Hi,
is there any way to adjust the brightness of the capacitive buttons?
Most of the time I can hardly see them (in normal daylight) and have to cover the top of the phone (earpiece / front camera) so that they light up.
Thanks in advance for any help
There's an app file it for the HOX. Ill talk to the Dev to see about modding for our device.

I think I came across that app yesterday and was quite happy to find it, but yeah, unfortunately it's not working on the HOX+
Would be great if it can be modded for the HOX+

If you are running OrDroid rom, then check HERE. Perfect settings for me. Might work on other roms too. This mod has adjusted sensor sensitivity values in framework-res.apk, so flashing it might overwrite another mod!

I'm currently still running stock ROM with a few visual tweaks but they just don't appear to turn on soon enough.
It's like if there us any ambient light, no matter how dim, they won't show!!! Stupid decision by HTC. :banghead:

I read somewhere that it is a known issue that the lights don't always turn on when they are supposed to. As for the brightness of the buttons, I believe they only turn on or off.

AWESOME!!! Thanks a lot.
I applied it to Stock ROM, now whenever the screen is on, the buttons are, too. Perfect. I love my HOX+ again
is there a way to turn it off permanently?

Anyone notice the light of the buttons leak through the screen and wash out the whites you can tell when you power down the phone than turn it on and as soon as its on you should notice

I was wondering if ianyone has any idea which files we might need to extract from a Desire ROM to replace the auto-brightness code in Nexus ROMs?
I've noticed that it seems to work much better on the Modaco Desire ROM, with a higher base level of brightness and more consistent reaction to the ambient light level.
Wow, thats awesome.
Anybody an idea, where to find?
The script on Nexus is...****ty.
It has automatic brightness, but it's useless on this phone for now.
Thats right i don't even use it as it doesn't work as it should
It will be grate if some one could work it out.
Plus one on that. We need to combine all the best things from both devices to create one super rom...we shall then call it "Super ROM".
I was just discussing this with my brother, a steady 50% level of brightness looks better then the auto feature on the phone.
He just got his and I told him to shut it off its looks horrible, the green look so fake unless the brightness is on 55% steady and up
I do agree with this: the Desire ROM is pretty damn consistent with the auto brightness.

I didnt even bother checking for the auto-brightness on this ROM. I cant believe it works. Thanks OP
+1 on this! I figured I wasn't the only one.
would be cool if it's possible, but i am not sure if it will work?
+$10 LOL
I know how to extract it. I'll have a look at try it out on my N1.
Just use the desire rom. Why do some people not like it? I love it.

I tried the Desire ROM some days ago, and the screen seemed brighter than the default Nexus ROM (both at max brightness). Anyone noticed that ?
While we are on the subject of extracting things.... how about extracting the HTC Music app to be used on Cyanogen....

Is it possible to use the touch buttons as an LED notifier for missed calls, email, and SMS? Sure they cant change colors but at least it could blink every X seconds/minutes.
You do Realize this has been asked before.. I sent Jac a thread that has this working on the I9000.. Not sure if he's still looking into it or not though.
its already done for Captivate.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780732
Whats included:
-Correct Screen auto-rotate
-HSUPA support
-MobileAP support (aka wireless tethering)
-Selecting with power button in recovery mode
-External SD card support
-Postboot scripts
-Voodoo lagfix
-Softkey Backlight Notification
I tried and got bricked... so if someone can make this for Vibrant i will be happy.
I use the app noLED. Works pretty well. Found it in the market.

I personally don't care for that app. It's okay idea, but what really needs to get done is samsung to implement the Notifications into the buttons. I've seen what the i9000 has done, it's not too bad. This has been posted many times, you might want to try the search button

Ive been using that but its questionable how it affects battery life and long-term effects on the screen life.
noLED is a decent alternative imo
When I used to noLED I would press the volume buttons and it would give me the volume sound and light up the screen but still on black. So I predicted it would kill my battery quicker.

