Nice update! good detailed explanation of the functions (like with all versions), and accessibility/privacy info :good:

one little thing that could be annoying is the information popup about accessibility that pops up everytime you go back from one of the menu's and even when already checked in settings. no problems with me, i only change the illumination settings one time :)

Request

Could you make the left led green, the center off, and the right led red when we have an incoming call and the center led red, left and right leds off, when we call someone?

Could you also make notifications for battery levels?

Could you also make a scroll effect when the screen is on with the led bar, in place of always letting it on?

And i don't know if someone else said it but when you let the bar always on, it doesn't change color with covers in the music player.

I hope I'm not asking a lot :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
1: unfortunately it can't be done the way it works now. With root access I think it is technically possible to set individual LEDs, but it would not be practical to use, or drain the battery.

2: When I get the time, i will look in to battery notifications.

3: No, see #1

4: I didn't know this, but there is not a lot I can do about it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
With root it is indeed possible to set individual leds and colors without draining the battery (and with a GUI to make it practical)

I'll not hijack your thread so won't put a link here. But just can tell you it's working nicely :)

@rundgong > have you rooted your own phone by now?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I don't mind a link to another thread if it brings useful information to the discussion. I don't consider that thread-jacking

What I meant by draining the battery, is that to make it blink you have to keep the CPU alive so it does not go in to sleep mode. Or am I wrong? Can you set it to "blink" and then go to sleep mode?

I did not get around to rooting my phone yet. But it is still on the todo list :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
I found an 'app-engine' to use it for my original scripts and build an interface around it.

It uses the original intends from applications to get activated.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1759801

And yes, when it's blinking it will not be a sleep, but you can set the cpu load and decide your timeout.

While testing (me + beta ppl) no heavy battery drains have been experienced.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gkn-28:
If i unlock the bootloader, does it void my waranty? because i saw that we need to unlock for rooting :confused:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
You should think about including a tasker plugin. It would be awesome.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
New version (2.3) added to google play.

Now it supports notification from almost any app.

You get a list of all the apps you have installed on your device and can choose to add them to the list of notification apps.

Obviously I can't verify that it works with every app out there, but I think it should work for most of them unless they do something weird with their notifications.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] djuliusl:
Wow! Thanks for update. Unfortunately the application lists aren't sorted alphabetically.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jitin02:
Love the update. What a morning surprise. Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Profool:
You sir, are amazing.

Shows up all my friends who have inferior phones.

For those curious about battery drain, I can confirm there is little to no battery use with the strip. I tested this out by having someone send me a text before I slept, and when I checked my phone when I woke up (4 - 10 hours later) I had at most, 1 - 2% battery drainage.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stavca:

ICS can't work???
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Tyseyh:
Just tried it and text myself because nobody else does, works a treat, thank you very much.

May i be cheeky and request a feature?

Just the small ability to have the LED not flash during certain hours, mainly on a night.

i ask this because i turn my phone over so it lays on the screen so that if i do get a message in the night, the blinking default led doesnt wake me.

i can't do the same with this app :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I don't think there are any problems with ICS. What specifically is your issue?

It seems there are a few people who want this, so I will put it on the todo list. Hopefully I will find the time to do it soon :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amfirbek92:

please keep it up and improve it .

i noticed that when select blink option its blink for a while and then off even the notification not cleared or the screen not on. could you give a look please ?

thanks again
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Mod what?

Can you provide more details?

How long until it stops blinking? What notifications is it that you get this behavior for?

What are your settings? Quick Stop enabled? Do you have a Notification Timeout set?

The Screen Filter app does the same thing also.

I will not add that functionality since there are other apps that already do it.

What would be the point in having the same functionality in my app also?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thebrainkafka:
Screen filter also dims screen and you have to th the app to work. Not a solution.

Furthermore his feature would perfectly Fit to Your app and gives more great funtionality

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jamaljmys:
oh iam sorry, it was my setting mistake. your app is Weldon man keep it up.

just a Q: why in non phone notification could not change the option '' stop light when screen is unlocked''? i think most of us delaying attend the notifications from other than calls and SMS, but need a reminder. am i right?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I looked into this a while back and found that the only way to do it is the same way as screen filter does it.

