LG Touch LED Notifications (Updated to Support Nitro!!)

Hello all,
I am creating this thread since we all at one point had a discussion regarding having some kind of notification alert on our phones the moment we achieve Unlock.
Well guess what, Xigzil aka MARTIN BÖRJESSON has an app on the market called LG 2X/Black/3D Notifications. I've installed this on the phone, and unfortunately, it does fully support the phone yet to work properly. I've reached to Xigzil and he will try to help and update his app so it will work with our phone but he will be needing our help. Since he does not have the phone, he will need things from us, so let's do our best to help Xigzil in achieving this.
For now, this will just be placeholder until he has decided to visit us here. Hopefully it won't be long
App has been UPDATED!! Nitro is now supported, download it here: LG Touch LED Notifications

What unlock?
/me confused.

Bootloader sir....we had a long discussion over here about notification LED remember, n there was some consensus that it would be the first thing to do once we achieve an unlock bootloader

UPDATE!!
So Xigzil has just updated his app!! It is now called LG Touch LED Notifications since it supports much much more LG phones, including our dear LG Nitro HD (P930)! I have not tried it just yet, just noticed that the update kicked in and that one of the supported phones is the Nitro. So go download it and give it a try and let us know how it is!
You can download it here: LG Touch LED Notifications
To Admin/Chris: Please move this thread to either General or Themes/Apps as it no longer pertains to a development effort. Thank you.

Hmm. Not sure whether I like it or not. I though maybe it'll be a fade in and out kind of effect but it just blinks. And all three buttons blink. Going to keel it for a while and see if its really useful.

I thought the same thing too. I guess it's kind of useful if I just have my phone on the table and I'm staring at something else, until it starts blinking and gains my attention. I do think however fade options would be fantastic, and if only one button would light up.
Maybe something like Gmail - Menu button
SMS - Home button
Other - Back button

Moved to general as asked. Don't forget, if you need me just send me a pm.

Is the ability to control each of those buttons individually built into the software, though? I mean, I thought it was all or nothing when it came to the button LED's.

eh, no K9 and google voice support

Yeah all or nothing for the buttons. Atleast we have some kind of notification now for the Nitro/Optimus LTE !

I like putting my phone face down so the speaker is up. Would it be possible for a notification app to blink the camera's LED flash?

Lol! [email protected], that's exactly the same thing that's on this thread, the same app made by the same guy
Liteon, to answer your question, I use this: Flashlight Notifier
It basically flashes the camera's LED when something triggers it. You can set it however you want, and the pattern on how the LED flashes too. It's very cool, but mind you, they flash really really bright, so in a dark area, expect people to jump out of their skin when this thing goes off lol!
I use both LG touch Notification and the Flashlight Notifier on this phone, so I can see the notification regardless of how you face your phone.

ooooohhhhhhh ok hahaha!

I'm trying to get this app to work, and it's simply not doing it!
What settings does everyone use for it?
I have root access and have allowed it with superuser.
My phone is running Kernelpanic 0.3, and it is a bell optimus LTE

For anybody that uses WidgetLocker...

Are you able to power off your phone from the lockscreen? On my nexus it seems that all the buttons have been disabled.
I am on stock 4.0.1 ICS btw and I have noticed the same thing with my galaxy tab 10.1.

Not me. The option comes up, but wont accept a touch.

Is WidgetLocker updated to android 4.0 yet? I'd definitely would be using it...hmmm

ICS source code became available, when? Nov 14? Last WidgetLocker update was only Nov 18 and description makes no reference to ICS. I'd say no, it is not fully updated for compatibility with ICS yet.
I have the same results as described above by OP. That's really the only problem I have though. Otherwise it is working fine on ICS.

Widgetlocker works just fine for me, and I am in fact able to make use of the buttons from the power menu.
Stock & rooted 4.02

Yeah I can't click the pop up buttons either, can't remember ever needing to though so it doesn't bother me.

Yea it doesnt bother me much either, it was just a little inconvenience i noticed while using it. Its only an extra second to unlock the phone and then press the power button.
Just wanted to know if I was the only one.

sometimes i can, sometimes i can't, it's not consistent
(stock rom, unrooted)

Sorry to get OT, but I CANNOT get handcent to pop up messages over Widgetlocker now. It worked on Gingerbread. Any suggestions would be awesome as the dev of Widgetlocker just ignored my email.
If I could set a custom lock screen wall paper and add widgets to the stock unlock screen I would have no use for widgetlocker, but as for now...I love it. Just this one issue.
In an attempt to contribute, No, I cannot. I push "Power off" but it will not work unless I unlock and then do it. I am on stock 4.0.2.

the only thing bothering me from the current version of widgetlocker is the lock screen comes up when I am on a phone call...
i have to unlock the screen in order to end a call

the Handcent popup works fine for me when WidgetLocker is on the lock screen. i don't remember changing any setting in WidgetLocker to make this work. are you using the latest version of Handcent (3.9.10) from the market?

