So I use my phone at night and the screen is still very bright so I downloaded an app called night mode to dim the screen past stock. It doesn't dim the softkeys and I was wondering if anyone here knows a root method on how to dim the soft keys because they are still very bright at night.

Have the same problem.
This is my workaround.
Download full screen! Which will hide your nav keys or you can use GMD gesture pro also to do the same.
Use night mode after that
Thank you a billion times! It works perfectly and just what I needed. Thanks

When using the alarm there is what seems to be a night stand option that seems to dim the screen super low...is there a way to make this a dim option all the time? Would be great for reading in bed with out waking the wife.

Does anyone know how to dim the soft button lights? Screen filter doesn't seem to work for that.

Screen != buttons. And no, they're not dimmable.

you can dim the softkeys with this app :
well as it seems I cant post an android market link, you have to search for yourself :
try backlight disabler or net.beshkendze
there is a free version as well
I just have the paid version,and you can disable the backlight completely or dim them to about 50% of the usual brightness.
the only drawback is that this setting only stick until you turn off your tablet,after you turn in on again, you have to apply the setting again.
but i.e. with tasker,this can be automated.
if you open the (paid) app,and kill it(root),the backlights will be off,if you open the app and use the back button,the softkeys will stay at 50% brightness.
I use tasker on my p1000 to do this everytime I turn on my galaxy tab and it works great.
I know this is just a workaround,but at least one that works
Really? How many percent dimmer? Is it adjustable?

For some reason it is like my phone is stuck with auto brightness on even tho it is off. I had 3 HTC Ones next to each other. My phone was more dim out of all of them.
Any way to edit build.prop or something to fix this?
I also looked for an answer didn't see anything.
I'm on the newest viperRom, stock kernel.
Thanks!

?+1 to this. Power saver has a dim screen option, so while autobrightness may be turned off, it will be dimmer.

New here in the HTC one area so please forgive me if this topic was already covered. Being new to the HTC phone I wasn't liking the soft button lights turning off during the day light so this app basically keeps button backlight always on, as long as the screen is on.
Confirmed working with HTC one. KiNDA
Soft Buttons Light

UPDATE: The soft lights turn off on occasion and I have to toggle the power button to turn the light back on. Bug I guess but quick minor temp fix by hitting the button
UPDATE 7-/4/13: According to solid.snake (see quote below), Capacitive Buttons Brightness Works well

Are you able to see the button lights in the daylight? They seem kind of dim to me.

APK in second post HERE thanks to the developer denversc
Works for htc one m7 802w dual sim as well.
Looked through 18 pages and found no answer. No email or sms apps other than stock will show led notifications. Stamina mode is off. Running 244. Any ideas

Light Flow...set it up right and it shows the correct LED even in Stamina. Don't know what people rant about, mines always worked properly lol.
Is this a firmware bug? As I factory reset the phone and added just one app and no notification light when using that app. As said I don't use stamina mode. Will look at using lightflow.

As stock the LED light only shows a couple of colours, download something like Lightflow (there are plenty more on the play store) and it enables the light to show any colour you like, as long as you set it up right:good:
