do you have to reset after each reboot?

No it kills it automatically but you have to wait for about a minute for super user to start

When I use CM10, I put this in a text file
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p29 /system
chmod 777 /sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/button-backlight/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/button-backlight/brightness
sysro
Then put it in the system/etc/init.d folder and remove the txt extension from the file. You can name the file what ever you want, then fix permissions and reboot. If your ever want your lights back just erase the file and reboot.
I forgot where I got it from but I do remember blast0id or dcacklam posted it.. I think.. So thank them both just to be safe

With this you would use Root Explorer or similar app to just drop it in your system/app folder

Terminal Commands

Is there a list of commands somewhere for the terminal emulator? Please and thanks.

No.
But to see some of the available:
Code:
busybox #prints available busybox commands
ls /bin #prints all files in /bin
ls /usr/bin #prints all files in /usr/bin
ls /sbin
ls /usr/sbin
OK, how would I change the su perms for an application?

sorry but I don't understand.
Is it:
You use su to become root.
You may use chmod to change permissions on a file
You use the superuser app to change witch apps that automatically approves or denies superuser access.

[MOD] kill those button lights! [no more bleed!]

the below method was taken from here. Thanks to @morrislee !

And no, this will not be able to disable the button lights, you need to do them in the init.post_boot.sh file under etc

I apologize for thread jacking with this question, but what would you put in this file, I am asking here, rather than via PM because I think others might like to know... you could make a new thread if you prefer... thanks!
edit: ok did a little digging, would this work?
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p29 /system
chmod 777 /sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/button-backlight/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/button-backlight/brightness
mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p29 /system
edit2: confirmed, the above works, just edited the file (init.post_boot.sh) and adb pushed it, then rebooted... nice, no more bleed!

I just ran it in terminal emulator and it said no such file or directory found, but it still shut them off so i guess that it works that way too!

hm... for turn the button backlight off, i use screen filter, put it on 100% and kill the back light. voila. you don't have to do anything beside that, and the best part is, you can turn it back on.
use the init.post_boot.sh in this zip should disable all the button lights completely. given that you have perm root, this method is permanent until you restore the files or nand restore.
Dont forget to set the permissions to 644

The only disadvantage of using screen filter is that you can't install apk files when it's in use.
But yeah now I don't need screen filter anymore, thanks morrislee!!
Worked perfectly... Thanks

[SOLUTION] No lockscreen and No power option for galaxy grand quattro GT-I8552

Guys most of us encountered a similar problem like this - for no reason the lockscreen and power option menu wont work
sometimes you will get red warning like 'factory mode is on' some features wont work properly :crying::crying::crying:
Guys it's because of Corrupted EFS folder
So here is the exact solution to get rid of factory mode into user mode [get back your lockscreen and power option menu]
Its a proven method :victory::victory::victory:
You have to root your phone and install Terminal Emulator from Google Play.
Open terminal emulator and type as ;
su
rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
reboot
You now should not see the that message anymore. Its because of an EFS corruption.
Hope it helps!!!
Time to enjoy 'hurray' i got my lockscreen and power option menu

Which means keystr and factorymode file already been removed...
Then you have to type only this:
Don't type just copy paste these codes
su
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
reboot
It will work definitely all the best..

Do this manually
Install root explorer and open.
Go to efs/Factoryapp folder
Create a new file 'factorymode'
Open the file and type 'ON' and click save.
Create a new file 'keystr'
Open the file and type 'ONON' and click save
For both files permissions should be rwe-r-r
Reboot.
If it still don't work do the copy paste commands in emulator which is in first post after this..
It should work..I have successfully got my lockscreen and power menu button by this on my grand Quattro running JB 4.1.2
This is the only method to get back those...even u try reflashing your stock firmware u won't get it.do it again without mistakes in code..
In the code the first two line is to remove those two corrupted files and the next two steps is to add those two files and the following codes is to set permission which it needs minimum 777 permissions to work.....:beer::beer::beer: so if u get error like no such file directry exclude two lines below su.

Followed all above steps but not working
Alll codes worked
But after reboot no chage
I am using galaxy core jb 4.1.2
Can I use other galaxy core efs folderband flash it on my core
Btw I don't have factoryapp folder in efs instead I have app folder
Can u show your efs folder
Btw quattro is same as galaxy core
It should work

If you have root & busybox installed you can run this script.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
busybox mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:61 /mnt/sdcard
busybox sleep 3
if busybox mount | grep vold/179:61; then
mount -o bind /data/media /storage/external_SD
rm /storage/external_SD/external_sd
chmod -R 777 /sdcard
chmod -R 777 /data/media
fi

place this file "swapint2ext.txt" on your sdcard and type the following
with a terminal emulator
Code:
su
./sdcard/swapint2ext.txt [B](if on your internal sdcard)[/B]
./sdcard/external_sd/swapint2ext.txt [B](if placed in your external sd)[/B]
with adb
Code:
adb shell
su
./sdcard/swapint2ext.txt [B](if on your internal sdcard)[/B]
./sdcard/external_sd/swapint2ext.txt [B](if placed in your external sd)[/B]
There is a lot more info on the subject in the general section. Look for the titles starting with swap internal or something similar. There are like 3 different threads on the subject. I'll send you a link later with some more info, but that will be later later

Hi,
i have "don´t permission", when i type this one in terminal emulator.
Any idea? My phone is rooted. I rename the "swapint2ext.txt in .sh", is this correct? And the path is "sdcard0", is this also correct?
And also i try to execute the "swapint2ext.sh" with the Root Explorer. Works fine, but i can´t install Fifa 14 for example. Not enough place...
Thanks Thomas

You are getting permission denied because it needs root access. Read this
