I assume you do mean the Emaill app and not gmail? Anyone else having problems with Email App?

Turn on framework debug and wait for a notification and the hit the "Email debug info" option.

Edit: Just tried Stock Email and worked fine with me, although its CM5 not MCR R16!

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Email is fixed details below:

Pro Users

What you need to do is:

- Delete "Inbuilt Email" from Trackball Alert Pro

- Add again via Simple method, but choose "Inbuilt Email (Froyo)"

Free Users

I will have to push a new version to Market which detects froyo

Still need more information on the "Missed Call" issue. So please send me "Email debug info" reports or add to my Issue Tracker here
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mi|enko:
Thanks man. Works great. Would this be the same reason it's not working with the Froyo calendar?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Could be! I've added "Calendar (Froyo)" to the database can you test and let me know.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mi|enko:
Dude. You rock! And. . .google talk for Froyo isn't working either. lol Sorry man.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Why are google rename all these packages in Froyo!!

Ok Google talk for Froyo is not there under chat.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Will post a new version of Pro which fixes the default apps it installs, no biggie for current users but its catching new users out.

If your having Missed Call, Stock Email, Stock Calendar and Gtalk problems, please delete and re-add from the database.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
I believe they posted a notice not too long ago on the developer website, to take care to not focus on package names as they would be changing soon.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Missed that, unfortunately Trackball Alert can only focus on packagenames because that's what gets sent to the notification system ;)

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MicroMod777:
Are you making changes to the services.jar or framework-res.apk in Froyo to make it work? Somebody complained that my themes are disabling your Trackball Alert!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mi|enko:
I don't believe that his (lilHermit's) app is making changes to the services or framework files; however, there are certain things that rom/theme developers need to do in these files to ensure they're compatible with Trackball Alert. Hope that makes sense.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
The app makes no modification to froyo at all, the only ROM the currently modifies is CyanogenMOD. However compatible roms do have a modified framework but it is not done on the fly by the app.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
is it possible to de-odex frameworks.jar and mod cyan's quick rooter for froyo with flashing an update.zip?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Not sure what your asking, why not just use a de-odexed rom which has root already?

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
was hoping to not have to redo all my apps again
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
If I understand your question, no is the short answer.

The entire rom needs to be deodexed... try installing Kang-o-rama, you don't need to wipe /data (unless your using ext3) and it includes Trackball Alert... ;)

/hijack
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PrawnPoBoy:
Any way to set notification priority?

I'd like to be able to have certain notifications override less important ones. Currently it seems like the trackball will always light up with the colour of the first notification. I'd like it if stuff like SMS and Google Talk would take priority as sometimes when I see that I have a Gmail message I wont bother checking it right away, but if a text or chat comes in after I won't know about it.

Is it possible to prioritize certain notifications? I seem to recall some way to blend notifications back when I was using CM (I'm using pre-Foyo now), or maybe it would flash the notification colours in order... I can't remember.

So anyway, is this possible?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
There is currently no way to prioritise notifications in Android Notification system

without a complete rewrite, which is a little was beyond Trackball Alert.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Thank you very much :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
thanks, I just came to this thread to ask when it would be patchable. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gelsbern:
I just updated from Cyanogen 5.0.7.1 to 5.0.8 and decided to purchase the Pro version. When I hit the Patch CM5 button, I get an error saying "Your framework is not Cyanogenmod stock!"

I don't know how it could be anything else, but maybe I am missing something. I did try to bypass framework check, but the phone wouldn't reboot so I had to do a recovery from RA.

Is there anything I can send you that will help get this fixed?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Is this the English version of CM5.0.8 or a different language respin?

If english please turn on framework and application debug and try to patch again. After that do a "Email debug info" from the main screen menu.

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gelsbern:
I figured it out.

