[Q] Brightness of softkey - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I bought a day ago s3 blue pebble and comparing it with another one of my friends (always pebble blue), I noticed that the brightness of its softkey is much stronger.
Is there a way to increase this brightness?

Nope

Mine is dim aswell. Compared to my GS1 which is bright as the sun.

I have mine turned completely off - I think they make the phone look extremely dated, especially when many devices come solely with on-screen buttons now.

Amazing app to disable bottom 1/3 of screen when writing!

If you are like me and go NUTS from the keyboard continually popping up when you are writing and your wrist hits the screen I have a recommendation.
It is called "Invisible Grip" and can be enabled or disabled from the Notification Bar.
What it does is allow you to disable the edges of your screen. If you disable just the bottom when you are writing in Notes this means no more annoying keyboard popups! Yay!
You need the pro version to enable just the bottom and adjust the size. Only a buck so totally worth it.

You could also try an app called Screen Filter.

How does Screen Filter do what this does?
Yikes! Teach me to post while I'm too sore to see straight. The app I meant to mention is Touch Blocker. Still in beta but available here at XDA. Apologies for mentioning the completely wrong app.

Good thing you asked, using the same subject title. I was just about to ask the same question.
Originally I could not see your attachments either, so had no idea you were talking about the same icon, lol...
BTW I wasn't even aware that was the black clipping test picture as my background, it shows up at total black.. HAHA!
This icon has been changed in the new XXBLFB firmwareto something more obvious

So a lot of us have flashed one of the awesome Jelly Bean Roms. I'd love to see what everyone is rocking, trade ideas and discover new customizations. Especially since our homescreens are always works in progress! I'll start!

2 reasons. One, to have one just for JB. And two, to have something positive going after needless drama in other threads. I thought this might be fun and boost morale between each other as well as share ideas etc.. Most of those people are running JB

What app to make notification led brighter

Hi is there a app to make the notification led brighter on note 2? My led is dim when it's in a bright environment. Thanks

Are you on a stock ROM or AOSP? On AOSP you can change the LED brightness on certain ROMs and if you're on AOSP you can flash Plasma kernel which allows you to tweak with the LED brightness levels as well

I don't know of anything that works on Beans, just that certain AOSP roms will let you and that Plasma will let you. You have to be on AOSP to use Plasma though.
You could check out Lightflow and see if it offers you the ability, I know it let's you change what LEDs flash for each app but I'm unsure if it'll allow you to change the brightness levels.
You could also ask in the Beans 20 thread and see if anyone knows.

Got my note2!

Have to figure out the best way to hold it with 1 hand because top left and menu key at a bit of a reach.
My s3 feels like an iPhone in comparison, it feels dainty, lol!
Can't wait to get it rooted and use a DPI closer to what I have on the s3 w/slim bean to really take advantage of all the screen real estate

You should use lmt so you don't have to reach down for the soft keys.

If you're into trying stuff, maybe check out Trans-Nebula ROM. It's how the ui for notes should have been done (Tablet style).

Just got my Note 2 last night. Upgraded from Galaxy NEXUS. My wife had the note 2 since February so I knew how great of a phone it was. Kept my unlimited data as well. It was a win-win. I should be very content for a long time.

My wife picked one up a couple weeks ago. Been running a Pac-man 4.3 nightly from 9/15. Pretty slick.
My absolute favorite accessory for this phone is the Flygrip. Makes it way easier and much more comfortable to use the phone one handed. That with LMT/Pie and I have no problem one handing this phone all day.

I like the two way stand part - I have a stand case now but the UI just doesn't look right sideways, and some things never rotate (like the phone). Any stand makes the speaker phone work better though.
Well got a replacement today, first one was vramc3, but had an annoying buzz in phone calls. New one (from costco) is vrall4, and no buzz that I can hear, yay.
Time to root!
