[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] polstein:
Couple things I'm researching, but got through the first so I thought I'd share:

I saw earlier in the thread that a few people were looking for ways to turn off the Capacitive buttons. Not sure if people meant to just turn off the backlight, or keep them from doing anything.

Anyhow, I want the buttons to work, I just want the backlight off (always). Did a bunch of reading & found a work around via an app called Screen Filter. Problem is if you adjust the brightness, the buttons light up again. So I have a work-around with Screen Filter & Tasker. Let me know if anyone wants details.

OH - and please let me know if I'm just missing a setting somewhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rahsaanabdul:
Please tell, I would like to be able to turn mine off and leave them off also for tablet mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] polstein:
Okie. Keep in mind, I'm a Tasker Novice, so they might be a better way to do this. I have 5 different levels of brightness ranging from 1 (dark, night reading) to 5 (very bright). Most of the day, I'm on 2 (no screen filter, brightness as low as I can get it).

- Install Tasker & Screen Filter.

- Make a task in Tasker called "Dim" with the following 'code'

IF %Bright=5

Display Brightness 150

Screen Filter 96.1%, Soft-Keys OFF

%Bright=4

Else IF %Bright=4

Display Brightness 50

Screen Filter 96.1%, Soft-Keys OFF

%Bright=3

Else IF %Bright=3

Display Brightness 0

Screen Filter 96.1%, Soft-Keys OFF

%Bright=2

Else IF %Bright=2

Display Brightness 0

Screen Filter 100%, Soft-Keys OFF

Screen Filter 40%, Soft-Keys OFF

%Bright=1

ELSE

%Bright=1

END IF

FLASH/Text Brightness Level %Bright

- Make a task in Tasker called "Bright" with the following 'code'

IF %Bright=4

Display Brightness 255

Screen Filter 96.1%, Soft-Keys OFF

%Bright=5

Else IF %Bright=3

Display Brightness 150

Screen Filter 96.1%, Soft-Keys OFF

%Bright=4

Else IF %Bright=2

Display Brightness 50

Screen Filter 96.1%, Soft-Keys OFF

%Bright=3

Else IF %Bright=1

Display Brightness 0

Screen Filter 100%, Soft-Keys OFF

Screen Filter 96.1%, Soft-Keys OFF

%Bright=2

ELSE

%Bright=1

END IF

FLASH/Text Brightness Level %Bright

Now make Widgets pointing to the 2 tasks (I use GMD gestures, but use any way to get to the tasker shortcuts).

Couple notes:

Changing the Screen Filter from say 40% -> 96.1% doesn't do anything. You have to set it to 100% to turn it off, then reset it back the new number. I use 96.1% as the highest non-100% number I can get just for the Soft-Key off option.

This puts the Screen Filter icon in the tray at all times (minor grr).

If you use some other then these tasks to adjust brightness, you could make a Screen Filter 96%/Soft-Key off Widget/shortcut, and then just fire it anytime you change the brightness.

I don't use Auto-Brightness, so haven't tried it.

I wrote to the dev asking if he could make a separate app for just the Soft-Key off, preferably with a auto-boot option (no answer yet, but only wrote last night).

One could modify the script for more or less levels of brightness, and change the numbers to own liking.

The %ELSE clause in the script is just an extra check in case something messes up the %Bright variable, guarantees that after the script fires, %Bright will be set to *something*. Last line just Toast messages the current level.

Umm - think that's it. Any better way to do this? Anything else I can explain - ask away!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
wow...that was tons of info juat to turn them off.....here is a build prop tweak should work..

ro.mot.buttonlight.timeout=0

(key lights stay on while screen is on)

so try value 1.....should stay off while screen is on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dafoxs:
My thoughts exactly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
i was looking for the opposite (want my lights to stay on as long as the screen is on)

i set it to 0

doesnt work. lights still go off at about 6 seconds or so i guess

jelly bean left out the whole option about capacative lights?(because i know GB and ICS have them)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ManelScout4Life:
Touching the screen makes the lights come back on. I don't see the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
Not a huge issue, but at night at work(outside) I just have to hit the screen a few times to figure out exactly where the button I want to hit is
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] polstein:
Well sure, if you want the easy way! (Trying now). Wonder why I found a few threads with people saying it couldn't be done in JB prompting me to do the workaround. Fun experiment either way.

Hmm - glad I made a backup of the file. I get the splash screen then a black screen adding this line (phone turns off). It matter where I put the line in the prop file?

(twrp awesome. able to rename my build.prop into build.prop.bad & put back my copy without even using a pc)

EDIT: reading about the line "ro.mot" being for Motorola devices. Still reading about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] darks8587:
Hi just came from liquid loving the speed of this ROM but anybody know how to add the Chinese language support? Search on the forum I saw somebody mention you would have to compile it yourself. Is there an easier way? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] manwithmanypiercings:
Do you need everything to be in Chinese or just a keyboard?

