[APP] LeoExtendedNotifications, blink keypad on missed call, sms, email, more [v0.92]

At request of the people in this thread, I made a small app that blinks the keypad when there are notifications.
If you also use KeypadLedControl, you may get some irregular blinking during notifications. Nothing serious.
Features
- Blink keypad on: unread sms, unread mms, unread e-mail, missed calls, reminders (if rom supports it), voicemail
- Configurable via registry & seperate Config application
- Notification timeout after X seconds (300=5min by default)
- Stop notifications after unlocking the phone (only works on compatible lock screens)
- Temporarily stop notifications during phone call
- Configurable blinking sequence (also per notification type)
- Configurable time between repeating sequence
Changelog
v0.92
- Some small fixes by 3dfx
v0.91
- Hopefully fixes issue where keypad wouldn't blink on notifications if there were no specific sequences for that notification type configured (in registry)
v0.9
- Added configuration application
- Popups now automatically close again after a second or so (except for errors, they stay)
- Added nicer icons in start menu/sense (if you're using WM6.5+, might require device restart)
v0.3 to v0.8
- App configurable via registry
- Add support for reminder and voicemail notifications
- Notification timeout after X seconds (300=5min by default)
- Stop notifications after unlocking the phone
- Temporarily stop notifications during phone call
- Configurable blinking sequence (also per notification type)
- Configurable time between repeating sequence
Additional credits
Big thanks to 3dfx. He added a lot of features as you can read throughout this thread.

Thanks NetRipper.. working fantastic here. I wonder if this could make the keypad leds defective over time...

i am also a little bit worrying about eventually led malfunction when using it all the time.
however i would like the idea to be able to configure a notification timeout.
imagine you get a mail late night and the leds would permanently flash until next day.
best regards, Olioaglio

Thank again Netripper.

Nice addition. Thanks. I see Disable notifications after X minutes is at the top of your todo list. That's fine by me

Really hope Disable notifications after X minutes are made fast

I'm not really worried by that. I think they're regular LEDs and they have an awesome long lifespan. Also the light doesn't really look bright, so I think the leds are very far from being stressed. Although I don't guarantee anything (obviously), I'd be very surprised if any keypad light would break because of this.

I have a little problem here!
I just put your program in my startup folder and now it blinks all the time, although I don't have any missed calls, unread SMS, MMS or email.
What's wrong here?
Already deleted all my messages just to be sure
EDIT: Oh wait, now that I have gone in my call history, it suddenly stopped.
Strange...

Thank you for this great app NetRipper!

thanks to Netripper I don't need the green led to flash any more but can't turn it of tried to turn it off in BSB tweak but it still flashes anyone know the reg to disable?

Works like a charm, thanks!

Very cool.
Cheers mate

just email?
Is it also possible to have just the bar flashing for email only?
Nothing else?
since that is the only notification that isn't working at the moment..
Thanks.

Works Fine.
Thanks.

Hi NetRipper. I have a Touch Diamond 2 (Topaz). When I run the LeoExtendedNotifications_calls_sms_email.exe program, my LED's blink continuously even though I have no notifications of missed calls, emails or SMS's. I have tried the trick by xILukasIx of visiting my call history page, but this has no effect.
I have a WM6.1 stock rom and (if it makes any difference) I use Phonex (which I prefer) and so have my HTC dialer disabled to save ram.
I would love your program to work on my TD2 if possible!
Thanks
Edit:
I think I have solved it now. I created a mortscript to run your program NetRipper. So far, I have managed to do this with emails only. My mortscript goes:
NOTIFY = RegRead (HKCU, "System\State\Messages\totalemail\Unread\", "Count")
If (NOTIFY = 0)
Sleep (2000)
Run ("Program Files\Mortscript\LED.mscr")
EndIf
If (NOTIFY >0)
Run ("Program Files\Mortscript\LeoExtendedNotifications_calls_sm s_email.exe")
Sleep (2000)
Run ("Program Files\Mortscript\LED.mscr")
EndIf
Obviously I have put the above mortscript in the Program Files\Mortscript folder and called it LED.mscr. I have also put your program into the same folder.
Thanks again for your program - I really like the outcome!
Edit 2: No, it doesn't work.... Any ideas anyone???

