I think some demo app for setting the theme was mentioned earlier in the thread, but I'm not sure.

Leds-U-Ctrl can probably do it also
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XUx3:
I doesn't work :/ Okay i'll wait until you updated your app :)

Thanks for your help :)

regards
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] naszrudd:
im using pureblood rom now.

before this app work on stock rom.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
If you are using custom rom there is not much I can do to help. I don't know what is added or removed there.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XUx3:
Oh by the way... is it possible to deactivate the light on every button press/touch? I want it like before just when switching on the screen...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I dont know. I have no idea why it lights up every time you touch it.

But it does feel like its the event that should keep the lcd backlight on that also triggers the led bar.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XUx3:
Do you think it's possible to use the event from stock rom or to change the event somehow? This should change the bug with the led over the screen too...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Version 2.9 uploaded to Google Play.

Including support for Theme Colors on CM9

I have no idea. That is probably a question for FXP developers.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ljubanve:
Is there some alternative for download because on Google Play is still 2.8?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Usually it takes a while before it gets replicated to all servers. It will show up shortly
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XUx3:
I just asked them... Only answer was "You can change it if you want."...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Weekend Offender:
i got update :)

can you tell me why is led bar always on when i enter into skype ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Did this behavior start with latest version?

Is it on as soon as you run skype? only when skype is in foreground? only during calls?

Does skype have a notification in the status bar when it is on?

Does it stop when you click this apps icon in the status bar?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Weekend Offender:
it starts when i enter into skype,it started on 2.8,its on for sometime and then it tuns off after sometime
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ljubanve:
I'm sorry but I'm such a noob...

Can somebody explain me how to run rundgong runme.bat? Do I need to connect phone with USB debugging on or I need to connect phone in flashmode or fastboot mode?

Do I need to copy those files in folder where is adb.exe?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XUx3:
Activate with debugging on :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Pleases answer all my questions. That makes it easier to find the problem.

How long approximately is it on?

Does skype have a notification in the status bar when it is on?

Does it stop when you click this apps icon in the status bar?

If you disable skype notifications in this app, does the problem go away?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XUx3:
@rundgong i searched about a hour if i can solve the problem but i didn't find anything related to the lights... :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ljubanve:
I did succeeded to start runme.bat but it look like it doesn't work.

When I reboot the phone brightness is maxed out and screen is always ON, even when the phone is locked, screen is blackish and on. LED bar isn't glowing and nothing from app can't turn on the LEDs.

How exactly should I enter this commands and is this one command?

rm /data/lightservice.soc /system/bin/illumination_service&

I tried to enter this from terminal emulator but it gave me error that I don't have permissions...

What should I do?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XUx3:
Type su before and accept the superuser thing and then type them again and reboot

Sent from my SXU.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] uristic:
I had the same problem.

As XUx3 said, first write su and pres enter

then enter both of those lines, note that those as 2 lines, as you wrote them in one. First rm /data/lightservice.soc, then enter and then /system/bin/illumination_service& and enter, then restart the phone.

That repaired the screen problem, illumination app still isnt working though

I have even tried to reinstal the app, but it didn't help... anyway the LEDs U Ctrl app from Play Store works well o.O
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XUx3:
For me it's working now and i can change the theme color with the updated app. On fxp it still says that you can only change it on xu but you just have to click on it and it works.

Sent from my SXU.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] uristic:
Sooorrry my fault :D You need to go to general settings and sellect xperia u under "select device" first, then it works :)

Thanks :)

Anyway, the above the screen LED still glows until restart when reciving a nortification... can that be fixed ? I can survive with the LED bar being activated on touch, but the smal LED is kinda anoying -.-
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ljubanve:
OK. It's seems to be working now. I can change theme colors but there is a bug with brightness. Every time screen is locked the brightness resets to some low level. Anybody have this problem?

Thank you all for help, btw.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XUx3:
I just asked the fxp developers again where the event for the brightness control is.. if i get an answer i can try to fix it :) but i'm not a coder so don't expect too much :D

Sent from my SXU.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] myzar:
you'll not get any help the code is lights.c compiled in lights.montblanc.so which is overriden by lights.st-ericsson.so , looks like they are using different values for brightness , sony library has max 100 and cm9 has max 255
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XUx3:
But it has to be possible to change it somehow...

