I'm really sensitive to the button backlight screen bleed on these phones. Here are two things which have helped me so far:
1. mVideoPlayer https://market.android.com/details?id=afzkl.development.mVideoPlayer&feature=search_result
This is the only video player I have found which disables the button backlight when playing in the dark.
2. Screen Filter https://market.android.com/details?id=com.haxor&feature=search_result
Allows you to disable the button backlight all together!!! Set the filter to 100% if you don't want it to dim your screen and the de-select the check box for soft-key backlight.
Ideally I would prefer to find an app which will timeout the capacitive back lighting but I have not been able to find one.
Dude... you just fixed my phone!
I used the screen filter app and it works perfect!
I mean those buttons are in the same place all the time why do they even need to be lit?
Thanks for sharing~

Thanks a lot that screen bleed is gone. Doesn't bother at all now. Never need the keys at the bottom to light anyways.

Nice, but why spend the money if you only using it for that feature??? Couldn't you just run the echo from a Terminal?

Tasker is arguably one of the best apps ever developed on android. Its feature extensive. A must have app for all android devices. Then again, that's my setup, tot i share

Yes it can be tun straight from terminal emulator.
Code:
su
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 0333 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
The second line makes the changes permanent until reboot. Otherwise locking the screen and unlocking again, as well as some other things, will turn the backlights back on again.
To undo the permanence, type this:
Code:
su
chmod 0647 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

Just pull down the taskbar and click on the screen filter icon to disable it , and your apps should install like normal .
I have tasker and I just downloaded secure settings. However I am confused by your instructions. How do I set this up? Do I create a profile if so what profile? What type of task do I assign that profile? Sorry to sound like a tasker newbie but I am. I saw your post purchased tasker and tried to set it up but there is no clear cut way.

sleep 10 (wait 10 seconds)
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness (turn softkeys backlight off)
chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness (make readonly to prevent changes by system)
Thats it, you can tweak however you like, or tell it to stay off when a particular app is running in Fore Ground stuff like that
***You could add a second context to the first So when you are in a bright environment, it doesn't come on
Second Context -> State -> Sensor -> Light Level --- Range (0-15)
Thanks! I will try this when I get home today. I appreciate your detailed and patient response.

OK I think I did something wrong. I created the profile just fine and then created the task by cutting and pasting the text of your command in the run command field of secure settings. Hit apply and nothing has changed.

I've tried searching in the forums, but no luck..
I've installed CM6-v3.1 on my phone, and now it seems that the backlight on the pull-out-keyboard always is on? (as long as the phone's not at standby) It drains my battery.. Any ways to fix this?
Also, I wonder if it's possible to get the key-setup fixed for the pull-out-keyboard?
It's now in English, and I have an Norwegian phone..
Then I have 3more letters in my alphabet (æ-ø-å), which means I have some extra keys on it.. The keyboard is messed up with the signs, but not the letters and numbers.. f.inst. : my dot button (.) and the '':'' button now shows ''?'' and ''!'' ..
My ''æ'' button shows dot (.) and '':''...
See my point ? I think I just need the Original SE ''pull-out-keyboard'' file to replace the CM file? If, how do I get it?
Please answer my first question first, as that is more important to me
Thanks!

and don't panic the led almost don't eat battery mike and i will look into it after fixing the bigger bugs
and please reflash make an backup in xRecovery flash se firmware back
then please copy the /syetem/usr folder and sent it to me (pm) and i will fix your keyboard (i thougt it was the same as swedish (try to flash that one first) if it dont work sent me your usr folder)
after you sent it you can place your floyo backup back

i have the same problem here.. Not just about killing battery owain, but it reduce our own visibility of the keyboard characters itself when we are on the bright room.. Maybe there's a generic fix that we can apply by ourself if that's quite easy for us?
Well anyway if it's easy to fix then i guess you must be already bundling it on the next version Thanks so much for the hard work.

put a "0" in "/sys/devices/platform/msm_pmic_misc_led.0/brightness" file and save it now your led is off and if you want it on again just put a 1 or any number above 1 in the file it is quite simple lol
im trying to get it nice fixed in the CM settings but that kinda hard so when i fail at that i will try another way bash script i guess

starting from the above minimal procedure, you could customize as you want (else trigging from light intensity) the keyboard led behaviour...

