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.

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.

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.

First file posted did not have the blinking text messages. I don't think anyone downloaded it.

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?

thank to this user nurre we have dark keys for cupcake/1.5
ok you kinda need root but lets face it if you haven't got root your a bit of a loser
Rename to darkkeys.apk and install just like any application, then when you first use it tell su permissions to allow always
optional: go to settings, applications, quick launch and then set a shortcut for dark keys so you can just click it off and on with just search+whatever
( i like to use search+0 )
WE CAN SEE ARE KEYBOARD
Oh btw this has been only tested on jf1.50 but I'm sure it will work on all builds
if not, comment and tell me
Tested and confirmed working, thank you so much!
-JF 1.50, Android Aero
How do you install this?
Like you would install any other non-market app.
I downloaded it, named it darkkeys.apk and it doesnt appear in the app installer.

Are you sure you haven't set Windows to hide known file extensions? In that case you might just have renamed the darkkeys.zip to darkkeys.apk.zip, which of course won't be recognized by the app installer.

What do dark keys do? You're not talking about the virtual keyboard right? Or is it something that controls the back light on the G1?
Searched for it. So it turns off the light from the keyboard? How would this be useful? I have a black G1 so maybe this doesn't really effect me...

You have it reversed, its for having the keyboard lit as long as you want it and turning it off after your done.
I'm having the same issue, it wont go to sleep and it kills the battery crazy
add me to the list of users with backlight issues using this 1.5 version... Makes me a sad panda. I had taken this app for granted before upgrading - now I miss it big time.
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?

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).

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.

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.
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.

Yep, better than the stoopid VZ one, however still searching for something better myself, besides just had to do it to see if it worked
while it's nothing mind blowing, the quality seems okay for me, and it's FAR better than the lame verizon one.
those verizon animations make me feel like i'm still using my chocolate circa 2006
thanks guys.. I'll give this one a go for now.. anythings better than the awful stock verizon one.
For what its worth I made my own.
Its of my son so none of you would want it but I made it with gimp and just replaced the stock one. Works great.
Weird thing though, when I view the pics in root explorer it shows the verizon pics instead of mine.
Still plays mine but in the file it still looks like the stock pics.

If you are not near a computer and just wanna disable sounds at start and shutdown give this a try:
Go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then press the Home key
Go back into the phone dialer clear out previous number and enter *#22745927
Now a box will come up asking for the SPC code. Enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button.
Now you can use these codes.
The dialing code string you have to use is *#<code>#

*#28346#
Several audio tuning menus.
I've only tested the two items below:
To silence boot and shutdown audio go to Situation/BOOTSOUND and turn the values to 0. I've tested and confirmed this works.

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)

"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!

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:

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.
