Hi all , i'm a new windows phone user and i'd like to have an a call reminder app like bln on my samsung galaxy s.
This app it simply let the buttons to light up when you receive a new text, email, or missed call, which means you won’t need to unlock the screen to discover a notification.
If this is not possible maybe you can develop an app that will make the phone ring every tot minutes.
Unfortunately i'm not a devloper and i'm not enought skilled to help... give you an idea is the only thing that i can do !
I think this would be a top seller app !
Is it really that hard to look at your lockscreen? Every new notification is on it!
I know, that this kind of app is a must need at Android, but at WP every new notification is showing clearly at the lockscreen - you don't need to unlock it, just look at it...

i don't understand becouse u have to make polemics... if you are not interested simply don't answear to the post.
Anyway this is the only feature that i miss and well is not the same thing as u described , with this app you can simply watch the phone wherever it is and see if there is some miss notification instead to take the phone and push the button !
that kind of replies I believe it's useless. Anyway, I agree with you. In the dark it is very usefull and even in the daylight. What I thought about, since I have a optimus 7 witch doesn't have lights under phisical buttons, is that a corner of the screen could be highlighted, or even different corners, so that you don't have to lighten your screen every time, especialy when you are in a meeting or something.
it would be nice if we have sound call reminder

there is a similar app on android called no led, i tried it but it was a battery drain becouse even if you light only a screen corner all the screen is on!
yes, I can't believe a call reminder app is not available till now. How can one use the phone without it? even WM6.5 have it, how can a supposedly 'improved' WP system not have it? a sound reminder every few minutes will be fine, I won't be checking on the lock screen every few minutes just to see if I have any missed calls!!

Thank you for your attention and patience readers. I rooted my GSM Galaxy Nexus when i got it a few weeks ago. I of course use Rom Manager and I quickly discovered my liking for and preference of the Eagleblood mod. For the past few weeks I have been using the Eaglebloodmod version 4.0.3 BUILD 2.01 and I loved it. It seemed perfect. One of the features in it's main settings menu was pulse. It allowed me to set the color and duration and frequency of the pulse notification led light on the face of the phone at the bottom below the screen. I just updated to the Eaglebloodmod version 4.0.4 BUILD 2.04. Right away it seems faster and even better with more great settings options and etc. Overall I like it even more than the now much previous build version.
NOW HERE'S MY PROBLEM. Where is pulse in the settings? Hopefully I'm stupid and you guys will show me where I'm not looking or something, but anyways. It is no longer there as far as I can see. In fact, before I even noticed that pulse was missing I noticed that I no longer had to scroll down a little bit to see the "Battery" option. Before I had to because pulse was also in the line of things and it pushed battery a little farther down making me have to scroll down a little bit. So it's not like there's something there instead it's just not there. I'm curious why would a later build be missing something an earlier build possessed? PLEASE SOMEBODY TELL ME WHERE IS THE PULSE SETTING IN THE SETTINGS. and if it simply is no longer there, well jeez Eagleblood.....jeez. I know it may sound like such an unimportant little thing but i really liked and got really used to having my pulse light go off BLUE every 1 second for 1 second.
i'm on eagleblood build 2.1 now and still the pulse colors option in the settings is gone. it used to be there in the 4.0.3 version. i don't understand why such a nice feature is gone now
You don't need two of these threads. Install the app lightflow.
okay thanks, i'll try that
So I finally scratched the itch and installed Blu Kuban last night. Thanks to various people on XDA, the install went smoothly. No moments of panic or anything. I really like how fast it feels, and the levels of customization. Not to mention, Sprint really pissed me off with their handling of our device, so I like having some power now with my phone.
I do have a few questions/observations. I'm new to the board (as a poster), so I know I can't post in Dev, so I hope this is all right and proper.
1. I looked through the various ROM options last night, and I could swear I saw some mods for switching/removing some of the toggles on top of the notification window. There's a few I don't really need. But I'm having trouble finding the option that I thought I saw last night. I went through the various update categories numerous times, and I can't find them now. If this exists, can someone point me in the right direction?
2. Speaking of options, is there one for splitting the ring/notification volume? This was something that wasn't working for me on the Oneclick I previously used, and apparently it is an ICS thing. I don't know if there's a solution for this in the ROM.
3. Timeriffic is giving me a slight display issue, and I don't know if it's an app thing or a ROM thing. When I tap on a rule to bring up its settings, the buttons for each option is dark, and I can't see what it is. The clock on the top of that window also looks different than it did previously (I used an sfhub Oneclick of ICS). I really should look around their site and see if this is an app issue, but I'm minutes away from leaving work for the day.
4. I know there's a mod to change the second shortcut on the lockscreen, to launch the dialer or text, or something. Is there an option to add more?
I've had a few isolated problems with FC's. Namely, if I tap+hold on the data toggle in the notification window, I freeze and eventually System UI force closes and reboots, sans my battery icon. Just now I had a random FC on the ROM Updater when I went to look at the boot animation mods.
Regardless though, thank you RUJELUS22 for the time and effort put into this ROM. I look forward to using it more and learning a lot along the way.

