[Gingerbread]{file}Button Back-Lights like they used to be

Unrar attachment, then copy or push this file in /system/lib/hw and overwrite or rename previous. Reboot.
Button back-lights will function again as they supposed to and did in Froyo.
The hard keys will go on using the Tab and go off after 4 seconds.
Update: Working on stock gingerbread/kernel 2.3.3 (Chainfire CF and Dip7 kernel), Overcome 2.0.0 and Koxudaxis kernel (up till 3.0.8c)
Update: (15-6-11) Patch doesn't work for Overcome 2.0.1. Hermes nor CM7 is supported.
!Auto-dim, when battery is under 10% can be overruled by toggling auto-brightness on/off in notification bar!

doesn't work for my cm7;

Tested it on stockrom gingerbread, don't know about cm7. Should work on Overcome though.

Installed on stock Gingerbread, working perfect.
Thanks a ton, that is much better! I can't imagine why they changed it in the first place.

They probably changed it because many (most?) of us prefer the lights to be on with the screen! Still now we have the option.

why on earth would anyone want the 4 key lights on while watching a video?

Thanks! The button back lights have been driving me nuts when I am reading on my Tab. Works on Overcome 2 Gold.

Just use connect bot, remount the system and copy the file over.

Or put the .os file on your sd card and use root explorer to move file to where its needed...
Like Root Explorer, you can change the permissions from R/O to R/W...

Very good. Thanks

Thank you very much for this....have been expecting somebody to bring this out....

Thanks!
Just what I've been looking for. I can confirm it works on my tab running Overcome Gold as well. You my friend, rule.

anyone know why the lights stay on in netflix even with this patch?

Hmm, I wonder why would anyone want to do that (turn off the buttons lights)? It used to piss me off royally when I was using my Tab in the dark and I couldn't see the damned touch buttons because they switchd off after 3 seconds.

Í had the same probleme, but after a few months of use, I know exactly where the buttons are now. So keeping them off while watching a movie is better.

Works great on Overcome 2

How to flash custom ROM - please help!

Hi all,
I want to flash a custom ROM on my Captivate Glide, but I can not find any step-by-step instructions for that.
For example, the INC3PTION ROM Installation guide says:
3: Boot into CWM - HOW? Is this "Rom manager" by ClockworkMod or something else?
Thanks!

U first need odin and the cwm md5 tar.. open odin put in the pda slot and make sure auto reboot is only checked... start and let it run. Then u should have cwm... make a back up b4 u flash any rom and ur good to go... anymore questions just ask

Thanks SO much for your responses, very useful!
Does anyone know if it is possible to get the menu buttons on the Captivate Glide to behave like notification LEDs? I know this hack is available for other phones, so just wondering if anyone has this working on our model?
Cheers!

u can always use the thanks button as well to

Notification
Me 3!
I was also annoyed at the lack of a notification LED.
There are some apps in the market that ring/vib every few minutes if you have an unread msg/email/missed call etc.
If you have the Tasker app, there is a profile called Notification Reminder on the Tasker Wiki that does this.
Good luck all!

I use NoLED from the Google store.
It uses the screen not the menu buttons, is very configurable and works pretty well.
The screen is kept mostly black to reduce battery drain.

Would you ever need anything extra to do that? Just flash it and thats it?

Is there a way to disable the home buttom ?

I'll be doing something and then my hand slides over it and ****s up everything. Just to be clear I mean the home button on the device itself. Not on ics. Thanks in advance!

[Q] I have a few questions about my new Optimus G Pro

I recently upgraded to the LG Optimus G Pro and I love it and all, but while I'm at work when I get messages, my phone does all sorts of crazy things in my pocket because the screen comes on. I was wondering if there was a setting that I was looking over that would stop it from doing that? I'm trying not to root it because I know the bare minimum about rooting phones, but I did root my Galaxy s2 Skyrocket with youtube tutorials.

What things is it doing? I have the flip case and that keeps it from coming on and such. I think there is a pocket mode in the setting(I could be wrong about this though) check in display section or even under notifications.

Or go into the offending app that's causing you trouble and turn notifications off.

I think there are a few others who have complained about this as well. I don't have a texting plan (I use Google Voice), so I haven't ever experienced this. However, if there aren't any options in the phone settings, there may be another way.
I seem to be on this Tasker kick lately, so when someone has a problem that is related to the phone sensors or events, I tend to think "how can I fix this with Tasker?!" . As a result, I have made an app really quick using Tasker and have even included the project XML if you want to fiddle with it on your own. It does NOT require root. However, it will need you to install another free app called "Secure Settings" and give it administrator rights in your phone settings. All that the app does is wait for an incoming message and checks to see if the proximity sensor detects something in front of it. If it does, it turns the screen off. However, like I said, I don't have a texting plan, so I haven't had a chance to really test it. The app interface is just an "ON/OFF" button and a "Close" button. If it doesn't work, just turn it off or uninstall it. It is set to "OFF" when it is first installed.
Alternatively, you can play around with it if you get Tasker. I think there is still a trial period you can get if you aren't sure if you want to buy it. Let me know if it works or if you have any other questions.
I named the xml file as a .zip just to upload to xda. Just rename the file without the ".zip" at the end and then you can edit and/or import to Tasker.

This is easily fixed, just change the lockscreen to anything other than swipe and the phone will no longer accidentally become unlocked in your pocket

Had the same issue. Do a search for it. Lots of threads. Maybe try Magiclocker or Widgetlocker instead of the LG home screen.

Use pin lock. Solved for me.

Okay I just realised that there is an emergency call button on the screen when you have either pin, password or pattern unlock set. If you just have swipe, there is no emergency call button. Maybe this will help?

Sooo my g pro comes this saturday and i was wondering if there were any tips or tricks you guys had?

Lockscreen camera widget stock m8?

Excuse me if this is a stupid question but I'm just used to be able to access the camera from the lockscreen. And now I can't find a way to do it. I'm keeping the phone stock for the first three months. So if the only way to do it is to install root access or a custom rom I'm not interested right now.

The easiest way is turning the phone on its side and press the volume button

Thanks for the quick reply! That works great when you're using HTC BlinkFeed, of course i forget to mention that i use Nova Launcher. So if I want to use another launcher I guess I'm back to square one again.

I swear that I tried this before posting. But just now when I was trying it out it works launch the camera app with the volume up in button in landscape mode when I'm using nova launcher. That it I guess, problem solved.
