Hello
I am wondering if there is an app to disable capacitive light buttons? I am rooted 2.3.6 stock. Pretty annoying when watching a movie at night and they are still on.

No one?
I would like to do this also.
o rly no one knows?
try keyboard backlight controller
will try that program...thanks.
.....
Update: seems to work until you touch the screen/buttons. Touching the screen or buttons activates the backlight.
Thanks.
Try screen filter. I use it for night mode but it will kill the lights too

I've tried several torch apps and I am currently using the tiny flashlight with the widget. On the incredible all of the torch apps worked well and the widgets worked instantaneously. On my X2 I've had several of the apps cause reboots and while the tiny flashlight widget works it takes about 5 seconds to kick in. Any recommendatins on apps or settings would be much appreciated. I'm rooted, supercharged, and I've frozen the bloat. I had theses issues before root and on every x2 I've used (7 of them).
Tiny flashlight has been updated to address the X2 problems. Thanks to member juhde for letting us know about the update. I can finally rest easy again.

That was my first choice and I had issues with it before I went looking for a new one. I actually haven't tried since I did all of the recent tweaks. Does it work without any lag on your x2?
tesla locked up upon first use & quit responding, but now works, but lags like the other I tried
I just open the Camcorder app and turn the light to on. It works flawlessly.

Yeah, that works, but its not very convenient or fast. I live in the sticks and its pitch black at night out here. Its nice being able to unlock and hit a button to get a light quickly when you here something crashing through the woods. Prob just have to wait for ginger or cm7 to fix the problem.

It's not really a widget, but since the light comes on right away, its the quickest light I've seen so far. I'll stick with this one till ginger comes out thanks.
Nexus torch. Great app that also has a widget for one click flash on your home screen.

No luck. Runs about the same as the rest. Doesn't see my root for the high brightness either. Wonder what's up with that. Sticking with the Motorola one for now.

Well I don't even use the camcorder, so I just keep the light setting to on all the time. Then I keep the shortcut on my main homescreen, so all I gotta do is click it, and bam, glorious light. (I also live in the sticks..)
Tiny flashlight just had a update specifically addressing the x2 problems. Works a treat now.

Works great, just like it used to.
hmm, still a bit slow for me, I like that Tesla has a toggle switch widget, much more convenient.
ok, I installed the TeslaLED Beta
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133393
and its the best one yet, much snappier than the alpha release or tiny flashlight
plus a toggle switch!
Not to shabby.

Hi,
I am running HyDrOG3N rom, I enabled keys backlight when screen is on and it worked, but once I lock my screen and unlock it again, it stops working and doesn't turn on until I re-adjust brightness or enable/disable it.
Is is something to do with the settings or a rom bug?

Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Have you tried flashing the ROM a second time, after a full wipe (if possible)? Sometimes these things just have the tiniest little glitches and nobody can figure out why they happen, yet a second flash miraculously fixes/solves whatever happened the first time out.
I've yet to see anyone mention any issues with the buttons - they're still considering "soft" buttons, however. As soon as I saw "hard keys" my thought was problems with the power/sleep, volume, or the camera button and not the capacitive touch ones under the display.
Just so you know...
Also, I note you say they're not lighting up - the real question then becomes are they still functional even though they're not lighting up?
Yes the soft buttons are functioning...but not lighting up....but few hours ago it was fine....but now it's not lighting up....maybe some setting issue....anybody know how to solve this in setting's mode?

I'm not sure why they stop working with that ROM, but here's a post with a manual way to adjust the brightness.

So I gave it a try and it worked but it didn't. The lights turn on but now they wont turn off even when screen locks unless I reboot and then I have to edit again. So Ill keep searching. Thanks though man its better than it was...

I'm coming from a Rezound running ViperRez and I used the heck out of this feature so I'd like to see it here if possible.
Thank you!

I started using an app called flashlight LED genius and there is an option that allows you to shake the phone while at the lock screen to enable the flashlight. Then to turn off you simply shake again, you can set sensitivity settings and duration in case it gets turned on accidentally. I have had no issues with it accidentally turning on as of yet. Works surprisingly well.
Wow thanks for that app. useful

That is a great app, thanks.
I still wish someone would built it into a rom or flashable add-on that would all you to long press or double-tap the home button from the lock screen to activate the camera.
Check out my tutorial on the Tmo section. Will work for you too. Use the volume up to turn on flashlight.

Doesn't work for me on Cleanrom 1.2 possibly because I'm using xposed framework.

You mean Nottach's mod? That most probably takes this function over. Now that's the trick is discovered, perhaps you can request he adds it to an update.

I actually own Nova Prime so I was excited to try this but alas it doesn't work. I'm on stock, rooted TW ROM with Nova Prime of course. No other mods, frameworks or kernels installed. Not sure why it doesn't want to work for me. Anyone else get it going?
No dice here either. Stock rooted deodexed.

Weird. Well if you guys are using Nottach's Xposed mod, he will build it in with his next update v10, and can map it to your home button.

Shake on lockscreen option works fine for a while, then stops. Problem is noted in the app description in the Play Store but no ETA on a fix is mentioned. Too bad, when it works it's nice.
Anyone know of another flashlight app that can be reliably activated from the lock screen?

Just found that Tiny Flashlight has shake capability on the lock screen. I'm testing and will report back on reliability.

I use the DashClock lockscreen widget with the DashLight extension, seems to work pretty good for me
Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.
