I´ve been trying do disable the soft keys backlight.
Right now i'm using the Soft Buttons Light app to permanently disable the leds, but i rather change the led brightness values on the files, than using an app that consumes ram.
Changing the values is possible, and after an extensive search for a solution for xperia p, i've only found a solution here on the forum for other xperia phones, because on the xperia p the files are a bit different.
Still, i've tried to change the values, but i can't. I've figured out that there are 3 folders that control the 3 leds on the transparent bar, so i have to change the values on all of them. Those folders are "so34-led0", "so34-led1" and "so34-led2", on "/sys/class/leds/".On the max_brightness file, using ES File Explorer, after changing the value, while saving, an error ocurs, i save it anyway, but when i check it, the previous value is still there. Using Root Explorer, a .bak file is saved (and i don't know where, because i can't find it) and the original file remains with the original value.
Has anyone did it? Or knows how to do it?
Take a look at this thread
Control Led Brightness
That is the correct way to go about it, in my opinion Modifying the value during boottime itself is the best way to go

Thanks, but i've already seen that thread, and a solution for the xperia p wasn't found there, only for other xperia phones. The lines on the xperia p are quite different.
They are:
echo 0,51,251,511,851 >$dev/button_min_vals
echo 50,250,510,850,5000 >$dev/button_max_vals
And i don't have a clue how to change them =/
Anyone?
So if I read correctly, you want to permanently disable your led bar? If so, using root explorer and go to
System/lib/hw and rename lights.st-ericsson.so like add an extra o or something. Then reboot

i was having the same issue, and the best way to disable the led, was with the app "ilumination bar", go to theme led, set all values to the left and save, its consume very low ram, and is the best aplication to control leds, you can disable theme led, but it can stay enable to notify missed calls, sms, etc..give it a try.

Thanks, that finally worked Sadly, it REALLY diasables all the lights, even the notification led on the top of the phone. I would like to keep the green light when it's charged, but maybe it is for the best, less lights to consume the battery. Its just leds, they wouldn't consume much i think, but it still does some battery consumption.
Thanks a lot mate

It might be a great app, but the idea was to avoid the need of an app. I already have one that does it, but i prefer to deal wih the issue on the source instead of having to depend on an unnecessary application.

UPDATE:
This is not the right thing to do. It solved the leds problem but created another.
It is not noticible on daylight, only on low-light. The screen does not become fully off when the phone is locked!
It can be seen that the screen is still lit. Like it's displaying a full black image. I reversed it by renaming the file as it was before.
Now i'm back at square one.
Bump.
I'm also looking for a way to do this. Any solutions? The apps simply don't work for me

Currently using it on my device.... Mini pro!!!! still working brov, am on .431 FW [ICS 4.0.4]!
With the update to 4.0.4, on the MP at least, the led works for everything but sms notify and startup notify, as far as i have seen those are the only times when it doesnt work.
To who ever said "doesnt matter, it saves battery", well your are wrong. well not wrong just not right haha It is an led light, it doesnt waste battery, i mean the most it would waste is 0.1% per hour, but it has to be on, and flashing, constantly for that to happen, so really it doesnt waste any at all. by the way i have no source to prove this, it is just my opinion from how much i know about led lights, especially very small ones like in phones.

Hi,
I have created a new app for the Xperia U, that will give you "disco lights" in the illumination bar.
Now also works for Xperia P.
So far it only has a few modes. It does both plain blinks and also blinks that are driven by the music you play.
Pro version has more colors and can run in the background.
It only works on Xperia U or Xperia P, and it also requires ROOT to get individual access to the LEDs.
On anything but a rooted XU or rooted XP i'm sure it will do absolutely nothing...
It's called U-Disco and you can find it at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rundgong.udisco
Pro version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rundgong.udiscopro
Try it out and let me know what you think.
If you have suggestions for fun blink patterns, let me know and I'll try to include it in upcoming releases.
Hi,
I have tested the application and what I think is great! But I wish that the lights are activated only when you make a pressure on the touchscreen buttons. Is what you know to do that?
Loved the crazy discos...
Great idea, and nicely implemented. :thumbup:
Possible to add an option to turn off the LED?

The LEDs should go off when you change the selection on either drop down list.
Sometimes you may need to toggle audio source on and off before it really goes off

Simply awesome............ make it more smooth if you can... great app by the way....

Confirming that this app works fcking seXy on Xperia U with CM9 (fxp145) ALso, love the rainbow thing Gr8 job And hell the music thing works toooo seXy on CM9 also ..............
But why the LEDs are back to normal if i am back to home screen by pressing back button its nt permanent .
But the left led is stable ..dont do anything
Btw, Made a Quick Review http://youtu.be/6Tn-tZPzAxE
Good job, thanks!
Too bad Android closes it when I play a memory intensive game, such as Dead Trigger... It'd be cool to have the light effects while shooting
Can you do a root version and make it stay in the memory of the phone?
Could you make it turn of when the screen does and turn on when the screen does cause that'd be perfect

The default behavior for an app is to shut down when you press the back button. If you want to keep it running in the background you can press the home button instead.

