the only repeatable issue i can get is when I have ATK (taboo, i know) set to kill it. Otherwise it works like a charm.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cabrone1:
Thanks, 2 cents. Im attempting to give input to the new dev not argue about using a task killer. However, I find that when I do use ATK and set it to kill the notifier it errors. Kthnx
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Biofall:
Dude.... Was I arguing? I was posting something I thought you should read. That was literally the least inflammatory response physically possible. I'm bewildered how it might have happened, but sorry if I somehow offended you.

Sheesh, I need to get off this forum, the people are killing me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JerryGNYC:
I've had just one FC since installing last Thursday (12/30/10), and that happened today. This is a much lower rate (for me) than the original app FC'ing. The only appreciable difference, is that I rooted my phone yesterday... :D

Hardware 002 and 3.70.651.1 update.

HTH,

Still getting force closes and used the apk in the link
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Noxious Ninja:
Yes, I haven't fixed any of the bugs yet. That version is meant to be a perfect clone. I'll have something improved by this weekend.

New thread up! Please direct any and all discussion of my version over there.

WiMAX Message Notifier redux [2011-01-04]

Does it FC, or what?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] youngzayiles:
I cant wait till this is done... Im glad your trying to revive it in your spare time....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] anthony.ray16:
confused.

do i download thia directly to my evo?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Dan330:
hi..

you are in the wrong thread.. this is the old and dead thread..

a new dev has started working to improve this app.

go to this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=900535

it loads like any app...

download it...

put it on your SDcard..

use a file manager app to load the apk.

wimax notifier

I am thinking the wimax led is just like the led that was on the G1. When I had the MIUI rom on my phone its was a light orange color. Now, with wimax notifier and ava z3 its red and green. It is a multi color led, and the one on the g1 was able to do about 8-10 different colors. I used an app on my g1 called "missed call" that allowed me to set custom notifications for individual contacts, missed calls, email, txt..... etc. I have had my evo since it hit the market on june 5th and have never seen that led until last week when I installed MIUI. I have access to 4g and use it sparingly, but the wimax led never showed itself untill last week. I hope you can do something like "missed call" as I am very excited to have discovered this led and I'm sure there are many ways it can be used.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Pneuma1985:
the evo 4g led is orange... kinda ugly actually.. like an old monitor led light orange!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Dan330:
follow to the current thread and the new app. there are 3 colors.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Pneuma1985:
Yeah I never got it successfully working... Didn't seem to change the led to any color for me my led remained the same color its was stock... I am on a rooted evo.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CarsonHinson2:
hey when i go to download it redirects me to a file extension page :( and i really want this
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cynthia21:
I do not know how to download this app. It doesn't even show up in the market.:mad:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BOO5TED:
Download this and open it on your phone.

VVVV
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] efbabe90:
So how do you get this to work? I unchecked the boxes in the settings and no light showed for text. Is there another setting to change?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] outrage_uk:
I understand that this is an old thread and the app is probably no longer supported - but is there any way of porting this to the HTC Evo 3D (Shooter) ?

It is WiMax compatible so I assume it has a WiMax LED?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] NeoteriX:
AFAIK, there's no separate WiMax LED on the Evo 3D.

i downloaded it but how do i use it ???? im a noob and would really like to use this

hmm it fail on my evo 4g og...

did i miss something..i try test and real time but green 2nd light wont come...just like on other thread..:eek:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
There is one that is green, red, and orange to the right of it. Don't take my word for it, download the PoC to check it out!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Update

Just a quick update on the status of this program: It is moving along pretty well and I hope to have something working by the end of the week with a full app coming sometime over the next couple weeks. As far as the pricing goes, it will be free to the XDA community as my way of giving back but you are welcome to use the button in my sig if you feel so inclined. If I determine it is worth it and some how manage to pull $25 out of my ass, I'm gonna throw it up on the Market for around $0.99 USD.

P.S. I lost some time this weekend trying to get the PRI on my phone update (finally accomplished yesterday) and trying find a ROM/kernel combination that works for the best battery and stability (right now I'm on Stock DeOdexed with KingxKernel #6 and that seems to be working out).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] johncjenc:
I hear you. I lost about 7 hours updating pri, then lost ability to roam for my trouble. A call to sprint solved it but all in all an underwhelming upgrade.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kevinjt:
Great

Great idea!, ill be watching this thread, hopefully we will see it integrated with the Cyanogen roms :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] herbthehammer:
Red, green, or orange for me. Nadda blue.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
I've kinda hit a wall right now...until I get the issue solved unfortunately I have to suspend the project (hopefully for not too long).

