[Q] My Physical Keyboard Xperia Mini Pro Isn't Light - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I've installed the latest Cyanogen Mod is cynogen 9 with ics4. and everything seems to work just fine but my physical keyboard isn't lighted.
How to fix that problem?

Even I face this problem. What I do is that after unlocking my xmp I change the brightness a little bit using the status bar and then my soft keys light up and also my hw keyboard keys light up.

Do you mean that every time you unlock your phone, you have to play with brightness to have back-light back on the Hardware Keyboard ?
I have to admit I am waiting be sure of this information before I switch to CM9, this and to be sure I'll be able to switch my hardware keyboard to AZERTY easily, and that the Blue and Sym keys are working properly too. I bought a XMP to have a small device with a Hardware Keyboard, so this last point is essential to me.

Hey ! Sorry for the necro posting, but I think it's a valuable info (maybe it has already been told but...)
I flashed my XMP yesterday with Cyanogenmod9 RC2, and the keyboard is just fine :
- Easy (in the menu and not buy an ugly copy of a stock rom file in root mode) to change the layout (AZERTY needed in France).
- Backlighted as it should.
- Blue and SYM Keys working as attended.
The only thing is that you have to use the kernel (boot.img) found in the FXP130 and not the one included on the file by CyanogenMod.

[Q] Stuck back key [xperia mini pro]

Hi! I've an issue on my xperia mini pro.
More than often the back key (which is a touch sensitive key) stops working.
I can't resolve this definitely. Things I tried:
- reset settings (does not work)
- total reset (works for a couple of weeks than the problem comes back)
- killing services with android system cleaner (works sometimes, I see that maybe is related to the process "Home of sony ericsson" -the stock launcher v2.1.x)
- switched to go launcher ex (worked for a full day, the problem came back)
- prevent various apps and services to startup (did not work)
- remove various apps and services (didn't work)
- update firmware to 2.3.4 (only solved the problem of the black screen that won't unlock)
what in the world should I do to fix this tedious issue?
tnx for answers, forgive me for my spaghetti english

Rom is pre-rooted, you will need to unlock bootloader and flash a different kernel.
Hardware keyboard will not be working, you'll need to get the files from the CM7 stable build for this.
I would not endorse going down this route unless you want to be running CM7 anyway, and there is no guarantee it will help.

thank you! You're right: I don't want to flash the previous version just to set up cm7! Not cause I don't like it but because with the previous version of the stock kernel I was having a much more big problem: the black screen (some others had the same problem).
Maybe I'll go on this way, waiting for ICS hoping it'll fix up everything!
btw, how's my english?
Maybe u r sweating or ur finger is kinda wet when u press it,our phone is unresponsive to fluid,except u buy an active
xperia mini pro! not active!
that would be true for the settings key too!
I think is a sort of bug of the rom... I'm getting it very often! damn!
I noticed that sometimes the screen light "shakes", like a vibration, and so the lights behing the touch keys...
the light sensor reacts to reflections of the light and shadows I make when using the phone. This is a minor thing but the back key sometimes makes really hard using the phone!

[Q] SGP 5 - ICS - Disable Button Lights

Hello,I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to disable the light on the capacitive buttons after installing CM9 with soft button mod? Thanks and sorry if this has been covered.
There is an app called Screen Filter in the play store that enables you to turn off the key lights. It works for me and you should go check.

I use Screen Filter too and it's pretty simple... You just have to open the app everytime u turn on or reboot ur gp.

I think if you have the AOKP ROM then theres a option there to disable them manually
Here is my guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374233
It should work on every rom/stock.
thanks guys, I am using screen filter now and it is working - though I dont think it worked for me on GB. Also, I will try to get LEDKill working as a permanent solution.
I dont think I am using the AOKP rom, I am just using the CMP for SGP 5.0 USA rom from the dev section. Does the AOKP rom happen to have working bluetooth? For that matter, do any of the the ICS roms have working bluetooth?
bluetooth isnt working in any ics/cm9/miui room cuz all are based on cm9 where bluetooth isnt working

Yep had the same here, just restarted the phone and was ok anyways.
My LED notification doesnt work for SMS while the screen is off. my ICS is the first one that was uploaded, from India I Think
really? let me see
hmmm...the only bug i have encounter since using ICS on My XMP is on Xperia Gallery....
deleting a folder that contains images will make all other images disappear (empty gallery)....the only way to get back the all images is to reboot your devices....
one bug that frustrates me that I encountered is I can't connect to my home Wifi. It perpetually loops trying to authenticate my connection using Wap settings on my router.

Sola hardware buttons light

I have Sola running ics, hardware buttons (menu - Home - Back) light not working correctly, I want it to be on as long as I'm working on the phone and off while the screen is off - that's it, any advice?
Try IIumination bar app.
+1 the hardware buttons light erratically. its been like this since its last update (.184) before ICS. I thought the ICS update would fix this but it hasnt.

Home button LED on a little brother of our L9

Hey guys, I just saw today on a friend who got an LG phone which is L5 and when he receives sms or get a missed call his button is blinking in many different colours. Also, when he reboot the phone that LED is entertaining the holder which is pretty nice . My question is if we got something like this ? If yes with what app and if no which was the reason of breaking this feature off on a better phone than this one ? I left a link below to understand better what I mean.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaX50eMrQ1k&feature=youtu.be
LE: I found that is the 2nd generation and they got button LED allerts. Perhaps is auto solved.
Wait, the l5 2 has button LED notifications and the l9 doesn't? That sucks, it looks so neat. Its a shame about its 512 mb of ram though.
well read the later edit. the l9 2 will have too that home button led notification.

L9 II dont have a physical home button , so maybe it will be at some other location i Guess ( If at all its there )
It really sucks that LG is getting rid of the physical home button on their newer devices. I find it very useful, there's no accidental home button presses and you can use it to wake up your phone. Not to mention if they put the notification LED there it would look sweet.
I find that using the LG Nofications app works well enough, you can use the backlights of the soft keys as notification lights, they light up and slowly flash when you receive a message, gmail or miss a call. You can also use those key lights for charge status and there is an option to enable other apps to use the lights too e.g. Facebook

I believe he's refering to "LG Touch LED Notifications" - it's on Play Store and it's free.

Yeah, I tested it too but that home button LED is much much prettier and u must admit that and is very different when u use an app which wake up ur phone every "x" seconds for the notification alert and when that LED is hardware based on.
installed lg touch led but no led for home button...
Guys, our phone does not have a notification led on the home button. No app or rom will make the home button light up like that because we do not have the hardware for it.
