I am using CoolSense 14a.
I noticed that when the screen is turned off, the capacitive buttons are still active.
And if I slide my finger from left to right on those buttons, the screen will turn on. If i slide it from right to left, the screen will turn off.
I never noticed this feature before, so I dont know if its from CoolSense only.
But I would like to disable this feature, so that the capacitive buttons don't respond anymore when the screen is off, how can I do it?
thanks
I dont think you can toggle that just yet. coolexe posted that hes gonna release an update that will have sweep2wake enabler/disabler

Ok Thanks, I flashed the latest Cool Sense Kernel, there is indeed a new option to turn that feature off when installing it with Aroma.
Or you could have tried this app to toggle it ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919965
It works with every cool kernel, also has options to toggle the backlight on/off in Sweep2Wake
There's an option in the kernel tuner app that let's you completely disable it or have it with the lights out too.

My bad. I guess I didn't look through your post all the way. My mistake. It happens
Thanks for your answers,
I ll take a look at Kernel Tuner, looks very useful.
If you open up terminal emulator, and type the following bash commands, it'll go away

I wrote a script that runs in g script (lite), from market.
It runs on my 3d and toggles the button leds from on to off and back.
Each time the script is run it toggles the leds.
http://db.tt/sY7zGUo
I am rooted and it does require it.
It's quick except for the Gscript 20 second rule....
Note:
To run this, download it, then move it to the gscript folder on the root of the sdcard.
Next run gscript and > Menu add new script. Choose load file "led toggle 2"
You can also use the screen filter app. Set the filter to 100% and disable/unchecked "enable soft-key backlight".
I find it easier but that just me.

Hey. That's kindof awesome.
I personally use screen filter and tasker. I have it set so whenever I enter a game, game, movie it will turn screen filter on, turning off the buttons. And when I exit any of those it will turn then back on. Perfect.

This is cool, I'd like them permanently off.
And who needs screen filter when you can do it the geek way and run a script?

Screen filter you don't need root. Pluss screen filter has added benefit to lower screen brightness vs the "geek way". I think its an easy choice.
Mine won't toggle at 100%. Has to be lower then that for some reason or else nothing happens.

I rather not have them turn on at all. I don't like using screen filter because it disables randomly or when the brightness is adjusted either manually or from another app.
LEDs hack in the market. You can use to disable them, but I don't know if it will stay after reboot.
Didn't work that's the first thing I tried.
I have a script I got from somewhere on here that I just run the command in terminal emulator. One command, and it turns off when on or turns off when on.

I have to admit this would be very nice. No need for the lights and should help battery.
I'm ready to take the phone apart and remove/cut the leds for them.
I dislike them too

I was thinking of just maybe coloring the LED's with a black Sharpie. But im sure there's a easy way without taking the phone apart.
Here, download this then
adb remount
adb push leds /system/bin
Now, in adb shell or terminal, type leds

Thanks. I don't have tasker, but looked at this from your tut: For capacitive leds,
@! echo X > sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/button-backlight/brightness
0 = OFF
1 = ON
I was able to use Root Explorer, and navigate to "/sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/button-backlight/brightness" When I got to the 'brightness' file, I long pressed it, and cliicked 'open in text editor'. It opened and the number 255 was there. I deleted it, and added a 0, then hit menu and chose 'save and exit'. Not sure if i did it right, but as soon as I hit save and exit the capacitive lights turned out, and I've had no issues so far.
EDIT: NVM, they came back on and the 0 changed back to 255. Lights are back on after the screen shuts off and turns back on.
Tasker is $7, kinda pricey for me. Im a cheap bastard when it comes to adding to my $200+ phone bill.
Noticed they came back on with the script too. So I modified the script to make it stick.

