One of these 3:
SlimKat
OmniRom 4.4
CyanogenMod 11
None of them seem to have any menu options relating to turning off the backlight.

They do work to turn off the keylights. However, it also causes the screen brightness to be stuck at maximum. If I use the volume buttons, the system brightness changes (the bar goes up and down) but the screen itself doesn't change its brightness. It also disables the notification light. Maybe you only need to change some values of the file instead of deleting it?

I don't know how to edit that file. Looks like we'll have to wait until there is a menu option to turn them off

On stock GSM ROM 4.0.2:
Go to the "Settings" > "Sound" > "Vibrate on touch", which should turn off all vibrations including the lock screen vibration.

on the stock rom no way to disable it on the lockscreen
Ok not to start a new topic..
What rom / mod is suggested for daily use... that has these two options:
-turn off vibration on lock screen
-turn off vibration while moving icons / folders / widgets..
Very annoying! Ayone?

I have been using Liquid ROM for a week and I noticed that the vibration disappeared. I dont know how I did it, but it's gone! I hope it's not just malfunctioning!
I have yet to find a Rom that does not have it.

I am currently looking into this. I lowered the vibration in my kernel to lower the vibration on the lockscreen but some have complained that it lowers it too much for their liking for instance when the ringer is off and just vibration on...
anyways, when you toggle vibrate on touch in settings it is not "global" and it remains on the lockscreen.
the changes need to be made in
Code:
core/java/com/android/internal/widget/RotarySelector.java
and
Code:
core/java/com/android/internal/widget/SlidingTab.java
it's possible the changes are in cm9 (they are in cm7) but I am going to merge these into aokp and submit a pull request
How did you edit the vibration in your rom? I would like to turn it up on my phone. I can barely feel it in my pocket when I'm doing something else.

power toggles works great except for 2 things...

1. No way to set the brightness to 0%.. why won't it go below 10%?
2. GPS toggle brings up location services menu instead of actually toggling the GPS on.
Anyone have a solution to either?
You can always use an app to get those toggles or just wait for the custom ROMS.

Correct me if I'm wrong but 0% means no brightness at all......
So how the hell are u gonna bring it back up when u can't see a thing?

Not sure if it's zero but installed power widget goes much darker than power toggle does
Make power toggles a system app with titanium backup, then pressing the gps icon will turn it on rather than take you to the location access screen.

Just move /data/app/com.painless.pc-1.apk to /system/app/com.painless.pc-1.apk , chmod 644 /system/app/com.painless.pc-1.apk and reboot.
Need root
Thanks!
I would VERY much like to have no icon rather an an invisible one. The blank space seems off. Any possible edits there?
There has to be a way to get rid of the icon. In the description of the app, he mentioned that it can't because of the api but extended controls removes it from notification but when you enable notification controls, a widget is still left on the screen. Which this one has an option to remove that.

The GPS thing is general. After 3.0 update no app is allowed to change GPS state so you need a work around. Tasker can't change GPS states either. Either do it manually, or install secure settings. Needs root.

Yes ofc as u can see in the screenshot there is a huge space between the battery status and the message notification. That is because of power toggles. I choose transparent but the space is still there, how do I move that space? The creator of the app said it cant be done but I am quite sure someone has done it before...so please help me out

has nothing to do with gps mate
fyi an update a few weeks back fixed the GPS on/off location services bug.
still no way to set the minimum brightness below 10 however.
i have to go into the brightness settings and manually move it lower if i want the screen to be dimmer.
that still bugs me.

Power Toggles coupled with Lux is a pretty good combo.

Setting the notification priority to 1 instead of 5 and restarting the app removes the icon. The toggles can't be pinned to top however.

CM10.1 Pixelization on Boot

When my phone first boots from CM10.1 and the boot animation is about to disappear, I see distortion and pixelization occur until my phone home is up for like 3 seconds. What's up with this?

kernel color settings. you probably changed it with an app. after boot, app starts and change your color settings, thats what it is.

Lockscreen timeout delay

Hello,
I'm using CM 10.1, and I've been looking for an option to change the lockscreen timeout from when the screen is already locked. For example, the screen is locked, and I push the home button to show my lockscreen, the lockscreen stays on for about 15-20 seconds before it times out. Is there any way to change the duration through the settings or possibly and Xposed Framwork mod? I cannot seem to find anything.
Kind Regards,
-
Any suggestions?

Yes, unfortunately I've searched through the settings already, there doesn't appear to exist such an option.

Try the xposed framework mod or a different mod or try a different rom but am 100% sure that its there on Cm 10.1, i have used CM for a while and again 1000% sure that timeout change settings is there built in either its you or the phone one or the other, this is not something to nag about

Liteflow & Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4

The Tab Pro 8.4 doesn't appear to have any Notification LEDs. Liteflow has a number of other leds mentioned under "Additional LEDs found". However, I can't get any of them to work. It would be really useful if I can get the leds to work for notifications.
I'm running stock Touchwiz 4.4.2 with root. Enabling Root and Samsung mode in Liteflow didn't work.
The tablets don't offer LED notifications, The only LED is the camera flash on the back, and it only works as a camera flash or flashlight.

I think I remember an app that allows you to use capacitive buttons LED as notification. I'll post if I remember

It didn't work. Here is the following LEDs that are available when "Samsung Root Mode" is enabled. I have Root. I'm now running CM11 Mondrianwifi LTE unnofficial but it hasn't made a difference in getting them to work. I really want to get them working because I currently don't have any notification lights and using the camera flash as a notification light is insane and blinding. Values 1, 128 and 255 do nothing.
1. led:flash_0
2. led:flash_1
3. led:flash_torch
4. wled:backlight
5. lcd-backlight
6. mmc0::
7. mmc1::
8. sec_touchkey
There is an option in accessibility for flash notification
Edit- nevermind, i see thats not what you want
