Just to let people know. I'm currently in the middle of revising for my finals (final exams at Uni) therefore will not have much time to do anything on this for the next fortnight. Hopefully, I'll have a quick look at this tonight but can't promise anything. :cool:

v4.1.0 Donate and v3.1.0 Free Released. See OP ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ct1314etc:
3.1.0 led still not working on eris rom,so i use back the 3.0.5,any solution?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Markus214:
Im currently on 4.1.0 of donate version and blinking led doesnt work for some reason everything else does (even though havent seen charging light yet) but if someone has a previous version that works can you send it over? thru pm with permission from senab
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Right, I've scoured the changes I've made since v.3.0.5 and I think I've fixed it! There was a tiny bit of logic which wasn't quite right. Anyway should be working now.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
v4.1.1 Donate and v3.1.1 Free Released. See OP ;)
[Android Apps and Games] kenny wong:
V.4.1.1

My Magic Button Backlight not work again :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Ok, I'll have another look later. Are notifications fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Right, I've had a couple of people tell me that the backlights are broken in v4.1.1 so I'll have a look tonight.

After some other feedback, I'm also going to make the taskbar icon (when setting the service to run in foreground) optional.

Another thing that was brought up in the charging LED colour. I'm slightly colourblind so I think I've used the wrong colours compared to stock.

At the moment its:

<15% RED, >15% GREEN

Would this be more like stock?

<15% RED, 16% - 85% ORANGE, >85% GREEN
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
After having a look at the code, there's nothing wrong. The problem looks to be that peoples preferences are slightly broken. For people having problems, you can do one of three things:

Uninstall the app, and then reinstall.

Toggle all the preferences on/off and then reset them to what you want.

Delete the preferences file (see below for the command), and then reset them to what you want.

DONATE: adb shell rm -rf /data/data/uk.co.senab.heroled/shared_prefs
FREE: adb shell rm -rf /data/data/uk.co.senab.heroled_free/shared_prefs

v4.2 Donate Released. See OP ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ct1314etc:
4.2 is great ,i like the icon optional,but the button light still doesnt work,i`ve tried the three above
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Hmm, I can see nothing wrong with the code but I may have missed something. Magic/G1?
[Android Apps and Games] ct1314etc:
G1....:o.....
[Android Apps and Games] kenny wong:
V.4.2.0

the default LED colour this option are very nice now :D

but the button backlight still not working :( :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
v4.2.1 Donate and v3.1.2 Free Released. See OP ;)

Everything should be fixed in the Donate version now. I ran this for a couple of hours and it was working fine. Sorry! :D

[Android Apps and Games] Markus214:
LED Notification

I think im really the only one that can't get working led notification lights on this. When i use espresso the king's one it works haven't tried the new slide one. Im currently on legend by king any recommendations? Tried uninstalling and all but no luck.

Oh using the latest donate version so i have everything
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Hmmm. Can you run the following command for me, it will check the file paths to the LED brightness files:

find /sys -name brightness

I'll also need a logcat of a time when a notification comes in. I advise you to start adb logcat, then send an SMS to yourself. Give it 10 seconds, stop logcat and paste the output here. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Markus214:
Alright the weird thing is though that its only SMS and not E-mail. But give me a little bit i'll set it all up for you
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
If that's the case, I should be able to fix it just from the logcat.

//EDIT... I've just flashed the Legend ROM onto my G1 and it's working perfectly. A logcat is the only way I could see what's going on.
[Android Apps and Games] Ace42:
Can you make a ver that

disables

the leds/lights for G1/MT3G?

Im in lit places so the light isnt need and i know where each key is so i dont need em at all.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
I'm guessing you mean on ROMs with working LEDs. That's not in the scope of this application and couldn't be reliably done. This app replaces the work done by the framework by manually turning on the LEDs. To be able to do this reliably would mean some (fairly small) changes to the framework.
[Android Apps and Games] Markus214:
Working LEDs!!!

My LED's Are Fully Working!!!!!!!

Ok fixed the problem because i had TheWeather widget on my homescreen and as a SMS/MMS kept coming in it said force close or wait i always chose wait not thinking it interfered with this so this time i chose force close and led came through i than disabled and uninstalled theweather now all my leds are working.

Hope this can help other users on a G1 or Mytouch

Thank you senab again for fast responsive answers and a great APP
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
No problem, glad it now works. For curiosity, what was causing the ANR (app not responding) dialog?
[Android Apps and Games] Markus214:
You mean as to the logcat? I was about to run a logcat but had tried this step and confirmed it so im guessing the code in the widget didn't like the led lol
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Nah, the dialog should have said what had caused it.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
I've been optimizing and reworking HeroLED over the past few days, and I think I'm now in the position to start a beta test. You can find v3.3 Free beta at the end of this post. If you use it, can you please give some feedback on it.

