Hi all, I'd really like my backlit buttons to light up if I have unseen notifications. Am I correct that there is no open source solution for that yet? Can we get funding up for that? I'm happy to pay 5€ for that feature. Maybe others want to join so there is more incentive? Where should I post this that interested people will see this?
Thanks and regards

Gravity Box Module has this option, but as stated you need Xposed installed.

I've built a system where certain words get underlined, and if you let the cursor linger there, a small explanation of that term appears.
This is controlled from the XDA-developer encyclopedia forum, where each topic is a term, and everyone can add explanations.
For instance: the word Wallaby has been underlined with a thin green dotted line. If you linger there, you should get the encyclopedia entry for it.
I'm starting to create some entries, but please all feel free to add entries for difficult terms.
WoooooW that's great idea
Hello Peter Poelman
thanks for providing this new feature and great idea.
keep up the good work and good luck

Hi there,
cool feature. But it works only with the InternetExplorer.
No helping popup with Netscape 7.1.
Greetings, Kaputter :shock:
Popup Killers
I use Panicware's popup killer, internet advertising's gotten way outta hand, which cancels out your forum's popups. There are ways to set the XDA forum as a url not to kill popups. As more and more people try to get rid of these popups, you may suffer with your new feature.
You'd thing these advertisers would learn from the home phone soliciting ... I disconnected my home phone service cuz it got so bad (50+ unsolicited calls a day!).
Maybe if we all disconnect the web, these advertisers will get the message ... yeah, right!
Kill all pop-up advertising, pay what-ever it takes but kill these advertisers!
There, I'm better now .. back to XDA'ing ..

great feature! I am also a forums admin could you tell me where you got that little gem? and if you want any help with PHPBB 206 let me know I have messed around with tons of mods etc. at www.scotts-web.com/phpbb2/ its still very new but giving me great ideas for the use of furms like my game clan uses.

But if you know of good MODs to use here, or have good ideas for new features yet unwritten, by all means please let me know...
Hey all, Ive been thinking about what i miss about my pre, and besides the obvious wireless charging (one can dream, right) touchstone, the one other thing i miss the most is the glowing of the trackball device at the bottom of the phone for a notification.
Now i know there are many people who have WIMAX Notifier and will say to use that, but i really dont like it as much as a more behind the scenes and clean look, and W.N. keeps crashing and is really buggy.
My app idea would incorporate the 4 buttons at the bottom using different patterns for different notifications.
Ex:
Text: Glow all 4 slow
Email: Run from right to left back to right and repeat. (8 secs for one rotation)
Missed call: Glow only home
etc.
I searched and was not able to find anyone in the developing stages of an app for this. I would be more than happy to assist with the coding, but i have no programs or anything downloaded so far, and dont really have any idea what im doing, though i do know C, Java, & C++ a bit and can learn coding quickly.
Any idea on if this could be made to work, im pretty sure there has to be a way the light sensor sends a signal to the mocrocontroller to light the keys, but can it be done independently, outside of that code section? Any words of where to start with development of this app?
Thanks for the advice, please keep it relavent and to the point, i would REALLY like to make this a reality. Also please link me to any current development on this if you can find any.\
PS. I have an evo 4g, but i assume this would be a global android app.
PPS. Dont let my 2 post count dissuade you from the ferver i have to make this app a reality. I dont post a ton, but i am very serious about creating/developing this app with some help.

It actually has not been done yet. All that has been done is Flashlight Alerts and WiMax Notifier.

Right, which are not clean at all. I want a more subtle item that is similar to the pre functionality.
Thanks for the clarification, ive been looking forever and couldnt find what i was looking for.
I think that is a great idea and would look cool as hell. Try making a quick flash demo to illustrate your idea. I'm with you and can definately visualize it but, maybe others can't. Don't give up, it's a great idea.

