Trackball colors and CM6 / enom 2.9.2

Sorry if this is a naive / frequently asked question, but I've searched and haven't found an answer.
Does anyone know why trackball colors only seem to work for mms/sms in CM6 / enom 2.9.2 (and possibly on other custom froyo ROMs)?
Enomther's ROM even has settings for different apps, but they only seem to work for sms. Other notifications come through with the standard white flash.
I thought froyo was supposed to have native support for trackball colors?
Is it just the apps don't support it, but if that's the case how come some of the apps that bring up colored trackball notifications on custom 2.1 ROMs don't on these 2.2 ones?

Did you try enabling "Trackball flash while screen on" on Enomther?
Trackball colors in Froyo are pre-selected and you can't change them, unless you use Trackball Alert app, or use custom ROMs. Also, the phone wouldn't flash anything by default when the screen is on.

I know you can't change the colours on stock 2.2, but I'm talking about custom roms (CM6, Enom).
The only notification color I can get to work is mms/sms, on either of these roms (screen on or off).
Every other app/notification gives a white flash (and on Enom's rom it doesn't matter what I set in the spareparts trackball settings).

Just tried it on Enomther with Email notification, indeed stays white.

Gmail app does not have trackball colors is enom's ROM, it has been this way for as long as I can remember.
SMS, voicemail, missed call and the native Email app all light up for me the colors I select.

Gmail Notifier will give you different colors on stock Froyo or custom roms. It's what I use.
In the development section there's an active thread that enables trackball flashing in succession of all the alerts you have waiting...Those mods are a hit and miss as they will work with some (CM, Modaco, and some others) but DONT work with a few as well. If you try them out, just make sure you nandroid because if it doesn't play nice you'll get stuck in a loop during boot animation

Cool, thanks. Got confused, thought that Email stands for Gmail too.
Tried using Gmail notifier, the major problem with it is that it can't be turned off. And I allow Gmail notifications only on special occasions. Guess I'll stick with the white light.

didn't know that about turning it off...Locale sort of puts my phone in the correct mode to take care of this, but I'm finding the location setting lagging quite a bit or sometimes not picking it up at all.

Colored trackball flashes for Gmail work for me on on Enom's 2.1 rom (1.9.2), but not on the 2.2 version.

CM6 you can on the MMS, the rest, there is no option for color. It doesn't support the trackball alert either.

Yup, but my question is: Why?
2.1 based custom roms had coloured trackball alerts for everything.
why not 2.2?

Enom has colored alerts for everything but Gmail, but you can download gmail notifier and get lights for everything.
Most other 2.2 roms work with trackball alert for colored trackball alerts.
Im confused on what your asking for?

As I say, I can't get any to work apart from mms on enoms 2.2.
It's not just gmail that doesn't work for me. Missed call, answer phone message etc are all white flashes too, no matter what I set (this is with a fresh install btw).

CM6 is just a release candidate. Given some time I'm sure a lot of liked features from previous CM's will begin to work there way back in.

Possibly look at your install. If it is working for everyone else and not you im leaning towards a bad install or backup.
I personally hate titanium backup as almost everyone who reports issues with installs uses it.

[Q] Self rebooting latest stock 2.1 ROM

Hi,
Today, I had self reboot after a recieved phonecall. the other side ended call and my screen stood black and then rebooted.
I had similar problems before, either this would happen or screen just stood black until I pull out the battery, but I was pretty sure it was because of Roadsync.
I allready explained everything here:
kulen said:
I have crashes with stock SE ROM.
and I suspect it has something to do with Roadsync and exchange mail.
I noticed that receving mail and talking to phone at the same time crashes my phone.
So I suspected on Roadsync
So tried to upgrade it, but it crashed again
then I upgraded ROM (to the latest official 2.1), and it did it again, but just once for now.
I suspected it has something to do with Exchange protocol and (or) this ROM or something. But I tried Touchdown and it didn't crash so I know it's Roadsync problem (because if touchdown can work Roadsync should too).
Unfortunatelly I have to use Roadsync because it's SE included, and touchdown needs to be payed.

