That's also part of the problem. See, my phone is not what would you call "mainstream". It does not have a section here in XDA. We have made countless request (a Facebook community that owns this type of phone) here on XDA at the "Add a new device" thread, but it doesn't get added.

It's called "Thrill 430x" from CloudFone--a phone manufacturer based on the Philippines. The phone itself is a rebranded "Innos D9" from Innos, a phone manufacturer in China. It's specs are awesome with it's pricing. 190 USD for a Snapdragon S4 Dual Core CPU, Adreno 200 GPU, 8MP rear camera, 1.2MP front camera. Most of all, the battery is a whopping 4160mAh that lasts for 3 days, with average use.

Anyways, there hasn't been any forums that talks about the phone at large. I was looking for ways to manipulate the leds in some way, and that's how I came across your thread.
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
From the FAQ:

Well, that's a shame. I frankly have no idea what's the cause of your issue. I suppose you can try asking on general forums, good luck. :)
[Android Apps and Games] EpicEddy:
Thanks a lot! The notification LED on the HTC One S is barely visible so this is great :)
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Update :)

v1.6 (05/05/13):

You can now ignore apps as well.

The battery tweak can be disabled on devices where ButtonLED was flashing the LEDs once or twice before sleeping forever.

You can long press log items to view the full text, for items that didn't fit.

Proximity sensor feature is now disabled (it wasn't working anyway due to a Tasker limitation) (the UI option is still listed as "FEATURE DISABLED"). This should have a minor but positive impact on performance/battery.

Minor UI changes.

Other minor changes.

[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Can you try again please? There was a slight permission error (got a logcat from someone else), fixed it and reuploaded.

As for the kernel panic, it's probably an issue with your kernel. No app should be able to do that normally (and even tho this is a root app, the only root command it uses is to echo 0 & 255 to a system file - your brightness file).

Can you get a logcat? Here's a tutorial if you don't know how already.

BTW, which version are you using (MDPI/HDPI/XDHPI)? I think you're using the MDPI version, in which case you can use the HDPI APK so the UI fits your screen.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] ScoobSTi:
I've been trying to get this to work for about 3 days now. I can not for the life of me figure out where the brightness file is.

I've tried auto-locate, which gave me two locations. Both of those didn't work. Then I tried everything in "/sys/class/leds" but those just control my phone's screen. The screen flickers on and off and in one case the screen wouldn't turn back on, yet the led buttons would still work (haptic feedback proved this). I had to pull the battery out of my phone and turn it back on.

I have a Galaxy Exhibit 4G (if it helps), which isn't popular enough to have its own Google results for this sort of thing.

Status Bar / Proximity Feature

i prefere German / Deutsch, but thats an english forum so i'll do my best :)

English

:

hey, i can't search this thread only, so i have to ask. (but first of all: THANKS for this great uncomplicated App ^^)

what is the ButtonLED icon in the staturs bar for? also the text in notifications is useless for me and takes a lot of space :( (see the attatchments for picture examples) there is no other text or something at it.

is there a way to deactivate this?

and do you know if the Proximity Feature will come back? i know it from NoLED and it is great when the phone doesn't flash in my bag :)

PS: i've got a Samsung Galaxy Ace2-P (NFC) with stock Android 4.1.2 (FW: XXME1) and root

Deutsch

:

hey, ich kann leider den Thread nicht durchsuchen, deswegen muss ich fragen (aber zuerst: vielen DANK für die klasse und unkomplizierte App^^)

wofür ist das ButtonLED Icon in der Status Bar? auch in den Benachrichtigungen (wenn man die Leiste runterzieht) brauch ich es nicht wirklich und nimmt mir viel Platz weg :( (siehe Bilder im Anhang) da ist kein Text sonstweiter dabei.

gibts ne Möglichkeit das zu deaktivieren?

und gibts ne Möglichkeit das Näherungs Feature wieder zum laufen zu bekommen / bzw kommt es wieder irgendwann? kenne es von NoLED und is schon cool wenn das Handy nicht blinkt wenns in der Tasche ist :)

[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Hey,

Just to make it clear before beginning: I'm not German, and I don't speak Deutsch. Germain is a name. I'm therefore replying only in English. :D

The status icon is there to (hopefully) prevent Android from killing the app if it's low on memory. You can disable it and check if it still works fine. To disable it, tap 'Permanent Notification' then tap the 'X' button.