Here I leave the download link in order for you to have a try. Please give us your suggestions to make this app more useful for our users. We are appreciate your comments, thanks! Check the attachment to download

I use it and it's always worked great.
I used it when an stock froyo 2.2, and I still use it for missed call and Gmail, and for low battery with CM6 because I find CyanogenMod's implementation of color alerts buggy at times. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Blink always has worked for me. Using a Google Nexus One. The only thing that has never worked is changing the incoming call color...but I don't think Android allows it or something...not sure.
Thanks for the great app.

Used it for quite a while now and like it.
My only request would be to add support for more notifications.
Specifically one for Gmail, so the Gmail notification color can be changed.

It works ok, but I always hv to force close it otherwise the led keeps blinking, even after I hv cleared the missed call/ missed message. Seriously this bug has to be fixed. Thanks!
P.S. My machine and ROM are listed in my signature.
Is this version the same as the market version (1.7)?

FINALLY...
I’ve been using it for a long time now
Here are my comments:
1- Sometimes it doesn’t show me any indications at all as if it stopped working
2- Keeps warning me that I have sms even though I don’t have any new sms
3-Need indications for Gmail, Gtalk, twitter and facebook
NOTE: my phone is Nexus One Stock froyo 2.2.1 unrooted

Would be nice if there where some kind of test button so we don´t have to wait for an incomming mms sms phone call and such to see the blinking speed and color.
EDIT: tested it and it seems it dosen´t work for the Desire with CM nightly.. to bad tho.. looks like an nice app

I've used blink for several months now. Some of these points have been mentioned, but I'll say them again:
1) I like the LED on low battery option, but there needs to be a way to disable both the notification (in the top bar) and the popup that occurs on low battery. I don't want those, I just want the glowing trackball.
2) There should be more options on the LED triggers. Example: Different colour for email/gmail.
3) I'll watch next time I get a call to confirm this, but I'm pretty sure the trackball glows the default white on incoming call, not the blue I've set it to. It does glow blue for a missed call. (I'm on a Nexus One with 2.2.1, unrooted).

Cool, thanks for all your comments here, I keep it to my note and our tech team will make it in the new version to see if all the requests can work. One thing be sure is now it seems that Blink works fine on most Nexus one phones, but other android users don't worry, our tech team will make it work soon......

I used it without any problems on stock froyo on my unrooted nexus one. However, I think it might have drained a lot of my battery.
Since I am rooted now, I just use the cyanogen settings.

I used this for a while on my N1, but, at some point, the LED began flashing even though I had no new notifications, and the only way to make it stop was by killing the program. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it didn't help. After that, I had to uninstall the app so it wouldn't drain my battery.
I loved it when it was working properly, though! If you guys can figure out some of the bugs, I'd definitely download it again. I miss the different notification colors

It has worked well for me but I don't think I can vary the speed of the led blink. It always seems to be the same speed no matter what I set it to. Otherwise a great app.
A similar app also claims to affect the charging LED, could you add this feature? Their app doesn't work for me and I think it requires root. I'm not rooted and I think you may need root to affect the charging LED but if you could add that it would be great. Especially being able to switch off the charging LED when in night mode!

Any more suggestion ?

It's a very useful app!
After the latest android 2.1 upgrade on my SE X10 mini pro I have some issues with call led notifications though: On my phone missed call notifications work only if incoming call led notifications are also activated (and only when the screen is off). I cannot choose the blinking speed anymore.
As others wrote before I'd love to choose the led color for Gmail notifications (possibly in a different color than sms etc.)
Some useful functions may be to let people customize the notification colors based on RGB values/color chart, assign different call notifications colors for different people in the address book, calendar reminders, etc.
Keep up the good work!

