Not sure. Possibly only one phone event listener will get the events.

PM me a logcat log, where you can see both apps, and I can have a look.

I don't know.

Also if it is possible, it might have unwanted effects on other apps. In theory android would only unload it when other apps need the memory
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] michel8:
rundgong

Sent you PM including logcat, as wished.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pauldmps:
Yes. But the app has a memory footprint only about 2-3MB it shouldn't be a problem.

Can someone help me with the talk back issue

Though talk bck is off my phone is speaking everything out

I found out that if anything in acceaebility is on talk back will work, but I dont want to disable illumination bar notification

Is someone else facing this issue
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Some people have had this or similar issues with both my app and other apps that use accessibility. I am not aware of a solution to the problem though.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gnadh2007:

Could support be added for the xperia l?

had the app on the p and u and it's great.

Tried it and it does seem to work, BUT only if the Blink Rate is set to Always On
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Phantom Pt. II:
Does this work for all notifications of all Apps, or only calls and sms?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gnadh2007:
All apps
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Interesting. What happens when you select other blink rates? Nothing at all or does it light up, but not as expected?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] billbond4:
I tried most of blink rates and I get no led light up. Even the test notifications don't work.

Always on seems to be the only supported blink rate.

actually I think the only led light I got before installing the app was when I was charging phone. When it was charged and when I got a call
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Is it the same with both device settings? (S/P vs U/J)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Zap_12100:
Hey rundgong, will this new API Sony's providing be any help with your app?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Not much. It's mostly stuff I figured out already. A bit more info on how the fading works is good though.

Also it is good with a list of supported devices. Before no one would know if it worked until you tried.

Hi,

I've just downloaded and tested it on Xperia SP and seems to work perfectly fine with de U configuration. It works even with Stamina activated, which is a problem with other apps, includind Sony's.

[MENTION=4687087]rundgong[/MENTION] Can Illumination bar issues (such as theme) be fixed on XU CM and other builds now that the sources are completely released?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I don't think it will make much difference. CM has had limited support for lighting the ledbar for a long time, so the problem is probably not something the sources would help solving.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MagicMagicD:
[MENTION=4687087]rundgong[/MENTION]

Am I right in thinking that "SemcIlumination" doesn't work on JB ROM's that have been ported to the XU (i.e. from XP or XGO)? Is there a specific reason for this?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] subkhiadhi:
Thanks :laugh:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] michel8:
It would be nice if you could improve support for non-stock apps such as dialer, messanger and so on. Because led bar notification works fine with stock apps only.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
SemcIllumination has dependencies on native libs, so they must also be in place i guess. That does not sound like a significant problem though.

It is supposed to work with any dialer and sms app. Unless the apps do something weird that prevents my app from seeing the calls/messages

You can also use the app notifications for 3rd party messengers, as long as they have notification in the status bar. But that of course does not work as good as using the native messaging service.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MagicMagicD:
Dependencies appear to be the problem. I've managed to get a tiny bit of useful information from logcat, not sure if that's all there is or if I'm just doing something wrong but basically the liblights-core.so that is shipped as part of the 'unofficial' JB ROMs for XU is from the XP and seems to have a number of different methods.

I tried using the file from ICS but it doesn't work, and sadly doesn't put anything in logcat to give me a clue as to why.

I guess that explains why they were using your IlluminationReceiver instead of sticking with SemcIllumination.

The reason I bring all this up is that the light bar doesn't seem to work quite right and it's the one thing that I really miss... think I'm going to have to do some more playing around to see if I can fix it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
It might be that XP liblights is not done for writing to the color leds, and the XU ICS liblights will not work with the other JB files
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] The Alpha Gamer:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
So if I install cm9. Then run the runme.bat i will have fully working notification bar like normal?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
It should work, but I suggest using IlluminationReceiver instead (see first post). That is a simpler solution.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
What's the difference in the 2? Do you use illumination receiver along side this app?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
IlluminationReceiver is instead of all those files in the zip.

You still need this app installed as well

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] small2cats482:
Is there any way the LED bar can work like ICS in CM 10.1 on Xperia U (illuminate when a softkey is pressed)?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
There is nothing I can do about it. CM devs could maybe do it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] small2cats482:
All that has been done about the bar is that it is linked to the notification LED. CM devs are kinda already busy fixing the rom, so I thought you might have a workaround for it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
As far as I know key press info is not available to 3rd party apps. If that info was available it would be easy to light the led also.

