LED Notification Service Patch

Greetings,
I've been trying out a variety of different ROMs, and due to issues with some of my purchased apps not appearing in the Market, I've had to switch back to the default HTC Froyo ROM (rooted of course) as it seems alot of developers aren't letting their apps show up through unsigned ROMs.
Anyways, it would seem that HTC has some setting dealing with the LED notifications that stop after a certain amount of time.... Because of this I end up assuming I don't have any missed calls, texts etc and it drives me crazy. I'm aware that there are some programs on the market that will address this issue, however, having to resort to having a program run all the time due to a dumb setting doesn't seem optimal.
I've come across various mods out that that let you override things like the icons that appear up top, battery percent indicators... Is there something equivalent that I can flash over the existing ROM to fix the LED service settings?
Thanks in advance,
- Mitalis

a little off topic but can you name specific apps you are having problems with? i have not yet found any apps that don't show up on most roms. Also as an alternative to being stock you could always use app brain with the fast install and it should let you download them through it.
as far as the LED notification thing. I personally havent seen one but one could exist.
You might get more helpful answers in the Q&A forum as this one is strictly used for development topics and often results in flames and more posts that are not useful,

The mod I was using which preventing me from seeing all my purchased applications was Ava-Froyo v3.
Here were 4 applications I wasn't able to access:
Astro File Manager Pro
Android Banking
Raging Thunder 2
ZENONIA

[Q] HTCsense.com within CM7?

I know people have been pretty unhappy with the service but HTCsense.com has worked fine for me since I booted up my phone back in October 2010.
I've been swapping between Sense and CM7 but always find myself ending up with the latter as it's just so much easier to use (currently on Nightly #32).
I think I know the answer to this but is there a way of linking up HTCsense.com within CM7 either by taking an APK out of the Sense system files or is it too deeply encoded within Sense for it to be extracted?
I've found all the other services (Lookout, WaveSecure, etc) to be fine on the first glimpse but there's always hidden charges or features that need money to be unlocked whereas HTCsense.com is a free service.
My main reasons for wanting HTCsense.com is the phone finder, the ability to make the phone ring (I know I can just call it) but also to remote wipe it.
Like I say I think the answer is no but thought it was worth checking.

I don't know about getting HTCsense.com tracking to work on CM, but you could try this app Prey Phone Tracker. I'm currently using it and it's great.

I'd love to have the HTC Hub working with CM7, just because all my messages & contacts are backed up in the HTC hub :-(

-----------------------------

I've been trying prey and I can see the benefits but it still doesn't have that great dashboard that htcsense.com has. Also being able to see and send texts from the same service is great.

My two pennies worth but Seek Droid (http://www.seekdroid.com) is very good: it's quicker (ie, more or less instant) at locking or wiping a phone - when testing with HTC's version, I'd send the request and nothing would happen for (sometimes) hours :S
It doesn't backup SMS for you or show you your phone book: however, since your phonebook is synced with Google, you can see the contacts via http://mail.google.com in any case. It does allow you to locate, lock, wipe or ring your phone remotely which is all you really need from remote software like this...

thanks, but i have flashed the cm7, after that my nandroid backups didn't work and all my contacts & messages are just saved on htcsense.com
i just need to find a way to get them on my phone once...

...

I think the ultimate goal here is to use CM7 but attain that singular piece of Sense code that syncs with htcsense.com and merge that with CM.
It would be great to setup CM7, go into accounts and settings and see the option for HTC within the usual crowd.
I get that there's alternatives such as Prey and backup software such as MyBackUp Pro, which do a great job, and you can also use a stock ROM with the Sense interface swapped out but oh to have those 3 letters appear within CM accounts would be fantastic.

Nope lol. I've been google stalking it but can't find it anywhere.

I signed up.. Still waiting. I'm sure once they start sending out links for this it will be on here.

I also was able to sign up before it was closed. No word yet. Hope they're not c*ck blocking on us custom rom users.

I also missed the signups, but I hope I can get my hands on the beta version because the one they have in the market is killing me!

Any update

It's been released...

did u actually get a private beta version sent to you? 1.6 is available in the android market and its practically unchanged

Just the one that's on the Market, I guess 1.6 isn't the beta we are looking for.

Has anyone installed the update? Many comments in Market about problems since updating to this version...

