When JB was out for o4x, it brought one cool feature that was missing in ICS - soft key light only lit up when you pressed them, instead anywhere on screen. However, CM has same behaviour as ICS. Is there any way to fix this?
Also, is there a way to configure how long the key lights stay on after you press them? I think araragi had sth like that incorporated in his CM rom, though I'm not sure
Edit:
Wrong subforum, meant to post this in q&a, sorry

Both possible, but as far as I'm aware, no one has done it yet.
I only implemented being able to keep them always on or always off or CM default, which is to turn off after the screen hasn't been touched for (I think) 10 seconds, not configurable.

all,I am using CM 4.1.11.1 with Community Hero Theme.
I know the reason for draining my battery but I don't know how to solve it, can any one help?
issue:
When you press phone END button to keep th ephone in SLEEP mode,
- Phone goes to SLEEP mode and the Screen light is OFF.
- But, the Light on Physical keyboard is not switched off some times.
To see this, Get into a dark room and press END button to keep the phone in SLEEP mode.
Once the Phone is in SLEEP Mode,Do not Slide your Keyboard, Keep as it is and observe the Light from space between Slider and keyboard.
(I observed while I was sleeping..my phone was off but there was some light coming out)
I think this is not happening all the times but I have seen it many times and it is draining my battery.
To solve this, I use to open the Slider Press END button and make sure the lights or OFF and close the Slider.
Has any one observed this? can any one tell me how to solve this?
Is there a way to disable and enable the back light of Keyboard?

i understand that you are using your phone alot, as most all of us do, but how many times do you open and close your phone that this is a problem?
i usually close the keyboard, press home, press end and all lights shut off. hope this helps.
palosjr, yes I do the same. But as I said it doesn't happen all the time.
Also, it happens only with CM 4.1.11.1. I am not sure what ROM u have.
search market for backlight off. I have a bronze G1 and I prefer the kb backlight never come on at all so I use this.
Thanks man.
Finger....thanks a lot dude.
I was exactly looking for the same....
I really appreciate your info.
Here is the exact app name.... "backlight off"
Hi guys,
why are the touch buttons of smartphones illuminated? Because you have to see them when you want to press them. Why the hell do the buttons of the O2x get dark after some seconds after the unlock/last press, and turn on again after you have pressed them. I need them backlit when i want to press them, not after i have pressed one of them.
I want them backlit all the time the screen is on - like my desire hd.
Ive already permanently dimmed them with modacos app, so batterie shouldn`t be an issue.
Maybe theres already a thread, an app for that reason or even a system setting, unfortunately i have found none of them - so if theres a solution for that please, please help me.
thx
hi, i was wondering if its possible to turn the screen on(after locking, to unlock) by pressing the volume buttons instead of just the power button? Its really annoying having the power button the only means of turning the screen on, my old renoir worked with my volume buttons(and anything else) same as my dads arena .
Also does anyone know how to change the auto backlight settings? The intervals are terrible, it doesnt drop high or low enough to save battery but the steps are so close you notice the backlight drop just by tilting it away from any light source lol (very sensitive and annoying without really helping battery life!).
Tried searching so I apologize if its already been mentioned but i havent found any mention or solution .
i saw an option of setting the volume button to turn/wake the phone up. i believe it's from the CM7 build..
Yep, turning phone on with volume buttons is definately available on CM7. But I don't think there's that option with any of the MRC roms.
I'm sure that tiny power button will wear out sooner rather than later...it would be good to have another way of waking up the screen.
Yes option is available in CM7, but not still got a few bugs
I tried a search for information and only found one mention from back in May, so I'm hoping someone can direct me to a fix..if there is one.
I just loaded CM 7.1 on my color Nook and as far as I know at this point it seems to be working well enough. I've noted that volume seems way down on some movie clips...if that's normal or there's a fix , I'd love the info. Also, is it normal for the 'n' button not to do anything at all. It used to take you to the home screen no matter where you were, but now it doesn't seem to do anything. However..
The thing that does bug me is that it never seems to go to sleep. The screen dims after a short time (I set the sleep time to a short period to check this), but unless I press the power button and force it to sleep, it doesn't appear to ever go off. Am I missing something?
Thanks,

Hi,
First time poster as I've only just registered but I've been playing with the ROMs that Stona, SamerD, Anders, Lexmaster et al have been posting. Big thanks to you guys for putting together these ROMs.
I was a bit confused about the differences and advantages of one ROM over another. At the moment I've installing them and finding out which one I like the most. I'm actually a massive fan of Sense but those ROMs all share the problem of muting the call whenever a message or other notification comes through. So I've had to move to one of the others. I've been using Evervolv for a while and really like it. It seems fast and pretty good. I use my headphones to listening to music so all the AOKP ones are currently having issues. It would be good if there was some comparison between ROMs. I was planning to do something myself, e.g. a table with features, but then got distracted.
Anyway, to another point. I've ordered a new Power button for my phone. Under a number of the ROMS, Stona, SamerD, and Evervolv it doesn't lock or unlock my screen (thus why I've bought a new power button). However, I've got Vanilla Rootbox on there at the moment and the button seems to work most of the time. What it doesn't do though is bring up the power off menu when I hold the button in. I'm running CWM recovery and used the advanced function to do a key test. It outputs a code with the up/down buttons and the other keys but not the power button.
Has anyone else seen power button issues that change dependent upon ROM? I'm having to rely on volume wake or plugging into USB if it goes off to get the screen back.
Thanks.
Broken powerbutton?

Now I'm no pro but I'd say that your power buttton is broken. I've tried most of the above roms and had no such issue
I have tried pretty much every rom here except Paranoid android(gonna try of course) and never had such a problem.
