[Q] Soft keys LED Light ... - LG Optimus Black

Hello, and please, if there is another thread about this problem that i didn't fine, excuse me!
my question is simple:
is there any ROM (2.3.x - gingerbread) in that the led of soft keys is working well and it does not shut down after a few seconds? if yes...please tell me wich one.
as i can remember, in Froyo the light from the 4 soft keys stayed on all time the screen was unlocked ... correct?
i would really like that someone give me a sulution. i have seen a MIUI video in wich, unfortunately the lights are killed as well after a few secs....
thanks in advance.

I prefer not to, if you want better battery life.
You can ask the developers in this thread about the leds.

@Zakys
Thats Bogus. These LEDs (more like SMDs) need close to nothing. Maybe your Phone will last 1 minute longer with the lights out.
@dookoo
its a Bug. LG already acknowlegded it in the german support forum. They are working on a fix to get them working again (like under 2.2). Knowing LG that can take quite some time.

But the latest LG phones does the same. Perhaps it's not a bug. Anyway, what's bogus??

there is core modification solving this problem

@juqe
Care to share your knowledge?
@ Zakyz
Then all the other Phones are defect . I contacted the LG support myself and they said it is a Bug to be solved.
Try to google Bogus. Its english.

Camera lag, Is there a fix?

Hello,
I own a MDA Vario III, And when I preview what I want to put on a photo, it really lags(like 3 fps). Is there something what would fix it? I have been searching whole internet and found a topic about some rumored Graphic's driver. and a update from HTC, But couldn't find it. Sorry if I didn't saw something. Please give me a link to it.
BTW: sometimes it doesn't lag, and sometimes it does :S
I really apreciate this =]
-Armazia
Hey Armazia, the camera lags only when under low light conditions, the FPS is very bad at this point cos of the lighting conditions, however under better conditions the FPS dramatically increases because of better lighting conditions. There isnt a permanent fix to this because the actual camera component is causing it, drivers and things wnt work, htc jus put a crappy camera in, you cant really do much about that. Saying that i know of atleast one way to get better FPS while under low light.
1. On the phone activate the camera
2. Now on the phone activate the camera
3. Cover the lens with ure hands.
4.while keeping the lens covered put the phone into sleep mode(by pressing the power button on the top right handside of the phone.
5. Make sure you dont have S2U2 slider thingy intalled and running.
6. Now press the power button again to wake the phone up making sure you are still covering the lens with your palm.
7. Now remove your palm, there should be better FPS, you might have to do it until you can actually get it to work, you have to this a few times to get used to it.
Hope That Help!
Sorry double posted

I knew that fix yes, But when I press power button while in camera, and then power on. The camera closes and im on the today screen again. viewing memory doesn't show camera. So my phone closes the program after power off.
Hmm thats weird, there must be a setting somewhere on the phone which can disable that. I use that mothod on my HTC TyTN II and it works most of the time, what rom are you running?
Im running rom version 1.56.144.4. Should I update? I dont really want to, because I dont wanna screw up my phone
Ive had my kaiser for a few weeks now and i knew abt this site before from my old phone(HTC TyTN), so ive used and flashed quite a few roms now and it hasnt had any negative effects on the phone from the custom roms, as long as u read the guides in the stickies everything should be fine. so yeah in my opinion id upgrade it. but its up2 u nyways.

