[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
This would be possible in a future version however it is different to what you saw gmail do. Because after the notification has been set you can only cancel it, not change it settings like turn off trackball. So cancelling it would stop the trackball and also get rid of the notification icon.

So what you are looking for is a tickbox that says disable flash which would give the same effect as setting "black" on rgb sliders?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Oh, I wasn't aware you could do "black", is that in the pro version only?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
You can, in a hack type way, turn on rgb sliders and set to black. Yes this is pro version only.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] watercool:
Setting to custom color and then do not choose one is black too I think.

So you have no control to the trackball color after initializing it what I understand? Otherwise we could change it to black after a certain amount of time instead of canceling.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
That is correct once the notification has been set, the only control you have is cancel.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Okay cool, I didn't realize I was in the pro thread. I'll be grabbing your app this week though. :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
So... would it be possible to implement cancel after a user defined time period?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] watercool:
No I think not without canceling the notification too
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
It would not be high on my feature list plus this would cancel the whole notification ie the icon and read-intent.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Oh dear, do you accept bribes to elevate priority? :)

I'd actually live with total notification cancel (after a time period) if that meant I could cancel the pulse. My logic is that if I set it manually to cancel, I'm responsible for my own reminders.

Just generally the ability to cancel notifications after a time period would be good. Not really core to your app but it's also not a big leap.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
It is actually quite a big leap, this would have to go into services and would have to use alarms to try to avoid using wakelock.

The whole landscape of android is currently changing and there is a heap of work ahead. That is all I'm saying :p

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] watercool:
Just a last idea here to this issue:

Only the last notification color is shown if there are multiple notifications, right?

What about creating a fake notification in black with a time trigger as soon as a "real" one is created?

Edit: hm for this a wakelock or alarm is needed too I think...)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Yeah I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve though ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jonahs:
I did a quick search but didn't find anything useful.

Has anyone requested a feature that would disable Trackball Alert altogether during specific periods in time? Or a disabling function when the phone sound is off?

I'd like to be able to turn off the notifications at night because it has a tendency to wake me up in the middle of the night at times. :)

I'm not sure but I think when I've inserted the phone in the desktop dock, not using the Trackball Alert app (uninstalled), and I turn off the sound and tap the brightness icon on the Clock app, I don't get any trackball notifications. This is the way I'd like Trackball Alert to behave too.

Thank you for an awesome app in all other respects! As long as Google does not implement this natively, you'll hopefully make some money out of it. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
I need exactly the same functionality and achieve the same outcome with Setting Profiles from the market... no notications by time of day and dock state.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] segfault82:
sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a way to have the app cycle through all the current notification colors? currently it only flashes the color for the first notification that was received even if there are others.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] torchedlh:
Anyway of getting this to work on stock (but rooted) froyo?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I'm looking to implement a locale plugin therefore you will be able to do much more sophisticated conditions.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
You need a de'odexed "stock" rom and then my update.zips posted a few pages back.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Just found NexusTrackBallSwitcher on the market, it's free and does the time period thing you're looking for.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gelsbern:
Ok, I have done everything short of sacrificing a live chicken.

Obviously stock rom gets patched OK.

If I install the "garbled text" patch my phone works fine, but TBA Pro gives the "not stock cyanogenmod" error.

If I turn on "Bypass framework check" your software patches, but then the phone never boots.

Can we please get a fix for TBA Pro? Doing so would save the life of a chicken. :)

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I was offering a test version earlier in the thread, please pm me.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
Just a quick thing I noticed. You have Seesmic listed as 'Seemic' (missing the second s). Just a typo but thought I'd point it out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Thanks, fixed!

I am not getting Gmail intercepted. It seems to work ok for everything else but my gmail is still green even though I have it set to yellow. I am on CM5.0.8
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] legolas.w:
Hi,

Is there any copy if this application for Android 2.2? There are some other software like Blink but they does not work half good compare to track ball alert I was using on CM.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
search back in the thread, a few pages. I posted update.zip for deodexed Froyo Roms. (Stock can't be supported)

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Send me a debug info email from within the app. Turn on framework debug first and wait for an email to come in.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
OK, it's on the way (my email is my xda username at gmail.com).

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bewA:
are there any new features up and coming on tbap? :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Thanks received, your problem is your framework is either not patched or has been overwrote.

Try the Patch CM5 option again.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Yes there are some in the works. ;) Bit slow during the World Cup :confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
Ah! I did have to install a CM patch to fix corrupt text on the Kindle app (http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=1663#c35). That may have caused the problem. If I try to re-run your patch now it says it is not patchable :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Yes that will kill it.

You could try the bypass framework check option to re-flash

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
Ok doing that now (having nandroided first ;) )

EDIT: Ok, well it worked but now I have the same fault with the Kindle app. All the text is garbled again. Is there a way you could include the fix in that patch into your patch?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bewA:
nice :)

Understanable really! but now England are out there's no point :)

apart from watching Japan (my sweepstake at work) and maybe brazil and argentina for entertainment factor :)

If you need a keen beta tester let me know :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I'm working on it, some people have been testing one I made weeks ago, but its bootlooping. I'm not seeing that here, my update.zip works for me and fixes garbled text. But I'm investigating further.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Ok If you PM me I'll give you a link to a new test version.

