I know I can do this with screen filter but I don't like that it (screen filter) keeps a notification in the taskbar. Is there anything else that can turn off the button lights, that works the same way, without the notification?
Thanks
I am also very interested in this too. I'm using screen fliter as well for now which isn't perfect.
If your rooted try an app called covedesign. Should solve your problem. Some selections have to be chose twice.

Or try LEDs hack. Haven't tested it on evo3d yet though
I wrote a script that runs in g script, from market.
It runs on my 3d and toggles the button leds from on to off and back.

I am rooted and it does require it.

Here's a small .zip file that will remap your search button to open Camera.apk
Flash the .zip in recovery. There is also a .zip to revert to stock as well. Enjoy!
Sweet, thanks. That's gonna make life a lot easier!

Works perfectly
Its working most of the time but sometimes the camera comes up but its just a black screen and sometimes it says Camera failed. All in all it works most of the time. Nice work!
great find thatdudebutch! I see that the concept behind it is pretty flexible, have you tried running any other programs with the softkeys?

Yeah I just tried it about twenty times in a row and no blank screen. Wonder what the deal is? Camera in fact opens quicker remapped to search IMO.

Is there a way to have the 3 hardware "buttons" stay on anytime the backlight is on? I switch between devices often and it can be a pain to remember which button is which at night.
This question comes up often. Please do a search.
Download Adjbrightness (free, need root) from market.
it has options to force soft buttons on or off
Hope it helps

This seems to allow a full range of screen brightness adjustment but doesn't seem to offer any option to keep the buttons turned on when the screen is on.

Anyone else have an idea? I flashed streakdroid 1.9 just to see if the above suggestion worked. Still no go.

Still no go. Used both the brightness and the timeout set buttons. Button backlight only stays on for about 5 seconds.
same here.....
At first I didn't like the light not staying on either, however after about a week, it was pretty easy to remember which the 3 buttons are and where... even in the dark. Now I don't mind at all.
Tip... touch lightly anywhere on that side and it lights up.

My app drawer button is non-functional ish. The app drawer button doesn't always select in the green tone to show it's been activated. I know the screen recognizes it's being pressed because the full-screen weather animations stop once I press the screen but the rosie button doesn't... go. I tried resetting HTC Sense, no go. I don't know what's wrong.
Anyone else got this issue?

I've never had that happen. Are you using the stock HTC skin, or are you using one of the themed skins? Just curious on that. If you're not using the stock one, perhaps try switching back to the stock skin? A battery pull maybe? Sorry I don't have a better suggestion for you.

Well you can try rebooting the phone and removing the battery for a few seconds, but I'm going to assume you have done that already.
Second would probably be a hard reset, which I guarantee to fix your problem since it seems to be some sort of software hiccup.

EDIT : Get a drawing app and see if you can draw in the bottom left corner. If you can't, then you have a problem with the digitizer not registering in that area.

Okay I will try the drawing app, and yeah I've pulled the battery to no avail. I'll try the app, then just see if it works itself out.
EDIT: Drawing app worked fine, it's a Rosie issue. Hmm.
on that note
On the same note. Is there a way to change what is launched when you tap the button?

I don't believe that's possible without full root. It is definitely possible to remap the rosie buttons, but I don't think we can until we get S-off. (could be wrong, because there's a ton of talented devs here, but I dont think so)
Someone (literally just forgot who) is trying to repackage all of Rosie itself so it can be installed as an apk with a ton of mods, but again, I can't remember who.
Oh also, the button is now fully functional. Just kind of started working randomly, but oh well! That works for me.
Has anyone found a screen off/lock app or widget that properly works with the Atrix? I have tried Extended Controls, Widgetsoid, and Screen Off and Lock. They all "work" in a sense but they also take you to the "Stock" lock screen before actually turning the screen off.
I used to use Screen Off and Lock, but it stopped working correctly with 2.3.4. I deleted it.

Below is a link to 'Elixir' in the Market. Give it a try, see if that's what your looking for. One of its widget shortcuts has a 'Screen Off' function.

*Edit*
After looking more at this app it won't do what your looking for. The developer says there's is a new version coming soon, so maybe then it will have that feature.

Same issue. All those apps mentioned by the OP worked beautifully before 2.3.4. I really had gotten used to just pressing a widget instead of the awkward fingerprint-reader-power-button. Now they just throw you to the lockscreen.
I hope they figure out a fix.

After an update, Screen off and Lock quit. It would lock the screen, but no off, even after a long time. Uninstalled and reinstalled it. Works fine again!
But, it does take you to the system shutdown screen first!

Looks like I found a simple little Widget that works well. You can give it a try see if its what your looking for. I just put the widget on my home screen, when it's pressed it goes in to a 5 second count and then shuts the screen of completely.

Hey all,
Check out the app LED Blinker Pro, there is an option to have a blinking light on the screen. Looks exactly like previous samsung phones, and you can also have multiple lights for different notifications. Problem solved!

Did you try it and does it work?
Just to know if the API that supports it is there.
It seems the downsides of all the led apps is that once you get the notification you can't unlock the phone with the fingerprint sensor, you have to double tap the screen or something to cancel the app and then unlock the phone.
Working pretty well for me this far. I added this app on my gf's and my S10 Plus's. Besides going through the bevy options we have it setup. The light only goes around the camera when a notification comes in. Still doing some tsing so I'll update if anything.

There is an option though that you can select that if you pickup your phone, it goes right to the lock screen so you don't have to dismiss the led screen.
