Here's a convenient way to turn off (and then back on) the button leds on our X10 from recovery.
Those are the leds at the bottom of your X10, not the notification led.
Thanks to Adolf1994 for the original script.

It can also be done by copying/deleting a single file instead, but it's more convenient to use this from recovery after installing a new rom.

The new version is for the CWM Recovery
It installs in init.d and includes a solution for roms using Fera Engine v10. On those roms permissions of the brightness file are changed after anything in init.d is run so the nobuttonleds script is also run at the end of hw_config.sh.

CWM version
Should work on any rom with working /etc/init.d or /etc/init.d and hw_config.sh
Tested on:
DiXperia X/10 with DXEngine

Xrecovery version
The /etc/init.d folder needs to be properly working on the rom you use. (thanks to My_Immortal for pointing that out!)
tested on:
- WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread
- ThJap's 2.3 ThGo2 v1.3

If it doesn't work on the rom you use and you have root, try this:
- add this line to /etc/install-recovery.sh (check first if busybox is in xbin or bin):
/system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
or
/system/bin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
- another way is to use the Script Manager way explained here.


Installation
- copy on your SD card
- start CWM Recovery or xRecovery, install as custom zip
The change is permanent: the button leds will be turned off everytime you boot until you install another rom or you decide to turn them on.

AlgerK70, could it be that you already copied noled.sh as 50-noled in /etc/init.d ? If so you need to delete it first, or else the leds will stay "on".
After booting, turn the screen on then off to see if it works.

It's the 2 white leds between the hardware buttons. The ones that are so annoying when reading an ebook in the dark on low luminosity because they keep turning on :)

Thanks, I just used part of the original script from Adolf1994 and made this xRecovery package.
You can of course add it if it works on your rom (if it works please tell me, I need to add it to the list of working roms in the first post)

Please try it, "ButtonLedsOFF" only copies one file to your phone, it won't overwrite anything. To "revert" if it doesn't work, install "ButtonLedsON" and it will remove the file. Please try, and if it works, report here, thanks :)

The exact same thing that my script does + disables the notif LED that is burning my eyes at night like the flames of hell could never if the phone is on charger :D

In PM I sent you the solution:
Code: 
echo "\n\n# Darkness by Adolf1994\nDIR=$(cd /sys && find | grep brightness | cut -c 3- | cut -d : -f 1 | head -n 1)\nLED=/sys/$DIR\nLED1=$LED:rgb1:red/brightness\nLED2=$LED:rgb1:green/brightness\nLED3=$LED:rgb1:blue/brightness\nLED4=$LED:sled/brightness\necho 0 > $LED1\necho 0 > $LED2\necho 0 > $LED3\necho 0 > $LED4\nchmod 00444 $LED1\nchmod 00444 $LED2\nchmod 00444 $LED3\nchmod 00444 $LED4" >> /system/etc/hw_config.sh



Not to misunderstand OP, just providing details.

    Will it work on Wolf's TW Gingerbread without wiping his tweaks?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    It should work without affecting any tweaks since the script is only to disable the hardware led and nothing else. I just now tried the zip file after updating to his v3.9.0 rom and it worked fine. I guess some init.d scripts does work on gb.

    No Button LED Light in Wolf V6.0

    Wolf V6.0 busybox version = 1.19.2, and can be found in both \system\bin and \system\xbin (not sure why).
    Wolf V5.0 busybox version = 1.19.0, again found in both folders.

    My not so smart method is to replace these files in V6 with those in V5. Once done, flash the xRecovery-X10-ButtonLedsOFF.zip as per normal. And it works just like that!

    Here are the busybox files from V5:
    Replace the file \system\bin\busybox with - http://db.tt/d8dxQESk
    Replace the file \system\xbin\busybox with - http://db.tt/nWZ7vNOg
    * rename the files back to "busybox", and change the permission (rwx r-x r-x) after you paste it into the folder

    Other notes:
    I tried installing busybox 1.19.0 using Busybox Installer directly, but it did not work (only installed into one folder either bin or xbin)