The issue isn't the code - in fact I have most of the SMS code together and ready to test. The problem, however, is that I can't test it as ADB is now refusing to play nice with my phone. I have had issues with it randomly crashing which were usually resolved with a restart. Now I can't even open MotoDev without it crashing! Strangely, ADB works fine from the CLI so it almost has to be an issue with MotoDev.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Or just download the PoC as it does exactly the same thing!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KLLSWITCH:
that sucks to hear man was really looking forward to the app soon. hope you get it all figured out.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Thanks for the concern. I think I have it figured out right now with a temporary solution. In theory, my problem is that I am running on a 64-bit platform. Out of curiosity, I installed the JDK, HTC Sync, and MDS in Windows XP Mode which works just fine but IMHO is a ****ty solution. At least I finally found a use for XPM though, LOL.

I also added a change log to the second post.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Some version of Kingclick's kernels kill adb.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] johncjenc:
If you recently flashed a kernel running HAVS it will interfere w adb. Bugs are getting worked out atm.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Thanks guys. Yes, I am running Kingx's BFS #1 which could have something to do with it. What's funny is that ADB only crashes when run from the 64-bit version of MOTODEV Studio and not in the 32-bit or from the CLI.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] johncjenc:
Glad it helped bro. I'm interested in seeing this app in action. Keep up the great work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fchipm:
I am SO stoked for this and would be glad to donate and help test etc.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Thanks for the interest! I'll add you to the list! Hopefully something will be ready by Saturday if I can get past all the environmental issues. ADB has decided to stop working in XPM, too. I'm going back to the stock kernel to see if that helps.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fchipm:
Fantastic :D FWIW I'm running CM6 with its standard kernel and the proof of concept worked wonderfully.

Just a thought - I've always known the Hero and EVO's led aren't color-customizeable due to the fact that green and orange are supposedly two different LEDs. Does this WiMax indicator LED seem to be the same way? Or is it in fact one LED - which could lead to all different kinds of color customization?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Thanks! AFAIK it is a bi-color LED that is red and green. The orange color is a mix of the two.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Well, changing the kernel back to stock made no difference. ADB stills crashes when run natively and now HTC Sync is crashing under XPM. This is making my head spin! Honestly, this is the worst platform I have ever developed for. I'm not giving up though - I WILL find a way to make this work!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ViViDboarder:
This is pretty neat.

Does it do anything other than just test the light? I couldn't tell from reading.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KLLSWITCH:
good don't give up were all waiting with bated breath lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] marctronixx:
im stock unrooted. if this is fair game to us stock folks then put me down also....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KLLSWITCH:
nope has to have root privileges
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] habitual_line_stepper:
I hope you do. I can't wait to see this in action
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] marctronixx:
thank you...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
For now, yes it requires root due to the way I am gaining access the shell but I think I have a work around.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] logie:
So excited to see this.

Sent from my EVO (my addiction), swyped using the XDA App
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] johncjenc:
Try flashing back to htc kernel. I believe your wired tether may be broken.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Thanks John, but I don't see how when I am not using wired tether. (Don't even have it installed.) As I posted the other day, I went back to the stock kernel and it made no difference. I'm trying to get Ubuntu running in Oracle VM to see if that works better but last night it BSOD'd my computer when I attached the phone (only the second time I have seen this machine BSOD under Win 7 in a year of use).

This thread is getting really off topic but it serves the purpose of showing the struggles us devs go through sometimes.

