Can all the keys on the lights to get some regulation to stay constantly on top on (always on) because they are hard to find in the dark?
So how do I get on the keypad lights always on?k
Yeah, I hate this too. The buttons dim out WAY too early during normal web browsing & I'm always searching for them if I'm using the Tab in a dimly lit room.
Im sure this would be easy to hack. I've seen other Android phones be able to apply patches that can regulate the time the soft keys stay lit.
this annoys me too specially when reading ebooks.. everytime i turn the page, the capacitive buttons lit up and its bright!
Did you guys check under display for a how long to keep buttons lit option. On the samsung epic there is an option under display for the menu, back, buttons timeout options maybe that will help. Sorry if I'm wrong

Yeah, there's only an option for screen timeout & that's it.
Did anyone find a solution to this ?
I have just got a Tab and there are a few niggles to sort out to decide if i am going to keep it or not.
Thanks for any replies.
Anyone ?
And I can thought I was the only one getting annoyed by that

I just drag my finger over the screen and they light up, easy solution
Hi,
Has anyone found a method of disabling those bl***y button lights. I purchased this device mainly for ebook reading at night but the lights popping up like search lights every time I turn a page is very annoying.
ok, you can touch the display to get buttons backlight back on, but that is still pretty annoying. Isn't there any way of controling buttons backlight individually?
One solution would be to recompile the lights library
Code with fix available here:
https://github.com/cmsgs/android_de...mmit/87f51dbe93d153990b14a0e000c0db36f84a0adc
Seems like only the Korean rom have this function of setting the duration of 4 button lights option.

Would be nice if some kind of application ortweak wouldmake it possible to keep button light on idd. In the shade or dark its hard to see.
Yeah, I too wanna keep the LEDs (Home, Back, Send and End) on the HTC Fuze constantly on, or at least stay on longer than the few seconds as it does by default. Can't seem to find a solution, only similar requests...

this is an old issue which is default for gingerbread for samsung galaxy tab.
several solutions I know of
1.replacing the file which controls the lights-here(needs root). this is the one I am using but it is timed and everytime you touch the screen it goes on,I can live with that.
2. using overcome kratos
3. using buttonbacklight widget(from market)-with this one you will be able to set lights off or on.....also needs root.
Bit late but u could use some scripts to turn on/off backlights, root is needed.
Code for off script
chmod 644 /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness
Code for on script
chmod 644 /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness
Code for restore to stock script
chmod 644 /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness

&& Use TASKER to do a LED LIGHTS OUT &&
Biopsin: Thanks for the tip.
However, it is overwritten each wakup, so using TASKER I made it that each display on it executes as root "echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness" and it WORKS PERFECTLY! I never really needed the lights on the buttons, I know where they are ... super cool!

I'm sure this is in a basic FAQ or something... but I ask anyway.
Is there some way to get the screen to NOT go black after what seems like 3 seconds? I want the screen to remain lit basically until I tell it to go off with a power button push.

Embarrassing. Thanks.
Is there a way to increase the timeout while the phone is dialing and connecting? The phone goes black before the 4th ring and you have to hit the power button if you want to end the call.
how about on the lockscreen??

Actually I would like to know about this as well, the lockscreen goes blank really fast too.
Actually, if u have Widgetlocker you can set the timeout for your lockscreen. Mines set to turn off after 1 minute.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
My issue is that regardless of what interval I set my screen timeout to, it somehow always defaults back to 30 seconds. I'm not sure if it happens after the lockscreen comes up or what, but the setting never seems to actually stick. I'm using Widget Locker (set to 1 minute), and have that set to override the system setting (set to 1 minute as well), and nothing seems to work.
Any ideas on how I can get my settings to stick? Has anyone even heard of such a thing happening?
I'm running AOKP Build 39 and trying to go full ICS with the NAV bar. I've figured out how to completely disable the capacitive soft keys from working, however they still light up when touched. What do I need to do to disable the soft key light? I figured there'd be an option in ROM control or Display but I could not find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

You might try an app called Keep The Lights On. Don't let the name fool you. It also let's you keep the lights off.

I downloaded that, but it doesn't seem to do anything. It's just a widget? There's no settings to keep them off or anything, maybe I have the wrong app.. Can you post a link?
It is a simple widget. Works like a light switch.
Also, in ROM control, do you see an option for LED settings under functionality?
Edit
Well, it seems ktlo doesn't work on aokp. Sorry.
I appreciate your trying to help. I couldn't get ktlo to work and yeah, no option in AOKP that I'm aware of. Been doing a lot of research and apparently its really hard to do on the Captivate...
Although the setting in "Settings>Device options>Touchkeys>Backlight Timeout" definitely edits the duration they stay lit.. if only I could figure out where that actual number is located, I could edit it to be zero seconds which would keep them off? Any idea where that info is pulled from?
No idea myself. But,i was thinking about the same thing.
I tried pulling the aires apk from version 38 bit i don't know what to edit

In Sixstring's AOKP for Captivate thread he acknowledged that this is something that they planned on implementing but got distracted. He also said to look forward to it being in future builds at some point. I consider that a WIN heh.

Does anybody know of a way to completely disable the soft key lights on i9000? I had mad a script to disable them on my old phone, but i cant seem to find a way to disable them now. I am using CM9. Anybody know if this can be done?
Why you want do that ???
Well I'm on slim and in ns tools settings you can change the led timeout, and it indeed goes down to zero, so theoretically, yes

Won't work, if you set it to 0, they stay on forever - don't ask me why... But you can set them to 30ms, which is nearly 0
Why would I want that? Cause when its dark they are very distracting and I know where they are I don't need them to light up. And I tried n's tools before but they still come on for a millisecond and that's almost more annoying hahah

The only solution to fix your problem is to make a build.prop who will exclude the soft keys lights but it's a risky business. So if your really want to do that ask to an expert otherwise drop it.

The minimum is 1ms. But none of the apps support 1ms selection, you will have to either
A. create an init.d script that makes timeout = 1 (you can base this on nstools setting).
B. you can edit the nstools' or midnight control's (whatever tool you are using to set led timeout) config file (look in /data/data) to 1.
I also want soft keys off permanently, but no-one has released a patch for it yet afaik. And since I moved back to gingerbread I can't even get less than 250ms (and only with midnight kernel) >_<
when i updates CM9 4.0.4 BCM for my Nexus One, the capacitive buttons (as back, menu, home, search) not light up when I am in a dim room. I can force them on my covering the brightness sensor. My Inspire would light up whenever I hit a button. Is there maybe a setting I am missing to turn the feature on?
Do you help me?!
Thanks.
You can tweak brightness levels on CM9. This includes the button lights being on /off - value of 255=on, any other value = off.
Think it's Display >. Automatic back light > Use custom > Edit other levels.
You will then see a table of values with a Button column on the right hand side. Set this to 255 or 0 as needed.
Of course you need to have Automatic Brightness switched on in the first instance for this to work.

i work it with your guide. but it not ligh.
Do you give me specific instructions?
i'm ok!
thank you very much!
No problem.
You can also use the app Screen Filter. With this app you can dim your screen to different levels. However it also has an option to set the button lights on/off, so you could also use that without requiring Automatic Brightness.
So you could create a Screen Filter Widget at say 96% brightness and button light on, and another similar one with button light off. Try it out anyhow.
Hope that makes sense, and good luck

i' sorry! . but i want to join Development thread, give my opinion or to make comments in thread.
hi, i was wondering if it's possible to disable the 'back' and 'home' keys' illumination at the bottom of the display next to the htc logo...
it's an option on the GS3, so i thought i'd ask... thanks in advance.
Probably
I would think so, I'd just start looking in the system files and mess with some settings, I'd help, but I have yet to receive my One.
Also, I'm sure someone will eventually do something like that.
are you rooted? I have a way to dim or turn off but you need root

I am rooted and would be interested in this.
Somewhat related note, you wouldn't happen to know how to enable software buttons would you? Adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to the build.prop does not work for that.
i do not have the phone yet, 4 more weeks til my upgrade eligibility date...
i am on the fence between the s4 and the ONE like many others, but i think i am pretty set on the black ONE :good:
