Is there any way to flash / blink the camera LED on call / ring / sms ? - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Hey everyone,
I want to flash the camera LED (Not the notification LED) on incoming call , message , and SMS / MMS .
I have tried just about all the free apps on the market attempting to do so, with no / little luck. Some just don't work at all, and a few will flash on TEST mode but not actually work when ringing. [Edit: Some work great on SMS / text but NOT ringer ... wtf ???]
I found one or two that will flash AFTER the ringer stops, but not consistently and nothing works like it should. Also nothing will actually flash while the phone is ringing. I tried Flashlight Notifier but you have to pay for PRO to use the ringer option, which I am afraid to do since nothing else worked....
I am using ViperOne 3.2.1 on HTC One M8 -- I have also tried the VenomTweaks settings of notification flash and added people and phone but that doesn't work either.
A few apps that I tried have Accessibility on/off service, which I have enabled and still no luck.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks !

You want it to flash as often as the notification led or just once when the initial notification comes in?

Well, just flashing on the original incoming call would be great.
In a perfect world mirroring the notification LED, at incoming call, on voicemail, sms and text all would be nice but all I really want is to flash while the phone is ringing....

I plan on working on some stuff this weekend, I'll add it to my list of things to look into, I know the leds can be controlled via a init like we did on the xoom's charging light.

Awesome, that would be cool...
I know zero about Android code, but in my head it's just something like:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Rintone_Activate call Flashing_Timer
On Ringtine_DeActivate (Halt Flashng_Timer | Camera_Flash_OFF )
Module Flashing_Timer (
:Loop
Camera_Flash ON | Wait 1,1
Camera_Flash OFF | Goto Loop
)

So... Quite a funny outcome here...
So unless you write an app including permission to access torch, if torch is turned on in anyway (outside of an app with permission) the screen turns off...
So what I did was wrote a nice little script to monitor when /sys/class/leds/green/blink so when it's set to 1 /sys/class/leds/flash_0/brightness is echo > 200 for 500ms (half a second) then echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/flash_0/brightness . However because of what I have found when that does happen the screen goes black for a second while torch is flashing.
Il keep working on it to see if I can get something a little more usable.
Still having an issue monitoring /green led

ok so this is what ive come up with for the time being, since i see no foreseeable way around the screen flash issue, and there for dont see a point in dedicating more time to this.
download tasker.
create a new profile.
select event
select file
select file modified
type
Code:
/sys/class/leds/green/blink
then back out and create a task.
label it what ever you'd like
press the + and select code
select Run Shell
in the command field type
Code:
echo 200 > /sys/class/leds/flash_0/brightness
the check the box next to Use Root
back out and click the play icon bottom left, this will prompt you to allow su access.
all done, now in the phone settings under sounds and notification select what app light notifications you want to use, and whenever the green light changes from on or off status the torch will flash once.

[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

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+).

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

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

[APP][ROOT][2.3+] CamaMind tools for missed call

Hi,
I have a Htc Desire with Android 2.3.5 (rooted) and the problem with clear or cancel missed call notification (MODIFY_PHONE_STATE permission) with alternative dialer app (go contacs,Angel Dialer).
So I develop a simple app that is configurable for intercept missed call, launch customizable notification with reminder and go to default dialer phone resetting system missed call notification.
But for this target, the app must install under /system/app, otherwise, as a normal app, the 'clear missed call' is not functionally. I use SSHDroid or ES File Explorer for copy apk in system/app e run install.
Reboot your phone.
I have tested this app only on my device. It's my first app, but is working for my case.
who is proposed as a beta test?
thank you very much
Manny
Notes
I'm not responsable for any damage provided by this application.
Probably some bugs left, provided for testing purpose.
Functionality
Cancel missed call notification if you use alternative dialer app
Repeating alarm for missed call (Sound, Vibration, Led)
Repeating alarm for new SMS (Sound, Vibration, Led)
Requirement
root
Installation
Just copy CamaMind.apk under /system/app
Changelog
2.0 : Complete code review for bug fixing (or for add new bugs?!?). Please feedback me.
Thanks, it is working great with the ROM in my sig. and exDialer!
Only think I would like to ask to fix, is that when pushing back button after viewing missed call log, it first returns in CamaMind menu and I have to push back button again to clear display.
wow, way too much permissions for what the app is doing:
- SMS?
- Internet?
- Contacts?
- Standby Mode?
Please provide some feedback on why you need all these permissions.
Hi,
I want to tell you that I did not believe that the application was being used (we hope).
I fixed the bug reported by Jolas.
Report for permission:
for monitoring call and sms in input : READ_PHONE_STATE
for reset missed call: MODIFY_PHONE_STATE
for open calls log: READ_CONTACTS
for led in stand-by : WAKE_LOCK
for receive and open sms apps: READ_SMS | RECEIVE_SMS
Thanks all.
Manny
Thanks, but what about internet?
I really don't see why the app has to connect to the internet...