I have a question for all of you - have any of you tried to use WidgetLocker on a custom ROM?
Terminators run on Android

I have. Works great on arhd and aokp

Yes, and it will pop up if the phone is on and at the home screen or in an app, but it will not "Wake" widget locked or show the message over the top of it when I go to unlock it. :/

Soft keys??

Is there any way, or app that I can use to alert me via soft keys when new text messages arrive?
Thanks in advance

Of course, assuming you are on gingerbread and have a kernel that supports BLN.
app is BLN control

I am on ICS running the IML74K_Ics_Perfection II rom. I tried to install the Synergy kernel but ended up with a boot loop. Any ideas on how to remedy this issue or point me in the correct way.

Bud, you can't run gingerbread kernels on ICS. Which also means you can't have softkey notification on ICS. Flash aN ICS kernel and you'll be fixed.

From what I recall synergy is a gb kernel. U cannot use a gb kernel with an ics rom. Until source code is released, u have to pick. Either no ics, and bln control works, or use ics and forgo bln until source comes out

Thanks!

You can try an app called Noled, it doesnt use softkeys though. It uses the screen to light up icons.

I use BLN pro (ofcourse with a compatible kernel and a GB rom).
It's pretty neat and can be configured for your sofkeys to blink at a custom rate(I set mine at half a second off and on) so it looks like regular leds. Some iphone users think its pretty legit!
Only reason I have yet to switch to ICS is because of no BLN support, no OC and no DOCK audio

[R] Ventrilo for Jellybean?

Currently, Ventriloid and Mangler are non functional for the Android JB firmware. Although the Ventriloid dev has posted a temp fix in the app description, it crashes alot and will not serve much use for me. Is it possible for someone to post a fixed app or a way to access vent on JB?

Just wanted to jump in and mention that I am having issues too. Samsung SII, cm10. When I start ventriloid is initially says connecting, but then very often goes back to mobile's home screen. It then leaves a notification bar entry saying that it is connected. When you click on that, it does its two vibrates and goes off entirely. Sometimes I can get it going again, but is very fiddly. Dont know if this helps. Hope so.

Have downloaded and it seems to work well. (Did loose the Ventriloid icon though!) One comment: One must tick the box Enable Global Push to Talk in order to see key. That is fine, but it does cover up part of you keyboard if you, for example, need to type in a password for a channel. Not a problem, but thought I would at least mention it.).:good:

I'm glad it's working for you I'm working on a complete UI overhaul and that global push to talk was more or less a proof of concept for being able to talk outside of the app. Android has limitations for hardware key interception that won't allow push to talk while the app is in the background, so hopefully people will enjoy this new button. It will eventually be a bar with other options that can be hidden. Thanks so much for testing, I'm glad the ICS/JB fix is working.

4.3 Dial pad autocomplete!

Hey everyone, if you've updated to 4.3 go into the Phone app, settings. You can now enable dial pad auto-complete.
It will auto-complete both phone numbers and names (T9-style). So if you want to call Anna and you enter 2662, Anna's number will appear as an auto-complete option.
Nifty!

Nice to see more cyanogenmod features coming to aosp.

Haha yes. It's a very nice unobtrusive implementation.
I think there may have been patent issues preventing them before, but they found a way around.

CM is awesome. Everybody knows that.

Honestly, on this one, it's about time. This is a simple feature I've been missing, and the only conclusion I could come to is that someone held a patent for it and that's why it wasn't here. It's in Windows Mobile (earliest version I ever used), and most other platforms, including feature phones. This one excites me, but it's still about time.
(That said, I'm thankful to no longer use a 3rd party dialer to accomplish this).

nice function. Just one question:
The auto-complete only shows three best matching names. What if you have more than three Annas (following your example)? Can't find any way to select other than first three contacts showing (as you can do in any custom ROM)...
Thank you.

You don't need more than three friends with the same name!

I appreciate having this in the stock dialer, since every dialer replacement I've ever tried had serious lag to it. If this was the first appearance of such a feature on any OS I would say it was GREAT, but this feature has existed elsewhere for YEARS, and the other implementations I've seen make this look amateurish at best. Come on Google! Really? A list of up to 3 people, and no way to select which number to use for the selected contact?

Very nice to finally see it here. One of the things I've been missing. And I love the implementation of it. I'm very glad Google took the time to actually refine Android and polish it instead of rushing out with a bunch of crazy features and introducing more bugs on top of the ones that were already there for some people.

Long-press on the contact and you can do just that (and set a number as default!)
I actually don't mind only having 3 choices - look up last names or first and last initial and this should never really be a problem. I really like the animations when the choices fly around and wish the keyboard would do that with suggestions as you typed. Some consistency across the OS is nice

What if i got 5 friends named ANNA with no middle/last names and i only distinguish them thru their contact photos? The phone's features should be designed according to how people want to use them, not forcing people to use them the way the developers want them to (apple-ish). Nonetheless, still a good feature and yeah, nice animations too :good:
