I hear you but I really can't be bothered with the CyanogenMOD guys, there are too many egos. It was ok when it was Cyanogen he was very approachable, now its just crazy.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I've uploaded new frameworks to the patch system for MoDaCo r21, use semi-automatic patch.

Also uploaded patches for CM5.0.8 users, yes there are still many! :D

All these frameworks support NightMode.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] persiansown:
Rommanager source code is available to us. The APK is free and it doesn't it install useless DRM on the system.

And egos? rofl.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
But Rom Manager works... the trackball LED functionality in CM6 does not... quite a stark contrast there really.

The CM6 led functionality is a significant regression in functionality and stability for existing TA Pro users which makes us all very grateful that lilHermit is providing the required patches. Ultimately it's disappointing that for one reason or another the wheel has been reinvented... and it's a little wobbly...

I enjoy CM6 and I prefer Trackball Alert... let's just see if we can all get along... the internet is fuelled by egos... :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] the orange bandit:
When I try to patch r21, it says it can't identify my ROM or whatever, both with automatic and semi-automatic. I have to use the manual one, but again, I'm unsure of which patch to use. :-\
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
It is probably unrecognised due to the kitchen options you choose. It recognised the "withadditions" that I downloaded yesterday. (r21-update-nexusone-modacocustomcustomrom-withadditions-signed.zip)

If you use manual patch, please nandroid/backup first. I would suggest using the recommend patch which is "starred". (TA Framework version:v23)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] summer_love:
You're my new favourite person. Thank you!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Stea1thmode:
Thanks for the new update hermit, it's actually working properly;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] apollostees:
I'd appreciate if anyone could help me add beyondpod's (my RSS reader) alert to TBA pro.

So far I have found the "Sender PackageName".

It came up as: [mobi.beyond ] notifyId: 128 and somethimes 129.

So I entered the match patteren as mobi.beyondpod:[128-129],

however it didn't flash anything when beyondpod made notifications.

Finally I used regex to check what I entered. It said:

"bad regex patteren provided: syntax error U_REGEX_INVALID_RANGE near index 18: mobi_beyondpod:[128-129]"

To be honest I don't even know what this means.:p Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
If your using the latest version and framework you should be able to use Add New -> Captured notification. If you tap on package name it add it as a wildcard, or switch to "Show all" from menu then long press you can add the exact match.

But a working regex would be:

mobi.beyondpod:12[89]

or

mobi.beyondpod:[0-9]*
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] apollostees:
Cool a response from the man himself.:D

I applied the code you gave me and my Beyondpod alert is working perfectly. Thanks for the fast response, it makes me glad I bought this app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] alextripp:
I already asked this once, but is there a way to make the trackball flash different colors for different people when recieving an sms? I have a few people that I would like it to flash different colors for. I am currently using handcent sms.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
It can't be done with Trackball Alert Pro alone. The id sent with the notification needs to be different depending on the contact, however I'm not sure what app does that. Maybe another user could chime in with advice.

v1.2.7 on Market

Includes

Adds NightMode Dim option

Adds Desktop Dock functionality options: Normal, Dimmed or Off

Full changelog here
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crachel:
Really appreciate you adding the dock functionality, lilHermit. I have been using Tasker, but its much more preferably to handle all my trackball needs within TAP. Will be testing tonight, i think the "Dimmed" setting is going to be what I use..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pwvandeursen:
Hi all,

I used to be a happy user of TAP. I have currently installed cm6, and know there are alot of issues between TAP and CM6.

However in my case I can't even get it to work. when testing the led will only flash once, and in use most of the time it won't even flash at all.

I have tried a couple of things (except for a full wipe, which I would like to avoid...)

went back to stock patch rebooted and applied v23.

checked to make sure TAP is in the phone not on SD.

reinstalled TAP

All unfortunately without success. Whom can help me to get the awesome app working again.

Thanks

Patrick
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
The single flash is 99% of the time, the Pulse Notification Light Setting in Android Setting -> Sound (this must be ticked)

If this does not solve please send me a debug info email, having turned on Framework Debug and waited for a notification.

