[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] OneStepAhead:
wow, tough crowd! sounds cool to me if it lets the led stay on during video. wasn't aware of any other apps that do that, but i hadn't really researched it. i say advertise it up! and he's offering a free version as well, so this is kosher in my book.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] novanosis85:
Android is all about what? Flashlights? Making money? Flashlight app that cost money ?

Should be free and then have a pro version that does strobe where the leds flash to the beat of a song...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Success100:
wrong forum, great job on coding your first app, but someone would have to be an idiot to buy this app. there are tons that are free
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
Love to see work being done but this forum is a more open type place people NEVER have much luck SELLING anything here other than used phones. IMO but you have to start someplace right? keep that thick skin you'll surely need it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] EJerVJerO:
Going to be a tough sell since you couldn't even put this in the right section of the forum.

I would suggest maybe just going FREE and putting up donate link for people to donate to further development.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Kllian:
nice work, is it on the market?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] apristel:
make it sound activated... so when the bass hits it flashes...club lights.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
That's actually a really cool idea... I'll have to incorporate something like that!

For that matter, I've got control over the other leds on the phone (the green / amber / LCD / buttons) so maybe I can get a whole rave going on the phone :D

I'm not doing this for the sales - I had to put something up so that I could see how the Marketplace actually worked.

Surprisingly I've had a few sales already, and well, as my 1 comments states - "Works very well. Best FL on the market for the EVO. SQ" - so what's the harm in having more choices?

Yes, donating your time is all well in good in the open-source community, but when you only make $20k a year, you gotta do everything you can to make money, amirite?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] novanosis85:
Get a job and make this a hobby... amirite?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Gregalous:
Has the OP offended you somehow by spending his own time creating an app and choosing to sell it? Seriously dude, if you don't have anything useful to say, save yourself and everyone else the time it takes to write/read your posts.

And why the heck is this in Q&A?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
No idea why this is in Q&A... I had put it under Evo Android Development, because hey... I'm still in the process of developing it, but then it got moved to Evo Themes and Apps, which still makes sense.

Q&A? No idea.

Anyone managed to crash it yet? Or better, try it on something other than an Evo?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
Just uploaded v1.16 of the free version - got one bit of feedback I felt was important - someone rated it only 3 stars, because they thought the Settings didn't work.

Settings works fine, but I had just completely disabled it in the free version. Now, I changed it so that the user can see it works, but is now clearly disabled.

I do wish the Marketplace had a more comprehensive communication between user / developer.

BTW, just to clarify one little thing - an app like this is clearly not marketed towards pretty much anyone here on XDA. XDA's more the 'power user' crowd. EvoLight is catered toward the "iPhone4 sucks balls let me try Android" crowd. (Compare your average iPhone user to your average XDA-developers member)

I will say my next application IS catered more toward the power user crowd, and I'm hoping might even help out fellow developers. It's a lot more comprehensive, and I'll probably start it donation driven, as all I need to recoup on that is ongoing hosting charges.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thegame3202:
Let the man do his thing. Its always cool to know about apps that xda people develop. If you don't want to buy it, then don't. But Stfu and quit ragging on him. He's obviously aware of the free apps on the market but its his price not yours
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
Just so I make certain for future reference - is the Q&A section really where this belongs?

In other news, covered half of my developer's fee so far, lol.

I should have my second program live by the weekend - it'll start looking pretty basic, but I intend to 'pretty' it up as I go.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] topdnbass:
Keep it up!

Just remember to think before you post in the dev section.

That's a surefire way to get flamed.

Why is this in Q&A now though? Apps go in the apps section :(

I look forward to changes you make and might end up buying it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
That's the Themes & Apps subforum, correct?

And what specifically IS supposed to go in the Android Development subforum? Is it ROMS only or what?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Kllian:
That's mainly for ROMs, kernels, rooting, etc. This should be in App section not QA but good for you for making an app and wanting to sell it, nothing wrong with that! just give us XDAers a discount ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
Will do and appreciate the info! ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
ok gave you a 3 star rating. The gui is rough needs some polishing. why is it that you can tap the switch and the bulb to power cycle? and why can you see settings if you can't access them? Liek teasing lol

keep up the good work can't wait to see what you have next
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
I just though it'd be easier - I know when I'm fumbling in the dark, I don't like having to hit some specific switch to turn it on and off! Besides, I have a plan for that - I want to be able to 'slide' that slider up and down to adjust the brightness level, OR tap on the light for Instant Medium, and the slider moves up halfway.

What do you think?

Go check the updated one (just released v1.20) - the GUI does need work (definitely not my strong suit!) but the free version now has low and medium, while the paid version has an even more powerful LED.

I can now say the full version matches the brightness settings on the LED Desire program.

But wait, that's not enough! I've got access on an even brighter setting (yes, brighter than anything LED Desire has) that'll be added in the next few days.

GUI programming is not my strong suit, by far. Keep the comments / suggestions coming, I do appreciate it!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
I'll purchase the paid app only IF you:

1. find a way to make it a triple-LED flashlight

2. create a couple sweet-looking widgets (1x1 and 2x1)

3. somehow make an option in the app to automatically turn the LED light on full power when recording a video (instead of having to open the app, turn on light, then open video camera).

