[ADB] How to control the backlight of the capacitive buttons

Here's an app that does the same thing: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.notquiteinsane.galaxybuttonlights
Credit goes to Sander761, just putting it here so everyone can see it. I did this to my regular S 6 and it worked.

Hi, using my Note 3 and adb I figured out the fix for this. On the Note 3 these settings were under Settings/Display/Touch Key Light. Assuming you have ADB installed and the phone put into developer mode (root is not required, this is 'standard' stuff) + usb debugging to on, take the following steps (tested on an S6 Edge):
* on the PC running adb, connect it to the device and use the command 'adb usb'. Perform the requested action to allow the PC access to the S6 (Edge)
* next, use the following commands to change the light-out period:
"adb shell settings put system button_key_light 0" -> always disable the capacitive button lights
"adb shell settings put system button_key_light -1" -> always enable the capacitive button lights
"adb shell settings put system button_key_light 1500" -> always disable the capacitive button lights after 1.5 seconds
"adb shell settings put system button_key_light 6000" -> always disable the capacitive button lights after 6.0 seconds
"adb shell settings get system button_key_light" -> get the current setting (standard: 1500, ie. 1.5 seconds)
Good luck,
Sander761 (I posted this same instruction on Tweakers.net in Dutch btw)

I can't for love nor money get the ADB connection working. I've installed and reinstalled them through Samsung's driver installer and KIES. Any tips?
I've tried running the commands through a terminal emulator session but there are permissions errors.

Also I found out you can shut off the lights by using in SQL editor. I was going in settings provider.db to change my notification toggles when I noticed the option I changed 1500 to 0 and the lights shutoff. will take screencap

Do you have Android Debugging checked in the development settings and did you trust the computer?

I'm assuming this is if you have root, right?

I wasn't offered the option to trust the computer, but debugging is enabled.
Never mind, I needed to manually select ADB driver for the "Samsung_Android" device in device manager. Got it working now.
This is a brilliant tweak and makes the phone far less annoying!

Correct

Any other ADB commands?!

I wonder if leaving these on will kill the battery

And, even without root, the setting sticks between reboots.
Are there other hidden system settings that have been discovered that can be altered this way?
[EDIT] So exported the whole list of properties. 468 including public, global and secure ones on my Verizon S6 Edge. Looking through the public ones now.

Thannk yooouuu!!! Was looking for this!

Is there any way to control the light intensity? I'm fine with the backlight being on at night, etc., but it's just too bright in general. When I had my S3 2 years ago I don't remember having the option to control brightness, so maybe not...?

Is this possible on Redmi 1S? Btw I don't think its possible.

I wrote a quick app wrapper around doing this so those that aren't ADB proficient can set their values whenever they want.

Anything in there about safe volume limit?

Yep, it's a Global rather than Public value. Not sure what the different states are.
global::audio_safe_volume_state::3
[EDIT] Found the constants.
private final int SAFE_MEDIA_VOLUME_NOT_CONFIGURED = 0;
private final int SAFE_MEDIA_VOLUME_DISABLED = 1;
private final int SAFE_MEDIA_VOLUME_INACTIVE = 2;
private final int SAFE_MEDIA_VOLUME_ACTIVE = 3;
You can set it using the ADB method, just have to do global rather than system. It doesn't stick on reboot and doesn't seem to actually do anything. I've never quite figured out how the audio thing pops up or doesn't. Do you know a good method to trigger it?

It requires permission to write system settings so the changes can be saved.
Do you mean you have to be root?

Using tasker to simulate power button

I want to use tasker to turn the screen off. Secure Settings > Lock Device forces me to use pin, which is not what I want, as I use a finger print scanner to wake my device. Shell > Input keyevent 26 does not work either, as I am not rooted (Huawei Mate 9 pro, doesn't seem to have a reliable root yet).
I have tried doing it with System > Send intent, but that seems to have no effect. I dont know if I am doing it wrong. I have also tried
Code:
terminal task
, with a code like this (and some variants of it), without success:
Code:
am start --user 0 -a android.intent.extra.KEY_EVENT --es KEYCODE_POWER ACTION_DOWN
I have also tinkered with
Code:
android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF
...but with even less success.
Any ideas as how how I can get this to work? Either with terminal emulator or tasker send intent task?

I think you can't do that cause you're using your Fingerprint. That is a security future and Tasker can't bypass it. Don't nail me on it cause I am not sure. Maybe someone else can prove me wrong.

Maybe you could setup a workaround for this. For example, you could lower the display timeout value to one second so your device locks itself.
(Don't forget to change the timeout back to your preferred value after another second!)

Good idea. But the minimum is 7 seconds, which is too long to wait, for the solution to be worthwhile.

I found a way to do it:
1: Create a task:
display > display timeout: 8 seconds
scene: Show scene: popup - display as overlay, blocking, full screen​2: create a profile for screen on, create task:
hide scene: popup
display > display timeout: 30 seconds​

So you're hiding the ui with a black screen until the screen is really switched off after 8 seconds, right? But what happens when you press the back or home button within the 8 seconds? Does the scene disappear?

This is what I do. Just make a task with Run shell, no need for security settings app. In the command line type input keyevent 26. You then can add a short cut when you double tap the homescreen to turn off the screen.