~

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pwvandeursen:
Worked like charm! Did I miss this somewhere in your instructions? Ifnot maybe good to add it....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Not really but for some reason since froyo that setting has been randomly unset. I keep meaning to add to the FAQ, I'll do it tomorrow ;)

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] XZQ't:
lilHermit,

I still confused about how CM6's notification and Trackball Alert Pro working together.

This is what I did

1.

CM6 without TAP

, set color for PingChat(Blue) -- the trackball pulse fine, but sometime it doesn't stop pulse even if i open PingChat and read those message.

2.

CM6 with TAP

, Just download & install TAP yesterday, set color in TAP for Pingchat(Blue) -- trackball pulse fine but same symptom still exist.

3.

CM6 with TAP

, Turn off alert in CM6 option for PingChat to 'None' . TAP setting for PingChat remain 'Blue'. -- Trackball doesn't pulse anymore !

4.

CM6 with TAP

, Turn on alert in CM6 option for PingChat(Blue), Enable Succession option . TAP setting for PingChat remain 'Blue'. -- Trackball pulse normally

Now the question,

1. Do I need to turn the option color in CM6 to the same color as setting in TAP to get trackball pulse properly ?

2. What if I set color in CM6 difference from TAP , is it gonna work at all? and which one control the pulse color ? CM6 or TAP ?

Thank you
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Have you applied the patch? The patch removes most CM6 Trackball functionality other than succession.

Answers

1) No the CM6 color settings will be ignored

2) see above.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] XZQ't:
I applied patch using automatic method. But I can confirm that setting alert of PingChat to 'None' in CM6 Setting->User Interface->LED Notification result in no pulse at all.

However, change from 'None' to other colors enable trackball pulse, regardless of which color, it pulses by the color set in TAP as you mentioned.

Maybe this is PingChat issue, but maybe you can double check if it is really TAP issue with CM6 setting.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Can you send me a Debug info Email from within the app!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] XZQ't:
Sent ! Thank you !
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Ok I can confirm that setting to Color=None in CM6 setting will kill the trackball. I will fix this in a future patch but normal rule of thumb is don't touch app setting in CM6 other than enabling Succession if required.

Edit: New patch live!

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PeRRiiN:
Hello lilHermit,

I have a question..

I'm running Cm6 stable on my nexus one. I downloaded TAP and patched it right away using the automatic option. Everything went good but I just noticed that after patching it, when I connect my phone to the computer it no longer shows 'usb connected' and 'usb debugging' on the notification bar. It also no longer takes me to that screen on my phone where I can turn usb on so I can transfer stuff to my sd card. I have to manually go to settings and toggle 'usb debugging' off and back on again so it can take me to that screen.

Is there something I can do to make it the way it was before?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Can confirm this, have removed v23c from patch system, will investigate.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PeRRiiN:
Thank you.

I'll keep an eye on this thread.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Ok I've uploaded v23d.

I messed up when I uploaded the patch, wrong debug framework was used and new services. The framework should have not changed from v23b ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PeRRiiN:
Thank you very much.

How would I go about it though?

Should I just open the app and choose the automatic patch again?

Nandroid restore to where I didn't had the patch, then patch it with the new one?

Thank you again lilHermit.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Just do automatic or semi-automatic and it should be good. It should recognise your running v23b and offer you v23d (if you do semi)

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PeRRiiN:
It worked great.

I appreciate it!

Evil NXSense 1.20

hey everybody

i am using evil's NXSense ROM 1.20, it does state to be supported by trackball alert but somehow I cannot make it work

trackball alert (or pro, since i have bought the pro version months ago) is not working for me, it is always white color und slow blinking rate

i did try to install the framework (although manually, since automatic does not recognise the rom) in trackball alert pro, but still no luck

any solution would be greatly appreciated, this would make the rom perfect for me

thanx
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Hi,

This ROM is pre-patched so no need to use the patch system. I have just installed the ROM and tested ok.

Did you wipe prior to installing? Also what is not working, (sms, email etc)?

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Bidshelf:
I uninstall TBA from this room, but the trackball alert keeping to blink in green and high blink rate.

Is there a way to completely remove TBA and back to stock color and blink rate?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
If you uninstall TAP the colour of and rate of the trackball will not be altered from stock.

What app is blinking green and fast?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ayman07:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
possible to have the color wheel AND RGB silders???
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
:D +1 I wish both of these apps/mods could be incorporated. I'd pay a small price for it on the apps store!! ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Any one seeing FCs on this new version?

Getting lots of reports on the free version thread.

What to narrow it down to the free version only.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dictionary:
Working ok here so far for me @lilHermit.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DreamScar:
New version seems to be working fine. It would be nice to have something in the color wheel to show where you've pressed. Also the color in the center doesnt seem to correspond to what the trackball flashes.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bmcclure937:
What does it mean when you say "ability to change flash color"?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
your trackball blinks white when it alerts you of "stuff". This gives you the ability to alter what colour the alerts are.

Say you get a new email, it can blink green.

Say you get a new text msg, it can blink red.

Say you get a new voicemail, it can blink yellow.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AndyCr15:
But the free version does this, right?

Is there a list of supported apps somewhere? (Sorry, on my phone so i haven't checked thee whole thread :-( ) Tweetcaster for example?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Supported Apps in pro version

Nice idea actually, I'll create a page tomorrow which pulls a friendly list of categories and apps. For now this a list I just manually created.

I'm just trying to upgrade and I'm getting insufficient storage and I've got just over 100mb free!

Any suggestions? :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
That's a strange one! What ROM are you running, are you using App2SD?

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] balders27:
If u have backed up using Titanium upgrade titanium and try again? I had same problem but latest copy works OK. U will need to uninstall Trackerball re install with Titanium backup with latest vertion of Titanium then update in the Market.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
any chance of the backup feature soon? Got myself a new sd card and when i transfered all my stuff over i had to uninstall and reinstall TA pro- lost all my settings :( a backup feature would be awesome.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Monty-boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My old mate, I have a beta for you soon ;) Unfortunately not with the feature you want ;) I'll explain over pm within the next 48hours. Please be assured your export/import settings is on my list, just more important things cropped up.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Roxy:
Hello lil hermit :) thank you for the awesome application! I bought the pro version in the market just now ^_^
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SubyWill:
can you add the AIM app? :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] supersquishy:
I did a full wipe prior to installing the NXSense Rom.

Still all trackball alerts are like the stock pre-froyo ones: only white and slow blinkrate

For example, when I go to the TA settings for messaging, I can choose any color and any blink rate, but when I hit "test" it will still only be white and slow rate

I have flashed the "networkfix.zip" from Evil's links since my had network issues like calls being interrupted after a few seconds. could this

have messed up the framework?

Also I have patched DT Apps2SD.

In short, it does always blink, but never another color than white and never any other rate than slow.

thanks lilhermit :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Bidshelf:
G-Mail is one of then
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Gmail defaults to green anyway, which is why I asked.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Not sure what to say, i've installed the ROM from stock and it works ok. Can you wipe and test TA before installed networkfix.zip and apps2Sd? Then test at each stage?

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] supersquishy:
I will try reinstalling the ROM w/out network fix.

Will post results.

Thanx
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] miruku:
notification in succession?

Hi, I just flashed eVIL's NXSense v1.20, Trackball Alert works fine, but just don't know how to have notification in succession. Is it a function only for the PRO version or the ROM doesn't support notification in succession? Cheers!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
That feature is only in CM6 don't know of any Sense ROM with it.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pwvandeursen:
Well I ticked the sound option in settings and that kick tap and succession alive. the only problem now is that that setting is not permenent. Every time I reboot I have to tick the option again.... any ideas?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
No idea whatsoever, I've heard of the setting turning itself randomly but not every reboot.

What ROM are you running?

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Bidshelf:
As far as I known default stock color for all trackball alerts are white.

Anyway the default stock blink rate is very low, and not to fast like green light blink.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pwvandeursen:
I'm using cm6 latest stable version
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pwvandeursen:
Still having the issue....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
My reply went missing! Can you revert to stock framework via the patch system and confirm if that fixes the setting not sticking.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
Hi lilHermit, I have some problem with TBA and Ebuddy. I added Ebuddy to the list by using it's captured notification, but everytime I go into Ebuddy, the trackball lights up even when I'm not receiving any notification. The color I set is correct but it just lights up whenever I go into Ebuddy and the only way to turn it off is to go into the notification bar.

