[RC4][CAB][SRC]LedNotifications [minor update][03/04/2010]

NEW VERSION RELEASE CANDIDATE 4
NOTE: I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO OFFER SUPPORT FOR THIS APP. I'M RELEASING THE SOURCE CODE UNDER GPLV3 LICENSE.
SCREENSHOTS CLICK HERE TO SEE
LedNotifications it's a event based application that will detect when some applications write in the notification bar and will raise a led event.
The app consists in a:
-background process (lednotifybkg.exe)
-configuration tool (LedNotifyGUI.exe)
Bakground process it's coded in C to maximice performance and memory consumption.Background process will trigger the led events so you don't need the configuration tool to be running.
The application it's now hardcoded so only works with HD2 devices.
How to use it
Just run the configuration tool. Now raise a notification (for example a misscall) and go to configure-> add last active notification. Now select the led and press Add. To ensure compatibility you'll only be able to configure the LAST ACTIVE NOTIFICATION. So if you have 3 notification, you'll be able to configure the last one. To configure the others rid of the last one and do the same again.
When you finish, start the background process. If it's started, shutdown it and start it again to apply changes.
PLEASE SHUTDOWN THE CONFIGURATION TOOL WHEN FINISH WITH THE EXIT BUTTON OR THE BATTERY CONSUMPTION MAY BE INCREASED
Warning: The background process will not start automatically.You should start it when your device it's reset.
SOURCE CODE
I'll release the source code when I get positive feedback indicating that the application has no bugs.Just to release something in good conditions. I'm not a software developer so don't expect too much.
THANKS TO...
MichyPrima for the ManilaSDK
NetRipper for LeoExtendedNotifications source code
WARNING: INCOMPATIBILITIES
To raise an event I delete a registry value that saves the id of the active notification. Concretely HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Shell\Notifications\Active value ID. If you experience any problem with other notification software it can be related with this. Disable my app, make a soft reset and check if the issue has been solved.
MUST READ
I've made an effort coding this application, ensuring it has no bug and fixing it. So now I'm asking you if you like the application please donate to some ONG (ie http://www.supportunicef.org/), so I've helped you with this app, you can help other people with your money . Now you've read this you know that the pword to open the file is donateong
KNOWN BUGS
a) When the bicolor led it's blinking if you rid off some notification maybe it won't shutdown. Please report if this happens to you, I don't know if I fixed it at all.
FAQ
What's the battery consumption?
The battery consumption it's 0!!. The led it's put in an automode so the application it's not responsible of making the on/off process, the app just triggers leds on/off
Why I can't configure led's frequency and duty cicle?
To ensure maximum battery performance the led it's put in an automode. The driver is the responsible to blink the led so you can't configure it. You can still download previous versions but they consume battery power.
Why have you changed the Add apps menu?
With the new system I can't monitor all notifications so I've coded this way to ensure notifications you add will raise an event in the background process.
Why don't you use the netRippers code to blink the keypad?
Because I don't know howto put in automode and this affects battery performance
What's the password for the file?

OLD VERSIONS
Hello!,
I'm here to present my first windows mobile application LedNotifications. It's a general purpose led notifier but designed in an HD2 (so by now only works in an HD2).
The application looks for notifications in the notification bar and let's you to configure a led color. The led will start to blink as soon as the notification icon appears in the notification bar. There's a quicklist to enable/disable apps quickly. The app also lets you to override the power led.
There are some known bugs:
1)the configuration tools sometimes crashes.
2) Slide reported that sometimes the app doesn't work in stanby mode, if anybody knows what the reason could be please write in this post
It will let you configure led email notifications on the HD2!
Use at your own risk, I'm not responsible for the damages that this program can cause to you or/and your device.
Background program can crash and run CPU as high as 90% so if this happens it will drain your battery.I've been working on that so I expect this not to happen but it's a possibility.
Configuration files allow you to use in other devices. Format text files are
on.txt -> configuration to bring led on
off.txt -> configuration to turn the led off
so every file has LED_ID,LED_STATUS_VALUE
in HD2 green led is 1 and on status is 1
on.txt looks like this 1,1
I hope you like the program. I will post the source code soon.
The program does not register to startup so a reset will disable it (and solve any problem related to this)
Lots of thanks to MichyPrima for the manila controls

The app has two executables. One for the GUI and the other for the background. The background process manages leds and it coded in C++. Only around 70kbyte of memory and around 1% CPU . The GUI it's about 2Mbyte but it can be shutdown once you have configured it.

