[app] WHITE G1 USERS WE HAVE DARK KEYS FOR 1.5, FINALLY!

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.

I am having the same problem. So were do you go in windows to change this problem? Thanks for any help.

Nevermind i figured it out. thanks.

after installing screen doesnt go to sleep by itself

Works for 5.0.2Hr5-A2SD...thanks

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.

[App] Hero Notifications - Removed LEDs 10/12/2009

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=569586
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.

if I installed HeroLed.apk do I need to uninstall that before installing this? thanks! great work!

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.

ok let me give it a go with astro since i already have it on the card..

how does this really look like? any SS?

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.
Source and app in included zip.
First file posted did not have the blinking text messages. I don't think anyone downloaded it.

I was just testing a new beta that I cooked up with BLAZING purple lights. I think they are pretty cool. Will probably include this if it's OK with the author! ?

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?

[Q] Custom shutdown animations

Does anyone have a custom shutdown animation they would be willing to share or know of a site where I could find one? My google searches haven't turned up anything of quality..

That Verizon shutdown animation is pretty lame. I'd like to replace or remove it as well. I'm sure I can, I just haven't had time to mess around with it.

Check this post out, I am using it for now until something better turns up (meaning it is not the best quality IMO), I suck at this kinda art work, else I'd make my own.

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.

i noticed that as well, i think root explorer just doesn't clear the thumbnail cache for some reason

That messed with me for a while. It wasnt til I shut down for something else I noticed it took.
Must have replaced the file 5 times thinking it didn't work.

Although the stock galaxy s shutdown animation isn't the greatest, I have to say its MUCH better than the stock Verizon one. I'm not going to be around a computer for a while, would someone mind posting a silent shutdown.ogg so we could get rid of the stock shutdown sound straight from the phone? Thanks in advance, guys!

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>#
Audio Tuning
*#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.

That is rad! did exactly what I wanted to do, and without meddling with any internal files.
What are some other hidden tuning menus?

Car Home apk

If your like me, and like old school droid programs but cant get them to install on new age devices here is one. This is the Car Home apk for anyone that would like to use it. Install as you would any apk.
If you run into any problems side load it from something like dropbox or push via ADB. Once you install both the launcher and the car home apk then boot into clockwork recovery and fix permissions, reboot and you should be good, but you should only do this if you have some force closes or anything like that.
If you use and like hit the thanks button!

Good stuff can't wait to see more work here

My phone button brings me to my contacts like I would assume. Why not just remove that button by long pressing on it and dragging it to the trash? Then add a shortcut to whichever application you like.

is there a way to take advantage of the full screen? the icons are just in the middle of the screen. I dont know if this is true for all of you.

I can decompile it and make them bigger, that shouldnt be a problem.

[APP][ROOT]ScreenToggle - turn off your screen (e.g. while plugged into hdmi)

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)
Thanks to [email protected] for his work on this.

does it work on xoom2?
Hello!
Fanstastic app.
Does it work on xoom2? with 3.2.2 rooted?

I used the old method that this thread started as, using market apps. Unfortunately it doesn't work with the Cornerstone version of the Eos roms. What exactly is app? Can you provide more detail? I don't just download apps to try them without some type of info...

I use the current method on cornerstone #16.

"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!

Please excuse my ignorance but, how would I go about installing this??

i dont understand your question.
just install the app and execute to turn off your screen and again (remember the position) to turn it back on.
or use a starter app like "Shaking Shortcut" to toggle the screen on and off by shaking your xoom.

NO!!! don't flash in recovery, i say that, mainly cause I don't know what it will do... you can install the app while ics is running, I think I used astro but can't remember. What you just asked was the same thing I had wondered.

You´re right. Thanks for the correction.
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?

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.
