You all should know by now I am a active member on the forum answering questions when I and by no means am I stupid when it comes to tweaking my Dash: Black but I am having a tricky question; and yes I did use the search feature but didn't find much to these specific questions.
1]. I remember I once tweaked the brightness of my dash so it wasn't as bright, does anyone know how I did that because I can't remember for the life of me.
2]. I also am wondering if there is a way to keep the back light on when I am using Opera or another app on my phone but when I go to my home screen it only stays on for like 5 seconds [which is the minimum] because I like to save battery power but I also like to read articles on my phone. Any suggestions? Thanks again guys!

Yes I have, there is only so much that option will allow you to do. I am thinking there's a registry tweak somewhere that I am forgetting that would allow this to happen, or maybe a 3rd party app.
There was life before Excalibur
Look for "Tornado Lowlight" - this may work.
It has the same chipset (OMAP 850).

Ok, well I asked if it was possible and got no response. SO, I am officially requesting an app that allows us to control the brightness settings of our four capacitive buttons. Ideally I think we should be able to control their brightness just as we can control our screen brightness, ie: full dimming control, light time out, on and off switch, or default(uses ambient light sensor). If this can happen I believe EVERYONE with an Evo would use it
Ok, really, I need info/opinions, I WILL START A BOUNTY POOL IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED.....Come on people, this is the mouthiest community online I wanna see some input!
I think similar topics have been made. you may want to search and see how they ended up.
I have searched and no one has done anything except mention it, no one has asked for everything I am asking for. Really, its ok, I will find a way to make this work, but judging by the lack of response here I guess I should just keep it to myself. Just figured since the whole point of our community was obtaining total control(or close to it) of our devices that this would be a big plus to other Evo owners, figured wrong :-b

Hi Everyone!
I just picked up a Samsung Continuum last night. Actually returned my Droid X for this phone. The allure of cracking the Ticker was too much for me to handle any longer.
So with that said, has anyone been able to find out any information on developing stuff for the ticker? I know Samsung has not released any official APIs for using it. I'm assuming, however, that the drivers and some source code for using it has been released with the OS source code.
Is this a true assumption? If so has anyone started looking into how we can take advantage of it? I'm not a ROM developer so I'm hoping I can find ways into the API with the stock ROM.
Any advice and or pointers anyone can offer (especially if you've already been looking into it!) would be greatly helpful for me. As I said, the whole reason I got this phone was to hack the ticker. I can see so many incredible uses for it that I must find a way to take advantage of it!
Thanks in advance!
Oh, and this is my first post so Hi
Honestly i have no idea what so ever.
But i really hope we can do something. I bet there is some sweet stuff the right person can do with the ticker.
We currently have one dev (who doesn't have a Continuum) and a handful of testers working on getting Odin, Clockwork Recovery, and a Ported version of CyanogenMod going. No other devs or work that I know of..... Future looks bright though...
Thank you both for the replies!
I've spent a few hours looking into the source and dedexing some files off my Continuum. Made some progress, I think. I've spent my time looking over the TickerHistory service (the activity that gets launched when you click the up/down arrow in the right side of the ticker).
I'm trying to track down what actually happens when you click the Refresh button on that screen. I know when I press it my ticker updates but I'm not sure if that's controlled by the TickerHistory or something else. That's what I'm hoping to find out.
I wish I could see LogCat outputs but the Continuum is not being picked up by this computer. I will have to wait until I'm around my development machine. In the mean time I'm going to start playing with Titanium Backup. Going to freeze a bunch of services and see if any of them cause the ticker to stop working. That should help get me some more focused direction
I'll keep ya'll posted!

People have been known to call me that =)
I only wish I had a better knowledge of C/C++ (Unfortunately I work in a MS/Java/Adobe world) so I could help with the ROM cooking. I figured attempting to crack the ticker would be a good first step into the Android modding world =)
Well, it's nice to see we might have another Dev! Welcome to the forums!
ticker
Hey I been testing the the developers code and he had me dump the file attached. See if it helps.