It'll be worth it then. Good start man...better to start with something that has been done before so at least you can learn the ropes of app development! Keep up the app deving!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
That's a great idea - having a slider to adjust flashlight brightness, I like that. I agree that you need to make it look a bit more 'pretty' but also make it easy to use when in the dark =)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
1) Where's the third LED come from? Android is awesome, but I don't think it can create an LED out of thin air ;) Explain what you mean.

2) Widgets I'm already working on. I'm working on a 1x1 that is basically what you see (the bulb / slider) and the slider just shows On/Off. (the bar would turn green as well as the bar on there now, as once I get the custom Slider built, down will be off, up will be full power, and it'll be green in between as you slide up)

3) I'll certainly look into it. That would require a background thread constantly running, so it would need to be hyper-efficient (I do NOT want a battery drainer running in the background!) Hell, I intend to build a new Camera app anyway, so this would be a good starting point for me to begin with!

Appreciate the feedback, keep it coming!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
and we're back in the apps section! :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
In regard to #1, I may have misread the OP saying: "dual power modes (soon to be triple)" - could you maybe clarify that? :)

I'm looking forward to the improvements!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
There's now three modes -

They break down more or less like so:

LOW: 1 LED @ 1/2 brightness

MEDIUM: 2 LEDs @ 1/2 brightness

HIGH: 2 LEDs @ 3/4 brightness

I'm working on a 4th mode - both LEDs driven at full power. I'm not going to allow it as more than a 'burst' mode, though, as you WILL burn the LEDs up like that ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Not to be a buzz kill and mad props to you from a fellow programmer but the new Froyo update already has a three stage FL built in.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Skeptron:
Hey ur the guy that made the Evo fanpage in facebook! This was advertised there!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
Yeah and the new light works with 2.1 I love it nice icon too...

So hows your dev coming?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
Still ongoing - I like the flashlight HTC used in their app, but damn if I've got that kind of graphical skill - coding is what I do ;)

That said, HTC completely neglected utilizing a widget. So I've spent the last 30 minutes learning about the widgets, and now have the framework complete!

I'm going to have 3 widgets when this is said and done - a 1x1 and 2x1 for a quick 'on/off' with the light based on whatever preferences you have set in the actual app, and a separate widget that will activate the LEDs when in 'Video Camera' mode. That way, if you want to run VC mode during the day, you don't have to stop, access the app, disable the 'turn LEDs on when recording' setting, and then jump back to the camera. Just make sure you have the widget toggled how you want, and hit Camcorder mode!

The VC mode won't be available just yet - I've got to learn how the Camera interfaces in Android, first!

As for the actual Flashlight ability, I'll be adding that 4th mode, driving both LEDs @ full power for a brief 'boost' of light in the coming couple of days.

Also, adding Morse code (both send and RECEIVE) as well - which is where I'll really start playing with the Camera functions.

Development also continues on my 2nd app, but that's not version 1.0 yet, so no more info there. ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
Sweet sounds good. And why so secret about the other project?

you do realize that the 2.2 update includes the ability to use the flash while video recording
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
Yes, it does - but only the equivalent of 'Medium' in the Flashlight (or my EvoLight) application.

I'm going to bring 'High' LED power mode to the Camcorder. I won't bring the burst function over (simply because I don't see the point) but Morse Code WILL be in burst mode.

Honestly, it's not so much secrecy, as the general attitude around here will be 'don't bother, someone else has one like it' - and the fact is, I'd rather build my own without being influenced by anyone else's app ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
When you start caring what other people say then you better stop posting online bro!. lol

Look at it this was. Any publicity is good publicity

Let them talk **** let them talk trash at least you have people in here talking. There are companys out there that would pay for that
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
My 2nd app is a full phone analyzer - right now I've got it displaying all the build information, CPU info, video info (on all available framebuffer devices) + cameras, and working on the network side of things now, then full sensor data.

It'll also incorporate a standardized benchmarking suite for all hardware and sensors.

I'm still coming up with a name for it. Prototype is just 'gPhone' but I'm thinking PhoneAnalyzer, but that just seems to be a suck name for an app.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] -shift-:
congrats on the app!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Ahhh I'm super amped for the widget to toggle Video Camera mode. Will definitely purchase this if you get that working :)

Also, PhoneAnalyzer sounds like a great idea for an app. I'm looking forward to that one as well..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
How about Myphone or MyINFOpro ? Either way sounds very exciting good luck if you need a tester let me know
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
rjmjr69 - do you have access to anything other than an Evo?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
The code is completely working for the widget, but man - I don't like the way it looks at all.

I'm thinking simple is better here, so I'm going to set to working on the graphics.

I'm trying to do a 1x1 widget that's the same size as the standard Launcher icons, but what a PITA that is (for someone that is graphically-challenged anyway lol)

I've also made a 1x2 widget I don't really care for. I think I'm going to set it as a simple pic of the flashlight in the background, with a slider to make it 2x1.

