The buttons on the face of the phone are illuminated along with the keyboard backlight. When reading in the dark, these buttons are too bright. Is there any way to turn the keyboard backlight off temporarily?

Thanks DevilDogVIKING for that tip.
Yes, I can set that to a minimum of 3 seconds, but what I'd really like is to find an app or widget to completely disable the keyboard backlight. A button on the Power Control widget would be perfect. The lights are very annoying when reading with a dim display in the dark.

Same here. I was wondering if I was the only one with this complaint!

ok, untick auto dim in pull down notification and set the desire brightness you wants(camera screen brightness follows this setting, it will not follow auto brightness), once you done setting it, tick the auto again so brightness is back to auto other than camera brightness.
Ahh.. Thank You.... that works for me. Excellent!

I realise this is a late reply... but I generally find my finger goes over the light sensor when I hold the device in landscape mode, which is annoying. The camera uses auto-brightness fine for me - until I go and look at the picture. It was turning the brightness right down. Unticking "Auto", changing it up, and re-ticking "Auto" fixed it for me. (Why I would want to change the brightness to a setting I've decided I don't want to use is anyone's guess.)
I am currently running AOKP on my Tmobile version and enabled the onscreen navigation bar. Id like to know if we have a script that disables the capacitive buttons yet on this device, and if not, a request for a dev to make one. Thank you.
I haven't been able to disable them, but if you just want to have the capacitive buttons not light up snag "Screen Filter" as it lets you turn off the button lights (set it to 100% if you don't want to dim your screen). I also used "Auto Start (no root)" to have it start at boot.

What do you mean disable those buttons? Disable actions when pressing them?
So you have a huge useless bezel at the bottom of your screen?

Well mostly disable the light. I want to use the on screen navigation keys in AOKP as a substitute.

Are you for real?
I don't mean to be a **** but come on!
Settings/Display/Touch Key Light Duration/Always Off.
LOL i bet a lot of people didn't know that (including me).... i mean i've been to that setting before to see how long the lights could be "on" for. but never noticed there was a "always off" option

Please don't be rude, especially because you are wrong. This option is only available in the stock touchwiz based rom. I am on AOKP.

Sry. Reading comprehension was subpar on my part.
This is actually a very useful tool if available. On my Asus Transformer Prime, there is a lock setting that disables the capacitive buttons while you watch a movie or play a game. I know the OP wants to disable the capacitive buttons for the purpose of replacing it with the AOKP onscreen buttons, but I would like to have that ability just to disable it so that I don't accidentally press on those buttons while playing game or watching video. Like a quick setting from the notification bar to lock it would be perfect!
Ill be subscribing to this thread for when we get a daily driver AOSP rom on Verizon. I too would like to disable the capacitive buttons and have on-screen navigation buttons instead. I find the capacitive buttons are too hard to press when I want to and too easy to accidentally press when I don't want to.

So, I don't know how to actually disable the button function (I'm running task's AOKP rom) and I didn't like using that Screen Filter app to keep the backlight off since it keeps it in the notification bar.
However, it is pretty easy to keep just the backlight off. Go into Settings>Display>Custom Backlight Settings. Check the "Use custom" option and go into "Edit other levels...".
Change the value for all the different levels from 1 to 0. Reboot and enjoy!

Do you happen to know what or where this line of code is so that we may modify it...?

Like using the flash as a flashlight? Gravity box can do this, adds a tile to the quick settings screen in the notification shade.
This app works for flashing the flash led https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manzy.flashnotification

With gravity box you can also enable to torch from long press on lock ring or even from the volume down button, super convenient!

Where is the setting for volume down torch? I saw the one for lock ring, but I use PIN and it doesn't work for active display lock ring.

Thanks dude, I was looking at the volume part before, but the "other" part.
It only seems to work from the actual lock screen though. I use PIN and it locks after 15 minutes. If the screen is just off, pressing the VOL down key doesn't do anything. If I turn the screen off and show the lock screen, it works.
I've found even if you slide the ring over to the unlock position and hold it down long enough, it still turns on the torch. Kinda inconvenient in my mind but hey, it's just a side effect of an awesome feature in the first place!
Is there a way to make Tasker have the LED blink? Like blink for charging, and solid for charged?

There was an app someone made for that some time ago. It's under the themes and apps section.

Thanks in advance!
I solved it... renamed /system/lib/hw/lights.msm8974.so
When this file is missing for the system the button lights are all off.
Problem is the screen brightness control doesnt work anymore and screenlight is fixed to the max.
But a screen control app like lux autobrightness helps and dims the screen as it should work.
Hurray!

Didn't mean to thank you, but I think temaseks cm 12 has controls for the capacitive lights. Actually, I'm positive it does
I'm not sure what I did, but now I have two onscreen buttons for zoom (Z- and Z+). See screenshot: https://goo.gl/photos/YxRxe8wMq322e3Hu6
I'd like to turn them off, but I can't figure out how.

Are you using custom DPI?
Turn off Switch Access in Accessibility settings.
Thank you, that was the fix.
