoom is supported. Some functions that are in QuickPic aren't in this APP, but I feel like JustPictures sort my photos better. I can put differents "accounts" or "folders" to sort all my pictures.
Screw the original 3D Gallery!
Q: Any browser I should get ?
That really depend on what you do...
Read this article, from november 2011:
http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Android-...view-1705.html
Opera Mini is lightning fast, but unfortunately, Flash Player is unsupported on this browser!
Note: Avoid browsing the Internet with a ZEN full of APPs, you'll get in trouble. I did this, and this was a nightmare, freezing all the time, have to reset...
I do this now, but with my 17 APPs installed. It's quite OK, I should say. Especially that I use Flash Player a lot.
Q: Any Home Replacement you recommend ?
I've been using Go Launcher Ex for a while, because it's resonably fast, beautiful and way customizable; ADW Laucher is pretty fast, too. I've now switche to Nemus Launcher - way lighter (The GO Dev Team applications really are getting bloated by useless features, sadly), and still pretty beautiful. Go Launcher Ex is more customizable, but is getting bigger and bigger in size (And RAM, maybe. Not sure.). 8-10 MB or up for an APP? Even for a Home Screen, I hope you're kidding me.
Both APPs allow you to add folders to the APP Drawer ! Excellent!
Q: I want to disable / customize the lockscreen.
Disable the lockscreen: NoLock;
Customize the lockscreen: WidgetLocker.
Q: Does the games play well ?
Yes, pretty good, with the 800 MHz processor of the ZEN Touch 2 !
Comparing it to the 600 MHz processor of my LG Optimus One, there really is a noticeable differece in fluidity. The vast majority of the games doesn't lag on the ZEN Touch 2, that's great.
If you want to try those games emulators (SNES, Genesis...), go ahead, they work decently. Unfortunately, since the Touch 2 doesn't have multitouch, that's a problem, but try to set Left-Right as volume Up-Down to move your caracther, it's pretty playable and fluid enough. The best games are the RPGs, for sure, since multitouch isn't necessary at all.
There are also 3D emulators, such as N64oid or PSX4Droid; these also work, but watch out! At that point, 800 MHz is not enough for these games to be "playable". Super Mario 64, for example, is the most playable game availible for N64oid, and still then, it is really slow (Not that enjoyable, seriously).
You're free to try N64oid or PSX4Droid for fun, but just saying, if you want to freeze your device, this is the way to go.
Super Mario 64 shouldn't freeze instantly your device. However, Mario Kart 64, Donkey Kong 64 or Tony Hawks (Tested) freeze your device for sure - you wouldn't even get past the "Press Start" screen. My advice: only try Super Mario 64.
Still then, the ZEN does play games (2D or 3D) smoothly enough!
Q: My ZEN keep booting in loop! What should I do ?
That happened to me once in a while, and this is freaky.
"ZEN Touch 2" screen, "Touch the Sound of Perfection screen" again, and again, and again...
First: wait. Maybe it'll boot
If your launcher still doesn't start, reset button (Inside the SD Card slot, very tiny) is your only choice, of course. Reset, then power it up again. It booted for me all the time, except once.
If that still doesn't work: Recovery Mode, like stated earlier.
Now, here's what could happen if you reset during the boot sequence; I got this extremely annoying problem like 3 times. Hooray, you can get to the launcher!
Now, what can unfortunately happen, is that you get random popup like "SmartKeyboard Pro Force Close", this stuff. You'll keep getting these popups. That mean the vast majority of your 3rd Party APPs are corrupted, and you'll have to uninstall, then install again almost every single APP... This is a serious pain!
Now, don't install again. It is very important that you uninstall first, then reinstall. Otherwise, it won't work. Luckylli enough, your stock APPs will remain intact (Default Music Player, ZiiO Space, Explorer...)
Hope you don't get this problem!
Q: The ZEN freeze at "Touch the Sound of Perfection" screen...
I would suggest you to wait for a while; I guess it's because the ZEN is getting too hot. Reset the device so it can power OFF, and wait for the ZEN to cool down a bit (Do not reload it, unless you don't have the choice to.), and try again later. Also try to connect the ZEN to USB, it'll power ON on it's own, perhaps it'll get to the Home Screen. If it still freeze, too bad: do a factory reset (that should work).
Q: Can I uninstall preinstalled System APPs (ZiiO Space, Audible, Default Browser) ?
