Updated Changelog
2.1.1
- Fixed bug where notifications were not clearing properly.
2.1
- Added Preferences panel for enabling and disabling different notification features
- Automatically detect and disable itself for MyTouch/Magic/Sapphire devices (should eliminate FCs)
- compatible with ROMs with modified build.prop files
2.0.3
- Fix for multiple notifications. Should properly keep track of existing and any new notifications when clearing (especially for Google Talk)
- smaller footprint
2.0.2
- Major fix for length of LED notifications. Should blink until phone gets plugged in or until you accept them.
- reordered versions for clarity.
2.0.1
- Added Trackball notifications to light Green LEDS (should work for SMS, missed calls, voicemails, etc. Make sure to enable in Settings/Sound and Display)
- Added additional color information from Missed Call LEDS.
- Logging enhancements to capture information while plugged in
2.0
- Original release
Install information - add "-r" to adb install command to overwrite previous release. Reboot and you're good to go.
This will be the final build for this app. There's a few ROMs available with custom build.prop settings that will automatically enable the LEDs for almost all of the Hero functions. For the notifications it doesn't do, this app will intercept those notifications and light up the normal LEDs on G1 devices.
It will no longer constantly FC on MyTouch/Magic/Ion/Sapphire users, but it will no longer run as well since it is not needed for those systems (afaik).
By default, the only setting that is enabled is the Hero notifications. You will have to launch the preference application that is now included and turn on both the Charging LEDs and the normal notification LEDs if they aren't automatically being lit already. A reboot isn't required to start if you launch the preference app.
Credits - Shafty for the hard work (as well as a dozen others), jinx for the scheduling program, and manup for the icon.
So, try it out and see if it works if you're interested.
Tried to install this, but didnt see an APK. Where is it?
Awesome, when do you think the final version will be released?
It installed fine but once it did I couldn't find the app?

I'm confused. How did you install it?
Strange... I opened the file on download instead of saving the zip, and there it was. Rebooting now.
Ok, this is the winner. Everything works perfectly!!! Finally true LED support for Hero on the G1. Amazing.
I unzipped the .apk, mounted my phone and put it into the root folder, than installed through ASTRO and it installed just fine. After I rebooted it's not appearing in my apps anywhere. What did I do wrong? I did not have any prior HeroLED app on my phone prior to installing this. It appears in my apps when I got into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications. It's not appearing in the actual app menu though. Help?
Hey, how can I remove my old existing HeroLED.apk? In Manage Apps I'm only able to stop the process but remove button is inactive!? My Device is a HTC Magic (Vodafone Germany).

There's no app for this one (yet). Everything is done automatically after boot.

Sounds like its hung. You may have to remove it manually. Check either in /data/app or /data/app_s. Remove a file there called HeroLED.apk then reboot. Then you should be able to remove it normally.

Its pretty close to final as it is. The only things still left undetermined is MT3G support and how well it performs after the phone 'goes to sleep.'
Those are the only things I anticipate to do some final tweaking for. I've been using it for the better part of 2 weeks, and I can't tell the difference between BFS issues and my app issues; so I'm posting it here for extended evaluation.

Thank you for clearing that up. After I restarted and didn't see it in the app tray I was afraid it was a bad install.
Just to be sure, this works with jac-heroski 2.2b or a?Ill want to get a g1 i currently dont have any android phones yet.
The only problem...
The only problem I have with this is that it doesn't flash for new text messages, is it just me or is this already known?
P.s. I tried using Missed Call, but all the LED's come out red.

It should for any Hero rom, provided there isn't a led app already installed.

If text messages are configured to flash the leds, it should. The color is picked depending on what the app is configured for.
Post or send me a logcat when those messages are coming in. Its possible its using a flag my app isn't configured for.
I'll do that but could you tell me how to do logcat, I don't know how
Connect via usb and if you have the android SDK run adb logcat and direct the output to a file.
Prior to that make sure under Settings/Sound and Display/Notification Flash that the items are checked off.
I may have a fix for this I'll be uploading shortly, just need some confirmations.
I'm an idiot...
nevermind I read what you said wrong, but adb says that it can't make output file read-only file system

Just wanted to say thank you again for your work. This is absolutely amazing.
Recieved my P990 yesterday. But I cannot seem to find the right application to remove to ditch the music bar and power settings from the notification panel.
Already removed the music application etc. (trough titanium backup with root)
Does anyone know what the application is called that shows this. Or is it in the rom and can't it be removed. (which mean I have to put the music app back to make it work and ditch winamp)
Open the musicapp and open the settings, there you van disable the player in the notification bar.
That only works if you didn't remove of freezed the music app. Unfreeze, deselect the option, the musicbar is gone. Freeze or remove the app, the musicbar is there again. I've tried it many times...

