[App] Hero Notifications - Removed LEDs 10/12/2009

Sounds like Fictionles worked the bugs out. You should try his version, it is fully functional LEDs for Hero. They work almost exactly the same as on cupcake.

HeroNotifier: 10/12/2009
-NO LEDs on this version.
-Repeatedly Vibrates and Plays Default Notification Sound after missed call, incoming text message, gmail, or calendar event.
-Set the time between notifications
-Options to turn off vibrate or sound notification
-Obeys silent and vibrate mode
-Will not conflict with Fictionles awesome new HeroLED.

if I installed HeroLed.apk do I need to uninstall that before installing this? thanks! great work!

Yes you would.

i downloaded it, downloading again..

Jinx could you give a little more info on how to drop this in.. would i just flash this ,adb or somthing other?

In the zip file is a file with an .apk extension.
You can either copy it to the sdcard and install with a free program like Astro file manager from market, or you can ADB install it.
One way to ADB install if you use adb.
- Copy file to c drive.
- open cmd prompt
- type adb install c:\BlinkingHeroLED.apk
Should be all there is to it.

ok let me give it a go with astro since i already have it on the card..

how does this really look like? any SS?

Attached app provides a bright blinking purple LED for HERO.
The LED begins blinking after a missed call or incoming text message.
It also has charging LEDs.
Must click on the created notification or the app shortcut to kill the flashing LED. The blinking LED will auto kill itself when the phone is answered or a new call is made.
Most of the thanks for this goes to Fictionles, Zillode, and Shafty. A lot of the code in this program comes from them.
I will probably clean up the code a little later. It appears to be fully functional but has not gone through much testing. Obviously, use at your own risk.
Reboot after install for charge LEDs.
Sorry for double posting but thought this may deserve its own thread.
Source and app in included zip.
First file posted did not have the blinking text messages. I don't think anyone downloaded it.

I was just testing a new beta that I cooked up with BLAZING purple lights. I think they are pretty cool. Will probably include this if it's OK with the author! ?

Absolutely. As I said in the first post, much of the code came from others.
Keep in mind, code is still rough because I haven't had time to polish it or really test it.

its working !! im using it with smspopup still needs mothers shinola but hey it blinks and then sends a kill text. it worked when i called,and texted myself thanks !!

Nice work
I really appreciate this. Thank you to all that have been working on this. Finally!!! !!! !!!!

This works awsome. I dont know if this can be done at all but could you make it so when you hit the kill led notification you go to your messaging app

it works for me on my g1 but my friend who has mytouch says it doesnt work for him. is this only g1 compatible? thanks

Are you running a Hero rom on a G1?
Which Hero rom are you running?
Can you see the HeroLED icon in tray?

I'll need to flash back to a Hero ROM to try this. The code looks like its everything that was swirling in my head about how I think it should work, but could never get the code figured out.
Excellent job! Oh and the app probably won't work on a MT3G; its a completely different architecture than the G1.

I will think about this. If you want a version that always opens messaging whether LED is blinking for phone or text then this change would be very simple. I will look at this when I wake up?

Captivate keyboard

For those of you who like the Samsung's iPhone-style keyboard from the other Galaxy S models (yet another thing mysteriously removed for Verizon), I've attached the .so and .apk files from the latest Captivate deodexing. Just copy 'em into /system/lib and /system/app respectively, reboot, and they should work. (Or you could use adb, but that's not working for me right now.) You may want to remove the LatinIME stock android apk/odex that the Fascinate ships with -- the Samsung apk includes the Android keyboard as well.

Here tossed it in a flashable zip for clockwork, haven't tested it but should work.
Thanks s44, for this.

Does it support Swype?

Swype is its own app.

THANK YOU! I've been waiting for this

[APP][ROOT]ScreenToggle - turn off your screen (e.g. while plugged into hdmi)

Wanna turn your Screen off while watching videos over HDMI?
Or need a watchful Xoom but don´t want the screen to be on all the time?
Here´s the app you need!​
Description:
The App adds the posibility to turn off the lcd backlight to your xoom. Its nothing less then a shutdown-button for your display backlight.
The app toggles your lcd backlight to zero and back, said doesn´t just overlay your screen with black, like the other apps inside the market.
it turns off your screen light completly , but the screen stays responsible and the devices stays awake.
Use it instead of locking your xoom, if you need your device itself to be active but dont need the display to be on, e.g. while you´re watching videos over hdmi, use your xoom as a vnc server or something like that.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use this awesome little App with some "starter app" of your choice.
For example, use the Shaking Shortcurt App, register ToggleScreenXoom.apk and you could turn your screen on/off with just shaking your device.
(tested on xoom [email protected] but should work on every rooted xoom)
Thanks to [email protected] for his work on this.

does it work on xoom2?
Hello!
Fanstastic app.
Does it work on xoom2? with 3.2.2 rooted?

