I want to turn off the capacitive button backlights, for when i'm using my phone at night, but I also don't want a background app running and killing my battery.
I've tried searching around, and the closest I've come is editing the file under
sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/button-backlight ;
and changing brightness and currents to 0.
This works as a temporary measure only, however, as soon as I reboot my phone, it goes back to the brightness of a thousand suns.
Help?

Actually, just modifying the file seems to work fine, as long as I don't reset my phone, which I don't do too much anyway.

There's an app called "total screen control" that can dim and turn off the softkeys backlight.It's not free but you can search google for it.

I might be the only one that thinks the button is worthless, but if anyone would like to remap it to the camera let me know and I'll write up the instructions on how to change it.
This will disable the option to switch between 2D and 3D when looking at pictures or in the middle of games but if your like me I dont have time to play games or mess with 3D pictures, and yes that makes the phone no different that any of the others but I just like the phone it's self.
steps
1. Download Root Explorer
2. Navigate to /system/usr/keylayout
3. Top of app select mount R/W
4. long click on omap-keypad.kl till menu pops up
5. select open in text editor
6. scroll all the way to the bottom to key 249
7. Edit 3D_HOT_KEY to CAMERA
8. Back out of text editor and select mount R/O in top of app
9. Back out of Root Explorer
10.Reboot
This will now map the 3D button to open the camera insted of something you may never use.
Go back to stock.
1. Navigate back to /system/usr/keylayout
2. Mount R/W
3. Only do this if you have the omap-keypad.kl.bak this is a backup of the original file
4. Delete the modified omap-keypad.kl
5. Rename omap-keypad.kl.bak to omap-keypad.kl
6. Back out and restart.
There you go.

Im interested!
Cool, I may do this, I didn't know it actually turned 3d on / off while in a 3D picture or in the camera.
I hate it when I accidentally hit it.
Might be a dumb question but it just disables the ability to suddenly turn on the 3D in the middle of something but doesn't actually disable the 3D capabilities? If so, I'm very interested.
The remap works. How ever when I changed it back to 3D_HOT_KEY the 3D key does nothing.

Instead of making it open the camera could it be programmed to act as a shutter button for the camera to take pictures?
No it doesn't disable 3D just changes what the button does.

It makes my four bottom buttons light up as if it's registering that something is supposed to happen. But nothing happens. Strange. I looked back and the text still says CAMERA.
I don't know if this makes a difference or not but under the qwerty.kl it says 3D_HOT_KEY is still at key 249. The ompa-keypad.kl and the omap-keyboard.kl.bak show key 249 as a camera.
When I set it to camera it worked, It took a second to launch after reboot. But what's strange is when I set it back and rebooted. I get nothing. Just the navigation keyslight up but no 3D app. I don't wanna reset my device just to get the button working again with the 3D.

I didn't change a thing within the settings except change the device profile at the top to HTC Thunderbolt, I enabled wifi encryption so I could set a password for the wifi, make sure wifi driver reload is checked, make sure routing fix is checked, and make sure disable wake lock is checked... oh, and I changed battery temperature to farenheit so I could actually read the temp. Lol.
You should be set to go man.

Turn location settings on and off then go I to Google settings app and turn location off then back on. Then on the weather settings select detect my location and reboot the phone.
When the phone comes back on you'll have a box asking to allow location settings, press accept and it should work.

Hi all,
I've update my M7 from ARHD 9.0 to 9.2 yesterday.. and noted that my power-toggles app was uninstalled.
From notifications, there's a new power dashboard installed.
Anyone know how to remove/disable this? I've tried to find the app 'running' from Apps via Settings. Also held the power-dashboard app via Notifications for some secs to hope it'll point to the App-Info.
Pls. see attached image of the power dashboard.
Thanks!
You'll need to reinstall the rom and keep Settings Extended as your EQS rather than the native EQS. Native EQS is unchecked by default though...

There is a post about this few months ago but I think I just paste it here since I got copy it down:
You need:
- backup!
- root
- root explorer
- hex editor
Pull /system/lib/libssmc.so with some root explorer from your rom, open it in hex editor, find this text "-notifications" and change it to "+notifications". Save. Push it back to your rom. Fix permissions (rw-r--r--). Fix owner (root, root). Reboot.

This is the only thing you need to do.

Ok Done,
But I get a very strange behaviour, when a message or everything else is coming, the led light on only once. I expect for led blinking every n seconds until the notification is deleted.
Any suggestions?
Stamina is currently off , with stamina on the led doesn't work.

using Light Manager from Google Play
you can change any behaviour of LED notifications
Ok, after factory reset the led seems now working fine, in the next days I'll try to resttore apps and see who is the responsible.
