Possible to dim the bottom three buttons? - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

I have the Galaxy Player 4.0. When using the device in the dark, I dim the screen to zero. But this does not affect the brightness of the three buttons at the bottom, which are very bright and annoying. Is there a way to turn the lights off for these buttons?

There was another thread that I found through Google it was named "android update on galaxy s wifi 4.0" or something of the sort. It was very long too, and it was where I first began my Android journey and also where I obtained the stock 2.3.6 rom that my rom is based upon.

Yup, I remember that one too! Ah, but enough reminiscing. On the subject of dimming things, I have been wanting to hack the screen so that it can go dimmer than the current 12% lock. I have been using screen filter, but it bugs me knowing how much battery I could be saving at night! If someone could point me in the right direction of what files to edit, or better yet, help me with this since I know nothing about coding, then I would greatly appreciate it. You could even add it to your rom, klin!

Not sure exactly what the process is to dim lower than that. I do know however that when I just installed CM7 the brightness goes substantially lower than the stock or any other ROM has. Might be a place to start looking?
And also as far as I'm aware, there's no way to dim the capacitive buttons. On or off, unfortunately.

Thanks for the tip, Ill look into it! I really wish I could install cm7 to test, but I need my device fully functional almost every day! Maybe Ill buy another galaxy player, lol!

Anyway to use the touch buttons as a LED notifier?

Is it possible to use the touch buttons as an LED notifier for missed calls, email, and SMS? Sure they cant change colors but at least it could blink every X seconds/minutes.
You do Realize this has been asked before.. I sent Jac a thread that has this working on the I9000.. Not sure if he's still looking into it or not though.
its already done for Captivate.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780732
Whats included:
-Correct Screen auto-rotate
-HSUPA support
-MobileAP support (aka wireless tethering)
-Selecting with power button in recovery mode
-External SD card support
-Postboot scripts
-Voodoo lagfix
-Softkey Backlight Notification
I tried and got bricked... so if someone can make this for Vibrant i will be happy.
I use the app noLED. Works pretty well. Found it in the market.

I personally don't care for that app. It's okay idea, but what really needs to get done is samsung to implement the Notifications into the buttons. I've seen what the i9000 has done, it's not too bad. This has been posted many times, you might want to try the search button

Ive been using that but its questionable how it affects battery life and long-term effects on the screen life.
noLED is a decent alternative imo
When I used to noLED I would press the volume buttons and it would give me the volume sound and light up the screen but still on black. So I predicted it would kill my battery quicker.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
NoLED is a PITA...it adds another layer of lockscreens/button-touches to get your notifications, thus I didn't care for it much. It also FC'd on me all the time...YMMV.
Someone will most likely get the button led flash to work one day, just be patient.
Flash notify in the market place will suffice for now and it actually works pretty good
surprised this hasn't already been implemented for the vibrant. if it's already done on the captivate isn't it just a matter of time for someone to port the code over?
Reason it hasn't been implemented got the vibrant its because your talking a whole new kernel build... Along with that the current implementations of it, from what I read prior, aren't too fond of battery life and they can't make it blink like a led would do. The buttons backlight just stays on. I don't know if that has changed any time recently but thats what it was like the previous time I looked it up.

[Q] Are you happy with your new phone ? (POLL)

Before ordering mine, a small poll
(Edit : "Your Phone", meaning your new S2 of course !!! )
No!!!
Because i have a N97 now, i guess in a few days i'll be happy with my SGS2
So far yes.
Yes, absolutely. I can see this potentially breaking my record for longest-owned phone.
As long as the gps is good, and doesn't cut out mid-journey (****ty DHD), it'll be perfect.

Open the app drawer, then press menu and choose edit. Now you can longpress the dock icons, widget style, then drag them to the app drawer. You can put whatever you want in the dock, although I believe only 3 apps (because the drawer needs an icon)

TouchWiz lasted about an hour for me too. It was actually the same problem that made me download ADW but even though I worked out how to do it, there's no reason to stick with it. The app drawer was such a mess, 6 pages of unsorted crap and no apparent way to sort alphabetically. I'm hearing more and more about Golauncher, I must try it.

3 questions from a future potential buyer:
1 - Does this finally have a Notification LED? (or do we have to use another backlight hack?)
2 - Does the phone get warm/hot during browsing especially with whites backgrounds? (Any temperature posts would be extremely welcomed, since this was an annoying issue with my Galaxy S)
3 - Does the phone feel too big? (length wise)
^ I always felt 4' was the sweet spot for phones. Your thoughts?

Pretty much what I was wondering. Just sold my Cappy for $500 and was looking for the next beast of a phone. Since the Atrix is uh.."limited", the sensation not out as yet, I guess the SGS 2 is probably my best bet, but a few questions, Im in Canada and:
1. Would it work on Rogers?
2. Am I even able to get it over here? 2a. And how?
How do people have the phone, it hasn't even come out?
It has come out in the UK hasn't it?

1. No
2. Not noticably
3. It's not comfortable for long phone calls (as I discovered last night), but for general usage it's about the right size for me. Despite it's gargantuan scree it is so svelte and quite ergomical, so it doesn't feel ridiculous in the hand.

