Hi,
I noticed, that after a total standstill, there is now a little movement on the nike android front. I want to contribute a little share to that.
I have set up an autobuild service for the android kernel. I automatically uploads a fresh zImage with the newest patches every full hour. I also reenabled Vibration as I never had any problems with that. If there are still people aound that need a kernel without Vibration let me know, I could set up a second build, too.
[update 03.03.10] Kernel without vibration for niki100 included.
The fresh kernel is found here.
[2010.03.31]UPDATE:
- IRQ wakeups enabled -> sleepmode 1 works
- Red led flashes when sleeping
- hw3d for eclair can be chosen in commandline (not fully functional)
- Double press cam button is home on 20key nike now
[2010.04.08]UPDATE:
- Some Keypad and defconfig changes to support ubuntu
[2010.07.01]UPDATE:
- Added .patch files to downloads for all who want to compile on their own (Recommanded! Some new devs would be very welcome here)
[2010.07.02]UPDATE:
- Removed .patch files again, they don't work as intended. Just 'git apply' the "Changes compared to stock kernel" instead...
- Fixed audio (please give me some feedback if it works now)
[2010.08.30]UPDATE:
- I just was tipped of that the service has been down for full 3 months (thx youngsien)
- Service is now online again, but will from now on only be updated once a day (should be enough)
Happy Androiding everyone!

PS: If you don't know what a zImage is or does: It is the core of the Android operating system. It is usually in the same folder like haret.exe. You can tell your Android build to use a specific zImage in default.txt
Nice idea...
That's what we need to make good android builds working on nike.
The vibration ALLWAYS freezes de touchscreen, maybe a htc p5500 model issue.
i will follow this post hourly...
OK, I included the stock kernel without vibration in the service. Have fun!
@arleybarros: I dind't mean to post here hourly, but my server will keep the kernel up to date
the stock kernel freezes after a little vibration..
shouldn't vibration be disabled on stock release?

Yeah, you're right. The files were exchanged by my build script... Thanks for the hint, everything should be fine now.
*bump*
New updates in first post... I hope everything works
mblaster,could you post your default.txt cmdline, please? seems like nike still does not sleep, there no signs of flashing red led on mine.
my cmdline: "pm.sleep_mode=1 mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 hw3d.version=1"
I'm running msmissions eclair.
are you running it without rootfs? there seems to be a problem with the norootfs basefiles that prevents sleeping.
yup, norootfs.
ok, got progress, I've runned android again, now nike felt asleep and flashing red led. wakeup works too - double tap on dpad center. I think that was because there was no reboot after installing after data wipe, norootfs missing some controls on power.
also, there is another power problem - MSM's standard reboot/poweroff commands from android does not working, can we fix this? device just freezing, seems like some revision on vogue's power controlls broken ours.

The same here with the norootfs stuff. I tried myn's donut on sqsh and norootfs. SQSH works like a charm (powermanegement, net, reboot, powerdown), but the same build/kernel combination has the problems mentioned before...
[minor UPDATE] Double press cam is home now on 20key nike

can we make something about "Enter" key on niki100?
I've tried to run kaiser ubuntu and stuck with login - I simply cannot press enter :/
maybe some virtual button can be mapped to something?

Where would you like to have the enter key? I can try to fix it in, but i am not sure where to put it.
Some ideas would be:
- Put enter on cam, press WinKey once = menu, press Winkey twice = home
- Put enter un the key on the lower right (InternetExplorer in winmo?), probably better, but i dont know for shure which button it is. Dou you get a 'z' if you press it? I guess you do:
Code:
{{KEY_Z,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE},FALSE}, // UNKNOWN KEY
Can you confirm that you get a 'z'? I will change it to enter then.
€: If ubuntu works it would be nice if you could start a thread about it. Would be great to have a full blown linux box in your pocket
Latest Kernel is working nicely on my Nike100, really impressed with the battery life now, great job on getting sleep to work. I have a request though... would it be possible to make one more kernel for the Nike 16 key? at the moment you can't type on it or use any of the keypad as the mappings are all wrong. If it would help I can tell you what keys are currently mapped to what on the 16 key. I don't know how hard it would be to change but if it is doable I would really appreciate it as it is really the last thing that is stopping the port from being day to day usable for me and other 16 key users. Unfortunately the onscreen keypad is just a bit small for typing with daily.
Thanks, hope its not too hard a fix.

