Hello guys, i have a serius issue with my Optimus 2x.
I wanted to disable the led buttons brightness so i found the "LG 2X/Black/3D Notifications" app to disable the led lights (i set up the brightness to 0), but what i realized was is that it drains a lot of battery, A LOT!!! (29%) after 4 days of usage.
So i wanna ask you if you know any mod that i could flash on my rom to disable the led buttons light....
(My rom is CyanogenMod-7 - NIGHLTIES)
Thanks in advance
I think the app your are using, other than being able to adjust led brightness, it also listens to notifications, which is actually its main feature. And this feature is what actually draining your battery.
Try this app called: touch key lights, this app is solely to adjust led brightness.
Cheers.
Wow great hope that will work, thanks man, cheers ;D

After installing the froyo rom, there are two things that still annoy me, and I don't know if I can change them:
1) I like the look of the Samsung keypad, but there doesn't appear to be a way to disable to "haptic feedback" vibration when keys are pressed. The haptic feedback in the settings will disable feedback for the soft keys as well (which I don't want to do). Is there a workaround?
2) It really bothers me that the browser has its own brightness setting, so that it gets out of sync with the system brightness setting. Is there any way to disable the browser-specific brightness setting?
Thanks!

we should really keep these issues in a consolidated thread.. otherwise this could get out of hand.. I know there are a few posts that already discusss some of these issues..
I was disappointed at the Samsung Keyboard in the froyo build too. more importantly I could not find a way to turn off the key click sound. With the lack of the stock android keyboard I installed AnySoftKeyboard from the market. Seems to fit the bill for me.
My browser has the brightness setting, but so did the eclair build. For me it still follows the global brightness setting, dimming according to ambient light. I haven't touched that setting in the browser, it has been this way by default.

Hi everyone !
LG 2X/Black Notifications is an app that handles incoming notifications and uses the LED buttons on the device to notify the user of any missed notifications. LG Optimus 2X (P990/P999/SU660), LG Optimus Black (P970) and LG Optimus 3D (P920) is supported. It does not require root if the required files has the proper permissions, if they do not root is required to change them (currently the latest update for T-Mobile G2x and LG Optimus 3D). It should be usable on all ROMs (not tested though). CyanogenMod7 has its own LED-notifications which has to be disabled if you wish to use this app.
Features
Built-in support for Gmail/SMS/MMS/Missed calls
Support for any activity that generates notifications by using Accessibility
Configurable pulse and vibration for every notification
Set the default touch LED brightness
Charging indicator
How the app works
The app is in an idle state and will do nothing until the device receives a notification.
When an notification is received and the screen is on and not in lock-screen, the accelerometer sensors will be started and used as a way to detect user activity. If the sensor is triggered the feedback will be cancelled. If the sensor is not triggered and the screen is turned off the feedback will start.
If the screen is off the feedback will be delayed for 2 seconds. The reason for this is because some notifications might turn on the screen and in turn will cancel the feedback, so the delay will hopefully prevent this. If nothing happens during the delay the feedback starts at once.
The feedback will repeat until it is timed out or the screen is turned on.
If you have any questions and/or bugs to report about the app don't hesitate to post a reply to this thread or send me a message and I'll answer them as soon as possible. I'm also open for suggestions of features to implement. However due to limited time at the moment new features may take a while to be implemented.
Download
For more information and free download check it out on the Android Market.

It's at the bottom of the first post, I've clarified it a bit now.
Thanks!! I've been using this since beta 0.3
Just a request...
Can accelerometer be disabled ? Cos i may be picking up the phone but not looking at the screen at all.
And, can the App icon be reverted to have transparent background (like in the early betas)
Cheers

An option to disable accelerometer could be added, but then you would get the pulse for every incoming notification even if you've looked at them (if you were using the phone when you got them). The accelerometer is disabled when the screen is off or in the lock-screen (if you use another lock-screen than the default this might not be true though) so that if you receive a notification and then move your phone around without unlocking it the pulse should still start. So generally the accelerometer shouldn't be a problem, but if you really want an option for it I could add one
I changed the appearance of the icon since it couldn't be seen on Market because it has a white background. I also preferred the old look But it might be possible to fix it somehow, I'll note it down and look at it when I have time.
Nice app man... has solved all problems with notifications led
Thanks
managed to work, would prefer a led like i had in my X10 =/, but its great
So far works great. Thanks for the share mate! I'll try it for a couple more days and I'll be sure to leave you a comment in the market.
Nice App!
Keep going!
thanks for the effort man!
hi
really nice app
After the most recently update of Handcent SMS it's possible to choose Handcent as the default messaging application, and by then disable the stock messaging application. But when you do so, LG 2X/Black Notifications doesn't work when you receive a message. Do you think you can fix this in a future update?
This app can "listen to" other application's notifications. Did you try to enable the "monitoring" for Handcent ? (notification > select monitored activities)
Great work!