//EDIT Stable versions released. Removed apk.

You should be able to just install the apk, no need to uninstall your previous version.

As an overview of the changes, previously HeroLED set up a repeating alarm with the Android system for the blinking functionality (this was inherited from the previous version). This meant that every second (or whatever the notification blink rate was) the Android system would launch HeroLED, which would turn the LED on/off. This is incredibly inefficient for such a small interval. The version I've been working on is to make the whole blinking functionality happen in the shell, therefore removing all the Alarms. It's been working fine for me, but I daresay there's some bug in it somewhere. Hence the need for testing. In theory, this will lower the CPU utilization of the app, meaning longer battery life etc. It will also mean a small decrease in the amount of RAM used.
[Android Apps and Games] LostEden:
Keyboard lights can be turned off in the new version separately from the button backlight!

Led finally works! (Very short flash)

Very good work!

I have a G1.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
v4.3 Donate and v3.3 Free Released. See OP ;)

Here's also a list of things I'm planning:

Timeout on Button and Keyboard backlights. This is half completed: I've already written the code to turn the lights off after a certain interval. The problem I'm having is detecting button presses, to turn them back on. No obvious way to do this with a Service. If I can't do this, I'll go with Plan B.

Plan B. Add two extra preferences for a start and end time of when the button backlights should be enabled. For example: between 7:00pm and 7:00am they will come on when the screen goes on/off. Between 7:00am and 7:00pm they won't.

They should help reduce the battery consumption of the app.

v4.2.2 will make the system very lag, how above v4.3.0?
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Give it a try, I noticed an improvement but let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] sirdani:
just got the updated (free) version from the market, previous version worked just fine, but the new one ... don't know what's happening but I've just received an SMS an the LED blinked green once, as usually, then went off.

When the screen went on the green LED blinked again and then, here's the annoying part, blinked very quickly - like 8 or 9 times per second, went off for 1-2 seconds, blinked again once and again 8-9 times per second... and same happens for missed call notifications too

any thoughts on what could have caused that ?

PS: reinstalling solved the problem ^^ thanks for the great app, considering to get the donate version soon ^^

regards
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Thanks for letting me know ;) In the new version, the LED blink times will now be correct (i.e. short blink, long blinks, etc).
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
v4.4 Donate and v3.3.2 Free Released. See OP ;)
[Android Apps and Games] mghtyred:
Nice improvements. Of course I still want to see an update with external apps like Handcent able to use their own color selections instead of everything using the app default. There is also one other issue I've noticed of late:

When receiving a call, you get the fast flash as expected... but when you answer the call, the flashing doesn't stop until you END the call rather than when you pick up the call. This is a pretty annoying bug. Hopefully you can address this as well in your next update.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
HeroLED has been able to do this from the start. The default colour (which can be changed in the paid version) is only used when the app chooses to show the default colour.

This is a bug and I need to think of a way to work around it. Basically this bug will happen when you have selected to have Missed Call alerts. I'll have a think.
[Android Apps and Games] sogasa76:
Thanks, nice app.

But don't work in htc DESIRE. Why?
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
You don't need the app as you have working LEDs. It's for G1 and Magic's only. :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] ct1314etc:
the v4.4 blink so fast ......

//Old post.....
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Right, after being barraged with emails over the past 2 months asking if this will work with other devices I've finally got round to updating this. Version 5, which will be released tomorrow, will work on any rooted device without working LEDs.

There a few caveats to this but I'll outline these when I post it tomorrow.

Chris
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Version 5 is out! Now works on all devices.
[Android Apps and Games] tjsynkral:
Hi,

I wonder if this app could be modified to provide LED on the Samsung Vibrant with a non-Sense ROM, as described here? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Greenycq20:
Hi Have searched the Market but unable to locate HeroLED realy want to try this on my X10, any recomendations
[Android Apps and Games] soraxd:
does only the paid version work? cause i dled the free version on my galaxy and it doesnt do anything.. i cant find the paid version either anywhere so i cant even test it. anyone know if only the paid version works?
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
I'm currently looking into making this work for the Galaxy ;) And yes, only the paid version will work. Basically the difference between the Free and Paid version is now to large to keep track of. Why you can't see the app in Market is a mystery. My friends got a Galaxy S so i'll ask him if he can see it.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Does your ROM has working LEDs, if it does I'll point you to the post above. If not then the reason is because the X10 is on Donut (iirc), this app requires Eclair (2.0+) to use a specific API call. I will have a look at making it work under Donut ;)
[Android Apps and Games] chrissniper:
What will be used on the Galaxy S for the notifcation? It does not have a LED.

btw. I can find the app on the market with my Galaxy S
[Android Apps and Games] huasamaya:
it will be great if you make work on a Samsung VIbrant...
[Android Apps and Games] wisecracker:
*All* is a pretty ambitious word (grin)

I tried to use this on my TMOUS version of the HTC HD2, now running Froyo with HTC Sense.

