Dark Keys for 1.5 Firmware

Does anyone know how to get dark keys application working on the 1.5 firmware (cupcake)
Is it something the app developer needs to do and if so does anyone know where i can reach him to ask
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513772 go here for app <<

it has to be done on the developers side and if you download the program through market the go to its details and scroll down to email developer.

already sent an E-mail to the Dev asking for the source code. He said he was going to get it uploaded.

cheers
Thanks guys

any luck on getting it to works on 1.5 yet?

Someone needs to make a new version of this app. one that doesnt keep flicking on and off like dark keys does. would be nice if it just remembered whether it was on or off and stayed that way until changed.

whats the darks key？black key？

Would it be possible to have a uer option to have the backlight on or off based on the time of the day?

Hm, they disabled a lot of programs abilities to change settings like wifi/gps etc, dont know if this was one of those settings (REALLY hope not since you cant change it in android settings either).
Really need this app working for 1.5 :/

That's a really good idea but we need to get it working with 1.5 first

Anyone seen any updates on this anywhere? His webpage seems quiet as well. Thinking about looking into this myself, but it'd be a lot easier with his code.

Nobody saw the source? It is explicitely posted on google code..
Here is the link:
http://code.google.com/p/darkkeys/

Did not actually see that, but I dont think it's possible with 1.5 firmware, I looked into it a bit myself, trying to construct hardwareservice jar file for 1.5.
//edit, that is, not possible with the normal hardwareservice way, it'll still work fine on rooted phones.

Rename to darkkeys.apk and install normally. Works only on rooted phones for 1.5 unfortunatly, and it's only debug signed.
Upstream bug tracker here : http://code.google.com/p/darkkeys/issues/list?updated=2&ts=1241446083

This is a disaster for white G1s!
Do I really have to root my phone just to be able to see the keyboard? What are Google playing at?

haha thank you so much i have been waiting for this for a LONG TIME!

Seems they changed detection on whether or not the keypad's open a bit as well, I'll see about making it more reliable sometime today.

Attaching new one, same procedure, rename to .apk and install directly.

What's the point in this?

Bronze G1s suffer from the same problem. So here's another vote for "change timeout based on time of day" feature. Preferably something configurable and togglable. Thanks for your hard work, guys!

trackball

is there anyway to make the trackball light up for txt messages

Yes, but it would require the creator of an sms app to make it happen.
About a week ago I found what command needs to be sent to our phone to control the trackball, but the creator of handcent or chomp would need to add that command in to their app.

I was wondering that just the other day - not so much a toggle in the system, but I was hoping someone would make an app that would utilize the trackball light. It would be cool if it would blink with a txt message.

Handcent SMS has a option for this

I see an update for handcent in the market that states it works on the hero now. Will test and report back.
UPDATE: Yeah, its a no go with this version. I thought maybe someone sent the developer the commands that would make it work. The timing seemed perfect for this scenario.

Ive been wondering the same thing. Thanks ill check out that app now. Ive had a nokia 6300 for a while and the LED's oni the side flash when i have a txt or a missed call. Id like an app that does something similar to this

Well, I have that version of Handcent installed, set the tackball to light up every 5 seconds and still no luck it doens't work

Hey flipz first of all thanks for the AMAZING work you are doing around here, I really apreciate it.
Second of all, would it be possible for you to get in contact with the developer of Handcent and tell him about this commands? Or even if I can be the messenger and let him know one way or the other? I think this would be a nice add to any Message app.
Thanks in advance!

I just sent an email to the dev with how to do it. I'll let you all know if I hear back from him/her.

Tried out the new version today, still a no go with lighting the trackball on our CDMA heros.

When I was researching the Hero prior to Sprint getting it i saw on a Youtube video that the trackball would blink for some alerts. Guess Sprint thought it was frivolous.

Yea. The option is built in and can be trigger manually. We just don't have any apps that currently use it or trigger it properly. The location of the trigger has changed slightly from the GSM Hero which is why apps that currently do support it for that phone don't work on ours.

honestly, just uninstalled handcent. I could not deal with the slowness of the scrolling plus the frequent issues with MMS downloading.
trying out sms popup along with picsay to see if this is a good workaround.
why can't everything just work and work fast!? oy!!

Hey guys,
Flipz sent me some code yesterday to tinker with. I was planning on working on this tonight. I will let you know tommorow if I actually have any luck getting it to come on in a test app.

Has anyone tried the new version of handcent? To see if the developer included the trackball suport? It was release today i think. Version 2.9.22

That sucks! The Eris's track ball pulses when i get messages of any type or phone call. I think it has to do with the carrier. But i don't know alot so don't quote that.

Just to update you guys I was working directly with the developer. He sent me 5 different test builds but couldn't get the trackball working. He seemed a bit distracted while we were talking though because I kept having to tell him stuff that I had already said. heh.
kcarpenter and I are still working on a work-around, but I haven't been able to help him out much between being out of town and now working on the kitchen.

