increase trackball light pulse speed on Froyo - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to increase the speed of the light notification for the trackball light in froyo?

per app via a assembly code edit, yes.
we still dont have the tools to de-odex, or re-build decompiled apps with 2.2 features.

Thanks for the reply. Does Google have to release those tools?

CyanogenMod 6 Kaiser [RLS5] - RC2 based, odex:ed build [6.8.2010]

CyanogenMod 6 Kaiser [RLS5.1] - RC2 based, odex:ed build [6.8.2010]
This release is based on CyanogenMod 6 RC2, modified to be Kaiser & Polaris friendly (and hopefully Vogue too). Parts of other releases, mostly dzo's Fresh Froyo are also used.
What's new:
RLS5.1:
- Completely re-done release, based on CyanogenMod 6 RC2 FRF91
- System completely odex:ed (thanks kallt_kaffe for all your help with this)
- Google Apps FRF91 MDPI
- Wifi tethering - courtesy of urban69 and kallt_kaffe.
- Removed most of the "bonus" apps except Astro File Manager, due to /system size limit. To get YR Weather Widget, Brut Maps, Linpack or Nexusrevamped Live Walpaper dowload the AppPack.zip here, unzip the files to your SD card and install via Astro..
- Experimental libhtcgeneric-ril.so to enable 2G/3G switching (again all credits to kallt_kaffe) included. The enable/disable "2G mode only" switch in settings now works!!
For best performance enable compcache in Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Performance. If you want to squeeze even more out of it disable dithering, also in Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Performance.
Download RLS5.1: Mediafire, FileFactory or Megaupload!
Update RLS5.2
-New version of experimental libhtcgeneric-ril.so to enable 2G/3G switching (again all credits to kallt_kaffe) included
RLS5 and RLS5.1 can be updated to RLS5.2 via update attached below: rls5_rls5-2_update.zip.
What works:
Everything should be working as in other Froyo builds. But I may have missed someting - if so, please report!
- Phone: calls, SMS, standard stuff..
- Camera
- BT & BT audio
- Wifi
- Email
- MMS
- Exchange sync, Google sync
- Market
- GPS & Wireless (WiFi or Data) location
- JIT
- Compacache
- et cetera..
More here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732040
Please report! Thanks!
Looks pretty good. Everything works, using latest DZO kernel, rogue tools running at 520/120, Full Market.
Only thing I noticed is that this port doesn't feel as responsive as other Froyo builds or kallt_kaffe VaniljEclair but still a very nice build -

Thanks for your feedback! You can try to enable compache and disable dithering (Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Performance) to see if the responsiveness improves.

Incubus' DarkStar Theme
looks just like the one in his super froyo thread
since this is a cyanogen mod release you can adjust the color of the notifications in the ticker so that they dont appear black on black same with the clock on the status bar. Everything else works i have been using it on my touch in active for a while
again this is NOT MY WORK, all credit goes to incubus

milanche,
A non-odexed would be great. Hopefully you and incubus26jc could work this out. I really love the CyanogenMod6 settings.
It's interesting to notice no backwards text when turning on the phone after a sleep, just a little arrow on the top left corner.
I have a vogue and on bell and everything works (except what we don't have, accelerometer, trackball, etc.), great team work!

Cyanogen Mod 6 Final?

I've had RC1 since it came out and haven't updated since I never knew what was changed or added.
The official changelog doesn't list what was changed from version to version -- very annoying.
So... For anyone who is running CM6 Final, is there any benefit to updating from RC1? Any new features? Performance improvements? Anything worthwhile at all?
There is a lot of great stuff in there. Check out the change log. http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cyanogen/blob/froyo/CHANGELOG.mkdn I believe everything below "Common: Other camera enhancements - Cyanogen" has been added since RC1
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
The best way in my opinion to keep up with changes is to either follow @cmsrc & all the various CM contributors in your twitter feeds or subscribe to Cyanogen's Github, twitter, and CM forum RSS feeds. I do both. I keep a folder in my Google Reader labeled "cyanogen" that keeps me pretty much up to date with whats going on.
To attempt to answer your question a couple things I think are different from RC1 to Stable would be the
RenderFX widget
restart into bootloader/recovery directly from the power button
obviously ADWLauncher with custom shortcuts & a few other goodies
exporting the XML from custom notifications started working
maybe the new power settings widget?
Touch to focus is the coolest new feature and it works beautifully.
Moving from RC1 means you'll see quite a few changes... most notable would be
1. True 720p video recording
2. Enhanced camera app with ISO settings and many more manual settings
3. Camera touch to focus
4. Ability to set custom trackball colors for apps notifications
5. Enhanced audio DSP (equalizer)
6. System-wide proxy settings

