Is there any program that will either remove and or change when you receive a phone call?

What does this mean? Seriously.
If you need help, you're going to have to write in such a way that others may understand you.

Whats hard to understand, he's looking for an app to change the trackball color when you recieve a call or text. Which I dont think is out yet since theres no full root
What the OP is missing in the post is the word notification.
The top battery led indicator (see page 16 of the G2 user manual "Notification LED") doesn't flash as notification of missed calls, e-mail, etc and a fix should be available soon. I contacted HTC and that's what they told me.
Trackpad notification indicator

One more thing, HTC refers to it as a Trackpad, not "Digital track ball".
See post #31.

Cyanogen has written a file than enables notification. It works for me, but would need to be reinstalled at each reboot.
Try the app noLED. Not perfect, but a decent alternative work-around.

I'd be careful with this...this was made for the amoled screens and it worked well because it only needed to light that small portion of the screen. lcd's are backlit. This has the potential to kill your battery crazy fast.

I love this work-around. I only use it for texts tho, but have yet to see any battery drain.
perhaps i'll leave it on for a while and see if theres any big hits.
Hey peeps!
I have this new idea for a app that runs on phones with secondary front cams.
Unlock the screen by it doing a face recognition of your face, no need to passcode or pattern lock it...
Hope to see it soon.
If an app like this is alredy available, please post it here, if not - DEVELOP IT AND POST IT HERE!
thats a great idea, the tech already works well enough on laptops so hopefully some bright spark can make it a reality
Would it always have the camera running or only when a button is pressed. I can definitely see this being possible and not too hard to dev.

Exactllly! And still, only noobs like me are seeing seeing this stuff... Some real programmers! Do this!

Camera will wake up as soon as the screen wakes up, and if it sees you, it should unlock.
This is a great idea for an app. Unfortunately, I don't have nearly enough coding skills to pull off facial recognition...
...and I only have skills to successfully use it
It would need something along the lines of Google Goggles recognition software.

Maybe someone can rip off the api's from goggles and make it work offline
Not a bad "concept" but not likely to be done until Gingerbread is used by all the phones.
You see the api to access the ffc on Froyo is very phone specific wich would only make this app run on the Galaxy S (other phones would work also but with a lot of work).
Second problem is how would you unlock your phone when it's complete black (I mean no light at all) would be a very stupid situation to find yourself in isn’t it ?
The sight of my hungover face first thing in the morning is enough to make my phone go to sleep for good lol
Nice idea though, might have an issue with varying light levels though

Can't light sensor and screen work together to bring the enough light for camera to work?
Great idea of an app
If you want to see what the developers are up against with the sensors.
Install and ICS Rom then install
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.androgames.level
Lay the phone flat on the table and play with it a bit.
Now try turning it face down above your head and look up at it.
Gives you a little more appreciation for what the developers are dealing with now doesn't it!
So if and when someone fixes that mess, make sure you THANK them!
The only reason why orientation is not fixed yet is because we don't have the official source and it probably won't be fixed until we get it

We don't even need source, just a leaked official ICS kernel for our device.

Good question.. Its pretty much the same setup as the SR but bigger screen right? How can we check on it?
Uh, not sure if our phones are compatible.
I mean the skyrocket and t989 are the same phone besides lte.
Note is different and could possibly brick.
I really dont know anything about development.. But as I understand the skyrocket sensor is flipped, couldnt they take those sensor values and invert them? Not sure if thats possible, probably already been brought up.
And if thats really all they need to do , put it face down on a glass table? Not sure what you mean by holding it over their head..

That has to be done at the kernel level which would require source.
You cant just use the Note kernel either because the display is different unless one is willing to trade not being able to have any display for autorotation being fixed.
well the kernel driver only tells the operating system the orientation. Then software takes over. All u gotta do theoretically is recode the orientation to compensate the sifferent orientation to the correct one

Why don't you do that and release an ics rom with correct rotation

That would require something that runs continously (battery life already is not as good) and takes precedence over the currently running program which would mean again needing to be at kernel level OR taking the source code for all the programs you have installed and have recode it to invert portrait and vice versa.

Wouldn't the code for the accelerometer be a class for app developers to call on? Could it be possible to edit that code at the end to just have it inverted?

The best way to fix this is to determine the difference in orientation, then, multiply the output by this difference to correct the orientation. This way, you don't modify any code, you just change the output by modifying it with the fixed factor (being the difference in orientation of the sensors).

Wouldnt the system keep orientation in some basis that has rotational coordinates in which case multiplying isnt the right operation. You would need to add or subtract.

Perhaps, I was just posting in obviously simplified "psuedo-code". My point was that you would want to build a layer above the UI's output which then filters the output to be appropriate. Most likely if it was degrees, you'd simply subtract or add figures on the X degrees and Y degrees, like you say. I'm not certain, the apps I build deal with time and money, not space, yet

This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24320571&postcount=5 is pretty much that but it lags a bit because its not kernel side. This is as good as it will get until either a t989 ICS kernel is leaked/released or source for either the skyrocket or 989 is out.

I used it on my nexus an tried it on the sgs3 it was nice but had a few issues with a led staying on
I had this issue also and I wasn't really sure what the problem was. The discription said the S3 is supported.

Im going with a bug
At the moment the leds hex codes sent through to the US versions of the S3 are all messed up. This is common across all apps that try to control the led color and is certainly a bug in the samsung builds for the US editions (it works on the euro ones)
I'm looking into rooted users being able to control the colors better by bypassing android and using unix to send commands to the device. We've got red, green and blue working but not any color mixing yet.
thanks so much andrew! Look forward to using this when you are finished!

sweet can't wait till this app works...
how's the the bug where the green stays on when the phone is just sleeping with no new notifications?
hope the fix comes out soon
There's still a bit to do, but getting out the colors,flash speeds etc are working .it's just trying to fight against the standard notifications that I'm working on.
Awesome.. I still have it installed & can't wait to get it back up and running again

So we would need root with an updated version to work?

If we're rooted already and using the app, what do we need to do to get it to work without the constant green LED? Or are you saying you have a modified version of the app that works with rooted US SGSIII's? Can you post that for testing purposes? I'm good with three color for not as long as the green light does not stay lit!
Im getting close to a having a beta ready.
Root will be required until samdung sort out their issues with the led.

W00T!! Cant wait to try it out, if I end up using it a lot(which i prolly will) I'll be sure to donate / buy the full version
I am hopping the updated version will also have a fix for the issue when it triggers an speach alert whenever you open a folder on the TWlauncher ("A folder is opened", "a folder is closed", whatever the English version says).
Then I will buy the full app.

Thanks for the info, that fixes it but it also turns off Google Maps Navigation talkback ... and the talkback service is turned off, I actually had to mute ALL sound in the accessibility setting.
it is better than before though but waiting for a permanent fix

Does anybody know of an app that will allow our rooted Pixels and Pixel XLs to capture any screen - including ones like bank app screens, pharmacy app screens, etc.? I think I had this on my HTC 10, but maybe it was accomplished via XPosed. Thanks!

Apologies. I only just realised now when I tried on a credit card app.
Yep. One of my recent phones had development for an app that would capture anything. Pharmacies, credit cards, banks, etc. won't work with the normal process.
I would never take this risk.. if you allow and app to take screenshots of sensitive apps the can virtually steal all your information as your giving it overlay permissions. There is a reason why is not allowed. And I wouldn't recommend you use a third party app and give them the power to look over all your sensitive information..

I understand the risk. I'm not talking about doing this on a daily basis. It's just handy NOT to have the limitation. It has been done, and I think I used it on my HTC 10. Maybe it was via Xposed like I said earlier. What's the likelihood we can do Xposed on the Pixels soon?

Well if you can't remember what it was I'd research it first.
It will be awhile for Xposed to be updated for this device so don't count on it.
