Swap recent and back keys and kill the lights on both buttons.

Having used Samsung's before and other devices, I've become accustomed to the back button being on the right.

I was hesitant about changing this as it would mean that you'll have a back symbol on the left and recent's on the right, even though they've switched, which would look a bit crap to be honest.

Anyway, disabling the backlight's will make it look a lot better whilst you have your buttons swapped :)

To do this you'll need to be rooted, that's it.

Download a text editor capable of altering system files, i personally used QuickEdit which is free in the play store.

Once that's installed

To disable the back light go here with a text editor.

/sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness change the number in here which will be 255 to 0.

This will switch off the lights immediately.

If you'd like to swap out the buttons so that back is recent and recent is back,.

Go to cypress-cap-sensor.kl which is in

system/user/keylayout/cypress-cap-sensor.kl and find then simply reverse the text from the following two lines (there's only two in the file anyway)


key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 580 APP_SWITCH VIRTUAL

to

key 158 APP_SWITCH VIRTUAL
key 580 BACK VIRTUAL

Reboot the device and the keys will be switched

Enjoy ;)

Thanks to @LeeDroid for putting me onto the location of the recents and back button file. :good:
