The stock rom already does this. One of the few stock features I miss not having.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Hi there,

Can you share how to access the trackball light? I mean coding :)

Thanks,

¬D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] konstantinosmis:
thanks!!! Vey good...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snudel:
but not very good. It blinks only some minutes.

I would love constant blinking until i switch on the phone.

but still. the breathing rocks.

maybe add comment to exclude it from task killer :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] moskuito:
Yes please, that would be awesome! I've been searching for so long for such type of notification...

I'm really not interested in the "breath" thing actually, so maybe you could implement a sort of option where you can choose if you want breath or notifications.... :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
I think an option to adjust the timing interval in which the device "breathes" would be ideal. That could really expand the functionality of this feature. :D

Keep it simple; but hopefully an "ON & OFF" option will appear in a future build as well.

Great work kenwudi.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rydr1:
the improvements and options are going to be cool on this app.

I installed it so I can know that my phone is still alive:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pack:
nice work, i think the additions and access are going to be the best part
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rizoh66:
Right on Kenwudi! I have been looking for this and actually wondering why someone hasn't put an app on the market yet. I will be paying very close attention to this thread for an update for notifications and missed called.

Btw, I don't know if this is possible, but is the dream/mt3g track ball capable of displaying different colors? This would make you some cash on the market if you could figure this out for different notifications.

Good work sir!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bonesy:
Just an idea but can you add a part that lets you choose the time it flashes and between im milliseconds (ms) im trying to think of an app as an example
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snudel:
Somehow it stops breathing after some time
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
I hosted that link via my Twitter feed...and the demand was insane! I had nearly 80 requests within my direct messages inbox. :D

This application is promising...very much so indeed.

Again, adding the simplest features such as a toggle for ON & OFF and timing intervals for "pulsing patterns" would make this an instant classic. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bonesy:
I have the same problem, my phone does breathe but not as much as it would IF it was alive lol once every 15 seconds or so if im lucky!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iPhone iWing:
i measured the pulse. its a 20 second interval. when you first power the screen it breathes and when you put the screen to sleep it breathes. so idk. no xml editor works for me to look at the coding?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kenwudi:
update to v1.1.

tests and requests are warmly welcomed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
the update works fine. thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KingJaffe:
pretty nice. are you working on using it as a missed notification reminder? and can trackball display diff colors?

edit: how do i install this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
not sure if this was on purpose or if it is a bug. the pulse light pulses while screen is on. is it possible to have an option to pulse ONLY when screen is off?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Agreed. That would be a worthy option to include in the next update! :D

The trackball will "pulse" while the device screen is ON or active. If there is a way to "sort out" or have the application recognize the difference in system settings between "sleep state" and "awake"... definitely try and make it happen!

Thanks. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sgi.ono:
For installing this, it require "Storage - modify/delete SD card contents"? Why does it need this permission for?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kenwudi:
yes, i`m still work on the reminder.

G2,G3 trackball only have the white, no other colors.

download then unzip, you`ll see a Pulselight-vx.x.apk file,

excute command below in the CMD window.

adb install Pulselight-vx.x.apk
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kenwudi:
how do you install the soft? download, then unzip, just install the .apk,

this soft never touch SD card, and never need this kind of permission.

please post more details.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kenwudi:
you can call it a bug, but it only appear at the first time when you start to pulse. i`ll check and fix it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snudel:
any experiences with the battery consumption?

i've not set this one to 5secs. let's see
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Phil_McRevis:
why

why is this in the development section instead of the app section?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bonesy:
i have set it to one second, not noticed any obvious battery drain
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KingJaffe:
hey when i unzip i dont see an apk file. im using a mac
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bonesy:
Add extention .apk at the end of the folder name? i dont know mac im just throwing stones to see if i hit something
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KingJaffe:
thanx but no luck
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kenwudi:
i`m a source code researcher, and develop ROM for myself. i see some breathe light requests posted here, means somebody like it, and need it, so i made a soft then post here.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] allnama:
thans for sharing, but i have a question, does it work on hero?

'cause after installation and congfiguration,it still not work on my hero....

if someone's hero can breath...please let me know....thanks~~~
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sim-value:
ARGH !

