I was wondering if there is a way to completely disable the capacitive buttons on the PACman ROM and just use the navigation bar. There are mods for the GS3 on cm10 but I can't find anything for the one xl.
There an app on the play store search capactive buttons

If this is the one you are talking about I already have it installed and while it lets me turn off the LED back-light it does not disable the buttons. If this is not the one could you guide me to the one you are talking about?

Sorry, I misread. But you may be able to modify the keylayout. Save the original first. Then:
Root your phone. Get a file explorer that can use the root to edit system files. Go to system, usr, keylayout, and open generic.kl with a text editor, find keys 158 and 139 and put a "#" sign in front of both. Save the file and reboot phone. Then use the app to disable the light. They should now be disabled. For the third button it may be 128 but you are going to have to experiment.

Okay, Touch key lights too bright on your G2X? Two ways to fix this... First, the app, which is easiest for most people:
-------------
(note: This is NOT my app. Just sharing it with you guys)
LG Optimus 2x touch key lights
Little tool for LG Optimus 2x & G2x phones only that allows the user to change the touch key lights brightness levels. The desired brightness level can then be set up on startup.
Root access is not needed except for the new G2x Gingerbread update.
Warning, this application is not and will not be compatible with touch key notifications mechanisms.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.guenmat.android.optimus2x
-----------
The other is the TECHIE way... by changing the value directly! You can change the touch key brightness FROM THE SHELL with the following command:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/star_touch_led/wled
.
Possible values are 1-20, where 20 is the brightest. Though honestly 15-20 all looked the same to me. You can set higher, but I'm not sure if it is safe for your touch keys. 0 would be OFF.
Now, you can type that in through adb shell, but you'd lose it when you reboot. So, if you have a Rom that supports init.d scripts, you can add it at the end of one of the scripts in /system/etc/init.d.
If you don't have init.d scripts, you can also use TASKER with the LOCAL EXECUTE plugin. If you do, make sure to put a ! in front of the command so it executes as root.
I know, sparse, but I had to figure this out on my own and now you don't.
here is an app that does the same thing as the one you said PLUS it makes your 4 touch led lights blink when you have a missed called, mms, and gmail (hello notification lights)
https://market.android.com/details?...2xtouchlednotifications&feature=search_result
you dont need root access for froyo but you need it for GB
Interesting, is there a similar app that makes it so the lights are always on (dimmed, of course)?
This has been out for a while. The Custom Roms have this built in at a kernel level so it doesn't always run in the background and drain your batteries like a mofo.

well i haven't found it for weapon g2x if it has it on the kernel :/ , so i am using that app, is also great for someone that is running a stock gb rooted, like the 2.3.4 that is running arround

Actually, the ONLY custom Rom I've noticed that had anything close was MIUI (which you're using). In MIUI, the touchkey brightness was linked to screen brightness, all the way down to the lowest setting where it would be off. Nice, but not helpful to those of us who don't like the rest of the bugs present in MIUI. Also, I haven't seen any battery drain from this...

Good to have choices. I tried that one first. I didn't see the option to just change brightness, and I don't really want the notifications. I guess which one you choose depends on what you need.

Thanks. Ill try them both. I like the flashing buttons for notification option

i like this app!
If you're using a stock rom you can always go into LG's hidden menu and adjust the touch LED brightness. Using your dial pad dial 1809#*999# and it will open the hidden menu. From there select Device Test and then scroll all the way down and select Touch LED Brightness. Adjust the slider and you're good to go. You can do this whether or not you're rooted. The only catch is that it resets when you reboot the phone so you have to do it again with each reboot.

anyone have the led notification app working on weapon rom? I tried installing it and just get a force close.
Op updated with a method to do this WITHOUT an app. I know, I'm spoiling it for those SELLING apps to do just this, but hey... whatchagonnado.
Super useful to use tasker for this, thanks so much.

