Home button lights going off quickly

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

Soft button back light

Is there anyway to have it so the button back light times out if the Burton's aren't pressed or something like That? It is very distracting while watching Netflix or reading an ebook.

An app called Screen Filter from the Market allows you to turn off the buttons. I run this app right before I launch the Kindle app.

swipe Bottom 4 keys to unlock?

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?

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.

Maybe you could try "smart screen off"
Tap tap worked fine on my O3D but smart screen off is better

Add this to build.prop (system/build.prop) if it is already found change the value to 1 :-
Code:
ro.config.hwfeature_wakeupkey=1
This will let you unlock the phone by volum buttons too . if you want an app I think it will not work because when the phone goes into deepsleep all apps are stopped even the system .

Try Use THANKS Button If I Helped

AW: Lockscreen without powerbutton
Okay, thank you very much, but my powerbutton isnt broken, i only want to unlock it without powerbutton, because i think it is better so you dont use the powerbutton often.
I found apps, abd some users said they work :S

[Q] any way to disable s-Pen button screenshot feature?

I mean the function when you press and hold and it cuts a portion of the screen. I can't find a way to turn it off, it's really annoying when using other apps.

This really sucks in apps like Papyrus because you can't have the eraser tool on the button.
