[Droid X Themes and Apps] scary alien:
All,

I realized after posting in the general app announcement thread that you/we Droid X users might want to be aware of this app written specifically for the Droid X (but might be useful to other phones too).

So, here's the link to the general app announcement thread and a brief summary of what this app is all about:

[App] BattMonX (Droid X Battery State Monitor via LED Status)

BattMonX is a utility for the Motorola Droid X to turn on the LED indicator light while the phone' screen is off to indicate its battery state: charged, discharging, or charged/full.

The Droid X does not currently indicate the battery charging state via the LED indicator light as other phones do.

This app is free in the Market. Search for "BattMonX".

This app is intended bridge that gap until such functionality is restored by VZW/Motorola.

QR code, screenshots, more details are in the link provided above.

Thanks and enjoy!

I missed this feature coming from my Blackberry thank you!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] scary alien:
You are most welcome! Its been a fun project to work on. I hope to get the set-on-boot / run-on-boot thing figured-out soon. Stay tuned.

Coming from the HTC Droid Eris, I was used to this feature too.

There were lots of us on launch day that were posting as to whether anyone had a lit LED while the phone was being charged. I actually saw my LED light up (not through a text notification or anything) very briefly during the first OTA update we got, but never since then.

Anyway, glad to have finally learned enough Android programming to have made this feature available to folks. By the way, I've been keeping my discharging state LED color set to blue--looks cool :cool: ;).

Cheers!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] luke1333:
nice idea but if you run a custom rom it usually adds this already without the need for another app. im running tranq and it has it
[Droid X Themes and Apps] scary alien:
Thanks for the feedback. I didn't know this (I'm still running stock 2.2 (although rooted)).

The app development request came from someone running ApeX, so it must not be in that particular ROM yet.

I'm a little curious as to why VZW/Motorola didn't include this support natively...

Anyway, cheers!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] luke1333:
yeah no problem its a great app if you run stock 2.2 i agree 100%!!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] DRTMI:
I'm on Fission 2.2.2 and they don't light up either. Until now that is.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] scary alien:
Nice! :D

Thank you and cheers! :)

v1.3 just uploaded: now supports set-on-boot option

Just a quick thread bump to let everyone know that I've updated the app to version 1.3 that now includes a set-on-boot / run-on-boot option.

Select this option via the menu (menu -> More -> Set on Boot -> select True or False).

Enjoy!

By the way, thanks for all of the great feedback and support from everyone--its made creating this app for everyone worthwhile. I very much appreciate it! Cheers!

version 1.4 of BattMonX just published

Version 1.4 of BattMonX has been uploaded to the Market.

Changes to this version include:

* Support of five new LED color codes (dark orange, orange, dark violet, dark green, deep sky blue)

* Support for low-battery condition indicator:

selectable low-battery percentage threshold (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%)

action to take when threshold is reached (none, LED on, LED blink)

LED color selection for low-battery condition (will take precedence over other battery states)

Hope you find this app and these changes useful. Thanks for all of the great feedback!

Cheers!

v1.6 just uploaded: now works w/SMS text notifications

All,

Just a quick thread-bump to let everyone know about the latest release of the app: version 1.6 now works with SMS text notifications!

So now, you should be able to run the app all of the time and still get notified when a text message comes in.

The timeliness of the seeing the SMS notification is still dependent on the polling interval you are using, but app steps aside when the SMS notification comes in and then resumes when its been acknowledged (by reading the text) or cleared (by the notification pull-down's Clear button).

Please note that the app doesn't actually control the color or blinking status of the SMS text notification, my app just allows it to come in and been seen--so I cannot change its color or behavior.

I also added the option / ability to make the LEDs blink (or stay on like before) for the charging / discharging / charged state like the functionality I added for the low-battery condition in v1.4.

Enjoy the app and its recent changes--I hope you find the app useful.

Also, I do very much appreciate everyone's feedback and support! Thank you!

v1.7 just uploaded to Market (very useful fixes and improvements)

version 1.7 changes include:

- added strategy to auto-recover from Android auto-killing the app's service; should make the app much more stable and without unwanted shutdowns

- replaced multiple menu settings w/standard Settings/Preferences menu item

- dynamically determine battery status directory (I did this to see if the app would work on more phones (with mixed success); should allow for users that don't see that the app was written for the Droid X to at least see if it will work on their phone (does not appear to work on a stock HTC Evo 4G, HTC Droid Eris))

- re-instituted screen lock to portrait mode to prevent orientation change from causing FCs

- fixed integer parsing issue causing some reported crashes (probably just experienced by non-Droid X phones)

- added option for 3 minute polling-interval

- added larger range for low-battery percentage threshold

- fixed issue where LED would not blink when charging

Anyway, if you have any issues, comments, questions, etc., please contact me at scary.alien@gmail.com.