Thanks for the dump Logan!
I've learned a few things since I've been home. Nothing major but the new information should help point us in the right direction.
No matter what service I freeze in Titanium the ticker continues to get updates. This could mean many things. Maybe the service is hidden, maybe there isn't a service. Who knows right now. This is really what we're looking for.
Disabling some applications makes the ticker not work when clicking an item.
For example, disabling SNS Provider makes it so it can't launch email when clicking on the email icon
TickerRootView is what LogCat displays as a Tag when interacting with the ticker (ie: swiping left to right)
TickerStandbyView is what LogCat displays as a Tag when, well, the ticker goes into StandBy
Disabling a service, sending a test email, re-enabling the service is not a fun process when you have over 100 items to test
As I said, nothing major has been learned yet but this information should help to keep pointing us in the right direction. Will keep playing and will hopefully have more updates by the end of the night
The ticker easily has the most potential for customization as far as development for this phone is concerned. I'm glad you've chosen it as your starting point. Many thanks for your hard work to come.

Editing out my previous message I had here -
Semi-decent break through.
Ticker code lives inside the services.jar file. com.android.server.ticker.*
Now to see where I can go from here =)
Just my little wish list:
Ability to set update interval
Ability to put 4x1 widgets in the ticker
Oh, and, someone else suggested being able to drop the dock down there, to free up screen space.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Changing the update frequency may be fairly simple. Need to test a few things with that.
I'm still looking into how we can get a custom View down there. The neat thing is it's just a ViewFlipper rendering Views, both Java coded and XML declared.

I purchased my Continuum for the very same reasons. I see this baby as being one helluva phone once we wash all of the 'whiz off of it!
As odd as it sounds, I am just as interested in cracking the soft buttons just as much as the ticker. The screen being physically a 480 x 992 display with rationed space for the buttons and ticker, I'd like to go about changing the buttons. Maybe make them bigger or in a different order, or have them change depending on mode or activity. Or rotate with the orientation of the phone! Perhaps a subtle pulsing of a button to indicate a notification while the phone is timed-out.
I feel that when the phone is figured out, we'll have a damn impressive device in our hands. A developer's dream.

I'd like to see the Pandora menu down there when it's opened. Can't believe Samsung didn't already do this.

That's a fine example of a 4x1 widget we could put down there... I would like to see Tweetdeck as well, but we don't have to agree on which ones if we just get the widget functionality....
Viva la devs!!!

The icons for the ticker (like the music player and the weather widget and etc) and the soft keys are in framework-res.apk just in case someone didn't know I just can't find am appropriate way to sign the apk back up once you unpack it so that the phone doesn't reject it xP lol

No progress to speak of today, unfortunately. Still trying to figure out if it's possible to add our own views to the ticker. Quite honestly, I'm not all that optimistic. At least not with having the ability to do it without requiring a custom SOMETHING (services.jar, ROM, etc).
The reason I say this is it looks like all the widgets are hard coded into the Ticker code. That may or may not be a bad thing. If I can find out where those widgets are added we may be able to tap into it.
I've also started looking into changing the update frequency for the facebook/twitter/myspace ticker widget. If I could figure out how to get the /data/data folder off my phone it would be super helpful. I guess I don't know ADB well enough. Even though I'm rooted every time I do an adb pull /data/data /usr/development/continuum/data I get a permission denied error. I know it's possible but for some reason I'm struggling with it, lol.
Will keep ya'll posted! I'll start looking into the "button bar" as well. See if I can come up with anything there.
I've been looking into the services that the ticker depends on for its feeds, and widgets, and it's all very interesting to me. I'm definitely going to be diving into this once I get clockwork up and running for everyone. Stay in touch and maybe we could co-op this one. (;
Hi all,
This is my first post on xda so please move it to the right section if this isn't it.
As the sgs2 doesn't have a notification led I was wondering if there is a possibility to have the soft keys flash upon receiving a text or an email and so on.
Reason I thought id suggest it because my other phone the lg o2x has the same issue with regards to the led and there is an app for that.
I am willing to buy it from the market to support the developer of course.
What you are looking for is called Backlight Notfication or BLN and as far as i know the kernel for the phone needs to support this. Since the SGS2 is fairly new there isn't a kernel with working BLN yet but most of the kernel hackers are looking into this feature. I'm sure it's coming, it just needs some time.
Hope this answers your question even if it doesn't help you with your problem.
Thanks for the quick answer. I just thought id put it out there.
It's not really an issue since most ppl prob check their phone regularly but I think it would be a nice addition to have it think.... Especially at night when you don't really want to turn your phone on every few mins to check for a notification
I miss this as well.
It seems to be rly complicated to implement, as some ppl are working on it for quite some month (!) now and still there's no BLN available… I hope that some day we'll have it nevertheless…

Well, if you consider that these people do it all in their free time then "month" suddenly isn't that much. Also this is probably not a top priority in the first kernel releases. These will concentrate on speed and stability, before new features are added.
Patience is a virtue, especially if you don't have to pay for the finished product

Q&A for [ROM][D855][20A][Lollipop] --|||..:: ChupaChups Rom::..|||--
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ROM][D855][20A][Lollipop] --|||..:: ChupaChups Rom::..|||--. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!

hi, somehow I don't see why not finish CyanogenMod first before you start other projects based on stock rom, which many people don't expect
sorry for my bad english
ermm... why not the 80° mod?
just curious, lol...
and no need to wipe or anything?
19h to chupachups
hi guys.
Sorry, new here, quick question, how would one get from 19h to this version?
getting allot of lag and i think its due to upgrading to 19h instead of installing fresh.
Sorry of the question is basic and if its answered somewhere. i had a hint around without luck.
Thanks
can you port this rom to d850?
Google Services Battery Drain
One would think with all the development in both lollipop and kitkat that this problem would have been fixed and implemented into all the new rom releases. Google Services battery drain depletes the battery preventing the phone from deep sleep and accounts for quite allot of drainage. A fix would be nice from the developers, Thanks.
@Skin1980
there are no notifications, but why my led keeps blinking?
Brave Frontier anyone?
anybody here play brave frontier? i wanted to try this rom but i'm hesitant to make the switch because in the stock kitkat rom, the game would constantly crash (even with all effects off).. Currently on AOSP it works well, but I miss the sleek look of the LG UI

What kernel are you speaking of? What settings are you running (brightness, tweaks etc)? A little context would help many folks smile a little. The pictures are all fine and well, but how did you achieve that?

Hi,
First of all, thank you for your hard work.
Could you please advise, if it's possible to customize this ROM somehow? I would love to:
1) Remove all lg software
2) Remove stock browser
3) Replace stock dialer with something else
4) Replace messaging app with let's say Textra or something similar
5) Have only Core Google Apps (something like PA-Gaps Nano)
Sorry for noob questions.
Thank you very much,
Yuriy
I dirty flashed this and ever since music from Google Play and Soundcloud just refuses to play. I can play music locally in other apps but even local music won't play in Googe Play Music. Has anyone else had this problem?
Banker Z Concern or False Positive?
Avast alerted me as well. Seems like it was able to remove it and everything was working before it was detected and still is after it was removed. Could be a false positive since a lot of people are reporting it now but better to be safe for now and let Avast and them go to work.
Thank you very much @Skin1980 for the great work! I'm having a little bug about notification LED. I'm having blinking white LED like Whatsapp default LED notification even if I haven't got any new message. I flashed the new kernel and using the Lollipop Theme of Kickoff.
Knock code is buggy
I don't know if someone else is having problem with the knock code feature as well. I found that some times the knock code feature doesn't work properly. While the screen is off and after knocking the proper code the screen won't wake up, not even after double tapping on it. Even the LED that turns on when you introduce a wrong code is not turning on, it is like it was disable. I have to press the power button, wake up the screen and then introduce the code.
I have a quick circle case and a smartwatch connected as a trusted device to use the new Smart lock feature that comes with Lollipop. I'm not looking for a solution, just pointing out the bug, I'll flash the LG stock image as soon as it's realeased in my country.
By the way, none of the quick circle apps work. Only the ones that comes with the phone by stock. You might want to check that up.
Thanks for all your work, it is awesome to have a developer community like this one. =)
Anyone having issues on Feedly after moving to this rom or any other Lollipop rom ? When scrolling the sources list everything gets blank, then reappears, like it's some rendering problem.