If you have a MAC you also should have a Glimpse of how it works !

You see the Folder Pulselight1.1 Open it and in there is the APK ... -.-

Anyway .. does this require Root ?

Because for me its not working on 32A magic!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rydr1:
kenwudi, this is really good work.

I know that some people want the light to stop breathing with the screen on, but I would like to know if you would be able to make an option for this instead because I would like the light to breath at all times.

Thanks for sharing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KingJaffe:
ARGH! nothing. if u saw my pix did u see the apk file there? if so point it out to me pls

edit: this is whats in the folder
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Beast84:
Don't unzip it. Rename from .zip to .apk
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KingJaffe:
thanx for the info
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drowndolphin:
good work! i'll try..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snudel:
@ kenwudi:

any updates planned?

the breathing is kind of unpredictable. It stops working after a while and resumes after a call for example.

Sometimes the interval setting is also ignored.

I don't want fancy features for now ;) but just 24/7 breathing

thanks in advance

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
I asked you by PM if you could share the pulsing code. Since you didn't and I actually needed it, I eventually figured it out.

public void pulse() {

NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

Notification not = new Notification();

not.flags |= Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS;

notificationManager.notify(R.layout.main, not);

}

BTW, in case you are struggling on getting a background service to run every X minutes, send me a PM and I MIGHT help you.

PS: This community benefits from each others knowledge.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgear356:
is it possible to add in this code to roms which trackball are not glowing when there is miss calls?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] surfwaimea:

NotifyLight v2.0 beta released.

Enjoy!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TheMorpheus:
Thanks, works great in my 32A with Cyanogen 4.2.9.1 ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dimchris:
it would be good to stop pulsing since the notification is cleared. Great work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Hey, this is probably one of the best Magic app out there that fully beautify the trackball from other google devices!!!

however one BUG though:

-I got force close on setting "repeat times" to "forever" on sms/mms/mc notifications

fyi:

-cyanogen donut 4.2.9.1

appreciate if there's a quick fix for this one, otherwise an magnificient app indeed!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] brandnewsimmy:
Just found this app and yes, it is amazing! However I have the same issue on the same ROM... Also an option to make it 'breath' on sms/mms/email etc would be awesome too. I like the subtle-ness of it! Keep up the good work.:D

Also I am having a hard time to keep it working... I am using Handcent SMS so should I turn off the trackball lighting option within that app? I can't figure it out. Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
any update for the repeat times="forever" force close issue? :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snudel:
this version has some more options. however. i dont get no email/sms notification anymore...

and it still stops flashing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kenwudi:
i fixed this, please check.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kenwudi:
the light will not work while email come in. not supported yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] archboy69:
Been actually looking for something like this! Wondered why it wasn't on the market yet. Thanks for the release. Keep up the great work. Plusing for missed msm, email, etc would make this pretty cool.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wingsta:
Thx for this nice app !

1 Question, whats the best way to update this app? i allready got 2.0 installed. do i uninstall this version and then install 2.01 or can i just overwrite the old one ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sultan-mrm:
nice app and fun ,

and can you do it as "hdd LED"

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] antonis9891:
Thanks for this app. It's very useful.

But, I noticed that when there is a notification, it doesn't flash when the screen is off, it flashes with "style A" or "style B" only if I unlock the phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] PDXer:
Why does it have a delay in notify of ca. 5s starting from the moment a message has arrived?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] surfwaimea:
Any update planned to solve this problem?

Ty
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] setzer715:
Same thing here, would be nice if it worked with the screen off, its kinda the point. Otherwise, great app!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stillriza:
Just installed it. It's pretty cool. Issue is the timing is way off. If i set the interval to 3s or 5s...it still takes about 10-13s before it pulses. Always random timing.

Obviously the app is still buggy but its a pretty neat idea.

Keep up the great work. I look fwd to the updates.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dextroz:
Man, this app has phenomenal potential... please - let's just get the kinks worked out :cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] konstantinosmis:
Hi! Could you make an update to support xRom with Android 2.1? Or maybe you could make a new app which could enable blinking on the leds near the speaker of my magic with the color i want every time (red, blue, orange, etc?) Maybe an app with both trackball and leds configuration...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] myAL:
:)Thanks for the release!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] surfwaimea:
+1

What should be added to ROMs to let trackball glows as notification?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jdyates:
@kenwudi: I freaking love this app. Breathing light is awesome.

