[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 3octaves:
All done and no go, even deleted all references in registry, as soon as I start to edit settings in blinker I get "an unexpected error has occurred" and have to quit.

Really disappointed reinstalling 1.2 has not worked.

Will try it again after my next hard reset, it'll all be good again then.

Thank you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
Yes, in the such a case, Blinker is dormant - you shouldn't see any cpu usage at all. You can also check to see Blinker's status in the settings application, in the "about" tab - you should see "Blinker service status: dormant".

That's odd - maybe it's something to do with the ROM you're using. Blinker determines if there is a notification according to the registry keys under [HKLM\System\State\Shell\Notifications]. On my device, when I dismiss the notifications those keys get deleted... apparently on your device those keys are not deleted some reason... If it's not too hard - could you please verify that this is case? If it is indeed the case, maybe we can use the [HKLM\System\State\Shell\Notifications\Active] key - can you see if there is any change in that key when you dismiss the notifications?

Thanks,

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] p50kombi:
Confirmed.

Whilst no notification is raised, and all are in fact dismissed, I have different folders in that location (have 4 fodlers in there, one being the folder "active").

Only key in there is "(Default)"

Active folder is empty though, no registry entries under that folder except (Default)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jb789:
I doubt this will solve your problem, but there used to be an issue in WM5 with stuck notifications & some claim it's still a problem in WM6.x. Here's some info:

http://frommypocket.pocketprimer.com/2007/02/13/notifications--alerts.aspx

and

http://www.pocketmax.net/freeware/pmclean.html

Of course, the best way to ensure there's no problems with corruption is to run Task 29 & reflash from scratch.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
I also have some folders there, usually (it's not supposed to be empty), but once I'm dismissing the notifications - all the relevant folders disappear. For reference the folders Blinker responds to are:

Appointment: {15F11F90-8A5F-454C-89FC-BA9B7AAB0CAD}

EMail: {A877D65A-239C-47A7-9304-0D347F580408}

MissedCall: {A877D660-239C-47A7-9304-0D347F580408}

SMS: {A877D65B-239C-47A7-9304-0D347F580408}

VMail {A877D661-239C-47A7-9304-0D347F580408}

MMS: {3C781384-05f3-4035-A8F9-C23F19A93AF0}

If any of them exists - Blinker acts as if there is an active notification.

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
This is another weird behavior - Blinker does no interaction with the notifications (apart for checking if the keys exist in the registry) I can't think of any reason for your notifications to disappear...

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] p50kombi:
It's definitely not a problem in the notification que.

I use memmaid and have since early days (about 8 years ago?) and can confirm no notification que problem is present in my device.

However, after a soft reset my registry has cleaned the entries in the notification folder.

after a notification a folder is added which is then not deleted after dismissing the ontification.

VEry strange indeed.

I can also confirm it is not a task29 problem as I perform Task29 before every flash and have experienced this behaviour on multiple versions of Miri's Rom.

Maybe it's a Miri Rom problem, but this rom is the greatest (super fast and super...super stable) out there for HD2 so I am not willing to trade it in.

If you want me to test anything else, let me know but for now as notifications aren't erased, I guess I can't use Blinker..

Shame....

Good luck though.....still a great app...wish it worked on my rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jb789:
Well, I don't think they "disappeared", they just weren't all displayed via the pop-up to be dismissed/snoozed/etc. As they occurred in real time, only one pop-up would show instead of one with the < > arrows to select the others. As I recall, the notifications screen from the taskbar would still show the correct number, but selecting from there would still only show one. Selecting "Dismiss All" from any dialog also wouldn't work correctly. I wasn't smart enough to look in the registry to see what was going on in there, though. ;)

Maybe if there's some way to delay Blinker checking those keys, or have it check different keys, that would help? I'll be happy to do more testing, just let me know.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jb789:
I got curious & tried again with changing various settings, but no luck. I did check both of the registry keys mentioned & nothing was in there after dismissing the 1 notification of 8 that popped up. However, after another reminder went off, the Notifications screen (from the taskbar) still showed 8. ReRemind also still "sees" the "lost" notifications somewhere & alerts about them even after the 1 is dismissed, so maybe another look at it's code will turn something up. I couldn't find any other obvious & relevant Notifications references in the registry, but I certainly could have missed something.