Edit: To clarify this test version is a update.zip which includes the garbled text fix and TrackballAlert support in one, it is not a test app.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sal87:
how about being able to change how fast it flashes
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
Already possible... or what do you mean?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vesper76:
multiple notifications/colors

Someone asked this a couple of pages ago, but I didn't see an answer, so...

Is there a way to enable multiple notifications to show multiple (different) color flashes? For example, if I have both new email and new SMS, I would like the trackball to alternate between red and blue flashes. That way I can tell just by glancing at the trackball exactly what type of new stuff I have.

Running: Nexus One, CyanogenMod, TbAPro.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
lilhermit: I just purchased the app. I have a question regarding the Official Twitter app.

Inside the app I have it set to notifify me only for mentions/direct messages. When I load up the twitter option inside TA, I get three options. Do I add metions and direct messages seperately, or do I add the third option of tweets/mentions/dms. If I do the third will TA respect the settings from inside of Twitter(onlhy notify for mentions/dms).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Yes it will respect the twitter settings, all it does is allows you to set the color for all three in one alert rather than adding them separately and setting the same.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
CM5.0.8 framework with garbled text fix!

Having been testing by a number of people I'm confident its ok.

Hi, this works like a charm for me too.

Many thanks lilHermit !

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] danimar1:
Will we need another specific update.zip for FRF85B? A stock de-odexed FRF85B rom has now appeared and the only thing holding me off is not knowing if I would lose Trackball Alert by using it :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fabioccoelho:
Thanks, works fine with r20 custom rom.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] danimar1:
I can confirm it works perfectly on FRF85B stock de-odexed rom.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Unquestionable:
lilHermit, I've bought this application, though I accidentally canceled it once before buying it again as I've mentioned earlier in this thread. Now when finally switching to a ROM that once again supports this app I can't authorize it due to it thinking that the order still is canceled.

What do I do now?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] erikiksaz:
I just installed your program and it's wonderful, but I've got the same question as the quoted person above me. Would be so fortunate as to see this coming as an update?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] torchedlh:
Would this not work with Trackball Notification in Sucession?:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=640179&page=49
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] erikiksaz:
Just took a look look in the thread, I don't think it works with froyo.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vesper76:
Yes, I did some more searching after my post and came across "Trackball Notification in Succession". It does seem to do the trick. (I can't figure out how to get to its options, but that's another matter...)

Thanks for the link. Hopefully this will help the other people who asked.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sal87:
or should i say how fast it blinks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
Yes... set "flash rate"
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
You need to enter the new order number not the original cancelled one.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
The trackball alert rgb 0, 0, 0 isn't working to kill the trackball color with the built in email on CM5.0.8.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Does the test flash "Black"?

I will implement a new feature to disable the flash, but this will take time as it requires framework changes too.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
It tests properly yeah, but when an email comes it flashed green.

Does the email.apk from cm have a different uid than the aosp email.apk?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
No but it has a different package name to the FroYo one. Send me a Debug info email with framework debug on after you have received an email.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MicroMod777:
Any patch for CM6-Alpha1 Froyo?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
No and probably not going to be, I'll support it when it more stable.

Trying to get on with new features, the most important for me is the new patching engine. This will enable me to support more roms and more versions, without the the need to distribute update.zips. The new patching engine will support more than Cyanogen and will also include test releases plus alternative configs.

Teaser: Multiple patches per ROM, ie Cyanogen 5.0.8 (standard) and Cyanogen 5.0.8 (with Trackball insuccession) so you can choose which you want.

(Just as two examples)

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
This sounds great :cool::cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MicroMod777:
Sounds good. From what it seems the way Froyo keeps updating every few days, a new patching engine is definitely a good idea. Something that could just patch any rooted ROM and push the code needed to get your Trackball Alert to work.

That would be awesome!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bewA:
ooo!!!

insucession sounds great! much better than blending! :D

Me glad i purchased :D

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
suggestion

sorry to clutter up the thread but i thought you were the guy to contact.

i have purchased this s/w when i had nexus one.

now i have a samsung galaxy s sand there is a need for something similar on their.

there is no trackball but there are backlights on the integrated buttons on the bottom of the phone.. if you could come up with an app to pulse those (no colors unfort.) for sms , email or phone notifications.. i think you could sell many copies..

thanks

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Send me a free Galaxy and I'll do it. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Huuhaha :D ..there´s no other answer!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
Ok, I spoke to soon about this. It keeps causing a problem with the camera and video playback. When using the camera it keeps flicking black as if the camera app is constantly restarting. If I try to shoot video it does this too and kills the recording.

When playing back video it does a similar thing, stutters playing.

