[Q] No disable soft keys backlight settings? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can I disable soft keys backlight without power saving? Is no longer in the settings of the Galaxy s6.

I don't believe theres a setting for it, I've looked and looked, I like to set it to 6 seconds but its nowhere to be found.

Yeah I think you need to root and install a custom Rom or xposed (if that's possible yet)

Please refer to my earlier post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60009456&postcount=12 and/or use the search function.

The ATT version has this setting under Display. It's weird that the other versions don't have that setting.

How can I run adb for this fix? Can some one help me to run adb..

The post above has instructions on how to to that

I just ran terminal emulator from my phone and entered "settings put system button_key_light 0" and they are disable for good.

Capacitive Lights Off
Two ways ,
1. The observe the power saving mode turns it off by default.
2. This message is from the user/developer @Averix in one of the S6 thread,
"That thread covers the ADB method. I wrote an app that doesn't require root to set the values to whatever you want from .5 - 10 seconds on, off/on all the time."
Galaxy Button Lights
Hope this helps

[Tutorial] Lockscreen, Home Key, Power Menu not working

This guide attempts to solve the following problems:-
1. The menu and home buttons' keypresses are detected but the respective actions aren't executed.
2. The lockscreen doesn't get activated.
3. The power menu has only reboot and power off as options. The rest of the options like Airplane Mode and Profiles.
PREREQUISITES:
1. ADB
2. SQLITE3
FIX:
1-Copy sqlite3 to /system/bin
2- chmod 777 /system/bin/sqlite3
3-Type following command in ADB or Terminal Emulator
Code:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO secure (name,value) VALUES ('device_provisioned','1');"
4- Reboot
5- Done
This guide is based upon this post.
Have you tested this? Does this fix the anoying bug when you press menu and nothing happens so you have to press 2-3 times? Will the phone wake on back/menu press? Mine takes 2-3 clicks to wake with menu/back key, this is not the case with eclair.
2. The lockscreen doesn't get activated. - What do you mean by this? Is it when the lockscreen takes 1-2 seconds to appear after waking the phone? - this doesn't happen to me anymore thankfully.

I think u misunderstood...
*Sometimes due to a weired bug in android, there are only 4 options in extended power menu..Power Off,Reboot,Recovery n Download.
*Home button does not works at all.
*Lock-screen is completely gone.
*Power menu just turns on the screen
*Sleep mode is gone.
U can search for the same problem over google but there was no sure shot solution... But now there is..
I myself faced it few times while cooking the roms and each time u face this bug, there is no other way than start from zero again....
Had the same problem ages ago.
It occurs if you remove SetupWizard.apk.
Leave it be, do a factory reset and all will be well.

that's no bug. it's the normal behavior of froyo that you have to do a double click on the "outside buttons" to wake up the phone.

Exactly! thats why i prefer triboot/dualboot
Is it possible to include this fix in a rom?
Or to do it in recovery with a update.zip?
this is not even needed thomas You have deleted setupwizard.apk from system/app I think. If you delete that apk this happens just place it back. If you apply this but do not have the setupwizard.apk in your system it will come back after a while
I dont deleted it but maybe it is because i deodexed the rom... I wil try to replace it

thanks! this totally saved my @ss.
I am on a SE Xperia Arc, rooted with CWM recovery, and a generic firmware 4.1.B.0.431.
I went into recovery mode and reset the phone, wiping everything. After that, this exact same problem appeared (home button non-functioning, no lock screen, etc...) Also, the phone would not receive calls! Data was working and was able to receive messages that way, and was able to dial out.
A few tips for people running this fix to save some time.
How to run an ADB terminal command line? Don't bother.
1. Just install something like Root Explorer.
2. copy sqlite3 to the /system/bin directory ON YOUR PHONE
3. change the permissions (that's that chmod 777 means)
4. give owner and group read and write permissions
5. IMPORTANT. copy the fix.sh (it's a script) to the ROOT of the phone. not /sdcard, but ROOT
6. just click on the fix.sh and select "excute) and the script will run and you will see output saying (done, reboot) or something.
good luck! and thanks for everybody's help!
rooted device
Hallo, in advance - sorry for my English (haven't spoke nor written for long time)
Do I need rooted device to go through arunmcops's procedure? I have galaxy Y pro (b5510) and after rooting then unrooting and factory reset, I have the same issue when home button doesn't react... Thanx in advance for any response.
Hi!
I have just encountered this bug (on my I9300) and tried to apply your fix, but sqlite crashes saying
Code:
soinfo_relocate(linker.cpp:1013): cannot locate symbol "sqlite3_load_extension" referenced by "sqlite3" ... CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE
... what can I do?
I am sure all files have the right permissions, but apart from that I wasn't even able to find that error on google :/
hahaha nevermind... It worked the first time I tried it, I just had to reboot and actually turn the lockscreen on

Living with Root and Knox (SELinux = enforcing) - Tipps n Tricks collection

So you want to keep (knox) warranty and still use root?
Well there is RDLV and the "forbidden" Tool for that, BUT you will still have SELinux on enforcing mode, which means you don't have full control even with root. While technically most things still do work, they might work a lil different or need a different approach.
Lets collect our findings here...
---
First of all, remounting system with apps like solid explorer does not seem to work.
A workaround for this is to run the following command in terminal or through quick terminal etc:
Code:
/system/bin/mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system
This command gets through where other methods fail. Once you have mounted the system writable like this, you can go back to your root explorer app to delete things etc on system partition. Solid explorer gives me error messages still when I delete apps from /system/app/, but they still disappear / get deleted.
---
This also brings me to my next workaround:
To delete system apps and not just freeze them with Titanium, you need to remount system like above and then delete the apks from the /system/app/ directory. A reboot should then remove everything else related to that app afaik. (like the /data/data/ of the app etc.)
Titanium on the other hand gives me an error when I try to delete a system app, even after remounting system to rw.
---
If you want to edit things from your system partition, like build.prop etc. Copy them to your sd first and edit them there. Then mount system rw, and create a backup of the file you are editing. (make a copy and just append "_bak" or smth to the file name) And finally copy the sd file over the corresponding file in system. Make sure you check permissions before and after you copied everything and edit them if they do not match up.
---
My final Tip for now:
I noticed that most root methods on SELinux (this includes RDLV and the forbidden one) use install-recovery.sh to start su as a system daemon which handles all the su requests. (as far as I understood it at least).
Well we can also use this file (or create an install-recovery-2.sh in /etc/ which gets called by the first one by default when you got the root) to run init.d scripts or other stuff.
I don't have tested it yet but I will put the code below once it works...
Code:
tbd
..
hopefully we find a way to turn off this selinux enforcing mode while keeping knox warranty at some point.. - xposed framework might be the answer but not sure - in theory its able to overwrite all methods used by apps. (but I guess selinux above xposed still in system rights and therefore cannot be affected by it?)
And another one:
Don't like this big n clunky user interface? The DPI for the Note 3 is set to 480, thats for old people! If you have want things a bit more refined and more "space" on the screen, edit your build.prop (like I mentioned above) and set the "ro.sf.lcd_density" value down.
I used 360 instead of 480 and that seems perfect to me. It looks like 240 DPI used to look on the Note 1. - You could try 320 or 400 as well.
If you want to set the dpi of individual apps, install xposed and the app settings module. (I would still set browser to 360 or even 320 dpi, 400 is just too much - the adress bar is so damn huge still)

Definitely try out at least the dpi change to 360 or 400, that one is golden =). (nothing special but still..)
--
so far I haven't found anything that does not work at least with a workaround. Some apps do not work as supposed, but thats because they havent adapted yet to the new environment as far as I can tell. And yea, you cannot edit the selinux stuff or turn it off (at least not easy) but thats it. What I did not yet try, which is for risk-friendly people only anyway, is to mess with the efs folder. (you can change your devices mac there, good for privacy concerns hehe). Could be that selinux blocks that one as well, but other than that most things work alright. Just no custom recovery yet, but this could maybe be made possible through the install-recovery.sh file, telling it to start up a custom recovery but not actually flashing it hard onto the device.
Reboot apps I can't get to work. You know the apps that restart phone, bootloader etc... Even through the side 4 button mod. I can only reboot through factory restart. Pressing the power button and using the default restart button.