This means my app can't add anything useful. It would just be the same thing in a new package. An almost identical package :)

There is no way to know when the user has acknowledged a notification. Because of that I have to stop the light on some other event. screen unlock is the only one that makes sense.

That is why I added my own icon in the status bar. With that icon you can stop all lights without having to lock the screen first.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Can you light each of the 3 leds separately? Would be cool to only light up one or two.

I can't find Hotmail application in "add more apps" list. Is it a bug?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
No, the API does not allow that. That's a shame. It would be good if you could have 3 different notifications blinking at the same time

If you have installed the app it should be in that list. That list contains all apps installed in the device except for system apps
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
New version out on Google Play

Version 2.4:

Added "Off Hours" or night mode.

You can specify a time interval where there will be no notifications.

When the Off Hours have ended the lights will kick in again.

Hi rundgong,

Is it possible to have this app working on Xperia Arc S?

Yes I know that it lacks illumination bar but it has multicolor led that since ics update blink only on missed calls but not for the messages of any kind.

(it worked fine during gb times).

Basically, the question is is that API available on Xperia Arc S ICS firmware?

Is it possible to have small app that will just check for api and report supported or not?

Thanks in advance for any kind of help.

Kind Regards.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
There is no need for a separate app to check for API. Just download it and try it out. There is a button for testing the light.

But I don't think it it will work. Someone would probably have mentioned it in here then.

more colours

Hey, can you add more colours to choose from?

There's an app colorbar.apk that enables us to mix Red, Green and Blue and make the bar light up in any colour.

I really like it, but I keep my transparent bar off most of the time and only use this app for notifications.

But I want more colour choices. Maybe implement the RGB system?

Also, some battery related notifications would be great too! Lighting up when it's fully charged for example :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I have planned to do battery notifications, so that will come shortly.

I will have to think about more color options. I guess that good be a nice improvement.

Issue After Last Update

Well After The Firmware Update, This App Is Draining My Battery A Lot, At The Same Rate I Used To Have This App Without Any Issue In The Previous Firmware!

After A Whole Night Blinking By Battery Dropped From 90 To 30 to 40:( (It Had Dropped To 85 or 87 Before :laugh:)

And The Phone Was Heated!:eek:

Anyone Having This Issue??:crying:

I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue, so I dont really know what could be the problem.

Just to make sure, you have enabled both "Email" and "Gmail" in the settings?

Strange. Has it worked on other ka releases?

Maybe the illumination support is not included in that custom build.

This post explain how to get it working for CM9 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31592702&postcount=1180

Maybe that will fix it for ka also?

The blink does not stop until you unlock the screen from the locked state.

Unfortunately there is no way to know you have seen the notification. If you frequently receive notifications while the screen is on you can enable the status bar notification for this app. When you dismiss that notification it will stop the light.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Theonlyzii:
Hey rundong i think i found a bug :p

When i get email/gmail the illumination notification shows up and it dissappear immediatly :confused:

Even before i open my notification bar
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Can you give more details?

Is the screen on or off when you receive it?

Do you do anything when it disappears, or does it disappear anyway?

How fast does it disappear after it shows up?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Yeah I tried it with those files and it still isnt working at all. The light functions normally but your app is not working with it. It worked on KA13.1 just fine.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Theonlyzii:
When the screen is already on

It disappear when i see it very fast

Even i dont have time to touch it

It shows up and dissappear immediatly

But the illumination is still blinking:confused:

I have to lock the screen and open it again to stop the illumination :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
That is weird, that the status bar icon disappears. I only actively remove it when I turn off the light.

Has it always been like that, or has it started acting weird recently?

Does it happen for all notifications or only for some specific notification?

Have you tried to disable the status bar icon and enable it again?

That should not matter, but you never know... :)

Finally, is it still the same after you restart the phone?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mad_4u:
thanks for the app it's great but i found a problem and i had to stop it

so when ever i use facebook or the browser the talkback is on

when i stop the app the talkback option gos off

Suggestion

First I want to thank you for this app.

