Yes. Only in certain light conditions.

Where did you hear this? I wish that there was a setting for the backlights; even very old "feature" phones had options for duration of keypad backlights.

There was a thread about it some time ago and one guy emailed Sammy and that's what they replied with.

why in the world would they make the keys backlit if they're gonna change their minds and try to disable it later?? doesn't make sense to me... although if they really wanted to it shouldn't be that hard, it's something within the kernel judging from how our devs have been able to get stuff like BLN working with some some kernel hacking

Sky ICA cannot screen cap

I just flashed to sky ics yesterday and I everythings works fine except I cannot take a screen cap and I have tried both method, volume down with power and power with home button. Also I can't seem to have my home keys button vibrate.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You

How exactly are you trying to take the screenshot?? Are you pressing power + home at the same time and holding?? I just tried it and it worked
And as far as the vibrating goes, is "vibrate on screen tap" checked under sound settings??

home+power . Timing is a little more critical than it should be AFAIK.. push power a split second before home and hold both for a second or so.

Thank You guys for that quick reply
The Vibrate thing was just me being stupid and could not turn it back on Thanks lilair and stoopendis, but yea i tried everything with the screen cap and still doesn't work, it used to work fine with just power button and home before i flash. My buddy who also flashed to sky ics and his screen cap worked fine too, he also has the same update.

Geez that's too bad. I gotta tell you though... it took me a while to get the sequence/timing down. I swore up and down it didn't work! But persistance paid off and I have my sc now although sometimes it takes a fee trys.

i know it isnt a fix but i used to use an app called "screenshot" from the app store..it allowed you to shake the phone to get a screenshot

Yea think I will just do Third party app or just flash to CNET just for fun lol

The easiest way to screencap on ICS is press home for a split second then hold power for roughly half a second while still pressing Home.

LED Notification LED(IDEA)

I know the Skyrocket doesn't have any LED notification LED's on it. But I was wondering if there's a way for people to make the buttons on the phone light up if you get a notification. Like menu button lights up when you get a text, home button lights up when you get another type of notification, et cetera, et cetera. Was just wondering anyways.

Diablo Kernel used to support BLN but we decided to remove it because with BLN vibration was hit or miss.

So, this will turn on Assist if it's plugged into AC? Do you have plans for Tasker integration?

I haven't had a chance yet to try this...will try sometime this weekend...is there any thoughts to also having this turn on when headphones are plugged in?
Thanks for making this!

Very cool!
I was just telling my co-worker (we work for ATT & both have Moto Xs) that this is exactly what someone will make soon ... and BAM here it is!
Works great thank you!

This app is great! One thing though if you could look into it please, with screen rotation locked it still rotates the screen and then I'd get a black screen with my clock widget in the left or right middle of the screen. I'll try to take a screen shot of it when I can recreate it.

I was unaware, OP still needs to update the OP to reflect this.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

anyways.....
anyone using the app notice the home and mulitask buttons are slightly larger than the back key?
edit: original post updated...

I'm using SoftKeysz and observing some "ghosting" behavior where the "up graphic" ^ overlays the home key, which causes the home key to stop responding. the only fix is a reboot. Anyone else experiencing this behavior and/or have a fix i might try? thanks!
EDIT: Fixed, something related to XBlast or GravityBox options i selected. I thought i had disabled them, but i didn't. I disabled both apps and ghosting went away, will have to see which option (if any) was the causing my problem.

Hey man how the heck are ya? Looks like you decided to go HTC to I see. I got fed up with the Note 3, and gotta say this was a great replacement.

Anyone having problems with the size of some of the softkeys? It seems to be enlarging them.

By chance did you backup your stock m8 keys is softkeyz? If so can you attach them here? I did not backup mines and the ones available in-app don't have the stock find button.

Mine themed, but most of the time one button (in my case the recents)...was huge. and wouldn't correct itself for some reason, even if I used GravityBox to shrink the Navbar. No idea...guess I'll wait for the next update..I really like it though - lots of cool designs on there.
