I designed a simple app that disables the backlight for the capacitive keys. It also installs an init.d script that disables them at each boot, meaning you can uninstall this app after using it, if you wish.
Perfect for roms that have a navbar but no option to disable the button lights, or anyone who doesn't need the glow to tell you where your buttons are.
I tested this on SkimKat. I'd like to know if it works on JB roms.

Does it have an option to undo the init.d script after it runs? Can it do it on the fly or does it require a reboot?

Sorry about the delay. Does it disable the backlight at all or is it only after a reboot that it fails? Does your rom support init.d?
Also, my app only disables the light, not the actual button.

If it doesn't persist it's because your rom doesn't support init.d. You could try another kernel for now. I'm dabbling at support for roms without init.d, but I hate to make my app run at boot.

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.

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
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
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.

This is a port of this mod for the Epic 4g, and should get rid of that phantom voicemail notification permanently.
Thanks to danipoak for making this mod known to me.
It is always a good idea to create a nandroid before flashing just in case something goes wrong.
This zip simply replaces the Phone.apk with the modded version.
160 DPI Support for AOKP Milestone 5.2 with Phantom VM Fix
Phantom VM Fix for AOKP Build 31
Just flash in CWM/TWRP
A few issues with 160 dpi:
The long-hold home recents will break, so I recommend installing Search to Recents for MS5.2 I quickly threw together: Search to Recents for Milestone 5.2
(thanks to bodi524 and MrLuje)
An alternate fix is to go to Settings > Rom Control > General UI > Long press home action > Show recents and then reboot.
The recents thumbnail is cut off
The power menu breaks - you'll be presented with "Your phone will shut down" instead of options to reboot and so on.. I haven't found a solution for this yet.
For CM9 Beta 1, 2, and AOKP Build 32 there is now a setting to disable the voicemail notification in the Phone app settings as explained here.
If the toggle does not seem to be taking effect try this.

Nope, it should be completely gone.

None. The phone.apk is completely different, so why would any of these work with MIUI v4?
But speaking of which, OP you should do this for the phone.apk in MIUI v4 as well.
Thanks a mint for releasing the AOKP mod. Made my day.
Hi guys, thanks to the invaluable help of users Wesley32 and jug6ernaut, I've managed to port my Recent Apps key mod to the AT&T version of the G2. See the original verizon thread for details. In short, it replaces the Menu Key with Recent Apps, and allows you to Long Press on home to pull up the menu.
To install, flash ATT_RecentAppsKeyMod_v0.2.zip using TWRP.
Update 10/1
I've merged this with burningmember's no-carrier, no-brightness and no-volume slider mod from this thread
Here's the version with the black status bar: ATT_RecentAppsKey-NoVolume-NoBrightness-BlackBar.zip
And with the stock gray status bar: ATT_RecentAppsKey-NoVolume-NoBrightness.zip
I've also included a mod that will force apps to display the "vertical ellipsis" Action Bar overflow menu. To install it, flash ATT_EnableActionBarOverflowMenu_v0.2.zip. Be aware that enabling the overflow menu will put a big ugly menu button at the bottom of any activity that has a menu but doesn't have an action bar, including the built-in Settings and Phone apps.
Please note that you need to flash both ATT_EnableActionBarOverflowMenu_v0.2.zip and one of the SystemUI mods if you want the Recent Apps key mod and the overflow menu. The overflow menu mod will work by itself also, if you don't care about changing the nav bar.
*** Reverting ***
If you decide this isn't for you, flash ATT_RevertSefnapMods.zip, which will restore the stock versions of all affected files, namely:
Code:
/system/app/LGSystemUI.apk
/system/app/LGSystemUI.odex
/system/framework/android.policy.odex
/system/framework/framework.odex
Please let me know if anything is broken or if you have any problems installing.
Thanks, and enjoy!
I'm assuming this will replace the navbar size mod so could you make versions in the same sizes? I really like freeing up some space with the medium size. This is awesome though I will definitely flash this over the size mod. Just something I was wondering. Thank you for this, man. Awesome work.
Edit: just flashed and the size mod is still applied. Awesome work. This is great. Thank you so much. My status bar mod, however reverted back to stock. Any idea how I could get them working together? I was using the black status bar w/ sliders mod for at&t.

Is this compatible with the Canadian D803 as well?
Anyone got a screenshot what the version with the black status bar looks like?
Also this is flashable over the stock odexed ROM, right?
Not sure about the other mods, but flashing the on-screen overflow menu action bar will soft brick the D803.
Don't flash for d800, your phone won't get passed the boot screen.
My recommendation for replacing the Menu button by Recent Apps is to use the Xposed framework. I was able to do it with the G2 TweaksBox module 2.0 RC3.
Is there anything I can do to let me get the phablet ui . I know paranoid android doesn't have hybrid settings yet and pacman isnt officially released so is there a way ?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
The phablet ui no longer exists. Google removed it.
There were 2 things before:
Tablet/Phablet layout of SystemUI - This changed how status bar, notification drawer and navigation buttons were laid out. Google dropped the native implementation (which PA used) for kitkat. Any future implementation of this will need to be completely custom. I haven't seen that anyone has managed this yet
Tablet layout of apps - this is different. App developers may want their app to appear differently on a tablet than on a phone so they develop the app to change at a certain dpi (generally tablets have lower dpi). This still exists. It can be triggered by dropping the dpi to something that will make your eyes bleed or by using xposed+app settings module, which allows per app control of the layout using the "screen (dp)" option
Hope this helps

As the creator of many toolboxes for Motorola devices over the past 4 years I decided to try my hand at merging my toolbox with this new fangled thing called xPosed framework. This is where Project Ameliorate Toolbox comes in.
This toolbox is an extension of not only my previous works but I also imported parts of GravityBox as well as built my own parts for the xPosed portion of this toolbox.
** Gravity Box Parts **
I cherry picked some parts from GravityBox, these parts were picked because they work best on the X, and they are what I use.

The "exit an application" on back button is not how Android handles the life cycle of apps. The OS will take you back one stack (view, etc.), so if you are in an application with multiple views then the back button will keep going backwards through views until you eventually get back to the home screen.
