Default [MOD] Extended Soft Key Backlight

EDIT: Well just found out it is limited to a short.....Which is around 32 seconds.... So 32 seconds is the max you will have.

FILES AVAILABLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST.

Ok after going through a lot of lines of code and i mean a lot, I give you all


Extended Soft Key Backlight (15 seconds to be exact)


If using a theme with a white status/notification bar (bubby's rom) then i would wait till i make this custom for it... This will give you white text in the status/notification bar.

I am using JT's clean rom and it works fine.

If something happens to your phone.... NOT MY FAULT

Now for the release

1. MAKE A BACKUP (JUST IN CASE)

2. INSTALL THE MOD OF YOUR CHOICE (10 SECONDS,15 SECONDS, OR 32 SECONDS (WHICH IS MAX)) WITH THE "APPLY SDCARD:UPDATE.ZIP" OPTION IN CLOCKWORK RECOVERY

3. WIPE DALVIK CACHE IN THE "ADVANCED" MENU IN CLOCKWORK RECOVERY. IF YOU DO NOT WIPE DALVIK CACHE YOU WILL NOT GET THE UPDATE

4. HAVE FUN WITH YOUR FASCINATE THAT HAS 15 SECONDS OF SOFT KEY BACKLIGHT!

5. It will take awhile to boot (1-2 mins.), so don't be worried




I plan on adding different versions of this, 10 seconds, and a really long time one... If I get enough requests.

Time to get some sleep now.

Did you use the .ko in the hardware file? I was looking at this. Excellent work!

no i had to edit the services.jar file. I was trying to do the source files but JT told me he thought it had to do with the services.jar file.... He's always right.

I went through 100+ files and a bunch of code (in HEX) to get it working.

Default cool

I am trying this now. This is will make my wife happy, one of few major annoyances she has with the device. Now if you could just move the power button to the top.

Is there any way of tying this to the screen backlight timeout?
