Capacitive buttons script - turn off and stay off - HTC EVO 3D

Modified a script I found somewhere for turning off capacitive buttons. Made it so that they turn off until the phone tries to change it (either light level our screen state) or to make it stick until reboot. Anytime the script is run, it switches states for the buttons. You choose to make it stick or not.
Instructions:
Push the file to /system/bin
Now in adb shell or terminal, type
leds
for temporary change. Type
leds stay
for permanent change.
If you do a stay command, doing a regular command will return control to the phone.

It only works on some ROMs. Typically the ones with gpu tweaks and such it wont work, if not then use screen filter app. Thanks for the script though I do use it when I can.
I didn't know about the leds stay command. Thanks.

That's what made me modify it... Original didn't work on synergy when in flashed it, so completely redid it and it works great now. Lot smaller footprint than an app, and I have terminal in wave launcher so it's a quick thing for me to do at anytime.

Any idea if this works on Vipers Rom?

---

Should work fine now. Try and see, won't hurt anything if it doesn't

Yea im on vipers rom using it.

Not working for me. I am on Vipers ROM and whatever kernal he is using. I used ES file explorer to copy the file into system/bin. Then into terminal typed leds and it said permission denied. Typed su then leds and it said permission denied. Tried a restart and same thing. Did I miss something?

If you don't use adb to push the file, you need to edit permissions on the file. In terminal,
su
chmod 755 /system/bin/leds

Awesome. Worked like a charm.

works fine on <<SteelROM v1.02>>
thank you for this btw i hate the lights when i watch stuff beeing looking for a way to do this.
is there a way i can set up a short cut to do the command through terminal?

---

We need an app that runs this command, like a one click button. I tried doing something with tasker, but I cant really figure it out. I'd pay a dolla for it

---

Has any one been able to download itfrom their phone?

Tasker can probably do this.

---

Script manager will do it and let you set up a widget for it, just tried it. You can even set up for regular and another with arguments to make it stay. Free ad version in the market.

Will this work on MIUI ICS?

---

Yep sure does. Works fine, just tested. Keep in mind the light leakage on the search key that these all have, can't do anything about that.

There is an app on the market called keyboard backlight controller. Free from the market, does exactly what you are asking.
