Is there any way to change backlight color in hardware keys. backlight lits in blue color. i had xperia u which has RGB strip above capacitive keys which has ability to change any anyone upon any action using a 3rd party app.

how can we change button light which app
I don't think so as it's something hardware related.

That's it. There was no way to swap the functions of the keys on my previous phone. I could just turn it on or off. It was useful when you had a blackout and had to look which button does what ^^
Anyway, it was more a nice to have than a must have feature. I probably wouldn't use the back lighting as it sometimes even was brighter than the phone screen.
Or just annoying while watching videos or something.

I'd have preferred it if the backlight was always on when the screen is on, but not a big deal if it's off. I liked the backlights of my Nexus S, they weren't too bright.

so as far as i understand, true black on our screen is turning the pixel off. i've heard that you can get something like a status light that will use only a couple of pixels from the screen to notify in other colors then the LEDs red and blue. what i was wondering is if there is a program or if it would even be possible to have a program that would pop up texts on the screen in the same way. so that instead of turning the whole screen on just the lines of text appear.

I found an app that was supposed to do what you're wanting
However, I found it back when I was running Eclair and it didn't seem to work, never tried it on 2.2. I'll dig around and look for it. I'll let you know the name once I find it.

Doubtful, and you're probably better off just installing the AOSP messaging app and using the black theme.
I do think it is an awesome idea though.

Again, that's not what the OP is asking for.
If you'd like an option for the sms stuff, I'd send an email to the guy who makes NoLed. He seems pretty cool.
As far as the pixels being off for black on SAMOLED, I can see a slight amount of light if I'm in a dark room and my phone is displaying a pure black image.
So, does it really turn pixels off, or does it just cause them to get really (really!) dim.
this would be an awesome capability!

might be the light from the active pixels filtering through the glass.... look at when you boot the phone and the samsung logo pops up before the sprint and galaxy S boot screens... it seems to me that the rest of the screen is completely off.. if it would save a bit of battery when my sms pop up comes on i'd be happy with it. plus it would look sick

There is definitely some light when the screen is showing black in a dark room. And it isn't there when the screen is off/timed-out. I also thought the pixels were off when they are black.
One thing I noticed with NoLed is that it keeps the screen from actually sleeping. It keeps it black but on so it can display the dots. If black really isn't off, then how much power does that use, I wonder.
Lol @ OP ... It's called a verizon samsung continuum....
Seriously, they just emulated the normal 4 android buttons and had a larger screen. It's probably possible, but it would be a little hacky to get it working.
Hi
Which one is better in CM9 in your opinion?
With SoftKeys?
Without SoftKeys?
I don't get why youd even want softkeys, why would you want to waste a portion of your screen with keys that you have already have anyway
i didn't buy a device with a 5.3" screen because i like wasting screen real estate...
i did buy a device with a 5.3" screen because i like wasting screen real estate!
Tablet mode with touch keys is how i use it now.
I even disabled the original menu/back button, cause i touch them while typing.
Soft keys for the multitasking button. With such a large screen we can easily afford to waste screen real estate.
Also softkeys are not good for our SUPER AMOLED screens, they will be permanently burned to your screen after a few months!
No kidding!

So will your status bar.
I personally love the onscreen buttons. I disable the other ones and disable the backlight as well. I do this for the fact that my kids and I would constantly back out of things when grabbing the phone landscape. I like the fact that with the onscreen you have somewhere to grab the phone without backing out. And although not a big deal, its less stress not having to press the big button, and this I would think would help the longevity of the hardware button itself . But in the end, it's purely preference, oh and I don't worry about the burn in as I have mine set very low so its just noticeable and It moves when I open apps and when I go landscape.

That is the main reason why I enable software keys on every ICS ROM I try! When you try on-screen keys you will feel how LONG it takes to launch the recent apps panel using the long-pres on Home button! Add to that I got very used to multitask using the recent apps softkey then physical button will only hinder my speed and will wear out in a matter of couple months
I've flashed the soft keys and disabled the back lights of the hardware keys, but how do I completely disable the hardware keys so I won't press them by accident?

Have to quote this again so people are aware. Amoleds are notorious for ghosting due to pixel wear out burnout whatever you want to call it. Using the ICS on screen virtual buttons will surely destroy your screen.
That's why I also autohide my notification bar on the home screens.

Burn out is avoidable provided you don't leave static images on the screen for long periods of time. With the notification bar it is always there unless you use a launcher that hides it on the home screens and apps that have the option to hide the notification bar as well.
I use opera mobile so I can browse in full screen and not worry about static notification bars. Also use launcher pro so I can hide the notification bar.

I like to use the softkeys simply becuase it allows me to completely disable the capacitive buttons and use my s pen to go back, home and bring up the multitasking window pane :good:

That's one of those old wives tales.
The burn-in isn't so much related to the technology as it is related to build quality.
Most of those issues are stemming from Gnex owners, and the ones with problems usually have other build quality problems too... they just were unlucky to have a bad batch that skipped QC.
I've got a friend who had the Gnex from day one, and to this day... no burn-ins!
I would normally prefer physical buttons (ftw) but I'm going to have to agree that the Note needs "soft buttons" aka on-screen Navigations.
Why?
Because it gets annoying shifting finger to stylus and back again during the daily use.
Bonus reasons:
- without it, the device looks much better (like the Gnex or N9)
- these can be customized for colour, glow, function and gestures
And if anyone has, can you tell us A: what parameters it actually lets you change, B: do these changes apply universally or only in certain apps, and C: if this is actually supposed to affect the physical properties of the display in some way (in the way that the contrast control on an LCD TV might), or if it's just doing a Bravia-like trick and messing around with the pixel values?
+1
I don't really need it, but since lots of people talk about it - i'm curious if it's real, because nobody provided any screenshot/details of this feature.

That's prolly the one and only screenshot that got out on the web. A real test would be great!
Like make a screenshot with unaltered settings then next is try to adjust it and let us see how big is the difference.
I repeat my earlier question: does anyone know what this software actually does? For example, suppose I'm looking at a screen full of white pixels (red 255, green 255, blue 255), and I've used the software to push the white balance towards red; what does that do? Does it actually change the physical display characteristics of the screen, so I'm now still looking at pixels that are red 255, green 255, blue 255, but the screen has changed the way those RGB values are displayed, (i.e. red 255 is now brighter than it was and blue 255 dimmer); or is it simply hacking what is sent to the screen so that what was originally r255g255b255 is now r255g240b220 (or whatever)? And does this apply universally, or is it a subset of Bravia? And is there anything that can be tweaked other than the three controls we've seen in the screenshot?

it's like a mercedes sl...this car isn't the best car, but who wouldn't love to drive it?
but maybe i'm the wrong person to judge about the screen, because i'm upgrading from an htc hd2. and this screen is really old (but i like it, though).

Green is apparently the preferred color for skin reflectivity sensors
Since the actual fingerprint sensor (camera) itself probably creates an inverted image of the light reflected to detect darkness and lightness in an image it probably is solely intended to work with green light.
Trust me I would love a new color. Blue maybe, which are apparently usually the first pixels to go dim and dead in an OLED panel so probably not a good option... Red? Meh
White? Ehh
I personally prefer to not have to have my finger illuminated at all to unlock my phone

Apparently it is possible to change the highlight color I've read about it before but it was really vague on how to do it.
It's probably possible to do with root, as people have changed the color of the actual fingerprint icon, but I wouldn't count on it.
Under display fingerprint readers work best with green shining through.