Yes, you can! I'll show you the easiest way to do it!
If this isn't appropriated, ask me Creative, I'll remove this question.
First, you HAVE to be rooted, again!
Second: doing this can be seriously dangerous if you delete a APP that is required for the system to work, you could really kill your ZEN! Again, I take no responsability if you kill your ZEN because of this!
Okay then, download the APP SDK Stock APP Removal (Thanks to the developpers!):
http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&...vTHqe6KdBudQLg
Install it (If you have an antivirus on your ZEN, it'll detect it as dangerous. Ignore it. It's normal, since the APP allow you to delete system APPs, which can be dangerous), run it.
You can now see a list of every single APP installed on your ZEN, including the system APPs. ALWAYS make a backup of the APP when you delete one! The APP itself being extremely easy to use, no need to explain how it works, you'll understand it by yourself, for sure.
Just keep in mind, it is your responsability to verify if it's safe to remove an APP or not! Always check!
I used the APP to remove ZiiO Space, Audible and the default Browser (Without any consequences), since I never use those. Not sure if it's safe to delete the default 3D Gallery.
Mainly because I want to free up the most space as possible on my ZEN to avoid freezing issues, of course!
Q: How can I backup my APPs ?
It's quite easy to do. I've realised backing up my APPs was very important, on the ZEN Touch 2, since you never know when the device is going to freak out, when you'll have to do a reset, and that your APPs get corrupted!
You can of course use Titanium Backup, but I would recommend Smart App Protector / Pro, for his simplicity.
The main purpose of this APP, is to password/pattern-protect your APP (Which does the job perfectly well), but you can also backup (on SD Card, well, ZEN internal storage) and restore your APPs extremely easilly. No root required, here!
This APP completely saved me, when I wiped my device...
Q: What about my contacts ?
In the stock Contacts APP, there's an option to do a full backup of your contacts, on the ZEN internal memory.
If for some reason, you can't find it, download the APP Go Contacts Ex (In my opinion, the best contacts APP availible). This APP also have an option to backup and restore your contacts super easilly.
Q: In some cases, the ZEN Touch 2 isn't loud enough!
Something I would recommend is using a different music player with an equalizer. PowerAMP + PowerAMP patcher should do the job. Open the equalizer and increase the value of the first bar on the left. You'll get a small volume boost. I do use it for some tracks that have the volume REALLY low.
Q: The Agenda / Calendar does not work at all! When I start it, I get the message "You have no calendar" !
Dear calendar... It's always been a pain to set the calendar on the ZEN Touch 2, since it's not a cellphone...
2 recommendations:
First: forget it. I've tried, and seems this is possible to get this to work, but quite uneffective. First, you should download the APP Calengoo, a more than excellent calendar. It'll sync with your Google Calendar, so try using a Gmail account, to get it to work. It seems to have troble with the sync, and it doesn't work all the time.
Haven't done this in a while, this is seriously a pain. I'm using the calendar on my LG smartphone anyways. I won't be able to help that much about this issue.
Second: what you could do instead, is to download the calendar Jorte. It's a standalone agenda, so it does not requires sync to work at all. It'll work without any problem on your ZEN, you don't have to set-up anything.
However, I fairly prefer Calengoo over Jorte, way more powerful.
Q: Where's the reset hole?
Inside the micro SD slot. You can use a lockpipe (recommended) or a linguee mine (less safe).
Q: Is the battery removable?
Unfortunately, no. Unless you manage to open the ZEN in a very specific way, using a knife and a hairdryer to make the glue melt, I've read. You should probably gain access to the battery this way, but I've been completely unable to know the exact battery type (Lithium-Ion, but details), so replacing it would be a real pain. Creative couldn't help me, since they do not encourage self repair; they recommended me to purchase another device if this case happen, which I honnestly find pretty ugly.
Q: The default Android keyboard is not good enough...
The APK "Smart Keyboard Pro" is the answer.
Q: I would like to quickly turn ON WiFi, and ajust screen brightness without going in the Settings all the time.
Grab the APK "Extended Controls".
That's it, hope this guide was helpful!

