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.

Modifying auto brightness on Tmobile sgs2

Can someone assist me with some instructions on how I can pull the necessary file to modify mentioned settings, then push it back. I've found other threads on this but nothing specifically for our device.

1) I've already posted in Q&A a couple days ago and no response
2) I googled it before I posted the question in Q&A and in here, and nothing was specific to the Tmobile sgs2. Since it's a modding question I thought development would be an appropriate place, but if i've stepped out of line, then excuse my ignorance.
I'm just sayin!

Wish I knew lol...oh how I miss the features of CyanogenMod.

Although I wouldn't recommend copying over his framework-res.apk. I would do it from scratch using apk manager or something.
Not to mention the kernel has to support lower brightness values.

Thanks for the input. Basically I'd like to slightly raise the brightness under the lowest lighting conditions. Reason being, is to help mask the blobs while watching Netflix, YouTube, and other videos with a low lit environment.
I'm just sayin!

On a Samsung T-Wizz ROM, this may be quite difficult to find. You can Tasker to do what you requested though.
Create a new profile that is activated whenever you launch one of the apps in question.
Have the profile turn off auto brightness and set the screen brightness to x.
Set the end-profile condition to when the apps is closed and the end profile action to set auto-brightness back on.

There is a root application that does this, Lux or something like that, I can't think of it off the top ofmy head right now.

Thanks, I'll first try to modify the framework-res.apk to see if I can get some results from that. If not, then this definitely sounds like a good workaround!

[App] Wave Control - Control your phone without even touching it

Wave Control uses the proximity sensor to detect hand gestures to control music playback (free version) and more (paid version).
Update (10/11/2012): Half of proceeds from app sales from October will be donated to Breast Cancer Research
More Info Here
Update (9/7/2012): New Tasker Support for changing profiles in Wave Control!
Update (31/08/2012): Jelly Bean users are getting force closes in the Play Store app when navigating to Wave Control -- The free version's apk is available to download on this post. Please if it's working for you in Play Store download from there.. I need the install count
I developed this on the Note and luckily it happens to have one of the best proximity sensors (at least for my uses). Works best on the Note and Galaxy Nexus. Not so great on HTC phones and SGSII due to their particular sensors (much slower).
There are 4 basic gestures:
-Hover
-1 Wave
-2 Waves
-3 Waves
By default they correspond to Play/Pause, Next, Previous, Enable/Disable Controls respectively.
In the Pro version, they can be remapped to any of those plus: Turn Screen On, Volume Up, Volume Down, Launch Google Voice Search, Alt Play/Pause (for MX Video Player), and do nothing.
Popular uses are:
When driving, don't have to take your eyes off the road to try to hit a button
When your hands are dirty so you don't smear crap all over your phone like when cooking or working on car
While on the computer, you don't have to bother waking the phone to change the song (works even when the screen is off)
I'd like to see what you guys think of it. If you have any suggestions for new features or any feedback, I'd love to hear it.
Google Play Store Links:
Free Version
Paid Pro Version
Here are a couple youtube video demos:
and more of the Pro features:
I've got an identical post in the Galaxy Note forum. I'm limiting the call for feedback to these two devices for now since they have the most responsive sensor.

Holy crap, this is awesome.

Looks good, so far. I already paid for it, in support of where I think it might go. It would be interesting to see the ability to launch other apps besides Voice Search, chosen by the user, rather than hard coded. This would open up lots of possibilities.

I think this would not work in the night or in dark rooms?!
Otherwise this is really cool!

Yeah been rolling this idea around for some time. I've been kind of lazy about implementing it. I think I'll start coding it up to include in the next update unless a bug pops up first.
Thanks for the support!

If I used just the light sensor then, yeah it would have that limitation. The proximity sensor (on the same chip) uses an IR LED to light up the near object and the light sensor to detect the IR reflection.

Hows the battery usage of the app? I am presuming that app is always running in the background polling for some action in the proximity sensor.

For me, it's been a little under what the music player uses. The system broadcasts on state changes of the sensor so I don't have to poll. Which is quite nice.

This is phenomenal. I like the potential!

I'm a little concerned about the battery life implications of this app. OP mentions that the app works even when the screen is off. Does this mean that a constant wakelock is maintained at all times which prevents the device from going into deep sleep?

Yeah, it holds a Partial Wakelock.
If someone knows how to still receive state changes from the proximity sensor without a Partial Wakelock, please let me know!
I'm always looking for ways to make the app for energy efficient. Working with the screen off saves a lot of battery since the screen is usually the biggest consumer of power.
If you want to know for sure how much battery it uses, just try it out. If it uses more battery than you feel is acceptable for the functionality, stop using it. It's not something to leave running in the background indefinitely.

I would love a sensitivity toggle. For me, the response time seems slow.

it doesn't have to be that way. Why not give the user an option to disable the wake lock so that the app works only when the screen is on?
Also, can you explain the Pocket mode and the "Headphones unplug exit" options? I read the description about Pocket mode but I'm not sure I understand: Is a false positive 3 wave gesture so common that there needs to be workaround for it? Furthurmore, when does the app need to be in front? If the screen is on but the app is in background, chances are the user is actually using the phone.