Do you have this parameter in default.txt?
Code:
board-htcnike-keypad.keypadlayout=1
If not, add it and remove other entries concerning keypad layouts (might be there from kaiser). Most of the keys should be mapped correctly. Enter key seems to be missing. Could you try to press the button on the lower right (Internet explorer or something like that, depending on the branding of your phone) and tell me if it prints the letter 'z'?
Where would you like to have the enter key?

iexplorer key is useless in ubuntu and android, I think, so we can remap it, camera home key is used widely in android, you dont need to open up slider to access menus
If ubuntu works it would be nice if you could start a thread about it.
Click to expand...

that would be nice too, now we can run LXDE or other X windowmanager compiled for ARM, ubuntu boots up fine and works like on kaiser. you can learn how this happen for ARM in Omegamoon's blog
The patched kernels will be ready on my download page in a few minutes (compiling...). Please let me know if it worked.

Ya, thanks anyways, it doesnt seem to go away for me, and i flashed Chrome rom, and it is fixed now.... thanks anyways, and again, great ROM, chrome isnt compared to it. but i like Wifi
am downloading it now (v13).. lets see. will update on ur link if i run across any problems
This is a great looking ROM. Like its almost ripped out of the TP2 or a Hero. Very quick and responsive. One noticeable isssue Ive had is a resizing problem when texting in landscape. Other than that, im also pleased i barely had to install anything, like almost everything i needed was there already.
Kudos
Just flashed this rom and I'm very happy with it. Runs very smooth and fast.
Only thing is I can't find the keyboard selector. Was it cooked in or do I have to install it? It seems the fuze keyboard is selected and this makes using the hw keyboard on a TP kind of difficult.
Awesome work on the rom!
Is all the hardware button working?

All seem to be working on my touch pro including volume control.
I had to install the fuze / pro keyboard selector to get the hw keyboard working correctly.
Home button
Is there any chance to make Home Button open Manila Home Tab instead of WM start menu?
Hmm I installed chome editor 1.6 and now the lower left button (next to the start button) always says action and when pressed tries to start the htc action screen which isn't there. Is there a way to restore this?
First I want to say Thank You for such a beautiful ROM. It's fast, finger friendly, and professional looking. (Love the slider)
A couple things I have noticed are as followed:
1. Under the Notifications options, when I select "New Text Message", then try to select a different sound it scrolls the window behind the drop down box... not the actual drop down box. Same goes for the "Event" box, but only on some. Hard to explain.
2. Minor but annoying - When waking up and the device is locked, the clock jumps to the bottom of the screen then back up to the top.
3. Another Minor thing - "Start" occasionally shows up on the top left of the screen. Is it always supposed to be there or never? I know it brings up programs.
4. GfxBoost (lol "DO NOT DISTRIBUTE") has some icon issued on the bottom left and right. Bottom left (you can only see 1/4 of the windows logo) and bottom right (Don't know what it's supposed to be)
All-in-all i feel this is a fantastic ROM. I'd love to see what else you got up your sleeve. After about 16 hours I was down to 64% battery with hardly any use, but then again I was in the office where I get ZERO signal!
funny, I can only confirm the first issue. This happens only when using a sweep to scroll. When the slider is used it scrolls ok. I have also seen this pn the activesync screen when selecting message delivery schedules.
I'm running without manilla btw. I love Titanium
I am not registered (yet) on the other forum, hence posting here.
Installed v13 and its amazing.. fast and nice graphics..
Only one issue uptil now. In call recording is not working. It gives an error (something like cannot start ICR, wrong certificate etc..) Can I unistall ICR (not in the remove programs list) and install autocall recorder 1.2 instead? tht gives me more options..?
thanks
Thank You
Very nice ROM, thanks! I haven't gone through everything, but all seemes good so far!
Hey herg!
I had no idea you were a chef too! I flashed your rom and it is kick ass so far...
Aside from TF3D being a little sluggish (not that I care since I no longer use it... iPhoneToday all the way... for now ) it have not seen bugs.
BT file transfer - oK
3G connection - oK
ActiveSync - oK
Battery life - pretty good so far
GPS lock on - to be tested later
Wifi - to be tested later
I will try to report some more later on, but so far... kick ass!
love it
i havent updated to D-fresh-est but your doug-e-fresh is an amazing rom thank you for your contributions buddy im flashing this sucka tonight

