Enjoy!
*I am in no way responsible for your actions, be careful!:good:

Why would someone want to disable the charging LED? I personally use it as a visual que to make sure I plugged my phone in or to make sure it's charging correctly. Not trolling or flaming. Just wondering if there is a legit use for this mod.

I like watching movies at night and it gets really bright and annoying with the led light on.

What are you running?

To each his own. If someone doesn't like the charging LED because it is a distraction while watching videos in the dark, then this is the right place for them.
If the LED doesn't bother you. Don't post in this thread.
The only thing I would like to add about this thread is what is being changed? Can you show what files are being edited to achieve disabling the LED?

It's noted in the op, he followed TD tutorial, you can see the changes here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958653

Since this is specific to one ROM, I think this should be in that thread. Or change the title to reflect that it is AOSP based.

Your post is useless. What's the point of discussing WHY someone would want it off? Some people might find it annoying and don't really see the need for it, ergo, they want it off.
I see waaay too many posts asking "why would someone want that" in all kinds of threads. The fact that OP posted it is already a response. HE would want it. So maybe there is someone else who wants it too. We all have different preferences and annoyances, deal with it.
Thanks OP, I'll see if I can get it working on my phone although I don't even have a Samsung.

[Q] LED notification?

Does the s2 have this option? If so where do I enable it? I hate having to keep turning on the phone to see if I missed any messages or notifications... Thanks
The T-Mobile variant does not have LED notifications. Its a bummer but it is what it is.
Edit: Solution below.

I'm sure once we have root you'll be able to use the main button LED's for notifications.

how did u get the super mario theme? ^-^
Okay, I got it to work... Now when the led shows. Is there another way to go straight to the app that the led came up for? Or do I have to dismiss it first, then power on phone?
Also, is there a way from preventing the screen to turn on/off when the message or miss call comes in... I just want the led to show, no light up
how much of a battery killer is this app? just wondering haha
Notification LEDs
Are there any notification leds on this phone? I have missed a few calls and received texts, but only found out after I powered back up from standby. I have only ever had HTC phones before, and they all had notification leds...any help would be great..TIA
Not at the moment. It would be awesome if we could make the soft keys flash to notify though!

I don't really miss the LED notification that much (although i think it would be nice to have). Having a soft key flash would be REALLY cool though

I wish they'd have put the same blue LED they put in the sprint model... I like blue :/

[Q] LED Notifications

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.

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.

Flashlight???

Does anyone know of an apk that allows you to use the camera flash as a flashlight? I had one for my HTC phones, Im not sure if I can just use that one or not.
Im not rooted, running 2.3 (gingerbread)

Check out "flashlight led genius". There's an option to turn on the led from the lockscreen by shaking the phone.

I like led flashlight.. It allows you to put the phone to sleep with the flashlight on.. Torch will not.. It works good and reason why i like it is because when i wear white basketball shorts to sleep and i need to go downstairs for something at night i can put the led flashlight on, put phone to sleep and put it in my pocket and the light shows throuh the shorts lol.. Then i can carry a drink and food and see where im going!

App that turns off keyboard light

Is there an app that will turn off the keyboard lights? i know about Display > Touch Key duration. Thanks
Doubt it. Why would you want to turn off the keyboard lights?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
Waste of battery in daylight
Another really great reason to turn them off is so you can watch Netflix at night. Screenfilter works, as do Keyboard backlight controller and AdjBrightness.
You can change it's duration to the lowest settings which is 1.5 seconds in the settings.I did that and trust me it's hardly on. It's in settings - display - touch key light duration.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
At some point I was running a battery saver that did this when I dropped below a certain percentage of battery life. It might have been Easy Battery Saver. Then again, it also could have been the built in Power Saver function. Has that been tried?
Did the last two posters even read the thread? Not only did OP say he knows how to reduce the time, I just gave the names of 3 apps that can do it and people are still posting suggestions to reduce the on time.
Yeesh. No need for the hostility. My suggestion was not for reducing the light timeout, but shutting the keyboard light off completely, as was requested. I did see that you posted some apps and I was merely suggesting another app.

Take it easy....I was simply stating that at 1.5 seconds it is hardly on and does not waste much battery.

So that you can save battery and BTW our mind is good enough to remember where the touch captive keys are...
You can use Screen Filter app to do this (just set filter to 100% and unset Enable buttons backlight checkbox)

Change Touch Key Back light Brightness?

I know it is possible. But is there an app that does that? I know, well I think I used to have one. The LG worked perfect on my G2X. But anyways, please tell me if you guys know any application that does that. Thank you. Also, if you find something on Google, don't come here and start calling me a moron or anything and just help out. Please.

What makes you able to say "I know its possible" i honestly dont believe its possible because its a gpio controlled LED. Therefore the cpu only understands "on" or "off" values. Where 0 is off and anything higher than 0 is on no matter what brightness you might want.

If you're talking about "use custom levels " it doesn't work. Hence why at the very too it says "sensor value " and reads a -1 for both raw and filtered and a disabled for screen and a -1 for buttons. My assumption is that either the kernels or the cm9 software isn't completely ironed out and there are some minor tweaks needing to be fixed yet.

I'm not asking where the setting is, I'm asking if you were physically able to turn down the brightness of the touch keys? If you were, please provide a picture with the keys dimmed and not dimmed. I'm 99% sure that our hardware doesn't support it. Not to mention our kernel.