I couldn't get the button backlight or the amber/green LED to interact with the software. By comparison, Blinker is generally working (both green and amber, but not the backlight).

I'm sure that'll be a different level of inquiry, but perhaps you can put this handset on your radar. As Android becomes more stable on HD2 (I'm now using it exclusively, and have abandoned WinMo) you'll probably have a wider audience.

My build: ChuckyDroid ROM, running MattC 1.5b Froyo with Sense.
[Android Apps and Games] Greenycq20:
Hey senab,

1.6 strikes again :mad:

from what i can tell we have working LED in X10 rom i have seen it Green,Blue, Red, Orange and a Pinky color

hope that is what yours asking for
[Desire General] The Lurking Droid:
Hello ladies, gents, killer droids and aliens.

A somewhat long time lurker finally decided to register myself :D

Anyway, it seems quite likely that I'll pull trigger on one Desirable droid in a near future.

But I have to know couple of things before I dive in head first into the world of droids.

So if any of you could answer those questions, it would be... in the word of Borat, "Very nice" ;) Here goes nothing!

1. Is it possible to browse files in my PCs on my LAN via WLAN from desire?

2. If so, is it possible to stream files (mp3s and avi most likely) from there to be played on desire?

3. Lastly, can desire handle WPA2-PSK?

Cheers!
[Desire General] Noiz:
In answer to your first two, yes (using EStrongs File Explorer, although I'm sure other apps will do it too) and a hesitant yes. Hesitant because I use the Subsonic media server to do just that but that might not be what you're after. Not sure if anything else can do it as I haven't tried. Subsonic is incredibly easy to set up though, and a one-time donation gives you Android streaming for life.

Not sure about the third as my home uses standard WPA for legacy reasons. I'd be extremely surprised if it didn't though.
[Desire General] The Lurking Droid:
Hey thanks for a quick answer!

Hm that subsonic seems like it's only meant for music and not for movies and such :( hmm...

Well the reason I asked about WPA2 is that my other handhelds such as DS and PSP aren't supporting it in the first place (which is a kind of bummer, but I will never lower security for play stuff online in any case)
[Desire General] micks_address:
Yes to number 3.. i use that encryption at home and the desire connects no problem...
[Desire General] Noiz:
Ah yes, sorry, Subsonic is just for music, but it does that music very well!

Can't help with video streaming, but it wouldn't surprise me to see something that does it. There's already the Youtube and Beebplayer apps so it can't be hard to do the same for LAN based videos.
[Desire General] The Lurking Droid:
Thanks micks & Noiz!

Well, you can come quite far with couple of gigs of music (besides I already have iPod nano) but TV series and such are bit bigger than mp3s you know? So I wasn't all that sure if I wanted to transfer everything to the phone.

BTW are there any competent program which can run divx without any hitch? or is the "convert the avi file to something else" the way to go?
[Desire General] JaykaySLO:
ATM converting to mp4 with x264 is the way to go. unfortunately.
[Desire General] The Lurking Droid:
I recall reading something about somthing, like "Divx playback out of the box" and that kind of fluff regarding Desire before...

Was it pure 100% BS then? .... sigh .... :(
[Desire General] FloatingFatMan:
BS? No.

Available out of the box? No.

Coming "soon" to an OTA update near you? Yes. ;)
[Desire General] The Lurking Droid:
"soon" IE.... next year?

I've seen the slow update on the Hero, so I won't be holdning my breath on this.

(The very reason I didn't go for Hero in the first place, painfully slow updates)
[Desire General] FloatingFatMan:
I really wish I could be more specific, but "soon" is as close as it gets.. Hence putting it in quotes.

For now, I'd convert using something like Handbrake. Not an ideal solution as you always lose some of the quality when cross converting, but it's the best solution for the moment.
[Desire General] The Lurking Droid:
Yeah I understand that, that's the reason I asked "next year?" :D

Well, I guess the quality itself won't bother me, after all, it's just on 3.7inch screen.

The main "trouble" as I see is that, it takes such tremendious time converting files.

I mean it takes more time to convert file than show itself you know?

The reason I stopped watching stuff on my PSP, it just took way too much time.
[Desire General] micks_address:
the one worry i'd have about streaming is data usuage... if your on 3g etc.. if you have wi fi handy then great.. but i'd imagine streaming over 3g would eat data quite quickly
[Desire General] The Lurking Droid:
Oh I was talking about while I'm on my own network.