Is it possible to decompile the .so files?

Sent from my SXU.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] coolvicky4u:
Did you notice the power led stays always on after the 1st notification? Are you having this problem?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] myzar:
yes i've the same problem too, i dunno if it's a bug in cm9 or in the illumination bar app
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] coolvicky4u:
I think the lib files which you edited might need further editing. I am not a programmer so can't exactly tell :mad:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I noticed that this problem is there even if my app does not notify.

Probably this is a problem with how CM9 works with the sony libs.

Since CM is not meant to work with those libs I guess we can't really call it a bug in CM9.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] coolvicky4u:
So I guess there is nothing we could do about it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] myzar:
Maybe i can fix it raping lightservice.java
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JesusMcCloud:
That sounds like a really dirty hack.

On the other hand, how big of a botch is the current solution already?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] myzar:
Ok i think i've fixed everything brightness resetting itself and the stupid power led too without any dirty hack but using lightservice.java from stock and repacking it in cyano services.jar. Expect an update soon, maybe i'm able to fix the led bar illuminating when you touch the screen too
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Could you also add a option. When you choose the blink rate, for example 5 seconds, it goes like this:

The light goes from the darker to brighter, and when it reaches the max, goes down again, one level at a time, and then stays 5 seconds off, then lights again, and so on. Could you make it like this:

Goes from darker to brighter, one level at a time, like how it is, but then stay on for 5 seconds (depends on the chosen time) then goes off for 5 seconds and so on...

Did you get it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] coolvicky4u:
wow that's awesome. keep up the great work thank :laugh::good::victory:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XUx3:
It would be so awesome :) if i can help you with something just pm me :) i'll try my best :)

Sent from my SXU.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] myzar:
Ok now everything should work like in stock, power led, brightness and the ledbar doesn't glow when you touch the screen

Just flash it in cwm and let me know. this is for xperia-u and fxp 201+ only don't try it on anything else unless you know what you are doing
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JesusMcCloud:
After examining the zip file I think it is safe to flash it if I previously flashed the first version posted in this thread. But I am not sure. (does the updater script complain of it can't find a file it is supposed to delete?)

Do you think it will just work if I flash it?

EDIT: never mind. I will just reflash the system if it does not work and report back ( probably tomorrow)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XUx3:
I just flashed fxp again and than this and everything works fine :) thank you so much myzar :)

Sent from my SXU.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] myzar:
you can reflash over it without problems the needed files will be updated
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ferro123:
I've tried the .zip posted to myzar and work very fine!! good job sir :laugh:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alematt:
It works also for notifications?

What if I flashed the zip for disable the bar first? No problems?

Inviato dal mio Xperia U con Tapatalk 2
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JesusMcCloud:
Yup! Everything works. Notification led in system settings and illumination bar using the app.

Great work Sir!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ferro123:
ColorBar for mod the colour of the bar work fine yeeee
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alematt:
i flashed the zip over the firedroid. got bricked phone. even after flashing firmware with flashtool i got bootloop...what can i do? thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Salo-S:
The .zip file it's for FXP 201, that contains a boot.img for UNLOCKED bootloaders

It's NOT for FireDroid's ROM
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alematt:
ok i'm stupid! but what to do?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Salo-S:
Re-install the rom! Or just re-flash your phone using flashtool.

For firedroid's rom, use disable.zip to turn off until someone release a fix to this rom.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alematt:
i reflashed with flashtool! but when i turn on the mobile goes in bootloop! sony-->xperia-->sony......
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Salo-S:
did it wiped data?

try to flash GB and then ICS..and wipe data using flashtool
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alematt:
now i'm trying with wipe data!

it works! thanks a looooot!!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] guitarfreedom:
hi ! all is working fine now...but why does option "set theme color" is not available in the app "Illumination Bar Notification" ?