(btw, i KNOW this is an old thread).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nattiii:
Hm, it does not seem to work on the 32B, with T-mobile Froyo.

Althrough, this could simply be a Froyo problem, since the trackball light has not been working properly since Eclair.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] marcimix:
Yeay I agree +1
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] surfwaimea:
I'm not sure but in Sense rom and/or Legend rom trackball does its job!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] charleslkf:
Thank you very much. I search it to fix my trackball. Thanks again =]
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nooty90:
thank you, i m looking for this app.. good job :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Telmo78:
Good Job, Thank's for this... work very well ^^
[Imagio General] allah snackbar:

Try to follow the correct flashing procedure: disable the USB connection in connections setting on your AS, remove all cards, put your JasJar in a bootloader and re-flash.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] wovens:
How do you know the battery is fully charged if Jasjar shows no charge? Have you got an external charger? I read somewhere that if the battery goes very low you have to charge it with a wall charger instead of USB.

I've also read that if you remove the battery, press the reset hole for some 10 seconds and while still pressing it, re-insert the battery and let go of the reset hole it will restart normally.

Did you drop the Jasjar? Did it come in contact with water, coffee, tea, vapour, toilet?

Are you careful or clumsy when inserting USB lead? You may have damaged the USB port in Jasjar.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joecruz:
I'm not sure if this relates to your app but I have a small question:

If a dumped a rom (raw, not kitchen type) and removed several apps/programs but did not clean the registry (very tedious), will this help me clean it up (remove dead paths, etc)?

And if so, how will it know just by dragging the .hv file? I mean how will your app know if a registry entry does not have the app/program included in the rom anymore?

Please forgive me if my question does not relate to your app
[Windows Mobile Software Development] selyb:
There is no way for my app to know, it isnt that smart :p

It would take an extensive app/database to know which keys are related to which apps.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nokser:
Thanks for this post ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] selyb:
updated to v1.1

v1.02 had a bug in the code which removed hash data from output which made it mix data from the key before it with the key after it

If I ever get around to updating again, I will use hvedit instead of rgucomp
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Diagrafeas:
I get an error.

Script: D:\RGUber.vbs

Line: 136

Char: 2

Error: File not found

Code: 800A0035

Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error

Any reason why?

I attach the file i want to sort alphabetically.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] selyb:
I have no idea :confused:

It worked for me with no problem (file attached)

Please tell me the location of RGUber.vbs and of 51329f91-0017-4364-bcff-e032c5d45b01.rgu
[Windows Mobile Software Development] c_shekhar:
Great application bro!!

Only limitation is that I have to put reg400.dll and rgucomp in C:\windows
[Windows Mobile Software Development] selyb:
yeah, I tried to get around that but I didn't find anything feasible with vbscript :-/

Actually, they don't have to go in C:\windows

I reinstall windows regularly so I keep as many apps portable as I can. I have a bin folder on another partition that I add to the system path variable after a new install for stuff like this.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] c_shekhar:
can you elaborate this a bit more. Because I too would like a similar arranfements...:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] selyb:
My C:\ partition has Vista64

My F:\ partition has all my documents, downloads, music, movies, etc and a folder F:\bin\

F:\bin contains >100 downloaded command line programs and vbs scripts that I have written including

RGUber.vbs

lame.exe

rgucomp.exe

cereg400.dll

FixVTS.exe

faad.exe

nuerecmod.exe

Tag.exe

find Advanced System Properties (I can't remember how, it's different for XP/Vista/7) go to the Advanced tab and hit the Environment Variables button

Under system variables, scroll down to 'Path', double click it. This defines your 'system path'. It contains a list of folders separated by semicolon ";". At the end, add a semicolon and the path to the folder you want to add (e.g. ;F:\bin) after that, hit ok. XP may need to reboot to reflect the change but I'm not sure. Vista and 7 are affected immediately.