Darchdroidv2.7 - Light sensor and Market update Notification issues

So I have had this light sensor issue since .6.4 release and since until 2.7 there was always something broke with the ROM, I decided to stick with .3 which was stable with light sensors and still had couple of quirks which I really didn't care much about (mms, video ...) as long as light and GPS were perfect!
Now, the issue with the light sensor. You will know if the light sensors are working properly during the installation; once you flash the ROM and reboot the phone, right at the end of (blue) animation the bottom lights light up and the charging light turn red/green, if it is connected to charger. And it does this every time I install 2.6.3 but not since then! ( I can now install 2.6.3 on top of 2.7 and light sensors still works like a charm!)
So what really bothers me with the light sensor? Is it really that important? Well, the way my phone light sensor works is, it turns on only when its dark around and never times out as it should! It never turns on in the day light, you couldn't activate it even by pressing any the buttons at the bottom! The issue is two fold:
1. Light stays on all the time during the night when I am using the phone and drains battery faster
2. Though I really don't care much for not lighting up in the day/bright light, it annoys me that this most loved ROM isn't how it needs to be!
While I am still talking about lights, I think I should mention track ball notifications as well. Even though I have my track ball notifications are turned on, I am yet to see them working! It was randomly mentioned in some thread that it doesn't work! But I miss the point that why put it in the settings if it doesn't work?
I also have issues with Market update notifications, I have used other HTC based custom ROMs in the past and had no issues with notifications but with this I almost never got any!
So far I have tried many trial and error methods to see if it fixes:
- I have flashed ROM repeatedly few times, just to see if it fixes
- I have done complete wipe around 3 times and re-installed
- Rebooted phone several times in addition to above procedures
- In the half way somewhere I realized that I wasn't running Darch's recovery so now I have that too and tried the above procedures
When I was on .4 for a while and having the same issue with lights, some one recommended to take .so files from the other working ROM and patch it to the existing one and it never really worked for me.
With all this, I am not claiming that these issues exists with this ROM in general, it could be me! I could be doing something wrong! That's why I have tried to explain in detail what I have done and what is not working.
What am I looking for? - Help!! If anyone have came across these issues and able to successfully solve and make their phones work or if you have any idea about how to go about these issues, I would like to hear from you guys!!
Darchy, I love your work and this ROM ( that's why I am trying to figure out solution to these issues ) but at times you are very quick at dismissing people, yes some can be ignorant but we are not living in the perfect world!
Thanks in advance for everyone and thanks Darchy for this excellent ROM (it almost killed my desire to switch to some crappy carriers with huge bills to get Nexus One!)
i believe, as far as lights goes, thats just how the ROM is built. not just this one but all ROMs. near the earpiece is the light sensor. if its bright out, theres no point in having the bottom lights come on, youll be able to see the buttons. when its dark, the bottom lights will come on. its basically a battery save kind of thing. no point in having something on, if you really dont need to use it. as far as market notifications, i havent recieved any updates as far as apps goes so i cant tell wether or not they work.

Well, it works but not the way it needs to be! It doesn't work at all in the bright light or day light but in the dark or in the low lit area it keeps on as long as the screen is on! It never times out if it is dark.

so you are saying the light sensor is working because the keys and trackball are lit up in the dark? pretty sure that is the point of the sensor yea? also find a hero rom with working trackball notifications, it has never worked. as far as the market notifications i have gotten 3 or 4 update notifications.
not trying to be a ****, ive had my fair share of issues but after about 4 wipes and reinstalls everything is working great.

which was what i was trying to say. if your in the dark, of course the bottom lights are gonna be on, and stay on. i dont think ive ever used a ROM where the bottom lights have time out while in the dark.

Glad I just saw this message before going to bed! I am downloading now..... will update in here soon done flashing..... thank you!
Ok...... lights are working perfect!!! Thanks alot!
I assume this is still incomplete ROM and you need to do lots of tweaks? Just couple of things!
- I don't see 3D gallery anymore and can't sync with Picasa!! I have lots of pics on Picasa!
- Linpack is averaging inbetween 2 and 3 MFLOPs and it used to average around 4.7!
That's all I could catch for now! I am sure it will get better, will use GPS in the morning and let you know if it has any issues!
Thanks again for all your work! Good night!

oh, lol, i removed jit completely, i replaced 3d gallery with the 2d one as its way more stable imo. If u want jit in this i could add it back in for ur benchmarks, but imo thats all its good for until froyo.
so essentially, u are currently running the most bleeding edge version of darchdroid. lol
I feel honored darchy! LOL so with 2d gallery I can't integrate Picasa? I never had any issues with 3d gallery!
I would be glad to test it or run this version if you can add jit and 3d gallery! LOL let me know! I'm kinda addicted to both of those along with your ROM. You do great job!

[MOD] Use Button's Backlight as Notification

Hey!
If you guys really really want the MOD, let's do something about it. AND I NEED ALL SUPPORT FROM EVERYONE.
Read Carefully.
I'm not sure if you've heard of PSX emulator or not. The author, zodttd, has started the project because he saw
there was a petition ( Here ) to have me bring PSX, N64, and the VLC media player to the Android platform. With over 1800 signatures I started work on PSX a few days ago.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So what I am thinking is, we should do the same thing too!
I have begun a petition. Now all I need is you guys to sign it. It's a really simple process.
Once we have enough signatures, we can show it to mods from other communities.
Petition
Thanks,
Clay
have you sent any emails to app developers or anything like that before you post a petition? I think you may be jumping the ball a little bit here... go ask a few developers first.. Im pretty sure someone might have the time (or knowledge to help you learn how to implement your idea...
doesnt seem like it should be that hard to link the led notification and a button backlight... they have done it with trackballs...
As soon as I get my vibrant I shall start work on this.. Someone will probably get it working before me but I shall give it a shot..
Petition is a nice idea, but no need for it. Im pretty sure once the vibrant (galaxy s) gains more popularity, the programs an mods will start to come.
wow making the button backlight as notifications is actually a really good idea.

