[FIX][UPDATED 5/28/2012]VivoW AOSP Capacitive Buttons Backlight Fix - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Hey everyone,
With some edits of cm9 source i managed to get softkeys backlight working.
I have only tested it on cm9 but it should work on MIUI and maybe AOKP.

Thanks

Excited to test it out

alright attached fix to the thread. sorry it took so long as i felt that the button-light-doesn't-turn-off-after-screen-turns-off bug is pretty major and i cant release it until thats fixed.
well that took a lot longer than expected but i think its fixed. It might take up to 5+ seconds for the light to switch but if it take longer than that please tell me.
Thanks

Hey everyone,
After modifying a light script in Aeroevan's cm9 build I managed to get the buttons backlight semi-working (at least more working than before).
It should work on cm9, AOKP, CNA, and maybe MIUI.
Bugs:
- Sometimes there will be a few seconds lag between screen on/off and buttons backlight on/off
- (Fixed, I think. Need more testing) Sometimes the backlight won't turn off after screen is off. If that happens just turn the screen on and off again and that should fix it.
I based my editing on Aeroevan's script so credit goes to him.
This is just an initial fix and I will try to improve this later on.

Great job, still needs some tweaking but its better than having to adjust the brightness all the time

I didn't try the fix yet but I see that you are modifying the /sys/class/leds/button-backlight-landscape/brightness files. I was trying to come up with a script to do this a while back, but didn't know how. Now I see that this is how it is done! So, are scripts in /system/etc/ run continuously by the OS?

probably not all scripts in /system/etc but rotating_lights.sh is ran by the system every few seconds.

ok so with help and suggestions from litetaker i updated the fix which should fix (how ironic ) the backlight staying on after screen is turned off problem. however there is still sometimes the few seconds lag

Thanks for your work and the shout out! Actually seeing how you fixed the backlight thing with these scripts made me learn a lot about scripting... I am still very new to all of this. By the way, I think there is a slight error in your bklights0.sh script. The file has the following lines:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight-portrait/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight-portrait/brightness
which should instead be:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight-portrait/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight-landscape/brightness
Apart for that, this is A+ work!

Been running this fix on cm9 for a couple days now and haven't had any issues yet. Great work my man!

It's been working great for me aside from the buttons sometimes being lit when the screen is off. I am loving that I can actually see them now though

This might be off-topic, but in aeroevan's CM 7.2 he ported a fix for the rotating keys but apparently there are some issues with it. Would this fix that too?

Confirmed. This fix worked for Aerovans new CM 7.2 ROM. Usually, when you switch from camera to video mode, the lights go out. After the fix, the buttons behaves as expected. Thank you kevdliu!

Another newbie question, if I'm running CM 7.2 RC1 (non-Aeroevan, just the official one) will this allow my keys to rotate? Basically, is this an actual edit of his Script/Code or a standalone script of its own?

Na, I don't believe that feature is in the official release and this is only a fix for that feature.

[TESTING] CONCLUDED! (For the time being...)

Hey all,
Nothing to test right now... Hopefully we'll have a new kernel to test, I will update when that happens.
Reserved...
Reserved...
1st run testing
I just tested this by replacing my existing zimage and modules on my att tilt 2 running xdandroid 09.16.10 reference with NRGY Rom and it loads into android ( I get to the lock screen)...then it vibrates and promptly shuts the phone down....I have to power it back up into windows. and it repeats.
Dropped it on over the 9/16 build and it crashed and rebooted on the first boot. Will continue trying.
same here.. getting to the initial lock screen and then it is shutting down automatically. Requires me to hit the power button and then it boots back into Windows.
I have tried to delete my data store, but that is about it. Any ideas?
doesnt sound like its working. I'll make some changes and have a re-release for this.
Thanks so far for the tests
I am seeing the same results as many others. I get to the android lock screen and then it vibrates and seems to lock up.
I have a rhod400 and I am using the 8/30 blazn release.

Same here, with the same hardware. Going to have to wait until I get an updated kernel, it sounds like a patch is in this kernel that isn't supposed to be in there
I'll update the first post when I get a new kernel.
So I seemed to get this kernel working on the NBH testing... at least I'm assuming it's using this kernel!
This is exciting, thanks a lot for the hard work devs, and looking forward to a new kernel to test
RHOD100, After boot animation - landscape lock screen and "no service". After unlock it - i had "rebooting".

Haha no worries guys. I'm anxiously awaiting a new kernel for the public... in the meantime I've been testing some stuff for the button lights at the bottom of the phone & the ambient light sensor for the screen brightness... it's very promising!
Will the above light control maybe lead to a backlight keyboard? [fingers crossed!]

I haven't heard that talked about yet, but it does seem like a natural progression... there's a guy who has some some coding with Qualcomm chips, seems to really know his stuff. I've been helping him test kernels on my RHOD400.
Same problem as other bootup to lockscreen then vibrate and restarts automatically back into windows.

Don't mean to necro, but I'm stoked for this fix any updates?
Working with the devs now... I think I'll have another kernel to test soon. Don't hold your breath tho

-based on jpu
-exif data correct again
Version 3:
-focus before taking picture when using power key (not sure about it)
Version 2.

I tried upgrade Stock Apps from SGS Tools, but nothing happens. No Change.
No point in Upgrade Stock Apps is changing my System.
Edit: Stupid. I forgot the checkbox.
You have root and busybox is installed?
Next version of the app will show if there appears errors while applying..

