Yes it can be tun straight from terminal emulator.

su
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 0333 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

The second line makes the changes permanent until reboot. Otherwise locking the screen and unlocking again, as well as some other things, will turn the backlights back on again.

To undo the permanence, type this:

su
chmod 0647 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

the screen filter darkens it a lot..

Set it to 100% to disable the filter.
[HTC Amaze 4G] pantlesspenguin:
Thank you!!! Great find! Now there's not a single flaw with my phone :).
[HTC Amaze 4G] lgtsanev:
For some weird reason, after installing Screen Filter, I was unable to install a third-party application downloaded from the Internet, the Install button froze. Then after uninstalling Screen Filter everything went back to normal...

Just in case someone else bumps into the same problem
[HTC Amaze 4G] Turboboxer:
have had trouble sideloading apps too

I just reboot when it happens

fixed the last 3 times. Seems to happen every couple of days for whatever reason
[HTC Amaze 4G] striderx:
Awesome thanks a lot .. works great
[HTC Amaze 4G] el-zilcho:
Just pull down the taskbar and click on the screen filter icon to disable it , and your apps should install like normal .
[HTC Amaze 4G] cirrob:
I have tasker and I just downloaded secure settings. However I am confused by your instructions. How do I set this up? Do I create a profile if so what profile? What type of task do I assign that profile? Sorry to sound like a tasker newbie but I am. I saw your post purchased tasker and tried to set it up but there is no clear cut way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
Create New Profile -> Softkeys Light

First Context -> Event -> Display -> Display ON

**The Task should pop up**

Add New -> Plugin -> Secure Setting -> Run Command ( from dropdown)

Use Root (Checked)

Command Name (backlight) or whateva

Command is

chmod 644 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness (make file writable for chanages

echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness (turn softkeys backlight on)

sleep 10 (wait 10 seconds)

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness (turn softkeys backlight off)

chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness (make readonly to prevent changes by system)

Thats it, you can tweak however you like, or tell it to stay off when a particular app is running in Fore Ground stuff like that

***You could add a second context to the first So when you are in a bright environment, it doesn't come on

Second Context -> State -> Sensor -> Light Level --- Range (0-15)
[HTC Amaze 4G] cirrob:
Thanks! I will try this when I get home today. I appreciate your detailed and patient response.
[HTC Amaze 4G] cirrob:
OK I think I did something wrong. I created the profile just fine and then created the task by cutting and pasting the text of your command in the run command field of secure settings. Hit apply and nothing has changed.

Am I missing a step?
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
One way to know for sure is to run the task. If the light goes off, then you are good
[HTC Amaze 4G] charlatan01:
Thanks! Bought the app and setup a button for on and off... so freakin' sweet.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Can I use script manager?

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I just bought the phone and this thread is one of the few that have any solutions.. screen filter works, but keeping a notification there is annoying.. rather than running tasker for this, can't I use script manager and run this "at boot" to permanently take this out?

I know where the buttons are, so I have no reason to keep the softkeys lit up..
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyjoe66:
i couldn't stand it anymore!

so i disassembled my precious a bit and painted that leds with black marker

now they can be seen only in full darkness.

need to mention, that no detachment of any parts was involved, only opened rear cover

i've also painted plastic around the camera flash leds with the same marker from both sides

ATTENTION: DO NOT TRY TO REPEAT IT AT HOME!
[HTC Amaze 4G] verkion:
Correct me if I am wrong but the LEDs are pointing upward toward the screen as opposed to being placed behind the buttons and projecting light outward. Perhaps there is some way to block the light...is there room to insert a piece of plastic/black electrical tape between the PCB and the screen edge? From the image posted above, it looks like there might be...

verkion
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyjoe66:
no? it's a solid plastic sheet
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
Yeah, i asked this same question on another "screen bleed thread" since we have like five lol. It seems like a good idea, but i wouldnt try electric tape cause it could melt. well i wouldnt want to risk it lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyjoe66:
screen and buttons are a single solid piece of plastic/glass/whatever, and that leds are lighting on its bottom edge from down side up. really stupid solution.

so you can't put anything between screen and buttons, there is actually no any between.

only if you cut off buttons from screen, but i'm not sure, they'll stay sensor after that

here how it work with painted leds
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
My fear with opening the phone up would be damaging the seal around the screen, allowing pocket lint to get behind the glass, but in front of the display. So far, it's been lint free, which makes an OCD-like person, such as myself, very happy.

Also, why not change the maximum brightness in /sys for the device (button backlight)? Seems like there'd be a way to make it stick. I don't have my phone with me, but it seems that was one of the changable parameters.