in 6.5.1 builds the keyboard selector is gone. Instead, hold down the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen and the selector pops up. That's the good...the bad is that it makes it harder to toggle the keyboard off the screen cause pressing it leads to he selector instead of toggling but that's the build, not the ROM. I'm still loving the ROM
Searching through the Internet for the possible solution regarding "Wake Up from Standby" problem i came across this Article.
The suggested solution for users facing this problem was to deselect the "Auto Adjust Backlight" option from the Power settings menu.
The suggested solution for Kitchen Chefs was to use another Power Application in their Kitchen.
I think that this could be useful for all of us.
for the wake issue, try this it should work :
1) take the flesh.bin, the ACER_EUU and the extrom.bin, from arto's rom,
2) then take the original acer 3.003c and extract the .exe file in a folder with winrar or sevenzip
3) dump the .amf file from it with the toolbyamper
4) now delete from the original acer rom those files: flesh.bin, extrom.bin, ACER_EUU, toolbyamper and the .amf file
5) put the flesh.bin, extrom and ACER_EUU that you take from arto's rom and put it in the acer v3 folder...
here you go !
jeje too complicated this last solution...
i tried solution mentioned by brianmaster and it works...

How to make what the device with SRS WOW HD 1.5.1.0 woke up?
How it has made Arto in the rom?
I wish to instal RU rom, but srs hd wow only on Arto rom works without a dream!
Sorry my bad English
You must uninstall SRS WOW HD 1.5.1.0, this driver is only for HTC
So on Arto rom works srs wow hd! Also does not sleep!
I even took srs wow hd from Arto rom, all the same on others rom does not work!
SRS WOW HD works only on Sense ROMs like Arto's.
right now use Arto rom, but it would be desirable to put RU rom and to fasten srs wow hd, but ways I so understand was not present (

I think that the wake up issue is caused by a conflict between windows and acer relating to the < End Key > fuction.
I've tried this for a day and it works for me:
Of corse uncheck < Auto adjust backlight by battery level>!
preferences-phone-check wake up from sleep
preferences-End Key-choose lock and suspend( hold to suspend)
Settings-System-backlight-battery tab-check both boxes
Settings-System-backlight-external power tab-check both boxes
Settings-personal-buttons-button 2 choose <Today >from menu on the bootom
TO WAKE UP PHONE: PRESS ( < ) button at bottom of device.
This W\Official acer ROM( don't know about settings in cooked ROM)
Also:< SRS-WOW HD> works beatifully on stock Rom
1.Installed SDK certs., .net config.3.5 Then:
2.Install SRS-WOW HD to device ( afer installation finishes *SOFT RESET*)
3.after reset go to settings-Sys-srs wow icon open and make personal adjustments.
Hoping this works for all!
arghh !! I'm still having wake up issue either I'm using v3 flashing tools...damm !!! I have this !
I've went back to Arto's ROM wich hasn't got the wake up issue. But when i used active sync it did again. I disabeld the active sync and then I was perfect again.
So maybe active sync has something to do with it to?

