Incredible 2 Notification LED? - HTC Incredible S

Is the notification LED on the Inc S/2 RGB?

No .. so far all i ve seen is orange and green .. i ve had mine for about a month

Unfortunately not, I tried a couple apps to test it but it is only green and orange.

The apps probably need to update to support the dirc2

I am thinking the LED itself is just a dual LED... Orange and Green, no RGB.

No RBG on a newer android phone, in a world where led notification color options are almost a basic... doesn't seem logical. My girl just got the I2 after having a blackberry for the last two years, and THIS is her biggest disappointment with the phone so far. It HAS to be RBG!!! :/

Im pritty sure i seen the deadly color red... Or was that orange as well?
Will keep an eye on it

I agree. I think the more impressive part about it is that they stuck two LEDs in there (Green and Orange), but didn't bother to just put a single RGB (which I realize is actually three LEDs) for a much better experience. It seems a little lazy.
Hawkysoft - Pretty sure it was just orange.

^Lol. Lazy seems to be like the only possible solution here.
Quite Incredible, that a phone with the capabilities of an incredible s has no RGB led(s).
wat do u think HTC would have lost by adding this

It actually makes sense ... Morons are forgeting what is important and focusing on what they want ... What do they expect us to do with only two colours?

I would guess it's 99% certain that it only has amber and green as all HTC phones since the HTC desire seemed to have been like that.
If anyone wants to confirm, install my app (light flow lite) from the market. Run the app with an SD card in your phone and PM me with the details of the /sdcard/lightflow/tmp/led-ls-output.txt
I don't think my app actually works on the latest htc phones such as this one so I'm guessing they may have changed their permissions on executing the led files.

Pmed you.

Thanks. I can confirm the led's that it has:
green
amber
lcd-backlight
button-backlight-portrait
button-backlight-landscape
flashlight
Obviously out of that list only green and amber are used for the notification light and the rest are for controlling button lights, the screen and the flash.

Sorry, forgot to subsribe to the thread. It seems that they've changed the permissions of getting access to controlling the files. I've got a test build at the moment that may work with it, but only for rooted users as it needs to "su" to the unix shell instead of "sh" like the current market version does.
If anyone wants to give the new dev version of light flow a try PM me and I'll e-mail a version to somebody with root access to try.

I'll test it with temp root. But can't test more than that until xtc clip supports Inc 2.

Adventure Time App - Need some testing

I published an Adventure Time app to the Market recently and a couple of Epic users have reported that it doesn't work for them. I have a hunch about what might be wrong and I changed a few things and need some of you guys to test things out for me before I make an official update.
Below is the link to the apk. Will someone install it and check to see if Finn (the first character) plays sound when you press on him? The other characters shouldn't work, if my hunch is right.

So, just to be clear. You click on a character and then receive a black screen each time?
the board next to the characters on the first screen.. one says stickers that takes me to the next screen (not avail.).. but when I press sounds, screen goes black.. also I uninstalled and then deleted the .apk... dl'd the link again, installed second time, same result.

I was about to suggest this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.geekherd.softbuttonshack
however it is clearly stated that this is not possible on the Nexus S
*ALERT: The Samsung Nexus S will NEVER be supported. Not because I don't want to, but because it is not possible, I own one and I have tried and tried. Samsung (or Google) have decided that the bottom LEDs will always be on as long as the display is on, powered at the same time. Obviously breaking a few APIs as well as the ability to turn those LEDs off based on the light-sensor.*

Testing my flashlight on thrill?
Hi,
I have a recently released flashlight app that seems to have a certain success (it's a port form my iOS app). However a user told me the LED didn't light up on LG Thrills 3D. It seems to work fine for a lot of other devices.
Since I don't have access to this device or any of the same family I was wondering if any of you would be kind enough to download the free version and just tell me if it works for you?
Here's the link: i.smte.ch/aledflashweb

Name calling might not be the best method for getting a helpful response. Just out of curiosity, why are you attempting to keep the keyboard backlit? Does your light sensor not work?

I believe he's trying to say that he doesn't want the light sensor to control the keypad backlight. He wants screen on = lights on and vise versa.

I figured as much, I'm curious why you would want the keyboard backlight always on draining power, unless it was dark enough out that you are having trouble seeing the keyboard (light sensor).

Exactly. I've run into too many situations where the keyboard needs to be backlit to be seen, but the sensor either flickers the backlights on or does not turn them on at all and I can't see the keys. If I could get a screen on, keys on, mod for this, I'd be delighted.
There is an app called "Keyboard Backlight Controller" that accomplishes what you are looking for. If you don't want another app, it might be worth decompiling and using its code to mod your phone to accomplish the same goal.

I've tried this and it doesn't always work. Although it did manage to lock the soft key backlights on.
Yeah I just tried that app too, doesn't seem to work right. I did a quick search and found this:
A: The keyboard backlight can be controlled via /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness It appears that it's a simple on-off control (echoing '0' turns it off, echoing '1' or higher turns it on). For some reason, the default system backlight control stuff seems to set this to "83", but I don't know why. I can't seem to see any difference between 83 and any other number. The file is readable by anyone, but only writable by root, so you'll need root access to the phone to manipulate it this way.
Maybe this will be of some use to you.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Going along those lines, the D3 has 7 files in there, all of which as 0 bytes and contain nothing when opened through the Root Explorer text editor. The 7 are alt-key-light, blue, button-backlight, green, kpd_backlight_en, red, and shift-key-light.
So I'm assuming shift and alt are the keyboard indicators, red green and blue are the flashing indicators, button is the softkeys, and kpd is the keyboard.
Now I'm stuck.
I got the text above from wiki. After looking a little closer it doesn't seem to be relavent to what you are trying to do. After looking around a little more I think the problem your looking at is that the physical keyboard backlights are controlled by the light sensor. I don't think you can control the keyboard independently of the screen.

CM7 has this built in along with turning on/off the softkeys

I wouldn't go as far as removing/uninstalling Blinkfeed, but I'm curious to what extend this new central piece of Sense can be configured/modified. I just played around with Blinkfeed a couple of minutes in a phone shop. You can configure the sources that are shown on these tiles (like calendar, facebook, twitter, etc) but ...
Can I control how often each tile (is tile the correct word?) is updated? The more frequent the tiles are updated, the more battery is used and more network traffic is generated.
Can I control the placement of the tiles?
Can I control how many tiles are shown? E.g. I would like only a calendar tile and no social network tile or news feed tile.
Regards,
Stefan

It was one of the features I wasn't too keen on but it's turned out to be good for a giggle when I've got nothing else to play with. I scrolled 2 left of my homescreen yesterday to see the headline 'Study warns that sex in space is dangerous.'

You didn't need to be rooted to remove blinkfeed. Check out Q12 of the HTC One FAQ and you'll see a couple of ways to be able to get rid of it.
The other method, which requires rooting, is to install a custom ROM. I believe some ROMs may still have blinkfeed included though so you'll need to read the first post (at least) of the ROM threads to find out whether it has it or not

It's a nice feature to have, but give us the option to remove/disable it. I hate it when companies force stuff on you.