Second I have a suggestion for a feature. I would like to disable the light when im browsing in my mobile. If I unlock my phone, play with it it always turns the light on according to selected theme. But I would like to use the lights only for notifications. Is that possible?

Another feature could be controlign the leds one-by-one.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shoz_on4u:
Some info pls

Hi,

How do you control the three LED's do you switch it on is there a single command to switch it on or individual command to switch on each LED for example:

LED1 = ON

LED2 = ON

LED3 = ON

or simply LED = ON.

What i was thinking is to port the concept of xperia U by using RGB LED.

I know it's really hard task to do but we can try to do it atleast the coding part for the same i will also need a demultiplexer for all color possible color combinations. But for the start will think of specific color say Red Green and Blue only.

Any thoughts on this are welcome.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Theonlyzii:
It haven't been like this before

I think it started after i flash .50 firmware

At first it only happen in mail/gmail now it happening on sms to

Why are the LEDs Not so bright, like in the bootup, where it blinks for a second? For example: adv stock 15 Kernel. There it is much brighter for a second

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] roajah:
one feature missing

This app is great. Nice job.

I would like a feature to be added. because the lights turn off after a short period of time, it's like the bar is not even there and in the dark it's the most beautiful thing about this phone.

I know you have added an option to keep the lights on for as long as the phone is unlocked but i would like to change the intensity of the lights after a few seconds. Also a intensity level menu and time passed untill the lights dim.

I believe this is the only feature missing. Looking forward to your updates.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Rundgong is out of town for a little while just so you guys know that he isnt ignoring you. He has a new update planned.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
There are other apps that disable the "softkey backlight" functionality. One example is Screen Filter

It is not possible to control the individual LEDs without root. There is another app LEDs-U-CTRL that can give you individual control over the LEDs
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Screen Filter and some other apps can disable the "softkey backlight" functionality.

There are some sony apps that will set the illumination light directly though and I dont think there is any way to stop that from happening.

But I guess that is a feature and not a bug...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] damirbusic:
I want to use it only for calls, it would be great if you can make it to strobe when the phone is ringing.

For SMS, WhatsApp and e-mail I use Light Flow which is perfect and makes the great usage of the front LED.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
1: That should be possible to fix.

2A: It is probably possible to know when it is full, but when should the lights go off? Maybe turn off light when screen is unlocked? There is no natural cut-off time like when an SMS is read.

2B: I dont think that is possible. I don't think whatsapp will let other apps know about received messages.

4: more options for blink rate should be possible to add. It seems a few people want slower blinks.

5: Not possible without draining the battery by keeping the CPU alive
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
You should at least be able to add gmail/kaitenmail/or k9 mail notifications. I have seen plenty of other apps which work with those. Not sure about whatsapp but I don't use it anyways.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rmk152:
Thank you works great ;) +1
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
1: is it possible that you have disabled the lock screen? I dont know how it would react to that.

2: I'm looking into it

I don't control the notification LED at all. That is all done from your SMS/Phone app

Probably not a good idea to have completely custom flash rates. I think that would be confusing to a lot of users, compared to having just a few presets.

I will add some more slower blink options though.

I don't think it will effect that at all.

Possibly the low battery notification and this app will compete for the LED and the blink rate will change from one to the other back and forth. But this is just a guess. I really have no idea.

I have no idea about this. I don't do anything explicitly to the vibrator, and I can't think of any other thing that will effect the vibrator either.

--------

Regarding e-mail notifications.

I found that k9 email client supports broadcasting to other apps when a new e-mail arrives. This is the only thing I have found and it would mean that for e-mail notifications to work in this app you would have to use that client as your e-mail app instead of whatever you are using now.

Also this does not include any way to know the e-mail was read, so there is a problem with knowing when to stop the light.

--------

Finally a question for you who want a maximum time for the blink:

Is it enough with one global max time or do you want different settings for SMS and missed calls?
