[Q] Trackpad Pulse Frequency

Just wondering, but is there any way to increase the pulsing speed of the trackpad LED?
A lot of people have suggested LedMe Know but it doesn't have support for Google Voice (which I use for sms) and it flashes the trackpad, rather than pulses.
I've also tried Light Flow and although it pulses the trackpad and supports Voice, it doesn't change the speed of the pulse
Any suggestions?

Have you tried playing with the custom timing settings in Led me know?
If gvoice isn't supported, then perhaps it wont work....sry if it doesn't.

Well, like I said up top, it only flashes the led, instead of the pulses, regardless of any speed settings.
Plus no Google Voice in LedMe Know. Light Flow does support it (so its definately possible ), but it does not alter the pulse frequency so it doesn't add anything that stock didn't already do.

Maybe you could contact the app developers and get them to add the feature(s)?
Some can be surprisingly responsive.

Good suggestion...but not quite the solution I'm looking for since LedMe flashes rather than pulses and I'd prefer if I didn't have to keep an app in memory just to change the frequency of a stock feature :/
Maybe there's a way to modify the lights.vision.so or something?
EDIT: I doubt the developer would try his hand at pulsing rather than flashing since it seems I'm just a minority who prefers the trackpad led rather than the speaker led. Also this seems like a device specific feature and the dev says in the app description: "only available at the moment for htc desire 2.2" so I doubt he has a DZ to test on... I found
EDIT2: I found exactly what I was looking for (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5609688&postcount=25) but sadly its only for Nexus One. I'm messaging the developer to see if maybe he'd port it over...

Yeah I dont know much about editing those files, but some app devs are helpful. It might actually just be a quick edit for them to gain compatibility with GVoice.
I only use LED me know to flash my trackpad light really fast, upon arrival of sms' through tmobile carrier/handcent tho.
I hope you figure something out. I would like like it to pulse fast rather then just blink.

Switch to an MIUI rom. It has the feature built in.

I appreciate pulsing the trackpad LED as well. However it's too slow a pulse at default speed, to be able to quickly peek at your phone and be able to tell if you have a message or not.
xREVOx: What exactly is this feature called? I want to look around and see if it will be included in the net CyanogenMod version.

I'm not using the MIUI rom right now, but it was called either Pulse Frequency or Pulse Delay. Default is 9 seconds. You can change it to as little as a 1 second delay.

I might have to flash it just to check it out and see how it works.
Currently I have LED me know flash my trackpad at 100 milisec. on and 100 milisec. off. Flashes fast and I notice it right away when checking for messages.
I just rather have the pulsing close to that speed.

Well I guess its nice to know that there's an actual solution... I wonder how hard it is to extract from miui rom?
I was looking around for the source of miui, but apparently its not released by their dev team...?

You could try just flashing the exact file that controls it to your phone, from the MIUI rom... not sure exactly what it is though.

I believe its in Settings? I saw a video of MIUI running on a G2 and Trackpad Settings was in the Settings menu...not sure if it contains the pulse frequency but meh. If it is, I don't think it'll be too smart to flash it but idk.

[APP] [REQUEST] Notifications

Hi all,
This is my first post on xda so please move it to the right section if this isn't it.
As the sgs2 doesn't have a notification led I was wondering if there is a possibility to have the soft keys flash upon receiving a text or an email and so on.
Reason I thought id suggest it because my other phone the lg o2x has the same issue with regards to the led and there is an app for that.
I am willing to buy it from the market to support the developer of course.

What you are looking for is called Backlight Notfication or BLN and as far as i know the kernel for the phone needs to support this. Since the SGS2 is fairly new there isn't a kernel with working BLN yet but most of the kernel hackers are looking into this feature. I'm sure it's coming, it just needs some time.
Hope this answers your question even if it doesn't help you with your problem.