Did you had some issues with my Modular ROM? If you share it with me, maybe i can make improvements.
Yes, I've treid your modules Rom and really loved it. Unfortunatly I had the wake up issue (i reported it in your tread and you also fixed me a cab for dutch language realley fast
In arto's ROM I don't have the problem unless active sync is on push (or other polling, haven 't tried) no mather wat setting I use for backlight or wake up when a hardkey is pressed.
I think you have to contact Arto because he problely has the solution (since his Roms don't have it......

Well, i am using the Geek Rom since i cooked it, and don´t have any wake up issues.
That is strange then...... Maybe I'll flash your rom again sometime but i'm pretty satisfied with arto's rom so far.
I'll let you know by time

No problem. Arto also makes very good ROMs.
3.003 drivers were supposed to fix the wakeup problem, but it seems there are certain options/customizations that still can create the wakeup problem.
For example, I have had wake up issues on all the ROMs I've tried (Rafyvitto's, Arto's and UFE's).
I have disabled backlight based on light levels and the problem occurs much less often. Currently trying the extended version posted a little earlier (using Acer Preferences, so any key can wakeup from standby, etc.)
I do use activesync to sync with my computer; I do download push mail (from gmail); I do use swype; I automatically download weather info - on any ROM I use... so it is possible that either of these is the culprit...
/Sifaan
In two weeks i didn't have one wake up issue with my ROM.
Autobacklight is on, i don't use the end call button for sleep mode. I just press the power button and S2U2 locks the device.
And i deativated the option to turn the backlight of if the device is not used for 30 seconds.
Possible reason for wake up problem
I am nearly sure that wake up issue occurs when i change something in windows folder. Especially when i change lockscreen, use some programs related to device lock and change start menu icons etc., wake up problem occurs every time regardless of rom (i have used nearly all custom roms)
Hello,
the last 2 times that i had this wakeup issue, the story was the following:
-i received a text
-i went in my incoming box and looked for the message
- next i closed the incoming box by pressing the end key
- screen turned off 1 minute later
and so no way to wakeup my phone !!
Hope it could help, bye.
Kubuntu for the HTC HD2 version 0.1.0
This release is intended to be run via Haret from within windows mobile.
A MAGLDR version will be released as soon and problems have been ironed out.
Consider this a Technology preview and as such is not intended for daily use.
08/01/11 2:30pm GMT: Sorry for the delay in release I've had a few breakthroughs and decided to implement the changes now rather than do several releases in one week. PM me if you can host the files for me.
What is Kubuntu?
Put simply its the debian based Desktop class OS Ubuntu built with the KDE UI instead of GNOME
Whats special about this release?
Built from scratch - Using Rootstock to create a clean fresh ARM Kubuntu 10.10 rootfs.ext2 image with which to start from.
Finger friendly - Uses Kubuntu's Plasma Netbook UI tweaked in detail by me to allow for optimized touch experience without compromising on screen space.
Some examples:
Hide titlebar and menu bar on maximized windows - Menu, close and unmaximize all tucked into the top panel.
Unmaximized windows have big buttons on the titlebar.
Large fonts in menus
Easily switch between open apps - Uses Desktop Effects to zoom out and present all open windows in a sexy grid, all from a quick tap of the top panel
Better experience - Some niggles from the original Ubuntu 0.2/0.3 release have been addressed:
Better Keyboard - kvkbd - comes with Kubuntu already
Better click and hold options - Thanks to Clickity you can customize your click and hold experience
Overhaul of connectivity options - Completely rewritten connectivity scripts to include intelligent notification tray icon and messages to inform you of 3G/Wifi/USB modes and Internet connectivity. Store settings and choose what option you require on startup. All accessed from a little connectivity icon at the bottom of home screen
==Note: Not quite finished this yet, waiting till i have finished it and packaged it into an installer so HD2 Ubuntu 0.3 users can have it too before i release my kubuntu build. Fingers crossed its only an hours work away.
What Works
3G - Added system tray notification support, Showing if 3G is on and also if it is connected to internet or not.
Wifi - Uses WICD. Default network-manager almost worked, it showed available wifi points but could never complete a connection, reverted to WICD
USB Host - connect lots of different usb devices. See this for instructions
USB Network (Not been able to use internet sharing as yet but can ssh)
SMS and Phone using latest ofono 0,25-1 and Sphone 0.0.5 - no sound tho
Battery notification! - Works perfectly giving status in taskbar, Icon shows charge level, plugged and unplugged icons too.
What still does not work - Mostly Kernel related I am not working on these currently I have simply made a new filesystem see htc-linux for info.
Sound
Bluetooth
GPS
Accelerometer
Hardware buttons not functional
No Screen Rotation
Suspend/Sleep - Power management set to turn off screen after 4 mins to conserve battery. Set in Power saver mode when unplugged Performance when plugged.
Q&A Bugs issues and Workarounds
There is no keyboard on login screen and I need to enter a password i I have enabled paswordless login so just click the (>) to login.
Keyboard Closed - Click on Home at the top left and reopen kvkbd.
Press and hold does not right click - Clickity should be on the taskbar, if not open from Utilities on Home screen. You can toggle the press hold action by pressing the mouse taksbar icon repeatedly until the icon shows the required function.
Freezes -
Can happen if your running something intensive. Wait a few minutes without touching anything and often it comes back to life do not repeatedly click anything you will make it worse.
Often its just one app causing the problem. Bring up the keyboard with floating shortcut and the following shortcuts may help (Click it once and wait a mo if your system is freezing):
Ctrl + Alt + Esc - Turns the pointer into a skull and crossbones app killer, next click on the unresponsive app to kill it.
Alt + F4 or Ctrl + Esc - Normal Close.
Ctrl - Alt - Backspace - restart the x-server
Other useful keyboard shortcuts
Win + D - Go to Home/Desktop
F11 - Fullscreen App toggle, only for some programs.
Alt + Tab - Switch to previous open window
Install Instructions
Extract the linux folder to the main directory(!) of your Storage Card.
If the linux folder is not located in the main directory of the Card,it will not work.
Note: This will not touch your phone's internal memory. WinMo or other Linux/Android builds remain unchanged.
Startup Advice
1) Save all your current work and start the HaRET executable in the linux folder of your SD card to boot Linux.
2) Wait a few moments untill you see the Kubuntu login screen. Do not press anything and it will auto login after a 10 second delay.
If you accidentally click the screen you will notice the password vanish and there is no keyboard! Never fear passwordless login is enabled so just click the (>) to login.
3) Enjoy
4) Shutdown using the power icon on the top panel.
Thanks and references

