Oh wow! I'd like to know how you got it working as well!

The two reasons why I'm not using FroYo on my N1 yet: can't customise trackball colour notifications, and no trackball wake.

I went back to Cyanogen 5.0.7.1 lol xD
[Nexus One Android Development] watercool:
lol you are right! Trackball alert works. you have to turn your screen off to see the trackball flashing. great..

edit: hm, the test alert works, but when i get an email it is still white...
[Nexus One Android Development] mam4983:
Yea same issue here. TBA works with the test alert but not the actual emails.
[Nexus One Android Development] player911:
How do you get this working?

I installed the zip but I don't notice any changes. Is there settings or something or does it just work?
[Nexus One Android Development] jerrycycle:
Blink - works for me on 2.2
[Nexus One Android Development] techlogik:
Because everytime I try to mod something with an update file on my Modaco R21 Desire Rom...my phone gets hosed up.

So, no...I won't try it...but if someone else wants to, then they can go for it.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
That's because the desire rom isn't compatible with alot of things.

(Also the reason anything you try to update hoses your phone.)
[Nexus One Android Development] mad_vtak:
I figured that it doesnt work on froyo, is there a way to uninstall this?
[Nexus One Android Development] Vasikun:
Just restore your back-up!

Or did you forget to make a back-up?
[Nexus One Android Development] techlogik:
Well, as a few others have tested and tried with the Desire Rom...it's a no-go. Just keeps flashing Green for everything.

Download "Trackball Alert" from the market...free version works on Modaco R22.1 Rom great! Pay version has more support supposedly.
[Nexus One Android Development] ermacwins:
erm sorry for not reading all 30+ pages but can we edit what colours we want? eg red for missed calls
[Nexus One Android Development] osugsxr:
is this working with 2.2??? few posts say it works and anothers its not...
[Nexus One Android Development] RogerPodacter:
I'm using froyo as well and I cannot get track ball alert or blink to work for me either.
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
on my froyo.. it doesn't :(
[Nexus One Android Development] hjaltih:
I just installed "Blink" on my rooted N1 - Froyo

No problems.... Didn't even add this zip to get it to work...
[Nexus One Android Development] rohandhruva:
This is not working for me on my rooted N-1 Froyo. It always shows white notifications.

Edit: As hjaltih said, blink works perfectly.
[Nexus One Android Development] hjaltih:
Yay :) I actually managed to help someone in here :P
[Nexus One Android Development] ermacwins:
blinking working good on 5.0.7.1 but wouldnt stop flashing ball after missed call was viewed
[Nexus One Android Development] djmcnz:
Trackball notifications in Froyo only work when the screen is off... and as far as I can tell this mod is not required to achieve that.

Missed call, ChompSMS, Gmail, Blink all work for me on Froyo (well blink partially - it only flashes once) but only when the screen is off. Which is by design.
[Nexus One Android Development] RogerPodacter:
I've tried with screen off but it just doesn't work for me with froyo. Handcent is only one that changes the color
[Nexus One Android Development] djmcnz:
So if you get a Gmail on Froyo and your screen is off the trackball doesn't flash green? Odd.

Please help me , would appreciate this .
[Nexus One Android Development] TailsNeon556:
is your Nexus One rooted? if not you cant flash this..you need a custom recovery image to flash an update.zip like this which means you have to unlock the bootloader first / root (Amon_RA or Clockwork Recovery)
[Nexus One Android Development] stonner:
Could you guide me and provide me the exact roms required and how would i know my device bootloader is locked or not ?
[Nexus One Android Development] TailsNeon556:
If you don't have an unlocked padlock icon on the boot splash screen.. you're still locked.. the phone is shipped locked... if you want to root use the info in the sticky in nexus one general and the unlockr.com is another good resource..
[Nexus One Android Development] RogerPodacter:
nope. not at all. i've tried so many things to get it working too. handcent flashes red for texts, because i have that in my settings. but thats it. trackball alert does not work. blink does not work.
[Nexus One Android Development] stonner:
Well so far i couldn't find any UNLOCKED icon , boot splash so i guess am locked then , :(
[Nexus One Android Development] stonner:
Also one important query , would i be effected if i root / Unlock my Nexus One , effected in a sense that would i be able to recieve the Upcoming FroYou 2.2 OTA , due coming weekend (hopefully) if i root it , or that wont be a issue ??

Don't know if you've tried this but Gmail Notifier works great and flashes the color of your choice. Just turn off the notification in Gmail (else it won't work) and set it up in Gmail Notifier.

Flashes a nice red every time I get a Gmail :)
[Nexus One Android Development] stonner:
guess ur's Rooted then coz i tryed that still no color just same old blinking white , nothings change in it , there are tons of applications in MARKET ,such as GMAIL ALERTS color , TRACKBALL color etc , but none of them are working so i guess being LOCKED is a issue ?
[Nexus One Android Development] SBS_:
I'm not rooted, but you have to run Froyo of course for this to work. You can install the Froyo update without being rooted and without unlocking your N1. It's also important to disable the notification in the Gmail app or else Gmail Notifier won't work.
[Nexus One Android Development] alfie196:
Clear some issues up...

I have a rooted Nexus One Running the leaked Froyo ROM. The lights.mahimahi.so file size is exactly the same as the file size of the update here, so i would expect they are the same.

For some reason neither produce a colour from the System apps when the screen is off.

I am going to test Handscent and see if this works on both files, if it does produce a colour, this suggests that the System apps have had the colour settings for notifications removed.

If it doesn't work, then its beyond me, then maybe i have done something wrong or there are issue with the FROYO rom.

If any one has disassembled any of the system apps for FRF50 rom, then could they run a search on "ledARGB" to see if the apps actually do try to change the colour. I know they do in the open source project, but it may still be worth a check.

Edit: Handscent does display the coloured flash ball when the screen is off, make sure you have disabled the normal message notifications, as they will be white and will overwrite the colour you want.

Edit: Correct me if im wrong but the System apps in the FRF50 FROYO leak, do not have coloured trackball notifications. My apps can make coloured trackballs, as can Handscent and the rest from the Market do. GMail, Messaging etc do not. Dont ask me why!
[Nexus One Android Development] djmcnz:
Just use Trackball Alert, take away the guesswork... :)
[Nexus One Android Development] alfie196:
I would have, but it doesn't work with the with the "stock" FRF50 ROM. I think you need a ROM that has got lilHermits framework changes in. CyanogenMOD or MoDaCo based roms have these changes i believe.

Edit: FYI the Blink package works really well with the "stock" FRF50 leak.

Handcent led notifications not working. Only pink flash.

[Nexus One Android Development] kep0ne:
LED only blinks in the pinkish color. Settings in any application aren't working.
[Nexus One Android Development] bobchadwick:
I've seen pink for most stuff, but green for new email.
[Nexus One Android Development] ChainsDD:
Due to the way the notification system is set up, you'll only see the colors that are set when the screen is off and the pulsating trackball option is set in settings. I'm going to look into that tomorrow.
[Nexus One Android Development] awdlexusis:
good start bro thanks..will be sweet when we have control of the colors!!
[Nexus One Android Development] PISSANDVINEGAR:
What do we do with	native_trackball_colors.zip? Flash it from SD? Install it as APK?
[Nexus One Android Development] SiNJiN76:
Flash it from Ra's Recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] spankee:
First post! You have to turn off blink led in the notification settings and just leave light trackball checked.
[Nexus One Android Development] PredatorX14:
flash in the RA-Ramon recovery. just like anyrom
[Nexus One Android Development] dchadwick:
Great work! I love it!
[Nexus One Android Development] Ssantos6981:
text message notification...

for some reason it doesn't work. I don't get any sound, nor light. I haven't tried email yet but anyone else having a problem?

