[Q] Trickster mod gamma -values - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

When I put the green gamma offset to a minus value (ex -7) the screen turns green on low brightness, does this happened to you as well?
*Edit*
The screen doesn't get a greenish tone, but becomes green, most colors become green, this doesn't happened with blue or red.
*Edit*
I seem to lose battery life while charging,
Wtf

LED Color Change?

I have a buddy that has the Nexus 1 and after he installed 2.2, his LED light would change for different notifications like,
Blue LED = Handcent Message
Purple LED = Craiglist Post
etc.....
Is this something that is implemented inside our version of Froyo?? OR is that even possible on our EVO's

Wouldn't the led's have to be physically changed to have the different colors? AFAIK our evos only have a red and a green led installed. I guess its possible I could be wrong but I don't think so....although it has happened before....hehe
Not necessarily. I would imagine it could be changed, unless there are 7 or so LEDs in the N1.
P.S. John Denks sucks.

Thats correct. Evo's only LED colors are amber and green.
Also, I believe these sort of questions belong in the Q&A section. Just a heads up for next time
EDIT: See here for details on LED Swap.

I don't think software or firmware can determine the color of an led....
You only need red,blue, green to make all the colors imaginable...since our phone only has amber and green, then theoretically we can combine those colors to make more...unfortunately, what colors could those be?

theoretically true IF you could realistically vary the intensity of the LEDs, but one LEDs are not generally that readily variable and two, they are most likely connected to digital outputs so they are either Off or On.
Will not work that way. They are individual parts and on the evo the green is angled to the left. And the amber is angled to the right...so even if you could turn them on at the same time they would not be focused to one point to blend into a different color. Give up can't be done! Unless you swap out the leds.
What about varying the duty cycle of the leds, theoretically that whould result in a color blend even though leds are angled.
However, there aren't many colors that could be created by mixing green and amber.

Interesting
On my nexus the led only blinked white, and many people challenged whether or not it can be done, but eventually there was a mod released allowing to choose between any color I wanted to track ball to glow.
But if the LEDs are in different places like stated above then I think it would be more of a challenge.
from what i have noticed with my evo. the way the LED light is set up is: A electric current flows one way to emit a green light, or it flows the opposite way to emit the amber color. This is something I have learned in a circuits class and seems logical that it would work this way. I dont think with this situation having different colored LEDs will work.

Have you tested this? A typical led is a diode where current can only flow one way, and based on the fact that the leds are displaced, it appears that there are 2 leds.
Additionally, even if only one led could be on at one time, alternating the emission while controlling duty cycle could create an effect of mixed color.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Most likely it's two leds built together. White leds can be made the same way, with a red, green, and blue diode built together. When all three are on, the color will look white.

On CyanogenMod 6 (8/4 nightly build), the LED alternates orange and green for text messages and just orange for email and other notifications.

There are bi-color LEDs that only have 2 leads. Internally they have 2 LEDs wired in an inverse parallel configuration. You apply power one way, green... Apply power the other, yellow.
A better scenario is if the EVO has a tri-color LED (uses 3 leads), which means one set = Red, other set = Green, both sets = Yellow.

[Q] LED Notification Light?

Will this phone have an LED notification light or is that just a htc thing ?
Thanks
It has one, it's at the bottom, just below the buttons

Yes, it does have a Notification light. Its where, normally, you would have hardware buttons (The bottom, instead of the top). Its hidden underneath the glass of the phone.
Anyone know the colours that it is capable of?

In another thread, someone mentioned it's multi colored (not just orange/green, like my htc dInc).

Well, so far we've seen it in solid green, pink (red+blue) and light blue (green+blue) so the common interpretation is it's multi-color, RGB, what have you.
It also fades in/out for added coolness.

I also have the Dinc and I hate the led light. I came from a BB storm and that is the only thing I miss from that phone. Can't wait for this little feature.

Luckily it's just a single variable in source code, if I'm not mistaken.
I just about fell asleep waiting for the LED to blink the second time lol
i remember downloading an app for my nexus one that governed everything about the led including blink rate. i imagine i would just re-download it when i get my prime?

