Works great except just noticed that in the Kindle app while reading at night the back light on the menu buttons don't go out anymore. They used to and it is really bothering me when reading in yhe dark.
Any way to fix this?
My tab isn't rooted.

Backlight notification app from the market.
This sorted it out for me.

I installed something called backlight switch, but it doesn't seem to do anything when I turn it On or Off.
EDIT: Oh so that needed root...
Found this Widget called Button Backlight but that does not seem to work either. It puts a tiny faint icon on my desktop that doesn't work.
Everything seems to need root access.

I've been messing with my Captivate a lot for the past few weeks, rooted and flashed once I got sick of waiting for an update. I've tried most of the major roms out there and am having a great time learning about it all.
I have a problem and would appreciate some advice on the simplest way to solve it. Whenever I try to enter the image gallery, I get a black screen for a few seconds, then it vibrates a few times and kicks back to the home screen and gives me a failure notification. It does this regardless of what rom I'm running so I'm assuming it has something to do with the file structure on the card? If I data reset, will this fix it?
I looked around but didn't see an apparent answer for this specific issue. Thanks
Try this, download sgs tools from market. Goto uodate stock apps select gallery

Hmmm, I downloaded it and it doesn't seem to do that much. I don't see any options like that for sure. What is that program supposed to do?
After I posted I realized the app I referenced is not on the market.
Have you tried deleting app data
settings, applications, manage, all, gallery, delete data

wow, thanks! That did it. I just upgraded the stock app and it's fine now. This app looks really useful, what are some of its other uses?
Secret codes gets you into a bunch of useful things
like lbs test mode for gps
the updated gallery you installed is also supposed to help battery somehow.
I do not use it all too much though, but I keep it around

You might want to get the Home Switcher app from the market (free). It will let you switch between launchers, and might be able to tell you what is going on with the home button.

Might be the kernel, I went from miui 1.5.27 to 1.6.3 and the orientation was all whack. I flashed a new kernel and it was all well afterwards, had the same problem when updating cm7 once

I might be the only one that thinks the button is worthless, but if anyone would like to remap it to the camera let me know and I'll write up the instructions on how to change it.
This will disable the option to switch between 2D and 3D when looking at pictures or in the middle of games but if your like me I dont have time to play games or mess with 3D pictures, and yes that makes the phone no different that any of the others but I just like the phone it's self.
steps
1. Download Root Explorer
2. Navigate to /system/usr/keylayout
3. Top of app select mount R/W
4. long click on omap-keypad.kl till menu pops up
5. select open in text editor
6. scroll all the way to the bottom to key 249
7. Edit 3D_HOT_KEY to CAMERA
8. Back out of text editor and select mount R/O in top of app
9. Back out of Root Explorer
10.Reboot
This will now map the 3D button to open the camera insted of something you may never use.
Go back to stock.
1. Navigate back to /system/usr/keylayout
2. Mount R/W
3. Only do this if you have the omap-keypad.kl.bak this is a backup of the original file
4. Delete the modified omap-keypad.kl
5. Rename omap-keypad.kl.bak to omap-keypad.kl
6. Back out and restart.
There you go.

Im interested!
Cool, I may do this, I didn't know it actually turned 3d on / off while in a 3D picture or in the camera.
I hate it when I accidentally hit it.
Might be a dumb question but it just disables the ability to suddenly turn on the 3D in the middle of something but doesn't actually disable the 3D capabilities? If so, I'm very interested.
The remap works. How ever when I changed it back to 3D_HOT_KEY the 3D key does nothing.

silly question, but did you reboot
Yup.

Instead of making it open the camera could it be programmed to act as a shutter button for the camera to take pictures?
No it doesn't disable 3D just changes what the button does.

It makes my four bottom buttons light up as if it's registering that something is supposed to happen. But nothing happens. Strange. I looked back and the text still says CAMERA.
I don't know if this makes a difference or not but under the qwerty.kl it says 3D_HOT_KEY is still at key 249. The ompa-keypad.kl and the omap-keyboard.kl.bak show key 249 as a camera.
When I set it to camera it worked, It took a second to launch after reboot. But what's strange is when I set it back and rebooted. I get nothing. Just the navigation keyslight up but no 3D app. I don't wanna reset my device just to get the button working again with the 3D.

Just download the file that stealth put up And replace the modified file, reboot and your back to stock.

My phone is rooted and I took the liberty of uninstalling some of my stock apps. One of which was the stock music app. I have no need for it since I use Poweramp. However, to my surprise, I found that it leaves the controls in the notification drop-down when it is not installed (as shown in my screenshot).
Since I didn't back up the app, I have no way or reinstalling it. Does anyone know where I can download the app or if it is possible to remove the controls without reinstalling the app?
As of now you have to have it insralled to get them to go away,

Just put this in system/app and reboot.

Thanks! I didn't even have to reboot. As soon as I put it in /system/apps, the controls went away.

I had tried to make my Keyguard go off when I'm at my home wifi, and it simply doesn't work. I'm using tasker and I'm using the same profile as I did on my SGS2 and that was perfect but the HTC One is a bit more trouble some with this setting. If anyone has done this and got it to work successfully please include it. Much appreciated to sharing your time.

I am having the same problem with tasker, I am gonna try older version of tasker!!
I just started using Tasker... and it really works funkily. I have used Tasker itself and Secure Settings, both, to disable the keyguard when I am connected to my WIFi... And sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes while I am using the phone and hit the Android Home button, it actually goes to the Pattern input lock screen.
I am using CM10 with Action Launcher on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus 16gb GSM
