[Q] turn off lights of physical buttons? - Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Some time ago I started using CM11 and added virtual buttons to be more practical. Also deactivated the physical buttons but its lights still bothers me a lot and never found a way to turn off. Any of you know how to turn off those lights in CM11 4.4.4?

A way to keep capacitive button Backlights on?

On touchwiz stock there is an option to change how long the capacitive button backlights stay on from what I believe is 1.5 seconds all the way up to "always on while the screen is on". With basically every other rom there are no options like this, it's just on, or off. But the "on" is only 2 seconds, and I would like for them to be on the entire time the screen is on. The option in CM under advanced>sensors says Enable backlight keys - Light up touch keys when screen is on....however they are still on a 2 second timer.
I tried an app which stated to have this option called "pimp my rom" but it was oddly missing it.
I'm currently on the lattest cm10.1 nightly, is there a mod or something I can edit to get this to work?

Hold Power button during screen off for Torch?

This was an amazing feature I had on my G2 running Andromadus Mimicry ROM back about a year ago.
If you held the power button down for 2 seconds when the screen was off, it would activate the LED flash and essentually turn your phone into a flashlight. This is MUCH more convenient and intuitive than tapping the power button, swiping to unlock your screen, clicking on the Torch app, then clicking the lightbulb to turn on the flash.
Does anyone know of a ROM or app for the LG Nitro that has this? Supposedly it is an AOKP feature, so I installed JellyBAM which is a blend of various ROMs including AOKP and I was unable to find any setting to enable this.

In CM10.1 (or -based roms) you can simply press pwr (no need to even unlock), swipe down, and click the torch "plate", which instantly turns on the light. Then just press again to turn off.. Pretty easy IMO.

CM 10.1 has the option to set Torch similarly to the harware buttons like said above but I believe it cannot be set to the lock/power button. For example all you need to do press the lock button then hold down the home button and it automatically turns the LED on and after you're done you hold to turn it off. With jellybam v7.1 you have to unlock/enter pattern and hold the set hardware button . But by far personally Jellybam is a much better Rom at least for an experinced and it wouldn't be worth it to switch over something like that. Try setting the Torch wiget to one of the side screens at the lock screen. If you come up with something better or have a question please post :fingers-crossed:
Setting it to the Notification Bar or Lock Screen is nice, but nothing beats holding one button down and pretending your phone is a physical flashlight :/
Maybe one day someone will port the AOKP feature over to the Nitro.
Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.

[Q] Capacitive button flash on touch

Hi there...
I wanted to ask you if there is a mod, preferably for the Xposed framework, to achieve the following...
I want the Backlight of the three Capacitive button to flash when pressed, somewhat similar to stock android soft keys, so that when you press it it light up for a sec and then turns back off.

They turn on for a few secs when the screen is touched then off.

I want them only to turn on when they are touched... like when i press back, only the back button lights up for a sec and then turns back on...
The same for the home and recents buttons...
Just so there is no misunderstanding...

I get you, I think all the buttons are on the same circuit either on or off.

Doesn't CM have a feature to turn the home button into a notification light so it pulsates when you have a notification ?
That would mean that they can be switched on and off individually

All buttons blink with this feature, not only the home button.

I still cant figure out on how to turn off the lights... I have no option for touch key light duration. Is there a way to edit this manually to be set as always off?

Go to Settings > Device > Display > Touch key light duration. Here you can set the time out or Turn it ON or OFF.

This option disappears if you have disabled they keys first. Be sure to disable the lights first!

You must have disabled something else too. I have the navbar enabled, keys disabled and I can still see the option and turn ON/OFF the keys back light.

Backlight/illumination of capacitive back and app switch buttons

I got an Galaxy A5 2017, and it seems like a great device so far. However, I am confused by the back and task switch buttons being switched as compared to my Z1C I used before. This is compounded by the backlight of these buttons being off most of the time - so you have to use them blindly - activating only (very briefly) when pressing/tapping them. Is there a way to have the capacitive buttons' backlight switch on when the screen is unlocked?
Cheers!
There are some apps that can do this. I use "Button Light and Touch" to keep the lights off, but it can also keep them on.
search in google play : galaxy button lights 2 , use and be happy!
If you are confused you can use Buttons remapper from Play store to switch the back and recents.
Tried this one first, set for "always on" and like the effect so far. Thanks to all.