I'm really enjoying AOKP over HTC's flavor of ICS, but there's one thing that really bothers me, and that's the app switching behavior. I know a lot of people prefer having a dedicated menu key, but I honestly don't care for it. I'd much rather use the on-screen menu buttons and have a dedicated key for app switching. Is there any way to change this behavior to mimic stock ICS, or is this something integral to AOKP and cannot be changed by a menu setting?
In a root explorer go to
system/usr/keylayout
and edit
/system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl
Then change the
249 to APP_SWITCH
Then there is line from Build.Prop that needs to be removed
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

Or you could just hold down the home button which brings up the app switcher and then u have the best of both worlds

Did you reboot? And does the key work properly? Maybe in aosp roms don't need to have that line, it may auto detect and give you a menu key.

After I rebooted, the app switch key now brings up an icon-based Recent list, not the ICS task switcher. Also, apps still don't have any in-app menu keys. Going to revert so I can use apps properly again.

Unfortunately, it seems that until I've reached a whopping 10 posts, I'm unfit to ask a relevant question in the appropriate development thread. I guess I'll just have to wait till I do hit 10 posts, or just hope that one of the devs sees the thread. Thanks anyhow.

I don't know if there's an option to disable the capacitive keys in Settings, but it's feasible to remap the buttons to nothing in /system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl.
Need to change the function of the right soft key and open the following files
edited -> CY8C-touchkey.kl and projector-keypad.kl
You make a backup of the original files.
These are at -> / system / usr / keylayout (root required)
CY8C-touchkey.kl
Write behind key 249 MENU VIRTUAL (delete the word APP_SWITCH write the word MENU ).
The same make in this file ->
projector-keypad.kl
Then a reboot and the right soft key opens the menu and not the last used apps.
If you like it, hit thanks
Worked perfectly. Thanks a lot. I searched for this for a long time now! Is there any way to bind the multitasking to the home button (long press)? And do you know a way to remove the three dot menu?

Edit the file: /system/build.prop
Add: qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to the bottom of the build.prop file
Do a reboot and the three dot menu is gone,The three dot menu button will appear if the app has not coded for a menu button.
Why not use the option in display gestures AMD buttons to change 3rd button function

Go to "Settings" -> "Display, Finger(...) and Buttons" -> "Button for last Apps"
Or something like that, i only got the german version and translated my Menu.
There you got the Option to remap the Right Softkey and you can save the effort of this tutorial.
I guess you have 4.0.4 because I can't find that in on my device (I have 4.0.3)

You're right, i've got the 4.0.4 it could be a 4.1 sense function.
Mh ... it's a mess they didn't implement it directly in the first release.
And the bad thing is: I can't update I have a S3 device.
Hello all,
I recently installed CM10 nightly cm-10-20121012-nightly-evita on my HTC One XL. pretty much everything works great and I am liking the experience. Now I am coming from older cm7 tablet background and very new to HTC One X and CM10 etc. What I find missing is a missing settings button in the applications that I am used to which helps me configure the app. Am I missing something or is there a new way to get things configured ?
An example would be a simple app called basic stock. I add a stock to it and can not add any more stocks because there is no settings button. On my cm7 tablet I am able to do it easily. Similar experience with many other apps.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Deepee
Go to the settings app, when in there look for system and click on it. On the bottom it should say hardware keys, click on that.
At the bottom should be the setting for 3 button menu and I would advise to set another action with the home or apps button to bring up the menu with long press.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
i always remap the keys and also enable the 3dot, i think these should be set as the default settings.

This might be a stupid question but.
I have 4.2.1 now on my HTC One S thanks to Dark Jelly, but how do I get to My Apps, and My Wishlist in the playstore?
I'm not sure how that rom exactly works, but try holding down the recent apps button for context menu.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Yea holding that down does nothing.
Might be a problem with the ROM, not sure. I guess I should post over there.
*yup, a setting on the rom.
Settings-- system-- hardware keys
From there you can set one of the keys to be a shortcut to the menu (long press recent apps key is what I use). Hope that is what you're looking for...