WHATS NEXT FOR HERESANDYBOY?
Working on XUBUNTU rootfs at the moment - should be speedy
Testing KUBUNTU 11.04 MOBILE currently - its no where near usable frankly may be better to wait for a proper release.
Will be keeping an eye on htc-linux for new kernel updates and Ubuntu for HD2 for improvements and fixes.

New Pics, More to come soon...
KDE on HD2. AWESOME!!!
OOOhhh, Exciting!
Can't wait to see the pics!
Good job!
Great!! I Cant wait to try it out thanks a lot for ur work!!!
this sounds crazy man, awesome work, I cant wait to have this on my hd2
Wheres the download link :0?
So the only difference between this, and dcordes version is the interface? Anyways looking forward to seeing the progress on it.
So cool! There's so much new stuff going on with the HD2 right now! Awesome that we now have a choice of gnome or kde, thanks for sharing man, real good stuff

My apologies to everyone for the delay in release.. I have a few more bugs to iron out mainly performance issues and i've expanded my own software to handle network mode notifications etc even further so it should be fully comprehensive. Im also looking into modifying sphone to work better on HD2, I've already revised the icon set so the ugly black and white network signal icons are now beautiful. I will release this as soon as I am happy it runs perfectly. A couple more days and you will have all my efforts to play with! Please anyone get in touch if you can host the download for me and I will send you a copy as soon as I am ready.
The wait is almost over!

