Hey Guys!
I've been trying to find a way to keep the softkey light on S2 on MIUI turned off (COMPLETELY, not auto brightness values for button to 0) but there really isn't a way...
I've noticed in CM7 there is a Galaxy SII settings app that can be found independently in Titanium Backup. That app has the option to turn off the softkey backlight completely.
Do you think it's possible to drag that app from CM7 and Install it on MIUI to turn off the keylight? Considering from what I've read MIUI is based partly on CM right?
Go to display setting. Turn on auto brightness and beneath it will be advanced settings or something. Then there should be automatic backlight tab or Light Levels. Click on Edit Other levels.. Underneath button, make the value(should be 225 or 250) go to 0. You're good to go. You can turn off auto brightness then.
Pretty sure the OP said "COMPLETELY, not auto brightness values for button to 0"...Wait...He did
OP - there are various scripts around the place which claim to achieve this. I also use Miui & setting the auto brightness to zero used to work. This stopped working early in the the new year so something has obviously changed in Miui's builds.
I can't vouch for the usefulness of these scripts as I've learned to live with this issue, and I don't have a link for same. Try a Google search & append XDA to your search terms. This should yield something for you.
Edit to add - With regard to pulling over an app from CM7, obviously Miui is CM based so it might work. I guess you can only try it & find out. Can't see how it could do any harm given it's only an app.
@Mistah Thanks loads dude, I've tried some of the scripts from some of the searches I did and nothing seems to work you're right.
I'll give it a shot and see how it goes, but I don't think if i get the APK out i can just install it normally right? I'd have to put it in system>app then do a reboot for it to go in nicely?
I'll test it and report it back here tmrw thanks!
No worries
Yeah I'm not surprised the scripts don't work. Yeah give it a try, put it in /system/app & also might wanna mount /system rw before you install it (if you need to, use an app like Remount to do this). Yeah do a reboot after you've installed it & cross your fingers.
Will be awaiting your report with baited breath

Pm-ed! Thanks!
Replied. Doesn't work & I doubt it will.
I wrote a script which works for me on all kernels with init.d support, here's a link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27703769/Permanently Disable Softkey Backlight.zip
If the flashable zip doesnt work just copy the script and set correct permissions (755). Please report back, because I haven't used the script for a while now...
BLN doesn't work on the script, though. I have located the file which contains the value for the backlight and changed its permissions, this disables the phone to change this value and thus keeping it off. This file is on a different location on almost every phone, so most scripts work on only one particular device.

Hey Joop!
Tested the zip and it flashed but it just seems to force the softkey light on. Doesn't go off at all after that. Thanks for the help though!

So I'm hoping the community can help me solve a problem I'm having compiling the framework-res.apk. I'm using Apk Manager and am trying to add the power menu options to deodexed JL5. The apk seems to decompile without a problem and I went in and made all the necessary edits and then compiled it. The problem is that after it's done compiling it is significantly smaller in size than it should be. I tested this by decompiling the framework and then immediately compiling it back without making any changes; the result is an almost 1mb smaller file. Any ideas why? Well, here's hoping I have the answer in the morning.
Awww nobody knows? I figure with all the rom devs and themers someone would quickly be able to point me in the right direction. T_T
What are you using to decompile then compile that apk? If using apk manager, be sure you set the compression level (have to set it to 0 when i'm working with the phone apk's to kill the ascending ringer, default is set to 9), and set the max memory size to 512, default there is 64. Thats if using apk manager. If you're using anything else to work with the apk's, sorry, but I wouldn't know. Good luck man.
edited: noticed you are using apk manager. try adjusting the settings i mentioned, hope it helps.

Thank you so much for the tip. I was looking at apk manager's options and JUST noticed the compression level setting. Then checked here and see you mentioned that as well as the memory size. I'll post back and let you know if it worked. Hoping I can get this power menu out to everyone soon. Of course, right when I do another leak will come... lol
God forbid another leak right now, I'm just getting ready to tear apart stock jl5 and take a crack at doing something my own. Hopefully I can at least have a few days with jl5 to learn how to break stuff.
Good luck with the framework, interested to hear your results.

It compiled. Took a few tries though. Found out I had totally botched my resource id's. Got them sorted out though and it worked. The real test will be when I flash this puppy to my phone. Now to fix my resource id's in the android.policy.jar and framework.jar. FUN FUN ...
Well **** it didn't work. It actually booted up this time but shortly after started vibrating and crashed. Well... back to the ol' drawing board....
Edit: My phone only crashes when I try to access the powermenu.
Edit2: *facepalm* when I added in the resource ID's for the additional menu options I had to change others to compensate. Well I forgot to change those ID's in the smali... so I guess that means whenever I hold down the power button it looks in two places for what to do and flips a table. At least I know what the issue is [I think]. Time to fix it!
Just thought I'd say that I FINALLY got it to work. I now have the reboot options on stock JL5. W00t!!1one!
I sad in the mod thread I'd pick your brain in the future, guess I'm impatient. What made it finally work?

