The notification LED on the Evo is usually hard to see unless you stand over your phone. Is there an app that would blink the capacitive buttons for notifications?
Or better yet would be this feature built into CM6.
I've searched and couldn't find anything like this for the Evo.
great idea, but i don't know if its possible. even better would be to possibly cycle them as well like 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

Well I did some more digging and found an app called Keylights! I don't believe it's Evo specific but I tested it and it works perfect. Settings can be adjusted, blink frequency, length of time which buttons are lit etc.

WOW! Last I heard this wasn't possible, but this app works great! Great find man
$1m reward for information leading to turning off the lights in the home/menu/back/search buttons. They waste power and more important when I read at night with low light red render, the bright button lights are blinding.
Hmm. It depends in the rom you are using.
If it is a cyanogen kind rom you simply change the settings.
Kind regards Holger.

SUPERB!!!!
For so long I have been wondering could I switch off the softkey lights while watching media. It's a waste of battery and not needed.
Watching a TV show with 3 bright lights lit up on the phone. argh... I use this app now to keep brightness for screen at 100% but just to turn off annoying button lights while watching movie etc.
Nice.
Thanks Artukas

This community has already greatly contributed to Whitehawkx and I. In return we'd like to offer you the same.
We have LOTS of ideas for the ROM we are working on and are implementing all of them as time permits. In the 24-48 hours him and I have had this phone we've already made a huge amount of progress.
So, be realistic, be creative, and tell us what you'd like to see in a custom ROM.
Small preview of what's been accomplished so far (more under the hood ):
CM 7 and MIUI!!!!

Do some ics porting!
Notification menu like on WeaponG2X. That was one of my favorite implementation of that rom.
Hercules, Hercules!!
I do agree with the guys above me with having CM7 or MIUI, but I would also like the running apps carousel like the one from ics. I think that's what it's called. I have to double check on that. I know when you long press the home button, you get to see most recent apps, but I sure do like the look of the app carousel from ics. That'd be nice to have but I'm still looking forward to yours and WhiteHawkx's roms either way.

I guess I should have clarified. This will be based off Samsung software/firmware.
We won't be "porting" a ROM or working on CM7 for this phone. We will be extending the functionality/feature base of the Sammy ROM. It only makes sense to do it like this. You get the best combination of speed, stability, and features.

Gesture controls you can disable from Settings menu, no?
Swap support like RAM swap? Why? There a ridiculous amount of RAM on this phone.
After all the great experiences with your guys work on the Vibrant Im excited to see what you bring here.
I would like the see the usual stuff. Multiple lockscreens, improved battery life, smoothed out UI, NO BATTERY PERCENTAGE IN THE BATTERY please or at least an option to turn it off. Voodoo color( I know that isnt on your end but I still want it.) A theme engine like in cm7 would be cool to.

I had a mod for the nexus s that disabled the keys, I could adapt it to this phone probably. Using cm9 i'm guessing?
No, actually I'm using AOKP, does that change the difficulty in adapting it?
NVM I looked at your mod and adapted it myself, no flash zip necessary. For anyone else who wants to know you delete the text in /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl and then save changes in a root explorer app.
Is there any trick to turning the lights off on cm9?

Yeah I don't want to completely disable the keys themselves, I just want to turn the annoying, battery-wasting backlight off. The CM9 setting to do so does not work.

Push it there and reboot
Some ICS roms like codename have a "lights.sph-d710.so" file so push the the lights.exynos4.so and delete the d710 one then reboot (if that's the case).

That's why I said make sure you add the lights.exynos4.so after you delete the d710 file and then reboot.
Don't forget to set permissions before your reboot.
Why would you ever want on screen buttons instead. Phone screens are small as is, and youre choosing to use a portion of it to be dedicated to buttons you already have? Not to mention theyre not as responsive as capacitive buttons and theyre bound to get in the way sooo much more. I think its the worst part of ics, and Ill be dissapointed if the s3 ships without capacitive buttons, even if it does make ot look cooler. And the removal of search and menu is downright retarded
The .so file does indeed work. Thanks so much for the workaround.
Also on the general subject I would much prefer fewer buttons on my mobile device. My HP laptop has capacitive buttons and they are the cause of many headaches. Even the menu button on my E4GT sporadically activates on its own from time to time. Google did it right with ICS and the Galaxy Nexus. The keys are there only when you need them and auto-hide when you don't meaning the screen real-estate is not as much of an issue as one might think.

If they dissapear its rare. And that portion of the screen is blacked out anyways. Ive never had an issue with my capacitive buttons.

I am trying to do it because my hardware buttons randomly press themselves making the phone difficult to use. I get where you are coming from though.
I'm searching around trying to fix my phantom search button issue but don't want to flash a different rom or start a new thread... I'm rooted with framaroot (great system, so easy to do), have busy box, root browser- virgin mobile S2 SPH-D710, same as the Epic 4G touch. I found a thread in another forum talking about editing the button to simply no longer have a task, but in regards to the menu button and not the search button which is the one that is giving me the phantom issue. Thread is here:
http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...th-ics-jb-phantom-menu-keypress-easy-fix.html
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203059
Anyone know how to go about deleting the functionality of the search button?
I want to take this approach as it seems the only way short of a new/referb or hunting down a custom rom where the software somehow fixes the issue via programming. I did have virgin send me a referb and it had the same issue lol, so working on fixing it the xda way haha. For those with the same issue and wondering what is causing it, IMO the best explanation I found was from another forum, it seems to be hardware, where a screen replacement or capacitor addition is the fix because some S2s had bad quality control and a magnetic shield was not installed correctly and when the cell antenna is in a low reception area, it increases power and that causes an inductive voltage situation or some other power issue and makes the handset think the menu or search button is pressed. I found some who feel that even though it's a hardware issue, of course the software could be set to prevent the cell antenna from 'juicing up' in low reception areas.
Hi there,
is there a way to use the Menu and Back button on the bottom of the phone as a notification LED? Just let it blink if there is a notification in the system?
Greetings
Christian
I have tried several apps (BBS Notifications, ButtonLED) to accomplish this, unfortunately without any success.
The BBS Notification was able to control the button lights, however when the screen is off the lights do not work. Some phones do not allow the lights to go on, when the screen is off and as it seems S4 Mini is one of them. I also hope someone will find a solution for this, preferably one that will not cause too much battery drain.
Another option might be BLN mod. However, I read that the BLN modification in kernel might cause battery drain exactly because of the necessary changes in power management in order to allow the button light to work when the screen is off (the BLN mod for Mini does not exist yet as far as I know).

hello
I think the BLN kernel solution is better than any noLED app or other.
So I am very interested in a BLN supporting kernel.
Were can a user as me ask for this or can see the progress in building such a BLN-supporting kernel?
Thanks
Tom
You can try noled it uses your screen led for notification but drains battery
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
As I wrote I this the BLN is much more better.
If you look at night on your superAMOLED screen while a noLED sign is there, the whole screen is lighter.
As far as I see this app (noLED) is not able to let our wonderful AMOLED screen totaly black but gives a little light on the whole screen.
So: were can a "new" user as me, with 2 years CM experiance at his Galasy S I can ask developers to create a BLN supportet kernel?
I dont want to post it in the wrong place here in XDAdev.
thanks !
Tom
