Well I have searched and searched and can not seem to figure out how to disable the service led without disabling all the functions of ALLledmgr. Of course that works but that means vibration and a number of other things. Someone had mentioned the nled reg entry hack tried that no luck. I have looked through countless dlls and files for any reference that might come close to disabling the service led but I just cant seem to find it. So many other phones(cheap phones) let you disable it why cant this one?
I remember back to a simple hex edit on my motorola that could do many things we even had script files that could change the leds colors etc and do crazy things on boot etc(that was linux of course).
So any of you pros out there came across anything that might be related to the service led?
i love the service LED's if it werent for them i wouldnt like my TyTN as much .. they really mean that much to me
sadly we're not in the good ole' motorola days (that was bliss) but i have the perfect soloution! :
Get a black permanent marker, and colour in the Service LED
et voila!! it no longer flashes and you still have vibrate, sounds etc ...
LOL
That´s was a really tip problem solution !!
Service LED does not bother me at all.
Or gently mash it with a sharp knife or screwdriver. (same solution for that silly light/speaker on cars that warn you to put a seatbelt on)
Maybe I wasnt clear about what I wanted. When I meant service led I meant that it just constantly flashes green to tell you that you have a signal. I want my leds to work, but the way I want them to. I want them to flash when I have a missed call or unread message etc. I just do not want it to constantly flash green in a service area Im always in a service area.
Many of you laugh of course and say it doesnt bother you etc. But I bet that when it is figured out where and how it is access and then being able to customize it change its colors etc, those who laugh will also be among the people using those nifty custom leds(blue for bluetooth,green for message,orange for missed call etc. So try and support the idea instead of laughing at it.
For me seeing that green flash over and over is just a constant reminder of something I can not customize on my super customized phone.

try this out
Wow the attatched file actually worked! Still maintain all other functions with only the service led disabled. Im going to start ripping it apart and see if I can come up with anything new.
Thanks much for finding it, making it, or whatever, hats off to you.

that one was too early. it has a bug when charging. i have a 3.1 version that reads if the charger is on and works better. if you want it let me know.
this 2.1 version is the one i use.

Please do post the 3.1 verison and thanks
The first one you posted seems to e 3.0 the second 2.1, ill try it to see whats the difference but 3.0 works fine even when charging except it gives you a flashing orange led instead of constant on led, letting it charge to full and see what happens. Yes please post any versions you have so I can try to see the different modifications they are doing between them.
I can see that it is simply using a mort script to scan the notification que for changes and using the treo exe to make modifications. Im in the process of decompiling the treo exe to see what mods can be made.
My concern here(which may be a retarded one so small) that you have a fight going on with the phone constantly telling it to do one thing and the mortscript and treo exe telling it to do something else. I can see that mortscript is using about 3%cpu cycle every 5 seconds or so. Not sure if that is going to impact battery usage or not, but my end goal would be do away with the fighting and just having the os do what its supposed to do.

I would like to request that anyone who likes or uses this app please stop by thier forums and send a thank you. After reading through all the threads they put alot of time and effort to make it work. And although it was not designed for our phones by chance it works. I have already sent my thank yous and hope more will do the same.

Thanks

No I have not done anything at all since it is already functional, what I am currently looking into is the other three leds that we have and what can done with them. Im also trying to figure out more info on our leds, if they are only tri color, etc and if its possible to get our two green and red phone leds blinking as a notification as well, but I am pretty sure those two leds are controlled together as on or off and probably cannot be controlled individually, time will tell.

Did this work on HTC Artemis (o2 Orbit) too?
Thank you!
Just a quick note of thanks to CodyPPC for the link!
That damned service light has been annoying me for months - I've taken to putting the phone in a draw / turning it upside down to stop the flashing annoying me when trying to get to sleep in an otherwise totally dark room!
This was the 1st site to come up on a google search - and am really impressed - cheers!
I'll send thanks to the devs on the other forum as well.
It looks like you're looking to enhance/fiddle with this further - controlling the LED's in various ways - - have you made any progress? are you in a position to share any code (compiled/source) or tips? I just want to dabble - have no real goal in mind - -- - the main thing is no more flashing green!!! woo!
Confirmed working on 1.51 ADP as well (and most likely UK also, I imagine, since it also lacks the Cramfs lol, sounds like a disease).

Oh yeah huh? That's a good idea =) unfortunitely my stinkin computer won't let me do screenshots from a DVD no matter what program I'm running it with =( which limits me to whatever I can find running image searches. I also wanted to incorporate as many characters/ships as I could into the clock, it being a centerpiece of sorts. Tried a few dif ideas and ended up liking that one the best. Kept it simple and clean. Everything else I tried got too muddy and didn't look sharp enough.
It requires you to redraw the image, but here it is.

Not the US one (works fine w/ UK and ADP, I'm running ADP 1.51 myself)). Haven't tried it myself (so feel free to give it a shot and let me know) but from what I understand, if flashed w/ the US build of 1.51 you won't have the modified launcher (app drawer) elements of the theme due to an extra measure that JF took to compress the files within the Launcher archive... (that seems to be a headache to edit so I haven't bothered messin w/ the US build at all).

