I believe it's in Settings > CM Settings > Interface or Input > then just edit all of the profiles so that the LED's are set to not pulse at all.
Nope thats just for notifications. Therenis not an option to turn off the.touch key lights. You cam turn them off with an app or editing wled but ass soon as you shut the screen off or adjust brightness they come right back on.

Ohhh! That's what I thought you meant. Uhh, in MIUI, if you have the brightness all the way down, it shuts them off.

Go to the market and download the app called "Touch Key". Make sure your G2x is rooted, and set the slider all the way down, and you're set!

Nope. Not with CM7.2, you can set it down with touch key but it goes back up on its own

Does anyone know if there is something that can be edited in the build.prop that will enable the home keys to stay illuminated when the screen is on in dark settings? the keys go off so day and then you can't see them

no i dont think samsung puts that setting in there. hoowever you might be able to use an app called "keep the lights on" which will bind the backlights to screen on. that way they dont timeout at all
Yeah I was just wondering if there was a line that could be edited in the build.prop that you could change a standard value, like so many milliseconds to more milliseconds for the home keys alone. I wouldn't smythe entire display not timing out

Morning,
I tried it, but is says su not found?

Is there a way to make that work? you would just swipe from left to right or vice versa, the settings to search button, or backwards to unlock. Its a gesture method that I remember from my sisters HP laptop. She could swipe across all the capacitive shortcut keys at the top of the keyboard when the pc was off, and viola it would instantly turn on or start back up from sleep mode.
Thanks for suggestions!

Sweet idea! Not sure if it can be implemented...but it can be looked into!

Not sure if u mean unlocking after screen is turned on or unlocking from screen off state.
Activating this mode right from screen off state would mean power always being supplied to the touch sensitive keys, even in deep sleep mode, and result would be battery drain.
This might be a good idea after power is pressed and phone is out of sleep mode.
The lights can be constantly on and the battery drain is still irrelevant.
As for the OP, you can have the menu key unlock the phone.

old post but what i meant was to have it wake the phone and also unlock it to the home screen.
u should be able to have the bottom four buttons active all the time but with the lights off. also hitting any one or two buttons would do nothing. u would have to swipe all four to unlock and wake. or vice versa.

That'd be pretty cool but is there that much access to the hardware end to allow us to control what those buttons do?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA App
Not 100% sure about that but I do know that there was someone who was able to unlock with just touching one button. I think its doable.

There is an App called buttonremapper by beansoft here on xda. Has a version for sgs variants. I tried it and set my search button to power my screen on and off, but only puts the screen in an off state. Didn't wake my phone up.

So my power button is like broken.. and its giving me hell to "try" to fix it.. (i've opened the phone and started to touch it and move it.. to make it work).. so.. i don't want to use it anymore..
I was wondering if there is a way to wake up the phone using the volume up/down buttons.. or the menu buttons? i'm running CM10..
There is an option somewhere in settings called volume rocker wake.

Tasker has that capability when the "secure settings" plug-in is installed.
You could trigger it from a Tasker gesture (involves moving the phone in space) or shake... both of which are detected by accelerometer.
Edited to add: Andros' solution sounds simpler.
cool.. i found it under screen settings.. also.. is there a way to lock the screen WITHOUT touching the powerbutton?

I would like my home key to wake the device not bring me back to home screen.
I tried the methods in the following thread with no success. Anyone know what would work for our phones?

I also noticed that the same problem arises also when you long press the home button to get to recent apps, if you have an app open in the background at that moment and you press the home button to get out of the recent app screen, it closes the app!

Yea I know that, just like you can use the power button instead of the home button to wake the device and everything works fine. But it shouldn't be that way and it wasn't on ICS so why change it???

I think if anything the Home button is now working the way it should, taking you Home rather than back from Recents.

It wakes the device but closes open app and redirects to home screen.
If ur running a touchwiz ROM and don't elect to use voice it will do this. Open s voice and select to use home button. Problem solved.

When I press home it just wakes the device up, that's it.
S voice fixed the issue. Is it a battery drain at all because I don't plan on using it?

Thanks gonna try this. I hate waking with home key and it minimizes app that's open.

Problem is, when you re-enable s-voice and assign it to double clicking the home button, it brings back the lag when single clicking the home button and it breaks the custom shortcuts that I've made with the app home2 shortcut...
what are people talking about...the home button does wake the device. Am i missing something?
I have noticed since yesterday's Jelly Bean update (4.1.1) that if you have an app open (say a browser for example) and you let your screen timeout, when you press the home button it will turn the screen on screen up and take you back to your home screen. Used to with ICS it would just turn the screen on and you could continue in the app. Now it takes you all the way back home and you have to re-open the app to continue in it.
I was wondering if everyone is getting this same result or if it is just me.
Thanks!
I just tried it with Google Now and it returned to the app. I tried the Android browser and it returned the app as well. You might want to power down, pull the battery, then restart. Updates can sometimes act a little wonky at first. Occasionally (and unfortunately) a hard reset can FINALLY make an update work correctly.
Fixed this issue on my phone. The solution for me was to set up S-Voice, then go into it's settings and check the 'open via home key' option. After this, pressing the home key once simply wakes up the screen instead of also taking it to the home screen. Hope it works for you too!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Yea, that fixed it. I don't like S-Voice so I had that option turned off. Apparently it works different with this update then it did with ICS.
I've actually went in there and enabled that option then went into Application Management and disabled S-Voice. Now, if I accidently double tap my home button it just goes to a black screen for a second then back to the home screen. (Better than opening up S-Voice)
Thanks for your help!
I've found if you use a pattern password the home button "feature", to go back home works like how it used to
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Nice find! Now my dilemma is, whether the added "lag" when single tapping the home button is not as annoying as being taken to the home screen when pressing the home button after the screen times out. Having the double tap for S-Voice setting disabled speeds up that home button responsiveness.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I find the lag to be to annoying when s-voice is enabled. A fast press of the power button will wake up the phone without closing the app you are using and you can keep s-voice turned off.

grr, I couldnt agree more. I turned off that feature to reduce home button lag in ICS, now it closes any app open. Hopefully theres a fix
We'll find out. I dislike these small, unnecessary changes that Samsung has implemented. Horizontal pinch to expand notifications is another unnecessary change on VRBLK3.