A nightmare has befallen my HD2, the usb port has come loose and I am unable to charge it to complete this work, I have just ordered a cradle with spare battery charging slot so when it arrives I'll finish the last bit of work I have to do. I managed to sort out most of the performance issues and am really happy with the battery life, general usability and finger friendliness. Theres just a bit of testing to be done on my custom made software and its ready to go! Devastating I cant test usb host mode. Guess I'll have to find a HD2 with the spare parts I need on ebay as repairing the usb is not an option, theres nothing to solder back its torn the connections on the board.

have you looked at following the tracks on the board towards the closest part, and solder a wire between that and the connector?
it's close to what i done on my modified usb hub to bypase the diode which original protects the host usb port and controller chip, so the external powersupply powers everything.

I managed to sort out most of the performance issues and am really happy with the battery life, general usability and finger friendliness. Theres just a bit of testing to be done on my custom made software and its ready to go! Devastating I cant test usb host mode. Guess I'll have to find a HD2 with the spare parts I need on ebay as repairing the usb is not an option, theres nothing to solder back its torn the connections on the board.

This is Sad ... i will still eagerly wait for it ... please also add sound to it .. i guess this is without sound .. isin'it ?
Both the on-screen keyboard and the menu keep annoyingly popping up on my Viewpad7. It is driving me crazy.
At some point I thought it had to do with how I moved the device around, but I still think it's a random thing. It was/is a problem before and after loading it with a custom rom.
Is this a known hardware (or software?) bug ? If so, is there a cure for this? I have looked for settings, but was unable to find them. Thank.

Hi
Have the same problem and some other users here too.
Seems the Touchscreen/Softkeys are faulty and have to be replaced.
I bought mine 1 week ago and day by day it went worser. I didn't upload a custom rom so far, so it's a stock problem.
Now every 2nd time I take the device it vibrates and menu/keyboard keeps popping up/down. Looks like, the "menu" softkey does his own business, right?
Also the G-Sensor/Compass seems to be defective for me - after a few hours I have to calibrate always.
I made some videos, look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258052
Where have you bought yours?
Regards
With my device it was when I held it in landscape mode and touched the bottom part of the right side or the rightmost part of the bottom of the device itself. It was also HWVer 103. You will most likely have to get the screen and soft keys replaced like I did.

Or, it could be just be a "normal" thing with Froyo OS itself, I've noticed it on 2 newer build - both ITE enabled - in U.S. market.

This happened only on certain Apps - even when Auto Rotation under Settings are turned off, it will switch to the "opposing" mode and won't go back once it make that orientation change, i.e. YouTube whereas Angry Birds will stay landscape all the time. Device has been calibrated & sensors working, as I had no issues with GPS status & Maps, etc.
Should be a simple fix or patch on the OS or custom ROM .... BTW, I'm running the stock, rooted 2.2.2 ROM while waiting for an OC one with the ITE kernel working to boost the Quadrant scores, LOL.
Ours seems to be more a hardware problem since it happens anywhere, with autorotation on or off, after a complete hard reset (without any additional apps installed) and simply by touching the case itself (not the screen)...

Hmmm, interesting after I checked out a few YouTube videos & it sounded like it's all HWVer 103 yet running Froyo 2.2.2. Is the device ITE enabled as I noticed that the pop-up keyboard is "standard" whereas mine has Swype style keybaord with ITE.
It's a pain to get it returned, exchanged & repaired at the authorized factory service center and be without the use for 2+ weeks, unless one's within a 30 days period & can send it back to the place of purchase for a new one (could take just as long)
Another post mentioned a new stock ROM just being released, it might be worth an effort or try to flash it (FM6-3350-0-1008-A01.nb0) upon downloading & using the SUTL3 app to do it - would need to root it again - if one is brave enough (since it's going back for repair/exchange anyway?)
BUT, I'm guessing whether this newly released stock ROM is for ITE devices vs. non-ITE ones with HWVer 103, 106 and 107's ???
The button clicking by itself or when under vibration is an HW fault.
pulling the back off and wedging some paper near the touch IC to keep pressure on it has fixed mine.
Brought it back to the store for repair. I think they put a new screen and cover (back) on it. Works like a charm.

