Endless reboot on AT&T Nexus One

I have both the T-Mobile and AT&T version of the Nexus One. On the T-Mobile version I was using a Cyanogen ROM and both the mods worked like champs. However, on the AT&T Nexus One it goes into an endless boot (i.e. it never finished booting up; it replays the swirling particles forming an "X" over and over). I have the Modaco ROM on the AT&T Nexus One (the Cyanogen didn't seem to ever finish booting) and this endless reboot occurred afer I installed these mods (yes, I tried both in hopes of getting one of them to work). I don't know if other AT&T Nexus One owners have experienced this, but I really like the mod on the T-Mobile version.

metalhead8816, would it be possible to add in the option or make it default that when you are in another app or I guess on the home screen that if you double click the trackball it will skip songs also instead of having to bring up the music widget or going in to the music app to switch songs. Cuz it sucks when you're playing a game while listening to music and you want to change a song you have to go to the home screen for the widget or go in to the music app to change songs then back in to the game you were playing.

[Nexus One Android Development] kwan:
Has anyone gotten intermittent Wifi problems with this mod? Specifically Wifi being on, but not actually getting any data transfer?
[Nexus One Android Development] metalhead8816:
I haven't. I didn't even tinker in that area of the source code so I don't know why that would be happening.
[Nexus One Android Development] metalhead8816:
I have thought about this some. The only problem with this is that some apps use the trackball input for the app so it is hard to differentiate between whether the app wants the input or you are trying to skip songs.
[Nexus One Android Development] kwan:
Then perhaps it was something else. I just got an update from juicedefender with a change log thats supposed to fix wifi issues.

I'll reenable trackball wake up and see.

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] darx:
Ha! Taken out from under my nose. Was just about to download when I had to refresh, they were gone!

Still iffy about updating to 5.0.5 but I'll have to see.

Thanks for all your hard work!
[Nexus One Android Development] socket84:
Metal, can you make a version compatible with sense rom? Is it possible?

(i've tried it on but nothing, is not compatible...)

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] metalhead8816:
I've mentioned this to Paul and he hasn't really gotten back to me.
[Nexus One Android Development] manup456:
Any idea if a new cyan version and a enom version coming?
[Nexus One Android Development] metalhead8816:
CM-5.0.5 is out. Don't know when Enom is going to release, but this is supposed to be incorporated into it :)
[Nexus One Android Development] rtouk:
hey, i dont know if this is possible or not or if anyone could suggest another way of doing this. but as my powerbutton decided to suddenly stop working :/ trackball wake has enabled me to keep using my phone which is good as its only a few weeks old! (maybe not such a great idea to have voided my warranty within 12 hours of having the phone...) but if i could say long press the trackball to relock the phone? that would be great help for when im out and about and slipping it in and out of my pocket.

if anyone knows of a widget or a way todo this is command line it would be a big help.

thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] david1171:
I'm in the same boat as you. It sucks terribly and there isn't any way I know of to cut the screen off another way besides settings the screen time out really low. Also, if you phone dies/cuts off you can plug it up to a usb cable and quickly pull the battery and reinsert it to power it back on. That has saved me a few times.

Yeah, with 20/20 hindsight, probably not the best idea to unlock it an hour or so after booting it up.
[Nexus One Android Development] djmcnz:
I suppose you guys could try a lock screen application combined with an app that maps functions to the soft keys. e.g. Perhaps you could map a long press on the search key to bring up a lock screen app? It's just a thought, both apps are out there, I haven't tried the combo though.
[Nexus One Android Development] igrek200:
Hi all,

is it possible 2 get TrackballWake on Alpha 17 - MoDaCo.

i tried 2 use it but it crashed

I am ex iPhone user and I really need this option.

thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] manup456:
Yeah 5.0.5 is out bro but he is dropping 5.0.5.1 a little later. Yeah I forgot he told me he was adding it to the next drop.
[Nexus One Android Development] redmongoose:
I have tried the screen locks to get away from using the power button or waiting for the timeout to lock the screen. A long press on the trackball when on the home screen to lock would be great.

Thanks for this app metalhead8816 it works a treat in CM 5.0.5.1
[Nexus One Android Development] pic.micro23:
metalhead8816, would it be possible to add in the option that when on the home screen and if you double click the trackball then it will go to sleep.

The reason I ask this is because on my G1 when I press the MENU key it wakes up the phone and then the END CALL button puts it to sleep.

On the nexus one the power button is in a award position to press it specially one using it with one hand (i have small hands).

Even better would be to have an option where we could type a command line of the program to be executed when double click happens in the home screen. then me and other users who have asked this would be really really happy.

Thanks anyways for your contributions.

