any way to add button backlight timer to ROM without it? - Sprint LG Optimus G

Some of the Roms have a backlight timer to keep the hardware buttons lite the whole time the screen is on but others don't. The one I'm on now doesn't have that feature so they go off after like 3 seconds so I'd like to change that if its possible. I'm using an app right now but I'd like to have it as part of the ROM.

[Q] Adv Key Mapping question. Dev insight appreciated

Recently moved away from IOS JailBreak to Android, and can't say im used to the new FileSystem! I am trying to map keys specifically while the lockscreen is active. Most of my searches are littered w/ the global keylayout method. I noticed how the camera app remaps vol and pwr hard buttons (to zooming and controls lock respectively), while lockscreen nulls the 4 touch keys but keeps the global hard buttons, except camera. IOS JB had "activator". It is able to set button and gesture actions for the lock screen, home screen, while an app was active, and global (across the other 3). I dont need the full "activator", just wish to do lockscreen specific remappings to better utilize unused keys that otherwise have a good function. Anyone know a good FS mod shortcut or does the lockscreen.apk it's self need to be altered to achive this?
You can simply pull the key mapping file off the phone itself and edit it in notepad, save it, and send it back on. You need root though, I believe. Follow this guide and mix it up yourself! There are many tutorials on how to do this, if this certain one isn't too helpful. This one specifically is for the G1 but the steps should be very similar.

Post #4 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046761. Epic specific button mapping file.
Thanks, but those are, what I refer to as, the global keylayout, because it affects the phone's lockscreen, homescreen, and where ever else applicable. For Example, I am trying to mod the lockscreen camera buttons to control music, but it goes back to the camera buttons @ homescreen. I would also like to set the 4 touch buttons that are normally blocked on the lockscreen to do Media stuff as well. The keylayout overtakes too much. I'm lookin a bit more into the filesystem to day, might look into the AOSP work for better insight. Still open to any suggestions on where 2 look.

[Q] Small soft keys on home screen?

I hope people like the small soft key idea just hoping for more use of it. so the question is what controls the function and how does this affect application resolution? I would like it on home screen. If anyone can figure this out, I would buy him a beer.
I would like to get this question out there, how about a sticky?
The keys often hide inside an app to give full resolution to the app.
I don't know what you mean by controls the function

I think he means that he wants some sort of ROM or widget or gesture that will toggle the softkeys or soft menu buttons similarly to how the Gnex hides this menu when playing video automatically (stock ICS video player)
I think it would be cool if you could turn this on and off with some sort of gesture. I think it would be cool for apps which are not ICS aware. Like Flash Video player does not go true full screen and the stock browser even with the full screen labs option does not go true full screen.
A gesture or toggle with be a cool power user option.
Yes a toggle I did some reading in sdk help. Look like there is code for it
I hope the right person sees this and can figure it out more screen is always better

[Q] Button lights

Is there a way to dim the button leds while watching a video?
Is it even possible to make a mod like that?
try buttons backlight available on playstore but requires root
Hold the power button till they start flashing, then let go and they should be off. Annoying to do it every time but doesn't need root. Capacitive buttons on play store does it permanently but does need root.

Disable Capacitative Buttons

Is there a way I can completely disable them? I'm using the PAC ROM, and it doesn't look good complete I have them lighting up every time I touch the screen. I would rather use the provided PIE controls in the ROM. Thanks in advance!

Back & Recents keys

Can anyone confirm if there's a way to swap between the Back & Recents keys?
Do they change when using a RTL language?
I presume it will be a problem, now that they're capacitive.
In software it can be done, I know on most custom roms the tweak apps let you assign whatever action you want for like single press, double tap, long press. As far as in the HTC settings I would assume not. Only downside to doing that is the picture of the button wont change. You could always disable them and use on screen buttons but you will loose part of the screen.