It's because of those cram things that you have to go around and stuff, but it does work on ADP 1.51.
Hey was going to tell you something, or a little suggestion, but after seeing some other themes, I was wondering that instead of posting full pictures for icons, is there anyway that you can post figures. If you look at Nightmare before Christmas one I'm sure you would understand what i mean. That's an idea of course, still like your work so don't get me wrong *shakes fist incase*

Yeah it's possible. It's all variable on the source that i get my hands on. I'm not sure if KilaTattz actually created those icons (drawing them from scratch) or if he found them somewhere/created them by editing a source... but I imagine a lot of times you see icons like that, they're even drawn from scratch or taken from a windows desktop theme of somekind.
I usually create my icons from pictures cuz there's a lot more to work with. In some cases they're almost figurine-like (see the swordfish Browser icon, Dialer icon, Calculator icon, and youtube icon from the bebop them if youre running it, or even better, most of the icons i did in my megaman theme - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515742 ).
But I'm guessing he's got legit enough graphic design skills that he drew them himself or he found a killer desktop theme that he pulled the icons from.
when working w/ Bebop and Champloo, Robotech and Spider-man... desktop themes are/were either non existant or completely outdated. There are some icons I used from a windows desktop theme that looks straight outta the 90s on my spider-man theme lol. They looked aight though. If you have Openhome you should scope it out. They jus threw it up on the Market via an Openhome skin the other day.
As an avid Rockbox user, I was excited when I discovered this page with precompiled apk's for us. Link I then sadly found out there was no VGA version, only QVGA, HVGA, and WVGA. So I decided to compile it for our beloved VGA RAPH devices. I attached the .apk. Download and install rockboxfixed.apk, download this and extract the "fonts" folder (Inside the zip it is /rockbox-fonts/.rockbox/fonts) to the "rockbox" folder on your sdcard then it should look like the second image and should be more usable. It appears, however, if you extract it to the sdcard you have to manually use the rockbox filebrowser or the theme settings to set it to your selected font. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Outdated: Haven't really gotten to test it so I expect I made an error somewhere, possible in signing the app or whatnot. I'll fix it tomorrow.
P.S. For anyone who doesn't know what Rockbox is: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/WhyRockbox
Edit: Noticed some issues then realized I compiled it for 640 x 480 landscape not 480 x 640 portrait like it should be. Uploaded a new version. *Crosses fingers*
Edit 2: To fix the tiny font follow these steps:
1. Download and extract this and extract it to your sdcard so you have a folder called "fonts" at the root of your sdcard.
2. Open terminal emulator and type: su
3. Type cd sdcard
4. Type cp -af fonts /data/data/org.rockbox/app_rockbox/rockbox
That should do it. It should now look like the second screenshot when you open rockbox. I'll see if I can incorporate the fonts into the apk but not sure how to do that right now.
Edit 3: Wow, just discovered something. You can just copy the fonts folder the the "rockbox" folder at the root of your sdcard. Makes it significantly easier.
Thanks for doing that. Man, i used to have an iRiver, and used and grabbed daily builds for that thing. For other's, it's a really awesome mediaplayer. Well, more then that. I was playing arcade games and doom and such thanks to Rockbox really. This was amazing for an MP3 player that is.

Sent from my MSM using XDA App
Downloaded it, and will give it a shot later and report back. Thanks again.
Ok, tried it last night, and not usable. Something about the screen size might be wrong, as the screen fill's up the top left corner (about 1/16 of the screen), and the menu is so small you literally have to squint to read the text, instead of it filling the whole screen. I don't have a picture, but honestly, if you think about an icon size in "Sense", the whole screen menu is honestly MUCH smaller in size in whole then 1 Sense icon.

Wanted to let you know that the fonts fix doesn't work on HTC Desire w/ Froyo. Sort of did everything as described but nothing.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

That's a native Android device... Not sure why you're posting in the Fuze section. Do they have the same resolution, and there is no RockBox app that is for the Desire...? I'd be surprised.

First off, you should download the WVGA version from here not the one I posted. Second, did you try copying the fonts folder to both locations, within the data folder and the sdcard? Just curious if one might work and not the other. I also changed the first post to be a little more clear. Actually I'm having a little trouble with getting it to recognize the fonts on the sdcard too. I just took the rockbox people's word for it. One way to fix it is to use the rockbox filebrowser and just select the font you want. That should do it.
P.S. I'm no dev either, I just know how to use a Linux command line somewhat.

You're very welcome. Timestretch has nothing to do with me, as I'm sure you already know. That's up to the real rockbox devs to incorporate. Just out of curiosity, what do you use timestretch for? I use it for learning guitar licks in songs.

That's sounds like there was a stable Rockbox build for Android which totally isn't true. It's *unstable* and largely unusable. 3.7 is stable for a lot of other devices, but not even a single android phone.