[Q] Wonky CRT Off Animation

First of all, I wanted to say my CRT off animation is weird on my SII. It seems to flash white before starting. It was much smoother and sexier on my Captivate and even looks better on the DROID 3. It looks weird on mine. I've tried it on both UnNamed and Cog X2, both have that weird thing. Is it just KH7, or is it just something unfixable?
My CRT off animation looks like that too. it looks bad. it started when I flashed cog b4(had it on stock and it looked fine).

Yeah it does look bad. It looks fine on stock? I'll have to look into that. I guess it's something with custom ROMs. It's really sad...
when I say stock I don't mean pure stock. I had it after I flashed the 12 toggle mod and it included it and it looked fine then but after flashing cog I noticed it. If I can help in anyway let me know. Your work with the captivate was great btw

I'm talking to GTG right now. I mentioned this, hopefully I'll get to the bottom of it. Personally I'm not sure what exactly to do...
On another note, he fixed my animation issues (present in his UnNamed ROM and Cog X2) by disabling slowBlur. Ever noticed pressing Menu on the home screen and opening popups like in settings with brightness and volume, that the popups open with an animation that seems to be half missing? He fixed that for me. So I'm hoping he will find this too. The guy really knows his stuff.
Thanks for the compliment! I hope to soon start some projects for the SII!
Some news coming from GTG
However, the CRT animation on dg's rom and on my rom (with the addon) is as good as it's going to get. It just isn't rendered right on the Galaxy S II and no one has figured out why definitively. Whoever told you it works fine on stock just doesn't have a very discerning eye. Read that whole thread I linked you to. The international GSII owners already went through this long ago and accepted that the CRT animation will never be quite right on the SGS2 with Samsung based ROMs. CRT is fine on CM7 though apparently.

Here is the referenced thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177746
This is so weird. Up to this point, my CRT worked wonderfully. So well that it looked native. I saw this thread, so I looked at it again and now mine has the white screen issue (for the first time) .
EDIT - Upon reboot, my CRT returned to normal. One of the lucky ones I guess.
Thought it was my just my phone. It was fine until yesterday...well at least I first noticed it yesterday...all static-barcode looking. But I can say honestly at one point it was definitely smooth because I played with it continuously when I first enabled it because it looked so sweet on my screen.

It isn't a fix, nor does it actually work. It looks better, and that's it. Notice how when you press the power button, the screen turns white then shrinks towards the middle. That's not how the animation should work. It should take the screen, and shrink that towards the center, I assume with a white outline. The problem is the last screenshot taken I guess, or just the buffer/cache somewhere.

On UnNamed with slowBlur off, a reboot makes it look almost acceptable. Still wrong compared to my Captivate.
Restoring a backup of stock that came with my phone, gonna enable it there and see if that works. Just in case...
On stock firmware which came with the phone, I manually enabled CRT off. It works, but still not correctly. It does not shrink the screen, but a while screen. And has a weird flash in it. Guess that's a nope. It's USABLE but nowhere near perfect.
So I need someones help. I deleted the screen capture apk, and now pressing the key combo just makes the phone vibrate. So somewhere there is a link between that apk and the button combo. Can someone help me find that?
I would help but I have almost no android ( or Linux for that matter) experience. I would love to learn so I can finally start giving back to the community.

I laid my Aria flat across my Streak from left-to-right. It goes up to like the 4 capacitive buttons, then the rest sticks out.

my wrist pops as I stretch my thumb out to reach the 'qwas' keys with my thumb.....and this thing is like "back pocket" big...but so gorgeous. Already noticed the pen only works on this, not even my tiny skyrocket.

My friend has a Rom of 4.2 on his gs3 and nexus 7 that allows for "tickle" wake up. So it's not the double tap, but just a swipe across the screen. I haven't personally used it so I'm not sure if it has to be in the Rom or if we could add it in.

There is a similar one called PGM2, I used it on my Galaxy Nexus. It requires a kernel that supports it. (most of the custom kernels do). You can set it to respond to tapping the screen, swiping, etc. You can simply swipe to the left across the bottom of the screen to turn it off. I love my Galaxy Nexus.... I just upgraded to the S4 2 weeks ago with the Verizon Unlimited Data keeping option and despite no custom kernel/4.3 support due to ME7, I LOVE this phone even more...the speed is phenomenal and I get more than triple the battery life of my Galaxy Nexus (and it has an extended battery). I'm running Hyperdrive rom and it's more than enough to keep me happy until if/when kexec support or other bootloader workaround is available.

Is this PGM2 available for the S4?
Maybe some of the easier tasks like wifi off when leaving home/work network. Quiet hrs. during certain times, battery saving mode when sleeping for a period of time etc. Sounds like a good idea if its simplified. Tasker was a PITA to learn
one of my favorite tools used in flashing is a zip that copies all my custom notification mp3s to the system/media folder for me. Something similar would be nice

tasker can be difficult for some to wrap they're head around...i love learning that kind of stuff but im weird like that. i have so much goodness automated with tasker...i frickin love that app.
if OP automated the importing of tasker profiles for some of the things mentioned above that would be useful for some folks too. most basic codes for that can be downloaded and imported to tasker
