[Mod] Disable Led Lights

Hi
If you want to disable led lights in bottom of phone, you need only a Root Explorer , go here:
/sys/class/leds/button-backlight
open this file ( brightness ) in text editor and change 1 to 0 , now save the file, it should turn off your led lights.
but it effect untill your phone is on after restart it goes back to defaults.
May be you can make script to apply at boot.

Make a zip that pushes the edited file into the system, perhaps i can make it

How would you push an .apk to your system/app?

The best way to push an app to your system/app file with out bricking your phone?

Um that isn't going to brick you. Especially since you're talking about system app. Worst thing to happen would be a reboot if you touched an app which was currently running.
But I've been using root explorer and it works great. Or if the file is on my computer I use adb push. Or even a flashable zip if you really are worried.

I used a file browser app and installed it over the existing one. Every time after that I was getting an error something .goo not responding. (SecPhone.apk) Trying to restor the call recording feature. I ended up doing a restore back to square one. No if I use root-explorer will it make a difference or should I use dab push? I would not know how to begging with that. could I use terminal and instal like I would if I was using the cwmtr.img install directions. but direct it to system/app?

Which file browser app did you use? Did you remember to set the permissions for the newly copied apk? Permissions in /system/app should be rw-r--r
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

No I did not set permissions. If I use Root-Explorer will that allow me to set permissions? I used Smanager to move the file.

Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V

Can I use RootExplorer to zip file them flash it? Or just move using RE?

Yes, Root Explorer will allow you to change permissions as long as you aare rooted.

Root Explorer is a file manager, use to move the file to the appropriate folder and set permissions and reboot. I know you can create a zip & tar file, don't know if it would be flashable though.

Smanager isn't a good file system tool. Try root browser lite tap and hold functioning is perfect. Has options for copy paste and permissions

I am using Frosty JB v6. I asked in the developer thread and I got a reply http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874063&page=546
I tried using RootExplorer and I was still getting error messages after be booting. Is there a way to make it flash able? What am I doing wrong or is it just never going to work? Do I need to start looking for a rom that has it functional on the build?

Did you reset permissions to match the rest of the files in the folder?
And you probably need to wipe dalvik and cache in recovery.

Use root browser lite, you can get it from the market it's a freeware then copy the app you want to system/app ....no permission stuff needed

Please know what you're talking about first before posting suggestions. Especially when it pertains to system directory permissions. System/app directory uses rw-r--r-- as the permissions. Meaning owner has read write permissions while everyone else only has read. Not setting permissions correctly can lead to many many many issues.

There is application on the market called system application mover

I vote for a rom that has it and works where you don't need to mod stuff, yet. Learn all this stuff with something you don't need, like a sound mod (DSP) or something.

You need to have a root explorer you can use ES File Explorer just make sure you go in settings and check for it to allow you to go up too root...
Once in root directory click the data folder, it is in there.

Thought I did that. Mind instructing me?

if using root Explorer.. Top will have a box that says "Mount as R/W" Click it. Open Editor to edit the file.. Make changes. Hit Save.. Close Root explorer, reboot phone, Profit. (These steps should work to show correct carrier, if something is wrong in post please add changes) thanks for shopping.

When you change the r/w properties just check them all I dont know what I neesa to be on exactly... when you edit the file there should of been 4 instances of "freegs3" that you change. After that make sure you save and reboot it should work

Okay, so simply just replace the .apk file in the system/app directory using es file manager or something like that at setting permissions..
But how and where do I set the permission?

Hold the file u want to set and pick set permission.. that's in root explorer. Dunno bout es..
U can set permission via adb shell or terminal emulator by using chmod command. Useful when u need to change multiple files (in one folder)

What app are you using to do that? Also if you're moving something to system/apps you have to make sure you enable RW on the app

You need a root file explorer. ES File Explorer is probably the best free one.
Though it is my opinion that Solid Explorer is the best overall.

The apk says both read and write are enabled but I still can't copy it into the system/app folder.
Sent from my SGH-T999

If you use file explorer first select root explorer, then grant it root access when prompted, then select mount R/W and select system, after that you will be able to copy
