No :-)

1) You can configure the timing in /etc/fsodeviced.conf (actually it is
in /etc/freesmartphone/conf/GTA02/fsodeviced.conf, but that is
overwritten on updates, so copy it to /etc/fsodeviced.conf). The
brightness levels are configured in /etc/phonefsod.conf

2) fsodeviced was buggy in that it did not save the timing changes. That
was fixed by mickey and changes through shr-settings should be
persistent on a new shr-U (not shr-T yet though). If that does not work,
it is a bug.

AFAIK, it does. It dims on the first "idle" step and dims further on
"idle_dim", I think.

Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
