Is there a way to keep the back and home buttons illuminated?
I've noticed sometimes in the dark they are lit up, but not always.
It would be nice not to have to grope around to find them.
HTC One AT&T stock.
I have been searching for a way to get this as well and have had no luck. I did come across an app with controls for changing the brightness of the back and home button lights so I figure it should be too hard for someone to make.
If anyone would like to do so, it would be greatly appreciated.
I've actually been asking around for this as well! I assume it would be a simple build.prop modification, but i'm no good in the build.prop and would probably mess somthing up if i tried it on my own. Would need someone to tell me what exactly to change.
I'm sure someone could write a quick script or an easy app. Just need to find someone willing, lol.
Try adding
ro.mot.buttonlight.timeout=0
in build.prop. Remember backup!

I have been looking all over the internet but can't seem to find any way to change the opacity/transparency of the start menu bar and soft key bars for my ATT Tilt with the HTC shipped rom installed. Is this even possible? I'm sure it can't be too hard? Someone please help if you know any way to change this feature.
this would be nice! perhaps someone can help
Have you tried this? Cant remember if it lets you change the opacity but it lets you do some funky things with the bars.
thank you very much for the replys but that didnt seem to work...anyone else know anything?
I had an 8125 and now I have a tilt. In making the switch I have run into a few anooying problems that I am sure someone already solved? I have looked all over the forums so if these are answered, could you please point me in the right direction?
1) The ever popular PTT issue. Took me a while but I got it going. It was interesting that there was an incompatibility between the fix and BatteryStatus. Not sure what THAT was about? But it is working now.
Soooo...How do I get button FIVE to appear on my button maps? Neither the stock button feature in the settings nor AEButton Plus shows button 5, the camera button. It would also be kewl to map the OK button on the side, but I am guessing that is too much to ask? *Blink*
2) I have set the brightness at about the medium level (that was a disappointment because I was able to set it to the lowest on the 8125) but somehow the backlight keeps going dim after a time. I have looked all over the parameters to configure this but I can't find it? How do I keep the display from going dim on me? I have the tilt set to sleep at 1 minute and I do not have the backlight going dim at all, so I don't know what else to do?
3) Now that PTT button is mapped, I did what all of you did, I set it to Voice Command. But of course the push and hold I want the convenience of RECORD like I had on the 8125. I have tried all of the shortcuts and such I could find on this site and everyone of them put the voice recorder on my screen but did NOT initiate the record feature. Is there no way to do this on the tilt? I think I remember something about a parameter? /b or something like that? I tried to find it again but I was unable to.
Thanks for your help, guys...

Hi Welcome
Not sure bout your other two questions, but the backlight is easy
Look in Start/Settings/System/ Backlight
You want the second tab, which is for Battery Power.
There you can set the timeout for it.
PS: If you have already tried this, then sorry for pointing it out, but sometimes the obvious solution is hard to find
AEButton Plus
I am able to remap both the OK button on the side and the Camera button with AEButton PLus.
I do have a slight problem that I am looking for a solution and hope someone knows the answer. When I remapped the OK button on the side, the first press still gives me the start menu no matter what I have it set for. The second press does the function I have programmed for double press. But is there anyway to not have it give me the start menu on the first press? I have it as none in the standard WM6 buttons panel. And I have it as lock phone on AEButtonPlus for both the first press and double press. But it always requires double press to make it happen. Any ideas?

I can't adjust the volume with the scroll wheel during a call. I am sure it worked in the past. Any help? Thanks.
Do you can adjust system volume by the scroll? Please let me know beacuse i can't make anything by the scroll...
you probly have the large title bar thingy installed, that seems to mess up the volume control. Simple solution is to remove it. I was never a big fan anyway. I am sure someone must have worked out a solution by now. I cant be arsed to go looking for it though as i dont use it.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Rob,
I removed the large title bar and now the scroller works.
Why get out a Large title bar. My tytn2 is a orange poland.
I would like to find a way to modify the amount of time the backlight is on for the bottom buttons. I know there is a MOD that uses these for notification in place of the LED we don't have; so I am guessing someone knows how to modify this setting. I would like to be able to make the backlight remain on anytime the screen is on. I am more than willing (and would actually like to) to do the work if someone here can get me started.
Thanks
Jeff
no one has yet found a way to do this, not sure if it's possible, but who knows.
https://github.com/project-voodoo/backlightnotification/tree/master/liblights/
^ that's neldar's work for backlight notifications, lights.c is the modified file and lights.c.original is what was modified. go ahead and play with that to see what you can find out.
Thanks for the info and link. I will certainly look into it and see what I can do. Persistance may pay off eventually!

actually the epic 4g has this setting built in. on that phone the slide-out keyboard back light has the same timer as the 4 soft keys and you have the option to sync both to the screen.
so maybe posting over there to or just getting the epic source would help.

the setting is still tied to liblights.c and it isn't tied to the length of the screen timeout, it's the softkeys tied to the keyboard keys (which use the same settings/binary)... the keyboard is just an extension of the softkeys so the solution would still lie in modifying liblights.c
Just get one of the i9000 roms with the setiron kernel, it has backlight notifications among other things.
hello, im trying to find a module that can hide the notification bar and soft buttons with a little swipe up.
having used the same thing on a windows phone i realised its actually exceedingly handy to be able to hide them at willand return at will too. i presume the must be a module somewhere that can do this but for the life of me i cannot find one. so can anyone help and point soemthing out to me that would do the job? i would greatly appreciate it.