Just the Gmail notification. Maybe even custom colors for certain apps but Gmail for me is the biggest. Thanks for this app! Im willing to pay for a pro version with more features XD

I've found it's not working for me anymore since upgrading to 2.2.2
I had 2.2.1 and it worked fine, now I have a rooted copy of stock 2.2.2 but nothing is working. I made sure no charging was taking place but nothing happens when I use the test features.

It was working fine for me on 2.2.2
If you're still taking requests, Nth-ing the GMail option!

[Q] How do you disable S Planner?

It's weird.. I can't disable it from my s6 Application Management, the option to "Disable" is greyed out. When I go into the S Planner app > Settings > Manage Calendars to switch off all the calendars it's grabbing from my google account.. something turns the calendars back on. Force stop, clear cache, clear data just re-enables S Planner again.
I prefer Google's Calendar app as my main calendar and because I can't disable S Planner I get double event notifications. Has anyone been able to turn it off? I'm not rooted.

Use debloater program for pc (use search on this forum). Install it, then connect your phone, wait a bit and scan packages. Look for S-planner and click the box next to it and click apply (this will disable the app). You can do this without root.

I simply disabled notifications

Thanks Juzh, I'll look into that.
In regards to the last post. Can you post where to disable that?
Sent from my SM-G920I using XDA Free mobile app

Go to application manager ... In settings. You can disable notifications for many apps (which stops them running in background as well as solving your s planner problem)

OK however my S Planner notification option is checked but greyed out to disable. Does yours toggle? Could be something wrong with my phone. Anyone else can disable like the last post mentioned?

Just go into the Samsung calendar app and turn off the notifications in the settings

There are a few ways to do this it seems. There is a setting called App notifications. Find S Planner. Click on the cog wheel for settings.
Turn notifications off.

This happened to me too!
I tried to switch over to google Calendar, but got double notifications. I wanted to uninstall it, but that was not possible. So I went into the permissions of the S-planner app and turned off all permissions.
From that point on, it kept sending me notifications that I had to give S-planner permission to read the calendar and other items. I couldn't even go into the app itself and tell the app to stop making these notifications because it would keep popping up a message that I had to set permissions to read calendar and then it would return to the main screen of the app.
In the end, I resigned to allowing it to read my calendar and then from the app itself turn off notifications.
So I still have the app, but i no longer have double notifications.

@Mainow, I have this too, it bothers me greatly. Did you get this fixed?

jjust use titanium backup and disable it their without truning off notification or something its called freeze in titanium back up

Package Disabler Pro
I use Package Disabler Pro. I used the free version for a bit but do like being able to kill S Planner, S Voice and all those other little hard to kill apps that come on the S6 (and S7). In the end I bought the app, but it was pretty cheap. Oh, also does not need root.
Hope this helps.

Thank you kindly msstockham

Well, I no longer get double notifications and s planner has stopped complaining about being able to read the calendars. So yeah, it's pretty much fixed. Only thing is that I would have rather just uninstalled s planner, because it's still there

Whoa. I haven't been on the forum a while. I thought I would have gotten an email if someone replied to my message.
Sorry for the VERY late answer
In short, no, i never got this fixed other than what i described. S-planner still is able to read my calendar, but I muted the notifications from the app itself

Lightring Outer Display

Hello Community,
I have a question.
Has anyone noticed the LED Ring around the small outer Display on the Z-Flip?
It only appears briefly when the Device is plugged into Power.
I asked Samsung today how to activate it for Notifications.
They answered with a "thank you for the Idea..." message.
Can one of you experts write a mod to possibly use it as a notification LED? Similar to the Galaxy S10 and S10+ Camera Notch LED?
Thanks in advance for the Feedback.