For the proximity sensor, it's out of my hand. I didn't actually code the app in Java, and I'm relying on Tasker's features - the proximity sensor is always disabled when the screen is off, for exported apps. Sorry. :)
[Android Apps and Games] nix-gibtz:
hehe, thats okay :) i already read your home country from your profile details. i thought maybe someone here would answer in German :)

thanks for the qick anser!

ah okay, i'll test it and hope the best :) it's important to prevent Android from killing the app, but for me it takes a bit too much space ^^

maybe there is a way with tools like TitaniumBackup to grant the ButtonLED App more priority? but i'm not familiar enough to know if this could work.

ah okay. i think the proximity feature works on NoLED only because it uses the screen instead of the had-buttons :(

i hope the hard-buttons with ButtonLED wouldn't exhaust the akku so much like NoLEDs does with the Screen :good:

I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. Are you using kernel with BLN support?

Good to know, thanks for the feedback :)
[Android Apps and Games] Darktrooper:
No, my Kernel has no BLN Support. I use the Philz Kernel.

I search at this Forum, but i have no other Users found that use it on Galxy Note n7000

[Android Apps and Games] kewkie:
Thanks GermainZ!

Top app! Dont know about the battery usage, but for me it's okay-ish. (just can guess, so i guess it takes around 2-4% more so i dont really care).

But sometimes it just blinks once and sometimes it blinks 3-4 times - dont know maybe a small setting issue by myself ^_^

All in all helpfull app if you dont have an LED (like me, using this app on an s5830i)

You don't need a kernel with BLN support as per OP "You do NOT need a kernel with BLN support to use this app. In fact, I made this because my device has no BLN kernels"

Hmmm..through this app, I can actually get control over the backlight. Test runs properly, but could not get it working for notifications. If I manually choose brightness file (the one marked in below screenshot), test also fails. So, just thinking there should be some other file which is the actual file for controlling backlight :confused: Not sure, if I can find the actual path if I decompile the apk.

[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
The screenshot shows 1.20.2, you would've probably installed 1.21.x.

You can delete the one in /system/sbin if that doesn't work, as long as you're sure busybox installed correctly to /system/xbin.

i have installed that also but the same result

i have installed busybox from link in FAQ

[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
No idea what your busybox's problem is, then.

Try this:

Disable ButtonLED in Accessibility

Kill ButtonLED (from Android's Running Services) (Also kill it in Cached Apps if it appears there)

Edit /data/data/germain.buttonled/shared_prefs/net.dinglisch.android.tasker.varry.xml

Modify this line to include your string instead:

<string name="%PATH"></string>

For example:

<string name="%PATH">/sys/devices/platform/bcm21553-leds/leds/button-backlight/brightness</string>

If the line isn't there at all, add it yourself. Make sure not to make any typos. It's case sensitive, too.

Start ButtonLED again, check if it works.

Enable ButtonLED in Accessibility again.

[Android Apps and Games] vlorience:
I have turn on log, and then I receive a cubie notification. but there is no log about my cubie notifcation :(
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
ButtonLED processes all notifications by default. If the notification isn't reported by Android for some reason (e.g. Some permanent notifications aren't), there's nothing I can do.

Nothing happens when you press the file you want? Try restarting your device (or killing the app). If that doesn't work, try what I said a few posts ago about manually editing the settings file.

If you can provide a logcat that'd be great. Thanks.

Uses your capacitive buttons (e.g. Menu/Back keys) as LEDs to notify you about notifications.

Read the OP again for more info.

Not working

Hi i have installed the HDPI_JB version on my device. The auto locate works and i selected the file, and when i test it works OK. But it doesn't work when i get a message or call. I checked the log and it says (detected; app:messaging) , screen is ON ignoring notification. I haven't added anything to the exception list, so what am i doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
When you get a missed call/unread text, ButtonLED won't do anything until your screen turns back off.

Then, once it turns off, it'll flash your LEDs if you didn't read the text/view the call.

But the LEDs are not flashing even after the screen turns off. I have also increased the LED on duration to 60sec, but it hasn't helped :crying:

autolocate and file browser not working

hi GermainZ and thank you for that amazing app! I searched for long something like that and finally i find it!

