Not sure this is the place to ask this but here goes. Is there any way to completely disable the volume toggle buttons on the side of the phone? I'm not rooted at the moment if that matters.

So I have this idea for an app. Yes, I know it's been done before (Button Savior), but I'm looking for something different. I want something that will allow me to resize my screen usage space to accommodate the soft buttons to be present full-time and not interfere with the usage of my phone. And I want it to mimic the look and feel of the Galaxy Nexus soft buttons. Does anybody know of an app of this caliber?

Bump cause I want a better one than VBB I didn't really like it

Not having a notification light stinks are there any fixes out there?
A home button flashing or screen flashing? something....
Thanks

Give this a shot, closes thing to what you are talking about.
Unfortunately, BLN no longer works and is supported on any kernels for our devices.
is there a way to add it? or change the other toggles?
I don't know why it doesn't in the normal toggle area, but considering it annoys you in the lower notification about it (and you can turn it on from there), you don't really need it in the normal toggle area (even though it'd be nicer to have it there).

The easy way to say it... verizon decided to take a beautiful phone and **** it up.

I couldn't believe it wasn't in there either, I mean ..wtf?
Is it just me or are the softkeys really bright on the s2?
Well, ive gone on google and tried to find the answer, but seems like there is not a way to possibly reduce the brightness of the softkeys itself.
However, before i give up (i find those softkeys useful, but hard to use at night as its too bright, and turning off the function is difficult to use) I was wondering if its possible without rooting, by using a 3rd party app.
Thanks

That's an interesting idea. The brightness issue made me turn off that light all together (running CM9). I found the light so distracting when using my phone to read a book or something in a dark room at night...
I hope someone chimes in with an idea.
.
Seriously doubt its possible without root.... with root, the only ones i can find just turn them off.. havent seen anything that just dims.
Would definitely say impossible without root, as you need to edit system files to alter hardware functions. I don't believe there is a variable anywhere to edit that though, because I've only ever seen their functions to be off and on with all the phones I've used that have had them. Just my 2 cents, but I'm sure a skilled dev could give you a better opinion.

Darn alright thanks for your posts!
Hopefully a dev could give his $0.02, as i would believe it would make the softkeys more usable throughout the day and night.
i think over time you get use to it. i turned my keys off and i have no problem navigating.

That's true. But I think to me its that little add on that makes everything nicer. However, just my opinion though.

Use the app screen filter. It will allow you to dim the buttons. Not sure if root is needed or not tho.

Didn't work for me either, however, I like the the function of the app for screen brightness.
What rom are you guys on? I'm on AOKP B40 and screen filter worked perfectly. Much easier to dim than with Lux, and back light for keys turned off and on perfectly.

Wont work. The leds used can not be dimmed. They are a two stage light. On/off

I'm not sure exactly how these specific leds work, but I know with store bought leds, you can use what's called multiplexing which makes them flash faster than your eye can see, but slow enough that it seems as if they are dimmer...not sure if there is a way to lower the speed or if you can even make them flash at all (constantly)
You could also maybe look for a night mode from a third party app to change settings at a certain time

That said.. I wonder if its safe to have a an app to lower voltage/amps to these leds.
