vibrate on touch

is there an app or hack that makes the phone vibrate on touch? i want some sort of indication that i have tapped the phone and i dont like the audible selection noise.
edit: im not really sure why i posted it in this section. i thought i was in the Q&A section but clearly not lol. if it needs to be in can be moved.

second that!

Yeah! that would be SOOOOO COOL!

Pretty sure this doesn't belong in the theme forum but there is an option for the android keyboard to cause the phone to vibrate on key press.
Menu>Settings>Locale&Text>Android Keyboard>Vibrate on Keypress
Although I only think this works for using the virtual keyboard doing text entry...

no it doesnt belong in this thread i posted it her by accident which is why i requested it to be moved if needed, nd yes that only works for the virtual keyboard.

Ive been looking forever for this too. I know its called "haptic" notifications. The sprint instinct utilizes this feature. I will follow this thread wherever it ends up!

it works, but it´s only for when you long press a phone button.

ah i see...well if the virtual keyboard can vibrate shouldnt every 'tap' be able to cause a vibration

If you want your phone to vibrate on touch, go to settings> accessibility> and select kickback

Proximity sensor?

Searching on the proximity sensor I found these two parameters for the startup.txt:
board-htcrhodium-proximity.on=1 to enable the proximity device (default off)
board-htcrhodium-proximity.wake=1 to wake up the phone on proximity
http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Kernel_boot_command-line_parameters
But I can't get them to work.
Are they really available on FRX07 or NeoFroyo?
Thanks

The prox sensor is not enabled on the hardware level (kernel). Perhaps they will be available soon tho, I think ACL was working on them.

I think that if it's enabled kernel-side(I don't think so) you need to edit keymaps in rootfs to use it
But if it's not used kernel-side then you have to mess with the source

There's some hacking at the rootfs you'd have to do. F22's rootfs allowed you to remap the key to a few different things, but unfortunately he never made a merge request for his code... which wouldn't have been easy, he would've had to change the way he did certain things. His rootfs hasn't been updated in quite some time, so I would not recommend using it. I'm sure you can take his keymap stuff tho and put it into an updated rootfs - with a little bit of manual labor you'll be able to remap the PTT key to a few different things.
See F22's rootfs thread for more info on that.

i should have something to test for the prox sensor this week. Just finished the patch .. To be honest i have no idea when it's actually used or if our userland is ready for it.

I'll be happy to test it

kernel done but turns out we need some userland patches.

Wow you're really Johnny on the spot

i dunno if thats good or bad

I thought it was good, but sometimes when I try to make a reference it goes horribly awry.

Looks like this will be saved for gingerbread. Since userland changes need to be made, its not worth it to make em for froyo.
So next release of GB will have it

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.

Disable Touch Key Backlight on Google Edition

I hope someone can help me out with this (I guess most of my posts arent worth bothering with as they usually go untouched by anyone). I'm trying to figure out a way to disable the touch button backlight on a Google Edition ROM. I have been searching for an answer since the Google Edition hit. All I can ever find is how to disable on GSIII ROMs (non ge). If anyone can please help me out I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

Screen Filter is an app that can disable the backlight of the softkeys. Set it to auto-start at boot and you should be good. I know its not a direct fix but its a low impact app that shouldnt effect battery life or operation.

Seems to work for me. Did it dim the screen at all (thats its main function)? Did you see the check box "enable softkey back light" (uncheck it) at the bottom of the app ui?

Yes, it did dim the screen, but if i uncheck the enable softkey back light, anytime I touch the screen the backlights still come on. Are you on a G.E. rom? I am currently on Infamouse G.E.

No im not. I am on AOSP (Slim Bean) though.

There are options to do this in AOKP and CM roms. Anybody know how those builds pull it off?

Give me a minute to shower and I'll write you an app. All you have to do is install my app, reboot, grant it root access, and profit.

Okay i am having troubles setting it to off on boot. But here is a "toggle" version of it where you can toggle them on or off. Will try and fix the boot issue tomorrow.

[Q] Auto rotation and motion sensors not working

This is my first post, please tell me if there is anything wrong with the structure.
I have tried everything, installed every single rom on xda, but i can't make the rotation and motion sensors to work. They used to work, until i flashed the leaked 4.3 stock from samsung... after about a week they stopped working. Out of the blue really, the phone has no dents or bumps.. any solution?

Get GPS STATUS app from play store, open it up and hit the menu button, then click on TOOLS, this will let you calibrate the sensors.
Hope this will solve it, please let me know :victory:

Well you can't go on landscape mode.. calibration does nothing. Can't use apps that depend on gyroscope.
The motion features won't work at all, non of them. Quick glance etc.
