Does anyone sometimes get no sound or loose data when changing the LCD density? I loose both a lot, using 'LCD density changer'

Oops, accidentally clicked thanks. Same thing happens to me. But if you do it manually by editing the build.prop in Root Explorer, it works perfect.

Is it possible to disable the backlight for the soft keys?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I'm pretty sure there isn't a way but don't quote me on that. My logic is because it seems the backlit keys use the screen light to actually become backlit they aren't like a separate area really.
I think they are on a separate sensor. In CM7 they would be off a lot of the time.

Yes they can be disabled.

You can try the LEDS hack (root) from the market.. I know it works on the inc, haven't tried it on the thunderbolt though I know it's not listed as "supported".. worth a shot
Could you point me in the direction I need to go?

Leds hack is a no go. Thanks though.

There are two LEDs at the bottom of the phone that light the keys. I accidentally covered them up when replacing my LCD so I have no backlight for the keys now and...I kinda like it! They aren't bleeding into the screen now too.

They can be disabled in the kernel.
You can disable them.by editing the framework also =)
App called "screen filter" has the option for it. Only lasts as long as its open though(runs in background, open in notifications). But it does work.

Ughh I've been trying to get this working for a week and no luck. Anyone have a good solid solution to disable the backlight?

Does anyone know how to permanently disable the softkey backlighting? Is it somewhere in the build.prop?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
You can use the screen filter app.. it can disable softkeys on the TB and if you don't want to reduce brightness just set it to 100 and to disable softkeys.

I've tried screen filter. It doesn't work for me. There has to be another way

I found an app to do exactly that...
Keyboard backlight controller. Free in Market, requires root.
I would like mine to go off after a few seconds while the screen stays on.

WOOOOOOOOOOW it really works!!!!!
I saw somewhere where you could set a setting that would keep your lcd on dim while charging the phone. Any ideas what it might be.
Thanks
Eddie
Yeah in the settings you cab have the screen stay on while charging

Can't you just lower the brightness? lol
Try Tasker, you can automate everything. Including this.
I been wanting to try that program.
I guess I give it a try today.

I'm coming from a galaxy nexus. I always used 240 dpi because I like things small on my screen. I have rooted and unlocked my s3 what's some dpi I can use? Can 240 be used? What's the lowest you can go and have everything still function? Anyone experiment with this yet?

From my experience 240 is the lowest you can go if you want all the apps in Google play to be compatible. Any lower and you run into compatible issues like you won't be able to install Netflix Facebook and a number of other high profile apps.
But I use 240dpi too and anything more seems way too big. So with any ROM I always change to 240 in build prob.

240 works with stock rom and touch wiz and stuff?

Yes 240 works with stock ROM (but I would think u need root in order to change the dpi)
And no touchwiz doesn't work in 240. You need another launcher like go launcher or apex launcher (the one I currently use at the moment)

I have always wondered about changing dpi within a ROM... is it similar in concept to changing resolution on your PC? Obviously your monitor retains its native resolution but the GPU is outputting something else?

If you change the DPI before you install a different luncher that when you start up ur device touchwiz will keep crashing, you will have to wait until Google play picks up that an app has an update in order for u to get to get to Google play to download the launcher.
If possible install the launcher first, then root, change DPI and ur all set.

They have apps in the market place that changes the DPI but I always set it myself through the build.prop. file
From my understanding its similar but not entirely the same. ur not taxing the GPU any more than normal. (As far as I know android doesn't use GPU to render the interface, its not entirely hardware accelerated)

Use nova launcher and set dpi to 240 and reboot. Loving it. Reminds me of my nexus.

The tablet mode is sweet but man it can be hard on old eyes viewing the small fonts.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using xda app-developers app
Yes it is. I had same problem so went back to reg phone mode.
However, did you set system font size to huge? That helped and made it possible to use tablet mode.
If you have ROM Toolbox you can also substitute larger system fonts. But sometimes the spacing gets messed up when you do that.

Thanks for making me picture an old man walking aimlessly with a magnifying glass pointed at his Thunderbolt while running into things...lol

Yes I made the font huge but also use the Ubuntu font which is my favorite.
I do have the Rom Toolbox Pro installed for blocking some ads; using fonts and additional features.
I just went back to the regular phone mode at 192 dpi. The Tablet mode put the Google Music widget directly behind the date/time widget on the lock screen.
All in all this Rom is the bomb. I will be glad when the Cam corder is working.
