Is it possible to deactivate the softkeys under Gingerbread? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Yesterday i got my galaxy tab. The first what i 've done was to update to Gingerbread + overcome 2.01. Everything works fine expect one thingM; the shiny Softkeys. When i am watching movies (at the lowest brightness) the softkeys suck. It causes bleeding and it's mutch brighter then the backlights.
Is it possible to deactivate them after 15 secs?
Thanks.

download BLN from the market and choose Disable

Unfortunately it is not working.

[Q] BackLightNotification for LG Optimus 2X possible?

Is it possible to get the BackLightNotification mod for i9000 to o2x?
Or do we need the kernelsource?
will NoLED work with Optimus 2X or is it only for i9000/Nexus S? would be nice if it worked

noled would work but drain the battery as 2X does not have amoled and thus does use full power lighting the screen. there was a post on the forum already.

NoLED works very bad on o2x due to LCD... doesn't look good at all and drains battery
damn then I'm out of options :/ damn those who don't use any form of LED notification...
Someone get this working!! Possibly with no flashing..on the future G2X?
maybe we can use the backlight of the capacitive buttons instead?
I second that
I was thinking the same, i rather want a nice little touch button SHOW, I was thinking that some blinking would b nice.
But I read somewhere on the forum, that we need the source code and something else to be able to control the led in the buttons.
think you need a kernel tweak to change the lights on the buttons like the galaxy kernel mod ..
NoLED is for amoled screens and not standard LCD
Missed Message Flasher, when set to flashing less than every 250ms, flashes the buttons and not the screen on the LG Optimus S/T/V/One. So, this is a step in the right direction - and it doesn't require root or flashing new kernels.

Try like 50
I even tried 25, but screens still turn on.
Hmm...what about like 5ms?
Do a search for this on google...

I'm a new user so I can't post new links yet...on you tube you can find an example of it lighting up the capacitive buttons...

That touch led app works great. I just wish it worked with google voice.

I want to overclock the LED!! just like Torch app
He is talking about torch from Cyanogenmod that has an "superbright" option.

Theres an app called Nexus Torch that allows you to do that bright option.

My phone dies when I start this app in High Brightness
No the screen goes off, you have to press in the same place to get it back.
Because I think it takes the voltage from the LCD and gives it to the LED to make it brighter.
Nexus torch doesn't work proper too :'( doesn't anyone knows a good alternative i'm not only one using it am i!?!
disco light app, free in the market
Bump cause I want to know this The Nexus One torch makes my LED blink every couple of seconds (no, strobe is not on) but it doesn't do this in cyanogen. Running ARHD and would love an overclocked LED
Doesnt work for me on LeeDroid but here is the apk of the Cyanogen Torch. Might want to see if it works. Mine just force closes all the time until I uninstall it, the process somehow comes back and force closes a second time. All is fine after I uninstall it though.
Doesn't work
The Nexus One torch from the market works fine for strobe/normal brightness but high brightness has it flash on and off (about once every 2s) and turns the lcd screen off When running cyanogen, the torch.apk doesn't turn the screen off or flash.
I cant believe that there are no apps to do this. I think some of us might need to learn how to code lol
Yeah we got the APK it just needs to get fixed for the gingerbread roms because the apk i have worked on ARHD 3.x

[Q] Capacitive buttons

Hi mates..
Currently I own an HTC Flyer, been an HTC fan and would like to try this beast as it seems amazing, one thing though:
Is it possible to use the capacitive buttons as a notification LED? Thats the only thing why I would prefer the Galaxy Nexus over this as in every other aspect I think this beast wins easily..
Much appreciated, thanks..
Good question. If you could flash the capacitive buttons when you have a pending message that would be cool. But I don't know sorry. Just supporting this question.
I'm thinking though that those lights aren't as efficient as a normal LED? Too much battery usage?
I have a Samsung captivate, which has similar buttons. certain kernels would include this feature with an app called BLN. Had to be baked into the kernel to work though
The streak had an app called streakled which worked as long as the phone was rooted.

Just only root? cause the post above you says it has to be in the kernel..
Thanks for the reply mate

It is possible use the NoLed app for notification on the amoled display.
yes, just root. But there may have been differences in the way the captivate and the streak handled capacitive buttons which would allow the streak to have just root access but require kernel changes for the captivate. However, I dont know enough about such things to say what.

Hi, generally, it's possible using app called BLN control. However, that app requires a kernel support which is not yet stable for Note AFAIK.
I'm currently using NoLED which I do recommend - it works very well apart from a few glitches here and there (sometimes, the power button will not activate lock screen when NoLED notification is active - it would turn NoLED notification on/off. In that case I just have to use home button instead).
I would probably prefer BLN as it's simpler and should offer some battery saving against NoLED (possibly negligible) so I hope somebody makes a stable BLN patch for kernel. OTOH NoLED displays differently coloured icons for various events which is nice.

Hi mate thanks for the reply
Do you know if BLN works with CF-Root kernel?as that might be the only kernel I would flash on my Note when I have it..
EDIT: a quick question: does BLN work with lock replacements apps eg. WidgetLocker? I noticed that NoLED only work with stock lock..
Thanks again

As I said, one of the devs tried the BLN patches but said the kernel was then unstable so they are not included in any of the currently available kernels AFAIK.
I'm currently on Abyss 1.2 kernel and I can so far highly recommend it. Let's see in a few days.