Yeah perhaps that could be a replacement for the pocketmode.. just disable the wakelock.
Pocket Mode was a user request. I guess the person had fairly baggy pants such that the controls were getting reenabled and music started playing while they were walking. So all it does is prevent that from happening. It's raised more support questions than it addressed so it does need to change.
The headphones unplug exit is an auto exit of the app when you unplug your headphones. It used to just be the way the app behaved but I had a request to be able to disable it.
Having to have the app in front is more of a carryover from before I had the notification icon change with enable/disable. It was just to make the user see the status change. I had kinda forgotten about it.
All good points! Thanks for the feedback.
I think I'll change Pocket Mode to something like Only Work With Screen On and then just toggle the wakelock. More straight forward.
Thanks again!

Yeah the current implementation only prevents a re-enable. So, until you disable it, it'll still work. I'll be changing that soon to avoid confusion.

So this fun... it still works without the wake lock. Now I'm thinking back to why I put it there in the first place.
I think I had read that on some phones it's required to still receive sensor data, but not all. So I guess my Note doesn't require it. I get down into deep sleep without the wakelock (as long as music isn't playing) and am still able to start music back up. Sweet.
Now how to word the option to not confuse non devs....

It will be great to have real Pocket Mode - if Hover lasts more that 1 sec (or other time, better make it adjustable in settings) turn on real Pocket Mode - disable controls

Yeah that might a good way to activate it.. hmm.
I ended up just settling on Wake Lock.. see how many questions I get about it.
I just posted V1.50:
-Wake Lock as an option, default is off
-Pocket Mode now disables everything when the screen is off
-Tweaked the timing for the SGSII
-Fixed a bug for the play/pause on MX Video (forgot to put this in the app's changelog)
-Pro gets Screen Off command
Thanks for great feedback guys! It's helping me quite a bit.
Still to come:
For Pro: Launch any installed app
Adjustable timing for the gesture window

Ingenious.

[Q] Vibrate on Galaxy Tab 3 - 7.0?

Hi. Just a quick question... is the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (SM-T210) supposed to have Vibration functionality?
In games and apps that have vibration feedback, it doesn't do it. Nor can I find any option relating to Vibration in the Settings. I'm wondering if this is a warranty issue or a cost-saving "feature."
Edit: If it is supposed to have Vibrate features, can you advise me on where I should be able to access Settings for it?
Edit 2: I meant to put this in Q&A, but can't seem to delete. Could a moderator please move this threat over? (sorry)
Thanks in advance!

I don't mean to be rude, but BUMP.
250 views, two weeks, and not a single person can provide a simple yes or no???

I start sharing T211 kernel in development section (and no feedback from T211 owner around here so far). There's a vibrator driver in T211 but no in T210.

Custom S Pen Sounds

Hi Xdaers,
I'm sure that most of you know about 'Note Buddy' and 'S Pen Toolbox' allowing you to customise the 'attach/detach' sounds of the 'S Pen', along with some other features.
I'm hoping that someone can point me to an app or method that will allow me to customise the sound emitted when you move the device too far away from the 'S Pen'.
I was able to do this on my 'Note 8', now I've forgotten how, but was definitely not through 'Root'.
Any help would be much appreciated, this is the last step in the customisation of my 'Note 10 plus 5G' and its driving me crazy.

Peace...
I think those aspects (sounds of s-pen) no longer work. I mean Note Buddy no longer works for me --itll work for like 2 minutes then revert back to stock sound. So I dont know at this point if those other sounds can be changed

'S Pen Toolbox' sounds modding feature
definitely works on my 'Exynos', I don't use it's other features so can't attest to those. The only thing is that it doesn't include changing the proximity alarm sound.

It's not about the function, it's about the sound, and you'd know this if you'd read the thread from the start.
For instance with 'S Pen toolbox' I'm able to change the S Pen detach sound to that of a 'light sabre' and the attach sound to that of a door being locked. With 'S Pen keeper' the proximity alarm sound has been changed to that of a klaxon.
Small things, but they make the device uniquely mine.

I just installed it and change the sound, but it doesn't play it when I use the S Pen

Have you given it 'Administrator' permission?, there's a toggle in the app for it.
Also, make sure that notification volume is turned on.
Ensure that no 'Accessibility Services' are enabled that may interfere with notification sounds, then restart the device.

I guess 1 out of 2 isn't too bad, considering that no updates in years, but for me, S Pen Keeper also works for the proximity functionality.

Have a look to Pentastic original Samsung App for Spen ?

Pentastic is fantastic.
These are the customisations that should have shipped with the S pen from the get go.
No need for 3rd party apps now, except for the 'proximity alarm' customisation, so Samsung if you're listening, please add this in the next 'Pentastic' update.

No go with Pie... screw Q