[Q] Capacitive buttons

Hi mates..
Currently I own an HTC Flyer, been an HTC fan and would like to try this beast as it seems amazing, one thing though:
Is it possible to use the capacitive buttons as a notification LED? Thats the only thing why I would prefer the Galaxy Nexus over this as in every other aspect I think this beast wins easily..
Much appreciated, thanks..
Good question. If you could flash the capacitive buttons when you have a pending message that would be cool. But I don't know sorry. Just supporting this question.
I'm thinking though that those lights aren't as efficient as a normal LED? Too much battery usage?
I have a Samsung captivate, which has similar buttons. certain kernels would include this feature with an app called BLN. Had to be baked into the kernel to work though
The streak had an app called streakled which worked as long as the phone was rooted.

Just only root? cause the post above you says it has to be in the kernel..
Thanks for the reply mate

It is possible use the NoLed app for notification on the amoled display.
yes, just root. But there may have been differences in the way the captivate and the streak handled capacitive buttons which would allow the streak to have just root access but require kernel changes for the captivate. However, I dont know enough about such things to say what.

Hi, generally, it's possible using app called BLN control. However, that app requires a kernel support which is not yet stable for Note AFAIK.
I'm currently using NoLED which I do recommend - it works very well apart from a few glitches here and there (sometimes, the power button will not activate lock screen when NoLED notification is active - it would turn NoLED notification on/off. In that case I just have to use home button instead).
I would probably prefer BLN as it's simpler and should offer some battery saving against NoLED (possibly negligible) so I hope somebody makes a stable BLN patch for kernel. OTOH NoLED displays differently coloured icons for various events which is nice.

Hi mate thanks for the reply
Do you know if BLN works with CF-Root kernel?as that might be the only kernel I would flash on my Note when I have it..
EDIT: a quick question: does BLN work with lock replacements apps eg. WidgetLocker? I noticed that NoLED only work with stock lock..
Thanks again

As I said, one of the devs tried the BLN patches but said the kernel was then unstable so they are not included in any of the currently available kernels AFAIK.
I'm currently on Abyss 1.2 kernel and I can so far highly recommend it. Let's see in a few days.

I can't confirm that. I'm using WidgetLocker and my NoLED notifications work fine (just tested with a missed call). The only slight hiccup is that after you wake up the screen with the notification the stock lock screen is shown instead of WidgetLocker. I've got a feeling there is probably a way around this - spotted a HomeHelper in the WidgetLocker settings that should handle the Home button in certain situations (presumably like this one). Haven't been bothered enough to mess with these settings yet

Thanks alot mate, really appreciate it

Custom Trackball Notifications

Hey guys, i finally coughed up the dough for a new lcd for my nexus, so i havent been around the community in a few months.
Anyway, one of the older cyanogenmod's allowed custom trackball notifications (color, flash rate, notification specific)
Does anyone know of any roms/mods/kernels that allow custom trackball notifications?
I use 'Light Flow' for a year now and I think there is no app that can do it better:
Light Flow (free)
Light Flow (paid)