I have that same issue about that special bottom right button "àü" in Belgium, which had to show me a panel of symbols or could push it with another key to have a special letter like these "é è ë ê à ç"
it should normally be the same as the french keyboard (don't know if they have QWERTY or AZERTY keyboards tho)

keyboard light
Works perfect for me tasker+locale execute= problem solved. thanks.,..
widget
I'll be the first to admit that I'm a noob. But it seems to me that if you can switch it at runtime with a command it would be fairly easy to make a widget for the switching right?
That way you can manually select at any moment whether you want the light to be on or not. (Possibly working together with the solution above to automatically switch it off when the keyboard isn't out.)

In Tasker you have the ability to "link" the keyb-light-on command to the keyb-out state, aswell to "link" the keyb-light-off script to the keyb-in state (or as exit task)...
BUT
you could also make the command on + off on exit task (keyb-in) LINKED to a variable determined by an external condition (external LIGHT intensity):
in simple words:
hi tasker, i would like to have my keyboard backlight on when i slide out my physical qwerty but only ***IF*** the ambient light level is not enough to make me easily identify the buttons, then, please tasker, turn off the light when I close my qwerty if before you have turned it on.
To achieve this behaviour, just check the ***If*** box by editing the execute command in the created task (keyb-light-on when keyb-state=out) to set the If variable. Select as variable **Light level** (%LIGHT) and link it to a math **Condition Operator** like "less than" (<) then put the desired percentage of ambient light below which (in this case) the command keyb-light-on triggered by keyb-out state will get executed. Remember to also create an exit task with the keyb-light-off execute command (obviously without setting the **IF** variable).
Note:
On tasker, the first time you use the %LIGHT (light level variable) you should expose your device first a while in a dark place, then a while in a WELL lightened place. Do that in order to allow tasker to set properly the on-off border working conditions to internally understand light sensor datas
Hope that could help.
Any doubt --> post here
best regards,
respect!
With this mod you can both modify max led light intensity and force power off to save battery.
Root access required.
You need to go, with a file explorer, here: system/etc and open this file hw_config, then search down echo 20000 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current
Modify ir to echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current and add this other line below echo 0 > $dev/button-backlight/max_brightness
Save, reboot and its done!
If instead of power off you want to set the max just leave echo 20000 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current as originally and set echo X > $dev/button-backlight/max_brightness X = 255 to 0. The default used intensity is 80 so you will notice intensity change from 80 to 0.
thanks mate!
but do you know how to make it stay on with the screen?

Xperia U users may install an app called Screen Filter to turn off the Transparent Panel.
Just unmark 'Enable soft-key backlight' and enable the app.
I've been using it, and works like a charm
P.S. Do NOT set the filter brightness to 0 %. You won't be able to see a thing, and you'll be forced to reset.

Screen Filter doesn't really turn off the Illumination Bar. If you open up the music player, or gallery or even if you just change the theme, it lights up.
Screen Filter just turns off the soft key light characteristics, not the entire functions of Illumination Bar

I know, but the way it disables those soft-key-lights is ideal for me to suppress the normal (theme bases, non-application-bounded) light up actions.
Been trying to figure out where it does what, but still haven't found it (and dev. is not so responsive to emails..)

