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

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.

Hi!
Does someone know a way/app to enable the backlight of the hardwarebuttons on the bottom of the device all the time when the display is on, or even better, in cooperation with the brightness-sensor?
Allready searched but couldn't find anything. Im on Typhoon CM7 (2.3.7)
Hello, search for AdjBrightness or Keyboard backlight controller in the Market.

Thanks. Tried both apps, and both are able to turn them on, but just for some seconds.
Maybe I'll find another solution, but this apps don't work.

At first you need a ROM with CyanogenMod.
Look at the link. Do what there stand. But change the value for "Buttons" in each line to 255 . Look at attached pic. If you have questions pm me.

You could try a different rom. Or you can try an app like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&hl=en
It's also a nice way to get your screen even darker.
The only draw back is the status bar notification.

problem solved by turning on power saver mode anyway. but thanks for trying to help me
option B
You can download a hidden menu app from the play store. Then go into the application "engineer mode". There you will find a button to turn the lights for the buttons on & off.
Here are some screenshots of the menu.
So I am thinking about ordering this phone, and i don't like capacitive buttons' backlight, so, can you turn it off??

That'll disable the capacitive button. Not the backlight
Ahhhhh gotcha, sorry bro
so far therz no way I guess this is really annoying !!! I wonder why Xiaomi did that. therz absolutely no modification provided for backlight keys :crying::crying: they shdnt ve provided HW keys in first place though...its an A1 device damn it !!! it shd come with on screen keys like pixels !!!
Any news? It's the only point that stops me to buy this phone (I hate soft touch buttons, in this way they will be invisible).

It's not Xiaomi fault, the stock android rom doesn't have that feature.

I guess that came out wrong.....I know that stock android do not allow that light modification setting(coz none of the Google phone use hw buttons). what I meant there is stock navbar shd ve been provided by xiaomi there just like pixel or most of the other old A1 devices. I hv managed to switch off those button lights though by changing the backlight brightness value to - 0 but then again cant activate navbar by good old trick 'qemu.hw.mainkeys' coz thats not working on stock 7.1.2 !!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Hi,
How you enable init.d? I sees init folder but not init.d (unless I create it). init have .rc files in it and maybe it'll auto run.
Refer this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/guide-how-to-off-cappactive-buttons-t3730093

Hi there,
is it possible to change the LED behavior for the "Flip to Glyph" mode?
I really want to see the LED lights flashing like on my "normal ringtone" when in Flip to Glyph mode, but only one LED flashes.
And it would really nice to have a option at the indicator/status menu to change it to on or off.
Thanks in advance,
konqi
It is possible but not recommended if you're not skilled enough.

You're talking about changing the light behavior but sometimes for me when I flip the phone the lights are not blinking!

How to do that?
It has been mentioned. It is not recommended, nor using it.