It says "This feature is only available on xperia U" but I have an XU.. Thanks !
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ljubanve:
You need to select Xperia U as your phone in general settings first.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XUx3:
for me it says the same (even if i switch it to Xperia U) but i just have to click it and it works.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] coolvicky4u:
Power led problem still exist the me :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ljubanve:
I've flashed the boot.img from fastboot and installed zip later in CWM and everything is working great. Maybe you can try clean install of CM9...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] guitarfreedom:
I've already selected XU in general settings, but when I click on theme color it happens nothing..suggestions?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] furlan23:
You can use colorbar bar and select the color. In this way i have cm9 with green led!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] myzar:
install or reinstall the last version from market, you prolly have the old one without cm9 support
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] coolvicky4u:
thanks got it to work after full wipe :) :victory: :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JesusMcCloud:
Is there any chance that this will be merged into base fxp? Or would this lead to license/copyright issues?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shysparrow:
Thanks

Gr8 App :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] guitarfreedom:
Exact ...after upgraded app on play store, all is ok!

Now with cm9 and Illumination bar, XU is perfect !

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stuphi:
No Chance!

CM is based on OSS code. I am sure the will resist random sony libs as much as possible. FXP has said as much.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] soulhackereborn:
Can u play around with Sola files and make the app Sola compatable too!!

M using CM now and the led is buggy n the bottom bar below navigational key also doesn't illuminate :(

Always all things are done with XSPU nunin foe Sola!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SpaceCaker:
Thanks for cool app works without root :) on gb nice :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
This is because on CM it does not report the same model code as on stock rom. It still works as long as you have selected U as your device.

I just wanted to leave the message there so people with other devices don't think it is supposed to work.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Yeah. Changing this effects other code as well, so it probably requires a great deal of work to integrate properly with CM.

I think your best bet here is do it yourself. The instructions contain a list of all the files needed. Probably you can just get the same files from your device.

If you are willing to risk having to wipe it you can try with the files for U. They are both based on the same platform, so it might work.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XUx3:
Rundgong is it possible to set the 3 leds to different colors as a theme like in notifications from leds-u-ctrl? Would be even nicer :)

Sent from my SXU.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
No, that would require a lot of changes. I think it is probably better to use that app if you need such functionality.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SpaceCaker:
If possible can i reqeust in theme color chooser a hex code editor ? To use custom color like 3be5fb or ics color etc ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I'll give it a thought.

But you should know that there are not 256 different values even though you can set it from 0-255.

I played around with that before and if I remember correctly there are only 32 different led levels per color. Thats why I figured the resolution you get from the slide bars is enough.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SpaceCaker:
Hmm okay

Still amazing work

Other apps needs root while this doesnt :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] VocaloidBoy:
Not work on fxp 201 :(:(:(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] soulhackereborn:
I'll try both aspects U files and Sony files and let you noe the results..

Cheers!!

Edited: - Not working with your files may be I'll try with stock Sola files
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kudaj316:
Is there an app to turn off led lights on xperia p?i mean the three lights at the bottom
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JesusMcCloud:
Since the app is not open source i would like to make a feature request (for XU):

If it is possible, could the color-chooser sliders be implemented for the different notifications? I.e. let the user choose a color using sliders for the individual notifications, instead of the predefined colors. No pressure!

best regards
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
You need to do the steps mentioned earlier in the thread.

I think the only thing is Screen Filter or similar apps.

I'll give it some thought. If I change it I wanna make sure that users don't lose existing settings
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JesusMcCloud:
typkru the

if (oldSettingsFormat())
convertSettings()
//your normal startup here

... but i don't want to be pushy and i do not doubt your programming kills, since you clearly know what you are doing :good:

moreover i like that you value compatibility (well not the right word, i can't think of a better one, since English is not my native tongue)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ferro123:
is it possible make compatible for the new release fxp 202?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] yribollen:
I have just flashed Sony_illumination_v2.zip over fxp202. And everything seems to be working as it should. but of corse, you have to try yourself. and i won't be responsible if you hard brick your phone. but that isn't likely

"thanks" if i helped :highfive:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] myzar:
i'll post an updated zip with the new kernel tomorrow
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JesusMcCloud:
Just an idea Form the top oft my head:

Couldn't this package be distributed as an apk that generates the boot.img at runtime so it is kernel independent (our Rom is peer opted anyways)? From what I understood, creating the modified boot.img could be done automatically using a small shell script. There is bash on cm9. A problem with this approach could be missing applications needed for the task compared to a desktop Linux installation.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] soul1:
Plz make a new zip with new kernel!