I don't know how it works with high prio processes on android, but I can look into it.
I also don't really know how good android is at deciding when to kill apps.
It is supposed to only kill apps when other apps need the memory, but I guess it is possible that it kills apps earlier than it really needs to.
Anyone know how good this works?
I don't want to change the app so it makes the rest of the system run poorly by holding on to memory that really should have been released.

Yes, but if the android framework is doing a good job it means your game really need the ram, so if my app stays active the game may not work so well any more.

Hello,
I've searched for a solution to turn off the LED bar for quite some time, but all the solutions via apps like LEDs-U-CTRL or uninstalling the sony.illumination.service package or removing the /system/apps/SemcIllumination.apk or the terminal commands from this thread don't work for me. Maybe because I've flashed the FXP152... The two packages don't exist.
Is there any other way to disable the LEDs? What versions of FXP support disabling the LEDs?
Thanks in advance!
yes u can disable ..

reply me if it doesnt work..
I can't believe it! It really works!
Thanks!
In FXP 210a the LED bar is finally completely off. Thanks to that my phone used only 2% of battery in the last 11 hours. Well... without using the phone much (sleeping for about 7 hours) and Wifi off. The Governor at "on demand" set to 200-400 MHz. :cyclops:
(of cause the LED bar will still blink at a custom frequency with a custom color when I get a message.)
btw: When the LED was always on the percentage went down every few minutes... It almost halves the duration of the battery when using the phone all day.
*Don't mind me reporting how things were progressing*

bro you know how turn off illumination bar of xperia u permanent, without apps? please tell me
Use illumination bar notification app (search urself) and on choosing the color of the theme of that app, don't slide non of the red, green and blue and then, save it. That's how.
P.S: That app didn't even use root access so you better give it a try

I don't know... I have something in mind, but it also could cause, that no led works at all or even that the phone won't boot anymore... So I don't even want to try it. (deleting the file /system/lib/hw/lights.montblanc.so)
As Little Zed said, you should try it with an app like screenfilter or the illumination bar notification app.
If you try out newer Roms like KitKat, then you also have an option to disable the LED but, I don't know if it will both disable the small LED on the top right and the LED bar... But this is something you might want to test.
ps: in the current KitKat Rom the LED bar won't work, you'd have to replace the above mentioned file with the one from CM10.1.

The pulse notification light in settings refers to the top right light and not to the LED bar However yuo can enable it flashing a package.
Read the second post of brigio345 in this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...28466&page=120 .
i have cm9 and the LED Bar ist just lighting up, when my battery is almost dead. and the top LED is lighting excactly like the Bar, but i just want the top LED to work. is there any possible way?
Does anyone know how to use the front key lights as notification led's on our L9 since we don't have one? I found out how to use the camera flash as one but that's the back of the phone and i don't like facing the phone screen face down on anything in fear of scratching the screen.
If there is not a method already around somewhere to do this, how hard would it be to get this working? I think it would be a great asset to our L9s!

How does it behave for you? On my L9 nothing changed at all once installed and enabled :/ What settings did you choose? Do they flash after the screen turns off for awhile after the notification, and stay flashing until they are read??

I just chose the default settings, and it flashes the front key lights till the message is read. Maybe cause I'm using P760 V10h on my P765.
The app is a battery drainer since it wakes the cpu up each time the buttons light up.
Im hoping they can program this feature into future roms for the L9 where it just causes the LED's to blink until the screen is turned back up when a notification is received. Not sure if its possible to program the blinking to run without waking the cpu?
That was another concern of mine, but if it was integrated into the rom in such a way to not wake the cpu then battery life would not be affected as much.
Hi.
I read on a tread that I can change the colors of my Leds on Sony Xperia U manually. That way I could have diferente colors, like blue-red-blue, instead of a color only (e.g blue-blue-blue).
So, when I go to sys/class/leds, and adjust the brightness, as I was told, it works (I can see that the Led changes), but after the Leds go off, when I turn them on again, they're back to default. If I go to the brightness again, all changes I made are gone.
How can I do what I want and why is this happening?
PS: I'm using Root Explorer and I do have r/w mounted. I also tried with ES File Explorer
Thanks!

U-Disco looks neat... I'm definitely going to keep it. But not quite what I'm looking for. Led's-u-ctrl is cool, I already knew about it. And it does almost what I want. You see, when you touch the BACK/HOME/OPTIONS in the bottom, or press the volume buttons, the Leds Bar illuminate. Leds-u-ctrl allows you the customize the color of the illumination (because there's really few colors by default).
What I want, I don't care if I have to do it manually, is to customize that illumination so it has 2 or 3 colors. Because Xperia U has (of course) 3 diferente LEDs

In that case, I guess best would be that you talk to the developers of these apps. I'm sure they know best. So you may PM them if you want to.