I think it's a FANTASTIC idea having the 4 bottom capacitive buttons blinking/flashing/glowing for notifications. I would definitely pay for this.
The number one thing I miss about my Nexus One (which I sold back in May) is the trackball notifications where it would glow different colors. Getting the 4 bottom buttons to glow/flash would suffice for me. $10 bounty pledged by me!
This would be such an awesome app...
Alright guys it sounds like there is an interest in making this happen. I will start to look into what it will take for the process to begin.
Stage 1: Getting a coding program installed and getting the HTC Sense open source code to start looking into the light sensor callout for hints of making the bottom LED's come on.
I am committed to this one guys! Sounds like there is a definate want for it thus far.
Good luck man...with all the devs have done with this device, I dont see why this wouldnt be possible.
Btw.... shouldnt this thread be in Apps/Themes section?
sent from EVO with XDA app.
This sounds great!
Alright guys, small update, got the software downloaded and the code/sdk for android 2.2. Wasnt motivated enough to put on my nerd hat and get into the code and start searching out the specific lines im looking for. The good news is I have a flow chart laid out for the notification in each scenario.
Gotta figure out how to ensure the program boots on startup and continues working until force closed.
I will be starting with Froyo, and will move it back to 2.1 eventually. My primary focus will be 2.2 on the Evo.
Welp guys i spent 10+ hours this weekend just to figure out that those LED's are only allowed control when the screen is on. This app is not possible without a significantly more experienced developer, who could make the screen control independent of the LED's. Given my little experience this has become too difficult for me to handle. I will sell my idea for free though!
Thanks for trying, would def be awesome if someone could come up with this. My old samsung instinct use to light up the bottom when it had messages, being that it was a samsung as well, I would *think* (i'm not developer) that there are def ppl with the skills to figure this out .... eventually =) thanks for trying....
Not sure where to post this...but...

A better description on the thread title would help you & the forum members a lot.
Infact, any sort of description whether on the thread title or your post would be helpful. Just posting a youtube link with a vague comment without any information about what sort of a video & its context is to be frank, quite irritating and can be classified as spam.

OK peeps this post is about the flashlight apps actually activating the camera so BIG BROTHER can spy on us and see what we're doing in the dark...
I thought this was old news? As far as I'm concerned they can spy away. I use that app to help illuminate the darker corners of my body that light does not get to (for grooming purposes ya know) Jokes on them. tehe
...welcome to the xander zone... always wanted to say that.

I never use a flashlight app anyway, I just use TWB because its integrated into it. It's funny because If I had a flashlight app that requested those permissions I would just block them via xposed and call it a day.
Hi,
does somebody know if it is possible to access the "LED stripe on the top edge of the back panel"?
I mean is it possible to access it with software to do some fancy color hack modding...?

It might be, but development for the Pixel C has been @randomblame and @cheep5k8, both of whom are quite busy. The former is tricking out his new old ride, while working long hours, last I heard, and the latter is mad busy with work and adding a bunch of stuff to his kernel.
Edit: If I left anyone out, I sincerely apologize!
Based on what @cheep5k8 said in this post, It sounds like the light strip is not controlled in the android software at all, and would require a lower level hack. Definitely not saying it can't be done, but probably WAY more work than it is worth.
I'd just like a way to disable it altogether. It is super bright when I pick up the tablet in the morning and disturbs the wife.

im also searching for an opportunity to customize the light bar, i found sth here:
forums androidcentral com pixel-c 627989-led-lightbarhtml
(needed to delete the dots and slashes)
but it seems very complicated to me, would like a app to adjust it.
or do you guys see an easy way for that?
i'm actually curious to wich colours i would change it, just wann be able to change it lol
(btw. first post ?)

Doesn't appear that it's possible. For more information see posts #179 to 182 here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/pix...nicorns-6-0-1-dragon-05-05-16-t3372823/page18
hi,
there is a pxl 6 at the shop , so i had a look.
couldn t find anywhere an option for take a photo in "motion mode" , is it just activated depending of what you take a picture of?
quite sad to see that so many modes are missing , like timelapse, macro, long pause etc etc
so nobody knows?

It's hard to answer a question about a specific phone software feature when only about 50 people on planet earth have access to said phone and can't talk about it because of some bumbo jumbo embargo.
Even though, technically, there are already at least 2 people here on XDA that received their P6 early, I'd suggest if you really want to know, you just privately message them and ask them to try that feature out. You should be able to find them rather quickly by just scrolling through the last dozen threads here.
ok thx
