I really prefer the new app drawer. Different tastes I guess.

I understand liking it, my complaint is its jarring to the user experience, all other home screen activities are swipe, side swipe, swipe down now no more swipe up.
[Nexus One General] aron7awol:
The one thing I'm definitely missing is the green hardware button that got me directly to my call log. From there, it was easy enough to get to the contacts list, favorites, or dialer. You could also long press the button for a quick way to voice dial without having to even look at the phone at all. Does anyone know of a similar shortcut on the N1?
[Nexus One General] :
is it just my phone or all of them but my button only pushes in on the inside of the phone not on the whole length of button
[Nexus One General] zendick:
Holy crap you're right thats part of my problem i just noticed it, thats one of the main things causing me to find it awkward to hold and click.

Also clicking it to lock was not working for me at all, suddenly it is now, how weird.
[Nexus One General] shahid khan:
hello, any body have any information about software which is helpful to write urdu for pda like inpage urdu software for windows.

thanx.
[Nexus One General] joeavery2:
I agree, the top button then swipe is a pain. I love the G1 double menu tap. I was thinking the same with double trackball tap to turn on and long press search for screen off. The slide unlock is pointless to me as well, it might as well as ask me to stand on my head first too.

other complaints I have is the indicator LED is too slow, I need it to flash every second not every minute.

Also whats with the usb cable... Wish HTC would stick to standards.... Finally get a headphone jack but now I have to carry a special cable around to use my phone as a mass storage.

Mine is not playing WMA/V's either but I figure that is a matter of time.

Otherwise it has been great so far. I've only ran into a glitch or two and I'm sure Cyanogen will have that all cleaned up in a jiffy.

I also agree on the app draw. The new one does not slide with your finger, so I have to slide my finger like 10 times to move the same distance as it would take me 5 swipes on the old drawer.

So I just played with it a bit. Long press the search key opens voice search. Long press home does as expecterd, it opens the task menu( whatever you want to call it). Long press menu gives you the keyboard... nice to know. Long press back does nothing. I also did not try anything like long pressing the track ball. I think we need a apparently that gives a GUI to adjust the screen on/off.

I aslo agree that the placement of the SD sucks. I'd really like to see a dual SD.
[Nexus One General] dsjr2006:
I wish they would change around the headphone and power button..... I like the layout on the Droid/iPhone much better.
[Nexus One General] zendick:
btw I installed open home and its solved all but the power button issue for me, rotating home screen, old style app bar etc etc, I highly recommend
[Nexus One General] mdaddy:
The app titled: "Scriptures (beta)" shows up in my G1's market, but does not in my Nexus' market.

Any ideas what's going on?
[Nexus One General] Kermee:
Did you do any of the following to your Nexus One:

1. Unlocked bootloader?

2. Enable root?

If so, "Scriptures (Beta)" is a *protected* Android application and will not show up.

If not, then it's a OS "support" version issue.

Cheers,

Kermee
[Nexus One General] mdaddy:
My new N1 is not unlocked/rooted, but my old G1 *is*. But it's the G1 that sees the app fine, and the new N1 does not.

Must be an OS support issue.

I downloaded the app directly from the author's website and it works fine.
[Nexus One General] Kermee:
Yup. If that's the case, the author needs to fix it and update it on Android Market.

It's annoying for us developers and the damn manifest and API target/limits when "new" stuff comes out... *Sigh* ;)

Anyrate, good deal you got around it!

Cheers,

Kermee
[Nexus One General] jubeh:
application compatibility

Your phone is listed as a 2.1 device in the market, and if the apps don't specify compatibility (they introduced a compatibility layer in 2.0.1) then they won't show up since they won't work anyway (well, they might, but the general assumption is that they won't)
[Nexus One General] mlevin:
I guess that explains why AppManager Pro isn't showing up for me on my N1. Annoying. I love that app.
[Nexus One General] 3Shirts:
This explains why, when people were talking about Nexus One Torch and I decided to see what it was, my G1 couldn't see it. Now I have a Nexus I can (and it's good :) )
[Nexus One General] Antiskunk:
There are some errors I think, because I want Bonsai Blast which I think I remember was demo'd by the Bonsai Blast google developer for either droid or 2.1. I think it was a demo for the new resolution, so I know it can't be that, and I don't think a google Dev would forget to update his extremely popular app.
[Nexus One General] syntrix:
Let the application owners know!

When the moto droid came out, I emailed a few developers and some even came out with an update the very next day!
[Nexus One General] Antiskunk:
can somebody e-mail the developer of Bonsai blast then please? or tell me his/her/their name(s)/email?
[Nexus One General] eaglesteve:
If we take the conservative assumption that it must be listed on the Google's own market place before it would work on Nexus, how many applications are available at the moment? Is there good statistics on that yet?

