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

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

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:

I don't know about the Active, but on the regular S4 the LED light from the "hold volume up button" is noticeably dimmer than when you activate it with apps. I'm using the Notification Toggle app from the Play Store to put the LED toggle in the notification panel. It's nearly as convenient as using the volume button and it's brighter without any risk of accidental activation in your pocket.

Yea it does have that option, just not the volume up with the screen off. You have to hold the brightness slider icon in the notification panel to activate it.
Not to be a bother, but I notice it works on some peoples phones and not others. Is there a special thing that needs to be done to get the vol-up for torch working? I know how to get to the secret settings, and they're set for me. It doesn't light up for me . Any advice?

NottachXposed has both of those options. The volume up function is in the Lockscreen settings. You actually don't need Nottach to access it. It's just a convenient shortcut.

I think you need a deodexed ROM. Didn't work for me until I flashed the Mint Jelly ROM (which I recommend :good.

Alright, i'll give that a try. Not opposed to flashing roms, especially if they remove all this Samsung + ATT bloatware Thanks for your help.
Just an update.
I'm not sure if it was having a deodex rom, or just simply being on Android 4.2.2 (Might be the case). But my light is working now with screen off!
EDIT:
One more thing. Enabling this setting will create a wakelock that'll keep your phone at the lowest mhz you set it to instead of letting it go into deep sleep. It's a nice setting, but at the battery cost... it's something that isn't good enough for me yet. I have a profile setup in tasker for TelsaLED on with a shake on the locked homescreen to try my best and mimic this functionality (I was looking for something that starts up at boot, and flips the LED on from lockscreen). I know there's another flashlight that does this as well, but I ran into the problem of it not booting on startup, where as I use Tasker for other functionality so it starts up 100% of the time. It's not 100% since the LED takes a little to flip on... but it's better than having to unlock.
JUST an FYI to save people the feeling of underwhelming when it starts sapping your battery mercilessly!

thats absolutly not true, i use the feature on nottachs xposed app and my phone goes into DEEP SLEEP using ktz kernel,and there is another mod that u can use called 3 minit but you need framework but that has torch when the lock screen is on by pressing the home button,but i found i would have the light on by accident ,idk how but it would jsut be on with that mod.
3 minit work pretty well you can set it to long press home
Try flashlight led genius from playstore , no root need , you shake it when your on the lockscreen,awesome app

I'm going to stick with what I think then. After I flip on the light.. it never goes back into deep sleep. Try it yourself. I'll take a look at 3 minit
FYI the wakelock it made was PhoneWindowManager.mTorchlightWakeLock
This is a feature in CM10.1. You can add it under lock screen options for long press home button. Absolutely love it.

I think your Android version needs to be 4.2.2 to do the torchlight thing through Nova. I could be wrong though.
Ok another update on this.
Since djmouse wasnt getting any sort of wakelock, I decided to try again getting it working. I enabled it through xposed instead of the nova shortcut.... and for some reason it's letting me go to deep sleep now! ... I also flashed crossbreeder... so that might be the savior. Not sure, but happy to report the wakelock seems to be lifted. I'll report back after a few days if it stays that way.
THanks djmouse for challenging me to try it again!
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.

If you could update with what it was that you found usefull that would be great. Thanks. I am looking for anything close to posibly even take ideas from.
It shows a small icon on the screen for different notifications, which if I remember correctly are all customizable. So it's a persistent icon on the screen letting you know about missed calls, texts, unread emails, or whatever you set it up for. It only uses a tiny amount of screen, and therefore backlight. Back when the Android phones first came out a lot of them didn't have leds for notifications. I don't remember having a big hit on my battery at the time from the program.

I just got the Turbo today, and I will try it out too. I know it was a lifesaver when I had my Samsung Captivate.
A nudge or a wave shows moto display, I think it's the natural evolution of a notification led
I know but i wish it didn't. I have the wave turned off but i cant turn the nudge off. I only want it to display if there is a notification. If there is nothing it should just wait patiently. But that's just me.