I join the question of ldrifta.
It would be so kind to explain where he changed the compression to 0, and expanded memory to 256.
It is that to use the APK Manager 10 option, it does not use 7za, but it uses "java - jar apktool.jar", and not be as remove compression to jar.
Thank you.

What theme are you using... most of them incorporate the reboot option... unless your using a custom theme... Might try flashing something like gingerblur, or one of the other popular themes in this forum. Then you can edit the framework-res.apk to your liking, replace what ever icons you want back, and you'll have the reboot option as well. Sorry, I'm ot sure how to just add the reboot option though... sure it will require the editing of services.jar or the framework-res.apk.
the theme im using doesnt have it. i want to modify the theme and add it but im no sure what i need to do to add that feature.. does anyone know how?

Tried it the other day for 2.3.4... incredibly difficult... well, maybe not so much difficult, as it is trying to find a complete set of directions... Apparently, the devs used a combination of two different threads that were written for different phones... so the code lines don't match up and it was a damn cluster **** to try an figure out, so I gave up... Kenneth said this will be implemented on his next update for 2.3.4.
I wish I still had the pages saved, but I deleted them after trying to do this for a couple of hours, so I wouldn't be tempted to try it again. Ask in the IRC chat, there are a few people there that can direct you to the right place if you want to attempt, and good luck.
Bump, anyone find a good source for how to do this on gb? I'm not having luck finding the info.

No one's been able to do it yet as far as I know. The gingerbread file structure associated with the reboot option has changed so much that it is incredibly difficult. I had heard a report that Designgears may have figured it out, but I think it was probably a false report, as no Atrix Dev has yet to incorporate it into a ROM or theme.

Just another update... DG said to me a while back that he was able to add the options, but they screwed up the current options so none of them worked. He did not get it working for the Cognition beta.
I tried my hand as well, but couldn't figure it out.
I used gscript and just made a shortcut on my desktop. Works great.
Is it adding the button to the menu that breaks it?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I tried as well, and all I got was me turning my power button into a reset button, options wouldn't show up.. so there was no way to turn it off, it would just reset my phone when ever I tried to pull up the Phone options..
I was working on this a little bit once I got GB update. I am like 80% the way through it. I can link to what I am going off of-
From the Vibrant Forums
I had all the files edited and ready to rock, the problem I was at was the RECOMPILING. I think I was missing some dependencies.
I got all the way up to that point and had to go home for the day at work- never picked it back up. If I get some time at work today I'll give it another crack.
If I get anywhere I'll post my framework-res.apk.
I followed the steps from that thread too and while I could build/compile everything fine and get the options to show in the menu none of the reboot options would work. Seems we're all having similar issues with this.

I was following that thread as well, and my issue was stated above, then I saw this from the DX2 forum, which has GB and on his change log, he stated he added reboot options.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198857
I grabbed his theme, compared the framework.jar, framework-res.apk, and android.policy.jar files.. they pretty much match up with ours. So, using Notepad++, I did a compare between the files, added what he added, basically looks like the same things from the vibrant how-to. This time around, when I press for the power options, it comes up normal, but the link to the 'reboot' does not show up... I might try this without the battery %, as that takes up alot of the hex id....
I'm thinking we might need to add that line from DG that he did a while back for the first reboot options on froyo...
I also have no problems with recompile... I'll mess around with it some more when I have free time.. I don't spend much time inside during the summers..
has anyone decompiled the framework-res from the g2x's gb build or maybe even CM? Not USE the framework of course, but maybe see what flags that policy uses for a reboot?
edit* seems like previous posted may have tried what I asked. back to the digi drawing board...
I have been tweaking the SystemUI application, changing the way a few things work.
Installation Instructions
Download View attachment SystemUI.apk
Make sure /system is remounted R/W. This can be done with Root Explorer or ES File Explorer. If you get a "Read-only filesystem" error this is the step you missed.
Replace /system/app/SystemUI.apk with the downloaded one.
At this point it is normal for the status bar to disappear. If it starts Force Closing repeatedly, pasting again should stop it so that you can continue to fix the permissions.
Make sure the file is owned by the root user and group.
Make sure the permissions of the file are 644, or read, write for user and read for group and other.
Reboot and enjoy!
I plan on adding killing the current application by long-tapping the back button like CyanogenMod. I can probably add other tweaks if requested.
Changelog
Version 2:
No more QuickNav bar when you press the n button
n button acts like a standard Home button
Version 1:
Permanent back and menu buttons
Hm.. seems to be an early beta... we're trying to work the kinks out of it... but it seems to have some problems right now. (When does anyone release anything right the first time?)
----
I've got it, and it all works as advertised now. I'm rolling it into my update-package, and yay. ... I really need to find a way to get this package out there...
Whoops, forgot Certs the first time around. Download the attachment again, this new one should work great!
Thanks for that. I tested it in settings and no back button! (permissions changed)
Edit: Now it works. This is great! Thanks
Great idea! Have you though about changing the default icons for the status bar?
That is extremely easy to do, but I don't have much artistic talent, so I'm not going to make them from scratch. What would you like to see replaced?

