[APP][10/11] Capacitive Button Brightness v1.0.3

[Anas M.I]

This small application allows you to change the brightness of the capacitive buttons (back, home, and recent tasks) on the HTC One X. Root is required in order for this application to work. This application works on any ROM, including CleanROM, ViperXL, Cyanogenmod, AOKP, and MIUI.


Changes in Current Version

Brightness setting now sticks across reboots

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which brightness setting is "stock"?

It depends. On Sense based ROMs (eg. CleanROM, ViperXL) "Bright" seems to be the default. On AOSP-based ROMs (eg. CM10, AOKP) "Dim" seems to be the default. It all depends on how/if the ROM maintainer tweaked the default setting. The "default default" (ie. if you RUU to stock) setting is "bright".

• How do I get back to the default setting?

The most reliable way is to disable setting brightness on reboot and then simply reboot. Or, you can just set the brightness setting that is the default.

• What happens if I uninstall the app?

Nothing. Well, it doesn't change the brightness setting if that's what you're wondering. After a reboot, though, the brightness setting will revert back to the ROM's default setting.

Known Issues
no visual indication when buttons on the ui are pressed (other than the capacitive button brightness changing)
ui button images are scaled up and look at bit pixelated
awful error message displayed if not rooted; should instead say a message like "you are not rooted... sucka"

Please if someone encounter the same problem post here so that we can help each other..

And sorry for my english

Unfortunately your app doesn't work on my One X running ViperX 2.71.

After I push the buttons in your app, it asks for root, but after that nothing happens.
Button lights don't dim or disable.

The flashable mod on which you built your app does work, so I dimmed the buttons using the mod.

:good: Good luck with the further development of this app! :good:

v1.0.3 of the app did not support the International One X (endeavoru). I am the original author of the app and just added support for the International One X in v1.0.6. See this new thread, if interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033973. It actually works on your device now

OP: If you read this, could you change the title of this thread so that it doesn't get confused with the official thread? Also, could you edit the OP to link to the real thread right at the top? Thanks for promoting my app, but unfortunately it did not work on this device when you created the thread. I don't want people to see this thread first and give up right away when v1.0.3 doesn't work. Thanks!