I reset the phone again and it seems to be working this time around.
[Nexus One Android Development] PISSANDVINEGAR:
Mine flashes pink for everything, calls, sms, boot.
[Nexus One Android Development] zidane:
it only lights once. not like the stop where it keeps pulsing until you open the email/sms
[Nexus One Android Development] optmkleung:
It's work fine. Sure, you need to do both steps. You need to turn on the flash of led in settings. It works only when the screen is off. Flash pink when turn on or correct to usb. Flash Green when receive an email. :) But, I wound like to choose the color, too. Thanks nice work!!!:D
[Nexus One Android Development] kingklick:
wowwowoww

thank you!
[Nexus One Android Development] MontAlbert:
i have green for gmail and normal for handcent (I did get it to do blue once but it is not repeatable- edit- yes it is- does normal flash first then a bit later starts flashing the required colour- i set handcent to blue. Maybe the green is a carryon from trackbal colour notify app- i uninstalled it as it may have interacted wrongly with it... but then i just had green for gtalk... so strange- its an awesome start though...

had to turn off the handcent screen on for popup and viola it works now. nice and bright blue.

***edit*** individual colours in handcent work too- just set the missus' to red and it worked as well. for some reason the first flash is the usual white and then a few seconds later it starts the colour flashing...

***edit2*** missed call is cyan colour i think- a lighter blue- if only we could easily change these colours if required.
[Nexus One Android Development] MontAlbert:
wonder if lilHermit's trackballflashrate will work with this? only one way to find out. :D

After talking to FrAsErTaG, it seems we have different colours for the same apps (ones we cant set ourself- eg. gmail, missed call, gchat.

for me: green = gmail and gchat

blue/cyan = missed call

sms = orange

wife's sms= red

it seems even though i uninstalled lilhermits trackballcolornotify app it has kept my colors from there- i had it set to green- frasertag had his set to red....

this means you can change the default ones around if you want...i think...

Yup using Touchdown and it works perfectly. Thanks for this :)
[Nexus One Android Development] FormelLMS:
Thanks for this code!

But what did I wrong? I've pushed the file to the right place and restarted the phone.

At restart the trackball goes pinky, okay.

The phone sleeps, I've had become a Gmail. No flashing.

I've had become a SMS. No flashing.

I've become a Email, green flashing.

Whats this? What must I do, to become the trackball notifying?

Anyone help please.
[Nexus One Android Development] m00moo:
make sure u have flash led on for each app.
[Nexus One Android Development] FormelLMS:
Where can I do this?

I can't make a setting to this in Gmail or SMS/MMS App.

It's in Menu-Settings-Display and Sound-trackball notification??

But in SMS/MMS and Gmail is no function for that.
[Nexus One Android Development] nanohits:
Im noticing with Touchdown when I set the lights, it flashes only a couple of times and doesn't flash any longer after that. I have set for it to nag under custom settings for LED but only flashes twice. Any ideas?
[Nexus One Android Development] jeux_1:
Anybody tried the update.zip (I renamed the file update.zip and tried to flash it) format file ? I am getting the invalid signature message on a rooted handset.

[Nexus One Android Development] m00moo:
more info would help. how are u trying to flash it? FYI you dont need to rename to update.zip, just put into root and flash via recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] SylencedOne:
What causes the different behavior of the led flash with screen on vs. off. (Pink vs. Some other color)? Will this eventually be configurable with the proper app?
[Nexus One Android Development] m00moo:
there IS no app. This is just something google for some reason left out.

I have a rooted Nexus one with Modaco custom rom (Kitchen)

I have put the native_trackball_colors.zip into the root of my SD card (renamed as update.zip , restarted went to Android System recovery and choose apply sdcard:update.zip.

put the zip in root of SDcard.

reboot into recovery and choose flash from zip

I'm getting a pink flash, and then I am getting the proper color blinking NOT with the trackball, but with the charge indicator on the upper right of the screen... Any way to fix this?

I am running Modaco Desire alpha7...
[Nexus One Android Development] jeux_1:
thanks M00moo, I had to reinstall the RA-Nexus Recovery Image .
[Nexus One Android Development] fdxgnd:
Not sure why, but the only color that shows on my trackball is pink. It does this for everything. SMS, email, missed call, etc. Any suggestions.
[Nexus One Android Development] SylencedOne:
Perhaps some of the devs can shed some light on why this behaviour happens?
[Nexus One Android Development] NeidRider:
Some finding with handcent:

the flashing in the chosen color only starts if the display has previously been activated by the notification.

otherwise it only flashes once in the color, and that's it.
[Nexus One Android Development] FormelLMS:
I think, everyone has another problem with it. It's probably not stable.

