Help Soft key lights always on

[philco]

Hello, I bought a rooted sensation and it seemed really good ... until I realised the soft key lights are on all the time and battery life is awful.

It is rooted with ARHD latest version and running ICE with the APEX launcher. The lights are on even if I use the HTC Sense launcher.

I've tried battery out/in several times and have tried the 'Screen Filter' app which has a facility for turning the soft key lights on/off. The app says that feature doesn't work on all phones .... that's true ... it doesn't work on the sensation.

I'm a complete newbie to rooted phones and so wanted to try it and see how I got on .... and it was going so well!!

I see mention of a led light app in a post but don't see a link to it or an app on the play site.

Any ideas anybody???

I just found this on the XDA developers site in response to somebody asking pretty much the same question as me. Can somebody please tell me how I add this script to run on boot. Thanks.

#!/system/bin/sh

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

In my case it disables them completely but you can replace the 0 with a value that suits you best and that will be your maximum brightness and it's much less invasive of a change to your device
