Your Welcome
I Hope you like xD
Are we able to control them? For instance, when I get an SMS, that they should blink!?
I was always looking for that, and I am sure many more, too.

It should be possible..
Request an app in the forum or a mod / tweak. I have no time at the moment for developing :-/ (i never have time, because i am no developer hehe xD)

You need to change it on hwconfig, There are the settings, who are read on boot.

I mean that (i thought you know that) but why you dont hit thanks? (it would be
Nice xDD)
Yeah and for the others;
Search your hw_config.sh, open it as text and change it instead of 255 to 1.

has anyone else realized theres autobrightness control in hw_config? I changed it from 1 to 0 which I believe means off and I think theres no more auto brightness. I cant see the screen flickering like before.
the settings revert after phone reboot for me. work around it by creating a script and run it automatically using script manager on system boot
Code:
chmod 666 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 666 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_current
echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_currentSimilar threads

Supported Devices:
In this thread I'll show you how to disable the button backlight on your Xperia device.
Step-by-step:
1. Mount /system as read and write, i.e. RW
2. Go To /sys/class/leds/button-backlight and change max_current to "1".
3. Go To /system/etc/hw_config and scroll down a bit. Now change max_current to "1".
4. Reboot. Buttons Light will not light up anymore.
I made a script. Check it out! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2342987
4To completely disable LEDs backlight
This is a general solution for XPERIA devices so the file and the line could vary according to the device you use
1. Go to folder /sys/class/leds/button-backlight
Set brightness file value to 0 and
Set max_current file value to 1
2. This step will persist the values after reboot and completely disable the LED backlights
So, go to folder /etc
Open file hw_config.sh
Go to line "echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight/als/enable"
Change echo to 0 like "echo 0 > $dev/button-backlight/als/enable"
Now Go to line "echo 900 > $dev/button-backlight/maxcurrent"
Change echo to 1 like "echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight/maxcurrent"
Below procedure actually work for me on my XPERIA Neo V (MT11i) with codename 9 ROM
XPERIA Neo V has two backlight behind home buttons one coded as rgb1 and other as rgb2 I'm going to disable both
1. This step will persist the values after reboot and completely disable the LED backlights
Go to folder /etc
Open file hw_config.sh
2. Go to line "echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight-rgb-1/als/enable"
Change echo to 0 like "echo 0 > $dev/button-backlight-rgb-1/als/enable"
3. Go to line "echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight-rgb-2/als/enable"
Change echo to 0 like "echo 0 > $dev/button-backlight-rgb-2/als/enable"
4. Now Go to line "echo 900 > $dev/button-backlight-rgb1/maxcurrent"
Change echo to 1 like "echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight-rgb-1/maxcurrent"
5. Now Go to line "echo 900 > $dev/button-backlight-rgb2/maxcurrent"
Change echo to 1 like "echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight-rgb-2/maxcurrent"
6. Reboot ( Changes will not take affect until you reboot the phone ).3But is this the right Forum? Because, its no Question, and no Development in any way, so should i have posted it to general?33[Q] Which Values I can Use?
[A] Well, Between 0 and 255, 0=OFF and 255=max Brightness and 100=dark and 200=light
far as i know 1= Off
0 = max brightness
always works
And i always set it to 1