I should add that in my latest testing, I only notice this quirk when the phone is suspended / sleeping & then wakes up to display the notifications, even with both "Wakeup notification" & "ForceUnattendedMode" selected. If the phone is awake when the multiple simultaneous notifications hit, everything seems OK. Hopefully that may shed some light on the cause or possible workarounds.

unistall HTC hd2

i cant unistal it.. device goes in freeze!!!:(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jb789:
Did you try to stop the Blinker process first? Also, make sure Blinker is not set to start automatically with Windows, soft-reset your phone, and then try to uninstall.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jb789:
I've found a workaround of sorts for this issue by having Profile Switch wake my phone just before the multiple Reminders come up. Of course, this requires me to be vigilant & set Profile Switch in advance when too many Reminders will come up at the same time. If there were some way for Blinker to delay its actions for a few seconds or even wake the phone first, that would be ideal.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jb789:
Blinker is working pretty well for me now that I've combined it with Profile Switch & ReRemind on my Touch Pro. I'm finally able to take advantage of what should be built in functionality, Thanks! I've got 3 questions/issues that would really make Blinker almost perfect for non-HD2s:

1) Is it possible to change the default charging LED sequences? It just doesn't seem to work right on the Touch Pro. Maybe it's partly related to the LEDs I have selected, but with "AC Notifications" enabled it won't display the "green" battery LED if there's no notifications pending, and it doesn't seem to reliably display fully charged, even if I specify a FullPower sequence. Also, if I disable "AC Notifications", Blinker doesn't seem to release control of the LEDs properly or fast enough for the default Touch Pro charging indicator to work. Then, after charging, I have to manually "wake" Blinker to get it to re-recognize existing notifications (I've got Unattended & Wakeup disabled since they drain too much battery). Maybe the best solution would be for Blinker to automatically re-check the Notifications Store when unplugged (or see issue 2 below)?

2) It might be nice to be able to configure the WakeupNotification duration. This would also serve as a workaround for the disabled "AC Notifications" charging issue above. Again, I've got it disabled to save battery, but 15-20 minutes should work fine in my case.

3) For devices like the Touch Pro or Diamond with more than 2 LED options, it would be ideal if more LEDs could be added through the Advanced tab. Or, maybe an option to add extra LEDs as part of the sequences?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Wickedk:
I want to know if there is a way to control every LED backlight on the HTC Touch Diamond I mean every seperate one,like when there is a incoming call only the pick up icon is backlighted etc
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
Implementing a configurable minimum duration for the wake-up notification as well as more LEDs shouldn't be too difficult to implement. Rechecking the notification state after the power state changed shouldn't be too hard too.

I don't have too much time these days, so it might take a while...

Just released version 1.5 with some of jb789's requests.

Didn't do much testing though... so let me know if there are problems...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jb789:
Still tinkering with it, but looking good! The only issue I see so far is that entering custom LEDs through the settings application don't seem to get written to the registry. Custom LEDs do seem to work fine if set directly in the registry, though. This is on my Raph800 CDMA Touch Pro running WM 6.5.3 29020. Also, I did import my old Blinker 1.4 registry settings, but I don't think that could have caused any problems.

Edit: I should clarify that importing the old registry settings apparently just populated the same settings that still exist in the new Blinker version. All new Blinker registry settings were still there & unaffected.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gpobernardo:
Good work on the application!

Regarding the apparent "bug" where the blinking just stops when the device goes to sleep, after much trial and error, I might have found a solution.

Using another application, such as Advanced Configuration Tools for Windows Mobile, I enabled all power saving modes and performed a soft reset as required. So far, now being the 3rd day, the blinking hasn't stopped as it did before.

I own an HTC T3333. Hope this one helps.

Start on my HTC Touch3G only after unlock

Is a fantastic app, and work fine on my HTC Touch 3G.

I have only a small problem, when I turn on my device start lock and Blinker not start automatically but start when i unlock the device.

Anyone have any idea how I can start blinker automatically with device lock?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gpobernardo:
Again, nice app, zevele, and thanks for the acknowledgment!

Unfortunately the blinking did stop again after updating to the newer versions.

