Display/automatic back light/edit other levels.....make sure "buttons" isn't set on 0. If so, stock is 256...save and apply. Make sure after doing this you are set to automatic brightness.
If this doesn't work there is a good chance the hardware itself is damaged

I installed cm9 after using cm7 and cant get the four buttons on the phone to light up. They are accessible but not illuminated. has anyone else encountered this problem.
Also I was wondering if the Cm7 uses more battery than cm9
You have to use auto brightness.
cm9 illumination
If you mean display auto brightness ok but when I'm outside I can't see the screen...guess ibhave to toggle back and forth. I had switched back to cm7. In your opinion is 9 worth changing to. It seems like in 7 everything is working pretty well.
Thank you for the reply

Toggling auto brightness on and off solves it. Just tinker with it..

Ive been using the dinc2 since last July and I got used to the buttons to the point that I noticed they didn't light up, but until I saw this post, I never considered it a "problem". Since I knew where they were and didn't need to see them to use them. If they ever do "fix" this issue I hope they allow for a settings option to keep them turned off. I actually enjoy them off, in my mind its just one more security feature. I know when my wife tries to use my phone she needs to see them, and since recently rooting to CM9 I don't want her bricking my phone. Because of the unlit buttons she has stopped using my phone (she uses some cheap AT&T phone, refuses to switch to Verizon). Just throwing my opinion in the mix. Thanks for the post as well I wasn't sure it was intentional or not.

I believe in the advanced brightness settings under CMSettings you can do just that. Whenever I run a CM rom, I always go to the brightness settings under edit Other Levels and set all the softkey values on the far right column to 255 so they're always the same brightness and look nice. I like the sheen they have, but I can only see it when they're close to full brightness.
If you did the opposite, set all the values to 0 and then click Save and Apply Values at the top of that screen, they should, theoretically, never turn on.
Thank you ....as I am new to a rooted phone and this forum I didn't know those adjustments were available...learn something new everyday ......
Does cm9 drain the battery alot quicker or is it unnoticeable

Unfortunately, I can't answer that question for you, as my phone doesn't like our ICS builds. Until we get a leaked official kernel and some source, I'm SOL.

Where exactly are these settings? Running CM7 with the same problem as the OP and can't find it anywhere. Edit: found the settings and putting them all at 255 didn't do anything. Any other ideas?
Not sure if you guys have seen it but the Illumination Bar app by rundgong can be used to keep the softkey touchpad lights always on if the screen is on. So basically the lines under the touchpad symbols will always be lit if your screen is on which makes it much easier to hit the right symbol in the dark.
Can also use it to have those lights act as another notification light for various apps like sms, email, missed calls and more. Check it out.

after flashing to ics I'm having issues with it...so I uninstalled it.
the app asks you to enable it in accessibility, after doing so...on browser (dolphin) "talk back" likes to read everything aloud and I don't have it enabled. As soon as I disable Illumination Bar Notification in accessibility the problem goes away. it seems enabling in accessibility doesn't make a difference.
Next issue, recently the led lights don't want to turn off... its seriously drained my battery and on charger it heats up to 106F
Anybody else having issues?

You don't have to turn on notifications. I only use it too keep buttons lit while screen is on.

If you 're talking about the led its supposed to flash for notifications. If you're talking about navigation buttons they're probably flashing because you have notifications turned on. Turn that feature off. I just use the app for keeping them on when screen is on.

So.... Why does this need permission to read my sms/mms content? or my contact data?
Guregnack said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Because this app is also used for notifications for SMS/MMS. So in order for it to know when to flash for said incoming SMS/MMS, it has to be able to read them. (Not read their contents...Just read that one has been received.)
Uhhhh.... from my understanding, the receive function is for knowing if there is a mms or sms.
Reading allows the content to be "read".
Right?

The apk needs your permission so that it can gather all of the data inside your phone and send it to Google.
Google owns you, but they need permission first.

Off topic, but Battle.net will give you back your stuff. And if you don't have one, spend the few dollars for the authenticator... Or if you don't wanna spend the money, get the one for your phone from the PlayStore.
(If you replace your Rom, REMOVE the authenticator from your Battle.net account. After you are done all your flashing and mods, then put it back. I learned that the hard way)

I just got my S II a few days ago and I flashed CM9. I've noticed the soft key back light is messed up and won't turn on after I get a notification, I read a post where someone suggested an app but that didn't work for me. Does anyone else have a suggestion? Is there a similar problem with other AOSP roms? Thanks

I am running Cm9 stable and I haven't had any issues, make sure its enabled in settings/display and play around a bit with the settings. Otherwise I would recommend a reflash. That is all I can really think of.

Its actually pretty much a common issue. With both CM10 and CM9, i had only heard of it being perfect on AOKP ICS. I too had this, i ended up disabling BLN due to a wake lock drastically draining the battery. I miss the old static BLN cause that didnt use a wake lock. It just woke it once to allow them to come on then went back to deep sleep.

Well I installed AOKP ICS, and it works like a charm with the exception that it still doesn't really work with BLN but I didn't realty care much for that.

Is there a fix for this yet? Is this fault present in the 3.0 kernel version?

Ah that's why it doesn't work. I managed to get the brightness toggle to show an 'A' all the time and assumed that auto brightness was stuck on. I then searched the forum and found threads about this happening with other devices and took it that this was a common problem with CM10.
Thanks for the help.

Our wonder doesn't support auto brightness that's is why you got stuck on it.
to fix it you need enable the brightness control under/above the toggles and un-tick the auto brightness.
next time remove that option so that you won't get stuck

I had the autobrightness problem too. *somehow* it became activated, and I couldn't find a way to DEactivate it. I tried every single "settings" option I could think of, and nothing worked.
I asked a similar question to you (on this forum) and eventually I got an answer that said if I installed an app that controlled brightness then I could disable auto....it was suggested that I try "widgetsoid" or "battery doctor".....both (as it turns out) do what I wanted.
Why was I so bothered about autobrightness?
With it enabled I couldn't swipe left or right across the top of the screen to manually adjust brightness, with auto disabled I could.....
