Added! Thanks!

Apps added!

I was thinking of adding this option, but it needs some work. Either case it would be an option and not the default behavior. So if you have this off nothing will be running on background. But overall I really try to keep this app simple, without a thousand settings everywhere, so no promise.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] jakuburban:
I think we could use that too.

Maybe it could only vibrate and make some sound, but we could decide whether the led should blink or not also.

[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
So any problems with the latest BETA? I have added apps you asked for... Are we ready for play store?
[Android Apps and Games] jakuburban:
Hmm, still can't see the messengers :(

I'm running ICS ROM.

And I'm also patiently waiting for reminder mode.
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
New version just submitted to play store. You will receive the update shortly.

Changelog v2.3

+ removed flash when screen off option

+ added flash when phone locked option

+ fixed a possible bug a flash on call

+ added some more catch blocks

+ added support for Imo messenger, I'm+, Line messenger, kik messanger.

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] jakuburban:
Nope, still didn't work :(
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
If you can't see them, then you don't have v2.3... It takes some time for the play store to refresh... be patient my friend and the update will come in a while...

Cheers

EDIT: v2.3.1 will be available at play store soon. I have disabled logs to improve performance!
[Android Apps and Games] shady5683:
Thanks!! works perfectly!
[Android Apps and Games] imdaman99:
If I could request a few apps to be supported, they are :

Bbm

Groove IP

Google voice

Thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] jakuburban:
Yeah, You're right :)

I was too fast.

Great app. Using it and loving it.
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Maybe it could be handy to see the app version also in 'about menu'?

So it is easy to see wich version is currently running...
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Done!

Done!

I am now testing a "not enable flash if battery low" option...

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] jakuburban:
Could You add an option, that would let us to turn off the notification when the phone is laying on it's back (on a table)? You might also think about pocket mode later :)

Sent from note, a phone like never before :D
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Good idea! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
New beta version. I added the option to not flash when the battery is low, but I need help testing it. I also made some adjustments to the code which handles the flash. Please report if you find anything

v 2.4-Beta:

+ new apps supported (Bbm, Groove IP, Google voice).

+ added startPreview() at Flash.

+ added option not to flash when battery is off.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
What's the battery level for no flash for the new feature?
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Low battery is after you get the "low bat" notification on your phone and I think battery over 20 percent is okay.

In addition, if you go to "about" section of CallFlash you will see that the bottom text is either green or red.

When it is green it means that Callflash "sees" the battery as okay. If it is red this means that Callflash detected the "low bat" notification. It is only for testing purposes, and to make my and your life easier. A few tests run okay but you might detect some problems.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Ok, it's using system values. Very elegant. Also nice Easter Egg for colours in 'About' ;)
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Thanks ;)

In addition, monitoring battery this way consumes no ram and nothing is running in the background to affect your battery :highfive:

Lets see the cons then...

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Great, unfortunately, my Battery status is 98 % ...
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
New beta version at the first post. I think low battery option works as it should now. When your system gives you a low battery alert, the flash won't open until you charge it over a threshold (in my phone that is 20%). If you close the phone after you get the low battery system alert, charge it, and open it when battery is over that threshold, CallFlash is not able to detect the new (good) state of the battery. That is why I added the boot receiver which set the low battery flag as ok, re-enabling the flash notification!

This is the best and battery/RAM friendliest solution I've found. Nothing is running on the background or consuming any more RAM.

v2.4.1-BETA:

+ fixed low battery option

+ added boot receiver to set the low battery variable to false.

+ several fixes...

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] jakuburban:
It's me again :)

As I further mentioned, I would like to see the pocket mode.

Also it shouldn't notify us when the phone it's laying on it's back (there's no use then).

And the most important. Could You add something like notification limit, so for example one app gives one (flash) notification every (let's say) 30 seconds. What I mean, that it is blinking without end when somebody's messaging me via imo, so some delay would be useful.
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
First of all thanks for the suggestions and support :laugh:

Now more specifically...

Small priority for me because flash light goes through pocket and that helps me a lot since I don't sense vibration most of the times. In addition as far as I know it would be some battery consuming which is something I would like to avoid at this moment.

The same stand more or less for this. I think that going through this philosophy would bring more cons (background service->RAM/Battery/Wakelocks) than pros.

This is a good idea and doesn't seem to cause any problems. It would probably be an option rather than the default operation, since it can cause confusion. :eek:

I am now searching for a way to enable the flash every x seconds if there is a pending notification, and I think I found a great way in terms of battery and RAM using Android Alarms.

By the way, any news with battery option? Is it working ok for you with 2.4.1-BETA?