Sounds like the ROM you are running has messed up something...

That script has nothing to do with this app, but I guess it will disable the led completely if that is what you want to do.

It should work on all versions though, not just JB. It looks quite generic, except that it requires root.

How do i adjust the brighness of illumination bar to max? I mean like this topic for XS:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
It should be the same, you just have to change the device name.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Technologicfuture:
Hi guys,

i want to know if it is a known problem or bug that the Illumination bar notification & LED notification dont work simultaneously?

I mean the Illumination bar notification allows me to use the transparent bar for notifications but then the LED above the display wont work at the same time for the notification.

Normally the LEDS light continuously blue for missed calls, green for whats app, white for sms/email.

but when i use the Illumination bar notification the LEDs just blink once then just the Illumination bar notification lights up continuously.

Can i get both .. Illumination bar notification & LED notification to work together so that they both blink

continuously?

ps: i use xperia s newest jelly bean .96 version rooted and bootloader is unlocked

thx
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] GVN.Gallus:
But in the file hw_config.sh of XP doesn't have any similar code like XS :confused:

Sent from my LT22i
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Yes, this is a known bug in the firmware on xperia s

Maybe it's not needed on XP. it probably works anyway there.

Try it in a shell and see if it makes any difference. If it works you can add it to that script.

New version of the Pro app is out on Google Play.

Version 3.0.6 gives personal notifications for MMS messages, with the same settings as for SMS

The free app is not changed since it does not have personal notifications
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alex298:
feature request

Can you please change the app so that we can set "timeouts" for different types of notifications?

For example, it'd be stupid to have light notification for "Low battery" :) But 30 seconds blinking will help noticing.

Also some types are not so vital, and sometimes more frequent. So it's enough to blink for 1-2 minutes and then disable it. But missed calls or something else may require immediate attention, so they should blink until noticed.

Makes sense?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I'm not sure a lot of people need this. It could be good for some things, but I want to avoid putting too much settings for the individual notifications.

It makes the UI cluttered and harder to use.

I will give it some thought. maybe I can do something about it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] vishkaro:
I have a similarly UI cluttering suggestion: I think the "Don't notify when the screen is on" option would be even more useful if it could be set per notification type, not just as a general setting. As the warning says, "SOME apps will turn on the screen when something happens" -- this way the option could be disabled for events that turn the screen on (in my case phone calls, which is why I lose the Illumination Bar notification for missed calls when the option enabled).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
The reason I only have it as a general setting is because people might misunderstand it.

If you check this for e.g. SMS, you could miss an SMS-notification if an incoming call was ringing with the screen on when you received the SMS.

This is maybe not what people expect.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rinou:
Hi,

First thank you for your app !

I have the same problem on my xperia sp : the light will stop blinking after 5 minutes.

(SMS, missed calls...)

If you change the option on Notification Timeout, it will be the same (i've tried all the value, but it still the same : it will stop after 5 minutes)

(The illumination bar lights up perfectly when the screen is turned on)..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
This is probably because of stamina mode. Some other people have had similar problems with it.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] The_0bserver:
Well since the Brightness of the LED bars seems to be connected to the brightness of the screen, you could use apps such as tasker (this is a paid app)/Llama (free app) to change the brightness as per required., Either ways you would want a brighter screen during the day, and not need a very bright screen during the night, so it wouldn't really be a problem at all.

PS yes I know this isn't exatly a fix, more a hack, but it does get the job done. :/

No, Sony added some kind of limiter to the light power in the illumination service in one of the upgrades.

What's enigma?

The problem on the XP is that the level is limited in the illumination framework files for some reason.

If you have root you could try to remove the SemcIllumination.apk, and replace it with my IlluminationReceiver as mentioned in the first post.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] vishkaro:
I think it would be useful if Illumination Bar Notification could be made accessible to other apps so they can have basic control over the illumination bar when needed.

For example, I'm using an automation app called Llama (similar to Tasker). It can start apps and app shortcuts whe certain condition are met, and it could run a special Illumination Bar Notification shortcut that would turn the illumination bar on. (I can't use the notification trigger because Llama keeps an icon there all the time.) Maybe this functionality could be achieved through Android intents as well.
