[Q] Turn off capacitive button lights?

Is there any way to turn off the capacitive button lights through a mod or app? It's really annoying when using the phone at night. The app "screen filter" is great for dimming the screen but the buttons look really bright at night.

I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

+1, atleast turn them down. I use screen filter too and those lights are really bright.

Is it something in the kernel that needs to be modified? Not that I can do it but I'm just wondering.

In Froyo, they were tied to the keyboard timeout setting, so I could set it for 6 seconds and they'd turn off quickly. Not they stay on if the screen is on. Gotta find a mod to fix that...

When I had my moment most custom kernels came with a version with them on and one with them off. So it is possible

I saw this when I tried CM7 1022 also. Any alarm clock app in night mode had this problem, I tried gentle alarm clock and alarm clock plus.

Keep the lights out is an app in the market that will solve the problem for you.

I found this. (Is that what you were talking about?) The description says it is for keeping the buttons ON. I'll check out what options it has.
As expected, this app does the opposite. But in the thread for it, there are some options, such as a file you can create, that has other affects on the buttons.

Haven't tried yet, but this post seems to have the answer.

Not sure why, but mine is working now. I just reflashed my kernel- maybe I had a bad flash previously?

I use the thumb mod on my phone. Which means I hover my thumb in front of the buttons at night. I also use Screen Filter.

Damn that sucks. On ACS ICS EI22 I can't get the lights to turn off until the screen shuts off no matter what setting I select. It is very annoying when watching videos or reading...

So essentially with this app you can change the icons on your toolbar, settings bar, etc.. which folder are the png's in? Been looking into system/framework/framework-res/res

Your on the right track, just a couple more.
System/framework/framework_res/drawable_MDPI
But for some like wifi strength or signal and the three on the left, those are in the SystemUI.apk like this
system/app/systemui.apk
After finishing systemui you will get constant f/C's, I just powered off and back on. That happened on the phone too and had to do battery pulls when I did it on the phone, while the force close pop up is up just hold down the power button and it will ask if you want to shut down, click yes and it will power down and should power up normally.

The image is very small, can't see the mods.
Anyone know where to find some good png's? to change some of the icons on the tab.
Like the back, home, applications icons.
I can see how easily you can change them in app/systemui,
just need images to change them with.

I went to XOOM theme forum and found a couple themes there to take the images from.

Thanks, yea they have alot of themes. Just took the images & placed them on my internal SD card, easy to switch out with ninjamorph can't seem to find the "halo" on the lock screen though so I can edit. Know which directory it's in?

Either at the very bottom of framework_res/res/drawable_mdpi for the Acer, and drawable_extra-large_mdpi for the XOOM

Icons wont change
Hey guys,
weird question. I'm running a Gingerbread mod and I updated the Wifi and Signal icons in SystemUI.apk, rebooted into recovery and copied over via ADB so nothing was in use by the system.
Now when I boot up, I get regular icons. I assumed it was something to do with the xml files, though when I open these, they're not exactly human readable.
Any ideas?

Obvious question but did you "finish" the project while in Ninjamorph?

Anybody find a fix for this?

Maybe 1-2 times a week. I've only used Apex Launcher, wondering if it's more specific to that app?

If anything go into apex settings and click on restart app. It'll lake care of it. That's how I did it
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

Hmm, I use stock launcher (i like that the best), why don't you try that? Otherwise, wipe dalvik and cache. If that doesn't fix your problem in a week, reflash, use Synthetic AospX, thats the most up to date. Or you can try jellybean, i like Dark Jellybelly (now toasted marshmellow or something) the best for jelly bean. If neither of those work, considering going to glacier one v or something sense like.

Found it - I'm using Dark Unicorn right now, it was in the AOKP settings under 'General UI'. I haven't encountered this scrambled text recently but when I do I'll try your trick.
Thank you!

I was having this issue in DU 2.5 also. The only solution I found was killing the app itself. And it wasn't related only to Launcher (I used Apex). I got this issue in PowerAmp too (and any others apps), and have to kill it to fix.

I've seen this, but it goes away after killing the app or a hot reboot works ...

I found out that this scrambled font bug usually never happens when using the default launcher for ICS 4.0.3 it doesn't have all the customzations as apex but is smoother imo an the icons an dock can be theme using the theme chooser .

Be sure to move to system/apps an give rw r r permission installing as a regular will give you a force close when adding apps from widget tab if not a system app other than that this launcher is beast.

there is no lag, none but OP here is reporting lag. the problem being reported by most of the people on G+ android community page is the problem with the slide menu. seems like most of us who have that problem are outside the US , so maybe it is location-related somehow..
it happens on both wifi/mobile data , so it's not a connection thing.

I think the OP means the lag you get when a video is playing in landscape mode and then touch the screen for once to bring up the video player controls.
The screen will hang for like .1 seconds, which i do happen to experience aswell. It does not bother me too much tho, but it would be good if it gets fixed.

can't change lockscreen wallpaper

I've done something I don't what.
I can no longer change my lock screen wallpaper to a downloaded our taken image. Only to the stock wallpapers.
I've undone all my chances and reduced apps back to the minimum.

Me too changing to marshmallow will change it but everything else is stuck on clkp custom theme. I have dirty flashed clean rom on top of it's self but it still does the same thing. I don't know it'd I should clean the cache of a apk because I don't know what does the themes. ...like the theme framework.???

Same issue. I thought it had something to do with the onscreen button mod (to add the recent apps and ellipsis). When I reverted to normal it was still broken. I can only add the stock lock screen wallpapers.

The only mod I did was the smaller mid size nav bar

Let us know if it works. Reverting didn't fix it for me. When I went to the Blackhole ROM it worked again, but once the mod was installed I noticed it was broken sometime later.

Nope. Flashed the navigation bar back to stock size and still doesn't change. Has to be the black nav bar mod, there's no revert and flashing the recent mod still keeps the black bar.

I am having the same problem. I am rooted and installed the tether mod. I did not try to change the lock screen wallpaper until after I was rooted.

It worked after rooted...I can't vouch for after clean rom. It might be something removed from clean or black
Sent from my VS980 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I doubt it's the tether mod.
Flashed the revert for black bar which wiped out the bar altogether.
Flashed the recent mod, I'm 94% sure it worked, and still doesn't.

I could'nt fix it. I'm also not sure what broke it so I flashed CleanROM.

It's neither of those.
Anybody using Roundr? I haven't installed and tested that yet.

thats so weird. mine won't change to anything on my internal storage, but it will change to anything built into the rom. I'm on cleanrom right now, too.. it used to change before that... i never took the OTA tho, only when I installed cleanrom, bc it was based off it.

that seems to be the common thread. We need to post in the correct thread do the devs, and users, are aware.

Sorry for bumping. We had a similar problem as LG Optimus G users and we were able to fix it. It's a simple permission issue.
In Optimus G you have to set the permission of this file to rwxrwxrwx:

}
Even if it's not the same it should be something like this. Find the wallpaper.png and set its permission to rwxrwxrwx

Guys, I was able to rectify this by clearing data in application manager>all apps>lockscreen settings. After that, set a stock wallpaper then a custom wallpaper. Lemme know if this works for you guys too, I did this over a week ago and I'm trying to recall the exact steps!
I have this issue after I push a MOD, though I am not sure which one causes the issue. The only way to fix it (before I discovered clearing lockscreen data) was to flash the ROM over again.