[20130727]CM 10.1+HALO+OpenPDroid+Hardware Customisation

This is completely compatible with the official CyanogenMod 10.1 (and I'm planning to keep it that way), so you can switch to and from official without any problems.
The main focus of this ROM is to stay up to date with CyanogenMod 10.1 git branch and add features that allow finer grain customisation of hardware specific to the 4X.
What's added:
LG QuickMemo (hold Vol+ and Vol- to activate) [framework change]
Enable wake by pressing volume key setting [settings app change]
Control button backlight in System Settings (can stop it turning on whenever you touch the screen) [settings app + framework + hardware library change]
Button backlight used as notification light (can be enabled/disabled in System Settings) [settings app + hardware library change]
Button backlight used as battery light (recommend disabling in System Settings) [settings app + hardware library change]
Ability to dim backlight more than minimum (activate from ArararagiToolbox, otherwise like stock) [kernel change]
Ability to force fast charge even higher than default AC levels (activate from ArararagiToolbox, otherwise like stock) [kernel change]
20130502: Fix headset button (thanks to Wenque) Now in official CM
20130505: Disable baseband_xmm_power wake lock [kernel change]
20130512: Torch brightness control. You need to clear data for the Torch app. Default is the minimum possible brightness, rather than the stock CM 10.1 brightness. [Torch app + kernel change]
20130515: Fix known issues in torch brightness control caused by 20130512 changes. Clear Torch app data. [Torch app change] Disable touch debug printing in kernel. [kernel change]
20130602: Use new vibrator implementation in line with CM. Add baseband_xmm_power wake lock back in.
20130609: Uncap screen brightness
20130611: Disable baseband_xmm_power wake lock again. Now using Linaro 13.05 GCC 4.7 to build (user + kernel).
20130612: HALO ported from ParanoidAndroid
20130613.1: OpenPDroid
20130623: Enable ODEX
20130623: Use -O3 for compiling native components
20130623: Increase vibrator PWM duty cycle (should increase vibrator strength)
20130625: Tweak background process parameters
20130630: Add QuickMemo quick settings tile
20130707: Add LG Hidden Menu (only GNSS Test works at the moment)
20130713: Allow control of which backlight HVLEDs are enabled. Lets you make the screen even dimmer
20130716: Allow control of gamma LUT from user space. Let's you over saturate the screen colours
20130727: Add support for external GPS (http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/owner:ich%40morphew.de+status:open,n,z)
Check github for full changelog. Each release also includes changes from official CM.
Optional (can be installed as normal app):
Memobin.apk: LG Notes
AraragiToolbox.apk: Actually activating some of the features mentioned above
CameraApp3.apk: 20130606. LG Jelly Bean stock camera app ported to Android 4.2/CM 10.1.
ArararagiToolbox features that work on any ROM:
Check battery current (drain/charge in mA)
Disable USB (for charging on untrusted computers)
Check KSM (kernel same page merging) stats
Note: Anything changed from AraragiToolbox won't stay across reboots, as it's more of a tool for testing. I'm planning to add them into the System Settings later on.
Install by flashing zip from ClockworkMod (Find "Optimus 4X" on the page). No need to wipe data if you are already using CM 10.1.
Download: cm-10.1-20130727-UNOFFICIAL-p880.zip (md5sum: 99d7acca2d33fcdac8c6faed57f44f0b)
Source: https://github.com/mzhou/arararagi_lge_p880_patches
Planned:
Overclocking, Schedulers, I/O Schedulers, Governors
Vibration strength Make it configurable
Control camera flash/torch brightness
USB mass storage
Fast charge tile
How to HALO:
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2117444&page=976 (Thanks to kubics for original posting and Namor Noditz for linking) on how to configure.
Just mentally replace "Settings > RootBox Settings > HALO Settings" with "Settings > System".

Does that mean it did what I suggested and wiped out the additions? That's certainly what used to happen with older versions of CM and I would expect exactly the same to happen still.
It's the same as with the PDroid version - unless the OP sets up his own automated build system you can often find the build lagging behind the nightlies. That's why they often choose to base a modded version on the most recent 'stable' CM and then have to update it less frequently.
I think I found a bug. When I am charging my phone over USB or AC the button's lights are always on.

That's not a bug. You've got the screen set to "Always On" when charging, and the buttons set to "Always On" - therefore the buttons will always be on when charging?
Awesome!!!!This is what i need.Great job!
If qmemo can also turn on by long press menu/quick setting panel,that will be perfect.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The button lights function as battery lights by default. Disable it in settings -> system -> battery lights.
It's difficult to release just modified files (as you can see from my kernel and other QuickMemo thread, it becomes a mess) and now that framework modifications are involved, it can cause conflicts if they are flashed over a CyanogenMod version that it wasn't designed for.
It might be possible to get the button backlight feature upstreamed in CM, but I doubt they'd accept any of the rest.
I'll look into setting up automated build, and also getting the source modifications organised on github or similar.
20130428 is now available.
