How much is this gonna be? And it works with every app, or are there caveats? Cause I'll drop the cash if it works with everything.

Also, any luck getting this in CM5 stock or has he still not responded?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Its already released, you can check the response it had got, here on the free version thread post #423 onwards.

This will not be included in CM5 due to legal issues but the app patches CM5 itself assuming you are running recognised releases.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gtrplr71:
does this app work with the breath light setting in cyan 5.0x? any conflicts?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
It works alongside it Trackball Alert / Trackball Alert Pro don't intercept the breather light at all (only notification flashes).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gtrplr71:
thank you will this be patched to 5.0.6t2?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
No only official full releases at the moment.

Who do I post this Market feature request to: (?)

Request:

When uninstalling an app via market, there needs to be another reason for uninstall. New option: I've just ripped off the apk, so please uninstall and refund me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I really can't believe how many people do this just to save £1.99, currently just over 10% of sales are refunded. Wish I could name and shame them. :confused:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Matthew B:
That's a real shame, it's not just people who are too stupid to read the description and buy it before realising it's cyanogenmod only?

If it's any consolation, I rushed to buy it the day it came out even though I can't use it yet (on 5.0.6 test2, and haven't had time to rewind) :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
but they wont get the updates- maybe you need to do an update every week or so and then have it so that when a new CM is loaded it checks the version of the app before patching the framework? or it checks version number before updating database?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] agriff:
I don't think any of us have found the notifyid for incoming calls, as of yet. I think it's some sort of Android secret.

Unrelated, in case anyone wants to use Trackball Alert Pro with the app Sipdroid, here are the alerts I have..

Tested and Working

org.sipdroid.sipua:1 is for a change in the Registration Status of your SIP account. It will be the same notify for "Sipdroid Registered" or "Sipdroid Cannot Register...."

org.sipdroid.sipua:2 is for a Sipdroid Call in Progress, both incoming and outgoing.

org.sipdroid.sipua:3 is for a Missed Call in Sipdroid. (Call on your SIP/VOIP account you have registered in Sipdroid) Not GSM carrier calls

Not verified

org.sipdroid.sipua:4 Can't test with my SIP account but I believe this is for the notification that you have a waiting voicemail on your SIP account.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Opel12:
anyone have match patterns for the dialer app? i'm trying to change the color of the trackball during an incoming call.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] agriff:
Like I wrote before, I don't think the dialer app can be used with TBAPro, at this time. I've tried to log it and can't get it to show anything and clearly it would have been one of the first lilHermit put in the database, if he could have. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Again unrelated, here are the settings for alerts from RoadSync, by DataViz (Exchange/Corporate Email app)

All tested and verified working on my phone

com.dataviz.stargate:2131329023 RoadSync Connected(when you choose the RoadSync icon to be shown in the status bar when it is connected, in Settings)

com.dataviz.stargate:2131263486 New Email Message

com.dataviz.stargate:1262630711 New event (Corp. Calendar)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Opel12:
doesnt it just use com.android.phone though? cause thats what the missed call notification uses.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
It is produced by com.android.phone however it is not a notification, its a attention light and therefore not interceptable.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Opel12:
thats what i thought, but i was told otherwise in the cyanogen mod thread when asking why it had changed since the last update. any idea how i would have to go about changing it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
There has been no change on this, it has never worked. As I said Trackball Alert intercepts notifications and incoming call is not a notification.

Hope that clears things up.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Opel12:
no i understand that trackball alert cant do anything about it, i guess i wasnt clear. i mean in general is there any way to change it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Get a modified version of the phone.apk or recompile it yourself from source. They would be the only way. Although it might be controlled via services.jar thinking about, I do remember reading the code some time ago. I remember there is a "[if bluetooth then] blue [else] white."

Official Twitter app

If someone could send me Logcat data for the official twitter app, would also like to know if it differentiates between tweet, mention or dm.

I would do this myself but my market is broken at the moment all downloads hang at 0% and not had any time to look into it. Still working on the license file system for Trackball Alert Pro so I can get some nice new features incorporated.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Casao:
I'm pulling the mention one, I'll grab dm and tweet in a moment.

Edit:

Mention:

V/ledParams 587: Running mode : Pro

ledParams( 587): Sender PackageName: [com.twitter.android] notifyId: 2

Getting DM and tweet, but I believe they're going to be 3/1 respectively.

DM:

V/ledParams 587: Running mode : Pro

ledParams( 587): Sender PackageName: [com.twitter.android] notifyId: 4

So I guessed wrong, I have no idea if that's a combo of tweet+dm or just DM, since I had both set, trying for just DM and if it's 4 I'll leave it alone.

Yeah, it's 4 for DM, I'm not sure if it notifies for Tweets alone or not, but I'm feeling a little lazy to figure that out at the moment.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
So how do I go about adding the official twitter with Advanced?

