Anyone know how to make soft keys brighter? Mine is Kinda dim but i can live with it. But if there its a way to make it brighter I'm all for it.

Those are not soft keys soft keys are considered on screen keys . What you are referring to is capacitive buttons .

Check out capacitive buttons on the play store, should do the trick.
Edit: never mind missed the part about it being only for HTC devices.

Any way to change that?
The white epic touch has uncomfortably bright capacitive buttons. So I have to use turn off after 6 seconds option instead of turn off never. It still bothers me though. The black epic touch didn't have this problem.
Not that I know of. I've had mine turned off since the day I got the phone. I know what the buttons are and where they are so I dont need them lit up.

It's certainly possible on HTC phones -

i have a white one too, and, yes, the lights are a lot brighter than on the black ones...Plus, I have a wrapsol covering the entire phone, and, they cast an erie glow
through the screen protector.
Actually, this reminds of an idea for a mod that I had. I thought of it when I had a white et4g screen for a little while, the capacitive buttons look so cool because of the slight aura around the lights.
The idea was a mod that lit each individual button when you hit them, except the light would fade in and out quickly; similar to what the on-screen keys do on the galaxy nexus. It would couple well with a mod that would have them light up quickly in succession when the phone is woken up, rather than simultaneously.
Wishful thinking I suppose lol.

I don't think that would be possible, simply because they were never designed to work that way. Each soft key would have to have its own LED.

Are those capacitive buttons still Amoled?
Cause then by definition they have their own led pixels.
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!

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?

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.

This is a mod how to enable navigation bar(on screen buttons) , its very simple and easy...
Add the following line at the end of buid.prop file
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
now on reboot we will have nav-bar like on nexus 4
To disable hardware keys, I used root explorer go to system/usr/keylayout click and hold on kaypad.nl and choose from menu open in text editor and 139,158,172 edit the home to hom and do the same on all 3 lines and hit save and reboot,
Plus I went and deleted all the 139, 158, 172 lines from external_kbd.kl, Generic.kl, MHLRCP.kl, osp3-input.kl and qwerty.kl. I dont know if that helps because I deleted them first then edited the lines in kaypad.nl.

how to turn off the lights hardware keys?
Its work to disable hw keys but the lights not turn off..
Sent from my LG-E975 using xda premium
HELP! I tried this and got the nexus 4 buttons working. However, once I got to the disabling hardware buttons part, it all went to hell.
I think I may have screwed up the key map file because now my phone's power button is not working.
I can't lock the phone, I can't wake the screen.
However, once I offed the phone using an app, I can turn it on using the power button, so it definitely isn't broken.
Is there a solution to this? I don't have any warrenty and I'm freaking out!!!
Oh and yes, I've done a factory reset and no that didn't solve the issue.
Please help! Thanks in advance! :crying:

Should be possible by editing duno what files in system/usr/keylayout folder.
Quantity not too big, so try find yourself...
On RootBox I only needed to comment out 158, 172 and 139 (by putting a "#" in front) on keypad_8064.kl

Thanks so much for this! I'm going to give this a shot. Not sure if it's really that useful/suits me, but it's always nice to have options.
I have been having some fun with this. Enabled the software keys, disabled the hardware keys, disable the back and menu button lights. Now it just looks like I have a sweet notification light area because you cant see those two buttons when they aren't lit up. I adjusted the pixel density all around to make is so I don't lose any app screen space.
The only issues I have are the icons on the launcher getting cut off on the bottom rows and the camera button is a little messed up, still usable, but there is a dedicated hardware button, so it doesn't really matter.
Now I just need to change the multitask button to a menu button and it will be pretty sweet!
there has to be an app that does this as well.

It could be just me but I'm pretty sure your question makes no sense :/
The HTC logo is not capacitive. It is possible to hide the onscreen buttons using immersion mode or a mod.... Are you bootloader unlocked? Rooted? Gpe or sense?...

The digitizer extended all the way to the bottom of the device (excluding the speakers obviously) so you could technically map that section to anything you wanted.
As for the M8, not too sure if the digitizer extends all the way to the bottom. Why would they, considering this device was designed with on screen keys in mind.