Can you describe more precisely how and what did you do or can you (better) do some photos?
Did you pulled off a back cover and inserted a piece of paper somewhere?
Need to experiment
Software solution
This is a solution from a user 'retrochip' from 4pda.ru forum
(Link to original post in Russian and i'm not able to post is here)
1. Root your device (can be done with Gingerbreak)
2. Find out codes for Menu button and Search button (229 and 217)
3. Edit configuration file /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl (you can use RootExplorer)
In qwerty.kl:
Find text:
key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED
and change to:
key 217 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
Find text:
key 229 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
and change to (just comment it with #):
#key 229 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
Save and reboot.
Now Menu button isn't active and Search button works as a Menu button.
No annoying random popping keyboard anymore.
This has killed my all soft buttons, now the only option is to fix it in adb, because screen keyboard doesn't appear in terminal, I need to touch menu then screen keyboard.
Greeting everyone.
I recently got an Android and I also recently decided to root and stick a custom ROM on it. Everything went fine and dandy with that and I'm currently on Cryanogen 9 Alpha ROM (it's spectacular to say the least).
On the default ROM you could choose to turn off the key lights (I'm talking about the touch keys on both sides of "the master button"). However, neither does Cryanogen 7 or 9 offer me this option and because I'm so used to it, lights seem weird and unnecessary.
So, after searching the interwebz for a while, I couldn't find anything useful and hence my post.
Thanks in advance for any help given.
Furthermore, fantastic video!
Bump! (Too few characters apparently).

This requires .bln (BackLightNotifiation) mod which isn't featured in my current ROM (Cyanogen 9).
Thanks for the input anyhow.
I would like to know this too. The keys are allways on in CM9 unfortunately

It turns out that you can turn them off in CM7 but unfortunately I'm yet to find a fix for CM9.
you can try to modify the following script in the middle of this post to make it work in cm9

Thanks a bunch for the link.
I'll definitely give it a try when I have a bit of spare time.
EDIT: This script also requires BLN (which I talked about above) and after searching long and hard, I have found out that there is no ICS kernel with BLN support (while some others knew this, I certainly didn't).
After looking around further it seems that I/we won't get the feature for a while since BLN seems to be the only way apart from integration within the ROM (like it is within TouchWiz or CM7) that you can turn off your soft keys.
Latest build of CM9 has removed backlight!
'Tis a glorious day.

Wow, I've been looking for a way to disable the keys and while the script won't work for me messing with the settings did the job, that was my only issue so far. Cheers for the share. I'm using MIUI with siyah if anyone cares in order to make it work.
PS: games and movies look much better with no white lights :O
EDIT: Well, guess I was beat by the software had a notification during the night, and now the lights only stay off until the first time the screen gets turned off, after that they go back to their normal behaviour unless I reboot :|. On the look again for another way.
EDIT 2: Ok, I'm not giving up, for now I found yet another way for anyone interested (you need a BLN kernel however).
I installed BLN Control Pro, disabled everything and put BLN blinking: On and Led OFF time 3 minutes.
Now what I do is enter Test mode, turn the screen off and on, and now, the lights will be off for as long as I keep the program running. The only problem with this, is that BLN stops the phone from going into Deep Sleep, so I just need to remember to turn the test mode off and to disable BLN whenever I don't need the buttons off.
It's not a pretty solution but for now it's the best I could come up.
no setting for that
