My Wife has the SGS2 and she just upgraded from a Moto CliqXT. The feature that she misses is the blinking LED. Is there some sort of app that can be used to make one of the leds on the bottom keys to flash when she gets a notification? Hers is not rooted btw. I did a search but only with Tapatalk and the search engine with that is pretty vague.
Thanks in advance.

look for NoLED in Android Market
it's a homebrew App by local XDA devs
Thanks...but that's going to be a battery hog. I'm looking more into the led behind the hardware keys...making one of them blink when receiving a notificaton..

Wouldn't it drain her battery fast? The backlight would remain on for the duration of the notification, its not like the SGSII where it only illuminates the needed pixels.

You need a kernel that has BLN support.

there's no back light in OLED displays
that's the beauty of it, and reason why that App was coded
so, no you are not really wasting that much battery as you think with other devices when the scree is ON
because OLED screens only turn on the pixel necessary, the rest remains Off
so if you enabled NoLED for alerts on email or missed calls
you will only be lining up X amount of pixels, the smaller the picture the less battery it uses, as it needs to light up less pixels
--- Edit ---
That's why the DARK or BLACK themes for Galaxy S devices are so popular
every one that knows this is trying to light up the least pixel possible to make the battery last longer
it does makes a huge difference
Flash a kernel that supports BLN (most kernels that aren't stock support it, check the dev forum) and then download the BLN control app from the market. This will enable your touchkey lights to be used for notifications. The app allows you to configure things like blinking, duration, etc. Probably the most essential app I have on this phone

Well currently that's only option unfortunatly but the idea here is to implement that same function on the lockscreen using the ring that already has the camera and unlock icon.
You can toggle between silent and normal from the lock screen. When on lock screen, long press the power button and it'll pop up a menu which will allow you to do that. Not sure if you have seen that already. Otherwise, widget locker has some good reviews too.

Well that's pretty much been an option in every Android phone so far and I see that more as a hardcode workaround rather than a proper toggle since you can access that from pretty much anywhere. I have also used widget locker with the ICS layout and yes, the ringer toggle there is pretty much exactly what we need but I really don't like the idea of loading another app just to do that one small difference since the stock lockscreen will be running in the background taking up memory.
FYI, for anyone wondering. We're looking for something like this but as a standalone mod that could be flashed onto any 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 ROM:

two question (...and sorry if were already posted somewhere)
1.) how to get my GN vibrate automatically when in pocket through accelerometer or proximity?
2.) is there any possibility turning off any data exchange according pre-setting over night (for example turn off 10PM on 8AM)?
Thanks and ciao

Hello guys
I have just found an application from market, so called Droid inPocket (free). Works fine in regards to automatic vibration when in pocket or face down. Phone in second recognize how/where PDA is, then short 3 vibrates signalizes that activated. Once you take it out from pocket, or flip-over phone by short vibrate gets back to normal ring.
Check it out
Cheers, Majjjjo
I simply can't get this thing to work consistently..
It will only work if i open the Light flow app and go to notifications, then I can press home button and go back to my home screen but as long as the light flow app is still in the 'multi task' it will work, once I'll swipe it from there it stops working.
Also - when I check for 'Light flow' in the 'running services' under 'apps', it is still there, even after I've swiped it from the multi task , saying '1 process and 1 service', but it will not work unless I open the app itself and go into notifications...
Info -
It only started after the JB update..
I am not running any task managers etc..
I am rooted, stock 4.1.1 JB
I tested it with Gmail, charging etc..
This really sucks.. Am I the only one??....
Since the update that was meant to fix Jelly Bean issues, I've had no issues. Its working well for me.

Hello peeps.. so I decided to share a nice trick that has been working amazingly well for me. If you want to add things like flash light.. mobile data...brightness control to your notification area head on over to the play store and get Notification Toggle. Let's you customize whichever toggles you'd like. Also let's you download and change the icons to each toggle.. really fresh and I have been rocking it for a while with no issues. For those who don't know about this app.. knock yourself out!!

Okay i noticed a small problem. You know for using notification toggle you need to enable it under accessibility settings. Some how this is partly turning on the talk back accessibility service. When you pinch to collapse home screens or apps in drawer, it starts talking. Anyone else having this problem?

Turn talk back off. its right above the notification toggle on/off switch. You might have turned it on accidently.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Talk back is turned off, that's the first thing i checked. The talk back happens only when pinching home screen and app drawer. If talk back is on it talks for every screen touch any where, which is not happening.
Sent from my SGH-T999
I have the same problem. Turn off toggle notification in the accessibility section. It will still work just won't stay on top in the ongoing notification section. But all other notifications won't. Not a big deal to me...talk back was really irritating.

Herro.
I made for you today, a nice nifty wittle app to better control your buttons lights. Simply set an ambient light value that you wish to have the lights come on. When you turn on your screen, the app will read the ambient light levels and compare it to what you have entered.
If the value that you entered is lower than the value being read, it will turn off the lights for you are in a bright enough area where they arent needed.
Once you go into a place that has a darker area where the light levels are lower than your entered level. They will come on for you and stay on until you turn off the screen.
Required:
1. YOU MUST HAVE ROOT
2. A beautiful Galaxy S 3 <3 (May work on other devices if the kernel supports is)
3. A finger which likes to click the like button. (not really)
Simply download attached apk to your phone and use any file manager to install it. Enjoy.

I know I had a couple as well.I think I need to bind the service to the activity to keep androids from destroying it.(That's what I believe is the issue) but you just have to restart it if it force closes.
It's definitely something with the screen monitoring service.I made one that just monitors screen of and on broadcasts and that one still force closes on me and there is nothing obvious in the logcat.

About the force closes, I've only had them happen right after waking my device. (And then it would crash again because android is trying to start it again) but I noticed it robot crashed on screen wake

On my device it FC's but it keeps working. It's odd but working fine besides that. It takes about a minute for it to take effect after I first draft the app.

Yeah the app doesn't control the brightness of the button lights, it just shuts them off when you are in an area that is brighter then your entered value and turns them on again when you go to a dark area. No need to be sorry man!

I have an AT&T Galaxy S3, the I747, which is currently running the 5/10 build of PAC-Man, the 5/9 build of the KT747 kernel, and task650's 5/8 gapps. I dropped it about a month and a half ago, shattered the screen, and had to replace it. A quirk to this is that I had to replace it with a screen from a Sprint Galaxy S3, the L710. After I replaced the screen, on Friday, I flashed to the stuff I'm running right now. Yesterday (Sunday), I noticed that the sensor directly to the right of the front-facing speaker is lit up with a very faint red color at all times while my phone is on. I have done a little searching, and from what I can find, everyone is attributing this to Viber, which I don't use.
It's this one:

My proximity sensor and light sensor are working fine still, but my main concerns are battery life and longevity. Is this light being on going to either hurt my sensor in the long run or create unnecessary drain on my battery, and if either is the case, what do I do about it?
I noticed mine was on one day while i was in bed, just rebooted and haven't had it since. I don't see why it would need to read data from the proximity sensor unless your on a call or so it shouldn't drain battery . if your in the SMS app then it might be using it for direct dial but I'm not sure if you have that feature in pacman

Try a program called greenify. It will tell you which programs are causing wake locks and what is using the most battery.
Hi, I used to have Viber installed, until I noticed that dot I didn't relate it. It made me panic so I went through my apps 1 by 1 and found viber to be the one keeping it always on even when its not running. If you don't have Viber, go to your installed apps page, go to downloaded tab and force close each one. If the red dot is persistent then its another app. Keep going until its gone and you'll find the culprit.
Have a good day.
