I have a rom that allows the nexus soft keys, how do I disable the regular built in keys, where they don't light up ans you can't you use them? Is it possible?

What ROM are you using? If you have a CM7 based ROM you can probably use symbi0sis kernel which allows you to use the GuesteOC app where you can turn down the brightness of the leds to 0. It wont disable the keys but they will be "invisible".

Hey guys,
It seems that the screen backlight and the buttons backlight (return and menu buttons) run separately and dont have to be on at the same time.
Would it not be possible to make an app that utilizes the button backlight as notification? Just like the nokia 5800 which blinks/breathes as notification.

Is there a possibility of disabling the feature of lowering the volume of a RINGER for incoming calls using volume control button?
On a Samsung S3 mini.
It is relatively easy in a noisy/distracting environment to accidentally press volume control button. This could lower the ringer volume for all incoming calls. I have already missed a couple... Important ones.
I don't think there is such option.
I think i can make you an app which can disable volume buttons. In that case you will need to adjust the volume manually in settings

Update: Its not possible to make the service.
I was able to disable them in app but when user is outside of the app they are enabled again.
I can't make a background service since it doesn't support hardware keys because it doesn't have any UI.
I will try to experiment with a widget, but can't promise anything.

Hai guys nothing new here,i thought of sharing an app i found in the play store.. my mini's power button is almost dead, and i couldn't either turn on or turn off the screen using the power key. Then i found this incredible app called "Proximity Screen Off"
What it does?
-> It turn on/off screen with gestures :good:
How it works?
-> it make use of the proximity sensor. There are lot of gestures to select from,swipe once,swipe and hold and so on.
Both Lite and Pro versions are available in the market,give it a try :good:
Note:It drains battery very quickly but with right settings it doesn't drain you battery
Link to the lite version:

its better if u use an app like power toggle or screen-off..they use accessibility permissions and 100% better than sensor based apps since they dont drain battery by taking any sort of wakelock..
just saying

But is it possible to wake up the screen by using power toggle/screen off? My mini is 2 and half years old,and almost all the buttons are dead by now.so i cant wake up the device by pressing the home key. Thats one of the reason i am using this app. Can you suggest me any other app which can wake up the device without using any buttons?

Where Can I find the Settings for the Lamps of the Back - Home - Option button ? To change the Bright Duration or switch them off ?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
I think there are no settings from CM itself but various other options like apps or customisation through build.prop or other system files.
Just search for button backlight on XDA

Update to a recent nightly. It has these settings built in.

on my previous phone with cm7 i could draw patterns on the lock screen to launch apps/activities.
the only one i had was toggle flashlight.
is there anything similar that can be done with 4.4.3?
if not, any good rom to have that?
thanks

The Xposed module GravityBox allows you to have a quick flashlight shortcut. Once configured correctly, on your lockscreen you can hold down the slide to unlock ring to turn the flashlight on and off.
thanks. i still have to give xposed a try!
this will probably be the tipping point.
edit: after installing everything with flashlight on the name and without internet permission from the market, i finally found this:
https://github.com/theUltimateLabs/theUltimateFlashlight
it allows me to turn it on by pressing power button twice! xposed delayed some more
it's gpl. will recommend to fdroid.

I use "xposed torch" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.torch
and have it set for volume up= volume down=off, I like it because I don't have to turn on the screen to use it or open the flip case I use.
As you guys are talking about flashlight have you guys noticed that the app "Adjustable Torch" doesn't work with Moto X? It was the only torch app I used to use, but it doesn't support Moto X It was the only app which used the flash LED's intensity at it's highest (all other apps use a dim state of LED) and you could even control it! Damn.

i personally only use the dimmest option. some apps have bright mode, always ignored it. dim is already too much

I use touchless control. I say OK Google now, open torch. Torch is a free app that can be set to turn on the light when app is opened.