Will be watching this with exteme interest!

Interesting....keeping an eye on it.

Hi htcjordi!
Thanks for the program. I am testing it on my Topaz. It seems to be working perfectly so far. I love the interface.
Many thanks! I will report any bugs I find.

I have a link from the start menu to this so it auto starts after a reset.
So far not too bad... Occasionally the led stays on but otherwise i finally have my flashing email notification
Well done!

Hi! Very interesting application you made there.
I think it would be even more interesting if the 2 settings txt files would be replaced by registry entries.
Thanks for the good work!

I have been testing this for about a day now. I received an email but the LED was not responding. When I woke up my device, the LED illuminated and stayed illuminated even after I removed all notifications and my TD2 was not charging.
It would be nice to be able to configure the different notifications with different LEDs. I haven't figured out how to do this yet.
Otherwise, it is great.

Actually it was easier to do with registry entries but I did it with text files because I think it's more friendly to work with text files than work with the registry. Just in case somebody want to write new files! Anyway I apreciate your comment

Hi mitsi! I figured out that you have a Diamond, I can't test my app with this machine but I'll try to help you.Did your TD2's leds work through the configuration menu? I mean the menu you can configurate led's frequency and duty cicle. If the led is not blinking you'll have to play with configuration files.
You can configure notifications with different leds. Raise some event in the notification bar to list some app in the app menu. Then activate the app pressing the on/off button : it should appear a menu indicating wich led you want to turn on (in my case green/orange). If different physical leds are avaliable (not one with many colors) they should appear with indepentents on/off buttons.
Thank you for all your feedback

If Nimbuzz does not respond I can't do much more . I recommend you to use Palringo instead

How is work going on this?
I seem to keep getting an instant where by the flashing LED stays solid when i get rid of the notification (by reading the email).
I have currently set up a shortcut to the GUI so i can stop/restart it but it's a bit annoying... any chance you can add a restart into the script after the notification is removed?
PS its a HD2....

I'll work on it this weekend. There's a trick to avoid that: get rid of the notification when the led is off.

[APP][UPDATEv1.6.5] Andro+ Call Manager (Backgrounder)

Hi there!
We are two developers who have been following xda for a long time,
We are happy to announce a new kind of Application on Android Market and want some suggestions and testing by xda community!
This is the App's description:
Andro+ Call Backgrounder provides you an important feature that Android System lacks!
CallBackgrounder lets you put in background an incoming call simply by pressing a button!
How many times you were watching a video, playing a game or reading email/website and an Incoming call disturbed your actvity?
With CallBackgrounder you can return to the last app you were using by putting incoming call in background!
The caller will never notice about your action, the incoming call will continue in background and you will be free to carry on whatever you were doing and maybe later answer/reject.
You can find filters based on contacts and apps that let you ACTIVATE CallBackgrounder ONLY for some contacts or running apps.
New Feature: Shake Detection, if activated Popup will be displayed ONLY if you shake your phone!
DON'T FORGET to watch sample video that you can find in Android Market page! Or just go to: http://tinyurl.com/androcallbg
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NEW FEATURE: Tiny Layout and Shake&Background, watch them on last one screenshot or directly on Youtube: http://tinyurl.com/androcallbgnf
Now You can use non-invasive Tiny Layout on TOP of your existing CallScreen Layout! Tiny Layout is not a Popup but ONLY one button!
So what are you waiting for? Try out the app and let us know your opinions!
What's new:
What's new? Andro+ Call Backgrounder becomes Andro+ Call Manager introducing new options, now you can place your incoming call in background and/or reject your incoming call and AUTO-Recall the caller!
*) ON SALE! For limited time!
*) Version 1.6.5 solved a bug when placing in background call on some devices
*) Solved bug: no restore ringer settings on call ending, thanks to Stefan
*) New Name new functions!
*) Fixed Anonymous call bug

I was hoping more along the lines of being able to press the home/back button or something to put the call in the background. I like the stock slide to answer/reject calls method.