On the CM forum there was a patch for some garbled text problems in Terminal and other apps that I use.

forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/1370-garbled-text-in-terminal

If this patch is installed, TBA Pro will not install the CM patch.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Yes that's correct, that mod is a framework patch.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gelsbern:
Since the patch is kind of required to fix several errors in CM 5.0.8, is there any possibility of having TBA Pro patch that framework, maybe in a manual fashion until the patch is rolled into CM?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Maybe in manual fashion however I'm not sure the source code is released for the "garbled text" fix. I maybe try and do a baksmali/smali merge for you later, however football is about to start ;)

(Come on England)

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
FYI cyan posted a fix to his github last night...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Anyone wanna test this framework which incorporates the "garbled text" fix. Someone experiencing the problem will be good.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
I don't have an issue, just saw the github and was tryin' to help a brother out ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
and I appreciate it. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ksc6000:
Now that froyo source code is out, will it be possible to use this app simply by having root access but stock froyo? I'm so sick of having a staring contest with my phone to see if I got a message of any sort.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Was waiting for that! In simple terms, NO! Stock ROMs are odex'ed and therefore can't be modified.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ksc6000:
Thanks. I wonder if anyone will put out a Froyo rom simply deodexing it. I had HORRENDOUS (okay maybe not horrendous but it sucked) battery life with all versions of cyanogen's roms, so I don't care for them, and honestly stock Froyo kicks ass...so I don't want to change a thing except the stupid trackball light frequency.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
There are already de-odexed Froyo ROMs out there, however I would recommend MoDaCo ROMs they are very close to stock. MoDaCo r18 includes Trackball Alert support built in.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] watercool:
Lilhermit, any timeframe for adding ebuddy? Thx
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
net.cactii.flash:0 for N1 Torch if anyone is interested
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Hey! ;)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Sorry I can't recommend every rom ;) But yeah take a look at Kang-o-rama! :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
FRF83 zip is bonked. it has two update-ta-framework-v6.1-froyo-frf72.zip files in it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Your right, damn script error!

Edit: fixed and link revived. Thanks RixKliq!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crimsondr:
lilHermit, so TPA requires changes to services.jar now? Would you be willing to incorporate the succession mod since we can't do it ourselves now without your code.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
**IF** he does it should at least be optional, due to the fact some people will cry about the wakelock killing their battery.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
It does and doesn't. The reason I have included a services.jar is is because stock rom do not flash the trackball if the screen is on. CM5 already has this patch via a setting so only framework is required. I provide this services.jar to other rom devs.

I'll look into the code, not sure if it froyo compatible

I agree with this point 100%, for me the code is not pretty.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crimsondr:
Okay, so when CM6 comes out, TBA won't need to modify services.jar and we can modify it ourselves.

That's good enough for me.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Haven't really kept up, but can you hide a trackball notification for an application? So that it shows in the bar, but it doesn't blink the trackball.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
But even if the code is not pretty, I don´t feel more battey drain with this.

If it conflicts with other things, that´s no good.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] danimar1:
just applied your update.zip for FRF83. Working flawlessly, love your app!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
What do you think about a

backup function

in TA Pro ??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Already on the Feature Request List ;) Currently at 1.2 however that might get pushed back with the new Patch system

http://tinyurl.com/34xwubs
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Nice :) thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Unfortunately ebuddy can't be done, due to the fact it is constantly firing notifications. Just clicking around the app fires a notification.

You can try for yourself by adding manually and the match pattern of:

com.ebuddy.android:1

You will get flashing for no apparent reason and it won't cancel.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bball:
I am having problems with MoDaCo R19.

The trackball only blinks once and that's it. I did apply your FRF83 patch (was that even right for MoDaCo r19?) but still no luck. Any idea?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Make sure Trackball is enabled in Android Settings -> Display and Sound.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bball:
D'oh!

Thanks ... ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I've seen many support requests lately when this was the problem. Somewhere/somehow this is getting unset, too many for it to be human error.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ksc6000:
Authorize dammit!!

Stupid thing is stuck on authorizing purchase for the past half hour (i've cancelled and tried again, no luck). CMOON. This is the only app I went from stock froyo to mcr19 for.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crimsondr:
lilHermit's sig has a download link you can try.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ksc6000:
Stupid thing says invalid order number. "Note: It can take google up to one hour to validate orders" or something to that effect. I hate when **** like this happens. Why? Why should it take an hour? It's an electronic thing. There's not a person sitting there validating it by hand.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Firstly this is a Google issue not an app issue, my systems are working as normal, the order is invalid because it has not been approved.

