CM7 soft key backlights - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to adjust the time frame before the bottom leds go out? I find they go out too fast...

This annoys me as well. Anyone?

I think its under settings, profile, then u can change for each individual profile

How about with glitch kernel v13? The device options are greyed out.

CM7 stock uses a different bln module. So if you flashed glitch (which uses nelders bln module) you break the cm7 bln options. On another note though "pool party" has key timeout setting integrated within tsm parts.
good day.

Dim/disable LEDs on buttons?

Anyone our there have an idea how to do this? I've tried using BLN control but it doesn't do what I need. The app seems broken since even the notifications are wonky.
I am using nemesis2all's OTB Reloaded aosp kernel on cm6.2 beta.

Confused here but don't the touch keys only light up for notifications if you have bln or a similar program installed?
they light up anytime I touch them...

Oh wow you want them completely off...I was thinking for notifications. I'm unaware of any app that'll do this. You will have to dive into the code.
I'd also like to toggle the button backlight off. Haven't found anything but folks who want to extend the backlit time.

[MOD][4.1.2011] Fixed (shortened) touchkey backlights (ED01 Edify 4.28.2011)
Start with that thread. Maybe you can use that as a base to decrease the time even more our eliminate the lights completely.

Hey guys I just converted to CM7 and I'm having a bit of trouble with BLN.
I know I don't have to use the control app in the market, but how do
I change settings for the BLN within CM7?
Also is there a way to keep the backlight on all the time?
I used to use "Keep the lights on" app in the market, but it doesn't work on CM7.

I am currently running the OTB kernel for CM7 and I know it has been said that BLN is built into the kernel and there is no control of it. The next kernel will (dont quote me) have it taken out. I would assume so the app can be used in place of it.
I have looked all over and have yet to find a setting for it but mine works.... just no way to turn it off or have it time out.

Keyboard issues with ICS

So I recently took the leap and took my rooted S2 and put various ROMS on it. For the life of me I cannot figure out the keyboard lag. It starts fine, and, then at times it will slow down so much it's almost impossible to type. It happens on CM9, Ultimatium, SHOstock is the worst and i tried Foxhound, love it, but same issue. And it's not the screen, it's recognizing the buttons pushed from what I can tell, but the device just does not register every keystroke.
I have read and read and just cant find a solution.
Any ideas?
I have only noticed that my t or h key doesnt always get registered, otherwise its fine.

Have you tried fluxxi kernel? It has extensive touch settings so people with screen protectors (maybe you have one?) can really tweak the sensitivity. There's also a "gingerbread" preset that people, incl. myself have been happy with. Also, have you tried changing the touch sensitivity setting on CM9 (and some other ROMs)? It's in System settings > Advanced (or Device Settings) IIRC.
Siyah kernel also has adjustable sensitivity via the ExTweaks app.

Thank you!
I got the Fluxxi kernel. Any chance you might be able to tell me where the "gingerbread" preset is?
I'm going to play around with CM9 again, I'm using AOKP right now, and it seems to be ok.
Did you install the xxTweaker app from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26350589&postcount=1 ? All of the configurable settings are controlled by xxTweaker.
If not, do that first, and then open the app. You'll find it under "Display".

[Q] Disable Hardware lights/leds for AOSP Roms???

Anyone know how to disable the hardware lights for the front buttons? I see two different areas of potential:
1. Modify the following config files located here: /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/ and set the permissions to read only. Issue: will not keep after a reboot.
2. Remove following lib: lights.msm8960.bak. Issue: Kills notification LED as well. Anyone know if this lib is proprietary or open source? Anyone to modify it to only turn off the button backlights?
Thanks in advance.

Are you using the stock ROM? if then, go to Settings -> Display -> Notification Flash and deselect "Use LED light for notifications" checkbox.

He's talking about the lights on the capacitive keys, not the notification led on the power button...

The front capacitive key lights can be turned off (on stock-based ROMs) in settings > display > Front key light.
Thanks for the replies. Looking for a solution for AOSP based roms. I should have stated that.

Make an init.d script with the code you provided, it'll "fix" the problem of not sticking after a reboot.
I assume that you have a rooted phone. If your kernel doesn't support init.d, you can use any of plenty different solutions to enable it.

It is open source. It should be trivial to modify to disable button backlight, or put a toggle in place. Not saying that I know how. Also, it should be noted that that also controls the lcd backlight, and it will cause it to not be able to be adjusted if deleted / renamed.
EDIT:
Actually, I took a look at it, and you can try replacing the lights.msm8960.so with this file. I am not sure if it will work on any kernel other than the one I compiled it with, but it is worth a shot.

Capacitive Buttons not working

So I think the capacitive buttons on my Rezound have bit the dust. I was having trouble with CM 10.2, and thought that was the cause. I have since tried various roms that had worked in the past and have tried going back to a stock rom to no avail. I now believe I just have a good old fashioned hardware failure.
I'm trying to figure out a work around, as I can't really afford a new phone currently. Does anyone know if we have any ROMs that have the home and back buttons on them like a Nexus device, (where they are the black and white softkeys at the bottom)?

All CM10.2 based roms have em, just need to enable the buttons. Using PIE controls is an option also.
To enable the Nav bar, try adding this to your build.prop and reboot.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Edit: Just noticed a typo, cut it from another site, it's fixed now.
Thanks for your reply. I've never edited any build.prop before, I knew you could do that but didn't know why you would or what it did.
I installed CarbonRom to get the nav bar and it seems to work pretty well.
Edit: can I turn off the lights for the capacitive buttons with a build.prop?

You can use kernel tuner and slide the slider to 0. That'll disable the lights.

Check to see if Carbon has a Buttons section under the Settings, if so you can turn the brightness off.

I added that line to build.prop in CM 10.2, and nothing changed. Also I couldn't find the pie control options, so I dunno.
Carbon had no buttons section, and I couldn't find an option anywhere else to disable the led lights.
Hmm, you may need expanded desktop on also, I'll try it on mine later.

I found the error, what you typed earlier was wrong - it's "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0".
I changed that, rebooted and now it works.
Sorry, copied that from another thread, guess they had it wrong also..

I can confirm that this works on CM11 too.