Music bar is managed by the framework.
It is on by default at boot but can be turned off by the Music app. If you remove the Music app it never gets told to "turn off".
Actually, in the framework it appears really easy to totally remove this functionality but will require a patch that I've not worked on yet, and it may require to remove the actual Music app to prevent force closes.
I might have a play with that this weekend.

There's no option to turn them off as far as I can tell but I think I can also remove that permanently... I'll look at that too.
Okay, so don't try and do this.

I'll need to wait for a mod/update or return it. Back to my Nexus One for the weekend it seems.

Don't (try to) replace framework-res.apk, that's what I learned...
How the hell do you brick a phone by replacing an apk? A brick is what the word suggests; A brick, paperweight etc. Surely you could replace the apk with ADB?

It's a paperweight.
I need a nv flash to replace the system.img.
The framework fails to load and a reset command is issued by the system as soon as it boots. I have adb access for less than 3 seconds before the phone restarts and can not issue a stop command before the reset command.
It's not that uncommon really.

Can't you issue the adb command and it will wait for the device to boot fully and then stop before the reset? Unless you probably already tried it. Best of luck man!

Err, solution to what?
This may sound a little noob-ish but I am new to device and my condition is a bit bad.
My G1 is running Android 2.2 Froyo, it has a keyboard with E,R and 6,7 keys not working. And I cannot get past google verification. I can't run wifi and to write the apn settings, I require the keys.
The ****ty system doesn't even show on-screen keyboard in the auth.
So what can I do apart from dumping the G1? Is there some way to enable on-screen keyboard?
EDIT -> I now know that the device is rooted and has Amon_Ra but I can't seem to do anything. Any help?
Re: [Q] [HELP] Bypassing Google authentication
If you are running 2.2froyo then you must be rooted as the dream can not be updated past 1.6 donut without root.
But if your only issue is those couple keys to bypass why not just make a new gmail that doesn't use those keys, new accounts are free you know, how about [email protected]

Well, the problem is not with the Gmail account, the problem is setting up the GPRS connection. You know, the APN settings. If only would it let me use WiFi from default.
And I can't even use it on adb I guess (to enable it I need to type in a code).
I did see something like "WiFi patch" on CaNNoN202's ROM thread, but the links were dead.
Still looking for help

Do ya need a keyboard? i have some inbox me.
If it is rooted and has amonra recovery installed then boot to recovery and flash a compatible ROM, nearly all custom ROMs have the ability to let you bypass sign in and go straight to os
If you want help choosing a ROM that is compatible you need to tell me what radio and SPL you have
If you really just want to use adb to bypass I can help with that too but it is unneeded if the phone is rooted

Well, I do not know the radio and SPL (the person I bought it from had it all done). Would anything happen if I install the latest SPL and Radio? And they already be on the device? (which is rare)
EDIT: I looked another thread and found that pressing Camera + Power should show me a screen which tells me the radio and other things. Tried it and it showed me a RGB-color screen. Radio was 1.22 something and the Hboot was 0.95 something.
And by the way, on the same thread I found that, if we boot into recovery and it shows a triangle and "!", it means the phone is unrooted. Well, unfortunately that is the case with me