My Problem is that sms/mms and emails pulse twice green. Calls not once. Gmail not once.
[Nexus One Android Development] 3bs:
How are you choosing the color in Handcent? I've selected different colors but always get pink.
[Nexus One Android Development] deadpoux:
same problem for me, nothing for gmail and calls
[Nexus One Android Development] Gr8gorilla:
If you set notification color in Handcent, the chosen color flashes when the screen is off only. If you have it set to pop up a quick message screen the color will flash after the screen goes black. The same seems to be true for all notification colors. If the screen is black the trackball blinks a color. For email it is green. Havent had a missed call yet.
[Nexus One Android Development] rheza02:
Anyone know how to set up the color ?

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] eXelero:
any1 knows how to uninstall/kill the application?

missed call blue led seems not to stop flashing... :/

sms green led flashes twice.

edit: tried to delete /system/lib/hw/lights.mahimahi.so but no success...
[Nexus One Android Development] Gr8gorilla:
I am using Handcent. You can choose the led color under handcent. To test send test notification and then push screen lock button. The trackball should flash the chosen color. The magenta seems to flash only once though. Could this have to do with the fix for the pink trackball flash on boot?
[Nexus One Android Development] 3bs:
Doesn't work for me. Still flashes pink.
[Nexus One Android Development] ChainsDD:
Due to the way the notification system handles LED notifications the trackball won't light up in the color the app wants it to unless the screen is off and the pulse trackball setting is checked. I'm looking into a new way to handle this, but for now, that's how it is.

The pink is due to the way the trackball shows 0xffffffff (white). I found a way to show real white and I'll release that tonight.

The issue with the trackball lighting and going back out is in the way I had handled the "attention" LED. It's an LED that exists in the software but not the hardware so I used the trackball for both that and notification LED. I was accidentally turning the trackball off when the attention LED was turned off. That's also fixed in the version I'll upload this afternoon.
[Nexus One Android Development] m00moo:
from what i understand it seems like your setting the default value of the notification LED. So this means we can have an default color other than white as standard right?
[Nexus One Android Development] sasha26:
Is anyone else getting the flashing on the charging LED rather than the trackball LED? I am on the Modaco Desire ROM Alpha7...
[Nexus One Android Development] chronzz:
ok after looking around to figure out how i can have individual colors for my text and was able to do so with sms popup. you can set individual led flash color for any contact and works. thanks. can wait for the update i do not mix with pink
[Nexus One Android Development] lilHermit:
This is probably because the Desire does not have a RGB Trackball, therefore the necessary control is not in the ROM.

~
[Nexus One Android Development] sasha26:
well, the trackball color notify app does work, so the desire still has support for RGB LED trackball...
[Nexus One Android Development] 3bs:
Finally figured out the right combo of settings for me for SMS colors via Handcent

Sound & display > check Pulse notification light

Handcent settings:

> Notifications > check Blink LED

- set Color of LED to whatever you want

- set Light trackball to NEVER

Works like a charm.
[Nexus One Android Development] eXelero:
all clear now, removed the .so file with Android Commander.

rebooted and now i'm back to normal.

will wait for a version where all parameters can be setup in order to control colour/frequency/duration of the different types of LED trackball signals.

Formel,

I used the flash method and mine is working great on cm5.0.3.1. I use handcent for my messaging app and you have to make sure under phone settings and notifications that your trackball is set to pulse.
[Nexus One Android Development] xManMythLegend:
Anyone have any luck getting this to work wih trackball flashrate app ?

Trackball lights up for 2 quick pulses then never again.

EDIT:

Uninstalled trackball rate..Handcent reminders now work but wont start for at least a minute after msg received.
[Nexus One Android Development] FormelLMS:
@Gr8gorilla

It is enabled in settings.

I didn't use handcent, but that can't be the issue.

I think I'll wait for the new Version (tonight) and give it a try again.

Thanks for your help.
