just tried this on a friend's eris, works like a charm.
if this works... I will love you forever...
THIS WORKS. I couldn't go up and my trackball used to spam left, I can now scroll up easily and haven't been scrolling left at all. I'll update if it degrades back.
wow
You sir are a god! lol
edit: Actually it's still working better but when I scroll left it goes right. Weird =p I'm trying to fix.
fixed again
hahaha...nice...
This works COMPLETELY perfectly. My trackball is white again.
Thank you!
Worked perfectly on my G1 using a math notebook . Now I can scroll up again. I thought only taking the whole phone apart would solve it!
Thank you very much!
This really works! my Eris trackball stopped working on like day two of owning the phone. I stumbled across this while reading the forum and thought I would bump it to make sure more people see it. I know a lot of us have trackball issues, might as well give it a try, worked for me.
Just my two cents. I tried this out (wasn't having trackball issues but thought id clean mine up) instantly started having troubles with my trackball. It wouldn't grip right and id have to push down hard to get it to roll. Almost like it became to smooth. Anyways after about a month it works flawless again and yes now its whiter but just thought I would share my experience. Point being "if it works, don't try to fix it"
A note for smokers that keep the phone in the same pocket as your pack of smokes...the tobacco shreds from the pack can get under the trackball...just an FYI...I used this trick to fix mine a little while ago and stopped putting the phone in that pocket...
Nah here's what you should do.
1. Go to Verizon, *****ing constantly.
2. Get new Eris.
3. Break trackball on new Eris.
Repeat steps 1-3 until they agree to give you an Incredible or other Android phone.
Problem solved!
...I should probably get right on that myself...
EDIT: Just tried original post to see if I could clean my trackball. Yeah it's white, but now its pressed in and hardly scrolls. I'm on my way to getting a new phone!! Everyone should do the same.
I'd rather have the Incredible, besides, Droid 2 hasn't been rooted yet, and Incredible has higher res camera... but I did this, some black stuff came out and it seems to scroll smoother now. I've never had the trackball issue though.

It kinda screwed mine up. I dont care that the Droid 2 hasnt been rooted yet. I love that phone lol and the physical keyboard is a plus. Im so tired of this ****ty Eris.
Yeah droid 2 doesn't NEED root. And it'll have it soon anyway =p

Actually I was just looking in the forums and they do in fact have root! I just think they haven't unlocked the bootloader yet
Works like a charm in my Nexus One!!!
awesome!!!
thanks...
Worked for a While
This worked on my Eris for a little while, then the trackball finally died. Did give me enough time to do the RUU, and then send it back. On Eris #2 now.
Thanks for the tip!
Finally my trackball works again!!!!

900 year old Gingerbread Droid you have? Yessss? How you grow so big eating this stuff?
Fantastic! Was just about to purchase a new trackball when I found this, worked like a charm!
Is it possible to use the touch buttons as an LED notifier for missed calls, email, and SMS? Sure they cant change colors but at least it could blink every X seconds/minutes.
You do Realize this has been asked before.. I sent Jac a thread that has this working on the I9000.. Not sure if he's still looking into it or not though.
its already done for Captivate.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780732
Whats included:
-Correct Screen auto-rotate
-HSUPA support
-MobileAP support (aka wireless tethering)
-Selecting with power button in recovery mode
-External SD card support
-Postboot scripts
-Voodoo lagfix
-Softkey Backlight Notification
I tried and got bricked... so if someone can make this for Vibrant i will be happy.
I use the app noLED. Works pretty well. Found it in the market.

I personally don't care for that app. It's okay idea, but what really needs to get done is samsung to implement the Notifications into the buttons. I've seen what the i9000 has done, it's not too bad. This has been posted many times, you might want to try the search button

Ive been using that but its questionable how it affects battery life and long-term effects on the screen life.
noLED is a decent alternative imo
When I used to noLED I would press the volume buttons and it would give me the volume sound and light up the screen but still on black. So I predicted it would kill my battery quicker.

