Disable leds between hard buttons
- Thread starter argnom
- Start date
sorry but i get this error :
cannot create device/plateform...../leds directory nonexistent
unable to chmod /sys/...: no such a file or directory
any idea ?
thanks
I use my phone for astronomy and the white leds destroy my night vision so being able to turn them off really would be useful.
It doesn't seem to work here, when I press the power button again the leds turn back on.
This doesn't seem to work either, all it does on my phone is make the screen darker.
Thanks for trying to help though, but I suppose I'll just carry on covering the buttons with tape for now.
I just tried it and can confirm it now works.
You have no idea how happy this has made me, thank you very much!
Indeed, I updated the post with steps for the init.d way, although less advanced users may still prefer the comfort of a GUI.
@Anseldor, absolutely, to run as root you need root. It works on 2.1 and 2.3. Rooting 2.1 is as easy as launching Flashtool on your computer, but if you have a X10 try installing WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread V3, it's the stock 2.3, pre-rooted, optimized, and with a few extras ported from Arc. The latest version as of today (V3+Speedfix3.1) is very fast and stable.

2Screen filter has an option to disable hardware backlights, have a look in the market. Works great for me
Sent from my X10i using XDA App2Disable the button leds automatically at every boot (not my script)
*root needed, works on 2.1 and 2.3*
Edit: Thanks to Adolf1994 for the original script!
New: xRecovery solution, but doesn't work for all roms.
xRecovery Button Leds Switch
Universal solution, only requires root:
- copy noled.sh somewhere on your SD card.
(important: use Unix end of line, if you don't know how to do that download the file attached to this post)
- install Script Manager from Market, open it, browse to noled.sh, open it, check "run at boot" and "run as root", and don't forget to click Save.
(use Unix end of line)
Code:#! /system/bin/busybox sh DIR=$(cd /sys && find | grep brightness | cut -c 3- | cut -d : -f 1 | head -n 1) LED=/sys/$DIR LEDB=$LED:sled/brightness echo 0 > $LEDB chmod 00444 $LEDB exit
/etc/init.d solution, but doesn't work for all roms.
- explorer with root capabilities needed, for GB users you can download Estrongs File Explorer from the market, open it, open the settings and check the two root options
- copy noled.sh to /etc/init.d and optionally rename it to 50-nobuttonleds or **-nobuttonleds where ** is a number between 00 and 99 that is not used by another script in the folder
- reboot, if you still see the button leds:
- 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
and try again1Touch the power button to bring up lock screen(dont unlock).
Touch power button again, led's should turn off.1
