Whenever I click the volume rocker, the display always comes on, I think thats why my phone runs out of battery so much, because I keep pressing it on accident. I am running the evil fascination rom v. 3.5.1. I also dont want to upgrade from this version.
That was one of the mods done for Community Rom and I guess it applied for EF as well, not a bug. I suppose you could edit the command option for each volum controls if you know how to. Or try asking a kind dev a favor to help you out by a flashable mod zipfile.
I know you said you didn't want to upgrade but this feature was removed in v3.6.0 just fyi

Hi everyone,
I ran into some trouble by upgrading Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 to the latest ICS 4.0.3
Alpha Relase from codeworkx (Build 02122012; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410400).
After upgrading, I noticed the menu and back button are not receiptive to
touch any more and dont work. The background light of the two buttons still
shines. But when I hit either of them nothing happens. The home butten works
though.
While upgrading to ICS 4.0.3 I also upgraded the modem version to XXLPB
Modem (just in case, it matters).
To fix the issue, I tried to go back to Cyanogenmod 7 again, but strangely, here
the buttons dont work now anymore either. I am lost.
Does anyone have a clue, what happend? Its really hard to use Android without
any menu and back button (I installed the virtual button app to have at least
on screen buttons).

Try to make a clean install of a custom rom through recovery(no AOSP)... If this doesn't help, try to flash an official gingerbread firmware using ODIN....

If your home button doesn't work after ICS ugrade..
If your home button doesn't work after ICS ugrade..
please do it.
1) You must do rooting.
2) install "Root Explorer" application.
3) run "Root Explorer"
4) go to "/efs/imei".
5) you have to make "keystr" file
6) just write down it "ON"
- please use capital "ON" ... not "on"
7) save and rebooting
8) enjoy
I installed several official Firmware ROMs via Odin. Since I got my phone from Vodafone, I used the official Vodafone ROMs. Unforunately without success. The update process went fine (although some ROMs produced bootloops after update), the menu and back button still dont work.
It kind of seems they are physically broken. But how, I cannot explain. Or could it still be a software issue?

Well, the home button does work. Its the menu and back button who dont.
I had a look at the keystr file anyway. Its there and it already contains "ON". Still no function...

Shouldn't full wipe and installation of an official rom be sufficient? How would rooting and installing a custom rom again be of additional use to make the buttons work?

Your basic problem is you have installed Alpha and Beta roms and have lost buttons .
Probability is its software not hardware .Custom roms are of no use .
You need to wipe the lot and determine if its hardware or firmware .
....................................
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero .
Return to service centre .
jje
If nothing is left to do yet with the possibility of Odin rootet firmware.
Of course, the best 3 piece set ...
I guess I am out of luck and have to send the phone to repair.
All the phone wipes and re-flashes with various custom and official roms (tried 1 part and 3 part roms; also with re-partitioning in odin) didnt fix the buttons.
I guess the phone really is broken.
Thanks for your replies.
i have the similiar problem but my home button works but my back button doesnt. it has actually switched and my home button has been doing the functions of the back button and the back button does nothing. it lights up to touch but no haptic feedback or functions. i tried the steps listed above with writing the script to ON and rebooted and still same issue. worked fine until i flashed the rootbox aokp ics rom. only thing i havent done to try to fix it is to factory reset and re-install rom. any suggestions on another alternative?
any updates on this issue?
Did you fix this problem?
Thanks

Yes it looks like your already have, but go to the AT&T Galaxy S II (SGH-I777) forum to get ROMs and such. This is the forum for the GT-I9100. A different model phone.
The two phones are very close, but there are differences, such as the i777 having 4 capacitive buttons, and the i9100 having only 2 with 1 hardware button.

Who are you asking?
Hello there.
I'm not a quite noob, know usual flash things.
I am currently use CleanRom 4.4 Pro version, but it happens all the roms of firmware 3.11.605.22 and also recent leak 3.13.605.7.
First of all, the stock leaked rooted roms are fine.
All the other roms which are customized by devs here (ICS sense 3.6) have the problem.
I usually use apps for screen off. (tasker, go launcher function, or "Screen off and lock")
When I turn off the screen with those apps, it reboot the phone.
I figured out android.policy.jar has the problem.
All the customized roms have APM in the android.policy.jar file.
I replaced the file to stock, the problem is gone.
The thing is, I also wanna use "volume wake" function, which is also in the same file.
Volume wake mod usually contain APM, so it occurs screen off-reboot.
Is there any way to use "screen off apps" and "volume wake" together in ICS sense 3.6 roms?
Sense 4 roms have bluetooth issue, so I do not want to use them yet.
HI
SINCE NOONE WORKS ON MODIFICATIONS OF ROMS FOR OUR DEVICES, HERE IS ONE FROM MY TREASURY.
I HOPE THAT THIS MOVE WILL ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO DO THE SAME.
GOAL IS TO CHANGE LOOK, FEEL, AND APP FUNCTIONALTY OF OUR DEVICES.
STOP TALKING, LET'S SEE:
Features:
Rooted out of the box
deodexed
init.d support
busybox
removed bloatware
changed boot/shutdown animation
modded (light) systemui,framework,contact etc.
with built in
potato gradient
quicklaunch
3minit battery
added some useful apk's like
appolo
quick boot
battery bar
and Airidosas252 kernel V0,3
And minimal other changes, to make space for mods.
How to install:
Make CWM backup
Copy maxx05.zip to your sd card (external_SD)
option 1. CLEAN INSTALL:
Make factory reset, clean dalvik cache
Install ROM
Reboot
Dont scare, first boot take up to 10 min...
option 2.INSTALL WITHOUT FACTORY RESET (TO PRESERVE APPS AND DATA)
(I can't guarantee stability)
Clean cache, clean dalvik cache
Install ROM
Reboot
After bootup, make changes in Potato gradient, to avoid black background of statusbar (make it transparent if you wish).
HAPPY FLASHING, AND GO ON, MAKE YOUR OWN MODS (AND SHARE)

Is it possible to use your rom but with unmodified systemui, framework etc? If so, what should I replace? I want to check it out, especially the LED function.

