What do you mean by unseen notification?

Do you want to specify a color that will light up for all unknown apps the put a notification in the status bar?

What is an app shortcut?

Probably the best solution for another app to light the illumination bar, is to just use the illumination api directly
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wannywanson:
Amazing use of this feature! Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] vishkaro:
It allows to access/perform an action within an app by running only that shortcut (and without further interaction with the app itself).

When I long press my home screen, Android allows me to add (among other things) shortcuts, e.g. to run a music playlist (shortcut of the music player), to send a text message to a particular recipient (shortcut of messaging app) or to show directions to a previously defined location (shortcut of Google Maps app).

Not only can these shortcuts be opened by the user, but by other apps as well.

Here's a usage example based on the Maps shortcut: When I'm at a predefined location at a predefined time, Llama can open a shortcut which will then show me the next bus connection to where I live. This is possible because Maps supports shortcuts.

Hi bro

Are going to update illumination receiver & illumination bar notification to support cm11 and add support for xperia sp

It was working with CM 10.x but now it's not working with CM 11

Tanks for the amazing work
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
What device are you running CM 11 on?

SP is not supported on any version yet. But I should probably fix that...

Just so I know if it is a SP problem or CM 11 problem
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LIONS1:
I'm running cm 11 on my Xperia SP

It's not working now

But with stock ROM or cm 10.x it was working

And Xperia SP it's supposed to be supported, right?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
IlluminationReceiver does not yet support SP, but on stock SP the notifications work
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LIONS1:
Oh yes that's true I get confused between receiver and bar notification app sorry

So are you going to add support for xp and cm11 too?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Yeah, I will try to do that
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Try this version of IlluminationReceiver and let me know if it works.

I have not tried it myself since I dont have CM on my SP, but I think it should work.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LIONS1:
Thanks bro,

Yeah it's working with illumination bar notification app and the full 3 leds are working again

But with discolight app the music pulse is working again but very slow this time maybe because of cm11 or the app it self

And with Sony app like album It's not working although it was working with CM 10.x

But great work bro thanks a lot

Am gonna share it with other Xperia SP users ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] starterz:
Hello, thanks for a great piece of software. I was using it on Xperia U with stock ICS with no problems. I am now using kontini's stock JB ROM, and the illumination bar is not behaving as in ICS. The option to use it only for notifications is not working. Is there any solution, or is it just me having this problem? Thanks and all best.

EDIT: Reading posts here, should I also try using IlluminationReceiver with this JB ROM? Thanks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I'm not sure I understand what the problem is. What option are you talking about?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] starterz:
The option to keep it always disabled, apart from call/sms notifications. It worked for me this way in ICS. Thanks for the reply.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Do you mean setting the theme color?

It will probably only work on a real stock rom.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Xadious:

Illuminatic

I have developed an application for the illumination notification bar

features:

make the illumination bar always on

missed call and sms blink notification

Play link: Illuminatic app

:good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] PrimeDeluxe:
But with the other app you can choose between blink or static
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jorgestima:
I do not agree. The Illumination Bar Notification is better. It allows to choose the NXT phone model, the blinking color for Xperia U, the flashing rate and it has a test mode.

I really hope that Rundgong makes it better by adding brightness adjust and MMS and calendar notifications, always thinking in minimum battery consuption.

Good work anyway
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xperiax10.awesome:
No Way !!!

After disabling, the light continues to glow, have to uninstall n restart my device...m still on GB

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] illuminatic:
the blink rate in illuminatic is designed to support optimum battery consumption which actually saves power. There is a always on feature which is not present in the other app.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] PrimeDeluxe:
Always on is also available

A new version is now available on google play.

Hopefully I fixed the crash some people have got after upgrading to ICS.

Let me know if you still have problems.

Screen no longer lights up regularly. Now it stays dark.

Hi, i have an issue with illumination bar receiver, when i install this apk and the illumination bar notification app, my phone (xperia P) hangs, a lot, im currently running on cm 10.2 by percy. any advice?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] samarth sathe:
Yes,works with the stock rom!:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I have not seen that behavior before so I don't know what could cause it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Version 3.1 out with some new features.

Now you can use the regular android notification LED and also the camera flash for notifications.

There is also a flash light function to manually control the camera flash.

Using the regular android notification LED behaves differently on different devices.

On U its a separate small LED, but on SP it uses only the middle led of the illumination bar. On some devices it will do nothing.

This means you can use it in two modes on SP. Illumination Bar mode lights all three LEDs, and "android led" mode will light only the middle led.

These new features should also work on other brands. At least the camera flash should work on most devices that have a camera.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChinmayKunkikar:
Yeah! Works on htc right? :/ :rolleyes:

The latest version should actually have some limited functionality on an HTC :)

Possibly the flash and regular notification LED works there. I have not tried it on HTC though...

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] boeselhack:
Hi rundgong!

very nice app! Installed it along the latest IlluminationReceiver.apk on my wife's XPeria P with the latest CM11 (from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50169563) and it basically works for notifying me. But I'd also like to turn on the option „Softkey Backlight Always On“ (as in the stock ROM).

But that option doesn't change anything for me. Unfortunately the bar is not lightning when the screen is on.

Also tried it with the IlluminationFix.apk, but that didn't help either.

I'd like the illumination bar to behave like in „stock ROM".

Thx for your help!

Android notifications api

Hi first thanks for this very nice app it really makes the Xperia SP users like myself take advantage of the illumination bar.