I can't confirm that. I'm using WidgetLocker and my NoLED notifications work fine (just tested with a missed call). The only slight hiccup is that after you wake up the screen with the notification the stock lock screen is shown instead of WidgetLocker. I've got a feeling there is probably a way around this - spotted a HomeHelper in the WidgetLocker settings that should handle the Home button in certain situations (presumably like this one). Haven't been bothered enough to mess with these settings yet

Thanks alot mate, really appreciate it

[Q] [BOUNTY] Screen rotation on ICS

This problem has annoyed me for way to long, so i'll pay $50 USD to anyone who can help me.
No matter what i do, i cannot get screen/auto rotation to work properly on any ICS rom. It will stay portrait mode no matter what. Auto-rotation works fine on any Froyo/Gingerbread rom i use. Flashed every ICS rom available. I've tried the following:
1. Turning on auto-rotation in Settings>Display
2. Toggling auto-rotate in Settings>Display while the phone is turned landscape
3. Toggling notification widget orientation icon
4. Reflashing/Wiping everything/flashing and wiping (don't get me started)
The only app that actually rotates for me is Camera.
Accelerometer Values app from market tells me everything is fine.
wow dude i don't really know what to say. I did try team icssgs's RC3.1 a while back and everything worked great. Actually, i can even say i was rather impressed on how ICS handled screen rotation. Had that turning iphone-like effect and worked every single time perfectly, no matter what i was running, as long as it was enabled on settings.
Any chance you might have some app interfering with screen rotation? like some toggle widget or something?
Wish you good luck mate

nope happens on any newly flashed fresh ICS rom
Lol, I'm very doubtful that my solution will work, but if you're desperate enough you can try and who knows, I might win 50 bucks
First answer me this: On your last Gingerbread Rom, you had the ability to turn off all animations in the Settings -> Display menu.
Did you turn off all animations?? If yes, read my solution. If no, stop reading here
So, you answered yes. Here's my proposal:
1. Flash a Gingerbread ROM again. Turn ON all animations.
2. Flash your desired ICS ROM

on gingerbread, i would always turn on all animations
but that wouldnt do anything since flashing a new rom wipes everything
What launcher are u using?
Howdy!
On ICSSGS 4.2 and Semaphore 9.0 the turning works fine for me. That is in apps that support it. The launcher for instance doesnt - the clock does.
You could try installing the ES Task Manager and check whether the turning is on there. Also you could check appropriate apps for your Kernel/Rom -- sometimes you can turn stuff on and off there, as well.

I'm on THS Experimental Build, but Build 16 should be the same.
1. You didn't mention this, but Settings > Launcher > General > Auto-Rotate Screen
This is using Trebuchet Launcher, but it should be similar on any other ICS Launcher, under the Settings "Interface" list.

Likely its because of the changes in windoworientationlistener.Java its been changed to absolute values so now you have rotation_angles instead of rotation_mode where sensor libs would return 2 3 4 5 depending on degrees 0 90 180 270 now it looks for actual degrees rotationinstead of numbered modes
try ics slim. Settings -ASS - General UI - set rotation delay. and ofcourse set on the rotation.

I have the exact same problem. I have tried everything I found on these forums and still no resolve. I use semaphore kernel 1.0.0 and ICS Slim rom on a samsung galaxy s phone. I can see the explination for our problem but what is the solution ? How can we correct those variables ? Thank you in advance !

I wish I had tried some games... all I can say for certain is that it works in the camera app and sensor test apps like GPS Status. So it seems like it comes down to the system UI not interpreting the sensor readings correctly.

I suggest you try it out with some games too.. coz if it's a rom issue, it can't be with every rom..
Even the games don't directly access the accelerometer.. Goes through the kernel which controls the hardware.. If it works in games, should work in the roms which have accelerometer working fine..
This annoyed me for a while... It worked fine on THS ROM with Trebuchet launcher. I switched to AOKP, and couldn't get it to work, tried a few others that all failed. After a couple of months, I'm back to CM9 on nightlies (with Semaphore 1.2.0) and rotation works perfectly, couldn't be happier.
Maybe try CM9?

Confirmed the accelerometer DOES work in games.
So it works in the camera and 3rd party apps like sensor tests and games. Does not work in any launcher, the stock browser, gallery, or other system apps.
Also tried the the latest Team Nyx release - not working there either. I've tried the latest CM9, ICS333, AOKP... it doesn't work in any of them.

[Q] Zeus 4.02b: Return backlight to lower buttons?

Hello. I'm sorry if this is 1. A stupid question, or 2. Obvious.
I recently installed Heuxxx's Zeus 4.02b on my Optimus Black. It is fantastic so far.
I was just wondering if there is a way to fix the backlight on the four lower phone buttons (the ones below the screen: settings, home, back, search). Since installing Zeus, they go dark during use. I'm not sure if this is a deliberate feature, or if I can change it so that they are backlit like before.
Many thanks.
Philip
You cant change it, it's a bug in LG GB ROMs so you have to live with it, until LG releases a patch for this
Ah, thank you very much! I was really confused, thinking I was missing an obvious setting
Try the app LG notification led or sth in the market, works for some...
