same question,any app cant wake up phone by volume button ?
i used LightLock to light on htc chacha proximity sensor,but it's not convenient.

Good question that, my keyboard is always going dark just when I don't want it to/when I'm typing.

I found Keyboard Backlight Controller on market but it doesn't work on chacha

nobody care about using another key to wake up htc chacha ????????

Solution~
you can just hit the app icon to switch keypad backlight between
off mode
and
system control mode

The application works!
I'm always a bit suspicious of these kind of things coupled with Chinese writing when it's run-but avg was happy and when it asks for root I've allowed but not "remembered" the permission. Yet.
Thanks

the best way is holding finger on sensor... :laugh::cyclops::good:

The best way is to decompile framework-res.apk and edit /res/values/arrays.xml
There are stored backlight settings and you can edit them to stay on all the time, or on any level you want.
And then compile apk and push it to system/framework

Please some one help me

Hello guys I have note 10.1 N8000 4.1.1 each time I rotate screen or when I long press any icon on home screen or app drawer it vibrate
I try to disable everything related to vibration in settings > sounds but that dosen't help can anyone help ? Thanks in advance

Make sure everything related tl vibrate is disabled. Even check accessibility settings also. Then once you know all of it is off, restart the tablet. Hopefully That will do the trick. If not, there might be an app causing it.

There is a setting in power saving that allows you to disable vibration system-wide, overriding all other settings and apps that may vibrate.

I did but didn't find anything related to vibration in accessibility and it still vibrate I think I will live with it :\

[Q] wake up screen when notification arrives

hi, there is an app or a mod\tweaks that allow to turn on the screen (without unlock) when a notification arrives and when the screen turns off (after 5/6 seconds) the led continue to blink until the notification will read?? I use ROM based on 4.2.2. I found SCREEN NOTIFICATION (on play store) works but... when the screen turns off the LED stop to blink!!!!:crying:
thanks for the advice! :fingers-crossed:

I know there's options in Tweaks when you have a custom ROM on a rooted phone. However, give this a whirl! It's completely free from the play store: look up SMS WakeUp it sounds like what you're looking for, not sure if it does the notification light like you wanted, but i'd imagine it would. I haven't posted more than 10 posts here, otherwise I'd post the link here.
Let me know if it works.

With Tasker you can do that, I think, in Secure Settings plugin there is an option to wake up the screen, and as I remember, there is also a function to let the led blink.

There isn t any ROM tweaks. And SMS wakeup doesn t let the led blinking when the screen turn off.

Profile is activated when notification comes in, then if Screen is off -> Secure Settings Screen on, wait 5 seconds and Notify LED. Maybe you can add something that the Notification will be deleted when read. This is just created on my mind, if I knew how to export a profile I will try to do one for you

Soft key Leds Notifications v0.3 (Root)

This is an application I made for my phone to keep the button leds on when we receive a phonecall or SMS only.
Needs root access.
May harm your phone, I do not take any responsibility. Use it at your own risk.
i don t know what may happen if the leds are on for days. May harm them
my phone is i9105p.
official rom
root
android 4.2.2
I9105PXXUBMI1
KERNEL 3.0.31-1743918
BUILD NUMBER I9105PXXUBMI3
The Activate button enables the service.
The Deactivate button disables it.
the java code (3 classes)
Make sure task manager dont kill it. In Settings you can enable notification (prevent android task manager to kill it).
V.0.1
now works even if the event find the screen on
notification - prevent auto close. (no option to turn notification off yet, but i tried to keep it unoticable)
The only way to close is by android task manager which calls ondestroy command. (exit button to add)
V0.2
Settings:
- Screen timeout adjustable - propably help with other devices (set how much time takes the phone to close the screen when the event wakes the screen.)
- path to brightness editable
- notification to prevent android task manager on / off
V0.3
two mini bug fixed
1. (maybe) app does not respond on message receive when service is off.
2. now it does not lock led brightness (may caused issues with other apps)
How it works:
Activate / DeActivate Service from app.