I'm new to the pro version. I've read up on the wiki but can't seem to find anything on the logcat.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Thats Cool, I got an email and Tweet was 1.

So if anyone else can tell me different I'll add: 4 alerts

1: Tweet

2: @mention

4: Direct Message

*: New Tweet/Mention/DM

Its good that the app differentiates, not many do.

Edit: thinking further, I'm guessing its bitwise, so Tweet and DM will be 5, Tweet and @mention is 3 etc. I hope not but i'll await feedback.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Casao:
Well the DM one I had 1 new tweet but it didn't mention it in the notification up top, just said DM - I'm thinking DM might override tweet and mention might override DM.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Casao:
The FAQ is simple, but under pattern put:

com.twitter.android:* to catch any notifications. Replace * with a 1 for Tweet, 2 for Mention, 4 for DM, and possibly combinations for multiple, but it's not 100% certain if that's the case. Either way, * will catch all alerts if you want it to, or you can wait a bit for lilHermit to update the DB, at which point they'll show up in Simple.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
I put in com.twitter.android:[0-9]* like twidroid and it's catching new tweets. :)

edit: haven't got any mentions or DMs to test those.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
That's exactly what I'll add for the "catch all" eg Tweets, @mentions and Direct Messages.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
I don't get many mentions and no DMs so catch all is fine for me. :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
you can always DM or mention to yourself if you want to test it- this is how i did it a while ago (and quite a few people stopped following me after that.... wonder why? ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Official Twitter app

Just added Official Twitter App to the database:

New Tweet

New @Mention

New Direct Message

New Tweet/Mention/DM

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lulugirl896:
Thanks for the hardwork on this great app!

Having a problem with eBuddy...I get notification color on my trackball but then it won't go away- every time I turn the screen off, it still pulses the color until I completely log out of eBuddy.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I've removed the Alert for eBuddy from the database whilst I investigate what eBuddy is sending to the Notification system.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Unquestionable:
When I tried to reinstall TBAPRO my phone also automatically refunded it, that might be something that contributes to the high number of refunds that you've previously mentioned. For me the app crashed on the first boot the first time I installed it, which made me unaware of that it hadn't patched CM5.0.6 properly. Only when I reinstalled it did the permissions dialog popup, and in succession, the patching of the framework occur.

The app seems to work great now though. Any plans on implementing the code that allows different notifications to flash in succession?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
you can always use the trackball succession here.

I'm using it with TBA Pro and CM506, tested up to three notifications at the same time and it works.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Unquestionable:
That was the code I was referring too. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Wedgelol:
Hey, first of all I just wanna thank you for this great app. I'm having a small, probably noobish issue. Last night I noticed that the trackball would constantly flash for hours unless the notification is cleared. I've only had my N1 for about 4 days so I'm unsure if this is normal behavior or something that I've done through Trackball Alert.

I tried to search through this thread but couldn't find any similar posts.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
I've seen an app called "Nexus Trackball Switcher" on the market that allows you to turn off the trackball at certain times.

Never used it myself but you could give it a shot.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
This is default behaviour not only for Trackball Alert but also for Android.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] slimfady:
Hi,

Anyone using this on top of NexTheme (For CM5.0.6)?

The app does not detect that I'm running CM5.0.6 and tells me that i'm not running original CM framework.

Will it be safe to patch in this condition?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Bunk:
Well, I just did :)

Will tell you in a minute if it works or not...

[edit]

I started with al clean install of CM506 and NeXTheme. When I started TA it stated that CM was installed and had to be patched (and reboot).

Rebooted the N1 and all seems to be working fine.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Strange I have not heard of any crashing on first run. I am aware of the automatic refunding but genuine purchases rebuy/reinstall and 15% don't do this. ;)

I think this has been answered by someone else.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djdamon:
will this turn breathing light off

when im in a call it flashes...

is there anyway to turn breathing light off :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
No the breathing light is not incepted.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TheMorpheus:
I used this program for months and now it doesn't work anymore!

It says:"CyanogenMod5 detected but not a pachable version!"

I didn't change the version, I've only changed the kernel (I use intersectRaven's kernel). Can this be the problem??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bewA:
I'm using IntersectRaven's Kernel with a problem and TBAPro :)

Have you installed anything lately that would change any framework, can't think of any examples sorry :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
just as bewA said, something has modified your framework, which will a) stop Trackball Alert working and b) prevent it from patching again without the use of Framework check bypass option.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TheMorpheus:
So I have to find what caused this. Not easy... maybe I'll do best re-flash the rom

Testers for v1.1

I need some registered pro users to test v1.1, which is essentially v1.0.3 with license key protection. This version will be the launchpad for all the new features planned.

