Hey guys I've been looking around but cant find anyway to turn back on the hard keys. (Home,menu,back,search) I guess its also referred to as capacitive buttons. I just flashed to mazwoz beta 5 (totally sweet)using mason full kernel. And noticed the lights don't turn on under the buttons. I was using synergy ( which rocks IMO) and I know he lights work. Is there a setting I'm unaware of or a zip I could flash to get them to work? Or maybe ics is designed this way? Idk. But any help is appreciated.
Thanks

You have to play around with the brightness settings to get them to turn back on. Just move it up or down or turn auto brightness on one of those will make then light up

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to turn the softkey backlights off? The back key led died so all keys light up except for that one.

I used to use tasker to turn them off whenever they came on. You can use gscript to turn them on and off at will but it will only stay off until your screen goes off and then it will come back on again. Now my softlights just stay off no matter what
On the aosp roms there is an option to turn them off completely. If you want to join us on the dark side

Man I'm missing aospCMod on my hero. I always used that turn off back light option. I just got my evo two days ago. So there is a aosp Rom for the evo. The back light are killing me.

LEDs Hack in the market will let you do this.
Since there isn't an LED light specifically for notifications, is there a way to make the LEDs for menu, home, back, and search light up for said notifications? It would be even better if each one lit up for specific apps so I could know why it's lighting up before I even turn on the screen.
Thanks for any help!
My suggestion would be NoLED.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing, but was hoping one could take advantage of the buttons' LEDs.

The closest we can get to LED notifications is BLN. You need to use a BLN compatible kernel and use the app BLN Control.

I'm trying to tweak some things on system tuner and my phone rebooted (but took a bit to turn on) my blood pressure dropped, I thought I killed my phone!
But after some reading.. it pretty much means the phone does not like those settings, change them.. right? Phone works fine now though, but I was wondering for future reference

Yeah, basically. If you are undervolting, you need to take tiny increments to make sure the phone is stable before going any further.

Alright, hopefully I'm just being a 'tard and not looking in the right place. I took my phone from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 last night, and I have allllllmost everything set up the way that I want it. The only thing that's missing it the backlight for the four softkeys (menu/home/back/search). I want them to stay lit whenever I have the screen on. I've searched, but all the threads that I turned up were people that couldn't get them to turn off!
Can anyone point me in the right direction, or is it something I just need to get used to?
Thanks,

Its a bug, sometimes they turn on sometimes they don't. I hardly pay attention to them anymore as I've gotten used to it

happens to me off and on. Pretty common actually, not a big issue to me since at this point we should have the layout memorized

This is a known issue. They won't work when the screen comes on initially.
If you leave the screen untouched for about 5 seconds, they will come on when you touch the screen. You can also get them to come on by adjusting brightness. They will work until the screen turns off.

Not quite what I meant... I'm referring to the fact that, once they /are/ lit, if you don't touch the screen for a few seconds, they turn off. I want them to be on as long as the screen is on. You can set this to happen in the OEM TouchWiz OS, but not with CM9.

Go to System > Advanced > Sensors, then check the box beside Enable Keys Backlight

same thing with the screen brightness... it's not as bright as it is with stock rom when you dont have power saver enabled..

I think I misunderstood. I thought you wanted them to stay on when the screen is on. The directions I gave you do that on mine. What was it you want the keylights to do exactly?
Personally I think the screen brightness is actually too bright except in when out in bright daylight.

I just want to use the Nav Bar in AOKP, instead of the hardware keys. I figured out how to disable them, I just cant turn off LED. Is there a way to do it, but still let it work for notifications?
Here you are my good fellow. Hope this is what you're looking for

I'm actually already using that, I just want to disable the LEDs back lights of the keys. Its some kind of built in galaxy s tool in aokp jb!

Change the custom Backlight settings in display to have 2 settings one on all 0 and one at 100 and then put it into auto bright and lock phone till deep sleep and turn on and there you go

oh i was completely confused by your thread. But in aokp i believe you have to create a shortcut to it on your home screen. In CM10 its under advanced in the settings menu.
Sorry i cant remember, i dont use aokp.
In AOKP JB, the easiest option is to go to settings, device options, sensors, and uncheck "enable keys backlight."
It bothers me when I'm playing games on the phone and the bottom lights come up all the time. Is there an app that can turn the lights off for me?
Or is there a tasker program that will allow me to turn it off? Any help is appreciated!

If you are on cm10 then settings and device options and sensors and back light de-check the box.

Thanks! Worked perfectly. Guess I should've messed around with the settings a little harder :facepalm:
On the other hand is it possible to keep the capactive buttons on the whole time as long as the phone is on?

You mean permanent?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Yes there are settings for it that keep them on shorter or longer. My wife's relay uses this same setting to control the backlight on the slider keypad as well!
Look in DISPLAY and see if there is "touch key light duration" I have stock rom (actually wicked, based on stock) and I have 1.5 (default), 6, off, on as the 4 choices.
Yea permanent as long as the screen is on though! Thanks for replying man but I'm on CM10 that rom has a slightly different configuration.

No don't think so. Might be an app for it or mod with in the forums, maybe elesbb can jump in, he knows how to write code for such a thing I think.
