[APP] Automated LED Blink for Hero with Preferences (version 2.1.1 Final) 10-15-09

Updated Changelog
2.1.1
- Fixed bug where notifications were not clearing properly.
2.1
- Added Preferences panel for enabling and disabling different notification features
- Automatically detect and disable itself for MyTouch/Magic/Sapphire devices (should eliminate FCs)
- compatible with ROMs with modified build.prop files
2.0.3
- Fix for multiple notifications. Should properly keep track of existing and any new notifications when clearing (especially for Google Talk)
- smaller footprint
2.0.2
- Major fix for length of LED notifications. Should blink until phone gets plugged in or until you accept them.
- reordered versions for clarity.
2.0.1
- Added Trackball notifications to light Green LEDS (should work for SMS, missed calls, voicemails, etc. Make sure to enable in Settings/Sound and Display)
- Added additional color information from Missed Call LEDS.
- Logging enhancements to capture information while plugged in
2.0
- Original release
Install information - add "-r" to adb install command to overwrite previous release. Reboot and you're good to go.
This will be the final build for this app. There's a few ROMs available with custom build.prop settings that will automatically enable the LEDs for almost all of the Hero functions. For the notifications it doesn't do, this app will intercept those notifications and light up the normal LEDs on G1 devices.
It will no longer constantly FC on MyTouch/Magic/Ion/Sapphire users, but it will no longer run as well since it is not needed for those systems (afaik).
By default, the only setting that is enabled is the Hero notifications. You will have to launch the preference application that is now included and turn on both the Charging LEDs and the normal notification LEDs if they aren't automatically being lit already. A reboot isn't required to start if you launch the preference app.
Credits - Shafty for the hard work (as well as a dozen others), jinx for the scheduling program, and manup for the icon.
So, try it out and see if it works if you're interested.

Tried to install this, but didnt see an APK. Where is it?

Awesome, when do you think the final version will be released?

It installed fine but once it did I couldn't find the app?

I'm confused. How did you install it?

Strange... I opened the file on download instead of saving the zip, and there it was. Rebooting now.

Ok, this is the winner. Everything works perfectly!!! Finally true LED support for Hero on the G1. Amazing.

I unzipped the .apk, mounted my phone and put it into the root folder, than installed through ASTRO and it installed just fine. After I rebooted it's not appearing in my apps anywhere. What did I do wrong? I did not have any prior HeroLED app on my phone prior to installing this. It appears in my apps when I got into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications. It's not appearing in the actual app menu though. Help?

Hey, how can I remove my old existing HeroLED.apk? In Manage Apps I'm only able to stop the process but remove button is inactive!? My Device is a HTC Magic (Vodafone Germany).

There's no app for this one (yet). Everything is done automatically after boot.

Sounds like its hung. You may have to remove it manually. Check either in /data/app or /data/app_s. Remove a file there called HeroLED.apk then reboot. Then you should be able to remove it normally.

Its pretty close to final as it is. The only things still left undetermined is MT3G support and how well it performs after the phone 'goes to sleep.'
Those are the only things I anticipate to do some final tweaking for. I've been using it for the better part of 2 weeks, and I can't tell the difference between BFS issues and my app issues; so I'm posting it here for extended evaluation.

Thank you for clearing that up. After I restarted and didn't see it in the app tray I was afraid it was a bad install.

Just to be sure, this works with jac-heroski 2.2b or a?Ill want to get a g1 i currently dont have any android phones yet.

The only problem...
The only problem I have with this is that it doesn't flash for new text messages, is it just me or is this already known?
P.s. I tried using Missed Call, but all the LED's come out red.

It should for any Hero rom, provided there isn't a led app already installed.

If text messages are configured to flash the leds, it should. The color is picked depending on what the app is configured for.
Post or send me a logcat when those messages are coming in. Its possible its using a flag my app isn't configured for.

I'll do that but could you tell me how to do logcat, I don't know how

Connect via usb and if you have the android SDK run adb logcat and direct the output to a file.
Prior to that make sure under Settings/Sound and Display/Notification Flash that the items are checked off.
I may have a fix for this I'll be uploading shortly, just need some confirmations.

I'm an idiot...
nevermind I read what you said wrong, but adb says that it can't make output file read-only file system

I'm an idiot I had notification flash off, i thought it was only for flashing the trackball and since the G1 doesn't do that I turned it off thanks Fictionles

You're correct in a way....
The next update I'll be releasing should pick this up and flash green.

Just wanted to say thank you again for your work. This is absolutely amazing.

notification sound not working others are

like that title states notification for text wont sound tried changing the sound nothing all others work tho ringtone for voicemail everything. just cant figure it out.

Just to cover the basics,
Did you do the following:
1) Go to Settings, Sound, Volume and make sure everything is up?
2) Under Settings, Sound and in the Feedback area, make sure that all the appropriate options are selected?
3) Reboot the phone?
4) Use the volume switch on the side to go to completely silent and then push it back up?

Are your mp3 files playing?
Sent from my captivate running firefly!

yep ive done all that stuff mp3 files will play even when im selecting a new tone on the msgs it plays there just wont play when i get a msg. i am using zedge if that helps

the email ringtone that i set for my msg ringtone worked ugh this is pissing me off.

Are you on a custom ROM? I guess it is possible this is a side effect of a bad flash. Might want to try reflashing whatever ROM you are on. Make sure you backup first, but when you restore don't restore system data. Part of that system data could be your problem and you would just be restoring it, thus putting you in an endless loop.

i am on a custom rom continuum v4 but ive been using this one for almost 2 months

If you have root explorer or another file system app, check in your system\media\audio folder. Under the notifications folder, see if you have anything in there. I have had a bad flash wipe my ringtones before and had to download some I wanted. Just a thought

Try this : go to Messaging/menu/settings. The VERY last option will set your sms tone.

well it started working when i did that i noticed it was really low so when it played i turned the volume up and it started working

[Q] Dual-Sim Management

Hi there,
I've just got the phone for 2 days and I'm little bit surprise with the following:
- I can add specific color to each SIM but when I receive a call it's always the same color on the screen (blue) so I cannot see quickly if it's a personal or pro call.
- Furthermore impossible to add a specific ringtone to each SIM.
1. I've missing something into phone parameters?
2. Is there a mod or another a ROM allowing to modify this?
Thanks
Nicolas

I dont remember about stock...
but on CM 12 or 12.1 you can do all that. See pics (in pic blue and gree, i remove the number calling, but it shoes too, next to Mobile, Eu means I :silly...
Try to do the same way i do on CM maybe it work on stock...
to change the ring...
open phone app, click on ... tree dots on the shears bar/ settings / Calling account/ SIM 1 and SIM 2... and change the ring
to change the color and name is on config/ sim card / click on it sim (but that you have try i think)
I have a XT1069 and use the last version of blisspop V3.2 android 5.1.1 :good:
BTW using a custom ROM lose the warranty in some places, because is need to unlocked the bootloader.

Thanks for your reply.
I did not manage to add this option on the stock ROM, so I've moved to CM12.1 and now everything is as it always should be

Is there any way to choose custom sounds for notifications?

I accidentally selected the phone storage for the location to search for sounds before I changed to settings to always ask and even though I hit cancel at the time I'm stuck with this selection. I made the choice in the Android messages app and tried settings>apps>messages>clear defaults but it didn't change and now I noticed that it's my only choice for other notification sound in other apps too! What am I missing? How do I get it to let me pick the path every time now?

I use Google's messages so I never saw anything that let me choose (also unrooted), but any sounds placed in to notifications folder on the root of the phone and sdcard can be choosen. Just note that it would use the meta tag info, if there are none then it just shows up on list as an entry called 'sound' (possible to have multiple sound entry)

Hmmm... Android message? or the Built in message? Anyway, you could try installing Zedge (ringtones app) and then from within the app try to change the sound. Maybe it will prompt you to reselect the location?

Both apps actually, all notification sounds go to the stick sounds. I can set a sound from Zedge but not to a specific contact or app. I'm looking to get the options back when I click on notification sound in an app.

As a long shot you could try resetting the sound picker app

I don't know which app that is

I ended up just clearing all defaults. It sucks but I couldn't pin point the app.

Well. At least you got it. But for future reference... Maybe look in Settings...Apps... then click on the top right 3 dots.
I found some interesting default apps options.

You can select different ringtones for different contacts. Select a contact you want to change the ringtone for (make sure you've previously downloaded the ringtone you want) and then edit. Scroll down to more then at the bottom of the options you can choose a custom ringtone and message tone.

Ok. Settings...Apps...3 Dots top right corner...Default Apps....Default App Selection....Ask before setting default apps.
You're going to need to clear the default for the app first...then redo it....it will ask, Just once...or Always.

This is what I did after I made my selection. The problem was I couldn't locate the app that kept me from selecting it in notifications do I cleared all defaults. Not a complete loss but mildly inconvenient.

Yeah, unfortunately that would be the only way (since you don't remember the app)...that way, when you select...the option should pop up everytime, as long as you select Just Once everytime.

I'm having the same issue but that options to change message tone is not available on the Oreo Beta, hope the include it in the final build.

Possibly. Although the Contacts app is made by Samsung and isn't included in Android stock (as far as I know). So you might just have the most stable version available whilst they tweak it to work with Oreo.
I personally don't use it as no one ever messages me/calls me. :laugh:

Oppo Find X5 Pro PFEM10 - Bugs

I have had Oppo Find X5 Pro PFEM10 for over three months and observed some issues. Some might consider minor but very annoying and I feel if I cannot find a solution this phone will go to garbage. My current carrier is T-Mobile.
The first issue, the built in clock application widget which has also weather integration, most of the time shows incorrect location. For example: I am in Florida, and it shows weather in Atlanta. Dual clock widget while I am in Florida, shows current location somewhere else. I tried to remove location, set it again but the issue repeats. The other applications that are not default shows accurate location.
The second issue is related to location and camera. I take pictures and it shows inaccurate location here as well. It is very annoying.
The third issue is related to the WhatsApp application. When you on the mobile data, you can receive messages but you cannot make or accept callsl, it shows as Connecting ... but it doesn't go through.
There are other issues with this phone like Google Pay doesn't work and apps that depend on it. Nike App payment doesn't work. etc. less annoying but honestly what is wrong with the manufacturer? Why this phone such a piece of "art"?
Anyway I wanted to pick the greatest brains of this holly place and see if the issues I mentioned can be solved to save this creation of one kind from becoming the trash.

So you have the same issues, right?
As for the sound, I have the same problem. If I am not mistaken I had to reset the custom notification settings for the app, and then let it run in the background. And now I have notifications. The problem with this firmware, you need to enable permissions/notifications/settings in multiple places, and some of them are not intuitive.
