Incredible 2 Notification LED?

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
go figure

If u ask me id say htc was soooo busy securing their nand lock that they forgot the difference

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.

App to disable captive buttons

Is there an app that can disable the lights in the captive buttons?
I still want them to be functional, I just don't want them on.

I'll second this, from a theming point of view, this would be a desirable thing to have... perhaps someone could suggest a hack instead

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.*

Lol yeah. They had me do a factory reset when I called, which caused my phone to get stuck at the create accounts screen (some motorola process FCd everytime I hit finish). I had to use Pete's tools to restore my system/app folder and now its good again( except for the no backlight part). I probably should unroot it too. For now the only way I can get the backlight to work is if the slider is slid halfway. Waiting on my replacement now.

Screen on notification

Is there anyway to stop the screen on Notification? I am rooted and I will happily delete a file or modify code if someone knows the answer.

What do you mean by screen on notification?

Sorry what I mean is when the screen turns on when you get a text message. I do not want the screen to turn on when I get a message.

Open messages. tap menu, settings, and then more. About midways You will see an option to preview message. Make sure that is not checked.

No that just prevents me from seeing who texted. I need to disable the screen from turning on

I did some surfing and found that the screen coming on is an AT&T variant exclusive and cannot be disabled. Sprint's version as well as Verizons does not come on. The preview option still lets it come on, just does not tell you what the message says. So you will just have to live with it unless you want to sell yours and get a Sprint version.

While that's not happening lol. Maybe I can find the build prop line and edit it. Thanks though. If anyone else has figured this out please let me know.

That does not control if the screen wakes up or not when you get a text. That just controls if it shows on the status bar and yes that is stock even for AT&T. His issue is the phone wakes on text and he does not want that. At least not so much that the screen lights up. That feature is an AT&T feature and cannot be disabled with an AT&T ROM.

It seems the attachment in the pic has the option for turning the screen on setting off. I like the stock tom and do not want to change it. Is there a way to just side load the mms.apk from his rom?

If you want to install and use safe strap then you can load and use the xnote ROM. otherwise due to the bootloader being locked there is no side loading on this version of the Note 3.

The post above yours by solarenemy (quoted below) seems to imply that sideloading mms.apk from another rom wouldn't even solve this problem (I don't know whether or nor mms.apk could be sideloaded - I think it could be, via the usual rigamarole for changing system apps):

This sounds like the sort of thing that should be possible using xposed framework... Though I don't know if any modules exist yet which do it.
Flashing ROMs would require safestrap, and could surely get what you want even within the limitations of the locked bootloader - but this is, I think, more dramatic than it needs to be to get what you want.

Your right. There was an option in Wanam. I would have never have thought to use that. Thank you so much.

I had the same issue with Note 2 and now with Note 3.
Fortunately I use Google Hangouts to handle my SMS/MMS and the issue does not occur with Hangouts app. I know its not a solution but I could not find a proper way to disable this with the default messaging app.
On a side note, I still have issue with Calender reminder pop-up which turns the screen on and there is no way to disable it. I have 100s of calendar entries synced through my Google Calender which has one of the default reminder set as pop-up on web interface which triggers the full screen pop-up on phone as well waking the screen.

Solved

In either case. There was an option in Wanam which gave me the feature in the mms settings.

[HOW TO] Enable Navigation/Softkey bar

Hey yall. After trying many methods of enable the soft keys which i really like my self, i finaly found out whats messing it up.
in /system in build.prop there is a bit of code which looks like that in the screenshot. my problem was i kept adding code when i simply needed to change the existing code to 0 instead of 1. as shown in the screenshot
also as you can see they work in the xda app. but the buttons dont work in any other app.
anyone know why? i tried changing resolution in build prop and nothing. so i need some help.
So again. My problem is that i cant get the nav bar to work all the time.

Okay um. Attempted to change DPI in build prop. It did work and change DPI but softkeys still only work on the xda app.
I'm thinking maybe disabling hw capatative buttons will fix the problem.

Sent from my HTC first using xda app-developers app

after doing some research, all i figured out was that i would have to decompile and modify the framework-res.apk...
even though i have experience with making apps, i get so lost in google's apps since they arent compiled with classes, its all pure xml and all of it doesnt make sense, so if anyone could, please, figure out what to do in the framework res, to make the nav bar work better, id be very grateful
you can find it at /system/framework
thanks

Well nice find so far! I really like the idea of on screen soft keys but what other use would it have that we can't get from the 3 hardware one's we've got? Does the screen feel crowded, because I imagine that with the thickness of them it'd be pretty cramped

Well you could give it a go and see what its like when running the xda app. Unless it works normal.
Um..screen isn't really crowded. Its about two status bars thick. Uses? Um...I know it has a recent app button. And if you're using a keyboard it will give you the option to minimize it. Other than that its just a nexus feel. And once you enable it you can use apps or xposed installer to have them minimized and you can toggle them like a status bar when ever you need it.

Well an odexed ROM basically prevents any modifications to the firmware or any major graphic ui change but in turn opens apps faster so I'm guessing that's the problem

That could be the problem.
Stock ROM works really well on my device so I'm not changing it till we get cm.
But I'm just wondering why it won't let the nav bar be persistent, even though I addad a persist command to it. And only works on the xda app
Sent from my HTC first using xda app-developers app

I think I figured out the problem. The framework-res.apk manages the overall layout of android, I just need to figure out which if the 600 xml files does that and give the nav bar a bottom margin.

Major find or not I've found out that the app also works with wordrefernce.com it's an old app. I found out today in French class lol but for some reason the on screen soft keys don't work with the premium xda app. Also I should say that there seems to be a 1 second lag when pressing the on screen keys. Unlike the hardware ones that are instant. I've also got lag everywhere else in the phone.. Don't know if this is a side effect

I've managed to freeze my phone many times just going through the app drawer so...its not a side effect.
I actually get around 700ms worth of lag using hard keys so I don't feel a difference. But yeah for some reason the only work on some apps...
Personal opinion. If you want a nexus feel then you would use it. But its gonna tale a while till I figure out what's wrong. I'm still working with framework-res.apk at the moment

see, i sold my broke first and when i was doing a factory reset and testing to make sure none of my info was present, the nav keys became persistent
So to make the be active 24/7 you MUST DO a factory reset....or maybe just a dalvik wipe, but i did a full reset and they worked fine.

you need to write script (i don't the commands) to enable it after qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Auto Hide Soft Keys 's Spoof Soft Keys option can enable it via hack, so there is a way to activate it on boot when it doesn't show
