LED Notifications: Changing Blink Speed?

One thing I really miss from my 8125 was the fact that when I had a missed call/email/VM/text, the amber LED would blink twice as fast as the regular green phone status light.
I know there are programs that will change the LED color for notifications on the Kaiser, but I would like to keep the current color configuration.
Does anyone know of a way in increase the blink speed of the amber LED when I have a missed call/email/etc.?
Thanks for any help.

i want to know this too , any1?
thnx

Yes, if you want to break your LED's you can do it

as long as it's faster honey
definitely sounds good to me. missed calls having the delay between flashes decreased, or have it do double flashes. maybe the occasional beep or vibrate depending on setting for missed calls / texts

Well, it will break your LED's so in the end you have NO flashing LED's or sometimes LED's or wrong LED's. So, search, there are a few threads about it. They will be faster, but only IF they work. I haven't seen anyone that has gotten it to work correctly, especially on the Kaiser.

I sure wish there was a good solution to this...on my HTC Apache/6700 whenever I had a notification the LED would be orange and would flash twice as fast. Considering that in certain light conditions it's difficult to tell whether the light is orange or green, having it flash twice as fast is the perfect solution.

true , now we need a solution for this
On my mio a701 i had this feature , it was usefull

Do you or anyone else have a link to instructions on how to change the color? If I could change notifications to red it might be easier to see than orange. Afaik red is only for low battery anyways and my battery is never low. It's not possible to search for a 3-letter string like "LED."
Thanks

led port is different in devices.

Disabling LEDs

Is it just me or are there too many blinking lights on this phone? I know it's working so I really don't care that it's talking to the network, or that bluetooth is enabled, I know it is and I really don't need to be reminded.
So, does anyone know of a program or just some registry hacks to turn off all the annoying LEDs??
Thanks!

not sure if it would work, but there's this http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-keylight-v1-03.html

Try this program here http://www.modaco.com/content/Smart...nload-Discussion/259413/Kaiser-Notifications/
I have it installed and it's pretty nice. It disables all the LEDs at once if you want, or you can change the LEDS to display different colors than the standard ones. Couple of quirks, like when you recharge it doesn't show a solid green LED, but that returns if you uninstall. I like the program.

Perfect!
I'll give it a shot!
Thanks a lot!

FYI
Just FYI. LEDs are totally different on AT&T devices. The modaco app does work but there does not appear to be a clear nor 1 to 1 mapping of the programs over rides to the AT&T LEDs. It does work well though to simply turn all LEDs off. I would like to have the charging one still work, but the solution is good enough.

Kaiser Notification & new sms

The phone is continuously blinking that I have a new sms!
I restarted, same thing!
I went through each and every sms in my inbox/email folders so that if one was "new" it would be read since I entered it.
Still blinking, so I uninstalled it, restarted and re-installed it. Still blinking!!
I then uninstalled it, restarted, installed it this time on my storage card, restarted and same! Still damn blinking.
I even turned off all light notifications and restarted, then enabled blinking, still blinking! I even changed lights but still blinked green and blue!
Wheres the malfunction?
thanks

Green blinks are normal for me, seem to mean the phone is on. And blue blinks means Bluetooth is on. This can be changed to some extent with a program, but I don't recommend it because the initial version of the program strangely doesn't allow setting the blue blink as an indicator of Bluetooth being on, which is SUCH a weird thing, since it's the default not only for this phone but pretty much for all phones with Bluetooth capability.

You are not familiar with this app called Kaiser Notification by Phil Lee.
It allows you to disable lights and then enable lights for different notifications.
So you can set it to blink green (right lamp) for new sms and blue for new email or vice versa.
You can have it blink amber for bluetooth on, red for missed call and green for phone in service.
Or you can turn off all blinking notifications.
Mine is blinking blue even though I have no new sms.

Hi
This problem has been reported before although I've never seen it. What seems to happen is Windows Mobile gets out of sync with the count of unread messages. The program itself just looks at these counts so if it is told by Windows Mobile there are 'x' unread messages it sets the LED flashing.
A fix is discussed here which requires using a registry editor to reset the counts. I'm working a newer version with some extra features and will look to change the code to either include this fix or to keep count of messages itself rather than use the Windows Mobile reported counts.
Hope the above helps.
Regards
Phil

Hi Phil,
Thanks for taking the time to create such a great app and the time to respond to errors. I checked the thread you referred to and it is literally exactly what im going through,e xcept I havent edited the registry yet.
Thanks again!

Alternative for Kaiser Notifications?