Cheers and have a great New Year!

v1.8 just published to the Market

All,

I've just published version 1.8 to the Market and updated the main thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859651) with information and screenshots... Lots of new features and improvements. Change log for 1.8 includes:

- supported new experimental features:

* ability to keep LED on while the screen is on (root only)

* support white LED color when used with the "LED is Always ON" experimental (root-only) feature/setting

- updated w/better strategy for dynamically locating battery state and LED notification files to TRY to support non-Motorola Droid phones

- added 'Suspend' feature to turn off LED and pause battery status monitoring until resumed (un-checked)

- added strategy to make app more timely/responsive to SMS text notifications and preference/setting changes

- fixed set-on-boot and charging-color preference mis-match and other minor preference/settings issues (this was causing a few folks issues...if you still have an issue, try an un-install and fresh re-install--this will clear-out the saved preferences)

- supported amber LED color in addition to the original red/green/blue LED colors (for phones that support an amber LED color)

Anyway, this version should be much more stable and responsive than the prior versions (although v1.7 was pretty solid, :D).

Enjoy, and please visit https://sites.google.com/site/scaryalienware/battmonx for full details and screen shots. Shoot me an email at scary.alien@gmail.com for any issues, comments, questions, etc.

Cheers!

v2.2 uploaded to the Market

Uploaded version 2.2 of the app to the Market last night. Here's the highlights:

- added more strategies for making the app more responsive when screen off & unplugged (I implemented a partial wakelock for one minute after the screen is turned off and unplugged from power source)

- added 'Set LED Colors by Percent Charged' feature (i.e., you can assign a different color to each 10% range of battery percent-charged)

- added 'Rainbow Mode' (under Fun Stuff) to cycle through the various LED colors

- added 'Keep CPU On' feature to allow you keep the CPU awake/on when the screen is turned off (this is only true when monitoring is active);

*** Warning *** use of this option will consume more battery!

- added preset-color buttons to LED color tester (easier to test main colors)

Hope you enjoy this new version.

Cheers!

Notes re. other versions not previously listed:

- v1.9 was just a very minor update to not display percent signs in menu items that was causing FCs in some Milestone phones running non-stock ROMs

- v2.0 was the original release of what is now v2.2; I had to rescind v2.0 to fix a loop (and the FCs) caused when using the color none/off under certain circumstances

- v2.1 was a re-publish of v1.9 until I could fix the FC issue in v2.0

Thanks again!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] scary alien:

BattMonX v2.9 published to the Market

All,

Version 2.9 of BattMonX has been uploaded to the Market. This version includes code to auto-recognize the 1% charge_counter file used on many Motorola phones. It also addresses the product-name changes that CyanogenMod ROMs impose that kept prior versions of this app from recognizing a Moto Droid family phone and auto-identifying their battery status and LED notification files.

Donate version of this app will be uploaded shortly.

Cheers and thanks for everyone's support and kind feedback.

RECENT CHANGES

Version 2.9 - 09-Jul-2011:

- improve auto-identification of charge_counter file (especially for Moto Droid X's running CM7;

this should also help other phones that support the charge_counter file)

- minor fixes to better support Moto Droid phones recent GingerBread 2.3 update:

* auto-recogize GB's different LED directory (w/o needing to manually locate files)

- turned off debug msg logging by default for fresh installs (option to enable is still present)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Tivo7:
I'm not going to use this because I use my LED for other things, but its a great app. I tested it and it works great on my DX.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] scary alien:
Thank you very much for the kind words! :)

You can still use the mode where it will just display a status bar icon with the current battery percentage (just turn off the LED notifications in the menu settings).

Cheers!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Tivo7:
Yeah I saw that, another great feature. I changed my battery icons to show the battery level in number form though.
[Android Themes] DroidRC1:
There has been a lot of photos of gingerbread and it minor ui changes..One of them are the black and green notification bar with the gray when you drop it down..Im wondering if any themer can make a notification bar JUST like it..I know alot of people will love this and I would too..Im running on a Nexus One CM 6.1 nightly build..Morph or flash-able by recovery is ok with me!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] PhoneConnect247:
can i just copy and paste the data.img file when i move to a diffrent Android build? I have been using MDJays Sense Clean 2.4 and want to try out his Froyo Hd 4.2 build really bad but really dont want to go through the whole shebang of redownloading alll my stuff
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ndn715:
many times it is possible, but never recommended unless it is the same android build with a small update. it is definitely not recommended to reuse your data.img between Clean 2.4 and an HD as _everything_ is different...

however, i try tons of android roms and only have to set up a few things (preferences, shortcuts).

get a copy of Titanium Backup (the pro version is very much worth it) and then you will be able to batch backup/restore all of your apps. you can backup system settings too, pretty much everything, but i only backup/restore apps and their data. probably personal preference, but i dont want system settings to be restored to a different type of rom.

hope that helps, its fairly painless and the best/most compatible way ive seen to switch builds easily...

Hello all. First of all I'm just an average user with no experience in android flashing so far. Today I decided that I cannot wait anymore for Kies update so I'm gonna flash my phone to 2.2 finally, even though I'm perfectly happy with the phone as it is now, but I want Flash on it so bad.

My phone in kies is:

So if anybody is bored enough and would feel like helping a noob here, please do!

I want to install the LATEST and one of the OFFICIAL/ORIGINAL, with no tweaks yet, ROM. I guess the BUJP8 is latest, correct? ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=850229 ) ---> MY CSC: "MOT"

Also my phone can't do recovery mode, so I guess I need a fix there :-(

I greatly appreciate all the help.

Roebeet - are you starting out by nvflashing the raw Advent firmware and tweaking from there? Or are you pulling pieces out of mounted images from the Advent Vega firmware? The firmware I found on the Advent Vega site is a bunch of raw IMG files and the nvflash binary/DLLs.
