anyone else tried this yet. I think its amazing and makes finding someone tons easier than scrolling through people to find the exact person. kicks add if you haven't try it you should.

I totally agree i love it and its rather nice if you have about 100 contacts and tons of music and such rather nifty app
this app is awesome.
does anybody know if there is something like this app that enables text input(anywhere) instead of typing on normal keyboard ?
because of my newly colored trackball i would enjoy having it turn and stay on (like the htc hero) when the screen is on. attempts to find and app or setting to do this have failed.
im running a cyanogen rom so perhaps there is a setting somewhere im missing?
Colored trackball? On an Eris?

i spent more than an hour looking into how i could do this myself.. checked forums and google for existing apps, looked into developing my own app, and looked into hacking/modding some files in the phone to fix my problem. all the work is beyond my ability and i just dont have the time to learn how to do these things on my own right now.. my best bet is to ask one of you who understand this sort of thing to use the source code from "covedesign dev" to achieve what i want.. so please, if you have nothing better to do, help me out?
Is there an app that can disable the lights in the captive buttons?
I still want them to be functional, I just don't want them on.

I'll second this, from a theming point of view, this would be a desirable thing to have... perhaps someone could suggest a hack instead
I was about to suggest this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.geekherd.softbuttonshack
however it is clearly stated that this is not possible on the Nexus S
*ALERT: The Samsung Nexus S will NEVER be supported. Not because I don't want to, but because it is not possible, I own one and I have tried and tried. Samsung (or Google) have decided that the bottom LEDs will always be on as long as the display is on, powered at the same time. Obviously breaking a few APIs as well as the ability to turn those LEDs off based on the light-sensor.*

Hmm well I've experienced instances where the screen is on but my buttons didn't light up. It looked pretty cool with a black background which lead me to start this thread.

Hey, could you please tell me where the feature is? That may just be the thing that completely sells me on CM7!
Are u sure its in CM7?

IIs there a way to lock the keyboard backlights on when the screen is on? Or permanently if there's no screen on option? Build.prop editing?
Thanks

Name calling might not be the best method for getting a helpful response. Just out of curiosity, why are you attempting to keep the keyboard backlit? Does your light sensor not work?

I believe by saying 'this' he was implying he'd like to find a way to do this as well.

I believe he's trying to say that he doesn't want the light sensor to control the keypad backlight. He wants screen on = lights on and vise versa.

I figured as much, I'm curious why you would want the keyboard backlight always on draining power, unless it was dark enough out that you are having trouble seeing the keyboard (light sensor).

Good catch. Over looked that. Thought he meant to post a link as in... "This. (see link below)"

Exactly. I've run into too many situations where the keyboard needs to be backlit to be seen, but the sensor either flickers the backlights on or does not turn them on at all and I can't see the keys. If I could get a screen on, keys on, mod for this, I'd be delighted.
There is an app called "Keyboard Backlight Controller" that accomplishes what you are looking for. If you don't want another app, it might be worth decompiling and using its code to mod your phone to accomplish the same goal.

I've tried this and it doesn't always work. Although it did manage to lock the soft key backlights on.
Yeah I just tried that app too, doesn't seem to work right. I did a quick search and found this:
A: The keyboard backlight can be controlled via /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness It appears that it's a simple on-off control (echoing '0' turns it off, echoing '1' or higher turns it on). For some reason, the default system backlight control stuff seems to set this to "83", but I don't know why. I can't seem to see any difference between 83 and any other number. The file is readable by anyone, but only writable by root, so you'll need root access to the phone to manipulate it this way.
Maybe this will be of some use to you.

Going along those lines, the D3 has 7 files in there, all of which as 0 bytes and contain nothing when opened through the Root Explorer text editor. The 7 are alt-key-light, blue, button-backlight, green, kpd_backlight_en, red, and shift-key-light.
So I'm assuming shift and alt are the keyboard indicators, red green and blue are the flashing indicators, button is the softkeys, and kpd is the keyboard.
Now I'm stuck.
I got the text above from wiki. After looking a little closer it doesn't seem to be relavent to what you are trying to do. After looking around a little more I think the problem your looking at is that the physical keyboard backlights are controlled by the light sensor. I don't think you can control the keyboard independently of the screen.

CM7 has this built in along with turning on/off the softkeys
Hey xda Community.
I am searching an app where I can Set Some Tasks. The app Shall remind me to Do These until I Tick a box for example. This should be repeaten every day. I have tested Some apps like Google keep But thats not what I am searching for.

Well, Keep does exactly what you said in your description, but it's not what you search for? I think it is kind hard to help here.
Try installing the similar apps from Play Store, like Planner, To-Do calendar etc.
Well, keep is not "strict" enough.
If I accidently press delete in the notification bar it disappers like a normal message. I am searching for something wich remains reminding me As long As I have not Done the task.