Thanks for replying, unfortunately Android System blocks Home Button so we can't override it!
But if you want something less intrusive you can use the "Shake Detection" function that let you activate the Popup ONLY by shaking the phone during an incoming call.
Any other feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
We have just tried it with Go Contacts/Dialer and with Video Caller Id
and it works great with them.
We appreciate any further opinions,

There's a way to press "home" during a call and talk to the person in the background while using your phone otherwise, similar to what the iPhone does. If it's not what the "send to background" option does, any way to add a "pick up but put in background" option?

Hi, its not really an app...Its sort of like a control widget hard-coded into the status bar...Most custom ROMs come with it installed...

Thanks for suggestion,
Can be good an option that allow you to have a notification (in notification bar) to recall your missed call (that you've previously placed in background) by pushing it?
Something like missed call notification but when you press it, it will re-dial your contact?
Let us know,
Thanks,

Hey folks,
Many of you have downloaded and tried Andro+ Call Backgrounder, how it worked? Did you like it?
If you write here your feedback we can improve it!
Thanks to all.

Just tried the demo and so far so good. I just have one suggestion for now. For people who want to use their own dialer to answer/reject calls, can you make the "shake detection" automatically put the call in the background? It's kind of annoying to shake the phone then have to press the background button.

We've just added this features to Andro+ Call Backgrounder,
Update is on Android Market,
more details on first page of this Thread,

I'm looking for app that would completely ignore and send specified calls to background immediately ("don't answer" mode, not "reject"), so i do not even know i've been called. No ring, no vibration, no screen wake up when phone is asleep and not a single one notification when it's awake. Is it possible with root?

Seems possible, however, while the phone is asleep it may not be possible to check the number then background it before the screen awakes and/or rings. Backgrounding certain numbers automatically is definitely doable though.

[APP] Optimus 3D touch LED notifications

Hi,
I've modified Martin Börjesson's app to work on our beloved Optimus 3D.
What does it do, you ask?
It makes the LED under touch buttons blink in interval you select on several events - unread Gmail, SMS or missed calls. Even more, it can listen to notifications generated by any other application.
The app:
can make the LEDs under touch buttons blink after there is a notification (new SMS, mail, instant message, etc.)
can keep the LEDs lit while the screen is on (if you like to keep them shining)
can decrease the timeout after keypress (if you don't like the LEDs shining for so long after keypress)
Requirements:
superuser rights (root)
something to install apk
Installation
1) Download APK from link: O3D LEDs v. 1.4
2) Install with your favourite file manager
After installation it will ask you to grant root rights. It is necessary to ALLOW superuser rights.
Known issues:
Timeout after keypress reacts only on the first keypress. If there are any other keypresses during the default system timeout (~3s), the LEDs won't be lit. (can't be fixed)
LEDs fading doesn't work (and probably never will)
Change of brightness doesn't work (and probably never will)
according to Martin Börjesson "Gmail 2.3.5+ no longer works with the built-in Gmail-check. To get it to work again Gmail has to be disabled in Notifications and then added as a monitored activity (Notifications -> Monitored activites -> Gmail)."
TODO:
Fading
More complex scenarios for LEDs and vibrations
Changelog:
v1.4
added: support for ICS (SU760 port by xbsall
important: you have to check Settings - Display - Front key light - Turn on front key light.
(there is no need to upgrade from 1.3 if you don't have ICS on P920 or SU760. It won't allow the upgrade anyway, because I screwed up)
v1.3
added: simple widget
v1.2.4
added: you can now set the leds' "after keypress" timeout
v1.2.3
better way to check for superuser (thanks go again to Martin Börjesson)
v1.2.2
fixed: FC on start
v1.2.1
fixed: LEDs sometimes stayed on when the screen turned off
v1.2
added: LEDs can stay on while the screen is on
v1.2beta
fix: battery issue
removed: accelerometer something
removed: fading options
v1.1
added O3D support
Big thanks to Martin Börjesson for making his app open-source.

Thanks, I'll try

thx alot...just what i was looking 4!!
sent from the 3rd dimension with my optimus

Installed, can't for the life of me get it working
the "test" works fine, it has super user privileges etc, just no idea what needs activating and what doesn't, by default nothing works

Well, it should work right after installation for Missed Calls, SMS and GMail... Maybe some task manager kills the app? Maybe you don't have active notifications, or you are using different app for messages - it can be added to notifications ("notifications" - "select monitored activities" and find the app you are using).
Also keep in mind that there is default waiting time 4 seconds before the notifications start (it can be changed in settings).