Yes, it can..
It just much more better from it's beta version..
Now i can have notification on my Whatsapp chat while ringtone is turned off..
Hi,
first of all i would like to say a big thanks to the developer xigzil of this great app, it always worked reliably on my LG P990.
Now i have changed my device to Samsung Galaxy S2 and wanted to ask xigzil if is possible to make this app work with?
I would really appreciate it and with a high probability of many other too.
Thanks in advance.

For the charging monitoring can you make it so that as the charge gets closer to 100% more of the LEDs are on.
For example 0-30% the menu LED is on 31-60% Menu and Home LED on. 61-90% Menu Home and Back LED are on. And 91-100% all 4 LEDs on. Somthing like that.
OR even if they could even pulse kinda like the battery icon at the top of the screen does where it will fill in blocks (if that makes sense)
Suggestion
Hi,
I love this application. But I have a suggestion. I have Go SMS Pro and the screen turns on when I receive a message. After the screen turns on, the notifications stop, even if I turn the screen off!
Could you add an option to make the notification works until there aren't any notification left?
An example, I'm at work and I receive a message, I turn the screen on to see who send me a message, but I don't read it. It stays unread (the notification in the top bar stays there). And then I turn off the screen to see the message when I have the time. But the notification stops. I what the notification never stops until I read the message. I don't mind if the notification is working even if I using the phone.
Thanks
I have recently and the first time flashed CM7 (nightly #183) and most things work really well. except I can see the backlights for the buttons are on always, very dim but on, hence a short battery life.
I have since flashed #185 and no difference I can see.
Anyone?
Cheers
That's the backlight notifications, the dimmed setting is actually the most battery friendly.
Go into Menu,Settings, Cyanogenmod settings, Interface, LED notifications. Look under "Unconfigured for the app you want to disable the backlight led notification on and click on it. Click on LED Mode and select "Force LED off" and select save. (You should notice that a Miscellaneous tab appears under the "Unconfigured" tab. Once you configure an app it'll move from the unconfigured tab to the Miscellaneous tab)
Great thanks, that worked a treat
Thanks both

when i updates CM9 4.0.4 BCM for my Nexus One, the capacitive buttons (as back, menu, home, search) not light up when I am in a dim room. I can force them on my covering the brightness sensor. My Inspire would light up whenever I hit a button. Is there maybe a setting I am missing to turn the feature on?
Do you help me?!
Thanks.
You can tweak brightness levels on CM9. This includes the button lights being on /off - value of 255=on, any other value = off.
Think it's Display >. Automatic back light > Use custom > Edit other levels.
You will then see a table of values with a Button column on the right hand side. Set this to 255 or 0 as needed.
Of course you need to have Automatic Brightness switched on in the first instance for this to work.

i work it with your guide. but it not ligh.
Do you give me specific instructions?
i'm ok!
thank you very much!
No problem.
You can also use the app Screen Filter. With this app you can dim your screen to different levels. However it also has an option to set the button lights on/off, so you could also use that without requiring Automatic Brightness.
So you could create a Screen Filter Widget at say 96% brightness and button light on, and another similar one with button light off. Try it out anyhow.
Hope that makes sense, and good luck

Posting many messages in different threads within few minutes to get your number to 10 messages threshold is not a good thing to do. If you need help just post your question and wait for someone to help you.

i' sorry! . but i want to join Development thread, give my opinion or to make comments in thread.
Hi All,
I have noticed when playing games the touch key light glows all the time hence it might also be uselessly contributing towards more battery use and processor heating.
If there is any app which can toggle key light on/off or anyway other way to dim its light then may be battery backup can improves a bit
I have noticed there is an app in play store for Optimus 2X but that doesnt work for my 4X P880.
You can disable it under settings > screensettings
