How can you disable the light sensors? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I think there called proximity sensors or the home, menu, search and back keys.. Anyways I got the pacman rom and i want to use the pie controls as my home buttons instead of the actual sensors.. How can you disable it if possible? Running to pacman 4.2.2 with cerux kernel

There is a mod in the themes and apps section that has a mod called disable soft keys which is a flash able zip. Just flash it and put electrical tape over the soft keys so they don't look ugly

The proximity sensor is at the top of the phone used to decide when to turn the screen off when the phone get into proximity of your face.
Light sensor is also at the top of the phone and is used to adjust the screen brightness based on how light or dark it is around you.
The four buttons along the bottom are not sensors exactly. They are simply soft keys. There is a flash able mod to disable them. Search in the PAC man ROM thread I'm sure others have asked the same question.

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."

Hardware and software buttons?

Sorry if this has been mentioned but is it possible for me to completely disable my hardware buttons and enable software buttons?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
I know you can enable software buttons with a line in build.prop....always forget it though. To disable the hardware buttons I am not so sure. I would guess maybe a kernel woukd need to be made with the hardware buttons disabled.

I'm still hoping that someone figures out a way so that when s pen is removed the nav buttons show up so that you can actually use nav buttons with the spen since Samsung made a complete fail by not having a way for the Spen to use the captive buttons. I don't want to have the nav buttons on the screen all the time, just when the spen is removed.
thanks alot i see that adding the softkeys mess up the camera but i dont use the camera much i just hope it doesnt mess with other apps and disabling hardware keys screw up the power button. im going to experiment on my days off
So that works forme however on main screen the apps on the bottom a d widgets are cut off by the very bottom apps... anyone else experience this

[Q] Is it possible to turn off capacitive button lights? [Solved]

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!
Running CM10.0 Stable on my galaxy s3
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.

[Q] Lock and unlock screen without power button by using three induction button

Hi all,
I am using CM-KangBang V3.0 for my one V. I like this rom on this rom. And on this rom i can slide 3 or 2 induction button to lock, unlock screen. But i don't know how this feature called. I tried orther rom, but with them, i can't do that. Can someone tell me how this feature called? Is there a app with this feature. Thanks!
It is a feature of the kernel,its called sweep2wake.there are plenty of apps that can lock/unlock the phone without using the power button. eg,smart screen on which unlocks/ locks with a sweep over the proximity sensor.

How to brighten up Gee based ROM Capacitive lights?

I have a question for you all, and I am sorry if it has been asked before.
I have noticed that while on a Gee based rom, the capacitive lights are very dim in comparison to, let's say a Stock Rom or a Ls970 based ROM.
I would only assume this is because Gee ROMs are based off Mako/Nexus 4, and the Nexus 4 doesn't have capacitive keys.
My question was just if it was possible to brighten up the keys so they are not so dim. In some sunlight and lights inside, they are not as visible as they would be on a stock/ Ls970 ROM.
Thank you for your time.

Try the capacitive buttons app that I think you used on the AOSP that didn't have any lights at all. When I was messing around with that app it had a brightness setting that it wouldn't use but I think that was because of the ROM.

I did try that app on full brightness, but it would only go as bright as normal gee ROMs would go. Where did you find the setting to make sure I am doing it right?

I believe it was in settings of the app. I don't remember at the moment but if you see options for brightness that has to be it. It is unfortunate that it doesn't work like that.
I will look at the key layout settings (file in rom system) and see if there is a value for brightness setting and post back.