Progress has slowed down a little, but I should be getting back on the ball this coming week!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
So work's been a real PITA lately, pulling 85+ hour weeks, so I haven't had time to work on my apps.

Now I've got some free time, so the widget is up! Give me some feedback on it!

I'm still working on my other apps, and I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Try out the EvoLight on some other phones, too - the app will automatically detect if it won't work, and ask you to send me an email (which gets filled out automatically, cuz I understand people like to be lazy - so do I! :P)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Doward:
Added a new routine utilizing the Camera app for those without direct access to the underlying hardware layer.

I'm working on finding a way to grab the LEDs without locking the camera - we'll see how that goes!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] matthewjulian:
So when can we expect the addition of control of ALL lights(WiMax, capacitive button led, notification), I heard you say it was coming. Just wondering if you have started working on it, I am specifically interested in control over the capacitive buttons led's, been asking for this around xda for a while:DPM me if you need a tester for that, my Evo is still STOCK 2.2(all OTA's done)!!! Just haven't seen a reason to root yet:p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] :
Nice job on this thread. I suggest that everytime you add a feature to your app you update the first post instead of creating another post. Makes it more organized and easier to follow progress.

my zip is too big... :) I don't have any place to host it, so if you want to try it out, pm me and I'll email it to you. If someone wants to host it for me, I'm cool with that. Here's a screenshot so you can at least see what it looks like.

Ok, so I found the Settings.apk in /system/app/ but I can't seem to locate the .png that sets the background of the app. I'm trying to rid my power control widget of the dark gray backdrop so it looks nice and clean and clear. Can anyone help me out on this?

Thanks,

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Russss:
It should be in \res\drawable-mdpi

and the file name is appwidget_bg.9.png

I uploaded my metamorph file that makes a clear power control widget and makes the genie widget look like the one posted in this Clear Genie Widget you can take the png file from there and use it
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
That's the correct image, however, it is not located in Setting.apk, with the rest of the images, rather in com.htc.resources.apk.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Russss:
You are right, I forgot he was on Fresh....in AOSP roms it is located in the settings.apk
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mbuchholz:
Cool. I'll take a look tonight. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] steindog99:
Once you get this done would you consider uploading it? I would love to have a clear Power Control Widget, as I'm sure other's would as well!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Freeport36:
Yes please, me too!!!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mbuchholz:
Thanks to everyone's help I have figured out how to remove the background. I need to tweak the icons a bit so it may be a day or so before I can upload a flashable zip. Keep in mind, if you flash the zip, it will reset your com.htc.resources.apk to stock fresh 2.3.3 except for the clear power control app background.

I'll post a reply with the flashable zip asap.

thanks again!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theseitz:
Hi all,

I have been trying to get past the lockout screen on my HTC Diamond 2 (the PURE version from AT&T).

I used PSAS and my old phone to make a goldcard (following xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7033683&postcount=3 this thread).

I then downloaded the stock ROM from htc.com/us/support/pure-att/downloads/ HTC (since the xda "shipped-topaz-ROMS" link doesn't go any where.) It's an .exe file, which didn't get me anything in the bootloader. I tried renaming it topaimg.nbh to see what would happen and still came up with nothing.

What should I try next?

Thanks xda!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Right click on the .exe and extract files, you will see the .nbh file
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theseitz:
Victory! Me 1 phone 0

For the record, you gotta rename it to TOPAIMG.nbh but you already knew that didn't you?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
You already stated you attempted to rename the .exe to TOPAIMG.nbh so to state again would have been pointless.

"TOPAIMG.nbh" is for flashing from SD Card, RUU_Sugned.nbh is for flashing with RUU Wrapper.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] parmijo11:
Any way you could do this for Nest? I mainly use that theme with different wallpaper. Awesome job btw.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jasonftfw:
Only issue I came across is that the preview images for these do not load in the mymodes app when you're changing the themes.

Also, randomly it froze up and kept trying to reload the home page but kept freezing and repeating. If this happens, just power down and back on.

It'd be great to see the other themes get this as well

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] 2girls1cup:
yeah ill prob go ahead and upload the default system themes and others in a lil bit.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jasonftfw:
my phone is not rooted.

I got the issue solved now.

This is just a warning for those with non rooted:

Your phone could freeze up from these modified theme files.

If they do, you will not be able to get past the mytouch slide startup screen.

If you get frozen you will have to do a long battery pull (i let me out for almost 7 hours, i'm sure its shorter, i just did it while i was as work), then boot into recovery mode. This shoot then boot to the red triangle/exclamation. pull battery again (short pull), power phone up to the boot manager and do a fastboot. Hopefully if anyone else goes thru this, it will help them. I wouldnt want to see anyone else freaking out like i was this morning.

Note:Hard reset wont fix this issue

Hey guys. I have done numerous nandroid backups in the past with problem but now I seem to be having issues doing backups.

"No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage.

Backing up cache...

No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.

Any ideas wtf is going on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veritas06:
I think it all refers to Apps on your SD card. If you don't have any installed there, there obviously won't be anything to backup, & i believe the sd card has to have an ext partition, so as long as you don't have apps on your card, looks normal to me.

If i'm wrong, someone feel free to correct me.