Thanks for this. I did get most of my questions about the device solved from this thread. But the By-pass method won't work for me as I can't enable the device in adb. W,E,R keys are not working on my keyboard...
Hi, I had the same problem. Try to go to the 'Welcome to Android' screen with the android guy. Touch the upper left, upper right, down right (above the bar with the Emergency dial button and down left in THAT order. It should work....
Dual screen not active, work around
Hi guys, after reading several threads I was having problems getting any of the method to work for my LG H634. I was able to get as far as opening browser, but as far as installing an app or opening dual windows I was unable to. It seems that the dual screen option is not turned on when the phone is reset and returns default setting. Fortunately while using the phones browser to research the problem I noticed the more browser window and apps I left open the the longer it would take to go to the activation screen when the phone was turned on. After leaving nearly 30 browser windows and several app such as messages note pad and other as that I was able to open using the share option from sites such as YouTube the phone had enough lag when initially booting that I actually had time to open the setting screen by quickly making a downward swipe on the screen during short time it took to go from the the opening screen to the activation screen. Once I was able to do this I had full access to the phone's option menu which allowed me to change account, turn on the dual screen option, allow third party apps to be installed as well as every thing else needed to gain full access to my phone.
Hope this helps some of you. I there are any questions I will be glad to answer them.
I have found a couple threads on this topic, but none of them provide a clear cut solution mostly because they have workarounds related to disabling notifications on the computer side.
The issue is I have a Mac, so instead of a notification, every time I connect the phone, the phone turns on "development mode" and then I see an emulated CD on my desktop and the application pops up.
I want to disable or delete this emulated CD. I would like a way to do this on the phone side, perhaps just disabling a service or application. I am not rooted and don't plan on it.
TIA

disable HTC Sync Manager

FWIW (and I don't think this will help you necessarily), I didn't delete the file. I renamed it using a Root Explorer from PCTOOL.ISO to BackupPCTOOL.ISO and rebooted. I figured I'd leave it just in case.... Good luck.
I've also:
1) disabled HTC Sync Manager from All Apps
2) deleted PC Synchronization.apk
3) deleted HTC Sync Manager.apk
4) deleted AndroidHTCSync.apk
I want to be able to launch HTC Sync Manager manually when I DO want to sync stuff (mostly my music), but not every time I connect my phone just to charge it. Sigh.
You also have to disable kernel write protection. If you don't, it comes back. Minor details....
I don't even se that file in my etc folder.. :/
Hi all, hoping to find a solution to an issue I've been having with a new N6. The Auto-rotate feature is refusing to activate when I put the phone on its side. Apps which force landscape mode (eg Netflix) can still function normally, its just rotating when the phone is sideways that doesn't work.
Things I have tried:
reboot
un-check and then re-check autorotate in the swipe down quick access menu
un-check and then re-check "landscape mode on rotate" in settings > display.
verify accelerometer is working ("check my android" and "accelerometer monitor" both show active readings on all three axes)
None of the above have worked. Has anyone had any experience with this issue? All the threads I found by searching the forums were fixed by checking the accelerometer with the above-mentioned apps.
Device info:
Nexus 6, rooted and unlocked, running stock android 5.1 ROM over the latest leankernel.
go into your main settings, accessibility, now enable it. now you can use the iption in the pulldown as well.

Not sure what you are talking about. Home screen does not rotate . That is a hack. If apps not rotating then have a problem. I run stock rooted with LeanKernel and rotation works as it should.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I mean that the Auto-rotate feature is not working in any scenario when I turn the phone over, for example in chrome or on YouTube or any other applicable. The only way I am able to enable landscape mode is to use an all which forces landscape mode (eg Netflix), but this does not fix the Auto-rotate even temporarily, and switching to an app like YouTube afterwards resumes the issue.

Fastboot flash the images separately. Don't flash the userdata.img. Will keep your data. If have Google restore enabled it now restores most everything if you do wipe data. Can use TIBU but have to move the backup to PC if you wipe data as you will lose it. Can actually make a zip file with TIBU to backup that also requires root and a custom recovery such as TWRP. Sucks with no external sd. Lol

Sorry to be a bore but I'm not 100% clear on what you mean by "fastboot flash the images separately". I didn't think it was possible to, for example, flash a fresh copy of a ROM or kernel without deleting data. Are you advising me to flash something else?
Apologies if its a silly question - I'm still relatively new to the game.
Managed to work out what the above poster meant, and reflashed the bootloader, radio, boot and system images successfully. Unfortunately my phone still refuses to autorotate is there anything else I can try or is it time to get a replacement?
