Before I got a MyTouch I had seen a app on the market with the G1 that controlled the back light for the trackball on the Hero and the MyTouch. I tried to search every option out there and I cant find the app. Does anyone know what this app is called?
Thanks in advanced
I want to know too, anyone help?
I second this!
The only thing I have been able to find is controlling the blink rate of the trackball in the settings of Handsent sms. I use the app as my default sms client anyways. A dev should definitely make an app for the control of the trackball as well as color changing (if it offers such a thing).

Missed Call will allow you to change all LED color notifications:

You can just get a better/hacked default SMS app instead and have the option. ;] ;] ;]

Well, I'm not looking for anything like that. I'm not certain about the original poster though. I love sms popup. I was just looking for a spoof app to make my phone go nuts with all the lights flashing!
Thanks for the info though.
there was an app called rave (or something) in the market ages ago.. might still be there
There's an old app call dgAlert Classic. It allows you to change sms/mms LED notification color and flash rate. It doesn't work with Donut though. Only 1.5 and lower.
gonna try missed call . thx guys .
im running cyanogens 4.04 and missed calls have a blue led and also you can change the color for messages without having to install any app
Awesome!

I think I love you. In a not gay brotherly way...Anyway, I am running Cyanogen as well and have totally seemed tip have skipped over this feature in the settings. You win and internet.
Hey there ppl
Iam searching for some software which can customize the Trackballs LED when i recieve sms or have a missed call to flash faster.
The LED is very usefull when you do not have any sound or vibration on the phone and its laying ont the table. But the idea of it dissappears when it only flashes once every 10 seconds as you will have to look at it in a long time to see if you have recieved anything.
So it could be really nice if some sort of software existed

You could install theVillain Rom 3.3.... When receiving sms, email, voicemail, notification, the trackball will led.. you can also switch off part of these settings.
Notifylight works fine (IF YOU HAVE ROOT!)
are there any terminal codes or apps that would change this?

For the most part, most roms should have settings within the messaging app and dialer to change this.
Look there first as with the Rom I am currently using I am able to set the blinking speed and or the color for my text messages.
Outside of messaging I havent bothered to test myself.
Download Missed Call from the market.
You can change led colour, blink speed, vibrate patterns, etc. It's pretty good.

hi, I just update to FRF50. Just wondering if there are any apps out for the colored trackball and trackball to wake the phone? I had those when I had cyanogen.
Untill the source is released there won't be a 100% working option. There are mods from Paul in the dev section for the trackball notification. There are also lock screen mods for the trackball wake.
Look for "No Lock" on the market. It turns off all lockscreens so pressing the tracball will turn on/wake the phone, again disables the lock screen. It can be ran as an app or a widget.
As for trackball colors, the only one I found that works with original 2.2 non custom rom is SMS Popup, lets you change the colors of SMS notifications.
Trackball colours works with all new FroYo Custom Roms here on XDA

"blink" and "Gmail unread count" allow custom colors on non-rooted Froyo.
Successive notifications don't work x-app but it will allow you to experience some trackball notifications until the source is out for Froyo to get a "proper" implementation.

Whilst this works well for me, I do find that Blink can lose settings randomly. You ever seen this?
If you are on a properly deodexed froyo Rom, ie modaco r17, you may use trackball alert for colored notifications. You can get itfor free from the market. As for trackball wake, nothing yet.

Can't say I've noticed. Will keep an eye out

Never had it do that, instead it would often flash the SMS colour for no reason, with no way to stop it though.
That was annoying.

No Lock from the market works for trackball wake on this rom
running frf72..... using a free app called lockbot that allows to you wake via the volume buttons and the trackball. you can also customize your lockscreen if you choose. this will work for me until something integrated comes along. Don't forget to make sure its installed on your phone rather than the SD so that it will launch on boot. Also remember to ignore it in any task killer you might use.
I've been using no lock for awhile, works great with no ill effects t to the battery life. Running desire r21.
yup i'm using no lock on froyo FRF50 and it works perfect. lets you use trackball to wake the phone, and battery life is identical as well.
I was wondering if any one knew of an app that would blink the capacitive home screen button when you have a notification. I have looked around on the play store to no avail. I have never developed anything for android. I have got myself setup to begin designing an app that will basically turn the home button into a notification light while the screen is off. If anyone knows of an app that can do this or would like to help please let me know.

I know this is nothing even close to what you are looking for, but I found it useful on another phone that didn't have a notification led.

If you could update with what it was that you found usefull that would be great. Thanks. I am looking for anything close to posibly even take ideas from.
It shows a small icon on the screen for different notifications, which if I remember correctly are all customizable. So it's a persistent icon on the screen letting you know about missed calls, texts, unread emails, or whatever you set it up for. It only uses a tiny amount of screen, and therefore backlight. Back when the Android phones first came out a lot of them didn't have leds for notifications. I don't remember having a big hit on my battery at the time from the program.

Ill have to check it out. I have used a few like that and they didn't act right, made the screen act weird. Thanks for the suggestion.

I just got the Turbo today, and I will try it out too. I know it was a lifesaver when I had my Samsung Captivate.
A nudge or a wave shows moto display, I think it's the natural evolution of a notification led
I know but i wish it didn't. I have the wave turned off but i cant turn the nudge off. I only want it to display if there is a notification. If there is nothing it should just wait patiently. But that's just me.

Now see I'm the opposite I want it to show more like battery %. I don't wear a watch anymore and love active display for checking time.

NiLS in the Play Store will but notifications on the lockscreen... however you will have to disable Active Display and go with the normal lock screen.

That could work, thanks.
