OK, the opposite of whats been requested before, did you use my mod or the simple fix i stumbled on later in the progress?

But i have not looked into the keypad much

what did you do then?, did you just remove the ALS from mce?
did you use the sed command or did you use my custom brightness?

i did what you say in the frist post i remove the custom brightness and reboot then x terminal then the command to disable ALS

so you have been using my custom brightness, well this changes things.

Look in you etc/mce/mce.ini if you have not made any changes and want the simple brightness (no als) then the Modules should look like this:

if you are missing the filter-brightness-simple, then add it in there, my old custom brightness worked with the filter-brightness-(als or simple) removed, so this is probably what you are missing now.

i just edit mce.ini and everything is there so i think is something else and i try to enable the ALS now it not working and brightness is so low almost can't see nothing on the display

This sounds very weird, if the filter-brightness-als or simple is in Modules and you have restarted your N900 or killall mce then it should work as normal, look at mce again, remember it has to be small letters and so on, the code i submitted if from my mce.ini

I use LED pattern editor to change the led power.

And yes the LED gets VERY bright and ignoring, get a text in the middle of the night and it looks like the police are flashing the blue lights in the bedroom :p

i use:
Set PWM - Level = 20
Wait - 484,38ms
Set PWM - Level = 0
Wait - 484,38ms
Go To Start

This is not very bright here.

Nope, mine does not do that, i just does the "standard" low light and then "fade" to set brightness, has not changed since i installed LED pattern editor

UPDATE:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just made a catastrophic discovery when trying to find some way of turning the keyboard light off / on.

instead of installing this mod, you can apparently just edit mce.ini and change 'filter-brightness-als' to filter-brightness-simple' under modules=
this enables a simple brightness system, where the light sensor is not in effect and the 5 steps (SYSTEM steps) are spaced good between each other, the values are 51, 102, 153, 204, 255.
So if you really want to get rid of light sensor & get nice colors with the 153 & 204 (step 3 & 4) this is the easiest way to go.


Install steps (will also be added to post #2)
Remember to uninstall custom brightness mod!!!
Terminal:
root or gainroot
sed -ie 's/brightness-als/brightness-simple/' /etc/mce/mce.ini
or you can just edit mce.ini, the sed command just changes this as you would manually by editing the mce.ini

after this restart your N900

This has been one of those massive FACE PALM moments or in other words D'oh!