@snorrski you might want to have a look at this:

It seems to be exactly what you wanted. It works without root and on my (unrooted) S7 Edge, I can still use the fingerprint sensor to unlock my device after locking it this way (input keyevent POWER).

I know it's been over 2 years since y'all had this discussion, but I hope this still reaches you.
The power button on my Mi A1 stopped working recently and I can't seem to find it's replacement flex cable anywhere. I'm entirely new to Tasker but I have been reading for hours now to find ways to use a screen based interaction (say a double tap on the screen) to simulate the Power button to turn the screen off while still being able to unlock my phone with my fingerprint scanner.
So far, I've understood that it is doable (with an article refering to input keyevent 26), even more so on Android Pie (with another article refering to using Global_Actions) than it was previously possible, but am entirely clueless on how. I also couldn't quite understand the process of using the remote ADB shell plugin you mention here.
Could either of the two of you please share a step-by-step how-to on how to achieve the same? It would really help a lot. Thank you
Note: I'm using unrooted Mi A1 running stock Android Pie with July 1st security patch.

Your post is getting long in the tooth. Are you still looking for help?
There are button remapping apps and apps that do double tap for off in the play store. Also, launchers can do this. Nova launcher for sure, but others I believe as well.

Hey, thanks for the suggestions. Gravity Screen, Nova Launcher as well as finally being able to understand Tasker, did help solve this issue, as I still look for a flex cable to fix the physical button issue as well.

It is. Although, the price is 3.5x the price if I got it from an authorised Xiaomi service centre (except the one in my locality doesn't have it) and about 14x than what is available at local mobile spare parts shops (again not available). Hopefully, I'll find it soon.

Hi,
How is it possible to disable the new Emui 9 feature "Digital Balance"?
For some people i know it can be very important, but honestly i don't like my application usage being analised, tracked and displayed.
Already searched everywhere but with no success.
Cheers,

Here you can disable it. That toggle turn it off

But there are still Trackings.
How can ich disable Tracking-Schutz?

Someone knows?
What is the module, the. apk, for Digital Balance? I want disable-it whith ADB why the process is running in background and i dont want that. Thank you

Apps-->Apps(again)-->More(the three dots in the top right corner)-->Special access-->Access to user information-->More(again)-->Show system processes-->Digital balance. And then you just turn it off
This is my translation from norwegian, so the words might be a bit different on your device. Still hope this helps tho

Hi, I just got the app but it doesn't show anything to do with turning it off. Does it only work if it is on your own phone and not on the screen time classed as your child's phone.
Does it only work on the P20 Pro because I have the P20.
Thanks.

no possible disable ???? no works here

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.parentcontrol
Via adb and you're done.

[SOLVED] How to remove setting suggestions?

I dont know what I did wrong but I cannot disable those annoying suggestions in settings.
I have another 2 devices with Android 10 as well, they either have a three dots option to dismiss them or have a cross button for fast dismiss.

And more important thing is, the suggestions have minor delays after open the setting app. You will easily click the wrong options after they pop up.

It's a bug of the device. I suppose it'll be fixed in the next update. Now it's nearly impossible to disable them

It's ROM dependent.
Either someone implemented a possibility to disable them, or noone did and you can't.
And there are many great ROMs out there for our device. For me there's no reason to stick to one and complain about it.

Ikr, but it's Android one device, the official rom should not be compared with 3rd party builds.
I mean not this kind of stupidity.

it's easy. go to apps in settings, show all apps, show system (dots menu top right), search for settings suggestions, goto storage for it and clear all data.
will come back after a while but just repeat the process.

If you are root, you can disable / freeze.

Well, after few tests, I can safe to say
Freeze 'setting suggestion' app is the right option you can use without a computer, however it requires root.
If you don't have root, use adb pm uninstall --user 0 to debloat it.
Clean storage and cache of that app cannot solve it permanently. It almost pop up again right after you back to the main page.
Still, it leaves a large blank space there. But ui looks stable now

If i uninstall it (com.android.settings.intelligence), the suggestions are away but the field to search in the settings is also gone ... this is the large blank space.

Forcing 90hz Refresh Rate to System Apps (Launcher, Settings, Etc.)

I'm using Realme X2 Pro before moving to BlackShark3 and was surprised that the experience is somehow downgraded due to the refresh rate. Realme X2 Pro is enforcing the 90hz across all apps while BlackShark3 is only for games and videos which is unacceptable for me. After searching, I managed to make the high refresh rate work on system apps which is the idea originally came from OnePlus 7 which can be found here.
This is tested in BS3 Global. Try at your own risk. I'm not responsible for any issue that may arise in your device (screen flickering, etc.)
You need to have adb setup in your desktop then enter the following line
For Windows 10/Mac:
Code:
.\adb shell settings put system display_refresh_mode 0
For Other WindowsOs:
Code:
adb shell settings put system display_refresh_mode 0
Please be reminded that this change will cost you significant battery drain but the device overall experience will drastically improve.

Thanks for this!!! It works!!

Go to shark space in settings and you can manually add apps to open in shark space. Be aware when you open browsers in shark space they load webpages much slower.

Yeah but still 60hz if i start Chrome with Shark Space and all other Apps are 60Hz too

But if 90hz is on dc dimming wont work.it worsens my eye strain