The 4 way reboot menu from Wanam's xposed module works fine for me if you wanted to check that out.
I got one. Enter download mode by powering off. Then hold volume_down+home+power then press volume_up when promtped. Ok now this is what blows my mind. Everyone says pull battery to exit. I did this and the center off my screen looked messed up for about 8 seconds and I thought there must be a better way. Guess what to exit just hold power by itself for about 10 secs and you reboot out of download mode. Great easy way to check counter and no longer have to remove case, battery, etc.

Only reason i wouldn't change the DPI for everything because some apps will look crazy. Then you will have apps also like the play store that may not work correctly.

good finding! (lol i couldve came up with this myself lol - holding power long enough always does a forced reboot).
I noticed too that when you pull the battery that sometimes you get lines on the screen - really scary, thought I messed up my device but after like 10 seconds or so they disappeared. But definitely something you want to avoid!
Holding down power to exit the download mode instead of pulling battery from now on.
I use Rootr Browser Pro... I can delete things out of the system partition and write into the system partition (after setting it for root privelege in settings and supersu) however I can''t just overwrite files.... The file I wish to overwrite must 1st be deleted or renamed,usually with .bak. Haven't had to use terminal.
Another handy tip, in the CSC folder, rename the customer.xls to customer.xls.bak and then a new option will be available in the settings/device/lock screen menu to add app shortcuts to the lock screen
if you add this code to the others.xml file AFTER <FeatureSet> and BEFORE </FeatureSet>
<CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>true</CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>
<CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>en_GB;en_U S;de;fr;es;it</CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>
You will then enable sub symbols on the default keyboard.
Works a dream...

The xprivacy lockup also happens with user apps deinstallation. Just want to make sure its not me or my setup but xprivacy thats causing this. I turned it off and it works, turn it on, device hangs on deinstallations.

Yeah, thanks for the tip. I used xpose app setting to set my nova launcher to be about 400. I will try modify the build.prop then.
Ok so what i did to quickly update to mj4 since it is now live. "you will lose root and everything on internal storage so back it up"
Be sure make COPY of backup of your titanium folder if use NOVA be sure to do a backup of your current layout. Copy these folders to your EXTsd. Remove card afterwards.
I was rooted so i kept getting "Cant up dated Modded system". Even unrooting i cant getting Modded system. I use almost the same root method as OP uses called kingoapp "cant provide links so google is your friend"
Anyhow.. i wanted to make sure i didnt trip KNOX and grew impatient for an update.zip. I didnt want to flash anything through ODIN, so i figured would use Kies.
Kies will see your phone as already updated. At the top of the app if you click tools then "firmware and initialization" Kies will override whatever is on your phone and update to mI5. This will take about 30 min but much quicker then trying to download the entire stock firmware from hotfile.
Once your phone is up go ahead and go to to settings on you phone and system update. Update will run and restart your phone. You are now on the latest firmware mj4.
Reroot and reinstall SD card. You are now rooted on latest update.
Notes - I tried everything to try to trick system to thinking its not modded including unrooting. Nothing worked reasoning i resorted to flashing through Kies.

Ohh theres an update? Well I bought a 2nd note today - couldnt resist it was 500€ only (they usually go for about 550 here). And mine had some display issues... gonna sell the first one and keep second - screen is better. Anyway, I got to redo everything now and restore the "old one" to stock.
To restore stock safely I would always suggest using Kies and doing a forced firmware update like dallas described. I read that flashing the same firmware twice with odin can already trip knox. (at least if you were tempering with the system)
But note that this will most likely update the bootloader of your phone as well.
---
Now I got the old bootloader on my new and still branded n3 - can someone explain what the difference actually is to the new bootloader? I mean both don't allow SELinux permissive, and both can be rooted (at least with the "tool")?
On S4 etc I understand that new firmware version introduced knox, and that there was firmware out without knox, but if you upgraded once you couldnt go back. But there are no knox free firmwares for the n3 are there? (I mean stock ones)

[Help] Scripting with Tasker

Hi,
I've set up an emulator using genymotion and am playing a game on it. What I need to do right now is:
Loop begin
2. Simulate a touch/tap at a particular location on the game.
3. sleep for 10 seconds
Loop end
I used to simulate the touch using xdotool in lunux. However, I think tasker should be able to handle this better. I'm a noob when it comes to tasker. I chanced upon a tutorial where in this guy explains how a touch can be simulated buy I'm stuck. It doesn't work. Here is what I've done so far:
1.Tasker > New task > "Test"
2.Run shell
Command:
while [ 1 ]; do
input tap 545 240
sleep 15
done
3. Run tasker.
4. Open the game.
Aaaaand.....nothing happen.
Please assist.
TIA.
Have you ran the task? You say run Tasker, but you still have to run the task or specify an event/condition when to run it.

