The same happend to me with quick settings widget. Fortunatelly I found an easy sollution. You have to connect your phone with PC and use adb:

adb shell “echo 255 >/sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness”

now the backlight is back and you can change the backlight brightness.

People I use by replacing in Windows folder (with Total Commander or Resco Explorer) this file AudioPara3.csv
I upload one zip with an original file AudioPara3.csv in Original folder, one AudioPara3.csv with an audio increment in folder Full Boost and another AudioPara3.csv in folder Lighter Boost.
So… you can try first per example the AudioPara3.csv in folder Full Boost and copy/replace the original in Windows folder>Soft Reset and try… the same with Lighter Boost If you don’t like the results… replace in Windows with AudioPara3.csv in Original folder of the zip I attach
Don’t forget do a Soft-Reset after copy to Windows folder… any of AudioPara3.csv

I think your right on that solid and engaging workflows are the key to successful user applications. As an example, consider this site (stackoverflow) which has an engaging and simple workflow around questions. It’s a great example. I have been thinking a lot about this as well. Let me point you to a couple resources. One is a fantastic article by Bret Victor, now of Apple. http://worrydream.com/MagicInk/. It is about software design as information design. This is a different idea than workflow but I think it boils down to the same thing, giving users meaning information graphics that they can act upon easily and answers their top questions. Read that article, it might change your perspective of software, it did mine. Second, is the concept of flow (work flow right?) that is used in game programming. Consider these core ideas from http://www.jenovachen.com/flowingames/flowtheory.htm:

We are up to the activity.

We are able to concentrate on the activity.

The activity has clear goals.

The activity has direct feedback.

We feel that we control the activity.

Our worries and concerns disappear.

Our subjective experience of time is altered.

These sound like ingredients of a great workflow to me.

Also you might read the IPhone UI docs and study Apple apps in general, they are generally the best in the world at building UIs with solid workflow.

This can be done through a Directory Junction which can redirect to a new location of offline files.
The Offline Files are stored in the folder %SystemRoot%\CSC (which usually is C:\Windows\CSC or a different drive letter in place of C). First, create a folder on a partition with large space and give it an informative name, say, D:\Offline Folders as a suggestion.
You need to delete the existing folder and create a junction in its place. For this, boot into Safe Mode as an administrator and delete the CSC contents and folder.
del /s /q %SystemRoot%\CSC should to the job.
Having created the new location folder, and deleting the existing CSC folder, now is time to create a Directory Junction for CSC folder with the following command:
mklink /J %SystemRoot%\CSC
for example: mklink /J C:\Windows\CSC “D:\Offline Files”
Now, whatever is meant for location %SystemRoot%\CSC gets directed to the new location.
I hope this helps.
Note: The quote marks in “D:\Offline Files” were required because of a space character in the folder name, otherwise not necessary.
