I too had that brightness bug once. Ten minutes later it was followed by a nasty issue i've now had happen twice. On reboot of the phone, I got stuck in a rapid bootloop with a small sprint logo. The only fix was to reflash the rom. Happened out of the blue both times. The old tricks (wiping cache/dalvik)(reflashing kernel)... none of them worked.

I have noticed issues restoring apps + data using my backup root so I tried something different on this recent flash. I restored the apps but not the data. I then rebooted into recovery and did the fix apk mismatch bit and booted. At that point I restored data on the ones i needed it back on and had no issues with them.

I can't pinpoint the brightness bug but when it happend I was in a dark car and took a call and noticed the screen at full brightness. As soon as i got off the call i checked brightness settings and auto was unchecked and at max.

One other quick question.. how easy is it to customize that IME keyboard?