Thx
[Nexus One Android Development] rtouk:
does this mean there is a way to lock the phone via commandline?
[Nexus One Android Development] bcrook:
I would to see something like a long press with music on would pause the playback. A regular click would still unlock.

There is no easy way to stop music on the Nexus, you have to take it out and unlock and pause, or pull out the headphones.

Keep up the great work!
[Nexus One Android Development] pzumk:
Good idea bcrook! Would like to see this in the next CyanogenMod!
[Nexus One Android Development] tasomaniac:
They don't work together. When I enable the setting to wake the device with the trackball, music skip doen't work.
[Nexus One Android Development] pzumk:
Read the first post.
[Nexus One Android Development] tasomaniac:
Sorry my bad. One more question: In cyanogen change log it says that when you long press the volume button, it skips the music. Is it true?
[Nexus One Android Development] polo79:
good news about the Desire ROM and Trackball Wake. on the modaco forum Paul said he is looking into incorporating this into his ROM. crossed fingers.....
[Nexus One Android Development] pzumk:
Yes it is.
[Nexus One Android Development] Turets:
Keep up the good work Metalhead! It's definitely much appreciated here!!

@Turets
[Nexus One Android Development] webarnes:
This would be fantastic. I often want to pause my music or podcasts in the car, so I pull out the adapter, but when I want to restart I have to use the screen. Would love to be able to just hold the button for a second or two to do it.
[Nexus One Android Development] KLLSWITCH:
i hope he does i really want that feature
[Nexus One Android Development] gil@spoontools.com:
Excuse my ignorance

Excuse me, but is there a way to simply install this tweak?

I'm still new to Android, and every hack out there seem to require updating the ROM which I prefer to avoid.

Isn't there a simply way to add this tweak?

(what we used to call a CAB file in good old Windows Mobile... :))
[Nexus One Android Development] pzumk:
FYI .cab is .apk for Android :)
[Nexus One Android Development] AndyCr15:
Does no-one have this is an apk? I use MCR 2.1 and would like this... I've tried Cyanogen and didn't like it as much... I also just don't want to have to set everything up again, just for this one feature :(
[Nexus One Android Development] metalhead8816:
As I have said before. This isn't really a additional application, but a Android OS modification. So I don't think it would be possible to make this into an APK.
[Nexus One Android Development] gil@spoontools.com:
OK thanks anyway

OK.

Thanks for the quick response anyhow.
[Nexus One Android Development] brotbuexe:
would it be possible to change this feature to emulate the headset skip action, so it will work with any app that will work with headsetbuttons, not only the music app?

Would like to skip songs within spotify.
[Nexus One Android Development] metalhead8816:
Possibly i have to go source digging. To see if I can find how they accomplish it.
[Nexus One Android Development] civicvx94:
I'm in desperate need of the trackballwake mod on my Desire rom...

Does any one know if it is compatible? Everything I find is ambiguous..

Is there a .zip of this floating around anywhere or do I have to flash CM to get this amazing necessity!

Thanks in advance for any help!
[Nexus One Android Development] jeux_1:
it is not compatible with the desire rom.
[Nexus One Android Development] svntsvn:
is there a version that works with the desire sense ui?
[Nexus One Android Development] SiNJiN76:
Has anyone suggested that the TrackballSkip be incorporated so that it may work with other players, not just the stock? If so...can't wait for it to be released! If not...may I be the first?:D
[Nexus One Android Development] metalhead8816:
Can people please read the thread!!!! There was a post about this seriously like 4 posts ago. I will be looking into doing this.

Also as stated at least 5 times through this thread this doesn't support the Desire ROM.
[Nexus One Android Development] SiNJiN76:
DoH! I gambled...and lost! ;) Thanks...just one of those days...
[Nexus One Android Development] Zenoran:
so is there a way to get trackball wake that u can push to stock rom?
[Nexus One Android Development] Royal2000H:
Hey Jon,

I'm glad you're looking into making it a universal control (with other players).

As was mentioned in the other page, a way to pause would be outstanding.

Are you looking into this as well? Personally, that is more important than compatibility with other players. I know I'm on the XDA forums, but I have a Moto Droid, so I'm more interested in what you did with the Volume rockers than with the trackball. Hence, my request for pause play would probably be holding down the camera button or something since there's no trackball.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] stod:
Where?

Did I miss something? So where exactly am I able to download this mod for trackball wake? Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] rori~:
:) you missed to read the first opening post in this thread, there you find it..
[Nexus One Android Development] Pestilenc:
I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for this incredible little app. I just installed it and its working great with Trackball Alert (non pro version). Instructions were simple and easy to follow.

This has fixed about the only remaining issue I had with the Nexus One.

