2 of 4 capacitive buttons have no backlight. - Defy General

My defy's capacitive buttons works fine. But 2 of them simply doesn't have a backlight.
I tried to change my rom (From MIUI to WakjUI) with no sucess. I guess the lights are somehow broken... But that's "fine", not big deal.
Deal is... They are ugly the way they are ordered. Only the Menu and the search buttons have backlight. The home and back buttons don't. I tried to use RootDim to disable all button's backlight, but whenever I lock the screen, their backlightlight just get back to normal.
Any sugestions? Any alternative would be accepted, and i really like the idea of dimming those backlights.

Get the Hardware Keys to light up

Is there a way to get the hardware keys to light up with the backlight? Sometimes I find it hard to find the buttons in the dark (especially the start button). It would be good if when the backlight came on, the hardware keys also lit up.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
There is a light sensor on the left hand side of the keyboard. I put my finger over it and push a key and then it thinks its dark and turns on keyboard. It will stay on until it times out but will stay on as long as you are typing. You can also set the timeout level for keyboard

I'd like to know how that is done. Running WM6.5 official HTC Rom.
The change in the registry I tried, didn't help, was for WM6.1.
Can you tell how to do it or post a link, maybe? Thanks!

[Q] [REQ] Completely disable capacitive buttons

Okay, so I've successfully managed to disable my capacitive buttons on my Note 2, using this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34247225) tutorial right here. No problems there, but it seems that they are not completely disabled.
After I disabled the capacitive buttons, I have noticed that the area where the capacitive buttons are still function! Let me explain. The capacitive buttons does not do anything, but seems to have a functional capacitivity (correct word?). Example: When I'm watching a video on the youtube app and I touch the disabled capacitive buttons, they seem to wake up the phone as if I was tapping on the screen. Also in certain apps, they seem to actually function as if I was touching somewhere on the screen. In the game "Nemo's Reef" (don't ask), when I'm touching the disabled capacitive buttons it takes me to the menu in the game and does several other things like clicking in the menu, going back, moving the screen etc.
It's not a big problem, but it is annoying and do show that the capacitive buttons are not completely disabled - as promised in the tutorial. The capacitive buttons are disabled, but the capacitive area is still functional, and (in some apps) seem to act as if I were tapping certain areas on the screen.
My question: Is there a way to completely disable the capacitive area where the capacitive buttons are?
I hope this was interesting, and it would be a pleasure if somebody could look into this and/or give me an answer.

Question on capacitive buttons

Has anyone had a problem with the capacitive buttons not lighting up? The back button (on the right) does not light up at all anymore, and the recents button on the left only comes on if I am scrolling on the screen. Both buttons work, just not always lighting up
I'm on my second Note 4 and neither one have I had any issue with them lighting up.
Not sure if this will fix or help, but in settings->display the option "touch key light duration" will allow you to choose how the capacitive buttons light up. Maybe check that setting out and see if you can get anything to change in your situation. Good luck!

Backlight/illumination of capacitive back and app switch buttons

I got an Galaxy A5 2017, and it seems like a great device so far. However, I am confused by the back and task switch buttons being switched as compared to my Z1C I used before. This is compounded by the backlight of these buttons being off most of the time - so you have to use them blindly - activating only (very briefly) when pressing/tapping them. Is there a way to have the capacitive buttons' backlight switch on when the screen is unlocked?
Cheers!
There are some apps that can do this. I use "Button Light and Touch" to keep the lights off, but it can also keep them on.
search in google play : galaxy button lights 2 , use and be happy!
If you are confused you can use Buttons remapper from Play store to switch the back and recents.
Tried this one first, set for "always on" and like the effect so far. Thanks to all.

Amoled

I love the FP gestures but i hate pressing the home button to go to home and also hate to hold the button to got to recent menu.. So finally i have decided to use on screen nav buttons... Is there any harm in using on screen buttons considering its amoled screen?
I don't know what you mean by problem but they will be similar as touching other parts of the screen and won't cause any damage to the screen.

By problem i mean burn in
Yes. Burning nav buttons on screen is a real problem. I use my phone a lot: not so high brightness (something between 20-50%, changing manually), SOT around 12-14h and now I'm going completely opposite way: trying get used to nav keys shortcuts. The reason is, that on my screen I can see burned navigation bar.... But I think it in general depends of your phone usage. By my experience: I don't recommend you using on screen navigation buttons if you planning to use phone a lot.
Well there is an option to hide soft keys in the settings. They will only turn up if you swipe up the screen.