Might be worth summoning @Jawomo on this one. He's the genius behind the other apps you mentioned. My Z arrives on Wednesday and I'm happy to help with testing etc.

In

I just noticed that on the wireless charger. Cool.

This ready yet?

stupid really to not have the possibility to configure the outer display for notifications, I don't want to see the battery % or date and a smaller clock would be enough and then notification icons, in my case I want the outer display being turned off all the time and when a notification arrives it lights up, like how you can configure @Jawomo AOD app.

Note you can see notification on the out display on the Flip
1) Enable edge screen -> edge lighting -> while screen is off and enable for apps that you want to alert
2) for the apps they need to alert as "pop-ups" otherwise it will not show on outer display

for that cool lighting effect to along with the notification info - I am not aware of any way to do this (via public APIs/hacks).
thanks

can't get it to work, I still have to wake the screen up to be able to see if I have a notification, I want it to be turned off all the time and when I do get a notification it turns on and stay on until I read the notification, the inside display works like that when I'm using the AOD app by @Jawomo.

The best thing is to have an application that shows the always active led type notifications, on the external screen.
We hope they can create it.

How do I turn off audible notifications for email and messages?

I've been playing with the phone since yesterday, but I keep on getting all these loud notifications and can't figure how to stop them. The phone is in the OEM LED wallet case.

For email, I just go into my email app (I use Gmail) and under alert tone I just select none. As for text notifications, not sure, without turning off system notifications all together. Maybe select a different, less irritating alert tone in the system settings?

Thanks,
I found Manage Notifications for each email account and selected Silent for the Gmail account. Gonna check on messages now.

I have my work email set to vibrate only. So I set the notification suond to silent. It's an option when you're choosing the notification sound. That's the easiest way.
That way you still keep the notification etc, but it stays silent.

This phone is driving me crazy. I'm coming from the Note 9 which only gave audible notifications when the phone rang. Now I'm getting sounds for all different apps. It is distracting and annoying. Samsung should have put in one setting to turn off all audible notifications except for phone calls. The interruptions out of this phone make it unsuitable as a business device.

Why not just turn the notification volume down if you don't want to hear them? That's what a volume slider is for isn't it?

I think also if you set the default notification to "none" that will take care of 95% of apps. Only ones that wl still have a sound are ones that provide their own notification sound, like eBay or Facebook.

I've just figured out how to do this today and it's actually really simple lol, seemed to get rid of all audio for notifications. Go into Settings > Ringtone > Sound and Vibration and then to notification sound, choose the sim and scroll to the top for Silent.

I'm having trouble too. I want to enable silent notifications and choose which apps are audible. I haven't been able to find a way to do this.

Just change the notification sound for each app. The ones you want to be silent, just set the notification tone for those apps to silent. Some apps have the settings in the app. But you can find all notifications in Settings > Notifications > tap "See all" > then change the drop down menu from "Most recent" to "All".
Then in the list you can find the apps you want to change the notification sounds for.

Folks, Thanks everyone for your help. Following your advice I was able to mute everything except for the phone call ring. I went to the following:
Settings
Sounds and Vibration
Volume
Notifications
Then I just reduced the volume there and all is well.

These tips are all fine and dandy, but i'm getting notification alerts when my phone simply rotates from portrait to landscape, answering and completing phone calls, opening and closing ANY app, etc etc. I'm also coming from a Note 9, and none of this garbage occured on that one. Only difference between my 9 and 20 ultra (aside from the model), is that my 9 is a factory purchase and my 20 from Verizon.
As an afterthought, since I use a bluetooth device, is there a way to have an audible alert on both the phone AND BT device? I can apparently only choose one or the other with this new UI. If I choose the phone, no notification sounds come through the BT headset, and if I choose the BT, no audible notifications come through the phone (oddly, 'some' notifications come through my watch, but not always?).
Again, none of these issues were present in my Note 9. I wonder if there's a way to transfer system notification settings from my 9 to 20....
