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.

Of course. We've been doing that for years

You would need a kernel that supports it

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

Yes, but only in low light situations.
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.

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
Hi. Are the buttons supposed to light up? Mine don't. Is this normal?
They light up on mine.
It does look like it is controlled by the light sensor.

More specifically only in certain light conditions. The buttons rely on the light sensor to tell them when to light up.

Any way of stopping them lighting at night? Reason I ask is I use Gentle Alarm and when 'Night Display' is enabled they will remain on even when in Night Display mode I press the power button off then on and they still come on? Not had the problem on other phones.

Don't think it's on the market these days? I have found a copy but need to be rooted - but thanks for suggestion. I'll root at some point but my One S may need to be returned as currently in discussions with HTC over mobile network reception.
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??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
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.

Apparently there's an LED that only lights when the battery is too low to power up. I've never seen it.

if you have to have it (I like the active notifications better), you can use the xposed module Gravity Box to cause the buttons to flash with notifications. I'm sure there's other options that do the same though, but you run the risk of losing battery a lot faster (hence the purpose of active notifications)
There's an led on the back that's used with the camera....

So, since there is an XDA version, this is allowed. Of course, if you like the free version, support the dev.

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.