[Edit]Thanks to nebenezer, I may have a possible solution. Thanks bud![/edit]
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fchipm:
Hoping your possible fix is leading to progress - and keepin this thread bumped so more people can become aware and contribute.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
No dice unfortunately. ADB is still crashing, even when connecting wirelessly.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fchipm:
Hm well let me know if there's anything I can do to help - never developed an app but certainly very familliar with adb and other sdk commands etc. Would be glad to input some code for you or whatever and collaborate.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] HashBrownJM:
So is this still only proof-of-concept or does it actually work if I choose to install it?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Thanks for the offer but have it working under an Ubuntu VM using adbWireless.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Yes. The point of a proof-of-concept is to show that something is possible. I should have a partially working app available sometime over the next couple days.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] HashBrownJM:
K, I'll be eagerly following along. Can't wait to get this on my EVO.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
In addition to the two I already have (you know who you are), I am looking for a few good testers for the upcoming release. Please Private Message me if you are interested. Serious inquiries only! I hope to get all of the testers a copy tomorrow or Tuesday and as soon as they report back I'll try to have it out on Wednesday. With this version, you'll be able to set the WiMAX LED as notification for new text (SMS) messages. I'd like to have a fully working version out by the end of Sept. but I am going to be limited on time as I start the fall semester at school tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] habitual_line_stepper:
pmed, always willing to lend a helping hand where I can
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bigrushdog:
just pm'd. I'm at your service sir.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] johncjenc:
I'd like to sign up to test the app. Been following for a good bit, I wanna show off the new led!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Okay. everybody who PMed me is now an official tester. Look for your copies to be coming soon. Thanks guys! I got more support then I had hoped and was looking for!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fchipm:
You rock - can't wait for this! :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ticklemepinks:
where are the pics at???? i'm kinda lost?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] spiicytuna:
GREAT! I'll check for your PM in my inbox :D Thanks for ALL of your hard work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] amigaben:
Is the apk in the initial post supposed to install? I can't get Astro or Root Explorer to read it...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kaw900r:
Works gr8

T/u loaded with no prob opened with file explorer and using red green flash. :cool:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Ok all my testers (the lucky 13 of you lol) have been PMed. I graciously and eagerly await your feedback! Thanks! :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] freeza:
Add me in as a last ditch effort and send it right on over :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Sorry, but I have more testers right now then I really need. I'll keep you in mind for the future, though.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] FAndroidHTC:
app was granted super user permissions but i do not have the option to run at boot or to disable the the use of standard LED anything I could possibly be doing wrong?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Those features are disabled in the proof-of-concept as they did not exist at the time. They will be available in the upcoming release though.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fchipm:
Working with or without my default notifications on. I use aosp messaging plus SMS pop-up. Cm6 here.

But the notification doesn't repeat. The led will flash once and go away. Same for blinking and solid options. Known issue?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enormous:
Do you want testing feedback here? Or in PM?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fchipm:
Meant to ask that myself. Just came across something else - superuser permissions popping up randomly.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] spiicytuna:
My thought are if we're asked to disable the default notifications in SMS then WiFi Notifier should also include the option to set a sound file in addition to the WiFi LED. WiFi LED notifications are great when my phone is on my desk, but I cannot see them in my pocket. I checked SMS messaging and there is no way to disable the LED and leave the sound file. Personally I have a custom sound for SMS messages.....make sense?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fchipm:
Makes sense to me. Basically you want Wimax notifier to include more notification options than just the LED, right? You want it to include sound and vibrate options?

Does it continue to flash for you? Only flashes once for me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] spiicytuna:
I'd start with just sound, but I am sure someone would also want vibrate. Right now not having my sound is going to make this a non-daily-usable option for me. I get notifications about servers and what not via SMS and I also am around the office with my phone in my pocket where I cannot see the WiMax LED and switching back and forth would be a pain.

I am using green flash rapidly and it's still blinking over and over as I am typing this message.... (i sent myself a test text from my email prior to replying)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] johncjenc:
This might be tied to the superuser notifications but i get a random 'wimax notifications started' message
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
I actually wanted the feedback sent via PM but that is alright. The way the notification is supposed to worked is that it flashes the WiMAX LED until the message is detected as being read. There is a bug that I am working on right now where the standard LED does not work properly. (That is why I said to disable your normal notifications.) When the notification goes off, it is set to also vibrate and play the default notification tone which for some unknown reason is not working properly. In the future, I will have options to change this behavior but for now I am not going to mess with the standard LED until I get all the kinks worked out.

The only time it should require SU is when flashing the LED. There is a background service that should only run when the program is started. That services polls every five seconds to see if there are unread messages and if there are none it turns the notification off.