Welcome to the rom it is pretty nice and to answer your questions
1: It's in "Labs".. Scroll towards the bottom of the rom updater options to see it
2: if I'm correct I think you mean the notification while on the phone.. That can be found in "general mods" in the rom updater.. It's called "in call sms notification'
3: I don't use traffic light so apologies to not knowing that answer
4: at the moment there is no option to add more.. May be something you could request though... (widget locker works good if you want more short cuts)
5: that is a known bug.. So you can long press all the other toggles but that one.. And yeah sometimes the rom update does hang but it's from usually using it with bad signal connection.. Best to use on WiFi... But when it does hang u should be able to back out of it or hold the home button get into task manage and close it

1. Settings, display, quick panel.
2. Settings, sound, volume
3.when you are able to post in dev, post the name of the apps you have dark text issues on and rujelus will take a look at patching it in the next release.
4. At this time, no. You could use go locker in the play store.
Also the long press data toggle fc is a known issue. Should be resolved shortly.
I think Miguel may have misunderstood some of your questions.

Yeah I thought you may have read too quickly. I had to look a few times myself to make sure. Usually your replies are spot on. Been known to do the same myself. NP
Thanks to both of you. Funny I spent all that time looking at the ROM Updater for the toggle settings, when it was in the stock settings.
The Timeriffic/sound issue I'm referring to is how ICS deals with the volume level for the ringer, vs. how it does the volume for notifications. My notifications have been coming out louder than my ringtones, and I'd like to level them. Especially since I get more texts than calls, and I don't want to mute my phone at work (hey, if no one else does, why should I!). As for the color issue there, I'll wait until I can post in that thread and I'll ask, but I'll also take some time to look around on Timeriffic's site. I had a similar issue with another program running one of the Oneclicks, so I wonder if it's an ICS issue, or the way some of those apps were compiled.

Well there are seperate volume controls for ringers and notifications in the sound volume menu.
There's an app in the Galaxy app store called good lock. The notification shade gets changed to more of a stock Android look and the lock screen has more customization options. After you download it installs itself like an update. Has anyone else tried this?
Notification shade
Just updated it, one step closer to looking like AOSP. I wonder if this is the new version of Touchwiz or just an alternative.
It's not very good looking. Needs to have options to change the colors.
Good thing its optional.
You can change the colors. In the routines settings.

Edit: I found it
Yeah I like it a lot, found it much faster and smoother then stock hope this is a tease of things to come. Only thing I found was motion wallpaper does not work. I have found most people dislike the recent apps but I find it faster and easier to use.

It was just released. I figure it can only improve, especially after they sift through all the initial feedback.
I uninstalled for now until they sort out the bugs. Was getting battery drain from it accessing my location so much.
Lockscreen effects are back!!!!
had to uninstall it because the notification suddenly became blurry and I couldn't see it anymore (though clicking on it would still complete the wanted action)
Running it and it is pretty good, you set up various "Routines" to change you WiFi, BT, color and other settings depending on location or time.
Works good but broken when used with the sammy LED case
Tried it yesterday. Intriguing. But buggy. Seems like Android system ui tuner could be activated, but wouldn't. Changed the behavior of my home button. Not sure if quick setting tiles could be changed. Status bar and notification tiles look a lot like stock Android N, but lock screen behaves like Jellybean. Looking forward to trying it again after more bug fixes.
Also, wifi calling notification appears twice. Lock screen widgets are not so useful if you like to use the fingerprint scanner. Same goes for the lock screen shortcuts. Fun to play with, though.
This breaks encrypted SD cards

I had bad battery drain with this. Also, IMO, the color options are way too girly.