It only works if
echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness;
(or any path for your device's brightness works)

Hi!
Thanks for your help in the other thread! Unfortunately my led brightness path is different so your app is not working on my device.
Would you mind if I use your code in order to develop an app suitable for my specific device?

try in terminal emulator
su
echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
(or any path for your device's brightness)
it should light the leds.
and then turn off the screen without pressing back or menu, (they light the leds)
if the leds keep lighted while the screen is off, then propably it will work. if not then the kernel restrictions apply to your rom.

They keep on, but they don't get on, if the device is already locked.

This is why I keep the screen on for 11 seconds. this way when the event comes:
1. android lights the screen and the lights for 10 seconds (by default of android)
2. android ask them both to turn off (after 10 seconds) -
But the screen is still on as I asked. :good:
So a second later (11 seconds) I turn on the lights and release the screen. (turns off unless you unlocked it)
try not to interact with your phone if you want to test it since you receive the sms or the missed call, cause then the lights wont start. (since you already saw the event)

it worked for me but .. 1st the led they are not bright ... you can't see them clearly .... and they just stay tuned ..if you can make them blink good luck ....

I think you should check https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=neldar.bln.control.free&hl=de.
The soft key driver in our kernel sources is drivers/input/touchscreen/coreriver_touchkey/
The app is incompatibel with our device, but maybe something similar would be possible

BLN control this application needs feature enabled in the kernel ... you need to path the corect driver to support it i tried it ... ... this project it is better it uses libs ... i think there is app it uses lib like this ... but it work just when the screen is on .. it kills when is off .. but this app it work ... the problem it is not bright .. and it needs blink ..

here is an example, how the support for the app is added, but our device uses a complete different touchkey diver
https://github.com/dmore70/kernel-GB-I9000/commit/d69303cae38bf1f6efe36aceab492d9bb8bc0ac3
BTW I found a way to increase the brightness of the keys, while the device is locked and blinking leds would kill our battery

I will try add a handler to execute
echo 255 > /sys/class/leds/button backlight/max_brightness
after the screen is off. probably since the brightness is 1,
it will allow me to play with brightness level. and simulate blinks. I will try if it works later.
As always feel free to edit the code yourself!

I found the brightness values in kernel, the thing you want to do won't change anything i guess

they wont kill battery if make them blink every 7 or 8 sec ... blink for have second .. stay off for 8 sec .. and blink ..
you meant you must change them in the kernel .. may be you can override setting

Yep. tried it but it wont allow changes. not even with screen on.

So now I could succesfully build kernel, now I'm hanging with modding our lights.goldfish https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_generic_goldfish/blob/cm-10.2/lights/lights_qemu.c like https://github.com/neldar/liblights_gt-i8190/blob/master/lights.c . Maybe anyone of you can help me ?

Where can we find our official's kernel light file? Can you upload it? propably it has different inputs than those.

date & time settings opens during a call

am i the only one that ends a call with the "date and time settings" screen open?
apparently, the notification's screen opens during the call (with my cheek or somehow) and the clock on the top left side get touched which opens the "date and time settings" screen...very annoying !

No, you're not the only one!!
I use a flip cover and i close it during a call, i think the proximity sensor is so sensible..
Anyway, are you rooted or stock? Because with the stock rom appened too much, with custom rom a little bit less..

I'm using the stock rom...not rooted. Is there some kind of a fix but changing rom?

If you are having this problem and youre not rooted you can simply press the power button once you accept the call. You wouldnt face the problem then.

i believe that a smart phone should be smart on its own ...i'm not supposed to help it be smart
it has a sensor that should work properly.
and if i had root?

You had a problem. I gave you a simple solution. Its upto you to do what you want. If you had root you could recalibrate your sensor.

Date & time opens after call FIX
I'm using HTC Desire HD with samsung rom, and this issue happened to me as well. However, I've managed to find rom options under settings and there I've put automatic sleep whenever I turn off the screen instead of 5 seconds on default. Also I've found that pressing the small clock in the upper left/right corner opens date and time and I disabled that option... since then I've had no problems with my phone... I hope this helps
