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

Oh, FYI: If you want to delete non-empty folders in a Linux terminal, use "rm -r". To view hidden files use ls -A (won't show the "." and "..", use -a instead, if you wanna see them).
Hi! friends do you know?you are able to hide a folder from anyone without using any softs or apps.It can possible with your android's file manager;which are almost inbuilted in your phone.Just follw the easy steps to hide a folder with it's contains.
»»INSTRUCTION:
First open your phone's file manager,then choose the folder you want to hide.Next just RENAME the target folder you want to hide,just give a 'dot'(.) on before the name of the folder,and see the magic...BRAVO!!! folder was hidden successfully.To view the hidden folder,just go to the settings of your file manager and select "SHOW HIDDEN FOLDERS/ITEMS",then the folder appears;to hide it again just unselect "SHOW HIDDEN FOLDERS/ITEMS",the folder will be hides again.
If you have a bit problem with understanding the method,just see the example bellow-
»EXAMPLE:
Here "PROJECT" is a target folder which i want to hide.Just rename this folder from "PROJECT" to ".PROJECT".The folder will automatically hides.
»NOTES::
If your folder does not hiddening,then please check your file manager settings options to view hidden items.If this option is at 'on' mode so please 'off' the option to hide your folder.Then it works fine.

I think it is basic knowledge.
But when you will open the sd card the hidden files will be shown automatically.
It is applicable only in android device.
By the way thanks for the share.
Thanks for ur comment.But I have tried this procedure with my android divice,and by opening/removing the sd card...the files are not shows again...and also i have inserted the sd card with hidden files in my java phone..but the hidden files are not shown on the java phone also...

Nice idea. I don't mean to be a spoil-sport, or a smart-ass.... But here goes...
Either that, or you can wear your geek glasses and do the following (root required).
1. Get Root Explorer or a similar app.
2. Browse to /data or /system or the root / or any other folder you like. But make sure you have got some free space left.
3. Mount R/W
4. Create a folder in any name you like. Let's say rktcool.
5. Put your contents in there.
6. ta da! You are done.
Now, your data is relatively more secure
If you want further security, backup Root Explorer using appSaver, or something similar, and then uninstall it. Now, the stock file managers can only browse your sdcard, and you have to install it (Root Explorer) again to be able to view your hidden files...
Pardon me OP, but I just happened to think about this one. Sorry for messing up your thread

Making folder in your firmware root location is not a safe location,cause,files may be deleted during flashing firmware packages.And also using the system space may cause many problem for your phone,cause,those spaces are specified for just system datas.....

I think the data being lost during a firmware flash is not much of an issue. It is same as an sdcard - you will always have a backup when you are going to format it.
I meant /system as an example. If that causes any problem, there are always other folders out there like /data where applications you install on your internal memory go. You could keep your files there and install apps on sdcard always.
Better still, you could partition your sdcard, and store your secret files in the second partition, so that they are not even accessible by the normal file managers!
Hey XDA!
I have a quick question about recovering a 'hidden' folder that I can't find.
I recently just wiped my device and installed a new ROM with Philz Touch Recovery.
I looked through my photos and I can't find a special folder I had 'hidden.'
There's no option to 'show hidden content'
Is there any other place I can look? I backed up that particular DCIM folder from internal memory to my computer.
Then after I couldn't find the hidden folder in phone, I replaced the old DCIM folder to my phone's memory.. STILL can't find it.
Any help is appreciate at this point..
Thanks again!

Files made hidden by the stock gallery app will still stay in the DCIM folder, right?

I'm not 100 percent sure, but i think so. I don't use the stock gallery so i am not sure. But usually natural linux hidden attributes is simply adding a period to the beginning of the file or folder.

Omg I found it lol, so basically I made a random folder then hid it. Plugged it into my computer to find the folder name.
Of course with the option to view hidden files and folders.
Saw the folder I was looking for and opened file location. It's stored in:
Phone > Internal Storage > .hide > folder name
Thanks for your help, though.

I used to remember what files to rename to kill and stop the Ota updates...
Anyone by chance remember what ones they are?

Okay what I ended up doing in addition since the OTA was already downloaded. .
1) go to
/cache
Delete the OTA ZIP if there..
2) Delete or rename
/etc/security/otacerts.zip
3) click on annoying prompt in tray reboot and away it goes..
4) go to
Settings\more\security\security policy updates\
Uncheck "automatic updates"

Not sure if Fwupgrade.apk needs to be renamed. .. I have had it named back for a while now so, it looks like that particular APK isn't a contributer to the update nagging. ..

Hey Scottie
I the system/cache, I don't have or I can't find a cache folder. I did find the OTA once and was able to delete it. But now no luck. Also when I go to system/etc/security/otacerts.zip inside my security folder it has a folder that says cacerts but that's the only one that has a certs in the name of the folder. This dang notification is driving me batty. Anyone have any ideas? Should I dirty flash the Rom again?
Thank you in advance

By the way, /etc is under root as well, not under /system. In there, I found the otacerts.zip and renamed it using Root Explorer.
