Not sure how you would go about this but I really want to ask why? Just because? Or is there a practical reason behind it?

that should work, you might have to disable then re enable when you reboot

some places (with stock, or builds that work like stock) if the light sensor "sees" that it is bright enough the home, back, ect will have the backlight turn off. but i can't see the buttons unless the backlight is on.
i'm using the gummy rom so my button light are always on.
This App ROCKS!!!!

Anyone know of an app or mod that allows you to turn off the softkey backlight when you want? I read on my Vibrant at night & those extra bright softkey lights are hard on my eyes.
does not exist for any GALAXY S.

Really? I had Captivate with i9000 reoriented kernel and those softkeys were lighting only when pressed. So if you tap screen, softkeys do not light - perfect for night reading. Solution that I see - to find a i9000 reoriented kernel for vibrant.
I know there is one called "BLN" (Back light notification I think), the paid version lets you schedule when the lights turn on and off. I have mine scheduled to turn on at five in the morning and off at seven at night. But I think it's just for notifications and not turning them off completely.

Unfortunately BLN doesn't turn off lights completely. But we can ask developer to add such feature .
Anyway there should be some sort of hack for kernel to turn off those keys.

This is correct I know of no Galaxy phone that can do this either Sorry
This is disappointing. I know it can be done. Because there are plenty of members here that have turned off their BLN keys on accident by using SGS tools, and messing around with it.
So I know the script is there. Just, nobody has done it yet.
Dev,s anybody???
Come on- Let's do this.
Thanks
Bump. I would like this for the Samsung Fascinate. Anyone?
Have you try 'Keep the lights on' in market by Guardian Bob? When toggle Off, the lights stayed off when you tap the screen. Atleast it is for me, I'm on Bi-Winning rom.

It's not the app, it's the ROM. And they come back when you tap the keys directly. I think all 2.2.1 ROMs do this.
Same issue
The key lights really bother my eyes at night....has anyone figured out a solution to this problem yet......please help thanks
Recently, when my phone is exposed to brightness, and the softkey light goes off, the vibrate on the softkeys become very weak. When my phone is in darker places, and the lights go on, the vibrate is solid and good.
I haven't made any changes on my phone that I can think of could cause this. I'm running 2.3.6 rooted. Only changes I've made are some CPU tweaks and overclock.
I found a similar thread about this problem on the Motorola forums, but no good answer. They thought it was a powersaving feature, but this is an issue that only happens for some.
Is there any tweak to always enable the lights when screen is on? That'd be better for me.
Bump!
Am I really alone about this? Id love a tweak that enables the lights all the time.
Thanks in advance
There is an app in Play Store called Lux. I believe it will let you have the buttons lit all the time. I find my Razr Maxx has weak vibration. I don't use the soft key or keyboard vibration but the notifications are weak.
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately that didn't work, the app didn't have any feature to control the lights of the buttons.
Just to clarify thoygh, I'm talking about the 4 buttons on the bottom of the phone. I'm not sure anymore if these are the soft keys.
Anyone know another workaround? Thanks in advance.
i use screendim and theres an option in there to make the backlights to stay on all the time.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Screendim did the trick for me, however the buttons will now stay lit even when screen is off, which is a battery drainer. I'll just have to live with this, it's not that big of an issue I guess...
Thanks for your replies guys
Hey guys
I just recently noticed that my Amaze capacitive buttons light has been staying on all the time. Even when I press the power button once and the screen turns off. Sometimes while the screen is off, the lights in the button seem to flicker. When I power off the phone completely, it turns off but the button lights stay on. Only when I take out the battery do the lights turn off. I tried using the screen filter app that can turn off the backlight for these buttons but it didn't help. This started happening after I flashed the CM10 nightly. When I switched to Speed Rom 8.0, the problem still continued. I installed Android Revolution Rom recently and the problem hasn't gone away. Any one know how I can solve this problem?
On speed rom 8.0 u have a tweak to turn them off completely or download kernel tuner and turn the capacitive light to 0%
I think there is also a modification you can make to turn them off in the build.prop I think. One of those scripts I can't remember which.

Already tried the mod and didn't work. Lights remain on. Even did the tweak that Speed Rom has and that didn't do anything either.
OK on speed rom 8.0 here is what you have to do click on energy tweaks, misc, capacitive light, always off, then click on reboot on top right corner check out the pics I made for u...

appreciate you going through all that work to get the screenshots, but I did exactly that in speed rom and it didn't do anything to the lights. I am running Android Revolution Rom now though.

Does anyone know how to use the front key lights as notification led's on our L9 since we don't have one? I found out how to use the camera flash as one but that's the back of the phone and i don't like facing the phone screen face down on anything in fear of scratching the screen.
If there is not a method already around somewhere to do this, how hard would it be to get this working? I think it would be a great asset to our L9s!