Your order is in "Customer review in progress" stage, all order go through a fraud check, some orders take longer than others.

This is what google say about the order stage:

As regard to downloading the app via the link in the footer, the order is verified however my system does not receive the order until Google complete their checks.

You have not been charged at this stage.

If you wish to discuss specifics of your order please pm me.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ksc6000:
I know it doesn't have anything to do with your end. Just frustrating that's all. It's been hours now and it still hasn't authorized. This and rom manager. Just stuck on authorizing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I understand your frustration its been in this state for over 3 hours now. I'll keep an eye on it this end.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crimsondr:
Just use Titanium Backup. It works perfectly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] watercool:
For some reason ebuddy flashes blue for me which is perfect. No idea why and it flashes only for incoming messages.

Bumparoo question:

Haven't really kept up, but can you hide a trackball notification for an application? So that it shows in the bar, but it doesn't blink the trackball.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
No sorry can't be done currently but its is possible.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
couldn't you just enable the RGB sliders and set them all to 0?

black won't flash right?! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] watercool:
true that works, tried it lol

is there a way to limit the overall time the trackball is flashing? (f.e. 1 hour)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
not as long as a notification is active, i don't believe...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ksc6000:
lilhermit, anybody else have the issue of being stuck on "authorizing" as I am? It's been close to 10 hours now, and I know it's not your end, but I'm at the verge of just saying the hell with it and going back to stock froyo, as your app was the only one I went to MCR19 for.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Now that you ask, I looked at the order list and a order at 16:23 (UK time) is also stuck in that state. However other orders have gone through at the same time and since.

If you want I can cancel the order and you can then try again!

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ksc6000:
Actually lilhermit, I looked online and it seems to be a problem with the market, I typed in app stuck on authorizing in google and set the time frame to be for the previous week and lots of people are experiencing this problem in the past few days. Canceling the order and restarting it hasn't helped it seems. Is there any way I can simply pay you through paypal and have you send me the apk after you receive the payment?

Edit: Wait..will that screw me for further updates?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uberingram:
Yes it will.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
We can do that, if you donate using the link in my footer, I'll manually create the order and send you details.

(PS double checked this message for typos, the other was atrocious) :)

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ksc6000:
Great...okay let's try the cancel thing then.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Yes and no, you can always download the latest apk from my site using the order number. Plus the next version of Trackball Alert Pro will inform you of newer versions.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ksc6000:
Great, that's good to know I'll have an order #. Payment sent!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Ok order created PM sent, thanks for your custom.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ksc6000:
Is there something special that needs to be done to make this work with Google Talk? I made a new Category for Google talk, then went to Simple> typed google talk, Google Talk new Message shows up, I checked it, checked intercept, but set it to green and blink every 2 seconds, and it's not doing it.

Figured it out. I don't read well enough. Lol, had to pick Google Talk (Froyo).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Nothing special but you might need Google Talk (Froyo). Simple -> Chat -> Google Talk (Froyo) -> New Message.

And then tweak away.

Edit: figured it out, ignore then ;)

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
cancelled orders!

So as people were having Google issues, I took a deeper look into my Merchant account. I saw 5 cancelled orders in 2 hours, thought "oh maybe they have been having problems too" No such luck 3 downloaded, authed and then cancelled, they are just attempted pirates ;)

The other two did not bother even auth'ing so I'll let them off.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I'll add whatever people want, that is the purpose of the pro version ;)

If you send me a debug info email with a nimbuzz alert in I'll add it. I will need to know what type of alert.