Yes, just rewrite my LGSystemUI, framework-res, and lge-res, with stock and deodexed versions of them, change prmissions to -rw-r--r-- (like other files in folders).
And delete 3minit/potato gradient from system/app (com.three.minitbatterysetting, and com.potatogradientapp).
Please, post result here.
Unfortunately
I flashed your rom as it is, without changing anything. Just to prevent making any mistake from my part. I can confirm that the LED still doesn't work as it's supposed to, at least on my device. The only difference I noticed was that with your rom the LED notifications worked every time I unlocked and then locked the screen without dismissing them while with Amiga's they sometimes did and sometimes did not. The fact is that the LED is supposed to flash by default when the screen is off and the phone is untouched but it doesn't with both roms. So I guess it is a KK bug.

Really dont know what to say, because, on my device, LED notification works normaly, eg, in the morning (loooong screen off) I allways see happy flashes on it. You have P710?

Might be kernel related or system related. Why? How is the led turned on? It has a driver that turns red blue or green at an intensity. So kernel might be buggy or system might use it just bad. Try with stock kernel if you are using a modded one if you want to debug it. If it doesn't work it's OS related something is messing up the notification usage.

Yes, I do have a P710. It would be nice if there were many more checking your rom, so there would be more results. Could there possibly be minor hardware differences between bunches of the same model? I don't know what to think. It's a shame because you people create roms with hard work and we can't use them properly.

@SoulrainFalls I honestly doubt there is any hardware difference. Hmmm what kernel do you have? Also an app or anything can basically mess up the usage of LED.

Both this rom and Amiga's use Airidosas252 kernel. I know about apps, that's why I didn't install anything more than K9-Mail and BBM to check. But it seems strange that with JB I had all sorts of apps installed and the LED was fine. And how come the notifications don't work by default but do when I unlock and then lock the screen again? What I can see is that people are having LED problems even with stock KK .kdz. I think LG screwed the update(?) and that's bad for these guys that make the roms.

Might be bad update by lg or a glitch in kernel or an app interfering. Anyway this kind of glitches are very very very very hard to trace and debug.

I agree, hard to trace bug, but, just for to be shure, it will be smart to flash stock KK kernel from SoulrainFalls's country/provider KDZ. No matter wich rom is installed on device.
HELP
Hi i need help.
I upgrade my LG L7 II firmware from 4.1 to 4.4.2 and i'm not satisfied i want to downgrade back to 4.1

My P710 came with V10J EUROPE OPEN by default. I'm willing to try what you suggest because it can help others have an answer too but I don't know how to flash just the kernel. Any help would be much appreciated.

Just flash your original firmware from this page: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=21. Choose one from your country/region/provider, and must be version 10 (JB), NOT 20a (KK).
After flashing you MUST perform factory reset.

If you is on v10j, that is JB firmware...
When You flash KK, procedure for stock kernel is:
From the page: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=21, download your country/region/provider firmware 20a kdz.
From tutorial on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7-l9-ii/development/lg-l7-ii-how-to-unpack-kdz-img-t2815176, perform steps from 1. to 10.
Between extracted images, is APPS.
Rename it to boot.img , that is stock kernel.
Place it to your external_SD.
Open terminal (on the phone) and type:
su (after that press enter)
dd if=/storage/external_SD/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 (and press enter)
If you're not familiar with terminal, download airidosas kernel from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7-l9-ii/general/p710-p713-p714-kitkat-kernel-lg-optimus-t2889120
and replace boot.img in his .zip with your extracted from your .kdz.
Flash zip from recovery

Unfortunately these steps won't work because I'm on Linux. If anyone knows another way, I'd be happy to check it. Meanwhile, I flashed a couple of different versions of Airidosas kernel and noticed a tiny improvement. First of, with both v0.2 and v0.2.1, in the Home button LED settings the preview worked fine while before it was cut off immediately and second, every time I received a notification, when I unlocked and then locked the screen without even opening the app that sent the notification and without dissmissing it, the LED flashed happily. I checked with both the lockscreen in Amiga's rom and with WidgetLocker.
In conclusion:
1) The LED preview works in the Home button LED settings.
2) The LED notification works when unlocking and then locking the screen without dismissing the notification.
3) The LED stays off when a notification is received and the screen is off, unless 2) happens.
4) The LED works on boot time and while charging.
These are the findings on my device. I don't know if anything makes any sense. Just a thought. I think I read somewhere (correct me if I'm mistaken) that in KK the LED function has been changed and while in JB one would only see the LED flash when the screen was off, in KK the LED notifications work even while the screen is on. Could there be a bug somewhere in this?