Thanks for the update flipz!! Maybe the Eris configuration for the trackball can help?

@Daveli, maybe you are familiar enough with the phone to pull the LED directory of the Eris. Post it up here with a zip?

Seems like whatsapp is serious into getting onto our phones

Those in the whatsapp beta for Android should update your software ASAP, because they just put in push functionality for everyone with a 2.2 phone. Is this the only software so far not from google to actually use the 2.2 push function? (C2DM and the likes do not count)

how is it different to what its doing now?? i shall update soon after i finish charging

It doesn't poll like the old version anymore, and after some testing, I am getting my messages a little faster, because there is usually a 10-20 second delay when the app is sleeping, but this time it's like a 2-3 second after my friend sends me the text via whatsapp.

ahh right so there would be better battery life too??

Is the beta app available? Have they mentioned a release date?
Thanks

Whatsapp is probably one of the most useful apps for someone coming from a blackberry and misses BBMs. The difference is the speed but the main upside is that it's crossplatformed. Also the app is good for people that travel and have an open wifi spot. Free messaging to friends back home is well worth it.

Nope, but it should be within the next few months, it's already very stable other than some of the extra stuff like backgrounds, etc.

Yeah, since I have quite a few friends with an iphone and BB, I'm able to send them messages via my data plan.

AppBrain's Fastweb Installer uses C2DM too for installation of applications from your PC browser.
Anything that uses C2DM is immediately interesting, I'll check it out!

It's not using the same type of 2.2 push unfortunately.

hows it different?
EDIT: also seems like there are sometimes big delays between messages. whatsapp keeps disconnecting in the new version

I had to revert back to an older verison I believe. Newest version yesterday kept logging me off also and messages were stalled until I sent one out then they'd all come in.
Looked on the changelog and they took off the "Push Notifications"
Currently running: v1.0.6138

I'm using whatsapp on 2.1. working pretty well so far. ... thinking of getting 2.2 but no sense UI ROM for hero yet.

can we have a link to the apps apk?

Aww man, they removed push notifications via C2DM and the reason was they need to give google a quota? I have no idea what that means.

http://beta.whatsapp.com/test/7/WhatsApp.html
* google push disabled -- we need quota from google

really, what's the difference/advantage of using C2DM. i dont understand what's going on in the background.

Yepp.... just downloaded the APK from the link provided above... You can download and install it, but when it asks for your display name, you will get a message that says "Unauthorized beta user, DO NOT E-MAIL US", or something like that.
That's too bad because I loved it on my BB to chat with my iPhone friends, you would think that it would be easier and faster to create an app for Android and it would already be out in the market !!

it works!! everyone gets that message just wait till tommorrow and try again and it will work. Heaps of people have had success using this method. dont give up so easily

updated yesterday and they've been approved for the push notification via GOOGLE's c2dm.
Only thing i've noticed is that the app unlike iPhone's version doesn't time out while it's in the background. So it seems like you're always logged in. This could be corrected by a task manager app to kill the app but once you receive a new message it auto logs you on and double check marks the message as read.

A. I am limited to what colors and rates are provided by the system.
Q. Are you using all of the available rates and colors?
A. Yes
Q. Will this work with my current SMS/MMS app and do I have to disable any notifications?

Q. Do you have a Twitter account that I can follow to track your progress?
A. Yes, take a look at http://twitter.com/#!/jgw310

I'm running Fresh 4.004 and just uninstalled the previous version I had, then installed this one, and its not working when I test it, although I haven't got a text yet. I'm assuming if the test function doesn't work though, an actual text wont matter.

LOL. This looks like a rip. This looks exactly like one of the previous versions that Noxious Ninja released before he decided to just make the new layout that's in his newest version.
OP, prove that this isn't his work and that you're not just trying to take credit for his work.

Doesnt seem to be working yet. Tried multiple test methods. Used the built in method in the software itself and also sent myself a text message. LED Still doesnt come on. I am running the rooted leak of Sense GB.2.3.3 with the stock kernal. Hardware 003

this IS an updated version of what Noxious Ninja is doing, I am just trying to make it even more stable than his version... i love what he is doing, and hope he continues to work on WiMax Notifier.
Included in my version, different from his, is that in mine it should work with ALL BFS kernels!!!!! while i personally do NOT reccomend BFS kernels, if thats the way you want to run your phone, more power to ya!!
I appreciate you watching out for other devs, it proves that there are some fair people in this world!!!

Okay, so other than BFS support, what are some reasons to update to this version? I mean, the one I'm using now works most of the time. Don't have FCs, but it seems that the service stops running randomly. Is that fixed in yours? If so, I'll update my ROM with it.

