I have a question for you all, and I am sorry if it has been asked before.
I have noticed that while on a Gee based rom, the capacitive lights are very dim in comparison to, let's say a Stock Rom or a Ls970 based ROM.
I would only assume this is because Gee ROMs are based off Mako/Nexus 4, and the Nexus 4 doesn't have capacitive keys.
My question was just if it was possible to brighten up the keys so they are not so dim. In some sunlight and lights inside, they are not as visible as they would be on a stock/ Ls970 ROM.
Thank you for your time.

Try the capacitive buttons app that I think you used on the AOSP that didn't have any lights at all. When I was messing around with that app it had a brightness setting that it wouldn't use but I think that was because of the ROM.

I did try that app on full brightness, but it would only go as bright as normal gee ROMs would go. Where did you find the setting to make sure I am doing it right?

I believe it was in settings of the app. I don't remember at the moment but if you see options for brightness that has to be it. It is unfortunate that it doesn't work like that.
I will look at the key layout settings (file in rom system) and see if there is a value for brightness setting and post back.

Since there isn't an LED light specifically for notifications, is there a way to make the LEDs for menu, home, back, and search light up for said notifications? It would be even better if each one lit up for specific apps so I could know why it's lighting up before I even turn on the screen.
Thanks for any help!
My suggestion would be NoLED.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing, but was hoping one could take advantage of the buttons' LEDs.

The closest we can get to LED notifications is BLN. You need to use a BLN compatible kernel and use the app BLN Control.

I'm trying to tweak some things on system tuner and my phone rebooted (but took a bit to turn on) my blood pressure dropped, I thought I killed my phone!
But after some reading.. it pretty much means the phone does not like those settings, change them.. right? Phone works fine now though, but I was wondering for future reference

Yeah, basically. If you are undervolting, you need to take tiny increments to make sure the phone is stable before going any further.

Alright, hopefully I'm just being a 'tard and not looking in the right place. I took my phone from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 last night, and I have allllllmost everything set up the way that I want it. The only thing that's missing it the backlight for the four softkeys (menu/home/back/search). I want them to stay lit whenever I have the screen on. I've searched, but all the threads that I turned up were people that couldn't get them to turn off!
Can anyone point me in the right direction, or is it something I just need to get used to?
Thanks,

Its a bug, sometimes they turn on sometimes they don't. I hardly pay attention to them anymore as I've gotten used to it

happens to me off and on. Pretty common actually, not a big issue to me since at this point we should have the layout memorized

This is a known issue. They won't work when the screen comes on initially.
If you leave the screen untouched for about 5 seconds, they will come on when you touch the screen. You can also get them to come on by adjusting brightness. They will work until the screen turns off.

Not quite what I meant... I'm referring to the fact that, once they /are/ lit, if you don't touch the screen for a few seconds, they turn off. I want them to be on as long as the screen is on. You can set this to happen in the OEM TouchWiz OS, but not with CM9.

Go to System > Advanced > Sensors, then check the box beside Enable Keys Backlight

I think I misunderstood. I thought you wanted them to stay on when the screen is on. The directions I gave you do that on mine. What was it you want the keylights to do exactly?
Personally I think the screen brightness is actually too bright except in when out in bright daylight.

I just want to use the Nav Bar in AOKP, instead of the hardware keys. I figured out how to disable them, I just cant turn off LED. Is there a way to do it, but still let it work for notifications?
Here you are my good fellow. Hope this is what you're looking for

I'm actually already using that, I just want to disable the LEDs back lights of the keys. Its some kind of built in galaxy s tool in aokp jb!

Change the custom Backlight settings in display to have 2 settings one on all 0 and one at 100 and then put it into auto bright and lock phone till deep sleep and turn on and there you go

oh i was completely confused by your thread. But in aokp i believe you have to create a shortcut to it on your home screen. In CM10 its under advanced in the settings menu.
Sorry i cant remember, i dont use aokp.
In AOKP JB, the easiest option is to go to settings, device options, sensors, and uncheck "enable keys backlight."
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.

No don't think so. Might be an app for it or mod with in the forums, maybe elesbb can jump in, he knows how to write code for such a thing I think.

I think there called proximity sensors or the home, menu, search and back keys.. Anyways I got the pacman rom and i want to use the pie controls as my home buttons instead of the actual sensors.. How can you disable it if possible? Running to pacman 4.2.2 with cerux kernel

There is a mod in the themes and apps section that has a mod called disable soft keys which is a flash able zip. Just flash it and put electrical tape over the soft keys so they don't look ugly

The proximity sensor is at the top of the phone used to decide when to turn the screen off when the phone get into proximity of your face.
Light sensor is also at the top of the phone and is used to adjust the screen brightness based on how light or dark it is around you.
The four buttons along the bottom are not sensors exactly. They are simply soft keys. There is a flash able mod to disable them. Search in the PAC man ROM thread I'm sure others have asked the same question.