Perhaps most of them would work on Nexus one anyway? Love to hear from people who have tried using the applications written for the older OS version and see if they are generally still compatible. It's hard to imagine how a version upgrade would upset the older applications too much.
[Nexus One General] Antiskunk:
Really the only set-back is the resolution. All of the hardware has exponentially increased. All of Androids apps are written in java, which is pretty standard and should have no problem running on all android platforms.

The only time it should be disallowed would be if a game were to be written for the N1 specs (which cannot run on the G1), and therefore not shown in the market for the G1.

I suppose developers don't want their games to look too pixelated on the N1 until they update the resolutions. It's a waiting game now, since there are absolutely NO games available unless you want to play solitaire.

Or you could email the devs to death requesting an update... :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scionofeights:
I have a G1 and a N1 and I have but one complaint. Neither of them can do bluetooth voice dialing. I've been looking for an answer on this for hours now to no avail. HTC and google seem oddly silent on this issue. Any Clues or solutions? Or is my dream of being able to use my phone in the car a pipe dream?

can a mod move or delete this? i just realized I posted in the wrong place.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -RotorDemon-:
Same here.. As of the new year we cannot handle our phones while driving a vehicle. Need to have voice dial working.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boomgawd:
Agreed

This would be awsome, same issue here in Ontario/Canada. No more talk and drive, voice dial and txt would be awsome!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unicate:
Hi all!

I was using Modaco 2.9 before and it was amazing stable.

Later on I tryied Hik@ri worked well, but not as stable as the modaco, so I thought lets change to the 3.0. Since that I have al lot system crashes, so I thought I need to do "deldalv and/or ext_wipe" with the RA-recovery-1.2.3

Figured out that it didnt work, it says I should use "adb deldalv"

I couldnt get the adb to run on my ubuntu linux, so I tried to find an update for the RA-recovery.

And there is RA-recovery-1.5.1 and I can just install it (cause I have a previous version) via adb.

Now My Question:

How does it work?!?

unicate@workstation:~$ adb usb
error: insufficient permissions for device
unicate@workstation:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
????????????	no permissions

unicate@workstation:~$ adb kill-server
unicate@workstation:~$ adb start-server

* daemon started successfully *
unicate@workstation:~$ adb usb

#Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bb4:0c02
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS(idVendor)=="0bb4",MODE="0666"

How do I connect the device then, if not like that?

How can I test if everything works?

Thanks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
afaik this looks good, try starting adb as root. this is what adb devices says for me:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadwilder:
./adb start-server

works for me (with root ofcourse :) )
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marinierb:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dpakrawal:
Off Topic...

Am sorry to be a little off topic.. I just got my Hero and was trying to figure out all the stuff about it here on XDA.. Can anybody tell me what is ADB ??.. Whats it used for ??.. As far as I have understood, I think its some sorta software to connect hero to the computer to transfer files and stuff.. Is it right ??.. If yes.. Then what is the difference between this and HTC SYNC ??.. Thanks in advance.. Cheers !!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadwilder:
if You want only transfer files, You don't need ADB.

htc sync is for synchronizing phone (contacts, calendar, etc) with PC (i guess, i don't use it :) ) and for upgrading SW.
[Nexus One General] Jackasaur:
Can you change the trackball colors on the nexus one?

Mod Edit:

Per lilHermit:

Apk:

TrackballColoursConcept.zip
[Nexus One General] ojiikun:
Yup, this, too, was one of the big surprises for me today when I got mine. I use and love several apps that flash the notification LED different/custom colours, but on the Nex1, the only colour I get is white.

I'm really, really, hoping that OS2.1 just changed the API and that updated apps will be able to do colours. I'm really, really scared that they cheaped out and put a white LED behind the trackball. >.<

[Nexus One General] Mi|enko:
People are saying that when Bluetooth is paired is flashes blue.
[Nexus One General] Jackasaur:
I heard when you have voicemail it flashes red. I haven't tried any of them yet though so I wouldn't know.
[Nexus One General] matthewboii:
its a tri color led so it CAN do any color its just a matter of the third party apps adapting to be able to control it, cant wait
[Nexus One General] AndroTMO:
White, red, blue....

Anyone else wish they had green?

Though it was very patriotic of HTC.:p
[Nexus One General] magicdroid:
all colors can be reproduced... just depends on the software that lights up the ball.
[Nexus One General] rastacre:
indeed it can be changed :)

unfortunately it stops working after a notification is fired...

