Database Develop

Alternative to the missing notification led

I was wondering if a clever dev could use the botom lights from the buttons as an alternative to a dedicated led. Since the led is only usefull with the screen locked & off, the botom button lights could serve the same purpose. The buttons themselves would not be working, only the lights.
Could this idea work?

You may try to use noLED application

Good idea, but no-one has program for it yet.

That's a kernel thing. It needs a kernel with bln (back light notification) support.

But it could be done... you're not saying no way
From what i understand this is a tricky one to develop. I will have to be patient :what:

I have used noLED but deleted it because. I don't like it.
Anyhow the idea that author suggests sounds great and very logic. I saw few apps that can turn off buttons backlight. So it can enabled via app

You should check the ButtonLed thread. Its an app that is based on the Tasker app and it's made for phones that don't have led lights but have soft led buttons. But it doesn't work with our devices, because of the kernel security / limitations. I have contacted the developer of the app and he said that our device is similar to some s2 models, where the button leds can't be on while the screen is off.
So as I said before, we need new kernel with bln option.

Can the back and home button light up?

Any way to do that? Really bothers me lol

i downloaded this app, its called capacitive buttons, you have to be rooted btw, and it changes the lights intensities three different levels i find that this works well

There are light sensors attached to the buttons. They should light up in the dark

Yeah just got it last night but when playing with it I noticed the lights we not turning on lol, I'm still used to the og evo. But I'll check out that app, thanks

I pulled apart the framework-res.apk and adjusted the buttons to trigger at higher lighting. I also pushed down the overall autobrightness levels, they felt too high to me.

(UPDATE ) the buttons do light up at night, realized it while laying in bed last night lol.

Backlight

Is there a way to make my backlight more dimmer? Because when i used my phone at night, even if i put my backlight level to zero, it still flashy. Im using Froyobread v023b. Thnx.

Do you mean it's still bright?
I think it's the nature of X8, I played with my X8 lot times in night and
I down the brightness completely but its still tearing my eyes!
Wear a glass next time!

You can use screen dimmer app or change minimum value in auto brightness settings in screen dim level.

Sounds dumb but hold it under a bright light and hold power and volume down... Might be volume up but try both. No joke, I promise.

Holding the power resets the phone u just have to hold it for a while

Vibration stopped working

When I press on the back button, or when I long-click on the home button, my phone doesn't vibrate anymore. I have vibration enabled in settings. Is anyone else having this issue?

Does it still vibrate when you receive a call or a text message?

Was your battery low? This phone automatically does power saving mode after 20% I believe.

My battery wasn't low. My phone vibrates when called. This is very strange. Any other solutions?

Are you sure that hectic feedback is still checked in settings-device-sound under screen lock sound
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Yes, it was always checked. Something funny just happened. I was browsing through settings - not the sound settings - and suddenly noticed the vibration is back.

You seem to be having a huge number of problems. I haven't seen anyone else post this many problems. Maybe starting over from an original unrooted mi9 might correct all of your problems. Not trying to offend. Just making an observation. Good luck.

After charging your phone doesn't automatically turn off Power Saving mode. Pull down the drawer and make sure it isn't checked.

Lost vibration again. This is very frustrating. Does anyone know what's going on?

I noticed that my power saving mode was on, which disabled the vibration. I disabled the power saving mode and the vibration is back.

You guys find the solution ! That is right, just a setting problem - power saving mode should be disabled. Then, my phone vibrating function is normal, thanks!:good:
