    Disable Backlighting......Maybe Permanently

    Is there a way to permanently disable backlighting? I don't like the backlighting and I never use it at all. Some roms I have tried, but found myself unable to stay on them as the unchecking "enable backlighting" feature didn't seem to work. On Sammy roms disabling works just fine...

    Modify Factory Ringtones and Notifications

    Is there a way to modify the ringtones and notifications files to increase volume? Whether it be via computer or on the phone itself? I have the ones that I always like to use, however, a lot of the time I don't hear them if I am in a busy/noisy area. Thanks lotsip81
