Succession mod still requires a "wakelock". I'm all set with draining the batt. We need to find away to correct the mod and not cause the wakelock.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I actually don't see how that's possible. I have looked at the code and Cyanogen's attempted fixes. Basically it require some form of looping code to change the colors for active alerts, which will eat battery.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
Ya that in itself seems to be the problem. It doesn't really eat a lot but I am a batt paranoid machine. I am usually un-plugged regularly for 16-20 hours (work sucks :rolleyes: ) and can use it all day while keeping charge (about 20% at end of day). With succession i've noticed a lot less battery at the end of the day, all I will say.

But back to this app, going to be #1 app once released!!!! Amazed at how well the pro version works!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
I did some unscientific testing on how the successions mod affects battery life:

A few hours with it installed, normal use.

A few hours without it installed, normal use.

It averages a worse battery life by about 1% an hour for me. So I'm keeping it on, and can't wait until Trackball Alert is ready for 5.0.6 :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Trackball Alert will be ready for 5.0.6 when cyanogen thinks 5.0.6 is ready :)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
Yea I know, I'm just impatient. Plus I'm ready to throw money at you for a pro version :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nDrg:
Join the queue :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
sorry guys, I know you want this, but I'm a perfectionist and don't want to release something that is not ready.

However I think we are on target for a weekend release of the pro version to market. Beta2 going out tomorrow with nice additions ;)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] karnovaran:
General question - Is there any chance the CM patch can interfere with themes or morphs? I had some freezes and lagging when both this app and Kspec theme were installed, but no such issue when running this app on unthemed CM or using Kspec without this app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
To test, I installed CM with NexTheme and the goodies. Once up, I also added trackball succession and had the clock removed in the upper right-hand corner. For funsies, I tossed the oc/uv/ram kernel as well as a few morphs. Once all was installed, I installed Trackball Alert and let it do its thing to the framework. Upon reboot I have yet to see any slowdowns, quirks, etc.

So sure there is a chance but if it were going to happen, chances are good that it would have happened to me with all the changes I made to the vanilla cm 5.0.5.3 rom.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] karnovaran:
Thanks for taking a look. I'll chalk it up to a bad install and reflash.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nDrg:
I think we all agree that we don't mind waiting longer to get a more polished app, take all the time you need :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unixseb:
i can't apply the cm5 patch even if i choose to bybass stock framework detection, it always end with something like "cyanogen rom is not stock" , it is i think because i modded the stock cyano rom with a theme, but should'nt it work even with this when the bypass option is checked ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
That is a bug and is fixed in 1.0.1 hitting market this morning.

Upgraded to 1.0.1 and no probs...everything works great, as it should !
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Thanks for confirming that.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SubyWill:
everything works great here. i hope you add gtalk with the pro version :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
I would do so if I were not such an idiot.

1.0.1 works perfectly and as expected.

And my logs would show you this... as they showed me. When the problem is the user there is very little the developer can do.

I apologise for even suggesting your work was less that perfect! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
that will be done for sure- i have it going on my pro version- and lilH3rmit is including all my notifications into the template (although i am sure gchat was one of the first he did :D ).

Beta2 is even better than the first beta. works great- not far from release i reckon- not sure how lilH3rmit feels about this but I think he wants to get it out there soon too.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Yeah I think we will be ready for a release on Monday/Tuesday. Want to put a new beta out tomorrow/Sunday after design changes to the "news" system meant significant changes to the feed and code. Beta testers expect broken/unreadable news items tomorrow as I work on the xml feed.

Also going to rewrite a section from beta2, works but don't think it will stand up to the test of time ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Pro release tomorrow

I can confirm that the Pro version will be on market tomorrow. App 99% done, little bit of tidying to do, and adding apps now to the database.

Great app, thank you.

Can anyone clarify how to release the white notification so only the specified colours are used, e.g. when an sms comes in, I get a single coloured flash then just white.

Also, patch isn't working on my desire rom (r21) but the application is, will this cause me problems?

