Front Panel Lights - Droid Incredible General

I just got my incredible a few days ago. I'm also an android newbie. What's the logic of the front panel nav button lights? As they are flush I would like the lights on in most situations. They seem to come on at random times with no discernable pattern. Any logic here? Any way to control this?
Thanks for such an awesome forum and site. XDA-Dev rocks!

Admin- sorry for the redundant post. I thought my original didn't post and didn't see it on forum out listed in my cp. Please delete this thread.

If you look at the list of posts near the top you will see a sticky post called "search XDA-Dev using Google" all you need to do is enter a few key words like white screen.
As an example here are the results I got. The one top of the list is relevant:

lost an old post about LED buttons on Tilt II

Hi,
Back again after a long time. In an old post I asked about a tweek that would leave the LED lights on the bottom of my Tilt II while on external power.
Can you help me again. I just updated my ROM an lost that setting.
Many Thanks,
JimJep
You can look at all of your posts by clicking on your name and selecting find all posts.
That's how I found this for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5231341#post5231341
Edit: Okay, maybe you can't click on yur own name and find your own post, but you can click on someone elses name and find thier posts.
I'm sure in the user CP there is a way to find all of your own posts though.
I was wondering if there was a way to control the LEDs when you get a text? I think it'd be cool if the light blinked blue instead of that orange color when you get a notification (text, email, etc).

In user cp, its "show all statistics" on the right side of the screen. That give you options for show all posts, or threads started... or just click on the statistics tab in the user cp
I think the OP was referring to the hard key lights, not the notification light.

I'm looking for this too. I found something for have it always on, not only on AC. But, it is slow to wake up with it... So, I would also preffer to have it only on AC...
ps : the app was made by netripper... but, I don't remember the post, but it's the same person who make the overclock for TP2, topaz......

notification question

i know there is noLed to try mimic a led notification functionality, but would it be possible to use the button lights? like flash the search button light as a notification? i think this would be a good substitute to having an led.
*insert douche comment on how the OP should search. Possibly include link to thread where this idea has been poured over*
Search for "use buttons backlight for notifications" in the vibrant forums. (Can't copy links from XDA app, sorry)
A lot of people really want this feature. Hopefully someone can figure this out.

Capacitive key backlight timeout

What do i need to edit to increase the timeout of the capacitive buttons? Im sure everyone is in this boat - the backlight switches off after two seconds or so of inactivity...

Hi,
Thats an interesting one...I have no idea (until now I was a WM user), but I would be glad to kwno how to increase the timeout. Shouldn't it be locked to the display timeout? Would make sense in my opinion...

Bump......
What about setting the LEDs up to show notifications for new messages, new emails, missed calls, etc.?

This is nothing about development... please post in General instead of Development forum, you'll find your answer faster there next time.
oh really? i would say a) editing core android files is development and b) am i really getting advice from a noob?
There's this... Blinker - Button LED Notification
Still early days, but if he's got direct control over those buttons he might be able to change the timeout, and the app answers zyborg's post in any case.
I shall ask him.

I can't find the timeout... I guess its the same timeout like for the Lockscreen 5000ms.
I could only do a workarround, something like everytime when the light turns off... my app turns it on. But thats a little bit dirty ;-)
I imagine that this will not be easy, as there is a development thread over in the SGS forum about Back Light Notifications (BLN).
It can only be achieved through flashing a modified kernel - and as I understand it, the dev tried many different methods to get it to work until deciding on the current method.
Bumpage . . .

A quick way to flip through home screens.

Just messing around on my xoom and found a nice feature. If you press on the far right or left of the screen it quickly flips to the next coresponding homescreen. Sorry if most already know this just thought I would add to the community since I have benifited from the hard work of others here on XDA. If you have already found this then sorry for the post.
Edit:
Seems to work in the app drawer as well. Enjoy!