This would be fantastic. Good idea.
can't wait to see progress.. also, is there a charging light? if not can there be a mod to have one of the buttons (i rather see the search icon as a charging LED)
Thinking about getting a Vibrant, and this mod would make the purchase that much easier.
All for it!!!
Make it happen
Im still on the fence if i should buy this phone because im so used to my g1's hardware keyboard and the lack of an led notification is kind of turning me away from this awesome beast. i spent maybe half an hour playing with one today at t-mobile...if this gets done maybe ill get a vibrant and overcome my attachment to hardware keyboards lol.
a cool idea would be to have someone make the backlight for the buttons light up sequentially left to right!

Agreed. This thing is amazing. Came from a G1 and the lack of hw keyboard isn't a big deal for me (and I used the hw kb constantly!). No led notification is odd, but if we can do this button backlight mod....
What about AMOLED?
I don't get it-
Why are we looking for workarounds like lighting the menu buttons when there's a Super AMOLED screen to play with? Since there's no backlight to lose precious mWh's from the battery every time you want to show a light pixel, shouldn't a simple white text/pattern/indicator drawn on the screen with the rest of it black/off work as needed? Make it flash, make it off most of the time like a normal indicator, make sure that notification is bright, perhaps make it customizable, and bingo!
It might even be more efficient than some silly LED somewhere...

and whoever mentioned the screen idea, its deff not bad either imo but idk how thatd compare to the backlight idea battery-wise...i mean maybe youre right it might take less battery to flash the screen rather than the menu buttons

that doesn't sound bad at all, something like the battery icon that the screen shows when the phone is powered off but is charging. have a notification icon show on the screen and have it blink at certain values
yes sir. i'm all for it as well!
That sounds like a great idea. And different buttons could be set for different notifications. Like say the Menu button could light up if you have a new text, the Home button if you have a new E-mail, and so on.
I used to do a lot of Java coding, but am pretty rusty. Tomorrow I'm going to start looking into implementing any of the ideas mentioned here. Already installed the android sdk, just need to learn how to write android applications

[Q] How to fix the softkey not light problem? V20n

I wont moderate this thread, but since some where already messing up other topics, I thought it would be smarter to open a thread for this problem.
Here is what it's all about:
The softkeys in V20n stop being light after about 5 seconds. If you use them again, they stay light for about 5 seconds again, and so on.
But since in the dark, they are hard to locate, some ppl here feel disturbed by this problem very much.
This build.prop tweak didn't fix the problem, as I was told.
Code:
# Force button lights on when screen is on
ro.mot.buttonlight.timeout=0
Maybe any dev here has an idea, of how to fix it.

Well if so, they have a bug inside of the Tweaks that can be applied to stock rom thread...
But anyway, anyone who got a solution already?
Here is an explanation of the Build.prop tweaks but it's in German.
Not everyone can read (understand) it.
It's just a bug in the Firmware and i don't think we can fix it that way.
As i wrote in another Thread this is a Bug in the V20N firmware and the LG support acknowlegded the Bug in the German LG support forum.
I doesnt mean that the Bug will be fixed soon coming from LG but at least it will be fixed (maybe---sometimes---in the future---on the Enterprise---opps, too far )
Here is the Link to the German forum where you can read that I, pythoner, started the fight, won some people over, and slayed the incompetent LG Support (without taking an Arrow to the Knee). Im sorry to write that they're Incompetent, but read it for yourself, they really are (sry, only in German)
Lg-Supportforum
EDIT: Support Ullrich on the second page makes the most disturbing/Incompetent comment. Something like "Its not a Bug, its a feature, live with it"

nokia told me, that i should get a 3. party app for that, but the thing is, there is no led programs that works, seems that the led lamp is gone totally, and the glance , hmm what to say, its so darn small , in my point of view, useless
the most annoying thing is,
the bluetooth part, when seaching for other devices, it only shows mac addresses. not names og nearby devices
If the phone gets unlocked and the kernel source code released, it should be relatively easy to make the capacitive buttons work as notification leds.

nokia told me, that i should get a 3. party app for that, but the thing is, there is no led programs that works, seems that the led lamp is gone totally, and the glance , hmm what to say, its so darn small , in my point of view, useless

I think that the LED is not built in, so, it's a strange suggestion

I emailed HMD asking if the Nokia 8 would have different models like the Nokia 6, and if one of them included a notification LED. This was the response I received.

That's so sad maybe write to them suggesting to implement a workaround via the capacitive buttons. This is such small feature yet so powerful for someone like me, this is the only real glace screen I need! lol
I have tweeted them if you guys want to join in and try and get some support to make them think about it at least

True but we need to try especially since they are releasing them in China and India.. lot of potential future / current customers to get onboard requesting the same. Huge market out there.
A possible workaround
You can use the flash LED on the back as a notification LED:

I don't own the phone, nor am I developing this. Was just a statement that it shouldn't be too hard as I've seen it done on other phones.

I've read somewhere that it should be possible with a Xposed module, but I haven't seen someone who managed to get that to work on Pie
