Stock Rom

Is there anyway to get this to work on a STOCK rom? Are there files i can push to enable this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] agriff:
Yes, by rooting your phone. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Damn it was running r21 all day to test ROM identification, just reflashed CM 5 minutes ago!

Can you turn on framework debug, call yourself and don't answer, the hit the "Send debug info" menu option.

Re: [APP] Trackball Alert v1.0.3

can you be more specific...my phone is rooted

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I believe it does work, but its something I can't support because Google don't tag their releases so its impossible for me to guarantee a working framework. Search back through this thread, it has been discussed and instructions posted.

Anyone else not a fan of the color wheel? I liked being able to look up the RBG value of any color and getting exactly that in the app. Now I have to carefully slide my finger around and hope I get something close to what I really want.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] roberto188:
Won't let me select colors

I have send you a debug email. For one reason or another when i pick custom colors the test notification only flashes a light pink no matter what color i pick. also, no matter what color i set my notifications to I ALWAYS get a green notification for email and an ORANGE noifitcation for text messages. No matter what i change in the program, it alwasy flashes those colors. Any help?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] agriff:
I'm kind of with you on this. I do like being able to quickly pick a general color with the wheel, but I would also like to do like you said to have a very specific color.

It's prob too much to ask to have both choices. Perhaps choosing wheel or RBG value might be an option in the app's Settings?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
v1.0.4 on market

Fixes the Custom Color not persisting

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Namuna:
How long before the market reflects the update? I just now got only update 1.0.3
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Its showing up on my market. Kill the market app and try again
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Namuna:
Still doesn't show up, perhaps some slowness in updating between Market servers?...You being in the UK and uploading to UK Market Server, myself being in US?

Then again, the fact my Market is "seeing" paid apps again I'll just be happy for that and keep checking back for the 1.0.4 update.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
If you can see paid apps, why are you still running the free version ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Namuna:
Eh? I bought TBPro as soon as it was up on the Market! :p

I'm just saying there was a lapse of time between TBPro1.0.1 and 1.0.3 where my wonky Market stopped "seeing" paid apps.

Today, for whatever reason, the Market unblinded itself and I was able to update to TBPro1.0.3...Though not 1.0.4

I'd go spelunking into the logcat to investigate, but since I'm at work I should actually be doing work. :D :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
There is no update to Trackball Alert Pro, v1.0.4 fixes a bug in the free version only. The latest Pro is 1.0.3.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Namuna:
Crudmonkeys! I track forum updates based on user (not posts/threads), so I mixed up this thread with the PRO thread.

Apologies for that.

Any chance of getting the succession mod in this app too? Would love this app if u include this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I already have a similar feature request. I assume you mean to actually stop the trackball flashing?!

I can't see this happening, it will increase the complexity of the patching too much.

Re: [APP] Trackball Alert v1.0.4

yes, to intercept trackball notifications and not display.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
that's really a pity... patching it with the services jar from "trackball in succession 0.5" does not really work well with Gmail
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I have not heard that, what problems do you have with succession and g-mail?

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
it goes like this:

i send myself an SMS: trackball flashes cyan

i send myself a Gmail: trackball flashes cyan (SMS), then once green (Gmail), then cyan, off, very faint light (no color), off, cyan, very faint light (no color), off, cyan, etc. etc. etc.

I am actually not sure whether that's a Gmail problem, or a problem of the combination trackball alert 1.0.3 + succession

i can see that it tries to flash different colors, but it has a problem with the second (or Gmail) color

SMS + Touchdown for Exchange seemed to work (cyan/red/cyan/red), but as soon as Gmail receives an Email, it doesn't

Hi,

I tried to install and use it from market on CM 5.0.6 and it does not work.

A black screen appears and after some 10-15 seconds a message si shown with the following content:

Activity CyanogenMod patch (in application trackBall Alert) is not responding

Is there some workaround for this? should I do something specialy before instlal trackball alert?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jerrycycle:
I use the track ball alert with the track ball secession and I don't have a issue. For those that don't do adb there is a update.zip in one of the treads.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] legolas.w:
Hi,

I have CM 5.0.6 and want to install track ball secession.

Is this trackball secession available in the market?

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Cponseti92:
My trackball is flashing the wrong color for new SMSs. It is supposed to flash orange, but is flashing green instead. All of the other notifications are flashing the correct color though. I sent you an email of the debug info.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sassyness77:
Okay...

:DJust recieved my nexus today! I bought trackball alert pro! Thanks for all your work this is excelent, but im wondering if there is a way to have the trackball flash a seperate color for different contacts that text you just as missed call did on my g1, is this in work or will it have to be a collaboration with annon? Is there anyway to do this or should i be asking the developer of missed call?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Unfortunately this is not possible with Trackball Alert on its own, as the contact name/id does not get passed down into the framework (where Trackball Alert operates).

I believe its possible with Handcent however I've never tried it, maybe someone else can confirm?

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] redwoodflyer:
Yep, works with Handcent, but not if you allow Trackball Alert Pro to intercept Handcent's alerts. The "catch" is that, unlike TBAP, Handcent has a fairly limited color palette.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
When you have different colors for different contacts does the ID sent by handcent change?

