[GUIDE][DISCUSSION] Saving battery on CM9. Disable Haptic Feedback+Hw Button Light

[HardLight]

Here are tips which will highly extended our P500 battery life​

Haptic Feedback (vibrate when unlocking phone from lockscreen,
dragging apps to desktop, selecting photos in gallery, using some apps or games, etc.)
is a hardware process that uses lot of energy so its big battery drainer.

To disable faptic feedback in CM9 and all ROMs based on it:
Go to Settings>Sound>Quiet Hours>check Enable quiet hours>set start from 00:00 to end 23:59 and check Disable haptic feedback.

It will disable the haptic feedback for all apps.


Hardware Buttons Backlight is another battery sucker and I think for most time it's totally useless.

To disable it just flash attached zip.

EDIT: Method with changing value from 255 to 0 in max_brightness manually doesn't work properly,
because it resets to 255 every time restarting the phone.

#!/system/bin/sh
echo 0 >sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness
chmod444 /system/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness

Hardware key backlight reset back to normal after reboot even setting to read only. A script on boot would make it apply everyboot (init.d)

Yes, I noticed that too, so edited 1st post. Put script in init.d and it won't reset to normal anymore
