Description

This is a simple app to let you choose how long the capacitive buttons (recent apps and back arrow) at the bottom of a Samsung Galaxy phone stay lit. You can choose a time duration, always on when the screen is on, always off, or reset to the default duration.

The app will not work when you have power saving modes turned on. The device takes complete control of those backlights in that situation.

Added a day/night theme for Android 6+ devices so the interface will get dark at night. Added a material compliant icon as well. (This may break when it goes to Android N, but only time will tell!)

A new version was required due to Android permissions issues compiling against SDK 23.

It has been tested on Verizon models of Tab S2, S6 Edge, S7 Edge, and Note 7. I'll add other confirmed devices after people comment about them.

The app will not work on non-Samsung devices or on Samsung devices that don't have backlight buttons. The Galaxy Tab A line is an example. Those devices have no lights to turn on or off. The app will not work with custom ROMs. It has to be a standard Samsung ROM for the app to control the lighting.

App does NOT require root. It requires permission to write system settings so the changes can be saved. You will need to set back to Default in the app if you want your original timing. Uninstalling the app alone will not revert it.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

4 ★This app is a necessary thing to avoid blinding light. If I could have a dim option and as short as 15 or 30 seconds, I'd give five stars, even pay. Darn Samsung, if you can't customize the lights, don't include capacitive keys. This dev came to our rescue.
5 ★I have been looking for an app to turn off those function lights for such a long time. Thank goodness this was created. I can now read and surf in the dark w.o hurting my eye bc of the bright lights. Thank you!
5 ★Could not be more simple. Could not possibly. Full customization of softkey lighting in four choices and one [save] button. Only need one choice, though. Hell with those softkeys that are hard on the eyes. Only other way around it is by turning on Power Saving Mode.
5 ★The buttons on my s7 annoy me when using it at night. They annoy me even in the day. There's no reason for the button lights at all since you know where the buttons are. Glad to have this app to always keep them off.
5 ★Usually I use my phone on low brightness in the dark a lot, and holy toilet those button LEDs were bright! im glad that this app helped me turn them completely off, I know the position of the buttons by heart so i dont nees those eye piercing lights anyways! Thank you Dev!!!
4 ★Honestly this app is great. It saves my poor eyes from being blinded in the night by those awful keys! I do wish there was a way to set it up so that it automatically turned off the lights at certain times though.
5 ★I use my tablet primarily as an ereader for reading in bed. Just bought a brand new Galaxy tablet and was ready to return it after the first night because of being blinded by the Back and Recent App buttons lighting up every time I flipped pages. Downloaded this app and was able to shut off that feature, but I can easily turn it back on if need be.
5 ★Thank you! Samsung dev remove this from the phone system, i haven't the slightest idea why. Thanks to this app, my backlight can be always off now. Wanna give you 50 stars but alas, can only have 5. So, here you go..
5 ★Oh my god, thank you so much! I was using this in the dark and every time I scrolled it felt like my eyes were burning out of my skull. THANK YOU!
5 ★Thanks to the developer for creating this app. And Samsung, what the hell, I liked having that option in the past with other Samsung devices. Not a smart move to take that away :(
5 ★I like to read before sleeping with a dim blue-free screen setting but the button lights always irritated me. Lo and behold S7 took away the beautiful feature to turn these unnecessary lights off. Simple app that does exactly what I wanted. Thank you.
5 ★Just installed, confirmed functional on Galaxy Note 5 running Android 7. I like to play games at night before I sleep... I would try to hide the bottom of my phone with a blanket! haha... This Note 5 has crazy bright buttons. So glad to turn them off. 🙈