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Could somebody try setting their missed call led alert to "Red" on 1.0.4 and advise the result?

When I do this the test function blinks red but when I miss a call the trackball blinks cyan... ??? Is it just me?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I've just tried on Pro and Free and get red. Are you using stock cyanogen or your Kang-o-rama version?

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
I'm actually using "Lots-o-mods" a Kang-o-rama private release... :) But it's essentially the same as KoR as far as TA goes.

And missed call is cyan for any colour I set (although the test functions works just fine).

What logs should I have a look at? There's nothing (at all - no events, no errors, no messages) in the main log.

TA works fine for me on other intercepts... just missed call. Here's a log of me *changing* the missed call colour (test function still works correctly for each colour).

I generated a missed call immediately after this and it flashed cyan (meant to flash orange in this case).

If necessary I will install stock CM tonight and TA to test but I'd like to avoid that... if possible. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Turn of framework debug in Trackball Alert, trigger the alert and then do Email debug info option.

That should not be necessary.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] redwoodflyer:
How would I check that? I'm not too savvy on the guts of how the trackball light works, but I would guess that Handcent internally keeps track of which contact should be what color, and sends the "blue" "red" etc instruction to the trackball handler..otherwise wouldn't a system component need to interface with Handcent's settings page?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TheMikeMiller:
I admit that I didn't read the whole thread, but I couldn't find this mentioned with the search function.

I upgraded to Pro so I could capture Handcent and a couple other app alerts. What I'm not at all happy with is this:

Why won't my alerts all flash? If I miss an call, have a text, and an email; I will get one initial flash in the correct color, but then it goes away and will only flash a single color from then on. I want to see all 3 colors flashing; one for each kind of alert.

I understand that this might be the api as it is probably is only setup to trigger "a" flash from any new alert. I want to be able to ignore some alerts like email or messages, but be able to check my missed call if I get all three.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
If you are a pro use I would recommend posting your question in there. There are many users waiting to help you.

What you are asking for can not be done by Trackball Alert Pro alone but Trackball in Succession can help.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] legolas.w:
Hi,

Does it works on Android 2.2?

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codito:
Isn't trackball in succession open sourced? You should ask if they would let you incorporate the code. It'd be a pretty big selling point IMO.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Not until the source is available

Trackball Alert modifies framework, trackball in succession modified a different part of the OS, so not possible at this point. Also I'm not convinced on the code due to the battery issues, which is why cm5.0.7 has gone with a "blending" solution.

Trackball Alert and Froyo

Guys,

Paul O'Brien and myself finally cracked Trackball Alert support for Froyo, this has now been released over on the MoDaCo forums.

r16 - MoDaCo Custom ROM for Nexus One with Online Kitchen - FRF50 Froyo

Check it out.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] leonnib4:
Do we have something to implement on other ROMs to get it working?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Pm me and I'll hook you up with the framework and services jars.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] danimar1:
Would these modified jars work with the stock FRF50 Froyo?

I decided to be patient and wait for the OTA so I'm keeping the stock rom but anyway I want the colors :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Yes they are custom jars, however at this stage you won't be able to get Trackball Alert working with stock. This is because the Stock ROM is odexed.

Edit: When is stock not stock, when someone has de'odexed it ;)

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] danimar1:
Thanks for the clarification!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
[APP] Trackball Alert v1.0.5

Just pushed v1.0.5 to market.

Changes here

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] imfloflo:
Just notice something with 1.0.4:

The phone is on, but screen is off and lock,

SMS arrives,

Phone vibrate via Handcent SMS.

No blink !!!

If i light the screen, then the trackball start to blink !

Is it possible to make the trackball blink without any action of me?

Maybe there is something in the settings ? trackball color? or Handcent sms options?

BTW great work for froyo.

F.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
What ROM are you using, it should flash with the screen off or on, if the services.jar mod that I wrote is working.

MCR_r16 and MCR_r17 both have this and work fine.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] imfloflo:
I'm using MCR16 but now the LED is working i'm trying to test it maybe it's just one time after a reboot

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pzumk:
damnit. That sucks. Really. Give out framework files based on CM then?

Does "your" framework replace anything of the actual CM one?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
As I'm selling it on market it needs to self contained apk. Plus there are restrictions on what I can put in the apk.

There is a solution being tested at the moment.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
do you need more testers mate? I am happy to keep testing things.

You could always give out the framework here and sell the app somewhere else? Or leave it donation only? Surely people would donate even just a few bucks for this ???
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I think its going to work, but its going to need some serious testing. Probably about 5 hours of code tomorrow so all being well have something to test tomorrow.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bre:
same thing to me

no way to stop mails notification on alpha 14, everything else seems to work well
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Mail notification problem I believe is at rom level not Trackball Alert. Getting the trackball working at all on the Desire was a massive hack by Paul and myself. Considering

a) that whole rom is put together from Binaries

b) there is no code in the binaries for trackball color (because Desire does not have one)​

I would say that Paul has done a superb Job.