With this setup, you can open a command prompt in any folder on your computer and type "RGUber.vbs xyz.rgu" and it would work as if all the files are in that folder.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] c_shekhar:
Thanks a lot bro!!!

I am grateful...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Quetzecotyl:
I'd really like to use this, but unfortunately I get this error regardless of the app.reg I drag onto the script:

Code: 80070003

Thanks if you can advise.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] selyb:
Hmmm... this line asks the system for what is in the %temp% variable and attempts to change the working directory to the result.

Open RGUber.vbs in notepad and go to line 232

Modify

WSH.CurrentDirectory = WSH.Environment("SYSTEM")("temp")

to

WSH.CurrentDirectory = "C:\RGUber\"

then try again
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Quetzecotyl:
Works great after your fix, selyb. Thank you for this useful app and your many helpful contributions to the Kaiser forums.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] selyb:
Yeah, I may relocate from Kaiser forums to Rhodium. I have an AT&T Tilt 2 in the mail to me ATM :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Quetzecotyl:
Grats on getting a Rhodium. Found a question after using it for a while. This is just one example of such behavior, but why does:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ExclusiveList\System]
"CMBandSwitching.exe"=dword:0

get turned into:

"CMBandSwitching.exe"=dword:0

How do I make it regard CURRENT_USER keys?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] selyb:
I had this problem with an earlier version. If you are using v1.1 then please attach the original rgu/reg. I have tried and I can't seem to reproduce it since I fixed it already.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tomcug:
Please, replace rgucomp with hvedit :). I really need your help because rgucomp doesn't work for me :(. Thanks in advance :).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] selyb:
why doesn't rgucomp work? I would be surprised to learn that hvedit will work when rgucomp won't.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tomcug:
I don't know why it doesn't work, I've wasted lots of time looking for answer, maybe you can help me. Rgucomp gives me "Can't open hive file" errors :(.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] selyb:
where did you put cereg400.dll?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tomcug:
I don't have much time today, I'll check it out tomorrow, but I think that I put cereg400.dll in Windows folder. Anyway, thanks for help :).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] selyb:
for rgucomp.exe to successfully convert a hv to rgu, these conditions must be met

must have a variable named "_FLATRELEASEDIR" (usually set to ".")

cereg400.dll must be located in same folder as rgucomp.exe or located in your system path

use command line param -o [path to registry hive]

to convert rgu to hv you must also have boot.rgu in the current directory and use only the command line option -b
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Quetzecotyl:
What I'd really like is for the script to simply organize alphabetically so I can decide what stays/goes (separating the keys would be a bonus).

I know you released a dissected Ext/OEM set yourself (thanks for that, you obviously worked hard on it and its provided some good comparisons to my own minimal setup), but mine's a little different and I wanted to do my own analysis of the RGU in the Tilt's 3.57 ROM OEMDrivers folder. I uploaded that here: http://pastebin.com/f4009ce2d; if you have time to run this through your script, I'd much appreciate it.

Sorry for getting back to you so late.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] selyb:
It would take me a few days or a week to redesign the sorting algorithm to handle duplicate key entries and 'delete key' entries, but I can do it. The reason I decided to run it though rgucomp first is to take the guesswork out of the data. Oh yeah, another thing I have to consider is multiple line values... Anyway, I'm sure I can do it but it wouldn't be today or tomorrow :p
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Quetzecotyl:
Actually, its not a big deal--your script already handles duplicates with what appears to be great accuracy; I just wanted to compare to a file that is only alphabetically sorted to see what was taken out.

When I use your script, it works fine, but it seems to omit the first resorted registry key (not a big deal). I just wanted to make sure that beside that, it is working correctly, so I posted the .rgu on pastebin above.

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] selyb:
That is exactly the point I was making. The script doesn't handle duplicates, rgucomp does it. When fed a .rgu, RGUber has rgucomp create a hv from it then has rgucomp convert it back to rgu. That took all the guesswork out of the examples I posted above.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tomcug:
Hi, thanks for you help and great software :). Anyway, could you tell me why RGUBer gives me error with file attached? Thanks in advance, Tom :).
