Button Leds Switch for CWM Recovery/xRecovery

Here's a convenient way to turn off (and then back on) the button leds on our X10 from recovery.
Those are the leds at the bottom of your X10, not the notification led.
Thanks to Adolf1994 for the original script.
It can also be done by copying/deleting a single file instead, but it's more convenient to use this from recovery after installing a new rom.
The new version is for the CWM Recovery
It installs in init.d and includes a solution for roms using Fera Engine v10. On those roms permissions of the brightness file are changed after anything in init.d is run so the nobuttonleds script is also run at the end of hw_config.sh.
CWM version
Should work on any rom with working /etc/init.d or /etc/init.d and hw_config.sh
Tested on:
DiXperia X/10 with DXEngine
Xrecovery version
The /etc/init.d folder needs to be properly working on the rom you use. (thanks to My_Immortal for pointing that out!)
tested on:
- WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread
- ThJap's 2.3 ThGo2 v1.3
If it doesn't work on the rom you use and you have root, try this:
- add this line to /etc/install-recovery.sh (check first if busybox is in xbin or bin):
/system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
or
/system/bin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
- another way is to use the Script Manager way explained here.
Installation
- copy on your SD card
- start CWM Recovery or xRecovery, install as custom zip
The change is permanent: the button leds will be turned off everytime you boot until you install another rom or you decide to turn them on.

thanks but i prefer to keep them ON

Not working
noled.zip + Script Manager working!

AlgerK70, could it be that you already copied noled.sh as 50-noled in /etc/init.d ? If so you need to delete it first, or else the leds will stay "on".
After booting, turn the screen on then off to see if it works.

and who's supposed to execute the script at boot?

The little green Android in your phone!
Edit:
The script is executed by the system, it's installed in /etc/init.d, a folder pretty much like the Startup folder on your computer.

Which bottom led u r talking about...??
I can't see!!

No, it's not.
init.d folder doesn't work on the latest stock SE kernel.
We need to wait for custom kernels to run scripts at boot from init.d.

It's the 2 white leds between the hardware buttons. The ones that are so annoying when reading an ebook in the dark on low luminosity because they keep turning on

Please try it, "ButtonLedsOFF" only copies one file to your phone, it won't overwrite anything. To "revert" if it doesn't work, install "ButtonLedsON" and it will remove the file. Please try, and if it works, report here, thanks

It's hard to provide flashable .zip since you guys need to edit your build.prop. I can make flashable .zip but specyfied for my ROMs.

change ownership of the file to root user and root group.
0 == root

I saw this in the HD2 forums as well, however it was generally concluded that there were additional changes in the xperia framework files missing in none Sony builds, leaving this method having no effect. Everyone to their own though I guess if you think it makes a difference as is.

i'm not sure since i'm on stock rom
but i strongly doubt it, may be on cm9
any feedback welcome though

I put it on CM 9 and don't have problems for now.
PS: I test it - in photo mode does not have problems, in video mode it capture, but you do not see movements when record, after record playing is ok and everything is there, panorama mode allways FC.

Well, this can't work well on devices with low class SD's (write speeds).

[MOD] Mobile Bravia Engine 2

Hello there, I just browsed through the Xperia T forums and found this mod and I've tested this mod on CM9 on my Galaxy W, I want to share this to you. The Mobile Bravia Engine 2, as explained:
Mobile BRAVIA Engine2: An evolution of Mobile BRAVIA Engine delivering an ever better viewing experience by adding a new real-time contrast optimisation and improving sharpness enhancement on top of high quality colour management and noise reduction.

If you want to try, you can download this file first:
braviaengine2.zip
Extract its contents, I've put them on the location folder, example:
The content of etc/ to system/etc/
The content of lib/ to system/lib/
Set their permissions to rw-r--r--. And then, add these lines to build.prop:
Code:
ro.service.swiqi2.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi2.enable=1
Save, reboot. Do fix permissions from CWM. Install the contents of app folder like normal apks

Of course you won't see any difference if you don't take any photo of bright object in a dark room. I often test it by taking photo of a yellow flower in my yard, the difference is the color of the flower is brighter if I use bravia.
And I know that SL's camera is slightly better than my W's camera

{DEV}[APP] Touchpads Fixer Application

Hello there Xperia PLAY forum!
So, after an entire week of work, I can release my first android application here:
it is an utility to enable touchpads on any rom that is supported (if you want me to support your rom, please post here) .
Description:
It is composed by 2 main apps (or code-talking by 2 main Activities):
A build.prop fixer
A flashable.zip extractor
The build.prop fixer basically modifies some of your build.prop values to match these values, in order to have a proper recognition of the device by games or apps.
The flashable.zip extractor extracts into your sdcard (into a path specified by the app itself) a flashable.zip which contains the fixed framework.jar and the Touchpads Activator app by farenheith for the rom you choose.​
Sources
Here​
APKs

So here we are! If you find any bug just let me know.

Changes into v1.0.1:

added credits to krisdee as well

Well it's quite simple, but you can't use adb since adb executable isn't available on android, but still, you can use busybox instead;
the way I use to execute a cmd via, for example, a press of a button, is to define a Process and a Runtime.
Then you can obtain su permissions (in the OnClick method) by using the Process you defined, like this:
Code:
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su" );
Then I use a DataOutputStream to exec other cmds (like mv or cp...)
Example to mount /system (where "//" starts comments:
Code:
[COLOR="Lime"]//Defining a DataOutputStream[/COLOR]
DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(process.getOutputStream());
[COLOR="Lime"]//Using the defined DataOutputStream (os) to exec the command[/COLOR]
os.writeBytes("mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system\n" );
I'm busy these days, but ask me if you need anything (I'm not a java developer though lol)

Hiya I hope that you are still around, I am still interested in the xperia play especialy as it looks like kitkat will come out for it any time soon. I am having trouble with the touchpads on my xperia play
I have a Jellybean rom, called SONYCM10 FINAL perfect in every way BUT a major issue that i was not expecting.
Touchpad Activator which is included in the build fails to work when pressing the (activate just for this app) button, it came back with
Error 1: android.view.ViewRoot, the touchpads failed to work in anything
I then installed your touchpad fixer, i have clicked the framework and buildprop buttons and restarted into recovery mode (lupus jb v13) and installed from zip file the framework (I gather that this is how you flash it?). When i restart the phone and test the touchpads there is still no recognition AND when i go back into your fixer app it still says text in red that i have still not fixed my buildprop. I also coppied the framework manually into my system folder and overwrote the original with the new one just incase the installer was not working.
What am I missing? am I not flashing it properly or what? Again I did not flash but just installed from recoverymode the framework zip...
The only thing I can think of that I have not tried is to extract your buildprop somehow and manually overwrite the one in my system directory?
Any Help would be most welcome...
