This is looking improbable. You can disable them but they just pop back on when you touch the screen. I wish they weren't tied in.

They're not that tied in, when using screen filter it shuts them off until they are used again. But I get what you are saying.

I wish the vid was a complete teardown to show how you got to that point. Overall it looks simple enough.

it would have been but i cant find my tri pod and i shot this video in full 1080p with my D7000
I can remove the screws in the casing but how does the screen pop away from it? Did you just let the wire for the lights hang or is the wire removed completely?

and voodoo color doesnt affect them so they just dont look right with the awesome low gamma offsets some of us use. they look washed out like on a stock kernel. ruins the whole theme of the phone. i still havent gotten used to not using them, cuz i switch between roms so much, but id love to at least be able to disable the lights.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium3Id say for those of us who plan on keeping our epics for the next couple years, this should be a focused topic. Either disabled, or controlled, I know for sure something can be done with them. I'm going to start tackling this tomorrow. School always takes up my time :/
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA2From a linux based standpoint there is only one legitimate option. That is to run your script and then wear gloves which hamper the output of static electricity from your fingertips, so that you can surgically apply DUCT(or your preferred brand/type) TAPE over said lights without them turning on, in which case your script works, and peoples woes go away.
Trololol.