I think One enhancement can be done though : as of Android 4.3, apps can read system notifications, I'm not exactly sure what information you could get out of that but I thought maybe you could use this to turn off illumination bar when a SMS is actually read or a notification deleted instead of turning it off when the screen is turned on and off.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I have planned to do that, but did not have the time yet. If it's not too much work I hope I'll have it done shortly.

For SMS (and missed calls) it already works though. It will turn off as soon as you have read the SMS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Version 3.2 out with support for the new notification API available in Android 4.3.

This means the light is stopped when the notification is removed from the status bar instead of when the screen is turned on.

A new global option to still turn off light when the screen is turned on is also added to make it behave more like before.

Note that this only works if you have Android 4.3 or higher.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Version 3.2.1 has some minor fixes.

The latest update on Xperia L has some bugs it appears, so this version disables some of the stuff that does not work.

Added Google Play and Sony Update Center to list of apps that can be notified.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ft297:
Hi rundgong,

my Xperia U with Stock Android 4.1.2 has some strange behaviour and I'm not quite sure whether or not this has something to do with the latest update.

The illumination bar does not stop blinking when the screen has turned on, but only for "not standard" apps like WhatsApp. Strange enough, I even can't activate this option in the settings menu, but as I already said - only for those apps (Email, Facebook, WhatsApp and so on). SMS, missing calls etc. do work like charm.

I need tho shutdown the phone to get rid of the blinking for WhatsApp. I'm an long time user of your app, but I've never seen such behaviour before.

I already installed the "Illumination Receiver" app, but no change.

Do you have an idea what happens here?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I have heard some users having problems with screen unlock events not firing properly.

Try enabling "Quick stop" in general settings. That will stop the light as soon as the screen is turned on

[MENTION=4687087]rundgong[/MENTION] it's possible in future updates to add the possibility of using both led bar and led notification at the same time?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Probably not. This does not make sense on all devices, so it might make the interface confusing.

At least it will be difficult to make an interface that is easy to use on all devices.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ft297:
This does the job, however, it is more or less only a workaround since I don't always want to have it stopped only because the screen has turned on.

It is working, but when I change settings of the application and click "Test LED brightness", everything works.

Notification Light doesnt work in Xperia Z1 Compact

Hi,

I have tried this app in my xperia Z1 compact and all the test works well, but nothing works with an event.

Hope you can fix this soon, i love this app since i start with my old xperia miro.

Thanks

Device : Xperia Z1 Compact

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I don't really understand the problem here. Permissions should not be relevant for my app.

If it works with the test button it should work otherwise also.

Does it work with missed calls, or SMS, or does nothing work?

Did you give it permission to read the notification events.

What app version are you running?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] theronkinator:
What does the Android LED mode option do? Normal/Attention/Status bar?

Also on my Xperia U is it possible to have it blink on and off, instead of fading in and out, I've not used the phone for a while, but I think in an old version of your app it had a setting like on for 0.5 second, off for 1 second, if you do 2 second blink now it's basically on the whole time at some stage of brightness.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Android LED mode are just different ways of trying to control the regular notification LED.

On some devices not all (or any) modes work. On some devices they give different behavior.

The fading is caused by the LED driver in the system. There is not much I can do about it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] theronkinator:
Thanks for the reply, no worries about fading, is there a way on the Xperia U to disable the stock notification light and just use the LED bar? Does the blink rate have much effect on the battery?

Also thanks for the theme colour option, letting you have the bar off in normal use.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I dont think there is a general way of disabling the LEDs.

The blink rate will have very little effect on battery life. LEDs dont use much power
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Herrero_pl:
I have bought this application when I was using Xperia U and it worked perfectly. Now I have Xperia M (similar do L) and I have some problem with this app. Test function doesn't work but there is no problem. Notifications work only when screen is on (unlocked or not) and 2 - 3 seconds after turning screen off. I was trying to add this app to stamina white list and permanently disabling stamiana mode, but without success. There is any way to resolve this problem? Thanks for any help
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Not sure what could be the problem. I have never tried it myself on M.

If the test button is not working properly, nothing else would work either I think.

If it stops working after 2-3 seconds it probably does not have anything to do with stamina. Once my app tell the system to light the leds they should be on for several minutes, even with stamina problems.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Herrero_pl:
Ok, I have been testing your app again and:

- test doesn't works properly - LED flashes but on white,

- I turned off stamina mode, but the result is the same - notifications work properly couple second after turnning screen off (at the same time color of LED works fine).

Very strange behaviour. It's pity, that this very good application does not correctly support the Xperia M. There is a lot of Xperia M phones on the market.

The best if... the battery drain wasn't so high when the lights are not on! I had 1000 wakelocks in 1.5h and 15 minute awake time without receiving a single notification. This is top battery drainer in wakelock detector. I'm on official latest 4.3 stock Sony ROM for Xperia SP. Same thing happened on 4.1.2 stock Sony ROM, so it's not the ROM.

[MENTION=4687087]rundgong[/MENTION]

I have a small question about Illumination Receiver:

Is it possible to reimplement stock features, like Album led colors and Walkman music beat light, into it?

Right now on Xperia SP only the notification LED functionality fully works on KitKat AOSP-based ROMs. Also, the led blinks pink every few seconds(stock Sony when there's no album cover provided) when using Walkman, but it doesn't change its colour depending on album covers and as I've just mentioned - music beat light doesn't work.

If you ever start working on it, I can provide you all the libs/apks/binaries/logcats you need. Of course no rush, just a small suggestion that would make our AOSP-based KitKat ROMs fully working.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Those are features for the apps to have I think. IlluminationReceiver only shows what other apps tell it to.

For music beat I have created U-Disco which kind of does what stock rom does and some other stuff as well.