If anyone is interested please send me a pm indicating so, also please include your google order number.

Re: [APP] Trackball Alert PRO (v1.0.3)

I never remember this app doesn't work with the test builds until after I flash them.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] miketlo:
So I tried using the logcat to intercept a notification but I seemed to have failed to find what I wanted. Does anyone know if the strings contain names/IDs that are on the notifications, so I can set a custom notification for emails/phonecalls from certain people? Help would be appreciated :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Mee to, forgot about that :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Not until CM5.0.7 comes out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
That´s what I thought...so I tested 507t1 for 1 day and went back to 506 :)..can´t live without TA.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
Word me too. Sucks my kernels are going to be for 5.0.7 from now on... decisions, decisions...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I'm working on the new framework tomorrow, its not just a recompile for cm5.0.7. It has speed increase and some ground work for new features.

So I should have a test version if anyone wants either tomorrow or wednesday.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
I think the lil kid inside me just squealed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
I am ready to test :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Namuna:
I've got the CM5.0.7 with pershoot's OC/UV, JIT enabled kernel... Does that qualify me as being someone interested in "testing" stuff? :D

PM with my G.O.# coming your way!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
i am in for the test too! :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] miketlo:
Anyone? :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kingpin003:
I don't think this app is capable of doing that. Have you tried "Missed Call"? It should give you options to do something like that. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
The above is correct as Trackball Alerts works with package names and IDs it would require the app to send the Contact ID through which does not happen.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] KnightMAREcrow:
Why are the comments about registering the app from the market complaining, do they not realize its for anti piracy measures. I marked every comment as spam that complained about the google order number.

I'm sure its not the first time anyone has had to register a product to be used. I for one am happy you found a method to combat the problems rather than turn a blind eye.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crimsondr:
So I see the PRO version supports Calendar and chompSMS.

So with PRO I can set up the trackball to blink on calendar notifications?

I'm not fully understanding why it needs to support chompSMS since it's just the regular SMS. I recently installed the two and tried it and noticed that I do get the SMS trackball notifications with new SMS. But the notification does not turn if I view the SMS in chompSMS, only turns off after viewing in the regular message app. Can you explain why this is?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Point of a market is so people don't have to go elsewhere after getting the application. I can see the validity of the inconvenience.

Pro User and 5.0.7 with per's oc/uv kernal ready to test SIR
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sbromagem:
I purchased the Pro version over 3 weeks ago and I get the pay screen when I tried to update to the latest version (1.1). I've read the FAQ and this forum but am unsure why it's asking me to pay twice? Any thoughts?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I've had this before with one user about 3 weeks ago, really don't know what Google are doing. Please PM your original order number or name and I'll credit that so you can purchase again.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Thanks for that, I'm not sure why people are moaning its a once off deal, it writes the license to your SD card. Google market is so insecure I can see why many devs don't bother. Also I can't comment on the pro app on market as I can't purchase my own app. (which in its self is stupid). Can someone do me a favour and reply to Antonio's comment on market about storing the License on the SD card, this is exactly what the app does. (Although not on the root in the lilHermit dir)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sbromagem:
Ok, PM sent.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] animoo:
Dear Lilhermit! :p

I am interested in the test version, with the same parameters as above;)

thanks in advance!

(can't live without TA in any roms :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I 100% understand the convenience with market and that is why I have kept my app there. However google really needs to do something about the security of market. The purchaser has 24hours to decide if they want it or not and if they uninstall in that time they are not charged. 20% of all purchases are cancelled within minutes of purchase. They are copying off the apk and cancel the order. I've seen a lot of previous cancelled orders rebuying since v1.1 what does that tell you?

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Sorry not had any time to work on framework today, had to do paid consultancy :(

Tomorrow definitely.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] animoo:
It doesn't matter, I can cope with that green email notification light a few days :D

I also never repatched the CM framework after a kernel upgrade or something.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MSigler:
Anyone have it stop working? After the latest update, it no longer seems to work. I had it set up, updated, and now it still is set like I had it before, but no longer works, just get the system default color.

CM 5.0.7, but nothing changed other than updating the app through market. Using pro v1.1
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
It will not work with CM5.0.7, when you installed 5.0.7 you overwrote the framework and TAP would have stopped working. A test framework release for 5.0.7 will be available soon, but not officially released until Cyanogen does so.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Genuine users!

Please can all genuine users of Trackball Alert Pro please update to v1.1.

Older versions will be disabled shortly and also will not be supported by the new framework. This framework will be for CM5.0.7 and also all new MoDaCo ROMS.

There are over 1500 Pro users still using 1.0.3 which will shortly be useless.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
CM5.0.7-test2 framework

Ok here is the test version for CM5.0.7-test2, will be integrated into the app patching system when 5.0.7 is officially released. (if it does see the light of day)
