Is there an app that displays some kind of indicator for read/write flash access? You know; something like the little light on a hard drive. I'm never sure when it's safe to soft-boot or turn off my phone. I don't want to do it in the middle of a write operation and bunk my flash memory or important data. Something that displays red (writing), green (reading) and yellow (no operation) would be perfect. Alternately have all the phone's LEDs flash when it's writing something.
Thanks

The battery indicator strip (the thin line going from red on the left, to yellow, to green on the right) on top of my screen keeps disappearing and I can't figure out why. I like being able to tell how much charge I have left.
The only way I can bring it back, is by doing a backup restore, but then, after a few days, or weeks, it just disappears again.
I am using Dr Puttingham's Cingular ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62383) and a ClassicBlack theme (it doesn't matter what theme I chose, the Battery Strip is gone in all of them.)
Any ideas?

Use programm called BATTI, works like a charm, has also ALWAYS ON TOP option so its displayed everywhere... love that app and i assure you it does not have any memory leaks or whatsoever on WM6, was using it on clean install and no problems at all
Didn't really find anything, but, does anyone know if it is possible for a "hard drive" activity LED, that would show you if anything is going on, during boot up, or if the TP just seems to be "stuck". I was thinking along the lines of a drive/CPU activity light that would blink if the memory/cpu or whatever is doing something. Better than just looking at the screen.
I fill stupid, about a year ago I installed a battery status bar that is displayed at the top of the screen (above the start menu). It goes from green to red and shows the status of your battery. I believe you were able to change the battery status to memory, SD card etc.. anyway I accidentally pressed it and hit "none" when asked which status it would like me to show. After hitting it the battery status bar disappeared like it was suppose to.
I looked everywhere in my tilt, can not find the program to turn it back on. Does anyone know what little program this is, and were it may be located on my tilt. I can not figure how to turn it on.
Any help!!
Sounds like one of the functions of iLauncher. Is that something you have installed?
You can always look in Setting, System, Remove Programs to see everything you have installed.
I think the application is Batti?

Good luck
Edit: Reinstalling the cab will get it back for you!

Or go into File Explorer> My Device or Storage Card> program files. I have found many aprogram I thought long gone there, sitting just switched off or unloaded.
Could be in windows\startup folder. Depends on if it starts automatically or if you have to start it after a soft reset. I have one called Vistahide battery guage that I like. Just shows battery status at the top, green yellow orange red type of thing. doesn't take up space.
Kyphur, you got it! Thanks for the replys guys, it was in iLauncher!
After i go step by step this tutorial forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726258& the softkeys on my Nexus One don't light-up. If it is dark, in example by night, i didn't see the keys and i have to guess where the right softkey is.
I think the trackball flashes red, because it's a error statement that the softkeys are faulty.
I think the problem made by flashing the mtd0.img from this website ks33673.kimsufi.com/misc , because it's for a HTC Desire.
So i think i have to flash the right mtd0.img for a Nexus One LCD to fix the Problem.
But i can't find something like this.
After this procedure the display don't work and i flashed the PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_release_signed.zip with the new HBOOT for my LCD on my Phone. Then i flashed CyanogenMod 6 stable and it still works fine, but the softkeys always dark and the trackball flash red.
If the room bright enough, and the softkeys has not to flash, the trackball doesn't flash red.
So i need help, please.
Sorry for my english, it's not my native language.
FYI, this should not be in the development forum... mods please move!!!
Trackball flashing does not mean error... it's a notification alert... and as to the soft-keys... they don't flash... they lightup... maybe something to do with the SLCD version of the N1!!!
Do they light up if you have just stock??
First time, before i downgrade my hboot the softkeys light up. Now, after downgrade and upgrad back to 0.35.0017 they don't light up.
There is no difference between stock or custom rom.
I tested:
- PASSIMG_Passion_KT_KR_2.15.1010.2_FRF91_release_signed.zip
- PASSIMG_Passion_Vodafone_Generic_2.15.151.5_R_FRF 91_release_signed.zip
- PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_release_signed.zip
After i flashed Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33, flashed CyanogenMod with Custom Recovery (RA-nexus-v1.8.0.1-aw).
For what does the notification stand? It's also red, if i flashed a stock rom and has no additional apps installed.
When i put the lightness sensor under a lamp or is bright enough (sun is shining), the trackball doesn't flash red.
If the phone is in standby, the trackball doesn't flash.
Sounds like a sensor calibration failure.
Is there any data files stored anywhere in relation with hboot.
Your flashing procedure for 0.35 hboot retrieving may not put the LCD compliant data's.
Sorry it's only a clue, I'm novice in android and nexus.
Thank you for your comment, but until now I didn't have an idea how its help me.