I've had lots of fun in the past replacing most icons with those like the Suave HD Redone pack on my Epic 4g. I'll probably wind up doing the same on here.

Check the first post again. The n button acts like the Home button now.
after using your SystemUI.apk, my n button has completely stopped working. i simply just did as you said in your post "replace the SystemUI.apk". I am now stuck with not being able to use the n button for anything. Any ideas on how to get it to work correctly? are there any permissions or anything that i need to set?
That usually happens when it's initially replaced. Have you tried rebooting? How are you replacing it?
All the apk's in that directory are chmod 644, but it works for me 666. They also should be owned by root.
Please add a version number or a date on thread header text. So we can better see when an update is available.

yea i rebooted a few times and it still didn't work. my last attempt seems to have solved the problem i was having, i had to change permission for owner all three of them needed to be checked (read, write, and execute). Seems to be working now but I'll have to test it a bit more. Thanks for the reply.
I actually backed up the original one anyways so I could have simply just replaced it again to revert back, but it seems to be working for the time being
Well, seems like everything is working like it should for the time being...
Which buttons are the menu and back permanent buttons? are you talking about the ones on the status bar? I don't really see any changes because they were always there to begin with...

Hello all. Major lurker just not a poster here.
Is there any way to turn off the soft key lights on any of the Sense 4 ROM's? I've been running lllboredlll's Sense 4 ROM and I really love it but there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off the softkey lights. I use the phone as my clock at night and the lights from the soft keys are pretty dang bright.
After looking through the "tweaks" included in the other Sense 4 ROM's it doesn't seem to include any way to turn them off.
I've even tried Screen Filter which has a setting to turn them off but it doesn't support all devices.....like this one.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS. I would have posted this in the ROM's section but I lack the required post count
I'm guessing that if it's not in Bored's tweaks yet it will probably be incorporated soon. I flash so many roms its hard to remember but I think on Joel's evita I used the option to dim the capacitive touch buttons.
Also keep an eye out for the new collaborative pkmn rom, it will have some crazy tweaks and options although I can't speak for the devs about what will be included and when.

go into ES, and hit settings from the menu. scroll down to root settings. check root explorer, check mount file system and for safety sake, check backup system app.
you should now be able to change the permissions by long pressing on the file, scroll to properties and hit change on the permissions.

Go into system/app with Root Explorer or some other file manager and rename your Camera.apk to Camera.apk.bak, now move the new camera.apk that you just downloaded here and place it in system/app. Change the permissions to rw,r,r and owner to 0-root 0-root. Reboot and enjoy. Just remember none of these steps will work unless you have a system write kernel installed. Elkay and DSB have provided those kernels for us.
Thanks for this. Can't wait for some bamf Roms to release. :thumbup:

It works also on butterfly models?

This phone is going to blow your mind. Best phone on the market.

Installed this while running ViperDNA 1.0.1.
I used the proper method (rename existing camera.apk to camera.apk.bak and put the new camera.apk in system/app and set perms to rw-r--r--, then rebooted) and the phone is hot booting endlessly... which leads me to think that its kernel related (although I'm using the kernel / boot.img that came with viper, which is dsb's stock sys write kernel). It's strange because that would lead me to believe that perms aren't sticking? Idk.

That is odd! Not sure if this matters, but did you change the owner permissions to 0-root for owner and group? Can't think of any other reason why it would be booting endlessly. Either the kernel sytem/write isn't sticking or perhaps the above permissions need to be changed as well. I think by default one of the two settings are already set at 0-root , but the other one is not, so you would need to do that.

I use Root Explorer, so the only permissions that I see are the Read, Write, and Execute for the Owner, Group, and Others categories (I set them to rw-r--r--. Under that there are Special Permissions which are "Set UID", "Set GID", and "Sticky".. but that's about it.

After you change those permissions back out and go back to the Camera.apk and long press on it, scroll all the way to the bottom and you will see the option Change owner.