I re-patched using the one in the app (forcing it to not detect my version) and that fixed the problem so it is definitely that test framework that is the problem.

I can live with the garbled text for now, it only affects Kindle for me and I barely use that.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] alkasber:
I buyed TA Pro and I'm using RoDrIgUeZsTyLe ROM (V3.1 FRF91) and when I start TA I get "Warning compatible ROM not detected!!" but on RoDrIgUeZsTyLe post he says that TA works with his rom.

Is there anything I have to do?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Simply ignore the message, it works fine.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I was going to concur with you as I was see USB mount option not working and camera FCs. However I pushed back original CM508 framework.jar and libandroid_runtime.so, tested and ok. Flashed the patch from cyanogenmod forum and tested ok. Flashed my update.zip over the top and tested ok.

I'll keep an eye on it.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
Hmm, I seem to be having the same problem with the normal version now :(

It's not as frequent but is still happening. It also seems to casue other odd behaviour like closing the app drawer and jumping to the top of emails etc

I'll try as you suggested, start with standard framework and patch my way back up
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tip.deep:
I have a problem with the widget Pure Messenger. It uses its own email client (a modification of the official K9 client)

I setup TA for flashing red every 5 seconds when receiving a mail.

But for an unknown reason, it flashes magenta every second, it's very strange...

Do you know why ?

tks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sodori:
Android FRF85B updated with your fix and isn't working. Trying to keep up with the forums but really hard words are being mentioned here, can you work on the update and have it fixed for me? Or are you bisy with next generation trackball that will work on it or... yea.. I love trackball alert xD
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Please send me a debug info email from within the app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crimsondr:
Well I finally decided to fix the problem with Astrid notifications. The signature provided by TBA is wrong. I just changed the id to [0-9]* and it now works.

The way TBA is designed it should be able to change the colour for any notification as long as the signature is correct.

lilhermit, would it be possible to store the notifications in a DB that can be used through the frontend when setting up notifications? That would save the hassle of using logcat...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I had considered that, I'm just conscious of avoiding system slowdown. Can you add it to the issue tracker under feature request. (url in footer)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] J.L.C.:
I'm currently using TB Alert, but would like to move to TB Alert Pro (for GTalk)...

But, I also plan on moving to CM6 when it's released. Is TB Alert Pro likely to work with CM6?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Yes once CM6 moves to a more stable footing, certainly not whilst its in alpha!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Now there is a nice comment:

What a idiot, bought the app and emailed me saying "Doesn't work? ??? Refund money"

I replied, "it does work, do you have a custom rom as detailed in market?"

<rant>

The comment system on market is really bad, the developer should have the right to reply. :mad: Very bad form from Google, they want new Devs but treat the user as King. </rant>
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
Read my comment bwhaha.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
:) I like it, thanks. The more people that post positive comments the better. (nudge, hint, wink)

I would never consider myself as rude. :confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nDrg:
I wouldn't worry about it, they'll only bring you down to their very low level. I often go through several of my paid apps and mark unhelpful/stupid comments as such, I guess thats what happens when you deal with the general public :confused:

P.s. I'm under as Niall on the market :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I wouldn't say I'm worried, it just annoys me that bad comments like that can sit at the top of the list. However it give me heart that people do go through the comments of their apps (not just paid because the free ones still need respect).

thanks!!!

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I'm working on a new framework altogether which enables more features to be implemented, it will also be tied into the app more.

I've got a long line of code to complete

New Framework requires -> new patch system -> required TAP v1.2.

So I think I'll work towards CM6 support when its released maybe before if I get all my code done.

How did u get it to work???? Im dying here without it thats my favorite thing about my notifications!!!! help please i have cm6 rc1
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jjss75:
crap sorry didnt get back to you earlier.

the only thing i can think of is to get into cyan settings and enable pulse notif.

i just used micromods red theme and obviously extracted with metamorph, just as he explained at the top.

hope u got it working by now, sorry to get back late:(

_edit

forgot to tell you, i erased all backups for trackball and trackball pro, re-dl, then followed instructions when trackball said patch cyan5.

i did, and just started working!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
you are on CM5, is that right?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jjss75:
no actually on the new cm6

and i just started up trackball alert, and it still says "not compatible"

..? i guess im just lucky.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
maybe your metamorphing described earlier pushed the CM5 framework.jar, so you are running CM6, but with CM5 framework (wouldn't know whether that would be possible at all).

current TAP only works with CM5 framework.jar
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I would think the above is most possibly correct.

Trackball Alert does not currently support CM6-RC1, I am testing it now but CM6-RC1 is still very buggy.

I would urge people to be careful installing mods from CM5 onto CM6 as the frameworks are not compatible.

Trackball Alert checks first to make sure your rom is compatible to avoid being blamed for your bootloops :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jjss75:
i see that totally makes sense. well please advice everyone not to try.

somehow worked by enabling cyan settings to pulse trackball but as @lilhermit adds it's still way too buggy. thanks for the input. learned something today.