No LED Notification
I tested your app but I had to delete it again, when it is active I don't get LED notifications for missed calls (haven't tested SMS).
Also I have to tap the notification 2 or more times to have the other, call notification cleared, which is not that bad, but still annoying for an app that should make things easier, but the no LED is critical for me.
I think you go in a good direction, some more tweaks (settings to turn on/off SMS notif for example, bugs as mentioned above) and your app might be very helpful once finished, it really is very annoying to have to clear the notification when not using stock dialer!
another method of clearing missed calls notifications with other than stock dialer is described here and is working very well:

In theory, the LED should light blue color. On my device the LED lights green, but lights! Becomes blue until after the second round notification, and if I clicked on the default notification of missed calls. Can you make a test?

Sorry for not coming back to you earlier.
I have now tested your app again and the notification LED works as well as the implementation to choose not to run when an SMS is coming is great!
Only issue I still have, and this is kind of a real dealbreaker, is that your app seams to work only one time.
I miss a call, I get 2 notifs, yours and from phone, i click on yours, both get cleared and I am in my phone app (dialer2), so far so good. Now, when I get another missed call, I again get both notifications, but when I click on yours my phone app opens but it doesn't clear your nor the phone notification. I have to manually clear them (as is the case without your app).
The next missed call, the phone notification says 2 missed calls and yours is there as usual, again not clearing when clicking on it. After I go into yout apps settings and disable and enable it, all works again for one time...
If you sort out this issue, then your app would be perfect for me!

[Q] tasker with CM10 to illuminate buttons on notification

hey guys,
i am trying to get tasker to illuminate the capacitive buttons on my HTC one x when a notification is received. i have a shell script that runs the following with root permission:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_ssbi.0/pm8921-core/pm8xxx-led/leds/button-backlight/currents (found this in forum here, sorry i dont remember the user who posted)
i have the profile set to trigger on notifications, and i left the owner field blank so that it will trigger on any notification. When i test the shell script, it works fine, but the profile does not seem to be triggering at all when a new notification arrives. i tried setting gmail or google talk as the "owner", but still it doesnt trigger.
does tasker not work with cm10?
thanks

Tasker works. I use it every day (to silence my phone for class and such) so you can probably rule out Tasker/CM10 compatibility issues being the culprit and look to your script.
thanks for the input stnguyen09
the script line itself is working fine. if i just set a timer for like 15 seconds and then run the shell script, i see that it works fine and triggers after 15 seconds
there seems to be a problem with it recognizing notifications or something

Makes sense. Sorry I can't be of more help. Best of luck.
oh snap its working now! i just rebooted the device.. no idea why it wasn't working before
edit:
in case anyone else runs into this
for google talk notifications, you have to change the app package name in the xml to com.google.android.gsf (from here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/tasker/BxWZseScZoc/l4mDqb-11bgJ)
Please share so this is like bln?

Wow so is this like the built-in notification in CM7 for missed calls/txt etc? Does it have any limitations? Can you post a brief how to? Not familiar with tasker.

Could I turn-off phone automatically?
Turn off requires root privileges. We plan to add them both, but for now no power off is not an available action

I would like to use the triggers
- disconnect from specific wifi network
and
- leave location (fence)
Now you can only trigger on a network or a location (I'm guessing on connecting or entering, it's not really clear in the software)
I'm assuming they'll be added in the near future?

Remove Ads?
Just installed the app, I'd heard about it yesterday and just didn't get around to installing it. Like the look and everything so far. Question: I hate ads, is there a plan to do a Pro version or within the app pay to remove the ads on the bottom?
I've got no issues with paying for a good app and I think this is definitely a good app, but ads drive me crazy and I'll just uninstall any app rather than use it that doesn't give me an option to get rid of them.
Thanks in advance for any reply! Great work otherwise!

We are going to add an in app purchase to remove the ads in the near future. We wanted to provide the app for free yet cover some little costs like github hosting and developer accounts. I know they can be an eye sore at the bottom, but ideally you only need to see them once or twice. After we are set up you shouldn't need to come back into the app for much.

It would be nice if you could make use of Activity Recognition. If "Driving", then disable Wi-Fi. Is this possible? Maybe in a feature version?

We've started playing with activity recognition. We just want to make sure its stable, accurate, and battery safe before implementing it.

We've started playing with activity recognition. We just want to make sure its stable, accurate, and battery safe before implementing it.

The one task I would like automated is that, when I come home my Wifi hotspot turns on.