i always turn off the v on the auto brightness cause i love my on the full bright
but every restart i make it turn back to default ?
I too don't like this behavior, particularly because if restarting the phone in poor light conditions the screen is automatically set to a very low brightness.
I'd like to know if this is a bug or it's so by design...
By design. All my mates did this. Don't like either but is what it is.
yup. an issue for me too
This is seriously a Huawei 'feature'? Holy.... :silly:
Possible solution:
Depending on your exact model and restrictions placed on it in your country/territory you should be able to do the following to stop this (VERY!) annoying issue:
1) Turn-off power-saving battery modes if you haven't already
2) Go into 'Settings' then: System -> Developer Options -> there will be an option called "Increase Readability Under Sunlight" -> Toggle this setting to "OFF"
3) Go back to main Settings screen, then "Display" and ensure that "Auto-Adjust" is OFF
This should stop the phone from constantly turning the automatic adjustment back on every time you restart.
NOTE: Some may find that they do not see a "Developer Options" menu within their System settings. If this is you then you MIGHT be able to activate this hidden menu by going into the System section then About Phone, then press/click the "Build Number" part of the screen 7 times in a row.
If this works for you it will pop up with a message such as "you are now an authorised developer"
If you get this kind of message then if you go back to your main System settings screen you should now see the previously hidden 'Developer Options' section
Hope this helps some of you, I had to do this on my new Mate 20 Pro
I really hoped that 146 update solved this problem, but even with all the above settings disabled, after reboot the auto brightness setting always stays ON...
Even more annoying is the dimming within certain apps. When you open Chrome for example, the display dims. And when you close Chrome the display gets brighter (to its original value) again. Haven't found a way to fix this yet. The problem occurs with autobrightness disabled as well as when the autobrightness is enabled. Also with Increase Readability Under Sunlight toggled off.
I'm looking for a fix that stops the dimming when opening certain apps, but let's me be able to keep the autobrightness function on.
I'm not sure if this works, I'm not even sure if the app is called power genie or power genius. But I saw this in a forum.
. non rooted solution will be: adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.powergenie
Try this as for me it is working perfect. Download setting database editor. Install it, after that go to setedit app and find hw_screen_auto_brightness_adj and delete line. Reboot and voila. No more dimming or increase in autobrightness.

If this works for you it will pop up with a message such as "you are now an authorised developer"
If you get this kind of message then if you go back to your main System settings screen you should now see the previously hidden 'Developer Options' section
Hope this helps some of you, I had to do this on my new Mate 20 Pro

Tried this a couple of times, off/on/off on my p30pro, but makes no difference at all, any other ideas for these phones?
I had the same annoying "issue" with my Mate20Pro.
I have an efficient way to solve this.
Just download MacroDroid app, and you can make a macro with these parameters: after turn on do: set brightness to X% and turn off auto adjust.

Thank you for introducing this very useful app
It'd be brilliant if you could provide the exact instruction to do the parameters ... I couldn't figure it out after trying for several times
Cheers
Just stop rebooting your phone. It doesn't need it. Worst case is that you have to enable it after Android updates.
I have made "Moto_LED_Blinker.prj.xml" file. See attached file.
This is a simple LED Blinker for the rooted Motorola Edge 20 Lite(Fusion)
"Moto_LED_Blinker.prj.xml" is a project file of "Tasker" for the blinking LED notification.
It is require "Tasker" for the running it.
The LED starts to blink by:
a phone calling.
a message of some messenger applications(Eg, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram and so on).
a charging battery.
And the LED stops to blink when open an anpplicable application.
Moto_LED_Blinker.prj.xml is not a perfect.
However, it is so nice.
Please customize it for your device.
Regards!
this sounds great!
i've never used tasker before, can it be exported as a stand alone app so people without tasker can use it?

Techinical Iinformation:
Moto_LED_Blinker.prj.xml makes LED on and off by writting data to /sys/class/leds/charging/brightness.
This writing operation require the ROOT permission.
It is possible to export as a standalone application and people can execute the application without Tasker.
In this case, the standalone application have to be ran with the ROOT permission.
We need ROOTED device for the running the standalone application.
I have no plan to export the standalone application.
Because:
(1) There is no easy way to verify that the standalone application is secure by another person. This is a great chance to mix malicious code into the standalone application.
(2) The standalone application can not change a triggering application for the LED blinking.
(3) After all, the standalone application needs ROOT permission.

