I'm running cm10.2 right now, but this issue is independent of Rom. Right now about 30% of the time my capacitive buttons won't respond, and sometimes the recent apps button starts registering phantom touches all over the place and I can't do anything unless I turn the screen off and on again. I'd like to know if there's a way to completely disable the capacitive buttons, not just the backlight, and turn on the on screen buttons. Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Same here...
*BUMP* I have the same problem with my phone... Any fix for this? Running CM 10.1 RC. I have tried those scripts to disable the bottons so that I can use the softkeys, but they won't disable. Any ideas XDA?

I haven't been able to disable the hardware keys but I have activated the soft keys by adding this line to my build.prop
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
They work fantastically now. Hope this helps you too.

Hello,I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to disable the light on the capacitive buttons after installing CM9 with soft button mod? Thanks and sorry if this has been covered.
There is an app called Screen Filter in the play store that enables you to turn off the key lights. It works for me and you should go check.

I use Screen Filter too and it's pretty simple... You just have to open the app everytime u turn on or reboot ur gp.

I think if you have the AOKP ROM then theres a option there to disable them manually
Here is my guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374233
It should work on every rom/stock.
thanks guys, I am using screen filter now and it is working - though I dont think it worked for me on GB. Also, I will try to get LEDKill working as a permanent solution.
I dont think I am using the AOKP rom, I am just using the CMP for SGP 5.0 USA rom from the dev section. Does the AOKP rom happen to have working bluetooth? For that matter, do any of the the ICS roms have working bluetooth?
bluetooth isnt working in any ics/cm9/miui room cuz all are based on cm9 where bluetooth isnt working
Hi guys,
I currently have my Photon rooted and unlocked running the 2.3.5 Hybrid (Stock/CM7) rom. Was wondering if anyone has a mod that would allow me to wake the screen with the volume buttons? I was running cm7 and it was a great feature but I switched roms because the camera and camcorder were freezing on me. Just wondering if it was possible to add it. thanks in advance
I'm still using cm7.2 and never ever had cam and video freeze but to turn screen on or off try smart screen on (off) app which uses proximity sensor. I'm using the off feature and works good so far but takes a little tweak to get it to work. Also using volume button to wake up and loving it.

I'm on the same rom and I really miss that feature. I found 2-3 articles that tell you how to mod android.services.jar to make it where the volume keys will wake the screen but I couldn't get it to work on this rom. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas that would be great!
I also tried above but its not working ..

Not sure how you would go about this but I really want to ask why? Just because? Or is there a practical reason behind it?

that should work, you might have to disable then re enable when you reboot

I may take a look at that. Not sure when I'd need it but can't hurt to have more tools! Thanks!

some places (with stock, or builds that work like stock) if the light sensor "sees" that it is bright enough the home, back, ect will have the backlight turn off. but i can't see the buttons unless the backlight is on.
i'm using the gummy rom so my button light are always on.
This App ROCKS!!!!
So I think the capacitive buttons on my Rezound have bit the dust. I was having trouble with CM 10.2, and thought that was the cause. I have since tried various roms that had worked in the past and have tried going back to a stock rom to no avail. I now believe I just have a good old fashioned hardware failure.
I'm trying to figure out a work around, as I can't really afford a new phone currently. Does anyone know if we have any ROMs that have the home and back buttons on them like a Nexus device, (where they are the black and white softkeys at the bottom)?

All CM10.2 based roms have em, just need to enable the buttons. Using PIE controls is an option also.
To enable the Nav bar, try adding this to your build.prop and reboot.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Edit: Just noticed a typo, cut it from another site, it's fixed now.
Thanks for your reply. I've never edited any build.prop before, I knew you could do that but didn't know why you would or what it did.
I installed CarbonRom to get the nav bar and it seems to work pretty well.
Edit: can I turn off the lights for the capacitive buttons with a build.prop?

You can use kernel tuner and slide the slider to 0. That'll disable the lights.

Check to see if Carbon has a Buttons section under the Settings, if so you can turn the brightness off.

I added that line to build.prop in CM 10.2, and nothing changed. Also I couldn't find the pie control options, so I dunno.
Carbon had no buttons section, and I couldn't find an option anywhere else to disable the led lights.
Hmm, you may need expanded desktop on also, I'll try it on mine later.

I found the error, what you typed earlier was wrong - it's "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0".
I changed that, rebooted and now it works.
Sorry, copied that from another thread, guess they had it wrong also..

I can confirm that this works on CM11 too.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 I9205 LTE running 4.4.2 Stock ROM
My Menu and Back keys works fine but only if I keep touching the screen or the soft keys but once I stop touching it for like 10 seconds the soft keys would stop being sensitive and I have to like touch the screen or tap the soft keys a few times before it works again.
Is this a software bug or am I having a hardware issue here? Mine has warranty void already. This issue persisted ever since I'm using Stock 4.2.2 I upgraded to 4.4.2 thinking it would resolve the issue.
I had this problem with the Back button - after a while I had to press it at least 4 times for it to respond. Or I have to press the Menu button for the buttons to light on and the Back button work again after this.
same here
Well im just glad im not the only one.. is thier any solution for this? I don't think it's a hardware issue
