There is another way to turn the screen on/off other than the power button - HTC One X

I am not sure if anybody else noticed this or posted this somewhere else, but here I go.
I am currently running ARHD 18.4 with xm kernel. I was just wiping out some dirt out of my screen and for some reason the screen turned on. After a while of investigation, I found out that if you swipe across the navigation bar (from back button to recent app button or the other way around), you can turn screen on/off !!! I was so amused to find this because from time to time I cannot be bothered to reach up to the top to press the home button
I am not sure if you guys knew about this, but for those of you who didn't know here's your tip. Please have a shot and report back. Thanks

LOL. It's called sweep2wake.
A common feature of custom kernels.

And just to add to TT's info for you, this isn't a ROM Feature.
It is a Kernel feature !!
Alex S2W is the most well known, aswell as NCX I think has this feature.

Button lights no longer working

The lights that usually appear between the buttons on my Arc S no longer work and I can't remember when they stopped! I wonder if a mod I've installed is to blame but I don't want to wipe my phone and start from scratch if possible so am looking for some help...
I am running 4.0.2.A.0.42.
Here is what I have installed:
V6 SuperCharger
I thought this might be the culprit so I used Script Manager to stop running the script at boot, rebooted and it made no difference.
Reboot option in power menu
I am using the one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094730
Status bar widget mod
I am using the Ultra theme from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295254
That's about it.
However, one thing is odd - I seem to have an 'Automatic brightness' setting in Display options and I'm pretty sure it wasn't there when I first got the phone!
Any help is welcome.

Found it - the reboot mod was to blame.
was there any other impact other than "they just didnt light up" ?
Nope - just no lights. Seems that a few of the reboot mods available in the apps forum have the same bug.
How did you get the option to turn off/on automatic brightness? I dont have that on my phone and have same firmware as yours.

It appeared when I installed the reboot mod - but it doesn't do anything so you're not missing out! I guess the reboot mod files must of originally come from an SE device that had working automatic brightness.
oh thats too bad

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! you have successfully unlocked your bootloader :highfive:
No offense to any of you, but posting worthless comments about how this should be here, and no help included won't fix anything.
In a way, if you look at it. Look at it this way. " Custom Boot Screens " ?
Counts for theming in my eyes, although it sounds like a help thread more....
BUT ANYWAYS,
I believe Lloir went over this long ago. I think it was Lloir, but whoever it was said we needed S-OFF before we can actually remove it. Splash Screens, S-off is needed to change that. JMZ sent his device off to some place. Were all hoping for S-off from them. Not 100% we will get it though. But not much of a deal.
The only time you see that screen is booting, which is like 3 seconds on that screen, unless you have a bad rom and your stuck on that screen. Lol.
that's because you flashed and use mod kernel.
if you use stocked, then the red texts won't appear.

Turn off Proximity Sensor. Most likely in Phone Settings... Haven't been on AOSP in a minute, but it used to be an option.

Couldn't find phone settings. I checked every section of the options menu and there was nothing about proximity sensors. I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Thank.

I meant that I couldn't find it anywhere in the options xD. I'd go back to touchWiz but I always get terrible battery life. So each rom has a different drawback for me xD
