Is it possible to have it so when u turn on the screen, each led comes on st a different time in a row, like first the back button, then the home, then recent apps, and then backwards when u turn off the screen?

I am pretty sure the controls to dim the lights, etc. for the capacitive buttons is in the kernel.
I am on nottachtrix, and i want this mod because my buttons are yellowish and i get a little frustrated when i see that, the apps doesnt work, my menu button keep half turned on. Please
(I am still a newb but i used the search button and i didnt find anything for gb)

This can be done on all the cm rom's under System Settings, display, automatic backlight, edit other levels. Screen and buttons back light levels can be adjusted.

RootDim allows you to turn off backlight using other lights but be careful not to turn off the LCD!

Thanks in advance.

I'm actually going to tack on two more questions...
1. Can we turn off the notification in the notification bar that informs us of our Wifi status?
2. Is there any sort of hard reset with this phone? Like a battery pull would achieve in older models?

1: I don't think do without root, but there was a post somewhere on how to do it but i don't think it works.
2: hold the power button for like 10 seconds.
I thought about that like 10 seconds after I posted.. Haha. Does it work in recovery /bootloader too?

This is a mod how to enable navigation bar(on screen buttons) , its very simple and easy...
Add the following line at the end of buid.prop file
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
now on reboot we will have nav-bar like on nexus 4
To disable hardware keys, I used root explorer go to system/usr/keylayout click and hold on kaypad.nl and choose from menu open in text editor and 139,158,172 edit the home to hom and do the same on all 3 lines and hit save and reboot,
Plus I went and deleted all the 139, 158, 172 lines from external_kbd.kl, Generic.kl, MHLRCP.kl, osp3-input.kl and qwerty.kl. I dont know if that helps because I deleted them first then edited the lines in kaypad.nl.
Thanx to accentuer he made a zip that works also and might be easier for some people

If you would prefer they didn't you could always turn them off in settings>display>front key light.
As having both seems redundant.
Does this mod disable the hardware keys, I'll do it but no point in having on screen keys and hardware keys.

Many like this from what I have read. It can come in very handy should hardkeys stop functioning.
With all due respect, for me it takes up screen space I would prefer not to give up. It is a matter of personal preference and options are always a good thing.
Edit: Inverted screenshot= nice.

I would have to agree. It doesn't make too much sense to do this on our device, but I for sure appreciate the know how and option to do it.

I assume all your apps will automatically reconfigure to account for the different screen dimentions?
Hmm, tough choice: give up some screen real estate to gain a dedicated task switcher button and context menu button.

If you don't mind trying something, you could open /system/usr/keylayout/keypad_8064.kl in a text editor and put a "#" (without the quotes) at the beginning of the last 3 lines.
Change:
Code:
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 172 HOME VIRTUAL
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
To
Code:
#key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
#key 172 HOME VIRTUAL
#key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
I have not tried this as I don't have any plans to use this mod... may want to do a quick backup first in case it renders your phone unnavigable.
You may also still have to turn off the backlights in settings>display>front key light.
Nice to know we can do this if our hw keys end up not working in the future

Ok, so something like that would work for disabling the hw keys.
Good to know.
Did you by any chance try it the way I suggested? It may be a little cleaner, though I don't think it makes a difference.

HAHA!
np, I hear you and completely understand.
Hey all, just as the subject says it's there a way to disable the capacitive buttons in build.prop or something? I have the lights turned off now but I still accidentally hit them. If anyone has some input please let me know! Thanks!

If you are on a custom Rom, then you should be able to remap them. Try to remap all the buttons to" no action"

That's a good idea, now to find a source based rom with good battery
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
The latest Rootbox builds have been pretty gentle on battery, support both ME's B20A1 and Smooch kernels, and allow for remapping the capacitive keys.
