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

I came across NotifyLight(Pulselight) app, but it just works when screen is on The app dev doesn't seem to support it anymore...
Could anybody put his hands on and modify that app to get it flash when the screen is off?

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!)
Is anyone using both these apps together and having no issues?
WidgetLocker seems to prevent NoLED working properly - the NoLED notification sometimes flashes on screen briefly, but widetlocker lockscreen is then displayed.
Can't find any settings in either app which would prevent the two interacting together - bit of a pain!
Any thoughts/advice is appreciated
Cheers

It looks like since version 2.3, you'll have to use the default lock screen.

Thanks for the link the workaround noted in point 5 seems to get around the issue...
The default lockscreen is displayed once the NoLED notification is acknowledged but at least the notification itself is displayed!
Better than nothing....!
Hello!
I realy like the miui roms but there are some things that i could not get to work with it when i tried it last month.
What i miss is the support for ultrabright flashlight for example with n1 torch
i also want trackball alerts like in enoms rom.
is these things possible to get yet ?
Thanks in advance!
Of course, you have and torch and trackball alerts!
...from the market.

Not necessarily, you have the torch in notification menu and trackball alerts in settings - system - Led notifications. Both works perfectly.
Thannk you for the quick response, yes i know about the torch but does it support ultra bright mode ?
Well this one isn't so difficult but I though I'd share for those that have not worked it out yet.
The LG Device Test "HiddenMenu" is apparently on all shipping phones and it's simply disabled via removing the menu entry.
To activate you need to create a shortcut to this hidden menu. You can do this with most replacement launchers and apps like BetterCut.
Example using LauncherPro (others will use a similar method):
Long press on home screen
Select Shortcuts
Select Activities
Scroll down to and expand com.lge.hiddenmenu
Select HiddenMenu (first entry)
Enter Shortcut name
Click on shortcut to launch
Hit 'Thanks' below
Also now Logcat app:
As above
Scroll down to and expand LG Debug
Select LG Debug (first entry)
Enter Shortcut name
Click on shortcut to launch
Hit 'Thanks' below
Enjoy the vast amount of options and tests in there, and be careful as some are destructive.
Perhaps Useful:
Dim Capacitive Buttons: Device Test | Touch LED Brightness
Turn on Camera LED: Device Test | Camera Test | Torch Flashlight Preview
Wtf I just dimmed my touch buttons nice.
The brightess of the buttons was to bright for using the phone as a ebook reader at night the setting stays avyive even after exiting the test.

Thanx!

Thx buttons pressed!!
The phone is getting better and better.
Only thing for me left to do is Root, No adds and delete couple of apps.
And try to fix the Lock screen lag when you power on screen.

What specifically is that? I use WidgetLocker and don't experience lag... does it taker a while with the stock one to become responsive? I can't recall that.

For a noob like me, which free apps can I use for launch this service?
I'm also frustrated about the lack of dim option as standard in the phone.

Sometimes it goes to homescreen and then the lockscreen, when it's been idle for some time.
It also happens with widget locker for me.

I experience the same issue, but even more annoying, it keeps displaying unread messages on the lockscreen until i reboot.
I'm using Handcent, guess the lockscreen gets the unread count from the original messaging app. If anyone know of a fix, please do share.
Hi alls. For those experiencing some nagging issues like lag or bugginess, are your phones rooted to Gingerbread or...? Thanks!
No, rooted stock froyo 2.2.2 in my case.
Gingerbread isn't out yet :-(

Gulp, I'm new at this... I wonder if after its rooted will these issues be solved? IDK, maybe it's the LG UI?

Yeah could be. Did anyone try to delete all the LG apk's and see if the stock lockscreen is the same??

Probably the free version of Launcher Pro does it I think.

I don't think I get the former, but certainly dodgy behaviour immediately after boot.
I have started getting the message count now when the stock screen flashes up. It seems to count all messages, read or otherwise.
Perhaps somebody can start a confirmed & common bugs thread in General for a good collection of them.
Some more:
I can't use a long complex password to connect to a WiFi-G AP, but a simple password works just fine.
Music controls return to notification shade sometimes after a reboot, box in Music app is still unchecked.

No problems with the above and lock screen, I'm using Launcher pro and Pattern lock.
These are bugs i'm experiencing:
[Not realy a bug but a LG feature]Multiple exchange accounts disabled in LGemail app. Resolved by using the Android mail client and freezing LGemail (thanks for that ).
Camera brightness not listening to "auto" brightness, but uses the manual settings. Maybe it`s just me, but can somebody check the brightness of the camera app after setting the brightness to minimal and then check "Auto".
I flashed Slim ICS 4.0.4 yesterday, with the Captivate essentials and Slim Gapps. The ROM looks great and is considerably faster than my previous ones (Phoenix Unleashed and CM7 2.3.5).
Although I have a couple of issues with the ICS keyboard and notification lights.
-In the GB keyboard, I used to be able to double-tap the spacebar and get a period. Can't see that option in ICS. Am I missing something in the settings?
- Also, in GB, the spelling suggestions used to work even when I've typed a word wrongly and placed a space between that and a new word. I could go back to the wrongly typed word and correct it. In the ICS keyboard, once I move on from a wrongly typed word, I can't come back to it and correct it.
If the answer is that move back to GB keyboard for a while, can someone suggest a good GB keyboard app?
For the notifications: I have the AT&T captivate, and whenever a text/email etc arrives, the four bottom lights don't light up. Again, I'm guessing I'm missing something in the options.
Thanks, and keep up the great work
Not sure about the keyboard, I use Swype and turn off auto correct.... But i can still tap on a wrong word anywhere and the word suggestion pops up to pick from...
But for the backlight notification, look for an app called galaxy s settings , should be in your drawer. Change backlight timeout to never.
Phoned in.....
I tried the Galaxy S setting and put the BLN to "always on". Still doesn't work. I've got the NS Tools option for missed calls BLN on, and that's the only time I get the light.

Get the BLN control app. It works for me.