Edit: fished through the kernel source from HTC, and it doesn't look like the max_brightness is a writeable parameter

static struct device_attribute led_class_attrs[] = {
__ATTR(brightness, 0644, led_brightness_show, led_brightness_store),
__ATTR(max_brightness, 0444, led_max_brightness_show, NULL),
#ifdef CONFIG_LEDS_TRIGGERS
__ATTR(trigger, 0644, led_trigger_show, led_trigger_store),
#endif
__ATTR_NULL,
};
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyjoe66:
Faux123 mentioned in a changelog about lowered softkeys backlight brightness, but it lower just a bit. i don't think that tiny voltage for tiny leds can be so fine tuned, as we would like to

regarding the screen and the lint, as i mentioned before, there is no need to detach any of internals, only to open the rear cover (semi-transparent plastic one)
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Hmm, if you have root (I don't), you should be able to echo a number between 0 and 255 into /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness and see the backlight change. Would be interesting to see if there were 255 levels, or if there were like 8 levels and anything in 0-31 would be the same value 32-63 etc.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
They have that file but I remember Faux had said in his kernel it was more with the current, so maybe changing this to lower

What interests me more, since I know nothing about coding and how it all works, is the mention of blue here
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyjoe66:
nope, it looks like a byte, but acts like a bool

0 - is off, >0 is on
[HTC Amaze 4G] arcadeon54:
For me the easiest solution was installing "keyboard backlight controller" and disabling the lights all together.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
For some reason when I try to access the backlight folder in root explorer I get a force close

argh
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
Screen filter was god sent for me! Makes a huge difference. I was amazed the first time it shut the soft keys off. I was like woah! No cereal...
[HTC Amaze 4G] hzm82:
I switched from Screen filter to RootDim. Its also free in the app store and can turn off your softkeys light too.

Main thing I didn't like about Screen filter is the notification being there when it was active.

sorry but Screen Filter "DOES NOT" make any difference - i've tried it and the screen bleed remains noticeable. I guess it depends on your tolerance.
[HTC Amaze 4G] realitysconcierge:
It doesn't work on ics :-\
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
If you just copy the code from post #8 to the end of your init.post_boot.sh file you can have them off permanently.. that is what I do. The way I figure it is, once you've had your amaze a little bit, I'm pretty sure you know where the buttons are without looking ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] vickyg.coolest:
does it work on ics

???
[HTC Amaze 4G] realitysconcierge:
Look up keyboard backlight controller. It'll do the trick.

Check to see if you have driving mode enabled. It's under settings > voice input and output > text to speech settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] robiatti:
Sounds like you have accessibility turned on.

go to settings/accessibility/ and uncheck accessibility.

Driving mode is also another possibility as raquel13 said.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aqualadb03:
as they said sounds like driving mode or accessibility settings. if not try resetting to factory settings. that should clear out those options. but id do that as a last resort type thing.

I unfroze a few apps and finally solved it. I think unfreezing System Manager did the trick.

Thanks for the help.
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
Due to a certain other "poll" containing, let's say, less than scientific data, I decided to open an actual poll to try to gauge the interest in various TouchWiz/AOSP/MTD ROMs. There are, of course, several caveats which are listed as follows:

All Fascinate AOSP ROMs owe their existence to jt1134, so his work will be in all of these

Some ROMs have only recently appeared in this forum (such as Pool Party), thus older ROMs will naturally have a higher number of users

This poll does not include ROMs that are not posted here in XDA, so users of ROMs that are posted in Rootzwiki are not counted

Numbers may reflect preferences for TouchWiz or AOSP/MTD more than they reflect preference for a specific developer's work

Ugh - forgot to include Pool Party :rolleyes: - please click "other" if you are using this one

And TSM Resurrection gets battery life on par with or better than the old eclair/froyo roms. and that's with a year old battery. Rez +leankernel = more responsive system with equally as good battery. both combos were giving me less than 1% drain per an hour when idle.

As you can see from the poll, nitsuj17, TSM Resurrection turned out much better than expected :D

I really wish I hadn't forgotten to include Pool Party, especially since I am running it on my Fascinate right now and have been for weeks.

agreed! powerwashed 1.2 is a awsome rom. I think pwgb could get there if ccompos was still developing these roms!! although cm7.1 has been phenominal for me. love the speed and options...only a couple minor bugs, but easily a daily driver rom.

[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
i really dont know what else ccampos could do to powerwashed honestly....its a very stable stock + rom

the more features you add, you will inevitably run into more issues (resurrection admittedly will always cause a hot boot or two given the amount of memory available on this device)

and afaik, the rom is stable and a great option for those who want something better than stock, but dont like and/or need all the bells and whistles