Will add seemic later when I have some tweets, @mentions and DMs come in.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
yea I fail. plus I didn't see anything in the text file about notification for that app... I had debug framework on, I dunno...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] overground:
Well, you could do what Joel, dev of Titanium Backup does. Offer only free version on the Market, but offer a "donate" key kept on the sdcard which TBA could scan for to unlock "Pro" features. People donate via PayPal, and you return a unique keyfile. His app, while not being made for piracy, certainly gives the user power to do so more easily and he knows this, hence his security method. It all really comes down to the individual. It would probably take too much work to implement at this point, but something to think about for the future.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
That makes me think the framework.jar did not work for you. Assuming a notification came in between you turning on framework debug and sending the debug email.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
That's the order I followed. The framework for t3 def is working changing colors tho.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
I really like this approach. Nobody is going to share out their personal keyfiles which means all pro versions are actually paid and accounted for.

lilHermit - perhaps this is the approach you should take. There has been so much effort and involvement on your part, I hate to see people ripping you off.

Maybe just accept that people can't be trusted with the current iteration and perhaps version 1.1 moving forward is driven by unique keyfiles. It is extra overhead on your part but you are guaranteed to not have a 10% theft rate.

....onto additional settings.

Are all incoming sms/mms using the exact same ID or is there going to be a means to associate different colours for different contacts (as done in sms popup)? I really would like to drop sms popup but as it stands, I am able to ignore certain sms based solely on what colour my trackball is blinking :)

-s

I honestly do not mind supporting you at all. Plus, unless I am missing something, if you issue a refund, I will not have access (via the market) to future updates as it will be locked to the version at which the issue was refunded :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] McAndrew73:
GREAT work!

As soon as CM releases a new stable ROM, I'll buy your program. :) 2€ is a fair price.

BTW, adding Touiteur and Newsroom would be amazing. :) (edit. Well.....maybe they are already in the pro version.......sorry if that's the case. )
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I'll look into this approach the app will need to send certain information in these keyfiles over the internet to verify them, else people will happily share the files. Sending over the internet means obviously internet access, what if you have no signal, I'll need to factor in a period of grace.

Unfortunately the Stock sms sends the same ID, so Trackball Alert can not differentiate.

I had considered that but I dont think it locks the app, if it does I'll refund £1.98

-Flashed CM 506 test3

-put your backup-framework...in /.lilHermit

but did not succeed to get Trackb.Al. patched...

what did I miss?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] overground:
No. A user donates via PayPal, you reply with the file to be placed in a preset location, say /sdcard/TAP/keyfile.txt (for example). Just build in a keyset checker in the app itself. If a valid keyfile number is found in the text (or db) file on sdcard, Pro is enabled. If more keysets are required, just update the free app in the Market. No internet checking required.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jacksonj51:
Sorry for the noob question....

Just want to get this straight. Running the Cyno5.0.5.3 ROM and it comes with a few trackball color notifications... I have no probs getting the Trackball alert pro but does it affect 5.0.5 color alerts?

Does it just allow more custom alerts? Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Yes you can customize virtually app you install.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SophiaB:
I bought your app, even though I just upgraded to 6.0.6 but I'm sure you'll upgrade it when the release is out :D I absolutely love the trackball color feature... it's the main reason I rooted - well, until I found out all the additional advantages :p

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
I do think this would be a good function, in fact I think about it often. Does the notification actually have to be cleared for the pulse to be stopped?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
lilhermit:

I just notice the gmail from gapps EPF30 can kill the trackball notification.

I received and email, the phone notification came up and the trackball began flashing. I checked the email on my computer without touching the phone. I then grabbed my phone and the notification was gone, as well as the trackball flashing.

Look into how that's done, it means you can send a command to kill a notification, effectively creating a "no trackball notification".

This was done on CM 5.0.8.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
This has always been possible, an app can cancel a notification and that was gmail does. Not sure where you are going with this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
Yes that is the way the Android notification system works. Trackball Alert currently only intercepts when the alert is sent so can therefore only change the color on creation. We have no control after that. Something like that would require a totally custom notification system.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Since you can intercept the notification and change it's properties, could'nt you mimick the portion of the kill notification to kill the trackball from flashing instead of just changing it's color?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilHermit:
I'm not sure what functionality you are try to achieve:

1) Not flashing the trackball for certain alerts

or

2) Stopping the flash after a certain amount of time.

~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Allow a notification in the tray without it flashing the trackball.