Ta'
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zidane:
does this work with 5.0.6 test2?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
The desire flash is a little hack at the moment because as you might be aware the actual HTC Desire does not have a color trackball. Regarding the patch, this is only for Cyanogen. Whose Desire ROM are you running?

No only release versions of Cyanogen are supported.

How can I change the settings for NewsRob?

Currently it flashes blue but I want to change it to a different colour. Is there a way to intercept it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
You can add manually or I can add to the database.

You will need the packagename and the notify id, to get these turn of framework debugging wait for a notification. Then press the "send debug email" option and just added "please add newsrob" to the email and I'll add it.

I would rather add to the database that way everyone can add it later. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
They co-exist, but Trackball Alert Pro setting will take priority.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] redmongoose:
Done and Done.

Thanks a lot for you quick response.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Ok added newsRob under the category news. I've not used it would you say "New article" is the best description for the alert?

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Arcarsenal:
Just purchased your awesome app. Thanks for the hard work. Now that I can assign alerts to any app ever, I was wondering if there was a good list of custom RGB values that work on the Nexus One?

I've been creating colors in Photoshop, but when I use the same RGB settings in creating an alert I notice that the colors are not as distinct as they are on the PC color mixer. I understand it's probably a limitation of the LED to mix the colors. Anyone have any tips or some distinct custom colors they would like to share?

Could you possibly add Google Voice notification support? Google Voice currently supports LED notifications, but does not allow the user to change the color or flash rate of the notification.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mayday_XL:

REQ: HTC's "Work Email" for exchange e-mail, Twicca, default Facebook app, and +1 for Google Voice

Don't think I can enable framework debug since I'm running 5.0.6t2, was just playing with the settings for when it will work on 5.0.6 and noticed these I needed... Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] agriff:
Just sent the debug log with alerts from Fring, Astrid, Google Voice, YouMail, SMS Popup...if I did it right. Working on MotoCal in a bit here.

I'd like to put in a request for support for multiple Gmail accounts, different color notifications for each one. I can achieve it now by running the app "Gmail Notifier" from Market. Just use Trackball Alert Pro to select the color for my main Gmail account. Then, in the second Gmail account, I turn off all notifications, within the app. Finally have Gmail Notifier handling the color, sound, and taskbar icon notifications for the 2nd account. Not handling anything for 1st account.

So, can't complain too much because it works, but it would be preferable if Trackball Pro could handle multiple gmail account colors. If anyone can pick apart Gmail Notifier, that would prob be the key to see how to do it. I would but no clue how.

Loving TB Pro a lot. Thanks for the hard work.

App updates

To everyone who emailed me requests for app support, I'll get them done tonight (Got to go work now) :(

Just quickly releasing 1.0.1 which fixes a nice bug/feature (see the change log)

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
why sms popup? That handles colours already and also affords you per-contact sound assignment (as well as popup control).

If Trackball Alert could handle a per-contact colour, I would dump sms popup in a heartbeat but for now, I have to utilize it for having specifics for certain contacts.

It just seems odd to have a 3rd party app (sms popup) installed to take over where the stock mms.apk falls short to then install another app (trackball alert) to control the app used to replace the stock app. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] agriff:
I get your point about SMS Popup, but 1.just trying to add to the app list for TB Alert, and 2. just trying to add more options. I'm sure some smart person out there can figure out a way to combine the alerts of TB Alert and SMS Popup to make it do something that neither app can do by itself. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irajames1176:
I currently bought and am using your Pro version of trackball alert and I'm using Modaco Desire, and I was wondering if there was a way to add the cyan color to Peep, and change the color of the htc calender alerts, and I would really love it if you added eBuddy IM and Google Voice also. Thank you for a great product so far!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I'm currently adding apps but could you try and send me a "debug email" with as many notification in. What I ideally need is is the packagename, notify id and a description of the notification for example

PackageName: com.android.mms

Notify id: 123

Description: New message.

