[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Someone else also wrote about accessibility so I will check out that.

The white LED on Xperia U is actually different from the color LEDs. so I guess it would be possible to switch it off during notifications. I have turned it off permanently using the app Screen Filter since I mostly find that light annoying, so I haven't actually noticed the mix of colors...

I will give the profiles idea some thought

Just looking at the LEDs you can see that there are 3 of them. But I do not think that it is possible to light them up individually using the normal API
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I will do that during the weekend hopefully.

I'm not sure I understand that.

Should be possible. I will look into it

I'm not sure what to do about that unfortunately. On my Xperia U I don't see any conflict. If this is a problem only for Xperia S I have very little chance of doing any real debugging to find out whats wrong.

But if someone has any ideas to what might fix it I am willing to try it out.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Xperia U + GO sms is the same as I have, and I don't have any problems, so I really don't know what could be the problem.

Did you tick the "enable" check box? ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sidneylopsides:
Just noticed on my S that if I'm listening to music and get a text, the music stops.

Uninstalling the app stops that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gavster01:
Yes i have checked the enable box

I have installed and uninstalled the app but it still doesnt work.

I will try to unistall go sms and see how it goes

---------- Post added at 03:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 AM ----------

i have just uninstalled go sms, and now the illumination bar works. my problem seems to be with go sms.

im trying to install the go sms again now. I just hope this time the illumination bar works.

---------- Post added at 03:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 AM ----------

update:

i have re installed go sms but still it doesnt work

i have uninstalled go sms again and restarted the phone, then re install go sms again, but still it doesnt work.

So i have uninstalled GO sms and installed Handcent sms this time, now it works! my problem seems to be with GO sms.

I find your app so useful that i have decided to just stick with handcent sms instead of GO sms.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I think I know what your problem might be.

GO has a setting to "intercept" incoming SMS so other apps don't see them. Normally this is useful to avoid double notifications from another installed sms app.

In Settings -> Receive Settings there is "Disable other message notification".

Make sure this is unchecked!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chochic10:
a couple of suggestions!

Hello rundgong, just wanna say thank you for taking time to develop this wonderful app!! Just a couple of suggestions though:

1. Please please do let us adjust the brightness of the strip because we dont want to turn the display all up just to get the strip light brighter in expense of battery drain.

2 the app is in conflict with lightflow app. I know it aint easy but we would really appreciate it if you could do some magic here.

3. please do make the blink even slower and also the fading time for a cooler effect

4. An option for the strip light to stay on while screen is on will be perfect (again, plus the strip brightness adjustment.)

5. Again, thank you thank you so much for this app!!!!!!! We need more developers like you!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gavster01:
thanks for the response, I have tried what you have suggested just to see if that caused the problem.

I installed the GO sms again and "Disabled other message notification" in the settings, and that seems to solve the problem of the illumination bar not working when i receive messages.

This is a useful tip for anyone having an Experia U + Go sms.

Thanks!

Hi Rundgong

with running this app on CM10 i've tried adding the libraries but when i add in "lights.semc.so" and reboot my screen brightness is maxed out and i don't have any led of illumination bar. obviously when FXP created the rom they didn't use the sony lib which is far enough and adding it caused issues with /data/lightservice.soc. what it looks like is used instead is "lights.msm8660.so" file here: http://goo.gl/QzVUs which loosk very similar to "lights.semc.so" i don't know if this helps you at all.

i tried copying lights.msm8660.so and renaming it to lights.semc.so encase you had stuff referencing that file but no dice.

it would be nice to get this app working on cm10.

there is an app out buttonLED http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1958939 which works, does just about the same as your app, far as i can tell with that one it just in real time edits the brightness file /sys/devices/i2c-3/3-0040/leds/button-backlight/brightness to make is flash.

hope this is useful to you or someone able to get this awesome app working on CM10

I think you have to edit a file in boot.img to start the lightservice while booting

Sent from my SXU.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] soorma:
So hey, you guys got it to work for the XU. Can you help me get it on for the Xperia S? Just point me in the right direction, I'm messing around with files right now
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
Blinking by setting the brightness in real time means you cant put the phone to sleep.

The Sony libs can do blinking even while the device is sleeping. That saves a lot of battery.