Cheers!
[Nexus One Android Development] Arakhnidef:
Suggestions to expand the trackball skip mod. Why just have the skip function when the trackball can be used to pause and goback as well. Pressing on the trackball once will pause the song, twice will skip it and long press would go back to previous song or start the song if it has played for more than 3 seconds.

Much quicker way to do the usual music functions, there's no reason I should have to turn on the phone and go through a lockscreen, switch to the app and and then press a button when it can be done in one or two taps of the trackball. One thing that android phones lack in my opinion are hardware buttons that expedite the most commonly used functions.

Thanks

Rafael N.
[Nexus One Android Development] hfalk4:
does this work with spotify music player as well?

If not. is it possible to get it to work with spotify?

and can you fix it?

In advance

Thanks!!

Any answere plz??
[Nexus One Android Development] mmerlin10:
Would love to be able to receive calls by pressing trackball. Pity nobody is able to make such thing...

[Nexus One Android Development] techlogik:
Mmm...the links have been taken down according to the first post...so where can you find an update.zip built and ready for trackball wake?
[Nexus One Android Development] rori~:
Uff, sorry, you are right...

But trackball wake is included in CM.
[Nexus One Android Development] techlogik:
Hence our question on the last page or so, nobody has an update.zip for this now?
[Nexus One Android Development] deanesn:
can we get the links back up?
[Nexus One Android Development] vegetaleb:
I hope a Desire Rom version will be available too
[Nexus One Android Development] metalhead8816:
Took the links down because it only works on cm. Mentioned that people wanted for desire to paul and my source is available.

[Nexus One Android Development] deanesn:
Can I get your source so I can try to port it? Paul has a lot on his hands right now so I know he won't be able to port it anytime soon. Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] metalhead8816:
its in my signature
[Nexus One Android Development] deanesn:
wow, lol this where i shoot myself. I read every single post here and every time looked at your signature as soon as my saw saw the twitter link they just ignored the 2nd link. sorry. thanks. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] deanesn:
metalhead8816, any chance you would make this mod available for MCR Desire for the Nexuse 1? :) please please please :P

Or if any one knows which smalis contain the code I will try to port it.
[Nexus One Android Development] chris4chelsea:
tks so much, this is a super idea! hope i m not disturbing anyone here, but is it possible to have a .jar for us to install on CM5041 ROM?
[Nexus One Android Development] deanesn:
anyone? I didn't know it was going to be this hard to get an answer especially with all the knowledgeable people on this forum.

I promise I will not pm you or ask anymore questions if you provide the answer to my question. lol
[Nexus One Android Development] techlogik:
Thanks Bro.

If anybody makes some progress on this, post it up. I might give it a go, but I have been strapped for time lately...too much stuff going on.

Thanks

Update for Froyo?

I know its part of CM now but will be a bit before there is a CM release of Froyo, and this is a must have for me I have gotten so used to it :) I guess that means good work!
[Nexus One Android Development] SimFox3:
+1 Froyo

I thought my N1 was broken when the trackball failed to wake device

actualy trackball wake works for me on froyo. i installed Paul`s rom on top of 5.0.6.

Donno bout lockscreen i dont use it..
[Nexus One Android Development] vitosans:
Did you have to do anything special to enable it? Spare parts? I also installed Paul's rom on top of 5.0.6-n1-stable and I do not have trackball wake :confused:

[Nexus One Android Development] rori~:
Even after a reboot?
[Nexus One Android Development] animoo:
Did you wait the phone go to suspend mode, when the screen goes off?

My experience is that when screen turns off, and then I press the trackball in a few seconds, the phone wakes up. If i do this later,it wont.

Trackball wake up is the only thing thats preventing me from migrating to FroYo.

Its an absolute must, i even tried the desire rom and stopped using it for this only reason :P
[Nexus One Android Development] ionutz6:
indeed it is. i am on froyo, which, by the way, is amazing, and the only missing thing from cm506 is trackballWake. I got so used to turn the screen on using the trackball that i cannot live without it. I would even search all over to find a download link and try it on froyo, but if you say it is for sure not working on froyo.. this breaks my heart.. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] SS2006:
can someone re upload the file I once used in recovery to add this

im not on cyanogen , (the reason the links were taken down) why not just keep them up, theres always some other reason smeone might need them
[Nexus One Android Development] metalhead8816:
I took them down because people will try it and complain that it doesn't work. It will not work for anything except CM and has been integrated into CM. So just wait for an official release as we need the source to make sure it works perfectly. If you are antsy you could always build it yourself from the source on my github.
[Nexus One Android Development] torchedlh:
Do you have plans to make this compatible with stock froyo??? I would be VERY interested. Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] rony05:

i use lockbot pro now but not happy with at all.sometimes works sometimes doesn't .