Here's another movie that'll show how the LED is working... now with more than one color
http://thedumi.wordpress.com/2011/11/11/samsung-galaxy-nexus-led-video/
Thanks, that video is new to me too.
I am feeling more and more ridiculous each day as such a seemingly minor hardware feature starts to completely overshadow my disappointment that there's no SD card slot.
This handset needs to arrive already so I can check one out in person :\
The LED indicator is truly powerful enough to sway me toward a purchase. I sorely miss it from Blackberry days.
Yeah, it's one of the biggest things that still makes me put my retired Nexus One next to my Sensation, then sigh sadly
Oh yes! Thanks for the video. I love the nexus one's light, I can't believe more phones don't have this. I know some have tiny lights but they are... well... tiny!

Notification led app customiser

Hey HOX users
Just was wondering if their was an app on the market which can let me customize the notif led on the one x. Also one which do sent use root would be preferred. Thanks

I also...
I've only seen them for the nexus line phones.. Well except for the nexus s.. I think I might of seen a rom somewhere that tweaked the led a little but nothing too drastically. I think it was like green led for notification, flashing red for missed call or something I can't remember
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I might be wrong but the led can only change red or green. It was the same with the htc desire.
We need a RGB LED notification light for various colours like in the Nexus or SGS3 or Blackberrys. I don't think we have a RGB one.

You are wrong on one count, the Desire was able to show blue, magenta and others, can't remember which mod or app i used to do it though.
Sorry don't know abt led but there is an app called "no led" which worked a charm on my sgs2. though this does not use led!

My bad, i never managed to find an app that worked.
Try light flow light it can make the notification led glow in different colors.But in our one x its of no use since our phone has only red and green led.Miss my desire for that feature it can nearly display 5 or 6 colors and i assigned a color for each different type of notification!

No LED is not a very good solution for non AMOLED screens. With LCDs the whole screen lights up, this will drain the battery faster.
HOX only has RED or GREEN
Not to question anyone, but how has it been determined that the HOX ONLY supports red and green, aside from that being all that we've seen it display? I ask mostly out of simply curiosity (if someone has looked at the actual LED, or perhaps seen code proving it), but also because I just don't understand why a manufacturer wouldn't include an RGB LED over two separate LEDs or a bi-color LED. I can't imagine the price would be that different, and the possibilities are endless. No LED is silly, a non-RGB LED is silly. Wish the manufacturers would think these simple things through more.
Still, I've had Samsung phones prior to this, so I'm used to having no LED at all, so even green and red is a big upgrade to me!
Hi
At best you might get three colours, Red, Green, or Orange, i.e. both Red and Green lit, this will give you a yellow/orange color.
However, in order to optimise the circuitry layout, the LED likely only has two connections. To switch between red or green, the voltage is simply reversed. This makes it impossible to have both LEDs on at the same time. I expect this is the case in the HOX, so Red or Green is all you can get.
Regards
Phil

Take a closer look at those LEDs. They won't be changing color at all.
The red and green actually come from different parts behind the mesh.
From this I would gather that there are just2 different LEDs behind there.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
would be nice to have both flash at same time or have them blink a certain number of times or have them stay on for a few seconds or something like Morse code...
Is there any app like led me know that can use keys under the screen for notifications? that would make me so happy i have a international model with the default rom

Red LED

Does anyone else have a problem with the red LED being awfully dim. Green and blue are bright as can be, but red is really dim.

The same thing happens with the international noteII and the international SGS3 (i9300) with JB firmware. The notification LED auto-adjusts it's brightness based on the light sensor (similar to the screen auto-brightness.)
To prove it to yourself, hold the phone so it's facing a bright light source and you'll see that the notification LED is brighter. Turn off all the lights in a dark room, and the LED gets dimmer.
Personally, I think it's a nice feature. The LED is for notification, not a strobe light in a dark bedroom.
Not using light flow or anything.
As for brightness, it seems to be dim no matter the light, and the others seem to be bright no matter the light.

Wow that is cool. I keep my phone next to my bed, and use it as an alarm. When I had the LG Thrill I had a BLN (touch keys as notification) app and it was so distracting at night I had to turn my phone over so it didn't blink and light up the whole room at night.

The thing is that my green and blue lights DO light up the room in the middle of the night. LOL.
I went to the AT&T store today and their red LED is about the same.

That is true. Our phone has an LCD display which requires a constant backlight on all the time when the display is ON. However LED displays such as AMOLED used in higher samsung models, use individual backlights (LEDs) and only lights up the pixels that are being used whenever you see something on the display. So for black colors, LEDs are OFF so you get great BLACKS...
So it does not matter whether you use light or dark theme in galaxy w. It will use same amount of battery even if everything is black on the screen.