However, unlike before when the blinking would just stop (randomly) at any time of the day, I noticed that the blinking (at least on my HTC T3333) stops everytime the date changes, i.e., the LED stops blinking at exactly 12:00 midnight. All I have to do is restart the service of the application so that the LED would start blinking again (and it does run uninterruptedly...until the next midnight). I have made observations for the newer (1.5 and 1.6) versions, and they all behave similarly. Perhaps the bug has its roots with the system date or the system time?

The same settings (as I posted before: enabling the power saving modes, the "force unattended mode" and the "use wake up notification") apply during the observations.

I hope this would help in finding the minor "bug" with the application.

Good luck!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
Indeed there was an issue regarding midnight in the wakeup loop. I've modified the code and it should be fixed now... Please let me know if it solves the problem (cab attached). If it's good I'll update the first post.

His do I take just one part (like the notification bar) out of a theme ...I read where.people say" I took that out of the black glass theme" etc....how does one do that?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] braway:
if you mean like get part of the theme (like the bar or some icons) and replace it on your current rom?

similar to this:

1. get /system/framework/framework-res.apk

2. decompile

3. locate the corresponding images in res/drawable-hdpi (or hdpi-v4)

4. take a clean framework-res.apk

5. decompile

6. replace the images

7. recompile the now not so clean framework-res.apk (and hope that there are no errors)

8. put the new one on your phone

9. reboot

...

12. profit

:P

If this device is not rooted by Monday, I will just have to return it... I hate it when a device is locked down, and yes I am sorta hoping that Monday Samsung unveils the Nexus Two...

EDIT: Okay, a lot of you love this device, I am just saying that this may be another reason why I would return the device, I have more things I dislike about this device besides not having a root. So for anyone telling me to return it already, sure I just might, maybe because I have more other reasons.

About the Nexus two, I am just saying that any other device might have some things that I like more. I am simply asking if someone is working on it.

Be patient. The devs are working on rooting TWO 4G phones (this and the G2). I'm in the market for a new Android device myself and I'm on the fence until one of these gets rooted or until the N2 comes out.

Some devices are rooted before they are even on the market, I think I just might return this device if the Nexus 2 is real

[myTouch 4G General] XfooYen:
This phone is locked down the same way the G2 is. When devs figure out permanent root on the G2, we will have it too. It ain't gonna be by Monday though. You might as well return your phone today. :rollseyes:
[myTouch 4G General] WilliamStern:
Damn OP, you really need to chill! Not all phones are the same, and not all get rooted right when they come out.

Yes, it sucks that we're dealing with a new chip, and it's gonna take time to crack, but that's the way it is. I assure you that we have some of the best Dev's working really hard to get this going.

You demanding to have root by Monday or you'll return the phone only makes you look like a fool! Hate to say it, but we're not going to see root for weeks, or even months for matter.

All I gotta say now is... walk your sorry ass back to T-Mobile, and exchange the phone for 2 tin cans, and a long ass string.

wow it amazes me how you can give a deadline... how are you helping to gain root access? what have you contributed? or are you just waiting around for other people to do all the work so you can just flash a rom :/

Also to be clear I dont understand how you can say you hate being "locked down"... say you did get root and flashed a rom then aren't you just locked down in a different way? (now having anything that dev personally likes on your phone, instead of what the htc dev's like)

sorry for the little rant it just drives me nuts how everyone seems to want things done for them around here these days...
[myTouch 4G General] hammondnav:
Just because it's a new Nexus doesn't mean it's going to be as good, or better than Nexus One. And just because previous Samsung phones were root-able, doesn't mean this one is going to be as well.

If it's like the rest of Galaxy S phones, then go ahead and knock yourself out. Make sure you enjoy your functional GPS until Monday though.
[myTouch 4G General] theinternot:
I was just gonna say the same thing... from what I have read the N2 is basically a Vanilla Galaxy S phone... the major hardware issuing plaguing the announcement is most likely due to GPS hardware issues.

With the updated visionary app that starts on boot it works like a permanent root. I'm sure there are some restrictions but I am using it rooted for setcpu and have not had one issue with this yet. Granted I don't use the terminal to transfer things though.

[myTouch 4G General] Smokexz:
I just like to explore what my device can do, I love having the option to install this little fix or this ROM. It's freedom what I like... I understand everyone loved the device, I have my own reasoning, I came from a Galaxy S, I had no complaints other than 2.2 taking more than forever to come.