Works for me.
How does it behave for you? On my L9 nothing changed at all once installed and enabled :/ What settings did you choose? Do they flash after the screen turns off for awhile after the notification, and stay flashing until they are read??

I just chose the default settings, and it flashes the front key lights till the message is read. Maybe cause I'm using P760 V10h on my P765.
The app is a battery drainer since it wakes the cpu up each time the buttons light up.
Im hoping they can program this feature into future roms for the L9 where it just causes the LED's to blink until the screen is turned back up when a notification is received. Not sure if its possible to program the blinking to run without waking the cpu?
That was another concern of mine, but if it was integrated into the rom in such a way to not wake the cpu then battery life would not be affected as much.
Is there a way to turn the hardware buttons into the notification light instead of the Power button led? I have a case that covers the power button and miss the notification blink that I had on the Atrix HD. Thanks in advance.
There's an older app for that on the play store. Called LG notification lights or something like that. Doesn't officially support OG, but might be worth a try. I don't recall any talk of the feature... Probably because we have a notification light. It was popular on the i777 though.

Thanks. I'll have to check that out. The only reason I want it is because of the case I have. :good:
I have confirmed that LG Touch LED Notifications by Martin Börjesson works on my E970 with KitKat AOSP 4.4.2. I have the Diztronic TPU case that covers the notification light. When I get a notification it will vibrate first (can be adjusted), then light the capacitive buttons. Perfect!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinborjesson.o2xtouchlednotifications
I used to have a Samsung Moment that did not have a dedicated notification light, the Devs used to do kernel edits that allowed for the BLN app by Neldar to work.
Also, just in case there is anyone like me who keeps their phone on vibrate but still wants notification lights for Gmail without the vibrate notification, do the following within the Gmail app:
Press hardware menu button or three squares menu button in top right of Gmail app to access Settings;
Select your connected Gmail account;
Leave Notifications box checked, press Inbox sound & vibrate;
Press Sound, select Silent;
Make sure Vibrate is unchecked.
What I would love to see is the ability to assign up to three types of notifications to the three capacitive buttons that we have.
Example:
Missed call = Back button
SMS message = Home button
Gmail message = Menu button
Missed call + SMS + Gmail = All three buttons lit. Hmm... maybe I will email this suggestion to the Developer of Trigger - location profiles to see if they could add this sort of functionality to their already awesome app.
Does anyone know if the E970 has one LED light to illuminate all three capacitive buttons, or are they three separate LEDs? Edit: Boo! Only has two... http://imgur.com/a/ydoJb
I've been using an app called ButtonLED I found on XDA since ICS days and still works with KitKat roms. The GUI is pretty basic and not the prettiest but the app is functional. When you turn the logs on, it will track what app or keywords appear in the status bar. You can then go in and add that app or keyword to be excluded and not trigger the notification. I'm going to check out the LG app and see if that performs better (battery drain, etc). Here's the link for the info on ButtonLED... http://www.xda-developers.com/android/buttonled-turns-your-hardware-buttons-into-a-notification-led/ Even though the app is not being updated, I've been running 1.6 with no issues.

didn't work on mine unfortunately. I'd tried it a couple of weeks ago while looking for solutions on this issue (along with many other apps). I'm on SnowJB. So far the only one that has worked is using Xposed+GravityBox... the problem with that one is that it seems to link the side notification LED red light to the front softkeys LEDs, so when the phone is charging and the red LED is flashing on/off the front LEDs flash as well. This bothers me because once I go to sleep and charge the phone the white front LEDs do seem very bright... plus I don't like the fact of having them flashing every night for 8 hours straight, gives me the impression that it'll cause them to get damaged much sooner than normal since they weren't really desinged to flash like that. There is an option on GravityBox that says DISABLE LED FLASHING WHILE CHARGING... which I thought could've helped to prevent that charging flashing but at least in my case that option did nothing,
It would be awesome if someone could come up with a mod for this. Even better if someone knew what file could be edited through root browser to make the red light flash faster on notifications.

Thx....
didn't work either... which version did you install? (I saw there were several on the dropbox download link).
The problem I have with these apps is that they interrupt the normal function of the softkey lights... for example I like to have these lights always ON while my screen is ON as well, I don't like them to time out... and there is an option withing stock Android to set them up like that.... but when I use an app to use the LEDS for notifications for some reason it disables the stock preset and shutts them off entirely while the screen is on... I kinda gave up on this. I'd just be so happy if I could modify the frequency of the RED LED on the power button on notifications.

I use the same setup with cap keys always on. That's the downside all apps/mods have regarding the keys getting disabled when the screen is turned on after a notification. Simply turn the screen off and back on to reset the keys and they will turn back on/reset. I'm using 1.6.