Nice work
This reminds me.. I need to fix the flashlight toggle on pbrp.
Do you know which dir is for flash / torch?
I assume it'll be one of these 3.. Not had a chance to test
Code:
/sys/class/flashlight/mt-flash-led1
/sys/class/flashlight/mt-flash-led2
/sys/class/flashlight_core/flashlight

Hi,
I had confirmed in my Edge 20 Fusion.
I think that the torch is depend in /sys/class/flashlight/mt-flash-led1/ directory.
Because:
When the torch is OFF then follwing results.
:/ #
:/ # cat /sys/class/flashlight/mt-flash-led1/torch_brightness
12
:/ # cat /sys/class/flashlight/mt-flash-led1/mode
Off
:/ # cat /sys/class/flashlight/mt-flash-led2/torch_brightness
0
:/ # cat /sys/class/flashlight/mt-flash-led2/mode
Off
:/ #
When the torch is ON then follwing results.
the mode file of mt-flash-led1 says "Torch".
:/ #
:/ # cat /sys/class/flashlight/mt-flash-led1/torch_brightness
12
:/ # cat /sys/class/flashlight/mt-flash-led1/mode
Torch
:/ # cat /sys/class/flashlight/mt-flash-led2/torch_brightness
0
:/ # cat /sys/class/flashlight/mt-flash-led2/mode
Off
:/ #
I had tried to write "Off" and "Torch" into mode file.
It was failed. It so regrettable.
:/ #
:/ # echo Off > /sys/class/flashlight/mt-flash-led1/mode
: can't create /sys/class/flashlight/mt-flash-led1/mode: Permission denied
1|:/ #
1|:/ # echo Torch > /sys/class/flashlight/mt-flash-led1/mode
: can't create /sys/class/flashlight/mt-flash-led1/mode: Permission denied

Does this mod use the white led over the top of the screen that lights up on the boot sequence?

Let's try below if you have rooted Edge 20 fusion. You can find which LED going ON ;-)
# echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/charging/brightness
# echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/charging/brightness
For anyone still wondering, it indeed uses the Led near the top grill.
It works well. Thanks.
I found my way around and customized it for my applications using the original application slots.
How to add more such slots?
Second question is that some apps pop up a temporary notification when they are checking for new messages (for example gmail, whatsapp). This notification triggers the script, but since it goes away, I check the phone and there is nothing there. I thought it was a bug until I found out what is happening from the "monitoring" option in tasker. Any way to stop these false alarms?
To answer my second question, I just added that it will trigger the led only if the display is off.
I also changed most off triggers to happen when the notification is cleared instead of needing to open the app.
In my case, I find a false alarm(false notifaction) in the history of notification and disable the false alarm.
> How to add more such slots?
I am very sorry. I have no answer because I don't know slot.
Good morning. Where can I find the procedure to import the file on tasker in my Edge 30 fusion? Thank you
Is it possible to detect fold/unfold using tasker? And then execute some tasks as a result?

Apparently it is by looking at the log; kaledh44 has worked it out.

In Tasker create a new profile choose Event and search for logcat entry.
>>>Fold
Component
OplusFoldingAngleManager
Filter
notifyFaceHallEventChanged status:3
>>>Unfold

@kaledh44 do you know if is possible to have Gmail and GMaps in phone mode also in the internal display?
Thank you

by using shell command
(adb shell wm density 300)
The only problem that we dont have root access which is needed to run this command in tasker
This appears to have been changed since.
The above solutions no longer worked for me consistently on Galaxy Fold 4.
I managed to get it working with this: ( Tested only on Galaxy Fold 4 )
Folded / Closed: Logcat Entry
Component: DeviceStateProviderImpl
Filter: notifyDeviceStateChangedIfNeeded, newState=0
Unfolded / Opened: Logcat Entry
Component: DeviceStateProviderImpl
Filter: notifyDeviceStateChangedIfNeeded, newState=1
These events are executed once, as/when the inside screen turns on/off.