Why not simply put the files in the fxp202 before flashing?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thebrainkafka:
here we go:

credits to myzar

included fxp202 kernel

sorry rejected caused error
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
A better solution would be to create a flashable zip of the files I posted earlier.

Those files do not require the boot image to be modified so it will work with new kernels
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] soul1:
Thank u, i'm going to try this!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ljubanve:
I think there was a problem with screen brightness resetting or something like that.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JesusMcCloud:
Aren't there files contained in boot.img that need modification in order for the illumination service to work, so boot.img needs modification?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] myzar:
init.st-ericsson.rc needs to be modifified and that file is in the boot.img
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36310840&postcount=459

No. What needs to be done is it needs to start the illumination_service during boot.

At first we though it was needed to modify the boot.img to do that. But in the post mentioned earlier I found a way around that.

Certain scripts on /data partition are executed during boot so with that there is no need to modify boot.img
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thebrainkafka:
There is a link in rundgong first post. Is this also working?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] myzar:
I will try to make a flashable zip that doesn't use the boot.img. in the meantime this is a zip using the old way but with fxp 202 kernel
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ljubanve:
Thanks for a quick update, Myzar. I don't see any problem in flashing boot.img everytime, but yes, only zip would be nice.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] soulhackereborn:
Can u make one for Sola???

I can provide you with the required files and test it too.. :D

Tried it as per the tutorial in CM9 thread for XU with same stock Sony Sola files but led dies and screen brightens up to Max and doesn't change atall ...

Quick noob question - was this patch applied to the illumination app by rundong on the playstore?

(I know one of the patches was applied, but just checking whether it is the latest one.)

Awesome work btw. -to u(@myzar) and @rundong. :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ljubanve:
No, you have to flash boot.img from fastboot then install zip in CWM and at the end install illumination bar app from PlayStore.

Edit: on the second tought I'm not sure about the first step?!? If there is a boot.img in zip, is it necessary to flash it first or is it enough to just install zip???
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] myzar:
it's enough to to install the zip the the flash script will auto install the boot img

---------- Post added at 04:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 AM ----------

this patch is for fxp , it doesn't touch the app, the app without the service doesn't work because it's using a proprietary sony service missing in fxp
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XUx3:
The fxp202 fix doesn't work for me somehow... 0o

But when i install the fxp201 version it works...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JesusMcCloud:
I can confirm that the fxp202 version works:

wipe cache

wipe dalvik cache

install fxp202

install GApps

install Illumination service zip for fxp 202

...

PROFIT!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XUx3:
That's what I did... Even after making a clean flash of .54 and FXP it doesn't work. I get stuck on CyanogenMod logo...

With only 3 LED a KITT effect is not really gonna work.

But it's possible to control them separately.

Sony are idiots for not using the Led bar for notifications by default.. the tiny led on top is invisible and not this cool :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 3Shirts:
Totally agree. The bar is what really makes this phone stand out and people are always wowed by it, so why on Earth didn't Sony make more of it.

Notifications seems an obvious use
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] vaguin70:
i agree too.....maybe it could be a battery issue, that transparent bar has 3 leds and the notification led is just one....3 leds flashing for sometime it could drain your battery kind of faster, i dont know how much faster, but it doesnt matter to me, i will use this app

gracias rundgong for that wonderful app, i love it

keep it up amigo

TO THE DEVELOPER,

I have just purchased xperia S and having problem using the phone at night in a dark room..

The led bar lights goes off and i am having difficulty while finding those Dots (Return,Home,Menu buttons)

I found the wrk arnd, pressing camera key.....but still

Could you please add a functionality to keep led bar on as per requirement??

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rabangus:
Shame, cos when I'm using this app and I get an SMS, the notification bar flashes, but the notification LED no longer flashes.

Problem is, in bright light it's almost impossible to see the notification bar flashing, so the ideal solution would be to have the notification bar flash AND have the notification LED flash as usual.
