The automatic backlight settings in Cyanogen Mod are a really handy tool. However, since I'm a flashaholic, and tend to do clean flashes for every nightly that generated, it becomes quite exhausting to reenter my +25 custom backlight levels every time.
So, basically, what I'm asking is, whether there's a file in which these settings are stored. I'd like to back it up for future use.

I'm coming from the cdma hero running cm6, and darch and the cm team modified the power management widget so you can toggle data on and off. Not that it's a huge deal, but I'm not a fan of having to go into settings every time to enable/disable my data. Any help? Thoughts? Cm6 would destroy on this phone.

Certainly. Go to Settings -> Cyanogen Mod Settings -> User Interface -> Widget Buttons, and then tick "Toggle Mobiledata".
EDIT: I just reread your post - this doesn't change the widget, but does change the power control in the notification dropdown. So kind of a solution?
Let me rephrase, I WAS running cm on my hero, but now I have the optimus s. I want to be able to turn off evdo/3g from the power control widget. Phone is root but still on stock rom. No other way except going into Settings/wireless and networks/ mobile networks/ and then toggle 3g on/off from there. Should see if darch and the guys could do cm6 for the optimus.

Oh, I apologise for my misread. To the best of my knowledge, toggling mobiledata via a widget isn't possible without a modification made to the ROM that most stock roms wouldn't have.
I'm not 100% sure on this though sorry.
I believe you are correct sir. It's too bad they don't put it in. hopefully they include it in gingerbread. Need some cyanogen mod love for this phone.

To make a short story long, I enabled the "Stay Awake" option when I did the KB1 update. After I was done doing everything I wanted to disable the option, however when I went to /applications/development the option is no longer there. So, now I am stuck with the option "on" and I would like to have the option back in the settings menu so that I can disable it.
I have pulled up the settings.apk and I can see that in the "development_perfs.xml" that there is the entry for the option.
Any ideas on how I can get this option back?
There are a few widgets in the market that toggle the 'stay awake' setting... see if one of them will work.

I have seen that there are a couple of apps out there that will do the same thing. I even had seen that there was a settings.apk for the vibrant that had the option in there. I would consider these methods as a last resort.
I'm looking to get the option back in the settings menu, so that I can toggle it from there.
Fix?
You could root and use sqlite to change the database, it is risky except that would disable the setting, just go to settings storage in sqlite and change the value from 1 to 0 that should disable it
I went and checked the /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db and found that the stay_on_while_plugged_in value was set to 0. So I rebooted the phone and things seem to be better with it now.
However it would be nice to be able to toggle the option from the settings UI.
Can any one point me in the right direction to get that done?
Check the 6 lockscreen mod thread. I saw the op there saying he had reenabled the setting I believe.

I use the highly customizable "Widgetsoid" widget for toggles for:
Mobile AP
USB Mount
Screen always on
Screen on while charging
Screen brightness (4 level)
(all items buried pretty deep in the menus).
Pretty much anything else is accessible to the Widgetsoid widget, too.

Theres a line in the smali files that you comment out to get it back.

I'm running AOKP Build 39 and trying to go full ICS with the NAV bar. I've figured out how to completely disable the capacitive soft keys from working, however they still light up when touched. What do I need to do to disable the soft key light? I figured there'd be an option in ROM control or Display but I could not find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

You might try an app called Keep The Lights On. Don't let the name fool you. It also let's you keep the lights off.

I downloaded that, but it doesn't seem to do anything. It's just a widget? There's no settings to keep them off or anything, maybe I have the wrong app.. Can you post a link?
It is a simple widget. Works like a light switch.
Also, in ROM control, do you see an option for LED settings under functionality?
Edit
Well, it seems ktlo doesn't work on aokp. Sorry.
I appreciate your trying to help. I couldn't get ktlo to work and yeah, no option in AOKP that I'm aware of. Been doing a lot of research and apparently its really hard to do on the Captivate...
Although the setting in "Settings>Device options>Touchkeys>Backlight Timeout" definitely edits the duration they stay lit.. if only I could figure out where that actual number is located, I could edit it to be zero seconds which would keep them off? Any idea where that info is pulled from?
No idea myself. But,i was thinking about the same thing.
I tried pulling the aires apk from version 38 bit i don't know what to edit

In Sixstring's AOKP for Captivate thread he acknowledged that this is something that they planned on implementing but got distracted. He also said to look forward to it being in future builds at some point. I consider that a WIN heh.

Does anybody know of a way to completely disable the soft key lights on i9000? I had mad a script to disable them on my old phone, but i cant seem to find a way to disable them now. I am using CM9. Anybody know if this can be done?
Why you want do that ???
Well I'm on slim and in ns tools settings you can change the led timeout, and it indeed goes down to zero, so theoretically, yes

Won't work, if you set it to 0, they stay on forever - don't ask me why... But you can set them to 30ms, which is nearly 0
Why would I want that? Cause when its dark they are very distracting and I know where they are I don't need them to light up. And I tried n's tools before but they still come on for a millisecond and that's almost more annoying hahah

The only solution to fix your problem is to make a build.prop who will exclude the soft keys lights but it's a risky business. So if your really want to do that ask to an expert otherwise drop it.

Thanks for the idea but that setting is for backlight notification settings. Un ticking it just stops the backlight notification

The minimum is 1ms. But none of the apps support 1ms selection, you will have to either
A. create an init.d script that makes timeout = 1 (you can base this on nstools setting).
B. you can edit the nstools' or midnight control's (whatever tool you are using to set led timeout) config file (look in /data/data) to 1.
I also want soft keys off permanently, but no-one has released a patch for it yet afaik. And since I moved back to gingerbread I can't even get less than 250ms (and only with midnight kernel) >_<
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