EDIT: You have a PM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sealcouch:
I'm completely digging this rom. Keep up the good work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
How did you apply that build prop tweak? please be more specific?.... I'm wondering if the value didn't stick or what is wrong? it should work? !! let me look more into this... :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] polstein:
Dunno about others, but here's what I tried:

- Root Explorer (r/w)

- Renamed build.prop to build.prop.org

- Copied build.prop.org to build.prop

- Edited build.prop to have the line -specifically, I put it like this:

# ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES

#

ro.mot.buttonlight.timeout=1

- Rebooted phone. Got splash screen, then phone turned off (tried a few times).

- Used TRWP to delete build.prop & then rename build.prop.org back to build.prop.

- Rebooted & came up fine.

- Using my long, messy (but working) Tasker/Screen Filter combo.

I mentioned a few posts ago, but I've read the ro.mot is intended for Motorola phones, but dunno if that is accurate.

Assuming it's a "bad" line for the Note, would having a "bad" line cause the phone to turn off? I was expecting the phone to just ignore the line or something & keep going, even if it didn't work. Wondering if somehow I mangled the editing.

Should we move this to another thread so we don't clog up the rom thread?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] darks8587:
Thanks will try it after I get home. I don't need the whole phone to be Chinese just able to display it this seems to fit what I need

GPS is horrible when it works fine with stock and other ROMs. Anyone have tips to help with GPS?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gatoraid84:
I'm not even running this ROM but this reply bugs me...its like a lil kid replied this..this is not helpful and shouldn't have been posted as per the universal xda rules
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
What he's saying is if you don't like it then don't use it. There's no need for you to be insulting
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] redeuxx:
It takes a long time to get a lock and even with a lock, many times the lock doesn't stay and accuracy is intermittent. The accuracy is putting my location everywhere in my vicinity.

I don't see where I was insulting anyone. Describing an experience isn't insulting anyone. I understand the devs don't get paid to do this, but if all a dev can say is use it without comment or leave, then why have a community at all. In any case, this is off topic and isn't what this thread is about. Please continue the regularly scheduled programming of hero worshipping.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dafoxs:
According to the "XDA Rules", and it also says search.

I like to Google crap like this, sometimes it's not this phone specifically, but something always shows up. Didn't read this post, the title tells the story.

I just wanna say this rom is damn near close to flawless as of right now. Rarely any issues. Video controls don't show? Clicked disable h/w overlay... Problem solved. Not a single reboot or force close. Amazing battery life smooth feature rich and all in a bite size package. Stock kernel zero issues. Only thing is when plugging in headphones u need to lower and raise volume to get sound other then that I'm more then content right now. I'm not even looking to flash anything besides an update to this. You have done well since your first rom release scout. I give u props keep up the amazing work.

I just wanna add I switched to ocean hd live wallpaper and have seen zero impact on battery life.

Why are you even in this thread then. Many people have issues that no one else has because they can't follow the simple instructions in the first two posts. I use this ROM and the GPS locks in 5-10 seconds and works perfectly.

People report issues that aren't really issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] evrox:
Try clearing the data on the maps. This happened to me before...it kept saying I was on a street that I wasn't on and directions were way off. I don't remember if it was this rom or not.

Clearing the map data fixed it for me.

....maybe leave out the "horrible" next time, people don't like when their hard work is slammed for no reason....

I had the same misreporting of a street name on liquid...funny that the actual directions on the screen were correct...

You know man, I get where your coming from on the hero worshipping thing...I hate like hell to read posts from people gushing on and on stroking some devs ego......and then I catch myself doing it on the liquid rom thread...

You know why....Because as someone above mentioned, when you grasp the enormity of what John does...a single guy doing for us what a multi million dollar company is dragging it's heals to do...It's worthy of praise...When he does it maintaining the class that is exhibited in his threads....It's gushworthy ( John said I could be the official wordsmith, so yeah, I just invented that word - pending a lawsuit from apple) ...

.....oh...and his work is also worthy of beer money....the weekend is upon us...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ManelScout4Life:
Reporting issues is fine. Complaining about horrible performance that only you are experiencing isn't fine. If you came in with a different tone for example: "hey guys is anyone else having gps issues?" Then I would have helped you. But coming in and complaining about a ROM that I am giving you for free is another story. I don't care for praise I do this for fun, just don't act like I owe you a 100% functioning flawless ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] polstein:
Settings/ASS/Interface/Sound, Uncheck Safe headset volume might do it. It helped so when I plug my phone into my tape cassette thingy in the car I didn't have to raise the volume back up every time.

Really liked this ROM but can't use it as my daily driver. Too many little issues but the deal breaker was I couldn't tether with foxfi. I tried the built in tethering and it would work extremely slow if at all. Wifi tether (for rooted devices) worked about the same (slow if at all).

There are a lot of things to like about Jelly Bean. I sure hope Samsung doesn't make us wait too long. I like to use the spen which is also obviously missing from this ROM. And I really liked Google now/search on Jelly Bean.

I don't know if it was jelly bean or if it was just because of all the bloatware being removed, but this ROM was VERY fast.