Most of you are insulting me rather than thinking if I have different reasons, I don't just simply dislike the device because it has no root, I have other reasons. You all may enjoy the device however I could probably name a couple of things that just make me dislike the device, mainly that Genius button.

Continue to tell me I should return my phone etc etc, however if it is not rootable more reason for me to return the thing and get another device.

I don't know if there is a Nexus 2, I don't know if it will be rootable, but as of now if it is real, I might get it.
[myTouch 4G General] gatesmarch123:

dude why do u need it to be rooted anyways? this phone is badass with out rooting it, u cant overclock it yet so for me there is no point until they first off can get it rooted and 2 if they can overclock it like the g2 and vibrant. but i can wait im sure they will figure it out. come on now they managed to get the hd2 running android 2.2 on a phone that doesnt even have android period, so im sure they will figure it out. i would rather them take there time then rush it and mess something up.
[myTouch 4G General] InGeNeTiCs:
First and foremost, if you have other reasons for ditching the new mytouch, voice them. You can't just post a new thread demanding root OR ELSE. It makes you look like a major d-bag. However, I do agree with you. It's frustrating that it can't be rooted just yet, and there a bunch of other things I don't like, mainly the genius button, but I'm not going to get rid of it for that reason. That's retarded. You can't buy an unreleased phone and expect it to be rooted immediately. Devs put countless hours into making these things possible, and the rudest thing you can do is be an ungrateful snot by giving the developer community an ultimatum. We, as a community, DO NOT CARE which phone you have. If you want to get rid of it, go for it. One less whiner.

As far as root access is concerned, I'm fairly confident that the g2 and mytouch are close enough in hardware and mechanism that with one, will come the other. And as of this writing, the g2 has a bigger following. (and more patient people)

For me, root means removing bloatware, and cleaning up the stock rom. It looks good enough as is, and for now, I don't see much reason to change it. I'll do some experimenting with visual changes in the framework, but that'll probably be the extent of it. Did anybody else here miss the HTC dialer? I sure did!!!(though I'm not totally sure I like the way this espresso one works...)

Edit: if google chooses samsung as their odm for a follow-up nexus device then they're morons. Touchwiz sucks, samsung support sucks, samsung bugfixes suck, hardware planning sucks.

Reasoning: Touchwiz is annoying and the interface lacks a professional appearance...needs less form, more function! - Samsung is useless if you have a problem. USELESS. Kies..oden??? Really? - Everybody take a quick second and look up a picture of the galaxy s(at least the t-mobile version). Do you see a status led? No, you don't. Why? There isn't one. At all. You need to turn your phone on to see if there is an email, or a text, or a missed call. How about the epic4G...samsung made a desktop dock. Sweet right? No. Place the phone in it and it's resting on the volume keys. WTF? I'm sure an led wouldn't have killed samsung in production costs, and designing a dock that presses keys is a huge oversight, and should have been noticed by quality control immediately. It's an easy fix. I can't stand behind a company that puts out such half-finished products. Samsung: please complete the development process before you release your products to consumers. I'd rather wait an extra month and have something fully functional.

Summary: I've had a galaxy S and an epic 4g. Both of them had glaring issues, all of which were swept under the rug by samsung. Generally by a "updates and bugfixes are coming soon" type of response. Personally, that's just a terrible thing to do to consumers. Nothing brings repeat business more than a product that 'just works' right out of the box.

Sorry this was so long-winded...I'm tired and not thinking straight

I was reading this to see if anyone mentioned dev names that are working on it since I don't follow the G2 boards, but man, the ones that mentioned Samsung are just ignorant. Perhaps because you never owned the N1, but you don't even need to own one to know why I'm saying this.

Did HTC every updated the N1? Ever? Did they? No. So what makes you think Samsung, or any other manufacturer, will be the ones updating this new "nexus 2" phone that is being backed up by Google themselves, if it does exist?

What's with this *****ing about the Genius button? Try it out a bit, I can see the usefulness. And really, is it any less useful than the Search button on other phones?

If you don't have some explicit, dire, immediate need for root (which you appear NOT to have by saying "i just want to play around"), then you can accomplish most wants by using Visionary and be patient while those who actually contribute to the cause do their work...with apparent little thanks from those like you.