Thank y'all for all of your input!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] graff_king:
Blu,

I am in Mechanicsburg as well so if you need a 2nd evo to test to see what roms/etc it does doesn't run on feel free to hit me up. Once this is done I'll gladly buy you a brew at hwb sometime.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Awesome! Thanks for the offer. PM your contact info and I'll see if I can get in touch with you tomorrow or Thursday before school.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MaverickSITG:
installation

how do u install this and where do u go to look for it to adjust. thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davebu:
did you try to modify the messages.apk to output the LED via the wimax led instead of the default?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
No I didn't touch the messaging app at all. I think a bad variable is what is causing the issue with the stock LED.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MaverickSITG:
how do i get to that, i am rooted am kinda new to this, i downloaded the .apk and appsinstaller but it wont start
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MaverickSITG:
oops sorry i got in between your conversation
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Copy the .apk to your SD card and download Astro or Root Explorer to open it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MaverickSITG:
ok got it thanks. where exactly is this located after installation, thanks again
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MaverickSITG:
never mind sorry i should have looked before asking. i found it in all apps. thanks again
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] StormCell:
Is it possible I don't have this light? Nothing I do will make the light turn on. If I select test for 5 seconds or 30 it's the same it just keeps going until I turn the phone to landscape and then the test stops. But the light never comes on.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Jsimon9633:
Sweet testing it out. This works with sense message apply or only asop messaging app?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Did you select a color rate?

The proof of concept posted on the first does not actually do anything. The version coming in the next couple days should work with anything.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fchipm:
Hey blu - not sure if my PM's are going through. Did you get the one I just sent (perhaps twice?) about the notification not sticking in the bar, making the light stop blinking because it dismisses itself after a second or two?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] johncjenc:
I tried it out w third party messaging app (handcent). I turned off handcent led notifications and turned off all notifications from the native messaging app. Wimax notifier still spawns the native messaging notification then the handcent notification initiates. The wimax led will persist after the notification is cleared and the message is read.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fchipm:
I suppose I'm having the opposite problem. Yeah the Wimax notifier spawns a notification but after 2 seconds POOF it's gone and the light stops. Hmmm.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] johncjenc:
It persists w me if i turn off the original led settings in menu/ system
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] FAndroidHTC:
Cant wait for this to be released as a working version its so awesome!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] spiicytuna:
Excited to see this one! :-D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] andre104623:
I don't if I'm missing something here but I can only get this app to test the wimax led and that's it. It won't let me turn off the sms led on the left. Ideas!?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] veritasgt:
Boo, I want to test.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
To all those who had the issue with the WiMAX notification LED coming on then shutting off I have found the glitch and I think I fixed it. In the way I was originally doing things, I was starting a background service on launch that would poll for new messages every so often and then disable the notifications if there were none. This is overkill, so I moved the start of the service into the new message receiver. Strangely, however, there seems to be a delay (of about 15 seconds on my device) between the receiver and the service which is what caused the issue. To fix it, I added a programmable delay that can be tailored to each EVO as necessary and I also did the same for the polling rate. Using a background service is probably not the best approach, but it is the only way I could find to reliably (somewhat LOL) disable the LED.

As far as the standard notification LED goes, I have disabled that feature until I can figure out how make it work correctly and put together a proper options dialog for it.

To all my testers, you should be able to download an updated version using the link that I originally sent to you. Please let me know how works and with your blessing I will release it to the public.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] johncjenc:
Works well, but only with the native messenger app. It seems to only spawn the native notification (even if its disabled). Third party app won't get wimax notification.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] spiicytuna:
Any chance of also being able to specify a sound file along with the wimax led? When I disable the notifications in the sms app I loose my custom audio notifications....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fchipm:
With the latest build I find that leaving my default notifications on is just fine. The only thing is you'll get two things in the task bar. Just set your SMS program to not flash the LED (or keep it on like I do, two LED's flashing is better than one IMO!)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
Thanks for the report, John. What app are you using? I have been using it with Handcent and it seems to work fine.

Planned for the future. Until then you can re-enable your notifications.

The notification in the task bar was supposed to have been disabled but I guess I missed something. This has been fixed in the release version.

Do y'all think this is ready to roll yet?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] habitual_line_stepper:
The updated version works great. Using it with ChompSMS, the light now stays lit until the message is checked. Whether it's checked immediately or 10 minutes later the light starts working and stops working when it should
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fchipm:
With what we talked about (disabling toast notifications and getting rid of the notification in the bar) I say you're good to go. You could and should I think work on more color and rate options in the future.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bludragon742:
The second change was already made but set up wrong in the version I sent you and the first I am working on right now. As far as the colors and rates go, I am limited to only what the LED can do from the CLI. If I find a way around those limitations in the future, I will add this feature in. Thanks again for all your help and input!