Thanks for the quick answer. I just thought id put it out there.
It's not really an issue since most ppl prob check their phone regularly but I think it would be a nice addition to have it think.... Especially at night when you don't really want to turn your phone on every few mins to check for a notification

I miss this as well.
It seems to be rly complicated to implement, as some ppl are working on it for quite some month (!) now and still there's no BLN available… I hope that some day we'll have it nevertheless…

Well, if you consider that these people do it all in their free time then "month" suddenly isn't that much. Also this is probably not a top priority in the first kernel releases. These will concentrate on speed and stability, before new features are added.
Patience is a virtue, especially if you don't have to pay for the finished product

[Q] backlight notification for SGW W/O flashing

Hi folks
I'm looking for an backlight notification app for our SGW.
There is BLN Control which needs an BLN-kernel/mod but I don't want to flash (right now). There also is NoLED which drains somehow battery because initially it is for amoled devices which do not need backlid screen when displaying icons like LCD does. Is there something like "LG Touch Notifications"? I found this for my wifes optimus black and it is awesome. It gives all I need. You can set the frequency and fade for the touch key LED. Set how long and when to blink (you can define sleeping hours ). It also sets repeating sound and vibration.
Do you know something similar or is it possible to port the LG thing to SGW?
Thanks in advance
holydiver

This is a great thing! Now if some one could actually port it for our device...

BLN
Hi,
I found that it works with some Samsung devices: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823922
The corresponding file is in /system/hw/ on my device (original rom) it's called lights.msm7k.so
I don't know how to programm, but it should be possible to get the code from the Samsung i9000 and port it to our file.

Hi
So it should work. But this ist for original BLN. Maybe someone could integrate it to our SGW w/o kernel flash.

This almost works...

What do you mean by "almost works"?

Well you seem to have to disable native alerts for sms, which is no good really,

@phonesgw
Do you think it works without special kernel? As the link you are referring is talking of BLN-Kernel
@tmcthree
Did this tool work for you? This means you use the flash light for notification? But therefore you have to place the phone upside down on the table to see it flashing.
I've got no idea of programming android. What is the difficulty of controlling the LED of the smartbuttons? Why do I need special kernel?
holydiver

I Am allso searching for a application that lets the Home-Key blink when there is a missed call.. SMS or Email. (My girlfriend has the SGW)
Regarding the LG app.. i used it to... but after 2.3.4 ... the app said it needs Root access to work.
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA

We are still running our LG Optimus Black on 2.2.2. As I read of several disadvantages of updating to 2.3.4 I decided not to do that (until now ;-) ). Are you sure you need root? Why that?
I wrote Martin Börjesson, the developer of LG LED Touch Notification. His app is open source and he is willing to help with porting it to other devices. So what we need is someone who knows what to do.
holydiver

So far no one interested in notification by soft key?
Anyone who can shortly explain what to do and how to learn?
holydiver

so far now people interest with this ?????
any developer willing to help...............?????

[Q] Kernel Question/Idea/misc

I am running Calkulins E4GT ROM for my EL29 and I was seeing if theres any KERNEL out there that supports "BLN" Back Light Notification?? If so, can someone direct me to where?

I doubt many people here even know what it is, since this gs2 model has its own dedicated notification led.
I think it would make sense to ask for a higher frequency of blinking of that light, instead of BLN.

I understand some people may not know what it is but I can't ask in the development forums until I make 10 dumb post. Then I might get some more better and consistent replies but I just thought I'd give it a shot here..
But I can't seem to find a kernel supporting bln or a full real notification to change led's.
Hmmm..

[Q] Looking For A ROM With Specific Feature

First off, thank you to everyone for all the great information to be found on XDA.
Secondly, please take pitty on me as I'm pretty new to Android (my first was when I bought the GN the day it came out on Verizon).
I have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon. I've been using Codename Android for a while now which is no longer in development. I just found out about the whole CNA / Ultimate Droid thing and now I would really like to get off of CNA. Partly because of the lack of development and partly because of the CNA/UD issues. My problem is, I have a specific requirement and a "I really, really want" feature.
The Specific Requirement:
I need a ROM that has the Ringtone and Notification volumes split.
The "I Really, Really Want":
I would like to have sound profiling like what is in CNA. I'm practically on call 24/7 so I must be able to have my phone ring at night. I get a lot of e-mails, etc so I need to be able to stop all notifications besides ringtones.
I've been looking around but each ROM forum I look at, I don't see either of these features listed.
If anyone can point me to a ROM that has these or inform me of a way of finding this information without having to flash each and every ROM, I would greatly appreciate it.

I just checked, and the CM10 ROM I'm on has the checkbox to link/unlink ringtone and notification volumes.
Seems like a common feature.

I've been working with the dev on a really cool update. It works perfectly for what your liking for!!!! Try it. It can be added on any Rom. Don't even need to be rooted.