Install NotifyLight from XDA:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=575024

then set up the pulselight on and change the values in:

/sys/devices/platform/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0066/leds/jogball-backlight/color

ie:

adb shell echo "255 0 0" > /sys/devices/platform/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0066/leds/jogball-backlight/color

this will give you a nice red jogball.

"255 0 0" is in RGB format.

And off course you need root for this to work...
[Nexus One General] DSwarP:
When white, it is actually the red, green, and blue all on at the same time. ;)
[Nexus One General] DarkLord7854:
Would love to see an app to configure all sorts of different notification colors for missed calls, texts, emails, etc, and the blink frequency.

Btw.. MissedCall works, but it can't change the colors.
[Nexus One General] hamshu:
Once the SDK drops for 2.1 and Nexus One codes and such are released, we should have notifications fixed and custom notifications.
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
http://twitter.com/missed_Call

I have to say that Google disabled multicolor LED notifications on the Nexus One! (the hardware can do them) #missedCall #NexusOne #fail
[Nexus One General] cliffy15:
I can't even to express how disappointed I am at this news. Multicolored notifications was one of the most useful features for me...
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
As are others. Seriously pissed.

[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
From all this drama going on, I'm gonna assume this guy has noooo idea what he is talking about:

Or what o_0
[Nexus One General] ScaredyCat:
... and seriously over reacting.
[Nexus One General] ScaredyCat:
Well, it's unlikely that there are 3 led's in there, just one tri-colour.

I've just installed the NotifyLight application and echo'd values to is and it works fine.

People are seriously over reacting, suggesting that this is a deliberate move by google - get a grip, it's probably an oversight. I agree that it's very useful to have but I'm not throwing my toys out of my pram over it.

SC
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Every sign including feedback from one of the most popular notification apps Devs points to it not working.

If all of a sudden custom ringtones and contact pictures were removed you'd see the same reaction.

Google already closes off the ability to add codecs or EQ bands.

Considering how many apps took advantage of this I dont see why peoples reactions arent justified. You dont pay 500+ for something to lose functionality.
[Nexus One General] ScaredyCat:
I'm not saying it's not, not working (without rooting). I'm suggesting that the mechanism (API and underlying implementation) has simply changed and it's an oversight. Looking at the link you provided earlier there was mention that the notification API hasn't changed in a long time.

"The SDK hasn't change in terms of Notifications since SDK version 1."

Perhaps that's the reason it's not working, perhaps the API needs an update rather that being deliberately disabled as that poster went on to say.

"Google just disabled that feature in Android 2.1."

That's simply an unsubstantiated claim by someone on the internet.

People are suggesting that this was a deliberate move by google to close off Android bit by bit. Perhaps waiting until we get some sort of response rather than flying off at the deep end is the best course of action.

2.1 is a new release and the Nexus One is a new device. That's what you paid for. You're an early adopter and really should understand that things might not be perfect in the first instance.

Since you're a senior member of the forum and by implication have been in here for a while and have obviously had more than one android phone, I'm a little surprised and your outrage.

SC
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
In and of itself youre 100% right.

But in context with every thing that has been coming out in the last week there could be much more to it.

For all I know there could be something N1 isnt capable of long term that these types of notifications may exploit.

Via Twitter and another via Email Ive seen 2 devs of notification apps confirm that the LED lights and patterns cant be manipulated.

Sure it can be an oversight or just some hitch. Perhaps Im giving these devs too much credit.But its the sqeauky hinge that gets the oil. While it may annoy other posters theres simply no better means than to continually raise a ruckus. Im not up in arms saying screw google F the nexus. Just being adamant about displeasure.

The only way any of us can expect a response is by having these conversations.

The 3g/edge issue doesnt seem to effect me but if its there a stink should be raised.

Frankly if a fix came out tomorrow for the rooted community and never by google Id be just as annoyed. I want the OS to move forward not backwards.:D

Hi,

Can you please let me know what is state of this project? which colors it uses for different type of the notification?

Also, can you please let me Is the link included in the first page shows the latest version of the software?

Thanks.
[Nexus One General] lilHermit:
The current state of this project is, I have an alpha build but have pretty much abandoned this app level approach. I am looking into tackling this from a ROM/OS point of view. The reason being, the way the stock N1 ROM deals with the "white flash" means it will overwrite anything we do at app level.

Looking through the code currently released by Google leads me to deduce there is no control other than "white flash" in the current code base. This is what we are looking to expand upon.

For this reason I am going to release the alpha package of TrackballColorNotify. The current version is v1.0alpha3 which comes in Blue/Red and Magenta forms. It will flash every 2seconds in the color chosen on receipt of sms/mms until you select notification or another system event overrides

I have not implemented a settings/preferences interface because of the change of tact.

Download here

Change List

- 1.0alpha3 (29/01/2010)

Fixed missing mms notification - Messed up logic​

- 1.0alpha2 (23/01/2010)

Fixed vibrate FC bug - Missing permission

Fixed "Clear all" bug by excluding alert from "Clear all"
​

- 1.0alpha1 (22/01/2010)

Initial Release
​

Known Issues:

- There is a delay of 5 seconds before it starts flashing blue/red/magenta at the moment this a because the system will turn it off because it thinks its turning off the white led.​

Use at your own risk, I cannot be held responsible for loss or damage etc etc yada yada yada.

lilHermit

Edit1: Oh and obviously you need su/Rooted phone. [ at the moment ;)]

Edit2: Changed download url

lilHermit, I owe you one!

Can I buy you a beer?

also, any chance for an apk for:

email notifications?

missed call notifications?

google talk chat notifications?
[Nexus One General] kep0ne:
Works great. Can't wait to see what you'll be able to provide at the ROM level. Maybe you can get it included in Cyanogen's ROM as well, as thats proven to be extremely stable.
[Nexus One General] Jackasaur:
This is coming along very well! :] really nice app. :D
[Nexus One General] stian230:
Wicked good app

work just fine had to force stop the flash once. otherwise completely topers:)
[Nexus One General] bobtentpeg:
Anyway you can have to vibrate as well? Since you had us turn off notifications in the SMS app, we only get the light wtih this. Otherwise we get doulbe notifications, which I can live with I guess
[Nexus One General] lilHermit:
As I have said, no settings/preferences have been coded for this app and probably wont be. So it means I can code it to either vibrate regardless or not at all, it will vibrate if that is the current system profile.

This is alpha and mostly abandoned from the app perspective due to system overriding.

lilHermit
[Nexus One General] kep0ne:
Not sure if it matters at this point, but the application no longer works when using the .32 kernel with CM 5.0 b3
[Nexus One General] lilHermit:
I'd be interested in seeing some logs. Also what does it do or not do?

lilHermit
[Nexus One General] kep0ne:
Just doesn't work at all. White led notification works, no blue notification. Your trackball pulse frequency app no longer works either.

How do I get logs? I'd be happy to help, but don't know how to get logs.
[Nexus One General] lilHermit:
I assume this happened since you upgraded to .32 kernel?

I've haven't tested with .32 but also not sure why it should stop working.

I've sent you a pm.

lilHermit
[Nexus One General] usmc2k:
sup lilHermit..... well tha update was workn good for awhile.... im on cyanogen beta 3 with his highmem .29.6 kernel and now the flashing dosnt want to stop anymore
[Nexus One General] lilHermit:
Hmm... I'm running beta3 with the default kernel and its fine, maybe I need to checkout the highmem kernel. Can you confirm which version of TrackballColorNotify you are using?

Seems you are getting different results to kep0ne, he is not seeing flash at-all.

Can you pm me some logs?

lilHermit
[Nexus One General] teddy_ballgame3:
anyone having issues with no vibration when using the trackball colors...

i turned off notifications in the messaging app.

downloaded popup sms and set it up to vibrate, checked "enable popup", unchecked "notifications".

now my trackball lights up blue, my screen lights up, it vibrates, and i get a popup box with name, photo, and text.

its a lot to do but together it works seamlessly!

ok not seamlessly. sometimes the trackball lights up and you have to kill it but it's only once in a while so no biggie to me.
[Nexus One General] tomsan84:
This thread is of no use to me, I only vaguely understand what everyone is saying. While I understand that is my problem, I, and I assume many others, would appreciate a guide/tutorial on how to set the trackball colours.

what commands do I need to use for:

setting the colour

setting the blinking intervals

assigning different colours to different notification

etc

Hell! in what directory should I put the trackballcoloursconcept.apk file?

I browsed this thread and a lot is said but its unclear to me.

I just got the multitouch to work, now I have set my mind on this one, but it seems a bit harder.

I hope someone can do this.

PS. Are there any must have ROMS? pm me

thx
[Nexus One General] indiearmy:
If you don't know, or can't even google search on how to install .apk files. I suggest you not even root your phone or worry about ROMS right now.
[Nexus One General] sasha26:
It's getting warm in here, but he is right!
[Nexus One General] kep0ne:
There is no set way to assign colors to notifications yet. This is still very much in beta, so you should probably ditch any hopes you have of customizing the trackball colors at this moment. Hopefully something will be available soon.
[Nexus One General] tomsan84:
hmm pity..

@indyarmy i rooted. multitouch is working, on native browser

but anyways hopefully google will put it in next update
[Nexus One General] indiearmy:
I would stop right there before you break your phone.

To install .apk just download eoeappinstall from the market.
