[Q] Trackball blinking since root? - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Recently rooted and flashed KaosFroyo v38. Prior to rooting the trackball would glow (similar to a Macs 'sleep') and the LED would blink when a message was missed. Since rooting, when a message is missed, the trackball blinks very short (similar to the way the LED used to) and the LED doesn't blink at all. I've read about different disablers, and been checking all of the settings in the message apps, but is there a way to restore the lights original glow/functions?
Thanks!

If you go under settings, cyanogen settings, user interface you can go in to led notifications and there are a good amount of things you can change in there. The only colors that work on the eris is green, yellow (led) and white(trackball). I'm not on Kaos' rom but I'm sure his has those options availible and it does work fine on other roms. Kaos is an awesome dev so I'm sure it all works fine on his rom as well.

[Q] Notification LED

Hello,
I have unrooted HTC Legend with Android 2.1 and I tried a lot of applications for the LED notification (even also applications not designed exactly for Legend - Missed reminder, Missed call, Led Tester, HeroLED, Blink, DesireLED, etc.).
If I have tried all of this application and set different colors and different time, the LED diode have always green color and it is always blinking.
Does somebody know some application which really works or what shoud I do for it?
Please help me. Thx

blink notification LED when screen is on

Hi, I'm running neutrino rom and I'm trying to find a way for the notification LED to blink even if the screen is on. How can I accomplish this? I've tried lightflow but the LED still only blinks when the screen is off.
I would like this function, since if I have my phone in the dock and the screen has gone to screensaver mode I can't look in the satusbar to see if I have a notification. And since the LED only blinks if the screen is off I have to touch the screen to check and I find that silly to have to do. Sometimes I forget and then hours later I find out a have had missed calls and texts.

I believe our phone is one of those that doesn't blink led with screen on. I know lightflow warns of this as does my handcent. Don't think its possible unless someone else proves me wrong.
that's strange. if I mess with the LED notifaction settings under Cyanogenmod setting I can test the LED notification while the screen is on. Somehow it must be possible.

Is that cm7 or 9? I noticed in 7 the settings just aren't there (for me anyway) to use led for anything other than system default. With 9 I noticed led functions totally different like the charging led working (love that!) So maybe its rom dependent.
I'm running Neutrino CM7. the LED notifcationsettigns are definetly there. maybe it is rom dependant. Does the LED work for you if the screen in on running CM9?

I honestly haven't had a chance to test that with cm9. I load the rom and test the things that I use most in order, wifi, camera. I don't get passed the camera issue on most. That's a bug I can't live with since I take tons of pics. I will try to remember to test it out next time I flash. Im on rc1 of 7 now getting ready to update to rc2, maybe there will be something there. Where did you find the settings for it in neutrino?
Just upgraded to cm7.2 rc2 and found the screen on led setting. Works great for me. Just wish I could get a charging solid led that goes off at 100% I got spoiled from my flipside I guess but its just so much nicer to not have to turn the screen on to verify full charge. Lightflow didn't work for me.

[Q] Color of notification led?

Hi there,
Has any of you have any luck changing the color (and/or blinking behavior) of the notification led (e.g. when an sms is received)?
On my CM7'ed Desire I had full control - e.g. from Go SMS - but with this Desire X I'm stuck with the default green blinking.
I just rooted and flashed Elegancia on today, hoping that would put me (or the apps, actually) in control, but no...
BR,
Egholm
I believe there are apps that will let you change your LED on your phone.
Sent from my GSM Galaxy Nexus
Only two colors on Desire X if I remember correctly.
Why would you want to change the colour. Maybe i am missing something .:cyclops:Green seems ok and orange when charging is also ok.
hi
Missed call or SMS -LED flashes only 5min.This is the problem.
ORA1: It's annoying that when I leave the phone at home, and a notification-event occurs that I don't hear, I cannot see from the LED which event happened (remember I didn't hear, I just glance at the phone every and so often when I pass it). Then it's super nice to be able to see if it is a missed call, an SMS, an email, and so and so forth.
Also, the standard blinking behavior - blinking briefly every 1-1.5 seconds - is silly. It requires starring at the phone for a second to judge if an event is there. A constant LED is much nicer.
That's why
Klapo, yeah, but mixing the red with the green, you get an orange So, three colors, and if I could control the blinking, that's infinite combinations ;P
Obj261, after trying different apps, I stumbled over "Light Flow 3.5.2 (lite)". Its the only one that I've seen being able to control the LED succesfully. But obviously I'm too stupid to make it work (consistently) beyond the "testing capabilities" from within the app
I hoped that others have had this need, as well :/
I would just want to know if it's RGB or just green/orange.
I would love to control it via LightFlow but the hardware must support it first.
katman4, it's only green, orange and red.
(But still I haven't found the magic setting in lightflow that makes it work consistently, so be aware of that)
Now someone can design an app that when you have a notification of any sort the whole screen flashes in a colour.
Cant be too difficult for one of the boffins to design:good::good::good::good::victory::victory:

[Q] JellyBAM - any way to STOP the led option completely?

I just installed JellyBAM today and so far it's working great, but theres one 'feature' that I really don't prefer and I can't seem to figure out how to stop it. As we all know the AT&T GNote 1 was released without a notification LED. JellyBAM has a feature that makes the buttons at the bottom of the phone blink every so often when you get an email, text, etc. I've gone into the LED section of the settings and tried setting the On, and Off settings to OFF and I still get a blink from time to time. I don't want this. I tend to get a lot of email at night, and I don't want my phone's buttons blinking on and off all night.
Is there any way to just disable this completely? Thanks for any help.

You might want to take your question to the jellybam forum as that rom is not supported on xda

[Q] Green LED Notification Issues

Just got a refurbished ATT HTC One X+, right away unlocked bootloader, twrp recovery, flashed latest colored version elegancia rom to be right back to where i was. Everything is fine but noticing the green led notification light is buggy!
When i get a missed call the green led light just stays full lit, does not blink just stay on until i check my device and after i see the missed call the green light finally turns off.
When i get a text message it blinks like normal. When i wake up the device though the green led stays fully lit and does not turn off until i check the new text message.
When i get a new e-mail i get ZERO led notification light!
Problem is that i didn't mess with this device when it came in the mail to see if it was working before so have nothing to compare it to. I do install the rom with full wipe to be safe and everything else seems to be working as it should. I'm sure i could try a full factory reset but just hate to erase everything from SD card and go through all that so saving that as a last resort option.
I do have under settings all the stock settings and using stock HTC messaging app and dialer/phone. Under LED notifications all are checked but not working as it should.
Not sure if there is a fix someone could direct me too or just got a bunk refurbished device? Trying to now get ANOTHER refurbished device replacement but will create another thread on that.