I've been looking for a live walpaper that reflects the battery charge level.
Came across Asus MyWater, it's extremely nice, but apparently it won't work at all outside Asus Transformer and its Xoom port. Forcecloses upon trying to assign lwp...
So, found "Liquid Battery" which also force closes..
Any other full screen LWP's to this end ? Not interested in widgets, that i can get easily...
Any ideas ?
Phone runs latest CM9 nightly (as of post date/time).
I've been using asus water on my sgs2 for ages
i've used Neon Clock GL and it could show battery indicator, cpu meter, memory meter, compass, calendar..
u can get it at play store for free..
@Brendo: According to your sig your S2 is on 2.3.6. Mine is on CM9 4.0.4 ICS. Did you try Water LWP on ICS ?
@Gorjess: Nah, looks a bit meh and isn't really what i'm looking for.
Cheers...
Anything like MyWater but not as gorgeous ? Something that drains background as battery discharges ? May not be "rotatable", as long as its full screen...
There are 2 here:

Well, i got different results (buddha battery, the whole idea is a bit wtf )... No matter. No need for all this bickering... Its petty.
As for your post, i did try orange juice one. For some reason it would display but it will not animate when set. It will animate in preview though.
My CM9 is freshly installed, wiped couple of times before use, so it has to be something in the CM that does this. Not sure what though...
Ok.
I've been looking, and the highest rated wallpaper is this (Although paid unfortunately) -

Although it seems you may have sorted your installation problem, it's worth bearing in mind.
EDIT:
A free version is also available:

Cheers.
Yeah, looked at that, but its more of a gimmick. Well MyWater is as well but at least it has some level of precision in depicting level of charge.
If i knew how to program stuff i'd write very simple one that, say, inverts a bitmap image of your choice at the level of charge 1% at a time from top to bottom, no animations no nothing. Just a simple thing. Cant find anything simple as that. Everything is more or less "gimmickyfied" in some way. Fancy battery eating animation, acc sensor usage, etc...
EDIT1 its bull**** like this:

Understandable.
As a last throw of the Dice, the MIUI battery bar works well on AOKP roms, although not a LWP, it's not intrusive and is battery friendly:

Rooted and installed CM11 on my G Pad but only kept it for a few minutes do to how bad it looked. I understand that with KK icons got bigger, but CM11 takes it to a whole new level. Icons and keyboard are grossly huge and it looks like poo. Also, i hated the split notification bar. So basically all of the UI elements looked like they're blown up from a phone, but the status bar got the split tablet treatment? Guess I'll stick with stock and G2 xposed until someone can fix how bad these two issues look. Other than that, the rom was fast, but I'd rather not have my tab look like crap than to have speed...

CM runs great, theme it to your liking dude. Get Nova Launcher and make the icons smaller. Trebuchet isn't something you HAVE to use. You can do what ever you'd like. Tell you what, I'll go ahead and say the LG stock rom is the one that looks like shiez. By all means tho, stay on it. Doesn't matter to me. Just that I never heard your complaint before. But I suppose it's fair enough. But you can remedy all those "faults" of yours. So this thread just seem.. Ignorant. If you know what I mean.

You know...you're absolutely right. I should have looked around and found that I can change the DPI! Lord knows why it was set to 340 when stock is 273. That helps that, but I don't think the split status bar can be changed to a single one. So there are some things that can't be done...

I'm sure at some point I changed settings /notification drawer /then ticked show in drawer (and I think tick linked layout) and that gave me a single status bar. But it's not working as I remember on the rom I'm on atm. I may have achieved it when I was playing around with the settings on GravityBox (I don't use anymore).
So maybe with a bit of research you could get it working.
All the best rich

I've actually changed my tune on CM11. Not only does it fix the sh*t sound coming out of the speakers on the stock ROM, but the device is now overall snappy and more enjoyable to use. Even though I like the light theme that lg uses, I can't say that CM looks too bad. Oh, and download an app called 'build prop editor' change the 'LCD Density' to 273-300. This makes everything the size it should be. For some reason it's set to 340 right out of the gate and it makes it appear far too large. The only thing that I actually miss about the stock ROM is the notification drawer. I really really really hate the split one for a device that's not all that big. Hell, even my Note 10.1-14 has a single drop down that looks better than this...

Came to the forum to ask exactly about the sound - whether flashing a custom rom like CM would improve it, because honestly, I am greatly dissapointed with how it sounds. I have reasons to believe that it's not only a matter of the speakers but some weird DSP **** LG has put there - some kind of lousy compression... Would you care to elaborate on the sound, in what ways did it improve? Sorry for highjacking this post (oh, by the way, I used to have a - now broken - Nexus 7, the notification drawer works like that even on smaller screens and resolutions like the old Nexus 7 has, but personally I like it!)

Does your tablet have a weird boxy sound to it where speaking voices sound like they're in a tunnel? Cm 11 fixes it. The sound isn't as Loud now at the low and mid range, but still is loud with volume all the way up. But at least it's clear and sounds great.

I'm glad to hear that actually, I was sure that this was some crazy EQ settings behind this!