So no worries there. Thank you for your concern tho.

But your post reminds of me something, but is kinda OT, should I start a new thread about that, or should I keep going here?
[Desire General] The Lurking Droid:
Since nobody's protesting, I'll just go ahead and ask it.

I feel a bit torned about how much data plan I'll be using.

I will be checking and sending around 10 mails avg a day, maybe some net surfing (nothing heavy duty) maybe couple of youtube vids, no twitter or facebook.

Will 500mb/month suffice or will I use it up within couple of days? LOL

I srsly have no idea, so any insight will be appreciated!
[Desire General] micks_address:
well i have 50 megs per day (dont ask irish plans are $hite) actually its a pay as you go contract.. 50 megs a day for 99 cents.. never go over that to be honest.. i have email client on and browse the web a bit.. and market place.. wouldnt watch video etc or do streaming unless i'm on wireless network... i think unless your doing streaming or sending large emails you'd do well to use 500 in a month.. i know guys who are on 250mb for a month and they say it doesnt them fine..
[Desire General] FloatingFatMan:
I think it really depends on your usage. I suggest a data monitoring app such as 3G Watchdog. Run it for a few days and it'll give you a good guage as to how much data you're using.
[Desire General] The Lurking Droid:
Well micks, when you think about it you have 50mb a day!

that's total sum of 1.4 gig per month!

So it's like 3 times more than I was thinking about after all.

Fatman, true, however, the provider here are sneaky bunch who allows custmers upgrade on plan, but not downgrade!

Choises choises, just way too many choises tbh.

I have to decide if I gonna go for Legend or Desire in the first place.

I mean Legend got some seriously sexy outershell! But desire shines with raw poweeeerrr.

I'm just asking myself why HTC didn't make legend shell with desire internals! :(

From what I've read, 5.0.6 is a test1 or test2 version and CM Updater doesn't work with test versions, only full versions.
[Nexus One General] mindfrost82:
The stable version was released last night.

It sounds like you might be getting a corrupted download. Have you tried to reset the ROM servers in the settings?

You can try downloading the zip from his site and flashing it through Recovery.

EDIT: I updated using the Updater last night and it worked good for me.

[HD Mini General] ianjd:
I've noticed that Cleartype doesn't seem to be enabled in some of the Mini applications, such as the Outlook message list. It's very noticable in a relatively low resolution device like this, if you compare for example Resco Explorer with and without Cleartype enabled. It used to be possible to universally enable it in Settings, but this doesn't seem to be there any more. Anyone any ideas on how to re-enable it?
[HD Mini General] zalaros:
Yeah i would like that too... any help on this?
[HD Mini General] jmatejka:
Try this:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=447144
[HD Mini General] zalaros:
jmatejka thank you :D

A more detailed working solution to enable cleartype in mini is the following:

With a registry editor go to:

HKLM -> System -> GDI

new key:ClearType, then new DWORD in the key named ClearType, Dword data=1.

Reboot your device, done. Works fine on my mini ;)
[HD Mini General] ianjd:
Thanks for this. The fonts still look really dreadful to me in eg. the Outlook message list, compared to devices with the same resolution - the 1-pixel wide letters just lack clarity. They seem to be using the application's Medium font, whereas if you view a message and change the font size up to Larger it's far clearer; using this size in the list would look much better. Maybe there's a hack to change the list font size?
[HD Mini General] rigo007:
can you post a pic of how it looks like? :-) I'm curious.
[HD Mini General] ianjd:
It's a bit kludgy because I haven't installed a screengrabber (and I'm not sure there is a HVGA-compatible one available) but in the attached images, the first shows the message list, the second and third show the text inside the email viewer at Larger and Medium font sizes. Larger is far clearer, and uses up a negligible amount of extra space. It seems to me that the list view would look much better using the Larger font.

Edit: well I never, there's a setting in Manila Settings - Font to fix this! Couldn't find it in the standard WM settings though. :)
[HD Mini General] seba76:
Sorry for my english. I was really interested HD mini but when i saw quality of fonts i could not belive that this is possible in new device for this price. Fonts in file explorer looks much worse then in my polaris. I was search for WM resolution supported and i think that the answer for this problem is simply. WM 6.5 does not support Hvga resolution, so it does not run in its native resolution. It is the same when you set for example resolution 800x600 on the monitor with native resolution 1024x768 - fonts look blurred not sharp. Only manila is made for HVGA so the main interface looks grate but when you go inside windows fonts looks awful. Only WM 7 will support HVGA.
[HD Mini General] ianjd:
It actually doesn't look at all bad with a slightly larger font, attached; just the default is rather poorly designed.
