I got tired of having to unplug and plug the charger to turn on the button leds, so I did this script. Mentioned it to a couple of friends, they thought I should share. So here it is.
This script, used with GScripts Lite from market, will allow the creation of a short cut, to toggle the button leds on and off with one tap. I have tested it on friends' evos as well as mine.
I attached a zip file which contains the "led toggle.sh" file. Place the extracted "led toggle.sh" file in the gscripts folder on the root of the sdcard.
Open GScripts > tap menu > add a new script > needs su > load file > "led toggle.sh" .
BTW if you manually enter this code, be sure to check requires root, in the GScripts checkbox.
You can now create a shortcut from the desktop:
Long press > shortcut > GScript Lite > "led toggle"
Each time you tap the shortcut the leds will toggle from on to off, or from off to on.
It makes my night time use easier. Have fun.
I want to thank the entire g1 GScripts thread for the possibilities, and especially GScripts creator.

A shot of the GScripts icon to turn on and off the button leds.

Hey! Great script!
Damn platform LEDS turn on too early, being able to shut them off really saves juice!
Many thanks!
I'm glad you found it useful.
Thanks for this. I stream movies via hdmi all the time and the leds are always lit.
Now if there was a way to 1)have the leds stay off UNTIL the toggle is hit again and 2)use the sense widget icon for the toggles this thing would look tits.
Yes, I have gone back to sense. I like the widgets too much.
Thanks.
Glad you like it. I use a shortcut icon. Sense supports that.

So I got tired of having to manually holding the power+volume keys to go into recovery every time so I added the Recovery menu option to the power menu. Sharing here in case anyone else would like to have it as well. I also took a look at the 4-way boot mod and I personally just prefer having the option directly on the main Power menu instead of a submenu.
Firstly, thanks to Isaacj87 for putting together the MIUI port!
Secondly, thanks to untermensch on xda for the guide.
I REPLACED the Guard option on the power menu so if you like that option, DO NOT use this mod. Basically, you can't change the array size from 5 options to 6 options without the phone crashing when creating the dialog--there's a bunch of verifications on the dialog size in a bunch of different places that is a real pain to try and follow. I didn't want to mess with that so, since I never used the Guard option anyways, I just replaced it--and I don't know how to make a popup window in smali like the Recovery option on CM7 so I don't have any plans on doing that as well at this time.
I also changed the carrier name to MIUI.
In order to see the power menu Phone Options dialog, you need to change your Toggle Settings to Compact view, otherwise, it will just show you your notification bar toggles when you hold down your Power button. To do that:
Settings --> Personal Tab --> Toggle Settings --> Compact
Or as bing7625 mentioned, you can lock your phone and then hold down the power button on the lockscreen.
This has only been tested with Isaac's current 11-30 MIUI builds. Instructions to install:
1. Download Zip file and flash in ClockworkMod recovery.

So i could not find an app that would do exactly what this one does...
Turn on the flashlight LED immediately upon execution of the app... Instead, every app on the market has the user open it up, then press a button to toggle the flashlight.
My app will IMMEDIATELY turn on your flash light LED then shut off the screen.
Its main purpose is to have as a lockscreen shortcut.
Install instructions:
1. Download APK
2. Place apk onto your SD card
3. Using ANY file explorer app
4. Locate downloaded apk and tap on it to initialize the install process.
5. Install and run the app once to set it up.
Permissions:
Hardware Controls [Allow app to access camera LED]
Also need to enable device administrator to allow device lock
Dont forget to hit thanks it really makes me feel good about myself knowing people are benefiting from this other than myself
Check my Signature for other work/projects by me
THANKS XDA FOR PROVIDING US WITH SUCH A GREAT WEBSITE AND RESOURCE!!
UPDATE 12/10/12 10:36 EST
-Fixed force close issue due to me being retarded....
I've searched a lot for an app like this, the past days and I've also developed one myself, which just today I've managed to finish it(have some problems though).
I will try your app, maybe is better than mine(I'm new in programming).
EDIT:
Just tried, flashlight turns itself off about 10-20 seconds after screen is off(sometimes less), at least on my device.
I'd have this problem with my app too. Do you run it as service?
This is a very useful app my friend. It's so annoying on aosp rom's hitting the power button, pulling down the notification bar, engaging the torch, and cycling all over again. This saves steps and works quite well so far.
I'll report back as I use it more over the next few days.
Using it on a sgs3 running Eclipse rom.

That's not what this is for. This is instant lockscreen on/off. This is a smart app. Obviously there are home screen options other than this.....

Ok thats creepy.. thats EXACTLY where i have my shortcut located at..
nice job keep working on it
thanks for the useful app!
I have developed this app a while ago when I was owning a Nexus device. I find it even more useful on my Note3 since having small hands its not comfortable to get to the Power button to put the phone to sleep. You may find it useless but at least it saves the Power button or helps when using a case.
HERE IS HOW TO USE IT
1. When the app is installed, for the first time the Settings screen will be shown. Simply press the Enable Admin Permission button and then drag the Stand by Icon from App's drawer where you want to have it. Each time you press the icon, the phone will go to standby.
2. If you want to use the Sleep Mode, go to Settings and press on the Zzzzz mode button. You can select which options to be disabled (Sound to Silent, Data Off, Wifi Off), on which interval of hours and how long the options will be displayed. If you check any of the options, next time you press the Standby icon, for a short period of time you will see 2 icons:
- the Sleep icon (with the moon) on it, if you press it, it will disable the options you have selected
- the Wake icon (with the sun) on it, if you press it, it will enable the options you have selected.
The icons are only displayed for the amount of time set by you. If you don't press any of them, the phone will go to standby as normal.

Sound useful, I'm gonna give it a try.
Thank you
Seems very usefull! There is no Bluetooth toggle is there? Cause I want to disable my gear when I am sleeping.. I do this by turning off bluetooth, and in the morning I turn it on again.. Any way you could add that?
Thank you guys for your words.
@Armazia: very good suggestion!. I have uploaded version 2.3 on Google Play which has Bluetooth toggle support So you can now easily switch Bluetooth off in the evening and back on in the morning. It should be available in a few hours.
Very nice
Thanks, new version 2.3 is live on Google Play.

Description:
There are 5 widgets in the application, there is no application interface itself.
2 widgets - transparent widgets, for locking the screen by double-clicking and single-clicking, respectively. (arbitrary size).
3 widgets - widgets in the form of a lock of different colors, for locking the screen by pressing. (1x1).
Tap on the application icon also blocks the screen, this was done for the general style under "Thematic icons", android 13 (Pixel)
Instruction:
1. Install the application.
2. Open system settings /Accessibility/DoubleTapWidget
warning will be issued,
press "OK".
3. Open system settings / applications / find in the list DoubleTapWidget / Click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner - "Allow settings changes", will ask for a password.
4. Again we go to point 2, but now you can activate the toggle switch
5. Go to the home screen, open the list of widgets, and select the desired widget.
Advantages:
1. The application does not consume battery as it uses a simple widget.
2. Without Root
3. Without any advertising.

Version: 1.2:
It skips the screen off animation. Is it possible to add it back? Maybe power off with root to achieve this?
I use this widget "Screen off - Widget & tile".

What's the reason for this app if we already have Double to Sleep on stock?

We don't have double tap to sleep on stock.
I always use double tap to sleep features that come with Nova Launcher. Great works, regardless

As mentioned yes unfortunately there is no double tap to sleep on stock unless you use a custom launcher.

You mean on Nova?
Is granting accessibility access to an app a safety concern?