Guess not! I have the update installed, no problems but there's nothing new.

Still loads of bugs,
Cant get into friends with a force close.
Messages broken, they don't sync properly.
Also to rub salt into the wound, the have FULL access to your text messages with no legitimate reason. Poor effort. Might have to find the 1.5.4 apk.

I'll keep my 1.5.1 Works good even with friends. Anything after was a nightmare.

Im using Cyanogen V7.1-RC1 and seems like LauncherPro doesnt sync my Facebook events to LauncherPro Calendar widget or normal Calendar like it used (Theres only option to sync contacts in settings) before.
Not sure if the problem occured with Nightly build 119 which I used before, but Im pretty sure it worked with that, and ofc. with Sense based roms.
Is the problem now with LauncherPro or with Cyanogen? Or maybe even with the Facebook app?

Argh!!! Its all changed!! Suddenly about 15 mins ago it seemed to completely reload and now looks "improved" For the record, I previously force closed and cleared cache / data so this is just weird.
Cons:
Friends still force closes though
Pros:
Filters on friend feed.. Yay, finally get rid of pages of stupid game updates.
Looks and feels smoother. (I'm on Wifi though)

If you are having problems I really suggest running a fix_permissions from RM or from terminal, it solves most of my problems for me. I updated a few days ago but it suddenly changed for me too. The new news feed is pretty nice and I love how I can like comments now. Pages seem to be so-so but better than nothing. Chat actually seems to be working!
I don't use launcherpro but if I'm not mistaken, it uses its own client completely separate from the official facebook app so the new update shouldn't be affecting anything.

Gallery Sync, Search Bar...How do I fix these little bugs after rooting...?

I'm enjoying my rooted Sprint GS3. Flashing has become so addictive that I find myself checking the several XDA threads hoping there is an update!!
Since I've flashed ParanoidAndroid, I have lost a couple features that I enjoyed...and wondered if others have experienced these, and if there are ways to fix them.
- Gallery no longer syncs with Picasa. It only shows my camera pics and screenshots.
- The permanent search bar now only shows a search magnifying glass. It use to say Google.
- In the launcher, the shortcut to the play store appears to be the old style (bag with an android head on it, instead of the play button)
Thanks for whatever!
GO JELLYBEAN!!

i don't think so i think its the rom...

Not sure why u got the old style market would love to know what gapps ur using. That being said I'm sure a third party app is out there for syncing picassa. Can't help u as I have never used my camera and gallery. And picassa sync only worked in the tw gallery. As for the search bar and market my attachment should do. Just flash in recovery. http://db.tt/MgwriNtp

Thanks for the tips.

You should look at the change logs for the ROM you're running. I'm running StrongSteve's Odexed Blue 4.7 (which, by the way, is awesome - gotta like blue though...) and have the old-school market icon (labeled Market too) as well, but you can see in his change logs from a previous version that was something he intentionally did. Everything you described, except the Picasa sync issue, could just be the way the dev themed their ROM.
I don't know what to tell you regarding your sync problem...

As far as I know Picasa sync is broken in CM right now and PA is based of CM.

Maximizing the experience

Hey guys,
Ultra Noob here cutting my teeth in the forums. I'm trying to build the best phone I can since I will probably be using it.....foooooorrrrrrreeeeeevvvveeeerrrrr....... We switched to a new tmob plan that we dont get upgrades. Its way cheaper but...sad...
Anywho... I'm looking for way to really jazz this bad boy up. whats your guys favorite programs to maximize this thing and customize it as well?
I currently have it running the andromadus cm10 nightly from Flinny from here and I have downloader a few programs to unlock titanium pro, sms restore and back pro, Lucky patcher, use androzip, poweramp full, scoremobile...i dunno what else to put just looking to my more knowlageable counterparts.
Thanks!

I use LBE security, try to get an older version though. It allows you to configure security for all apps installed on your phone. You can block or allow certain permissions. Like for example, Tweetcaster & Soundhound frequently request your location, you can disable that, or not allow a certain app to read your call logs, or get your IMEI number, or contacts. Been using it for a while, I like the control it gives me.
I also recommend ROOT Toolbox Pro, it has a plethora of functions and extras for root users

Lbe security is awesome but I am a belt and suspenders kinda guy so I use droidwall as well just to be sure.
