Droid Dna Red capacitive buttons - HTC Droid DNA

Hey Guys just wondering if in the near future will be a way to change the white color of capacitive buttons to red...my sensation xe and rezound is very nice with red capacitive buttons!i found some guides on youtube with older htc devices....but don't know how it works on dna...also there is an easy way without messing with led and wires....if you put fade resistant red tape you can have them...anyone who feels like droid dna should have red capacitive buttons?

That would be a cool mod.

I would like that just because the white is really annoying on the eyes at night.

I remember reading that the guy that took his apart said the LEDs are easy to remove. I personally would just put the multicolored ones in, and then change it depending on mood with an app.

Doesn't the phones software have to support multicolor or something

There are already kernel modules to handle multicolor led lights baked into almost all existing android kernels, extending this support to the captive led would be relatively straightforward. Unfortunately the DNA's mainboard has no support for such a mod.

Surface mount soldering is anything but easy. Unless you have a high end soldering iron with a super fine tip and hands of a brain surgeon, I'd advise against it.
Unless you want a nice paperweight

There is an app that was written for the HTC One X+ which allows for dimming of the captive button LEDs

It only allows for toggling the LED on the DNA. I would assume our devices would support dimming but this has yet to be confirmed.
Kind of off topic, but I think it's something that might be worth looking into.

You could get a slim piece of red translucent gel insert (like the stuff they use for stage lights) and put it right over the bottom section where the buttons are. Then put a screen protector on.

That's great, thanks!

That would be a good idea to create a screen protector with red tint (or whatever color) at the bottom.

^ That would be a good idea