Pushed it using root explorer then typed leds in the terminal. LED's turned off. Nice!
Also worked after reboot. Thanks alot!
Glad it worked for ya. Do you get that bug with the half a search light lit though? It's a hardware problem but damned annoying

Hi all,
Im rooted and running viper rom, with netarchy.
the bottom lights (home, menu, back, search) never turn off, even when i press the power button and put the phone to sleep. The lights dim but never turn off. I have tried led hack, and screen filter with no luck. I tried going back to my nandroid backup of stock and it still the same. Is this a hardware problem? obviously a battery pull leads to the lights going out but as soon as i reboot its the same problem. Anyone have any ideas?
thanks again

haven't heard of anybody having this issue and i'm also on netarchy's kernel with stock rom and haven't experienced it.
i think you're on the right path, load up the stock rom and stock kernel, if you still experience the issue, it would appear to be more hardware related and i'd take it back to sprint.
if you don't experience the issue then you know it was probably triggered somewhere along the lines of customization. i'd customize again step by step checking along the way.
if you're technically inclined and feel adventurous, i'm pretty sure the backlight leds can be controlled thru the sysfs space and adb shell.
/sys/class/leds/button-backlight
all the control files are in there and you can experiment echo'n values to see if it turns them on/off and/or controls the brightness ...
best of luck!
Look in the market for an app called covedesign. It will allow you to turn off the bottom lights. Hope this helps.

you don't "edit" the files in a text editor ... you echo values to them.

Anyone know how to disable the hardware lights for the front buttons? I see two different areas of potential:
1. Modify the following config files located here: /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/ and set the permissions to read only. Issue: will not keep after a reboot.
2. Remove following lib: lights.msm8960.bak. Issue: Kills notification LED as well. Anyone know if this lib is proprietary or open source? Anyone to modify it to only turn off the button backlights?
Thanks in advance.

Are you using the stock ROM? if then, go to Settings -> Display -> Notification Flash and deselect "Use LED light for notifications" checkbox.

The front capacitive key lights can be turned off (on stock-based ROMs) in settings > display > Front key light.
Thanks for the replies. Looking for a solution for AOSP based roms. I should have stated that.

Make an init.d script with the code you provided, it'll "fix" the problem of not sticking after a reboot.
I assume that you have a rooted phone. If your kernel doesn't support init.d, you can use any of plenty different solutions to enable it.

It is open source. It should be trivial to modify to disable button backlight, or put a toggle in place. Not saying that I know how. Also, it should be noted that that also controls the lcd backlight, and it will cause it to not be able to be adjusted if deleted / renamed.
EDIT:
Actually, I took a look at it, and you can try replacing the lights.msm8960.so with this file. I am not sure if it will work on any kernel other than the one I compiled it with, but it is worth a shot.

Sweep2sleep
This is a kernel module for sweep2sleep. The new motion gestures are nice, but there is no way to put the phone to sleep with gestures. To make it worse, the power button placement is awkward. It bothered me so much, I've built this module. It is based on @show-p1984's sweep2wake2.
Swipe your finger from right to left over the navbar and your phone will go to sleep.
I will update this soon, with some improvements and also to work with GPE ROMs.

Sweep2sleep module for Sense 4.4.3 stock kernel (2.22 base)
Sweep2sleep module
Older version:
s2w_mod
Installation:
Flash zip in recovery
Un-installation:
While in recovery, do:
Code:
adb shell rm /system/lib/modules/s2w_mod.ko /system/etc/init.d/40s2w
Requirements:
In order to load automatically at boot, you need init.d support and busybox. If you have a custom ROM it should work.
For stock users, you'll need to insert the module manually:
Code:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/s2w_mod.ko
Source:
Module was compiled against Nexus 5 kernel source with m8_defconfig. Some symbol CRC checks had to be hexedited in the compiled module.
s2w_mod.c
Thanks for mod

My issue with swipe to sleep on the m7 was that the home button minimised the app you had open. And I didn't always want to do that. This has basically increased my love for this handset 10x over. No need to touch that damn stupidly placed power button... AT ALL.

This doesn't drain battery, the gesture is used when the screen is on.
The N5 has bad drain from sweep2wake, not sweep2sleep. The lcd panel has to stay powered on to recognize touches when the phone is sleeping.
Thanks, makes sense.

That seems to be it. You have to move the phone before the gestures work.
I actually don't like that, because I can't doubletap when it's sitting on my desk. That's how I'm used to checking my phone.

Yea, I like the idea.... But not sure if it works out. Cuz then it's on anyway when moving around in your pocket wasting battery life yea? and could be turned on by your leg if you have some thinner workout shorts on, or in a breast pocket of your favorite flannel tee haha. I've heard that complaint already, I just grab from sides, raise a lil/giggle, then dt2w
Should this work on the Gpe version? Just tried it but nothing happened.
