Soft Key Backlighting

---

I've started using my phone for watching movies at night. The soft key backlight is blinding me!

I've looked around for information on this problem and the closest solution I've found is the LED hack on the app market. The problem is, it requires root. Has anyone found a different way around this issue? Would temp-root work?

I used leds hack on my dinc for a good while till I had to replace my screen. Once I took the phone apart, I unplugged the leds from the bottom. If you're ok with voiding your warranty, go for it.

But I don't think it'll be possible without perm root.

Keep a roll wherever you watch the movies...

Try changing the angle of the device slightly, if you can. I've noticed the backlighting on the softkeys aren't consistent and for them to be at their brightest, they have to be facing directly at you.

There is a free app in market called screen filter. it will allow you to toggle your backlit keys.

I just found this thread, looking for a solution.
Neither Screen filter, nor LED hacks work on my rooted Dinc2, and the backlight for the softkeys is always on, even when I put the clock into night mode. Is it supposed to be this way, or are they designed to turn off in certain situations?

MIUI video player shuts off the lights when playing video.

I'm running the Virtuous Unity 2.3.5 Rom, and it has a glitch in it that I can live with.

The soft key lights don't work at all. I've gotten so used to it, I hope that when they find out what the problem is, they turn it into a on/off function instead of removing the glitch.