No everything works. Was my error, your app is working. The hacked cam is really nice.
Some suggestion for hacked gallery3d: enable autorotation at start and disable on exit.
Great work! Was searching earlier this week for an hack/app that would use the power button als capture button but could only find a very old thread about this on XDA.
Wondering why someone didn't attempted this before, it seems so natural. Samsung should have made this the default behavior in the first place, locking the camera with the power button caused pain when I accidentally pressed it the first time I got my SGS and it wouldn't respond..

Indeed it would. Either making it a selectable option or disabling it altogether is fine by me.

I'll probably flash this ROM as a DD when it has 3G or real HW acceleration working, whichever comes first GJ so far though, I'll probably give it a whirl to see how it is later tonight, compare it to the port maybe in terms of speed and such
First off, here's how I flashed:
1. Superwipe
2. Flashed Rom
3. Flashed Odie kernel
4. Flashed gapps
5. fixed permissions
It booted really fast and looks absolutely clean. I immediately connected to data, but not wifi - even though the connection is strong here. My data says 3G, but could be HSPA, and I jumped on the browser just to double check. It worked.
Things I noticed:
Scrolling is choppy, but I know that's easily fixed.
The market would not download (as expected), so I ran the fix via adb. When I tried Market again, it froze the phone and I had to do a battery pull.
The home button is not working so well. Takes 3-4 pushes to get it to work, it's easier to just to use the back button.
Didn't get a chance to look at much else after the phone froze.
I really appreciate you posting this up. I know you've been working hard and probably waiting for something that can be played with, and you got that here. Thanks again, I 'll post more impressions in a bit.

I'd suggest installing setCPU or something similar to check those lockups, as there was a known(ish) issue in the port with Odie's kernel clocking too low (at 122 mhz) so if you could bump that up and also see what the upper end is? I'll probably do it myself eventually, and since I'm super lazy ill just pack the apks for titanium and setCPU into the app folder of the ROM itself and give it a whirl haha
My wifi works but the icon doesn't show up so its as if I have no connection. My home button is also bugged.
Edit: Also the gallery apo doesn't work and the messaging app seems to be missing

Rom runs good for an alpha
- The Homebutton ( i know this is known ) but it seems like its reacting like a back buttons sometimes.
- I often get a red border when tapping next in a menu or install in the market.
- SDcard works but no mass storage on pc
Edit 2: the : and ; are not located at the fn button but at the shift button.
So far i already like this better then de Desire S port
Edit: I have no messaging app, anybody else who hasn't?
Edit 3: I tried buttonremapper to try and remap the home button but no luck

Your home button was acting like a back button? Mine was just being unresponsive until about the third press. Interesting.
aside from that, did you notice if your handset got warm while running this rom? Mine did, and I forgot to mention it in my post.

No not having problems with it being to warm. Running it now since my post and still no problems except the usuals.
And about the homebutton, it also looks app related. For example in whatsapp it just does nothing, but in the browser it reacts as a back button.
Seems like someone in the desire s port thread fixed the home button. But i found something new with the hw kayboard. Capital d doesn't work.

[DEV][ICS-AOSP] Alpha3 - Physical Keyboard Patch Fix!

Hey guys,
Click here to download the
ICS-AOSP (Angel_666 release) Alpha3 Keyboard FIX!​
1. How to install:
- Flash Alpha3 ZIP using CWM
- Flash this ZIP using CWM over Alpha3 (also works over Alpha3 + root and/or wifi & market fix)
- Clear Dalvik cache!!!
- Reboot & Enjoy
2. Known issues:
- Occasional white artefact in system tray on boot. Goes away afterwards. Note that I will not even attempt to fix this!!! Don't ask!
- Does not work on any other ICS build EXCEPT ALPHA3 by Angel_666!!!
WARNING: Do not flash if you use 3G or GPRS!!! This patch will f#!$ up GSM!
Note that because of two reasons, I decided to create a separate thread for this fix:
1. Everyone started asking about fixes in main thread instead of letting the devs do their thing
2. I want everyone to find the fix fast, without having to look for page xxx in the long thread.
Regardless, I also want to prevent this CWM zip from turning into Alpha4!!
@ani55: you can also link this ZIP in the main thread, but we will answer questions here about this fix.
Hope you like it! Give thanks!!!!
Peace,
C.
It's working. Thank you.
thanks, cheatman.

Disable Touch Key Backlight on Google Edition

I hope someone can help me out with this (I guess most of my posts arent worth bothering with as they usually go untouched by anyone). I'm trying to figure out a way to disable the touch button backlight on a Google Edition ROM. I have been searching for an answer since the Google Edition hit. All I can ever find is how to disable on GSIII ROMs (non ge). If anyone can please help me out I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

Screen Filter is an app that can disable the backlight of the softkeys. Set it to auto-start at boot and you should be good. I know its not a direct fix but its a low impact app that shouldnt effect battery life or operation.

Seems to work for me. Did it dim the screen at all (thats its main function)? Did you see the check box "enable softkey back light" (uncheck it) at the bottom of the app ui?

Yes, it did dim the screen, but if i uncheck the enable softkey back light, anytime I touch the screen the backlights still come on. Are you on a G.E. rom? I am currently on Infamouse G.E.

No im not. I am on AOSP (Slim Bean) though.
There are options to do this in AOKP and CM roms. Anybody know how those builds pull it off?
Give me a minute to shower and I'll write you an app. All you have to do is install my app, reboot, grant it root access, and profit.

Thanks brother. Any luck getting that working? With all of the research I have been doing, I have found MANY people that want to get this option working.

Okay i am having troubles setting it to off on boot. But here is a "toggle" version of it where you can toggle them on or off. Will try and fix the boot issue tomorrow.
SWEEET!!! Works like a charm thanks dude! Like I said, I've been searching for this forever! I know that many others have been searching for this, perhaps you should make a thread in the mods section.
