Hi, been playing around with roms the last week, an noticed that the Desire rom would turn off the button lights when you entered night mode in the clock.
I was wondering if this is possible CM?
Thanks
just download the leds hack application and you can set it to turn them off anytime its attached to power, or after a certain time

This didnt work for me. Does it only work on the stock launcher?
when u selected the phone did u select nexus one or nexus one cm? if u are using cm rom u need too select the nexus one cm
Awesome, I've been looking for an app that does this.
Link for those looking for it.
LEDs Hack is really cool!!
works great with my desktop dock!
Thanks LEDs Hack worded a treat!

I know since 2.1 has been out, led lights on our phones have been a problem with most roms. Even with new roms, the lights work but they dont shut of during movies and so on. And if using a overclocked rom, you dont have trackball/home key lights at all.
Well I found a program on the Market that lets you disable them or turn them on. I tested them all and they actually work.
Im using Fresh toast v1.1 and I clicked the trackball check mark and the ball lite up.

I updated the post above.. Thats what i had typed there... It wasnt directed to the .27 kernel
Does work BUT obviously backlights and trackball will stay lit while screen is on but i guess they don't draw that much extra current. Just a drag to need a program running to have lights but hey it's all part of the fun of getting closer to a perfect cooked rom

It says will stay lit until you disable. But im sure someone could make a quick widget on the desktop that would disable/enable a certain light on the phone. So if you need it, it would just be a click away.
The main reason why i shared, because back when DC got the leak and the lights started working. There was no way to disable the lights in the dark and during movies the ball would stay lit.
speaking of the trackball, ive been looking for a program that will make my trackball flash when i have a new sms/mms.
any help?

The dev of the app has is source code for everyone to get.
Im sure someone could create the app that simply says
if messages received
then flash the ball till button pressed or certain amount of time.
by using the same thing this app does to turn it on
Ask one of the higher devs here.. Flipz, toast, damage, darch, treve, maybe avalanche, regaw.. Im sure there is more
+1 for interest in trackball notifications.
Agreed would love to see flash lights for notification built in not 3rd party i am sure we could intergarte it
I read that CM7 will supposedly let you turn off the button lights (back, menu, search, and home), but is there a way to turn them off without it? Thanks.
Are you using a custom kernel with backlight notifications? Or do you just want the lights off all the time? If you are using a custom kernel with BLN you can use BLN Control from the market to disable backlight notifications.
I'm using it stock and want the 4 cap. button lights to turn off after a few seconds so I can watch videos in the dark (or have an app that I start that turns off the lights before I watch a movie).
Does BLN also disable capacitivte button lights (not just backlight notifications)? Are there other non custom rom solutions?
Backlight dimmer (BLD), one of Ezekeel's mods does this. It disables the capacitive buttons after x amount of time (variable you can set freely). But you need a custom kernel for this to work, not a custom rom. Check the developer section, most new kernel versions support BLD. Then, you can download NSTools from the market to set and configure the functionality.
BLN is only for notifications and blinking normally so it's not what you're looking for.

Awesome, that's actually even better. One question though, once the buttons/lights are disabled how are they re-enabled? Simply touching the screen? Thanks.
nope they'll stay off if you touch the screen. you have to touch the buttons themselves to get them to relight

Oh ok, perfect. thanks
Can someone point me to the correct file to download here for installing BLD:

As a clarification, the feature is not available on 7.1.0.1 but only in the nightly later nightly builds. However, if you're running the stable mod, a workaround is to use Spark Mod Manager.
Anyone else find the auto backlight adjustment crap (CM9 - but also every other rom)?
It either does nothing, or varies wildly even though light levels aren't changing.
Also anyone know how to send phone into quiet mode after midnight? sick of getting woken up at 2am every night by emails
Thanks!

about anoyng mail notification - before u go to sleep go to setting and deactivate sync of google accounts - sweet dreams
About lightening u can just set the amount of light that u want on settings if you dont get used to cm9 auto blacklight
cheers
my only problem with the auto backlight is with the lower buttons, they dont turn off when i watch a video.

Actually, it works fine if you set the levels properly. By default it's not too great, I must admit that too.
Using a ROM like CyanogenMod will enable you to completely customize it. If you take some time, you can get it to work perfectly.

That sounds like bug in rom. Check your dispaly/display/touch key displey dration. you might have always on selected. Good luck

same question,any app cant wake up phone by volume button ?
i used LightLock to light on htc chacha proximity sensor,but it's not convenient.
Good question that, my keyboard is always going dark just when I don't want it to/when I'm typing.
sent usin' tapatalk innit.
I found Keyboard Backlight Controller on market but it doesn't work on chacha
nobody care about using another key to wake up htc chacha ????????
Solution~
you can just hit the app icon to switch keypad backlight between
off mode
and
system control mode
The application works!
I'm always a bit suspicious of these kind of things coupled with Chinese writing when it's run-but avg was happy and when it asks for root I've allowed but not "remembered" the permission. Yet.
Thanks

the best way is holding finger on sensor... :laugh::cyclops::good:
The best way is to decompile framework-res.apk and edit /res/values/arrays.xml
There are stored backlight settings and you can edit them to stay on all the time, or on any level you want.
And then compile apk and push it to system/framework
Hi all It might not sound wise but I just got myself an second hand Infuse 4G for a nice price, and like every device I've owned, got CM running on it in hours. However, there's something that bugs me for a bit, and that is the touch key backlight.
On other devices I have, CM's Settings-Buttons part controls touch key backlight well, leaving it on for whatever duration or turning it off. But on all ROMs I've tried till now (CM10, CM10.2, CM11), either this option is absent (CM10's Infuse Settings is incomplete), or the option doesn't work properly:
1) When I set the keys to light up, they don't light up automatically when I wake the phone up from sleep, I'll have to press the keys to activate them.
2) When I turn the light off, the light indeed goes off immediately, but when I press any of the keys, they come back to life again and simply stay on, ignoring the settings.
I remembered that on many HTC phones there was a way to manually control button backlight behavior by altering values of a certain file in /sys/class/..., so after some work, I found the file: /sys/devices/virtual/misc/melfas_touchkey/brightness, and indeed, setting it to 0 will make the light go off. The thing that doesn't work out is that it won't persist - pressing any of the keys still make the light come back. I've set the permission to 0444 and even made a init.d script for that, and I can guarantee that the script itself is working properly, but still it can't keep the light under control... And now I'm stuck.
1) Is there a way to make the option in Infuse Settings or Settings-Buttons work as they should?
2) Any separate app that could also do this?
3) Why won't my manual adjustment persist?
Answering any of these questions would be of help, thank you in advance!

As far as I know, the Infuse hasn't had effective backlight control since Gingerbread. If you wanna go back to that, it should work fine. Otherwise, all of the newer ROMs are using an outdated kernel that doesn't support backlight control. I highly doubt we will see it working again since very few people are still using the Infuse.

I can bear returning to GB and I did, but I've tried both stock UCLB3 and CM7, and neither contains any settings about button backlight...

The Infuse supports backlight control in gingerbread. In order to use it, you'll have to download a third party app in the play store. I don't think CM7 will support it either.