Regarding googlevoice i can see packagename: com.google.android.apps.googlevoice and Notifyid of 1001, what kind of notification is this? Is it always 1001 or does the number change?

Google Voice is not available in the UK so its difficult for me to test.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Can you send me a debug email with peep and htc calendar alerts in and tell me what the event was, for example peep, was it is a new tweet, @mention or Direct message

Is it possible to set different trackball color for GTalk in Pro version?

With the free version the alerts are fixed, so you cant use Gtalk. Gtalk is in the pro version database.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FastMhz:
Question about the notifications.

So I got a an email (red) and text (green) but when the trackball lights up. it only flashes GREEN? Is this normal? I was hoping to see green (2 seconds after) red (2 seconds after) green.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
That will be the reason, Trackball Alert patches the framework.jar of the ROM, obviously the arabized version is different. You could try the option to "bypass framework check" however I can't guarantee it will a) work b) not break the rom altogether. If you do try it would recommend doing a nandroid backup first.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
This is normal, for the functionality you describe it is Trackball in succession you want in addition to Trackball alert.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zidane:
sounds a bit too risky

i guess i'll just flash cyan 5.0.6 release, and find another way to get arabic.

thanks for the quick response!

thanks for your help!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Ok checking your logcat data, you framework.jar md5 is totally different. I just redownloaded cm5.0.6 and the framwork.jar is different to the one you have. I also downloaded the arabized on and the framework.jar matches the cyanogen one. So when we solve this problem the arabized version will work ok

Are you downloading cm5.0.6 from the offical site? Are you doing a wipe first?

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zidane:
yeah, downloading from the official site.

i did a wipe when i came from 5.0.5.3 (it was working fine on that version)

then after the wipe, flashed 5.0.6 arabized, didnt work.

and then after that just a couple of minutes ago like you recommended, i just flashed cm 5.0.6 official without a wipe over the arabized CM ROM.

p.s. would any applied morphs have a chance of modifying that framework?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
the morphs could be the problem. Can you just try, wipe, install official CM5.0.6 and the try patch CM5 via Trackball Alert before installing any mods/morphs.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zidane:
ok, i will get back to you as soon as i do a wipe.

thanks again!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zidane:
ok i guess it was the morphs!

all works well now!

thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
No problem glad you got it sorted, looking at the Arabized ROM I'm confident that will patch too.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zidane:
i setup my phone doing one thing at a time and testing the trackball alert app

i found what caused the app to not work

its when i flashed this to get the black bar

EDIT: can i push the framework.jar from the official cyan 5.0.6 after flashing that black desire notification bar so then i can get trackball alert working?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zidane:
i just did a full wipe again and flashed the arabized rom. and the app did not work

so i guess whats stopping the app to work is the arabizer or any other arabic support might be changing the framework

Your correct the frameworks are different, not sure what I did wrong lastnight when I checked. Must have been tired ;)

Sorry to have wasted your time.

I have a problem with the meebo and Twicca Notification. My trackball lights up but I actually don't have any notifications. Does someone got the same problem? It also happens with twidroid for many people as far as I know.

I added them with the simple template and started Twicca and it immediately started flashing but I haven't had any new tweets / Notifications. Same with meebo and twidroid but twidroid was added by default.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I have to say I did experience this once or twice during early development but not seen it since. Would like to get more feedback, anyone?

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
The only thing I could think off is that meebo has an ongoing function in the tray, and it changes icon based on availability . Could be the person's data connection turning on/off and setting off a notification.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
I also ran into this adding a simple template, twice now. Did a TEST and the trackball just keeps flashing even when I exit the app. Reboot solves. Not that big a deal tho :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Not a big deal maybe, a bug is a bug ;) I think you are describing something different to patrick, he is getting flashing out of the blue, where there is no new tweet.

Next time you get this, can you retry the "test alert" and wait a little longer before pressing ok. I just checked the code and "Test Alert" actually cancels all active notifications so should halt any flashing.