I search a program like Kaiser Notifications... I don't wanna ust it, because for some reason it screws up my cube and it disables the proper behavoir of the green led when the phone is charged completley.
The developer doesn't seem to be able to fix this, so I search an alternative now, someone found something like this?
ps. Kasier Notifications lets the LED's blink when you have a missed call, sms etc.

Did you find anything? I've just upgraded to WM6.1 and the Kaiser Notifications doesn't seem to work anymore I really liked the functionality, I don't know what they are showing now, just seems to blink green and blue constantly!

[FIX] CM led notifications [MERGED]

These changes have been merged into the latest nightly. Expect to see it in the new dinc build on 11/30/2010.
-------------
Hey fellow dinc users. We've been complaining for too long and now we can complain no more (or some more)
I've made a patch that fixes the led notifications so that green and amber blinks now. You can flash this over any version of cm 6.
The led blinks like stock, but the blink rate is not configurable.
-Flash in succession works for different notification colors.
Flash like any zip. Be sure to back up.
Bug: There seems to be an issue with the led light colors not being properly set by CM settings.. Here is a possible solution:
tdiman said:
Next: Bingo:
Set a custom color (somewhere in the pink-red range). Got a red LED immediately.
Now flash color, blink rate work as advertised.
Hopefully that helps narrow down the issue me and CUViper are seeing.

Devs: I've started a Gerritt issue for the fix. I'm not sure if I broke things for other phones.. so hopefully there'll be more contribution from other devs to get this into cm6.1..... update- they didn't like my generic liblights fix, so I've made a device specific one for our inc. It works right now, but I will clean up the file when I get a chance.

Do you think this will work with RUBY?

I think it should. But please let us know if it doesn't!

Let me do a backup and I'll try it out.

nice.. much appreciated! what's left in terms of issues? just the cam force close or are there others? once the cam's fixed.. i'd like to use cm as my daily

The camera really only fcs for 720p recording with autofocus. I might look into it over Thanksgiving.
The led issue was just really bugging me and I was getting impatient lol..

No, go. When I get a text it doesn't blink, or even stay on like it did.

Sorry man, there must be other changes in Ruby that I don't know about. Have you tried changing the colors of your notifications? The driver only responds if it's green or red.

I don't believe Ruby allows you to change the color of your LED. We only have two anyway

You should try an led tester or handcent. An app that lets you change test the color of the led. I could recode the patch to default to green for all other colors, I believe that would make it work for MIUI. Pm me if you're willing to try it..

I think many users may want it blink for Ruby. Though, it does work just fine as it is being only solid. Reason I sorta perfer that is I'm not being tricked into thinking I have a notification. When it blinks I have to always take a second look at it
I tried LED Tester, only colors we have are green and red.

For the apps that have built in LED configuration, like handcent and kik. THey wouldn't even have the orange LED blinking right, which leads me to have it set to no blind in CMsettings and the app settings.
Will this fix work with those aswell?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I can use handcent's settings to set the led color. Only green and red work though. For the apps that don't have a way to set the color, I can control it using cyanogen's settings under the led notifications menu.

I added some review comments in Gerrit for you. When I tried it myself, I wasn't able to get it working until I uncommented your BLINK_FILE writes.

This b0rks the green LED when charging above 90% Now both orange and green are lit.
Also rather then plain green flashing I get nothing :/

When remove the comments, don't the blinks go sporadically?
I intended for the leds to be able to have both red and green, but it looks rediculous so I'm going to fix it.

I'm not sure what you mean by sporadic. It's a quick blink about every two seconds, longer off than on. But with your comments in place, I don't get anything blinking lights at all. The solid charge light works, but blinking notification doesn't.

Interesting, try setting different blink rates, it definitely works!
I'm posting a new version fixing the issue with both lights showing up.

Ok, this is weird. I built your second patch from Gerrit, pushed it out, rebooted, and then suddenly I was getting the opposite of before, now a long blink on with a short off. So I went into Advanced and chose "Reset all colors and apps", and now I can't get anything to blink at all. I'm about to give up and let you and others figure it out...
Can you tell what all the settings are for you? I have only the default "Miscellaneous" category, and I've tried "Always pulse" on and off. The other Advanced settings don't look like they should matter, but I have the rest all off. Then I go into the applications list and choose Gmail, set it to green or red, choose any blink rate, and then "Flash test" does nothing.

You should get a long blink with short off..
I just repeated what you did..
Reset all notifications,
Goto led settings for gmail,
Test flash does nothing,
pick green..even though it was already selected...
Test flash and it worked..
Not exactly sure why it doesn't work for you. lets see what the others say.