This time I didn't recieve a mail and I wasn't looking mail or something when this happened.
I have this:
E15i
2.1-update1
M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-534004015
2.6.29
[email protected] #1
2.1.1.A.0.6
ZD Box task killer reports this applications when my phone is on, and I believe it's all that's active (but it doesn't show SE included apps):
Alarm Clock Plus
Tasker - just installed - no profile added
XDA
ZDbox
I also have Roadsync Exchange and Gmail syncing all the time.
Did anybody experience something similar, and what could be the problem,
SE android, apps, syncing, hardware ...?
It's very important for me to have reliable phone, so I would like to solve this problem.
I can't recreate problem, and it only happend second time since I upgraded software a few days ago.
So if somebody has the same problem please post your experience, maybe we'll come to conclusion easier together.
thank you!

Are you living in stone age dude?
First of all, if you dont want custom ROM (wich I suggest you)
ROOT YOUR PHONE, second install System app remover from market, and remove all stock apps that can be removed. (Dont touch gapps).
You can easily find isntructions here on this very forum, it's sticky!
My opinion is - install some custom ROM - try Elelinux or Floyo v0.20 by Racht. Much more stable and faster than stock.
I had same problem like you. Now it's gone.

Well,
I have had HTC Touch Cruise for a few years and I could throw it away a month after I bought it if there were no XDA and custom ROM's.
So, no I don't live in stone age, and I'm not new on XDA and (or) with custom ROM's
The thing is, as I said, I need phone to be reliable, because of my work.I can't play with it, root it, test ROM's or so, because I'm on call support, which includes weekend and night. so I need to catch some time to play with it.
Until then I must use stock ROM, and I'm just gathering information about X8.
And to be honest I want to use stock ROM for some time until I get familiar with phone and android and I'm sure all hardware is ok.
If this is not android problem but, let's say, Roadsync (or hardware or something else) problem then it could happen on custom ROM's too.
so it would be nice to find out what's the problem, if possible
Thank you for your answer, and please tell me more details about problem you had.
did you just have custom reboots, or freezes or what?
did you use Roadsync or any other Exchange mail?
did you try to find out what it was before you installed custom ROM?
thank you

I didnt use any of it, my phone rebooted frequently. After calls too. And it was running in a background.
So, you want reliable phone...
You must root to uninstall these apps. Try it. Its maybe a solution.
Install custom rom without overclock if you want REALIBLE phone. Belive me.
I'll post you all things you need, it will take an hour of your time.

I do plan to install custom ROM. otherwise I would report this to SE also.
but I thought if we figure out what causes this it could help others and maybe on custom ROM's too if there's the same problem.
I was thinking of installing racht's floyo 0.20, but I will not be able to do this until next week for sure. and I still have to figure out how to sync phone with exchange server after that, because I don't want to pay for a new application and I don't want to use cracked one.
I didn't understand what was running in the background for you, and which applications do you think I should uninstall?.
I can uninstall all but the most suspicious - Roadsync because I don't have alternative for it
and even that I won't risk doing at least until next week
but uninstalling SE included apps one by one and checking if phone still reboots is a good way to start searching for a problem. only thing about that is that it only reboots once in a few days so it would take a looooot of time and I wouldn't be sure.
or maybe I could uninstall all of the apps and use a phone for a few days to see if this happens again. and then start searching for a particular app that causes reboot, if it doesn't reboot without apps
but it's too much time consuming for one man (or even a few) that need that phone for everyday use.
I guess if somebody doesn't post a solution I will have to wait until I install custom ROM.
or maybe really post a problem to SE - I don't believe they will do anything about it but maybe it's good if they know people are not happy with their phones.
Got to think about it
Dare-Devil Inside thank you for your help. I appreciate it.
I already downloaded everything I need a few days ago, except the ROM itself.
but if I need some kind of advice I will contact you

I also remember having some reboots when i used the stock rom...
Believe it or not, from the last month that nobodyatall found the sd card removed problem, custom roms are the best... not to mention dioxanh's modules...
I also believe that custom roms may still become better...

