I am running the AOKP ROM with the JBX Kernel and my keyboard backlight won't stay on unless I keep typing or tap the screen. Is there a way to keep it on when the slider is open or even just set the time before it turns off?

Hey devs,
I need to ask if anyone knows how to change the vanilla lockscreen softkey functions. Specifically, I'd like to change the volume swipe to alternate between normal (volume on) and vibrate (vibrate on, volume off). I don't prefer silent because I still want to "feel" when I get messages and such when I'm at work.
Thanks
You'll have to mod the Lockscreen.java code in AOSP in the framework base... which means you'll need to check out AOSP and do the compile of AOSP yourself.

All you have to do is go into Settings>Sound and enable Vibrate always. Then, when you swipe the jog tab is goes from normal>vibrate>back to normal.
or you could enable vibrate in silent only. either way, you dont have to mess with the fun task of trying to compile from source.

Hi all,
Is there an app out there that allows track ball wake to lock screen?
I tried "No Lock" but after with the "Locking Enabled" I can't wake with the trackball.
I also tried "LockBot", which goes to it's custom slider lock screen; however, if it's password lock screen is enabled, trackball won't wake the phone.
What I am looking for is just purely trackball/volume wake, and sliding or password (if enabled) lock screen remains unchanged.
Is there such an app out there (free coz I can't access paid market)?
And is there a widget that can just off the screen?
Thanks.
p/s- my power button no longer works.
I use Lock Enabler to sleep the screen, and Quick Boot for restarts, boot in recovery, etc
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Get LockMyDroid from the market.
It was a casual app developed by someone here on XDA. No trackball lock, but long press of search. You get used to it, trust me.
Alternatively you can put a shortcut to it on your homescreen.
Thanks for the comments.
Still doesn't work for me because pressing the trackball doesn't take me to the slider screen.
If you have Cyanogenmod then you can go in settings and set it to where you can wake the screen by pressing trackball.
Best lock screen app I've tried is Lock Now. Haven't had any issues with it - really worth the investment (I'm not the developer ).
What ROM are you running? If it's stock or a largely stock based ROM (MCR for example) you can apply this patch: Link. Basically this will enable trackball wake without any programs.

There's the problem. Most all custom roms will do exactly what you want.
I have recently and the first time flashed CM7 (nightly #183) and most things work really well. except I can see the backlights for the buttons are on always, very dim but on, hence a short battery life.
I have since flashed #185 and no difference I can see.
Anyone?
Cheers
That's the backlight notifications, the dimmed setting is actually the most battery friendly.
Go into Menu,Settings, Cyanogenmod settings, Interface, LED notifications. Look under "Unconfigured for the app you want to disable the backlight led notification on and click on it. Click on LED Mode and select "Force LED off" and select save. (You should notice that a Miscellaneous tab appears under the "Unconfigured" tab. Once you configure an app it'll move from the unconfigured tab to the Miscellaneous tab)
Great thanks, that worked a treat
Thanks both

Is there a way to set my nook to stay at 180 rotation?
In other words, I would like it to think that the N button is on the top of my nook instead of the botton.
The reason for this is so I can have my nook charging while in the stand I have for it.
Most of my apps work with auto-rotation, but enough don't to be annoying.

You can use settings to enable the 180 setting then use settings to enable the orientation toggle in the notification area. Then lock the orientation to 180 when you have it there.

How do I lock it? I tried turning off orientation once I have it at 180 but that just flips it back to 0.
I am using cm 7.2

If you are running CM7, go to cyano settings, notification bar Widgets, and choose orientation lock. Then once you are at 180, pull down notification area and toggle orientation to lock it.

Thank you. That works. For some reason WordFeud seems to ignore that setting

I feel ya on this and wish it could work. I sleep on the left side of the bed and hate turning it when it plugged in cause of the crappy nook cords breaking all the time.
I'm all thumb's
Alright, I'm starting to get mad, this little bug that is on almost every goddamn ROM, is pissing the f' out of me. Ok here we go, I go to Settings> Buttons > Backlight // Disabled. It runs fine for like 20 minutes until I get a notification, this will make the HW key backlight go ON and never OFF again, it is on AOSPA, and CYANOGEN, i thing CARBON is now fixed but come on. So my question is:
IS THERE ANY FILE OR DAMN THING I CAN EDIT TO COMPLETELY (PERMANENTLY) SHUT THE HW-KEY BACKLIGHT OFF?

Or disable BLN with this app on Google play : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=neldar.bln.control.free
just flash attached zips in recovery to enable or disable backlight
(thx to @Android-Andi for these files )

It doesn't disable them permanently, I edited the script to change "brightness" to "max_brightness" but I don't know enough about permissions. It didn't work whatsoever. Thanks anyway, I just flashed PAC so I can turn them completely off there because of the "Display & Lights" settings there.

of course they are disabled completely. I use the script couple of weeks and it works great.
You have to flash it again after each ROM-update for sure...