Hi mate, I use Handcent and Gmail (turned off missed calls)
it doesn't work with them (tried with emails)
However, Google+ works fine even though I never enabled that!?
I don't use task killers

Ok, according to Martin Börjesson "Gmail 2.3.5+ no longer works with the built-in Gmail-check. To get it to work again Gmail has to be disabled in Notifications and then added as a monitored activity (Notifications -> Monitored activites -> Gmail)."
If you've activated the Lights notification, then the LED notification will work for every app that wants to notify by LED (maybe your Google+).

yeah, just got my first text of the day and it worked, cheers

If LG - hopefully with a forthcoming update - makes writable the LED's file system instead of keeping it as read only, could we use your build without root/superuser rights, isn't it?

Yes, it should work without root then.

Ok, thanks for the confirmation: I try to push a bit the manufacturer regarding the little firmware mod! If anybody else wanna support the same request, maybe...

It doesn´t work for me.Its says"The app detected that its has no read or write access to a required file.This can be fixed but this action requires the device to be rooted(im already root).This has to be done before the app can be used properly.
I have reintaled and rebooted the phone and nothing
PD:I have instaled in my phone lot of apps that need root,rom manager,titanium backup,chainfire 3D...

Well, you have to confirm that message and after that you will be asked by superuser app to allow root access. and that's all.
If it doesn't work, check if you have file "/sys/devices/platform/keypad_led/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness"

This is the problem, superuser app ask nothing.
I checked the file /sys/devices/platform/keypad_led/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness and is ok.

the app looks for the file I've mentioned, if it exists, it checks wheter it is read-only, then it tries the chmod command to make it writeable and that's when it needs root permission. There is nothing more I can do about it, the permissions must be given by superuser app.
You can try to set chmod 766 on the brightness file manually.

Working But!!
I installed and it worked straight off, one issue though that I had is that it is using far too much battery, so I had to uninstall, otherwise it worked flawlessly.

glad my idea was enough to put a dev to work

[Q] Hangouts SMS no notification after uninstalling Light Flow

Hello everyone,
Earlier today, I decided to try out the Light Flow app (to customise LED notifications). I didn't really like it so uninstalled it again. Since then I've noticed some issues with Hangouts SMS notifications. When someone sends me a text while my phone is locked, my phone does nothing; no sound, no vibration, no LED. When I unlock the phone (just pressing the power button so the screen pops up), the message immediatly pops up as if it arrived just then.
Does anyone know what could cause this, is there some kind of option for this which the Light Flow app turned off? Also, the issue I just described doesn't always happen, sometimes messages just pop up (sound, vibration, LED) as they should, sometimes nothing happens untill I unlock the phone.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Go to SETTINGS, DISPLAY & then make sure PULSE NOTIFICATION LIGHT has been checked. Rule of thumb: Always restart your phone once uninstalling or adding an app that makes such alterations to the software for seemless performance.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The PULSE NOTIFICATION LIGHT is checked. The problem doesn't always happen though, sometimes messages do pop up as they should. Also, apps like Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp seem to be still working as intended.
I also restarted my phone already, didn't seem to solve anything .
I think I somehow need to make sure my Hangouts app will still run in the background when the phone's asleep, no clue how though.
Any other ideas are greatly appreciated!

OK, go into HANGOUTS, hit the SETTINGS tab (3 dots at the top right corner), then click on SMS to check if NOTIFICATIONS is checked & then back out once & do the same with HANGOUTS by clicking on your email name.

Hey,
Thanks again for your clear reply! I appreciate the fact you're taking your time to take screenshots to help me out . I had all those options checked though, so that couldn't have been the issue. I think Light Flow somehow altered my software so other text programs don't run in the background anymore. Although this doesn't explain the fact that most of the time messages seem to appear as they should. I'm lost... :laugh:

You're very welcome. Is suggest downloading LIGHT FLOW once again and see if there's a setting you can unchecked then uninstall. Also check ACCESSIBILITY setting and uncheck LIGHT FLOW. I believe it should pop up in there once installed.

How about clearing data of or uninstalling/reinstalling Hangouts?

I'm having the exact same problem. It also started after removing Light Flow. Did you get it working again? I tried different SMS apps but still no sound when I receive a incoming text msg.

[Q] Real silent mode in Lollipop? [Also Whatsapp/Viber Priority Interruptions Issue]

So, before Lollipop we used to slide the volume down to zero to get in to vibration mode, and press another time to go complete silent.
I used to have my phone in silent mode at work, sitting on the table, because vibration on a table is pretty noisy. I just silenced it and the notification light showed me any incoming notifications.
Lollipop introduced this new "Priority Interruptions" mode, and if you don't have any interruptions set up it is basically like the old silenced mode. The issue is that in priority mode the LED notification light doesn't light up anymore!
So, any help replicating a completely silent and non-vibrating phone showing notifications through led?
Thanks in advance :good:
UPDATE:
If you use a third party app to light up the light while in priority mode, you have to enable his notification access:
Settings > Sound and Notification > Notifications Access > Check Lightflow/Light Manager Access
Also you need the notification app itself to be activated as a priority interruption:
Settings > Sound and Notification > App notifications > Lightflow/Light Manager > Enable Priority
Thanks to sorcio91 on figuring this out. :good:
Meanwhile we found out some apps don't obey to priority rules. Whatsapp is one of them, and also user naelya reports Viber is creating issues. If you find any issue with some other app let us know in this topic. According to sorcio91, dowloading the version at http://www.whatsapp.com/android/ solves the issue.

I have my phone on silent 24/7 and rely on notification light too.. Frustrating they removed a basic feature like putting ringtone/vibrations on silent only..

Glad I'm not the only one having this issue. I use timeriffic to setup profiles, but it's pretty much useless now. At work I usually have my phone on silent and use my watch and notification light for notifications, but that doesn't work now. Looks like the final build is more of a nod towards the N6.
Will tasker get round this?

I have a problem with that too....
And: with priority interruptions active, whatsapp continues to make sounds when notifications arrives...is for you the same?

Had the same issue on the developer preview, but i thought it was a preview bug at that point. Didn't receive many notifications in the last few hours, but i'll see if i experience that also.
Back on the notification light:
Is there anyway we can report back to google? But this is more of a feature request than a bug i think.

Dear friend, i've just found a workaround...the version of whatsapp downloadble at http://www.whatsapp.com/android/ works well with lollipop notifications manager, but if you update or install it from the play store it will (in some strange way) bypass the notification manager and it will "ring" even in priority mode.
Let me know if it works for you...

my whatsapp seems to be working ok, just the notification light thing is bugging me.

Can you please check your whatsapp version number?
Have you tried if lightflow or some app like that does the job for the notifications?

I just tried with a friend and Whatsapp rings full volume in priority mode, even if it's not set up to. That's strange, becasue I thought that ringtone volumes were blocked at system-level.

I use Light Manager but I don't think it's the app fault. The led does not light up even with in-app basic light settings. I wrote to the developer to know if he eventually can override that behavior (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56706374&postcount=2015).
I also have Lightflow PRO from the Play Store, but didn't have time to try that extensively. I doubt it will work though.

That's bad. But it's also possible that Whatsapp uses some deprecated code in the app development that results in this. It's not the first time that this multi-billion company shows examples of really bad app design...

I have just opened a support ticket with Viber for a similar issue.

I have app Light Flow. It work. But seems there is one trick for this. Install Light flow app. Then go in Options/Accessibilitiy and and turn on Lighht Flow Lite!
Please answer if this working for you.
I have find REAL silent mode! Top ****! =]
Just click volume button, and there is priority mode. Just click first option! Or set priority mode. In priority mode you can turn on notification for like SMS, and turn of for incoming calls!

I know that you can use NONE, but that way also alarms are silenced. And in the morning I need to wake up to something :good:
By the way without any third party software you can't have notifications light up when in priority. Don't know if consider this an issue or an intended feature. By the way, with light manager, notification access is also enabled but doesn't seem to work anyway.

I still can't get it to work. I have the full version of the app. I have it activated, no persistent icon (other than the L Preview one it puts on automatically) and then I have set priority mode on with no active notifications...but nothing lights up.
