App to disable captive buttons

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.

[HOW TO] Enable Navigation/Softkey bar

Hey yall. After trying many methods of enable the soft keys which i really like my self, i finaly found out whats messing it up.
in /system in build.prop there is a bit of code which looks like that in the screenshot. my problem was i kept adding code when i simply needed to change the existing code to 0 instead of 1. as shown in the screenshot
also as you can see they work in the xda app. but the buttons dont work in any other app.
anyone know why? i tried changing resolution in build prop and nothing. so i need some help.
So again. My problem is that i cant get the nav bar to work all the time.

Okay um. Attempted to change DPI in build prop. It did work and change DPI but softkeys still only work on the xda app.
I'm thinking maybe disabling hw capatative buttons will fix the problem.

Attempted to add a persist code to the soft key

That didn't help
Sent from my HTC first using xda app-developers app

after doing some research, all i figured out was that i would have to decompile and modify the framework-res.apk...
even though i have experience with making apps, i get so lost in google's apps since they arent compiled with classes, its all pure xml and all of it doesnt make sense, so if anyone could, please, figure out what to do in the framework res, to make the nav bar work better, id be very grateful
you can find it at /system/framework
thanks

Well nice find so far! I really like the idea of on screen soft keys but what other use would it have that we can't get from the 3 hardware one's we've got? Does the screen feel crowded, because I imagine that with the thickness of them it'd be pretty cramped

Well you could give it a go and see what its like when running the xda app. Unless it works normal.
Um..screen isn't really crowded. Its about two status bars thick. Uses? Um...I know it has a recent app button. And if you're using a keyboard it will give you the option to minimize it. Other than that its just a nexus feel. And once you enable it you can use apps or xposed installer to have them minimized and you can toggle them like a status bar when ever you need it.

I have to be deodexed right? Because I just tried it and nothing happened.. I've got the odexed version of the ROM for the extra speed boost

I never learned the difference but I guess. I never flashed any other ROM. I'm still on the one the phone shipped with.

Well an odexed ROM basically prevents any modifications to the firmware or any major graphic ui change but in turn opens apps faster so I'm guessing that's the problem

That could be the problem.
Stock ROM works really well on my device so I'm not changing it till we get cm.
But I'm just wondering why it won't let the nav bar be persistent, even though I addad a persist command to it. And only works on the xda app
Sent from my HTC first using xda app-developers app

I think I figured out the problem. The framework-res.apk manages the overall layout of android, I just need to figure out which if the 600 xml files does that and give the nav bar a bottom margin.

Major find or not I've found out that the app also works with wordrefernce.com it's an old app. I found out today in French class lol but for some reason the on screen soft keys don't work with the premium xda app. Also I should say that there seems to be a 1 second lag when pressing the on screen keys. Unlike the hardware ones that are instant. I've also got lag everywhere else in the phone.. Don't know if this is a side effect

I've managed to freeze my phone many times just going through the app drawer so...its not a side effect.
I actually get around 700ms worth of lag using hard keys so I don't feel a difference. But yeah for some reason the only work on some apps...
Personal opinion. If you want a nexus feel then you would use it. But its gonna tale a while till I figure out what's wrong. I'm still working with framework-res.apk at the moment

Okay apps that use the soft keys include

see, i sold my broke first and when i was doing a factory reset and testing to make sure none of my info was present, the nav keys became persistent
So to make the be active 24/7 you MUST DO a factory reset....or maybe just a dalvik wipe, but i did a full reset and they worked fine.

you need to write script (i don't the commands) to enable it after qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Auto Hide Soft Keys 's Spoof Soft Keys option can enable it via hack, so there is a way to activate it on boot when it doesn't show

Is "Hide navigation bar per app" still there?
Hi, I've just bought the LG GFlex today. My D955 comes with JB 4.2.2.
I do really love the feature that let me hide the navigation bar per app, I find it extremely useful.
I'm really curious to know whether this setting is still available into the new KitKat update.
Reading that the LG G Pro 2 having already KitKat doesn't have it, although it has a software nav bar, I'm wondering whether this feature is incompatible with KitKat due to its full screen API.
Those of you who already updated their GFlex can please answer this question?
Thanks

I am also interested in this question.
Some have the 4.4.2, could give us the answer.
Thank you.