This does not happen with other apps like emails, sms.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
This is an issue with ebuddy and some other chat clients, its because they don't actually cancel the notification (it always stays in the bar) all the app does is blank the message.

Meebo is effected by the same issue although it manifests itself differently.

I'm considering a hacky fix but need to make sure it does not make other stuff.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
Ah ok, thanks for the reply!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
MIUI support

If anyone is using or thinking of trying MIUI then TA support has been added for 0.9.24 via patch system.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nDrg:
Cheers bud, just what I was looking for :)

Edit: Any plans for 0.9.29/30 support? I think that from the 15th of October they'll be releasing one version each Friday, which should hopefully make it easier for you to patch.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Hey lilhermit have you sifted through the g2 rom now that it's confirmed to have a lighted ring around the trackpad?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cyberspaced:
Hi lilHermit,

Nice one, was waiting for your Patch for MiUi, but I'm really missing succession, tried to flash the services05 succession patch but "E:update script not found"

Will you include succession, if at all possible?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I've been told the lighted ring is white only! :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Unfortunately I don't think I will be due to the frequency of the releases.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I'm downloading the deodex'ed 0.9.30 now and will upload asap. Maybe someone could ask them to compile in the opensource framework?

Edit: Ok 0.9.30 is live, have to tested but can't see why it won't work. Can someone confirm?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Hollow.Droid:
Thanks for this, your work and app are much appreciated!

Edit: It works perfect, thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cyberspaced:
I can confirm that TAP works on MIUI 0.9.30, no succession though :p

As always, great work lilHermit!!

EDIT: The Charging LED is not working after patching MIUI. So far the only bug I could find.

EDIT: I have reported the issue :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tnicko:
Yup, same here.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I can confirm this is now fixed and uploaded (v23a). Basically my aosp diffs are not compatible, they have made a lot of changes to NotificationManagerService. I manually hacked it this time.

Once again confirmation would be great.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cyberspaced:
Dear lilHermit,

I can confirm that the charging LED is back and that the USB debugging icon in the notification also works now, wasen't sure yesterday if it was the TAP patch or just MIUI....... but now all looks good ;) ( apart from succession... yes, yes I know, but can't blame me for trying :p )
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Succession will be very hard having just realised the extent they have changed NotificationServiceManager (which is where succession lives). But +1 for trying ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] yiannit:
Im getting api call failed. Check network connection error

When trying to patch
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cyberspaced:
That means the you did not have internet connection at the time you started the app. Check your connection and try again!! ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
yiannit: As cyberspaced said it means the app can't find the server, sometime this is a routing issue so maybe try your 3G connection rather than your wireless or vice versa.

If the G2 does have Multicoloured Trackball ring then I'll invest in a US mirror ;)

Just bought TBAP today and running MCR r24 as Paul states inbuilt compatibility.

'Warning - Nexus One Required' is displayed when starting the app.

Every missed notification is flashing green.

Any tips ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
You can ignore that message, that is because the Phone is being reported as Desire, I might remove that message altogether.

It should be working can you send me a debug info email?

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Its not my own ROM, that is for certain ;)

Basically its a new patch option "Smali Patch", this will upload your framework and services jar and patch them on the fly and return for installation on your handset.

This will allow non supported ROMs to be patch, also it will save me patching multiple version of MIUI etc

And yes it will support CM6 nightlies. :)

Also it will cache files so if someone has already uploaded a framework.jar for MIUI 0.9.30 (for example) then it will serve from the cache without uploading.

how do i get the logcat with mac?

tried it several times with ./adb-mac logcat -s ledParams:*

But no luck.

I'd like it to set my allerts properly...

please any help

thx a lot
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
You should not need logcat any more as Pro now captures missed notifications. Add new... -> Captured notification. Clicking will add a wildcard alert or press menu "Show all" and then long press on the notification to add exact alert.

If you need to use logcat you need to add TAframework:* to the end of your command.

Why do i have to validate my purchasing license every time i start the app? Kind of annoying....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
This is not normal however in some case this is happening, I have no idea why! Basically your IMEI which is used to validate the license is coming back blank.

Please send me debug info email and I'll try to sort it (maybe with your help).

sounds good loved the app on the nexus one im sure its there "crosses fingers"