Secure settings app problem

Got my oneplus today. It has not taken me long to get it rooted with TWRP. Many thanks to Chromium for his step by step process here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632.
I am a Tasker user and an app that I use is Secure Settings. When I go to enable the System+ Module, it tells me that Root Access Disabled. Root access is currently disabled for all applications by a system setting. This setting will prevent Secure Settings from performing several functions. Would you like to enable it now? When I select "yes" it takes me to my developer options page. I cannot figure out what to select to enable what it wants. I have used this app on my S3 and my LG G2 and have never had this come up. I am stuck!
I am running stock CM11s.
I am confirmed to have root access with Supersu. I am running xposed modules.
Under debugging check the root access setting is set to apps and adb.

I had the same problem as the OP. I did the setprop persist.sys.root_access 3. This allowed me to turn on System+ in Secure Settings. However, now Tasker force closes every time I run it. It will run, but as soon as I switch away or run a task it will stop. How do I undo this change short of reinstalling my rom?

Okay, so I found somewhere that the default setting for persist.sys.root_access is 1 so I set it back to 1. Still no luck. But I did get it fixed.
First, I backed up tasker, then I uninstalled Tasker and Secure Settings, Reinstalled tasker, restored my backup then installed secure settings. It let me endable System+ Right away and all seems to be working. WHEW. I was getting frustrated to the point of considering selling the phone cause tasker didn't work.

Not long after submitting this post I managed to get it to accept root access. I think it worked when after it took me to the developer options screen, I turned the developer options to OFF, then back ON. Then, bam!, it worked. Go figure...

Anyway, thanks for the help. I had done a Google search and came up empty handed but should have done a search within the XDA forums. My bad.

The on/off method worked for me. Thanks!

Works for me, too, thanks! I also would like to note, for future Googlers, that this is in a user build variant, not userdebug, with SuperSU zip-flashed. Just so anyone knows that it works for it, too.

Stereo Speaker Mod

Hey guys, just got my Pixel today. I was wondering if there is a mod that turns the earpiece into a loud speaker like the mod for the XL? Thanks.
I am using this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/themes/mod-enabling-dual-speaker-audio-playback-t3492257
However, do note that the earpiece speaker is too soft and negligible to work together for Stereo. My goal is to get the speaker to be louder and it does that.
It's all explained in the thread

Does this work for the non-XL pixel? The reason I ask is because I thought that was only for the XL. I'll give it a try tomorrow though.

Yes it does.
I followed the steps and set to force maximum gain all the time. Then froze the app as I didn't wan't the notification showing up. The setting just stays.

I just tried to do the mod and it hasn't worked for me. When I try to use the adb commands, it always says no such file or directory. I even tried the older method of dowloading the mixer_paths file but I can't change permissions for that. How did you manage to do it?

Well, there are 3 steps.
For first step, I simply copied the gz file into the /data/local/tmp folder using root explorer. I found this method easier than ADB.
For 2nd/3rd step, you need to execute the commands in root shell. (type su, enter) to grant root access before doing the 2 commands.

When I try to type in the commands, it says "can't gzopen chdloc_hardware_audio_mods_pixel__no_ull.tar.gz........."
I've tried typing the adb commands on my computer and on my phone through Material Terminal app.

Hmm.. you got root access in your terminal right?
Try posting on the thread itself.. You may get better help there Sorry

Yep, I finally managed to do it. And it is true what they say, the earpiece volume is a lot quieter than the bottom speaker but at least it's something, lol.

Can you show me where you edited this setting, I built a magisk module for this mod and it is in the xl forum. People are asking about it being louder
