Turn off the lights on the capacitive buttons?

Is this a possibility? They drive me nuts at night because they are constantly on.... a way to adjust their time out time would be incredible. Sadly, I don't think suck a thing exists.

Well, stop me if I'm wrong, but doesn't "LEDs Hack" do this? It's a free app on the market. I don't know as I haven't needed to try with this.

If you're on CM, you can adjust their brightness level based on ambient light under back light settings (separate from keyboard light and screen)

Does that work if you're unrooted?

There is still a standard brightness in Display settings. Turn off auto brightness and set brightness manually down. Have not tried any filters.

I have done that i wad looking to reduce auto brightness amount.
I did figure it out. Go to cyanogen settings> display> backlight> custom settings. I'm the grid reduce the amount for the different levels then click save and apply.
*observations:
1) reducing by 2 makes a good difference.
2) to get settings to stick sometimes i had to uncheck use custom settings.
3) reboot to get settings to stick if uncheck didn't work.

Hi I have the gs3 and love having the option in the display setting for the battery percentage will that also be in the nexus 4 settings? Basically I'd this an android setting our a Samsung setting? Thanks

Think you can get an app which will display the battery percentage in the notification bar.

Yeah I am aware you can get an app that will do this I'm asking if it's built in the stock setting as it is in the gs3.

If you do the two-finger swipe down (like with the notifications, but with two fingers) it shows the quick settings. The percentage is listed in there. I don't think it shows it by default in the notification bar, though.

Can we dim the menu and back keys?

Hey guys I recently bought the Lux Auto Brightness app which dims your display according to your environment. I would like to dim my hardware keys because when I'm in a pitch black room the keys are still bright......Any ideas would be awesome. Thanks

Up to my knowledge you can only shorten the duration of the back lit keys or turn them off completely. Settings>Display>Touch key light duration. I have my keys to not lit up at all and i like it.

i dont see that option in display

Screen calibration app/settings

Just wondering if there an app that allows for screen calibration (gamma, rgb.. Etc), or is a custom kernel required?
Thanks!

There's nothing like that afaik.
I would recommend the 'Movie' preset under screen settings, that one is quite well calibrated and makes the screen live up to iPad levels...
The Anandtech review is quite informative:
