Slade it is for keyboard light we need to read the logcat if the key lit is slight out keyboard light goes on
If the lit is out you get keys=2/1/2 so if the script can read that and then echo a 1 to the keylight file
Thats what we need

then
cat /dev/input/event0|read -n 4

EDIT: Dont working, i need to fix, script is bad
EDIT: On /system/bin/logcat dont exist logs, i opened logcat, and no logs

do a cat on /system/bin/logcat in your terminal emulator
works for me

---

Put the script in /etc/init.d and put this above your script then a blank line and then your script
''#!/system/bin/sh'' without quotes ofc
And make sure permission is 777 or 755 (rwxrwxrwx or rwxr-xr-x)
And name it 00keyboard
And one more thing you are checking the logcat now and then check and read the event0
We found out reading the event0 wont work
So that line will **** up the script
Delete the line ''cat /dev/input/event0|read -n 4''

Something like this:
'#!/system/bin/sh
# keyboard in/out fix
su
dev=/sys/devices/platform/msm_pmic_misc_led.0
fich=/system/bin
logcat > $fich/logcat.txt
if [ -e cat $fich/logcat.txt | tail "keys=2/1/1" ];
then
echo 1 > $dev/brightness
sleep 1
else
echo 0 > $dev/brightness
sleep 1
fi

I think it need to look something like this?
Long sleep so it dont check it to often
And then loop the script so it keeps checking

yah that works, but we need to make it working without console, on a batch script
last that i got
#!/system/bin/sh
#
# keyboard in/out fix
dev=/sys/devices/platform/msm_pmic_misc_led.0/
fich=/system/bin/
if [ -e cat $fich/logcat | grep 'keys=2/1/1' ];
then
echo 1 > $dev/brightness
sleep 9
else
if [ -e cat $fich/logcat | grep 'keys=2/1/2' ];
then
echo 0 > $dev/brightness
sleep 9
fi

Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/logcat | grep 'keys=2/1/1' > /sdcard/true.log
if [ -s /sdcard/true.log ]; then
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_pmic_misc_led.0/brightness
rm /sdcard/true.log
sleep 1
else
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_pmic_misc_led.0/brightness
sleep 1
fi
its a dirty hack but give it a try.
it checks wheter created file is greater than 0 bytes which it is if true.log was created.
it removes true.log if successfull.

This script runs once now dark so if u wanna check open the keyboard and do this in terminal
Adb shell
Sh ./system/etc/init.d/00keyboard
You need to add a loop if you wanna to check over and over again
But you need to add longer sleeps then so it would not eat battery the problem then is that it will not put keyboard light on when you slide the lid open but a couple seconds later

it would need to run later so name it 91keyboard after sdcard is mounted.

Called it 91keyboard and then this is the actual code:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#
#Keyboard light fix
/system/bin/logcat | grep 'keys=2/1/1' > /sdcard/true.log
if [ -s /sdcard/true.log ]; then
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_pmic_misc_led.0/brightness
rm /sdcard/true.log
sleep 1
else
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_pmic_misc_led.0/brightness
sleep 1
fi