I used the old method that this thread started as, using market apps. Unfortunately it doesn't work with the Cornerstone version of the Eos roms. What exactly is app? Can you provide more detail? I don't just download apps to try them without some type of info...

I use the current method on cornerstone #16.

"Basically" the same as the old method, right. Just in one app without the need of configuration and with more flexibility to be launched by other apps.
Maybe you´ll try "Shaking Shortcurt". A nice app that lets you launch two other apps by shaking your xoom.

Yeah, think I'll try that instead of SwipePad. Since Swipepad rely's on the borders of the screen and Cornerstone alters the borders, I'm guessing that's the issue. Maybe the Shaking app won't have that issue.
Thanks again for the clarification, and the thread. I really can't believe this thread hasn't blown up!

just install the app and execute to turn off your screen and again (remember the position) to turn it back on.
or use a starter app like "Shaking Shortcut" to toggle the screen on and off by shaking your xoom.

You´re right. Thanks for the correction.
First post is edited to get it straight.

Does this only work on the xoom? I have an acer 510 and I want something like this. It sounds like this gets launched in conjunction with whatever app you launch. I'd rather that while on hdmi the tablet display is off entirely. Or maybe this does that as well.
So is this specific to the xoom?

sark666 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
According to the readme provided in the zip file this application seems to be specific for the Xoom, or at least a few tegra 2 tablets.

That's disappointing. Why would manufacturer's assume that a user wants the display to stay on while using hdmi?! How about a sane default like leave hdmi output on and turn off tablet display after the normal inactivity duration. But allow a keyboard/mouse not to be recognized as tablet activity.
Could this be modified to work with more devices? Or say newer tegra 3 devices if it's chipset specific. But really, ics should have some application layer to control things like hdmi res, screen active etc...

Nice! Works in AOKP
First of all, this is a great app, and it works well in AOKP (build 37).
To trigger the app, I set my "home" softkey on my xoom (in Rom Control) to trigger the app when the key is held. Even though you can't see the softkeys when on hdmi, after a while, its exact location is easy to recall.
It is really convenient. Thanks for the much needed addition to a great device.

Proximity sensor not working.

Bump.
The developer of Capacitive Button Brightness recently made a version of his app that turns the capacitive buttons on with the screen, regardless of lighting. Idk if he implemented those changes in the Play Store version, but I'm linking his post below.

Turned out using SuperSU rather than superuser seemed to fix the problem. Getting back on topic I suppose, this version of the brightness app solves the issue of the capacitive buttons! They now illuminate when the screen is on, turn off when the screen is off! you're a lifesaver.

Various app questions. Trying to finalize my NST setup using 1337 ROMs.

Hi, everyone. I'm currently trying to set up my NST using 1337 ROM and make everything works the way it should.
I am trying to get Google Voice to work. I have everything working except for the keyboard. I just cannot get the keyboard to pop up. Is there an alternate keyboard I can install or should I install an older Google Voice APK? I'm not sure where to go from here.
Amazon Appstore cannot be parsed properly. I am assuming that this is because the apk is the most recent version. I cannot seem to find any NST compatible APK so I'm wondering if anybody here could share a link to it for me please? Thanks
I am also not able to find the right opera APK. I want to replace the UC browser that came built in.
Is there any RPG games you can recommend for the NST? I'm currently checking out Andor's Trail. And a few RPG GameBoy games via an emulator. Just trying to get some simple games. Especially some that are two players so I can play with my wife too.
Thank you for any responses.

'Course! Here's how to do it:
1. Install the .apk I attached below. It's for an app called Terminal Emulator.
2. Execute the commands displayed below:
Code:

# sqlite3 settings.db
# sqlite3 > delete from system where name like 'lock%';
# sqlite3 > .q
# exit

Let me do some research on these and get back to you.
Pro tip: If you want to change the theme of Hacker's Keyboard to something else, open up Terminal Emulator and execute this:

Then, use the Theme drop-down menu.

The menu background issues have been addressed by altering images in the framework-res.apk. There are two versions around, one with lighter backgrounds (still darker than the original) and one with darker backgrounds. These changes are global so they will affect the overall appearance of even B&N menus. I chose the lighter ones.
The installation is described here and you can examine more of that thread for additional info. The files described are no longer available at the links given in the thread, but I believe mergen3107 recently reposted them.

Thanks! I did everything suggested and it seems to have fixed everything. Still getting used to the new barely visible menu text but I think I can handle that.
Thank you both! the Nook is a lot more usable now

@Deafcyclist, I just updated my SBM Theme (which is used in yattaro's and my 1337 ROM) to include nmyshkin's and mergen3107's fix for the barely visible menu text. Go check it out, if you like. The .apk there with the fix is called framework-res.alt.batterypercentage+graymenu.apk. Follow the installation instructions, and you'll be good to go.