Would like to see the option to use secure settings as an action. Great app. Thanks!
Great app with good User freindly UI unlike Tasker which is too confusing.
Just 2 issues,
1-Why there is no Ringer Volume option in Action ? it seem it is basic thing one would like to do lower the volume of ringer at home and higher outside. I see all other volume option except Ringer.
2- I want to set a location base Triger but the map never load i only get the white page,i see GPS icon kick in my status bar for 2 sec and then disappear but no map loaded,. When I open Google map app it is working perfectly. any idea what is the issue ?

Hey thanks for trying the app. Call volume is the ringer volume.
Do you have network connectivity? I'm not sure why it wouldn't show the map. Unless it was not connected to the internet or the apk was signed with a different cert.

Thanks for the quick reply, You should rename the Call volume to Ringer Volume is people will get confuse. Because Call volume is some thing else it is the volume that is during a call.
I do have the internet, I am at home with WIFI also the google map app is loading normaly. I will check if it is not xprivacy which blocked something it shouldnt

Ok for map it was xprivacy which was blocking access to the internet. Now it is working.
I have a set a profile for home, location based, I am home right now and I see nothing get changed and there is nothing in notification either. How to run the app ?

Did you save the Location Trigger? Is there one listed in the Profile'sTrigger list? Is your GPS enabled? How about WiFi and Cell Location? If your device can not get a lock on your location there is no way for it to fire. Once a Location Trigger is saved we should handle the rest.

No Display On Incoming Calls

I looked around to see if any other thread was made about this and I could not find one. So I apologize if this as been asked before. But - does anybody else having issues when your phone rings, the display does not light up? It remains black? The only way to see who is calling is either press the power button or use the Pixel Print sensor.
This is the only time I have an issue with display. The proximity sensor is not the problem, the phone is not in a case - and I turned auto lock time up to 5 minutes to make sure its not a lock screen issue. Can't find anything in the settings that would turn display off on an incoming call.
Same here got it starting last week. I think it's the phone apk

I have discovered the same issue, but it only occurs when my phone is connected to a Bluetooth device. If I disconnect the Bluetooth device the screen comes on for an incoming call. Must be a new feature they have added.
I removed the latest phone APK and the issue went away. Updating to latest APK again, v15.0.179075669, the issue comes back.
I contacted Google support and they offered to replace my phone. A bit excessive I think as to me it looks like a software bug.
My wife's Pixel 2 started doing the same thing. She complained to me about a week ago. I'm glad I found this thread, so it seems to be a software bug.

How do you remove the latest phone APK? I'm having this exact issue - tried troubleshooting with Google and they wanted me to do a reset of my phone, which (a) I don't think will help, and (b) I don't want to reset everything! This is an annoying "feature" - there should absolutely be a way to override this default, if this is indeed the intended functionality.
You go to settings and then you go to your apps then you go to phone and then after you click into your phone on a top right corner is three dots you click on that and select uninstall updates... That's how I fixed mine until they put out an APK for the phone app that actually works right.

pixel 2
same problem here!
I only got this for Spam calls so far
Yesterday it was a call from a local store that was calling me to let me know that my order was in. This morning, it was my daughter's school's automated system calling about school delays. Both of which required me to turn on my display to see who was calling.
I've just placed a feedback comment from within the phone app so google can take a look into it.

I discovered this while connected to my car bluetooth as well. However, there was another time when only the ambient display showed a small phone icon and the name of the caller with the words "incoming call" next to it. The rest of the phone did not light up.
It sucks because the caller ID does not transmit to the car's screen, so I'm answering blindly.

It's the same for me. I have to press the power button to see whose calling me. I thought it was just me. Glad to see I'm not the only one!
It drives me nuts!!! Same here. The screen doesn’t lights up on incoming calls whem bluetooth is actively connected.
Just happened today....going to try turning Bluetooth off and check it out....
I had the same issue, and after googling around I found only one solution - factory reset. I did it and it works.
But after that playing with the settings I found where was the problem and You can fix the problem without Factory reset.
Go to Settings - Apps & notifications - App info - Phone - App notification and there you should enable Incoming calls.
Under the Incoming call should appear the text *Make sound and pop on screen*. If *No sound* appears, then click and hold on *Incoming calls,* then click on I*mportance* and finally click on *Urgent*.

I followed your instructions, but all of my settings were already correct and I still have the issue.
Having the same problem here too. It's especially maddening when I'm riding my motorcycle with the phone connected to BT headset. There are very few people that I want to answer the phone when I am riding and with the phone in it's mount I can't easily hit the power button with gloves on to see who is calling.
Hopefully it gets addressed soon. In the mean time there a link to an existing complaint thread that I can add my voice too?

I can confirm for myself that after the last update for the phone app or maybe even the one before it that mine displays properly even when connected to the bluetooth.