They ARE better.
Look this way: we have fully functional custom roms with NO bugs (ok, tiny bugs like compass not working in gmaps and DSP manager is broken) and it's Froyo-based wich automatically means it's better than stock wich is Eclair. Overall, it's much more stable, smoother and faster to use than stock.
Also, custom ROMs are very smooth now (thanks to doixanh and his MDDI lag fix)
And an another thing: no self-reboots at all... when my phone slows down I use ATK and Speed Boost. (Or Fast Reboot app)
Also I run Cachemate once a week.
@kulen: so, before installing custom, root your phone and remove RoadSync and other unused system apps. (Don't uninstall Google apps, phone.apk and similiar)
EDIT:
P.S.: PM me, but in Croatian please, I'm sick of English

I thought all of the SE stuff would be gone when I update custom ROM?
and what app should I use instead of Roadsync for syncing mail with exchange server?
All apps that I found needs to be payed. HTC has exchange support in mail app so maybe some ROM with sense UI could have it included?
I also like Croatian more but this stuff may be useful to others also, so it's better to write in forum.
I'll PM you when I'll have some specific (and I'm sure I'll have) questions that others shouldn't be bored with.

In stock Email app, when you go to log-in, after entering adress and password, it asks you "What type of an account is this?" - One option is Exchange
So, I think stock ROM also have same (or similiar) email app (not gmail) as custom roms so you could try it and see does it works.
If it works, you can update to custom and use that for syncing.
Basically, our email app also supports syncing, like HTC. (seems to support - try first)
By the way: When flashing custom, there's an option backup. So, just before flashing back up your current OS, and flash new one. If you don't like it, or something you need does not work, you can easily go back to your stock ROM and continue using phone as before.

It didn't ask me anything, and I can only chose POP3 or IMAP from menus.
so I guess it could be Froyo stuff if you have that option? or ROM cookers included app from some other phone that supports Exchange natively.

No, this is stock Froyo app.

I installed custom ROM. Racht's Floyo 0.20
I had one self reboot, but right after I installed it and configured mail so I'll consider it's no problem if it doesn't happen again.
camera doesn't work and screen need some time to become bright enough.
everything else seems to be working. so I'll be using it for some time now.

[Q] i9000 sounds profiles

Is there any chance of getting sound profiles on the galaxy s?
I mean like a lot of other phones have, eg, a profile for work, general, outdoor, silent, etc.
I noticed that cyanogenmod 7 had this feature, but I just wanted to know is there any other way to get this feature?
Or is there any way to get it running from cyanogenmod on another rom (stock or custom) ?
Thanks

Which is better NoLed or BLN?

Hi SGS users,
Which is better for battery life?
Does both of them have issues?

More on Android 2.2 NoLed was the problem. And now, BLN in almost all custom firmware.

for me bln is the best way to see notification

+1
NoLED drains my battery ~10% more a day and sometimes it doesnt show notifications correctly.

BLN for me. The new one has setting so you can set how long it stays on for. Never had a problem with it.

I love this feature. I haven't tried NOLed to be honest, but I don't want to change anything
Tapatalk - SGS i9000

I really like NoLed as it have colors for different notifications (SMS - green dot, Missed call - purple dot), but I noticed that it drains battery. So wondering about the BLN.

Hi all,
BLN is a top priority for me, even if it consumes a bit of battery
Cheers

Hi this is very interesting topic to me, Im new with i9001 and I missed led notifications from HTC phones, im using NoLED right now, but i read that i need some BLN kernel to use this app? Is that true? Which kernel did you use? Im running stock KQ7 right now.
NWM... I see this is for oldie S phone thread... sry.

bln +1

BLN +1
As said before, it's almost on every firmware. NSTools can control it.

BLN, because the controll app is in nearly every rom

ICS keyboard and Sms

Hello, I would like to know, is it possible to keep a stock rom, and have the same keyboard as Cm 9? Don't know if it's the same as the normal ICS one. I use the ICS keayboard app from Google Play, it's really good, keyboard is the same, but I liked the way it underlined the wrong words in red, a bit like Microsoft Word!
And also, is it possible to have the same type of sms app? With the pictures of our friend always shown for new sms's and not just bubbles.

For your first issue. You wont get it to underline in red, because that is handled by the SMS app, not the keyboard. and why are you on XDA and using GB anyway?

So, this can't be done with a stock rom?
I'm on XDA because I used to have a Custom rom, CM9 then, Remics. But I use Tango quite often and apparently this app doesn't work with roms so this was kind of a deal-breaker. Moreover, tha camera app and the browsing experience was better with the stock rom, easier to watch Flash videos on my phone