I'm curious as to if google wallet tap and pay finally works. I may be completely mistaken, but on KitKat, I don't believe you need the secure element like you did on older android versions. Not having tap and pay is one of my few complaints about this phone.

I just updated my F340K to 4.4 and now I get a google error in each boot, "com.google.services.gapps has halted". I tested several solutions like clear cache, clear google data, also removed my google account from mobile phone and still appears.
anybody with same problem?.

I'm replying to myself, the problem comes from swiftkey app (swipe keyboard), after unistall it the error message gone. Maybe a compatibilty issue with KitKat.
I left the solution here for further reference.

Crap. I miss that coming from my old Galaxy Nexus. I figured as soon as I got on a carrier phone, it would be blocked because they have that worthless pile of garbage Isis as their own.

Hi again guys, after update to 4.4 I'm having very heavy battery problems. I lost around 20% of autonomy, I already check startup software without results, anyone in same situation?.

kitkat update, looking good
Got my kitkat update yesterday (I'm in the UK with an f340 model). Things I've noticed so far:
Text does look sharper (different font?).
Home screen now available in portrait.
Better way of handling apps in full screen (before there was a small arrow at the bottom of the screen to show the soft keys if you'd chosen to hide them for selected apps. Now you swipe up to show the soft keys - definite improvement).
You can hide the volume and/or brightness sliders in the notification pull down.
You can now say OK Google when you launch Google by swiping up the home key.
Signal strength, and other information in the status bar at the top are now white/light grey (I've already forgotten if they were green before!)
Love this phone!

[Q] Preproduction HTC One hardware -- No Camera!

Hello there,
This is likely a strange scenario. I got a preproduction HTC One M7 from a friend who works at a wireless carrier... it was just an extra phone that he had since I had lost mine.
It is preproduction hardware... so the exterior looks nothing like the normal HTC Ones. But all the internal guts are the same... except for the camera! It does not have a rear-facing camera! So when I got the phone, if I opened the camera app, it would only open and use the front facing camera. Ok, no biggie, it was a free phone after all!
But then I started to get creative, and unlocked, rooted, and installed Cyanogenmod on the phone. Interestingly enough, there was no camera app on the phone. So I went and downloaded Google Camera. And now... when I open this camera app (or any of the dozen that I've tried), I get an error saying "Camera Error. Can't connect to the camera.", and then the app closes. I'm assuming that is because it is trying to open the app with starting up the rear camera. I tried finding an app that might only open the front camera, but couldn't find an app that worked.
Any ideas? Unfortunately, while I made a Nandroid of my previous stock ROM, I didn't realize that it would get blown away when I rooted and installed Cyanogenmod (i.e. the Nandroid was sitting in the /sdcard folder). So I can't even get back to a version of firmware where the camera works!
Thanks,
mattchoo

Flashlight doesn't work, but camera flash does

I'm using a stock xt1095 which I bought with a broken LCD and replaced it. First time I went to use the flashlight I found out it didn't work. The camera flash does work however, but I can't get the flashlight to work through the quick settings or any third party apps.
Any ideas?

Bump...I don't really see how it could be a hardware issue because the flash works for the camera. I did replace the screen and everything else is working fine. Is everyone else's flashlight working on stock marshmallow?

Just reflash, it solves alot of problems

Well it's completely stock as in no root, stock recovery, and I just got it recently so it was factory wiped before I got it. I was hoping I could fix this issue without rooting and installing a custom recovery since I longer have a backup phone and I'm working 70+ hour weeks right now.

Bump...I realized the camera flash only lights up one side of the flash instead of both. Is this normal behavior? Maybe there is a separate connector for the other side that isn't making good contact? I'm just not looking forward to taking it apart again, but I need the flashlight.
