[Q] Any way to permanently disable/turn OFF the H,M,B,S capacitive lights??

I would LOVE to permanently disable the lights of the capacitive buttons. I hate the lights behind the Home, Menu, Back, Search buttons and would like to permanently disable them.
Please and thank you!

you can have my EVO; the lights don't work anymore ...

cm has the option for that, also a market app called leds hack can do it on on sense roms

I'm the opposite, I wish mine were on whenever my screen was.

How did you do this? You can change the color of the buttons? I'm on the "Light sersor levels screen" in CM6.1.2 but different values don't do much. 0 under "buttons" turns them off like xjackofall said, but a different color would be nice.

Sounds like a hardware thing.
I wonder if he did the led's at the top too?
That'd be cool....
I've ruined two evo's trying to get it to wirelessly charge

Thank you!

That application in the market just kept asking for permission via superuser. If I act fast i can sneak into the program and disable the lower leds but it's always asking permissions.
Any fix?

I want to use a sense rom but I don't know how to disable the lights on them but on cm7 I just go in the settings and turn them off. Aosp is the best since I have light leakage under the buttons

i can click yes over and over, it continues to pop up and request permission. the led off an led on are in the background. if im fast i can click it but it always pops up asking permissions. im not getting it

No LED app Alternative?

Apologize if this already exists.
would it be possible for one of the talented developers in our forum to add an option to have the four buttons (menu, home, back, search) blink to notify of a new message, email, missed call, etc? or maybe be able to choose a button for a particular event, like menu button flashes for new emails, home button flashes for missed calls, etc.

Try noled from the market.

thanks for the replies. yeah, i am using noled as well and it works well. i was just thinking being able to have the backlight of the buttons flash as a notification instead of the screen would use less battery. does noled have that option and i am missing it?

BLN (back light notification) is an app that allows the 4 capacitive buttons on our phone or any other Android device to blink as a notification whenever you receive a message, missed call, voicemail etc. You can download the app from the Android market but for now it will be useless to us because we do not have a kernel to support this feature. You must first be rooted and then flash a custom kernel that has BLN enabled in order to use the app/function. I believe that a custom kernel is in the works since all Galaxy S phones had custom kernels to support this feature. Even the Nexus S (which isn't Galaxy S) supported this feature once a custom kernel was installed. For now I recommend downloading and using NO LED (can be found in the MARKET) in the meanwhile.

I keep my haptic feedback set very low. Missed message flasher seems to vibrate at the same intensity as haptic feedback so it's nearly useless. Does this happen to yours or am I doing something wrong?

Uninstall app, then reinstall! then when done go to widgets and put the noled widget on screen, then delete widget. also u can go into menu and turn it on in settings and it also has a test feature also. Plus the dev is very helpful, if u have problem look him up on xda.

EK02 Bug Thread

Well no one has made one yet, so I'll do the honors.
I have seen a decrease is signal strength, but I have noticed better data speeds. I never had the LoS issue before, so I can't tell if this fixed it or not.
Source for EK02 still hasn't been released yet...
Also just a heads up Sprint updated Swype to the latest version in this update as well.

Sound bug is still there. I can't comment on LOS until I am running the new radio (currently on EG31).

What is the "Sound Bug?" And I also noticed that Samsung added arrows to the lockscreen.

Bug where some games and most emulators will randomly crash, usually within minutes.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17623
This only seems to be an issue with the ET4g. Besides that I haven't noticed any other issues.

Can someone please test the headset control for music?

I was wondering the same thing until someone posted a link yesterday. Is it isolated to games because I thought the sound bug was how loud it got from 1 step below max to full volume. Lol

No. I tried with the Samsung (stock) music app and the Google Music app. No luck. Screen is turned on if off, but nothing is changed.
ATM, the headphone button doesn't have any control over music.

I don't have an option to set the lock period. I'm on the stock ROM and unrooted.
The EK02 update has seemed to fix the touchscreen acting crazy while charging, but I'm not entirely sure about it.

this is NOT a bug, but do not want to start a new thread.

[Q] how do you turn off music volume warning?

Hey does any of you guys know how do I turn off the warning when I turn the volume up? It's getting quite annoying.. thanks in advance.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

The volume warring is a horrible feature, I'm trying to think of why it needs to popup every time. This must have been included for liability reasons.
My problem is that my headphones don't exactly sit close to ear with my helmet on, so they're too quite. Then I can't always grab my phone and close out the warning while I'm riding.
The only solution I've found for this problem is to install a different rom, I am using ReVolt right now. You can disable the warning in the sound settings.

I also would like to know. I want to disable the toast after setting an app as default as well. It's super annoying.

Never mind just saw it now. Its a little Toast message. On other device its an entire pop up window. I am now going to find where its generated and kill it should be done in a little bit

This one's done. WOrking on the toast volume thing.

If you're rooted, you can try Xposed Framework. It's the best. Not only can you remove the warning, there is so much more to customize.

I don't think that will work. T-Mobile uses a toast instead of the normal window. So im not sure if that will work. Can give it a shot. I almost have it removed though.

Here you go guys. no more toast when you turn up volume. No more window when you select a default app.

Bleh, TouchJiz is affecting the volume steps mod. Go listen to music, and start the volume at low, and slowly increment the volume up to max one step at a time. It will get louder then go back to really quite, and then get louder again

If it's the same hardware then it should work. If it doesn't work it will just not boot. To fix that just flash your ROM or restore the original framework.jar file.

The reason why I want the built in is because the apps either put an icon on the screen or u have to use a shake movement for it which makes it bad since I'm always moving and the damn phone start taking screenshots if I find one that I could just merge it into the power menu or the screenshot combination buttons then yes it works For me

I honestly can't see a difference from the screenshots I take with the built in feature and the original screen. They look the same when viewed on my phone unless I send them thru the messaging app which compresses them.

See thats easy to fix. Dude in most apps give you the option to turn it off any other ways to do it. And when I try to take a screenshot with power menu it would hit pause on games and bring me to a menu. Unlike using an app where it doesnt have that issue.

an app will not embed it to the power menu thats done within the ROM itself ask the Rom Dev to bake it in.
But an app like screenshot by Kastor Soft with the nexus icon for the app is really good.