The zip I posted has a method of doing it without changing the boot.img. But it's via adb and not via recovery

look at the zip I posted. it has all the files needed and info on where they are. Look for the same files or similar on the XS.

Looking at logcat for errors can also be helpful.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] soorma:
Alright my man, I'll get on it!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dillby777:
i too have been trying to get this app working on the Xperia S.

I've tried the zip you posted even adding in the files from the rom and renaming them but still no dice. there aren't any errors showing when hitting the test button but if i change the file in /system/lib/hw for a file from a stock rom i get errors, before it was an issue with the /data/lightservice.soc no leds and bar with full screen brightness, now it just errors saying it can't open /sys/classes/leds/.. with no leds and bar. i think the file is looking in the wrong place, on my rom the brightness and power files for the leds and bar lives at /sys/devices/i2c-3/3-0040/leds/...

i also tried the flashable zips from myzar still no dice.

like i mentioned in another post my rom uses a file called lights.msm8660.so to manage the leds, th file contents are very similar to lights.semc.so and lights.st-ericsson.so.

any ideas?

EDIT: i was trawling through my logs and i came across this permission denial for com.sonyericsson.illumination.service

mean anything?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] soorma:
Yeah, this is way too complicated. Spent all of my off day on this :silly: I'm just going to go stock again haha
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
What do you mean with "adding in the files from the rom" ? The rom files are already there :)

For all the files in the zip you need to get the same file from stock. not from any other rom.

There should be links from /sys/class/leds/xxx to /sys/devices/i2c-3/3-0040/leds/xxx.

Otherwise there is something "wrong" with your file system.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Qadir64:
I LOVE his app because you can change the theme colour :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dillby777:
right now i'm following.

I've got the files from a stock rom and put them on the phone at boot i get the following error in the logs: i don't know it this would effect anything or not.

E/PackageManager(442): Package com.sonyericsson.illumination.service has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!

and once i install the app i get:

W/PackageManager(440): Unknown permission com.sonyericsson.illumination.permission.ILLUMINATION in package com.rundgong.illuminationcontrol

I've checked the com.sonyericsson.illumination.jar file and it had the "com.sonyericsson.illumination.permission.ILLUMINATION" permission in it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dillby777:
for pure ****s and giggles i redid it all again after working out the above errors were related to semcillumination.apk

things are looking better i traded the tow errors above for:

W/BroadcastQueue(440): Permission Denial: receiving Intent { act=android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED flg=0x10 } to com.sonyericsson.illumination.service requires android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED due to sender null (uid 1000)

but once i had the app back installed it worked, go figure.

here is a zip of all the files i used, its a modified copy of the one rundgong posted for the u.

down side of this is once you get a notification the led stays on till reboot.

I like this app very much bt when I grante the app for accessibility, some talkback feature auto starts (only when browsing)

Cud someone help me out this!!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jigga04:
If I look at my battery stats, this app is almost waking my device 2000 times per cycle (my battery usually lasts 1,5 days). Is it really absolutely necessary or am I doing something wrong? Is it because I'm not using the 'off hours' settings?

Don't get me wrong, I love this app, it's just that I'd like to know if it is working as planned.

My Xperia S is on pre-rooted .45 firmware, if that's important.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
This has happend to a few users before. Usually means something is wrong with your accessibility service

Did the behavior change after you upgraded your firmware? Then sony must have changed something. I'll have a look at that.

It depends a bit on settings and how many notifications you get during the day, but it does wake up quite frequently to do background work.

So I would guess it is working as expected

White LED

Is it possible to get white light on the LED bar using this app?

I want the white light to glow in a way like the blue color glows for the Sapphire theme.

I tried to set white as the theme color using different apps but the white light appears only for a few seconds and then it changes to light blue color.

(light blue color - the color that appears on the Silk theme).

Are you installing it through CWM or are you using my zip to install it with adb?

You can set any theme color you want. I have never had any problems like you describe

Then you have to use my zip and install it manually until someone creates a zip for CMW.

Also, there is no need for several people to spam the thread with posts saying it needs to be fixed.

mine does this as well. it appears to be an issue with the .so file the is loaded in /system/lib/hw the original Sony lib which handles the led notifications is different from the one that comes with the ROM so it causes and issue. i don't know if rundgong knows of a way around this, maybe a custom .so file that only effects the LED bar and not the LED notification light.
