[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

[Q] CM7 unlock screen fade out animation.

Anyone came across on CM7 unlock screen fade out animation?
I was using CM7 passion (nexus one) nightly #237 and I've learned that everytime I unlock my phone using CM7 lockscreen, it auto fades out into the homescreen. This is kinda cool!
But yesterday I was flashing to the latest update #253. I could not get back the little fade out animation after you unlock the CM7 lockscreen.
So, anyone knows any trick to enable that?
Regards,
Joshua

I was wondering the same thing. Let's hope that someone actually knows.

Menu, settings, cyanogen mod settings, display, screen on/off animation

Yep! That is a CRT-off animation watt9493 is talking about. And we want the LockScreen fade-out animation.

I'm not sure if we are all on about the same thing, but I would think it would be cool if you could make the screen "fade to black" when the power button is pressed and the screen goes off, rather than CRT.

I know what you are talking about... in the latest nightly of i9000 I've got the same problem and it's so weird...

Just set the brightness to max and turn off screen on/off animation in CM Settings.

He means transition from lock screen to home, like this

Unfortunately above ICS transitions does not include the lock screen fade out.

But it doesn't blend (;
If just goes straight to black, to fading involved (on an oled screen anyway)

So, how to do this?

[Q] about widget locker

sometime when i use widget locker to unlock,there are little bit lag
like,when u unlock,will take a few second....but only on GS Note
i'm use GS1(i9000) before,is very smooth when i using widget locker...
is that GS Note problem???because i hear somebody say GS Note's ui system is bad
so,have some patch to solve my problem??THX!!!!

That's because the Note goes to deep sleep when you lock the screen. You can fix this by flashing a different kernel. Check the development section.

I tried it with rocket Rom. It still took a while to unlock. Maybe it because of the app.

I'm using rocker rom v22+abyss kernel3.8,but also have the problem. .....

[Q] Lock screen wallpaper, Density and Vibration in ICS roms :)

Hi guys,
I want to ask some questions relating to ICS roms. I'm sorry if they were asked somewhere else but searching everywhere and I couldn't find the answers I need.
1. Lock screen wallpaper: Is lock screen wallpaper in ICS roms downgrade in term of quality? I found them very blurry and bad comparing to GB
2. Vibration + sound: I saw MIDNOTE had an addon to fix this problem, with Sound toogle but after changing to Sound Vibration, I still did not get vibration working with notification for SMS.
3. LCD Density: any apps compatible with ICS to change the density out there? without editing the build.prop?
4. Battery: with all the ICS roms out there atm, how are their battery life comparing to GB roms?
Anyone know the answers?
Thanks a lot for reading and answering. Really appreciate that

1. I changed lockscreen successfully on all the current ICS releases (yes, I gave all of them a go before settling for imilka's AOSP) from Google gallery without any noticeable quality degradation.
2. can't help with that, because I never use vibration, so I've never expored it
3. don't be afraid of editing build.prop. It's a piece of cake using Rom Toolbox. Just backup your original build.prop and give it a go.
All other LCD changers are fairly unreliable (bootloops and such).
4. my battery life was pretty good with all of them, especially with AOSP. I managed to squeeze out 5+ hours of screentime yesterday (no gaming though). I think it's safe to say that battery life equals or even exceeds the GB one.
Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for your answer
1. I did that too, but the pic look very bad. Really dont know why
3. Thanks a lot. Gave it a try and successful in changing to 240 dpi
4. I will test it further. Glad to hear that

laggy phone why???

its strange or its the same for everybody or just for me .
i have the exinos version and my phone and all galxy phone i had got the same lagg for years
if i use the infinity wall paper i got no lag but if i change the wall paper for home screen and for lock screen the moment i open the lockscreen to hone screen the animation lag again...when i slide the screen to open the phone from lockscreen to home screen isee lag in the animation when i have on the home screen icons its weird do you see that too?

The only slowdown I noticed was when I left my knox-secured folder, like 0,5s lag before it closed. Do you have a branded software or unbranded?

wondering if its not the launcher being throttled. on infinity theme they might have to get it optimized by not letting the system sleep some cores to allow a seemingless experience. when you change to static wallpaper,this optimization is removed to prioritize battery . but as we can see, it would be nice to get at least the same performance on non infinity themes/wallpapers

I disable and/or shorten animations in developer options on every device I have. Makes a difference. On the Note I use pitch black wallpaper from the play store. Keeps it simple and frees up resources. Those animations, etc take more cpu. So I don't use 'em.

Just get Nova Launcher and call it a day. NO lag.

Are you using default theme or some thurd party theme? Incompatible themes can lag phone too.

Unfortunately any third party launcher still hanging or lagging when an incompatible theme used in samsung themes.
Default or some themes seem to help overcome lag specially in exynos note 9.

When the lag observed, open samsung members app n submit feedback as problem. Already submitted once but more submitting gives it high priority to resolve

you right no lag but nove dont have or dont control the animation from lockscreen to home screen ...this the note 9 animation...

the funny i notice that if i remove the icons from the home screen and leave only the icon on the docs so thers no lag at all but when thers icons on the home screen the animation from lockscreen to home screen make it lag

Oh, I see. I tend to turn off most animations, or at least set them to 0.25 in the developer options.

updatek i found asolution that will kill all lag between stuff from lockscreen and home screen and beyond
we need to change in developer option only the duration animation to 0.5 little faster and its kill all lag check this lots time not even one lag great!!!!!
but change only the duration cause all the rest animation got no lag :good::good::good:

.25? Where is that?
And I think the OP is trolling. Have you seen the topics he is creating? But his iPhone X doesn't do this.
And I don't know why people keep thinking changing the animation duration to a lower setting gets rid of lag. It is just an option to cover up all latencies interacting with phone and to give it a little flair. Changing the animation timing doesn't do anything for lag. If anybody wants to argue the point change the timing higher and use for awhile and then go back to a lower setting.

Sorry, my memory failed me. I guess it's only 0.5.
Changing the animation definitely APPEARS to make things faster and less laggy. Whether it's placebo or not, I'm not sure.

Samsung always has a form of lag. Its in their DNA

Facing this lag from day one.
Somehow the default theme helped a bit but I am still not convinced n Samsung shall provide fix for lag.

Most likely everyone is experiencing similar thing but you just have a very low tolerance for "lag".

Hmmm, its actually annoying to see such laggy premium phone.
When samsung account is added, somehow samsung cloud auto sync n auto backup is on. Cloud sync always have additional lags. Disbaling cloud sync or removing samsung account completely seems to help in handling lag.

HI friends,
Just install the HTC Sense 9 ported apps like Sense Home launcher, Weather, clock etc.
Everything will work smoother and faster on this note 9.
