Is there a app or something that can make the touch key light stay off when using certain apps? For example while playing a game, it would be nice to have the touch key light to stay off while playing.

Heey!
I love my new SGSII, but when I play games I often accidentally press the soft keys with my finger/hand and the game exits.
So I was wondering if it is possible to turn the soft keys off or disable them when playing games.
I hope someone can help me.
Not possible at the moment. You can turn off the backlight, but thats it.
I frequently use my Epic 4G as an audio player/streamer. I've been using a widget to prevent the screen from sleeping entirely which was all fine and dandy, except that I now have Pandora's GUI burned into the bottom of my phone. I absolutely hate having to press the physical power button to wake my screen and then unlock it just to skip a track or whatever. Does anyone know of an app that would allow the screen to black out, but then awaken via touch? Ideally with no lockscreen, but to the lockscreen without the power button would even be heaps better than having to deal with that physical power key on the side of the phone.
Is there a way to set the touch sensitive control button lights to be on all the time?
I think there may be something wrong with my buttons...sometimes they turn off when i'm typing (the button lights turn off and stop vibrating)
Is this normal?
nevermind..figured it out..
settings -> display -> screen timeout -> never
altho the touch sensitive button lights are based on the light around the phone(light up when dark, light off when not-dark) so the screen being on doesn't matter.
I love my evo 3D but one thing that has been driving me nuts is that whenever im holding it in landscape mode i keep hitting the heat sensitive buttons on the right while playing games or watching movies... this either causes the phone to vibrate or minimizes the app
is there a way to turn off the buttons in landscape mode?

i haven't seen any 3rd party apps which disable these buttons .. the only controls i've seen were for the LED backlight on the buttons, which i don't think is what you're looking for.
i would think, in theory, there should be some type of API an application could tap into which would disable those buttons. the first downside which comes to mind is there is no way to exit out of the application if for some reason the application has any type of issues and the back/home buttons are still disabled.
perhaps with back/home buttons disabled, enable volume rocker to go back to home? the logic starts to get a bit tricky.
the best and most narrowly focused solution which comes to mind would be for the game app developer to handle those buttons during game play. perhaps require the home or back buttons to be held instead of tapped in order to trigger their standard action.
perhaps a 3rd party app could disable tapping the buttons and require them to be held for 5 seconds in order to trigger their standard tapping action?
i know on ics, this is handled a bit better as there are no hardware buttons and they are handled in the software. in the stock ics gallery, the buttons are dimmed to dots instead of their full icons while viewing images, which gives the impression there is greater software control over those buttons than previously.
i'm sure if somebody else has seen any solutions, they'll post up.
hope that helps with a few technical thoughts from the background of an application developer!
Ok, I'd like to know what controls the process of powering on and off of capacitive buttons' lights in AOSP android. Also I'd like to know whether it possible to make changes in it's logic. For example: by default in AOSP these lights are turned on every time we touch the screen, and they turn off after some period of untouching the screen. Samsung devices running stock (at least 4.1+) light up these lights only if we touch buttons, but not the screen. I'd like to know if it's possible to make other devices' hardware buttons' lights follow the same logic (light up only when we touch capacitive buttons, but not the screen).