I'm pretty happy with the device--everything pretty much works--but doubt my experience would have been so positive without this guide. I do have some observations as a kind of follow up.
1. I'd recommend staying with Creative's web browser. I tried a couple of alternatives. I tried Opera and Firefox. I thought they were painfully slow. I quickly abandoned them. The default browser seems good enough. That's not really what I got the zen for.
2. I bought PowerAmp. I had issues where it would work for a few days and then fail with licensing issues. Reinstalling fixed matters, then the licensing failure recurred. So I tried ProPlayer. To me, it's better. I like the way it handles folders.
3. I bought Locus Pro. It's pretty good. I like the ability to download a map so you're not tied to the internet. The GPS is slow, but it does work.
4. I did root the device with z4root. For me, the only advantage seems to be that I need to be rooted to get ClockSync to work. Being able to sync the device's clock with NTP is a really professional touch.
5. I use Go Launcher Ex (paid version). One thing to mention is that the default launcher has a Bluetooth widget which doesn't seem to survive the installation of Go Launcher Ex. I installed another Bluetooth widget I found on AndroidPit App Center. By the way, this App Center seems pretty decent, since Google Play isn't supported. (I also use the SlideME Marketplace.)
6. I like the Go Power Manager for monitoring the battery. It has a widget and power usage modes that are quite good.
7. I don't seem to be having lock up problems. (Note that I only use the default browser). I think this may be due to my being really careful about RAM usage. There are a set of things I've done in this area. First, I use StartupManager. (This is a second reason to root the device.) This keeps the things running at start up to the minimum you want. I've also installed FastReboot. I run this from time to time. But there are two other things that I really rely on. One is the Go Task Manager. This lets you monitor RAM usage and kill things to recover RAM. Another thing I use is a widget--I can't remember where it came from--that displays RAM usage on the home panel and a button in the shape of a broom, which, when tapped, recovers RAM. I think this is part of Go Task Manager.
8. It seems obligatory to have a scanner app for all the 2-D bar codes that have sprung up everywhere. I haven't seen any advice about which app is preferred. I'm using Unibet Scanner, which seems to work.
9. Because Google Play isn't supported, I've had to get some things via googling for apks. One finds these in strange quasi legal places and I worry about viruses. I'd be interested in advice regarding a virus scanner.
Thanks again for the guide. -- al
Thank you very much!
1. Maybe you want to try Dolphin Browser Mini / HD, it's pretty powerful. But if you're looking for a lighter web browser, you could give BoatBrowser Mini a shot, if you want to.
2. I've read that PowerAMP cannot activate on a non-Google phone, which I find pretty ridiculous.. I have to patch it with an illegal app, but now I get that strange noise when my music play, and the app is basically dead, unless I reinstall and loose all my settings!
7. That's the right thing to do. If you don't have much APPs installed, that shouldn't lock up.
9. Same here. I've used Lookout Antivirus before, but you wouldn't be able to uninstall it, if you're not rooted. I've then switched to Zoner Antivirus (Free). Less known, but for some reason, I've read it detected more viruses than any other free Android antivirus.
Enjoy the ZEN Touch 2.

Random freezes on Asus F3Tc

Hi!
I have random freezes of KDE 4.2 desktop with NVidia 180.29 graphics driver. The laptop is Asus F3Tc with NVidia GeForce Go 7300 video card. How can I track down what is the problem?

Touchpad detected as ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse

I have an Asus laptop (not an eee pc), and my touchpad is detected incorrectly. It thinks it is a "ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse." I have tried to use the synaptics driver by configuring /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.product" contains="ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse">
<append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">input.touchpad</append>
</match>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton2" type="string">2</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton3" type="string">3</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
but this causes the touchpad to stop working entirely. Here is the relevant section of my Xorg.0.log
(II) config/hal: Adding input device ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse

also here is the incorrect entry from /proc/bus/input/devices

B: REL=1036
Is there some way I can let my system know that this is indeed a touchpad so I can configure it properly?

I can't really gather anything useful from dmesg. Here's the possibly relevant output:
$ dmesg | grep -i input

There's nothing about synaptics anywhere.
Is there anything potentially useful here?