Thank you again and take care.

Cheers :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] jakuburban:
Yeah, maybe it would consume the batter but I think it would still use less battery than a blinking LED.

The battery isn't so important to me, so You could include those settings as optional (not as default enabled).

The battery life looks good until now. Your app even doesn't show up on the list: https://app.box.com/s/f8ovznjuv2but56yqw9e

New version is up on play store...

[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Thx for the update. :good:

Found some small glitches:

- In 'About': Text 'version 2.4.3' should be a capital 'V' for Version

- 'Off on low battery' : Setting is not translated for German. Still in English. Checked translation website and I've don my job ;)

Have you missed to use the latest translations?
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Oops, forgot the translations... I will do it shortly!

Thanks

v3.0

+ UI Improvements for devices with smaller screens

+ fixed a small bug in first time settings

+ improved some strings

+ Updated translations

I have found a major problem with Samsung devices and TalkBack. I updated the OP with the following:

***
If your phone starts talking after enabling the "Notification Service" this is a Samsung-Talkback issue:

Unfortunately there isn't much I can do for that. There are many solutions out there. Choose what works for you.

[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
There is one feature I what to re-add for sure, stop flash with volume buttons, but Samsung devices make my life difficult. I am still working on it!
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Yes, and if it's not Samsung, then another device. :D

Btw, in Play store for German users the app description shows ' Initial version ' or something similar the last versions ...
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Ooops... Fixed it. It was supposed to be the English "What's new" text. It will take some time to refresh on Play Store though.
[Android Apps and Games] popouser:
So what is the problem with volume button disable? It was working fine here at the past...

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Well, as I said earlier Samsung devices had the problem, because of a touchwiz' "feature". In case you haven't notice, when a samsung device starts ringing, it rings at the lowest volume for one second, and then it raises to the user's preference volume. This means two volume change events. One to lower the volume to 1, and the other to raise it back to user's preference. These events are the same that occur when a user presses the volume buttons, so Callflash was turning the flash off immediately.:rolleyes::silly:

It was a nasty bug, and adding the almost none ways Android offers to capture volume button presses, I ended up with the less confusing way. I set a counter which sums the "volume change events" and If it reaches three, then it stops the flash. So if you have a Samsung device you may need to press a volume button only once, but if you are on any other device you may need to press it three times.:cowboy:

I thought of adding an option to change the three presses to one, but I think it will confuse the users more. I have seen enough of them at play store complaining about anything... for example:

I have an S3 mini, and the app works great, as long as you choose the alternative flash driver... :eek:

Anyway, thanks for asking and take care.:highfive:

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:

I installed android 4.3 ROM on this phone but it seems that it is not rooted anymore!

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to root. I clicked on the link in the AOSP thread, but my phone says it cannot open the CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP. Do I need a special app to open it?

Can I root it the same way I rooted my phone when it was on 4.12 or 4.22?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
For root with AOSP you need to flash SuperSu zip in recovery. For CM 10.2 you have to enable develiper options then select root for apps and ADB.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jmcatch:
Thanks that clears a lot up. But I'm having trouble getting back to recovery. If I hold the volume buttons down I get this screen basically, but without the android guy https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/...VnEj5TCCm2wPaOV1fHZQa85RAmp-imzhEYbA26zTot177

If I press volume up or down it doesn't change out of fastboot. Am I missing something? I had TWRP installed and used it to flash my other ROMS but I'm having difficulty getting to it because I used to just be able to reboot directly into recovery using one of my root apps.

EDIT: Got it, just took some tinkering on the reboot. Thanks for your help!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
On stock bootloader the banner across the top that says start in the picture you posted will not be there. For reference vloume up and power to get to fastboot screen then either volume up twice then power, or volume down twice then power will take you to recovery.

Try holding the proximity sensor directly under a bright light. Just being in a lit room isn't always enough. Hold volume down and power till the home and back start flashing. Do not let go until the phone is off. Now let go. Hold both buttons again until you see the bootloader.

Boot into recovery.

Download a ROM on pc.

Put ROM in adb/fastboot folder.

Connect phone to PC.

Open a command prompt in the folder ( hold shift and right click - open command prompt here).

"adb devices"

It should list your phone.

"adb push your-rom-here.zip /sdcard/"

It'll look like its not doing anything for a while, be patient it can take some time.

When it's done, us twrp to flash the ROM like normal.

Then you enter it and mount the sdcard (mounts and storage-mount as mass storage)

Then copy the boot.img from the nandroid backup folder to the fastboot folder on the pc and flash it with fastboot commands

Then make a full wipe in recovery

Wipe cache paritition