Until now I'm not possible to fix the problem.
I only found a way to disable the red trackball:
I go to CM settings under "user interface" and activated "use custom" in "automatic backlight" and set in "edit other levels" all levels to 0 at buttons. So the system will not activate the back-light of the soft-keys in any way and the error message (red trackball) don't appear.
Additional i know that the back-light is not faulty, when i started in LED notification the flash test in someone of the application, the back-light lights up collectively with the trackball.
The problem is still alive, when i have a stock rom, like Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33.
Have anyone another idea how i can fix this problem?
I got my R1 HD recently. After I set up everything I noticed that when the screen is off, no matter whether I received an email, a sms or a missed call, the LED light just didn't flash. The phone did notify by sound and I can see items in status bar when I turn on the screen.
I looked at everything in the Settings, but couldn't find anything wrong. I called R1 representative and he said he never heard such issue before.
Then I ordered a replacement from Amazon and it arrived today. You know what, same thing happened! No LED light for notification. Just sound notification.
The only time I know there is an LED light is when I charge the phone (red) or when it's fully charged (green).
Has anyone seen such issue before? I greatly appreciate the help!
The LED can really only display red and green as when they are both on the red greatly overpowers the green so the color combination is not detectable. Lightflow can control which apps have access to the LED and which color to display. The LEDs are either on or off - no brightness levels. I have also not been able to get the LED to blink on notifications and suspect that this is also a hardware limitation of the phone. I've been quite disappointed in the LED notification capabilities. There are a couple of other threads about the notification light in the Blu forums here if you search
Thanks for the reply! I did try Lightflow, but it didn't help. In test mode or real mode, what I got was just a status bar notification, no LED.

I did have to change some settings for it to work with the Blu phone.
These are the settings I am using that allow apps to turn on the LED:
Under General settings, the following are checked:
Enable Light Flow
Show LED in priority mode
Device Admin
Enable Clear all
Accessibility check
Version upgrade reminder
Under Device settings and root, the following are checked:
Direct mode
Root mode
Run every command as root
Show LED with screen on
Nexus 5 force LED reset
I also have light flow enabled under settings->accessability and lightflow has root permission in supersu.
Oh so I have to root the phone? I just called Blu customer service, and they told me I need to do a factory reset..
Try it and let us know what happens, please. Some phones require root and others don't. I reflashed and rooted and xposed mine before I did anything else so I don't know if it works without root or not.
Solved! Did a hard reset (not factory data reset thru Settings) by pressing power button and volume up together to enter the recovery menu. I cannot believe Amazon/Blu missed such an important step that the customer has to do it by themselves..
Same here bit in a Blu vivo 5R in this case.
So... I need to execute a Factory Reset? And then appears the option for LED notification And works.
Hi ! I did buy a BLU VIVO XL2. No LED activity for notifications. I have the options for LED behavior (Settings/Advanced Settings/Under Hardware title, LED indicator, Notification Reminder ON but green LED never flashes when expected. Factory Reset tried: I used Volume Up & Power Button to get recovery menu. There, I took a backup (SD storage, no compression, several chunks of data). After that, I selected Factory Reset. When rebooted, Google did his automatic restore of phone. After that, I tried Restore from Recovery menu, but a msg informed backup was corrupted, so, I did get a full Factory Reset status, with my phone memory user data lost. NO LED Notifications working after all these actions !!!!! . LED is alive, when reporting Power status, so it is not HW damaged. I will keep fighting to get my LED notification activity working... Regards, Norberto !!!
Try the free version of LightFlow from the play store. It will allow you to test and turn individual notifications on or off. The light can on display red and green colors and the red is very much brighter than the green. Mine turns flashing red when I miss a phone call on the Blu R1 HD>
Hi !! Thnx yaconsult. I did try free & legacy, unsuccessfully. Have a good day !!
I guess the Vivo works differently, then. The notification light works ok on my R1. If I miss a call, I get a blinking red light.