NoLED is a PITA...it adds another layer of lockscreens/button-touches to get your notifications, thus I didn't care for it much. It also FC'd on me all the time...YMMV.
Someone will most likely get the button led flash to work one day, just be patient.
Flash notify in the market place will suffice for now and it actually works pretty good
surprised this hasn't already been implemented for the vibrant. if it's already done on the captivate isn't it just a matter of time for someone to port the code over?
Reason it hasn't been implemented got the vibrant its because your talking a whole new kernel build... Along with that the current implementations of it, from what I read prior, aren't too fond of battery life and they can't make it blink like a led would do. The buttons backlight just stays on. I don't know if that has changed any time recently but thats what it was like the previous time I looked it up.

hmm I never had a issue with it nor any extra battery drain. Is it the best coolest app nope. But it works for notifications
Samsung fixed this probably purposely overlooked notification problem with galaxy S phones with a whole new galaxy S, the Continuum

Yeah that things not looking so hot for me either. Lol
The best alternative IMO is Flash Notify. Been using it for a long time with no issues. Really wanted the soft keys to light up for notifications but I don't find that necessary anymore.

Alright guys here it is. LightXT its pretty self explanatory. This does require you to be rooted. This is V.1 so there might be bugs but I haven't found any so you should be fine. This has only been tested on US XT720 running Khalpowers miui themed V3 but technically it should work on all models of this phone with the auto focus led.
Disclaimer: I am not held responsible for any harm this app may cause your phone or your LED light.
If you like this App please dont forget to hit the thanks button.
*****THIS APP DOES NOT TURN YOUR XENON FLASH ON IT TURNS ON YOUR AUTO FOCUS LIGHT***** sorry for the confusion
First!!!
Works great but i found a bug.
If you turn on the light and then rotate the screen you have to click 2 times to turn it off again...
But still awesome thanks!!!!
thanks. is the light supposed to be red? that's all Im getting
Yes its our auto focus light. Our actual flash is xenon which requires a charge to flash that's why no other flashlight app works so we created this one specific to our phone.
its amazing, thx! =))
this is amazing! thank you... thank you... thank you...
Thanks alot man! My buddy has been dying for this app and it works great. Any plans for a widget??
Just thought of something.
Could this somehow be integrated into say Khal's rom and set for use on media key?
That would be sick, probably just wishful thinking though.
I hear a cry off in the distance....

I'm trying to convince him into making us a widget it shouldn't be a problem. And there will be a version with the rotate bug fixed uploaded soon. Can't give an exact time but ill update the first post when its in my hands.
Just Great...this can help me...Thanks
until a build in widget is added, the next best thing as a work around is to use

yup thats the only one that turns on our flash is a xenox so we can not just turn it on and off. thats why when you download a led flashlight app from the market ie. droidlight it does nothing. the apps are looking in the wrong place for the led to turn on and thats why we made this app ts made only for our phone and all other variants of this phone.
i feel like i wrote that before.
I have the Galaxy Player 4.0. When using the device in the dark, I dim the screen to zero. But this does not affect the brightness of the three buttons at the bottom, which are very bright and annoying. Is there a way to turn the lights off for these buttons?

There was another thread that I found through Google it was named "android update on galaxy s wifi 4.0" or something of the sort. It was very long too, and it was where I first began my Android journey and also where I obtained the stock 2.3.6 rom that my rom is based upon.

Yup, I remember that one too! Ah, but enough reminiscing. On the subject of dimming things, I have been wanting to hack the screen so that it can go dimmer than the current 12% lock. I have been using screen filter, but it bugs me knowing how much battery I could be saving at night! If someone could point me in the right direction of what files to edit, or better yet, help me with this since I know nothing about coding, then I would greatly appreciate it. You could even add it to your rom, klin!

Not sure exactly what the process is to dim lower than that. I do know however that when I just installed CM7 the brightness goes substantially lower than the stock or any other ROM has. Might be a place to start looking?
And also as far as I'm aware, there's no way to dim the capacitive buttons. On or off, unfortunately.
Thanks for the tip, Ill look into it! I really wish I could install cm7 to test, but I need my device fully functional almost every day! Maybe Ill buy another galaxy player, lol!

Hi guys,
I love my HTC One but hell... the vibrations are damn strong due to the metallic unibody. Is there an app (for root-users) wich allows me to reuce the vibration intensity for _all_ applications? I've tried Vybe but it doesn't work for me. I'm using the stock HTC Sense ROM with root-access.
What do you think about the intensity? Are you good with that or is it too weak/hard in your opinion?
Thanks

I second this. Had my phone on alarm mode this morning and the vibration alone scared me awake.
Faux's kernels allow you to change vibration intensity in his kernel enhancement app. Idk any other way though
The strong vibrate isn't due to it being aluminum. It's because, well, it has a strong vibration motor in it.
I like it, but at times it is way intense. HTC over-compensated with the design. Presumably to finally make vibrate useful (it's so light in most other phones).
Well, they over did it a bit, but I'm not complaining.