For the most part i have noticed that it works about 97% of the time, and i really dont see random stops for the most part, i would probably reccomend updating to my version.... make sure you hit up V1.1.2, i just released it about 30 min ago!!!
the installation instructions are in the first post, but i can just tell you here to make sure you know that you HAVE to uninstall your current version, and THEN install this version, otherwise you will get an "installation failed"

Smart Protection.ALPHA

are there some annoying guys at your house?
you dont want them to mess up your phone dont you?
well, here is the app that you are searching for.
it simply works as a motion sensor, when the phone/tab is moved, the phone/tab will produce a loud noise.
please note: I AM STILL WORKING ON THIS APP, so there might be some bugs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
this app was tested on:
Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000
Samsung Galaxy S2
mike2nl had tested it on:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Overcom 1.2.2
HTC HD2 Leo Nand with CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V1.7
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before running the app, make sure your phone is not on silent mode, also make sure that orientation lock is off (if you use version 1.0)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
please download the NEW version (Smart Protection 2.2)

thank you sir

@MR.zero:
that sounds amazing and it likes not real, because there was once an app in wm6.5 times. Named Stop Motion or something like that....
Your idea and the 1st version is more then i had expect here. I had used it all the time for my wm phone. Because we have some strange people coming in and coming out while we are very busy by our customers, so this was allways cool. And now you . I will test it under real conditions.
Question:
- will this also run on the sgt10.1 3g version? I think well because you use the motion sensor, and so far what i know from the sdk, it is the same call. Or i am totaly wrong?
- i think after the first tests my question is anwsered by myself ;-). Ok some issues about screen resolution but this logical at this alpha state.
1st test 10 minutes after the download:
- device: SGT10.1 3G (it was a must for me ;-)
- app installed without any issue from sd crad
- app started
- the app is shown only in the top of the screen and then in the middle (logical it is for the 7 inch tab)
- i has to scroll a little bit up to see the START button. Start pressed and then i have waited 10 seconds
- then i have moved the tab from the table and was walking 1 1/2 meter and now my neighbours are awake (it is 30 minutes before midnight, sh..t)
- result: it is working!!
Ok for an Alpha Version is this a very good result.
- Some ideas about settings (sensity, rotation,...).
- Some ideas about screensize (auto size function - landscape and portrait mode). This for the 10 inch version ;-)
- and a lot more, but i will wait for the next version, and i will test this now under real condition.
2nd test 15 minutes after the download:
- device: HD2 Leo NAND CoreDroid HD V1.7
- same way of using as in test one
- result: it is working!!
I think this little app has a great feature here on XDA. Congrats so far!

THANKS!
i will try to re-design the app, so it would work on the galaxy tab, and also any other device.
i will also re program the app so it would become more sensitive
the update might be available soon

the new version is here!
here is whats new:
1-Smart Protection is now much more sensitive, it no more depends on the screen orientation.
2-resolution error on other device solved.

Jesus, MR.zero... that's really fast. Ok will try it out tomorrow on my work at the customer. This will be fun again. I'll report then tomorrow evening, when i am back at home. But 1st... Thank You.
A hint:
because the possible fast and often update(s) of your app in the 1st time now, you can add the latest download to the first post.
Or write it down and a link in which post we can find which version. Also the changelog in the 1st posting. Looks professional and cool ;-).
And that helps a lot, for shure...
You can also add the SGT10.1 3G with Overcom 1.2.2 and the HD2 Leo Nand with CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V1.7 to the tested or testing devices ;-).

ok, thanks for the nice tip

This is an awesome idea for an app. Thanks for making it, unfortunately, I personally have no use for it. But if I was still working, or lived with roommates, or in a dorm, I would most defiantly use it. But I will still follow your updates and help test.

Version 2.2 is here!
The error in the last version was:
The 'turn off' button wasn't actually working.
This error is now solved!
hope you like it!

Thanks dude, I often put my tab on my working table for tethering my laptop. since my office is placed in front, so there's a handful people going back and forth the office. I seldom close my office door, so this app works for me
I put it on the tble, and i started the app. I press start protection, press home and turn off my screen. I lift it up, shaking it all over, err, nothing happened.
tried again, started the app and then i found that the protection has been turned off again. so i press start protection again, and this time i didn't leave the app. i lift it up and it works
pretty cool app
just curious, can you make it run in the background so it will still works even if i close the app? or maybe make another independent app that u can put on launcher dock for automatically turn it on/off
when u press it? (like screen off app)
but still , thanks anyway

Hey Mr.zero I also have one or two suggestions so far.
Is it true that someone tech savy could just turn the media volume down or quit the app to stop it? It only runs in landscape mode and doesn't fit the screen on my P1010.
Apart from that, maybe letting it run in the background would be enough for this app to alert you without the need to make it complicated!

The error in the last version was:
The 'turn off' button wasn't actually working.

Mr. Zero, thank you for the update, and yes i had seen that. I was away for some days and i had have a lot of fun in russsia by a customer. My tab laying on the table and i was a way sometimes for some seconds and everytime i heard the noise, that was really funny. The guys are running away when the alarm goes on. He, he... i will test now the new version.