Oh this is nice....I'm.loving it!!!!!!!
This is great! For some reason after connecting it to my car the constant location settings pop up went away, even with location off! Still no way of organizing the quick toggles, but a definite improvement over stock. I've not seen any increase in battery drain either, with AOD on I lost 8% over 12 hrs last night.
Like most, I feel really empty without the LED.. I've been using, and have been dependent on the LED ever since my beloved Nexus One
and every Nexus/Pixel since..
Giving thanks:
Forcing us to pick up our phone just to see if we have any notifications is just uncalled for.
I want to check my phone when I want to, not because I have to.
I've tried pretty much every alternative out there -- they either didnt work how i wanted, or were just too ugly how they displayed the info.
Welp, enough rambling. Let me get to the point.
Lets us all give a round of applause to @grokus,
for providing us non-led'ers a true solution in the hell storm that has been created over this whole ordeal :victory:
He's been taking suggestions on what to include as well!
Behold, "Pixel Pulse"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.pixelpulse
Description:
- Pixel Pulse uses the systems ambient display, in a VERY minimal, clean, efficient, time interval approach, to display whatever app you want to 'pop up'
- Pixel Pulse will 'cycle through' each app if multiple notifications are present
- Notifications can either be displayed as; icon only, icon + app name, icon + notification title, icon + title + content, or a mixture of all three depending on the app(s) you choose.
- Color choices, and more
How to use:
- Must have Ambient Display enabled. - (I just have the 'tap to touch' slider on).
- Have 'New Notifications' (Inside Ambient Display settings) enabled. - (This just allows Pixel Pulse to take over how to display the notifications).
- Battery Optimization (for this app) disabled. - (So the system continues the run the app without shutting the app down) ---- Settings > Battery > Battery Optimization > Pixel Pulse app > Don't Optimize.
- Go back into the app, set everything up as you like; colors, the time interval between pulses, what apps to display, how to display, etc
Going a Step Further:
- Once you have everything enabled you will be greeted with a persistent notification that displays "Pixel Pulse is Running". This notification will be present at ALL times; pulsing like a notification when the screen is off and in the notification drop down. Lets get rid of this (look at the next line).
- Settings > Apps & Notifications > Pixel Pulse app > Notifications > uncheck Pixel Pulse is Running > Enjoy :good:
And there you have it! Enjoy your new LED notifications haha :laugh: -- Cant wait to see future development.
Thanks so much for the mention! I'll subscribe to this thread so if anyone has any issues or requests feel free to post them here.
I came across this a few days ago and even donated to get the pro features but for the life of me couldn't get the repeating pulse to work. It would show when I got a notification but then never repeat no matter how many seconds I set the interval to so I just gave up on it.

After reading through that thread, i believe he fixed it sometime last night.. I pulses for me fine.. You might give it another go and see
Yeah for some reason I still can't seem to get it to work. The notification shows up one time and then never reappears. I have the interval set to 10 seconds just to test and nothing.

Yep, ambient display is turned on (tap to view) and set to wake screen with new notifications. Have Pixel Pulse enabled with notification access, interval set to 10 seconds, apps configured and timeout set to 0.
I think this one would be a better implementation for notifications because it does a light ring around the phone AND a pop up toast for the app.

Just be aware that displaying content over the lock screen like that wakes the device from doze/sleep.

Don't have DND on and made sure to disable all battery optimizations so that wouldn't affect it either. I'll keep messing around with it though cause it seems like it's just the app I'm looking for at least until OnePlus implements an AOD or someone makes a working AOD port down the road.
This is pretty cool,I wonder how it effects battery?

Yeah it's working here. Tested it out. It was iffy at first for me too.
I would say go in and just toggle the settings again and then restart.
After I did that it's been flawless.

However, if i may give one .. maybe two suggestions.. lol
1. While its pulsing, with hidden content.. Maybe remove the "pixel pulse" name and only show the icon itself? thatll clean it up a bit more i think.. (also: when new message is received, the content still displays, but then 'goes away' and continues to pulse without the content -- is that intended?).
2. When you have multiple notifications; gmail, sms, etc .. maybe have the notification cycle through each app every pulse? (first pulse could show the sms, then the next pulse, gmail, etc..) Or 'stack' them (maybe 3 at the most?) on top of each other while it pulses? .. So you get to see all three apps at one time? Or a combinations of those if you have multiple notifications from various apps? ..
Hope i made sense :silly: -- i can elaborate if need be ha

Yeah for those I have a feeling the Pixel lock screen doesn't work like ours. So he would definitely need to detect the device that's being used, if he's not already.

I only have a Pixel to test on right now so please bear with me while I try to understand this.
I suspect that the first wake up might be your device's initial wake but I could be wrong.
I'll be adding a way to only show icons in addition to the hide content option (like the ninja mode).
On the pixel they do scroll through all current notifications each pulse. The pixel only shows one full notification at a time. What happens on your device? I can try other ways if you're willing to test it for me.

I'm liking this a bit better than a couple of the other apps mentioned throughout the OP6T Forum .
Your set-up notes in the OP got me to give it a look & once set-up & tested,I immediately went to this one as my go-to LED Notification replacement.
Those who choose to use this or any other LED replacement apps are going to see usage in the battery stats.
This may be near the top in usage,my suggestion is don't get caught up in the numbers,just use your phone as you normally would.
You may see less remaining at the end of the day vs not using it at all,but,I'm willing to bet it won't be close to a "panic" / "wall-hugger" level.
If this wasn't using battery/in-use,the next app or process in line would be showing the higher % use,hence the tail-chasing of the battery life discussions,LOL.
I recommend anyone give this a shot & support the developer if possible............. :good:

Perhaps check your battery optimizations for all of the associated apps, including Pixel Pulse. (make sure they're not optimized & are allowed to run in the background)

Edit: Okay, not really working. Sometimes it is, but most of the time it doesn't.