Unfortunately :( i have a problem. On my Star B94M/B943 (android 4.2.1) i can't get to work auto locate or file browser (ie: i tap on these but nothing happens even after installing busybox). I also found (manually) the brightness file (and using echo 0 (or 255) > /path/i/don't/remember/:)/brightness from terminal i can switch backlight on and off). I just need a place to insert this path!!

I also tried to modify the shared_prefs/net.dinglisch.android.tasker.varry.xml (which seems to contain all variables), but i had no luck. Could you please help me?

Probably i only need these configurations files (and i can manually check and modify them).

Thank you so much!!

EDIT: i just realized that may be net.dinglisch.android.tasker.varry.xml isn't the correct file to modify (it looks like a file created by the buttonled services). help :)
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
That's strange. 'which' should come with busybox if it's not there already. Check it installed correctly, and maybe try a different version (e.g. try using the one from the V6 Supercharger thread, let me know if you need a direct link).

Modifying the xml file didn't work? Did you make sure to stop ButtonLED (from Running Services, then again from Running Services > Cached Apps)?
[Android Apps and Games] moby90:
If you provide me the link i try to install it manually :)
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Here, try this (see bottom attachments, either download the CWM flashable zip or one of the installer).
[Android Apps and Games] papix8:
thank you for the answer. No, it didn't work. The problem is that i assumed that i need to change this line:

it was only a try. I tried both these:

and

but no luck. When i open buttonled it always tell me "auto locate" "buttonled will try to locate the hardware.....". When i tap just nothing happens. (the same when i touch the auto locate or file browser).

Could you please provide a zipped copy of /data/data/germain.buttonled files? I'll try to figure out where the path should be inserted. I also tried to download the tasker version (but the file doesn't exist anymore). I'm just becoming crazy :D
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Sorry, didn't notice the link was dead. I updated the OP, here's the link:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4cmiu9q7g4hk900/IUw3GUcHWD

BTW, %DIR_PATH is different. You need %PATH.
[Android Apps and Games] papix8:
thank you. changing %PATH when i start buttonLED don't show me anymore the Auto locate message, bit still not working. what else might ne wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Does the test button do anything?
[Android Apps and Games] papix8:
no, it just tell me that if i didn't see anything probably the brightness file should be choosen by file browser :/

it's a pity because i know that my phone supports turning on and off the backlight of softkeys (i tried by terminal).

Here is the file:

(i added manually the %PATH line, because it didn't exist in the file created automatically by buttonLED. After adding this line when i open buttonLED it don't tell me anymore to auto locate the brightness file (this means that the %PATH variable is recognized, but still nothing works)).

I also know from another forum that the program run without problems on my phone (star b94m/b943) BUT with android 4.1.2 (i have 4.2.1).

Can i do something else in order to clarify where is the problem? I also tried to enable log but it shows nothing :/

thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
That looks correct. Make sure ButtonLED is granted superuser access.

Other than that, I'd appreciate a logcat. Thanks. :)
[Android Apps and Games] papix8:
sure, i attached the logcat log (from terminal i executed logcat > log.txt. Then i tried to execute buttonLED and (as usual) nothing happend. Then i closed logcat (ctrl+c)).

but......wait a moment!!!! I just took seriously this statement:

my phone was rooted but i didn't installed superuser (so, for example, from terminal when i type "su" i don't get any notification for this and i become root just like that). So i tried to install superuser. It seems it doesn't work properly (from terminal i still don't get any notification for "su" command). Anyway i tried again buttonled. Nothing seemed to happen, but some minutes later i got the list for choosing the brightness file!!

I'm sorry for all this :( anyway now we know that superuser is absolutely needed (i don't know why but the root for itself it's not enough). Later i'll try to uninstall super user (and i'll report back if the problem is still there or if super user is needed only in setting up the app).

Thank you for your kindness and patience!!!

EDIT: i just tried uninstalling super user. Doing this doesn't unroot the phone, but makes buttonLED stop working. So (for some strange reason) super user is absolutely needed (even if it doesn't work properly (on my phone it just does nothing ;) BTW i'll be happy to keep it just for you fantastic buttonLED)). Thank you so much!
