Thanks for the info. Could you try the attached APK to see if it works more correctly on your HTC Sensation: CapButnBrightness-eymas-01.apk

Note that you must first uninstall the version of the app that you got from the play store before installing this APK. Otherwise this test version will fail to install because it is signed with a developer key which will conflict with the version from the play store that is signed with the production key.

Please let me know how this version of the app works correctly on your HTC Sensation.

Thanks!

Dim is not supported by my kernel > cyanogenmod 10.1 on Samsung Galaxy S Advance. Off and On works perfectly. Its very irritating that those lights turn up whenever I touch my screen! Thank You for this app :)

Oops. I just noticed from the debug information you pasted that I didn't actually implement the fix properly. I added the code to handle HTC Sensation but forgot to actually activate it. Can you try the APK attached here to this post: CapButnBrightness-eymas-02.apk. Sorry about that. Let me know how this one works on your HTC Sensation.

A new beta version of this app is available: v1.0.13-Beta1. This is primarily a bugfix release, but also adds support for HTC Sensation. Please test the attached CapButnBrightness-1.0.13-Beta1.apk and reply with your experiences, good or bad.

EDIT: This is no longer the latest beta version; please use v1.0.13-Beta2 instead: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47322458#post47322458


Changes in v1.0.13-Beta1 (since v1.0.12)
  • fix issue where buttons backlight sometimes turns off after a few seconds instead of staying on
  • avoid cycling through the "dim" setting in the widget if dim is not even supported
  • fix issue where "dim not supported" is erroneously reported on when selecting "off" brightness when dim is not supported (HTC One X international quad-core variant only)
  • correct spelling error in a dialog: brigtness -> brightness

Please reply to this post with your feedback. If reporting issues, please go to the "Debug Information" screen, press the "copy" button, and paste its contents. This will immensely help with investigation of issues.

Reminder: This "beta version" of the app is signed with a developer key so it will fail to install if you have an official version of the app installed. So you must first uninstall any official versions of the app before installing this test version.

A new beta version of this app is available: v1.0.13-Beta2. This includes all of the changes in v1.0.13-Beta1 but also fixes HTC Sensation, which was reported to be fixed in v1.0.13-Beta1 but actually was not. Please test the attached CapButnBrightness-1.0.13-Beta2.apk and reply with your experiences, good or bad.

Changes in v1.0.13-Beta2 (since v1.0.13-Beta1)
  • fix brightness levels for HTC Sensation

A new version of this app is available: v1.0.13. This version fixes issues with the buttons backlight turning off, avoids cycling through "dim" in the widget if not supported, and adds HTC Sensation support. This version has been published to the Google Play Store in the "Pro" version; the free version will be updated to v1.0.13 on Dec 04, 2013.

The free version has also been updated to v1.0.12, and is available in the Play store and the APK is available at: http://dl.bintray.com/sleepydragon/CapacitiveButtons/CapButnBrightness-1.0.12.apk

Changes in v1.0.13 (Since v1.0.12)
  • fix issue where buttons backlight sometimes turns off after a few seconds instead of staying on
  • avoid cycling through the "dim" setting in the widget if dim is not even supported
  • HTC Sensation support added
  • fix issue where "dim not supported" is erroneously reported on when selecting "off" brightness when dim is not supported (HTC One X international quad-core variant only)
  • correct spelling error in a dialog: brigtness -> brightness

NOTE: If you have a beta or test version of this app installed, you must first uninstall it before installing one of these two official versions. The reason is that having two versions of the app installed will interfere with each other. Also, the official APKs are signed with the "official" key, whereas the beta/test versions are signed with the developer key, and if keys don't match then the app will fail to install.

Thanks for the report. I'm honestly surprised, but pleasantly surprised! If you wouldn't mind, could you copy the contents of the app's debug information screen and paste it here? That will help me understand how it works on your phone.

    This small application allows you to change the brightness of the capacitive buttons (back, home, and recent tasks) on many HTC devices and a few non-HTC devices, including the HTC One X (both dual-core and quad-core models), the HTC One X+, and the HTC One. Users have also reported success on other devices, including HTC One V, HTC One S, HTC Desire HD, and Evo 3g. Root is required in order for this application to work. This application works on any ROM, including CleanROM, ViperXL, Cyanogenmod, AOKP, and MIUI.

    App review by Portal Administrator / Editor-in-Chief for XDA-Developers Will Verduzco: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/easily-dim-the-capacitive-buttons-on-many-htc-devices

    Features
    • Intuitive UI to set the brightness of the capacitive buttons to bright, dim, or off
    • Home screen widget to cycle between brightness levels

    Latest Versions

    Latest Free Version: 1.0.13

    Download
    Google Play (Pro version): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.sleepydragon.capbutnbrightness.pro

    Differences in the Pro Version
    The Pro version receives new features and bug fixes 2-4 weeks earlier than the free version. That's it! Oh, and also the free version has a link at the bottom of the main UI to upgrade to pro. The main motivation to pay for the pro version is to get official app updates easily and automatically via the Google Play Store. If you're happy with waiting for updates or using beta versions then you can live a full and happy life with the free version.

    Frequently Asked Questions
    • Which brightness setting is "stock"? It depends. On Sense based ROMs (eg. CleanROM, ViperXL) "Bright" seems to be the default. On AOSP-based ROMs (eg. CM10, AOKP) "Dim" seems to be the default. It all depends on how/if the ROM maintainer tweaked the default setting. The "default default" (ie. if you RUU to stock) setting is "bright". In v1.0.4, a "Default" button was added to allow reverting to stock brightness.
    • How do I get back to the default setting? The most reliable way is to click the "Default" button on the main screen of the application then simply reboot. Or, you can just set the brightness setting that is the default.
    • What happens if I uninstall the app? Nothing. Well, it doesn't change the brightness setting if that's what you're wondering. After a reboot, though, the brightness setting will revert back to the ROM's default setting.

    Known Issues
    • "Dim" does not work on all ROMs and kernels
    • "Off" does not stick when "GV Integation" app installed

    Source
    This application is released under the GPL3 open-source license. Source code is published at https://code.google.com/p/hox-cap-butn-brightness

    Reporting Bugs
    Use the "Bug Reports" feature of this DevDB project or add a post to this thread. Please include the contents of the application's "Debug Information" page (available from the "Settings" screen) when reporting bugs, as it contains invaluable information for developers to use when investigating issues. There is a "Copy" button in the top-right corner of the screen for easy cut & paste.

    Old APKs:

    Feel free to bake the free version of this app into custom ROMs or publish it in other places. No need to ask permission from me. However, I am quite interested personally in different places that this app is used. So if you do include it in a ROM or whatever feel free to post a note to this thread to let me know! The app is licensed under the GPL, which means you can even take it apart and include it in your own stuff... I just ask that you honor the spirit of the GPL (unlike HTC's 120-day policy... grrr!)

    This app was previously managed in several different forums, one per device. As the list of supported devices has grown it has become more and more difficult to manage each thread. As a result, I've created this centralized DevDB project to track all development of this app going forward. Links to the device-specific forums are in the OP, but I'd encourage you to use this thread here instead. Android Rocks!