NoLED is a PITA...it adds another layer of lockscreens/button-touches to get your notifications, thus I didn't care for it much. It also FC'd on me all the time...YMMV.
Someone will most likely get the button led flash to work one day, just be patient.
Flash notify in the market place will suffice for now and it actually works pretty good
surprised this hasn't already been implemented for the vibrant. if it's already done on the captivate isn't it just a matter of time for someone to port the code over?
Reason it hasn't been implemented got the vibrant its because your talking a whole new kernel build... Along with that the current implementations of it, from what I read prior, aren't too fond of battery life and they can't make it blink like a led would do. The buttons backlight just stays on. I don't know if that has changed any time recently but thats what it was like the previous time I looked it up.

hmm I never had a issue with it nor any extra battery drain. Is it the best coolest app nope. But it works for notifications
Samsung fixed this probably purposely overlooked notification problem with galaxy S phones with a whole new galaxy S, the Continuum

Yeah that things not looking so hot for me either. Lol
The best alternative IMO is Flash Notify. Been using it for a long time with no issues. Really wanted the soft keys to light up for notifications but I don't find that necessary anymore.

Alright guys here it is. LightXT its pretty self explanatory. This does require you to be rooted. This is V.1 so there might be bugs but I haven't found any so you should be fine. This has only been tested on US XT720 running Khalpowers miui themed V3 but technically it should work on all models of this phone with the auto focus led.
Disclaimer: I am not held responsible for any harm this app may cause your phone or your LED light.
If you like this App please dont forget to hit the thanks button.
*****THIS APP DOES NOT TURN YOUR XENON FLASH ON IT TURNS ON YOUR AUTO FOCUS LIGHT***** sorry for the confusion
First!!!
Works great but i found a bug.
If you turn on the light and then rotate the screen you have to click 2 times to turn it off again...
But still awesome thanks!!!!
thanks. is the light supposed to be red? that's all Im getting
Yes its our auto focus light. Our actual flash is xenon which requires a charge to flash that's why no other flashlight app works so we created this one specific to our phone.
its amazing, thx! =))
this is amazing! thank you... thank you... thank you...
Thanks alot man! My buddy has been dying for this app and it works great. Any plans for a widget??
Just thought of something.
Could this somehow be integrated into say Khal's rom and set for use on media key?
That would be sick, probably just wishful thinking though.
I hear a cry off in the distance....
Widget...Widget.....WIDGET!!!!

I'm trying to convince him into making us a widget it shouldn't be a problem. And there will be a version with the rotate bug fixed uploaded soon. Can't give an exact time but ill update the first post when its in my hands.
Just Great...this can help me...Thanks
until a build in widget is added, the next best thing as a work around is to use
Widgetsoid2.x to create a widget shortcut https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2&feature=search_result

yup thats the only one that turns on our flash is a xenox so we can not just turn it on and off. thats why when you download a led flashlight app from the market ie. droidlight it does nothing. the apps are looking in the wrong place for the led to turn on and thats why we made this app ts made only for our phone and all other variants of this phone.
i feel like i wrote that before.
I justed noticed yesterday that if you are in a call and get out of the Dialer app, the notifications bar starts glowing green until the call ends. It freaked me out at first, I thought I was getting major light leakage, but then I figured it was just an indicator that I still had a call in progress. Cool feature.
It also goes green (for a second) when you fling-scroll (scroll quickly) to the top of your contacts list, your apps list, and many other screens.
Yep, it does this to remind you that you are still on a call...There are other neat features as well...
My EVO 4G did this too..Maybe u didnt have the 4G since u seem surprised

I had an ogevo, but I was rooted with CM7...so I didn't have that feature.
Its a sense 3.0 thing, I also noticed this when I was running it on my evo 4g back in the day.
First of all, I wanted to say my CRT off animation is weird on my SII. It seems to flash white before starting. It was much smoother and sexier on my Captivate and even looks better on the DROID 3. It looks weird on mine. I've tried it on both UnNamed and Cog X2, both have that weird thing. Is it just KH7, or is it just something unfixable?
My CRT off animation looks like that too. it looks bad. it started when I flashed cog b4(had it on stock and it looked fine).

Yeah it does look bad. It looks fine on stock? I'll have to look into that. I guess it's something with custom ROMs. It's really sad...
when I say stock I don't mean pure stock. I had it after I flashed the 12 toggle mod and it included it and it looked fine then but after flashing cog I noticed it. If I can help in anyway let me know. Your work with the captivate was great btw

I'm talking to GTG right now. I mentioned this, hopefully I'll get to the bottom of it. Personally I'm not sure what exactly to do...
On another note, he fixed my animation issues (present in his UnNamed ROM and Cog X2) by disabling slowBlur. Ever noticed pressing Menu on the home screen and opening popups like in settings with brightness and volume, that the popups open with an animation that seems to be half missing? He fixed that for me. So I'm hoping he will find this too. The guy really knows his stuff.
Thanks for the compliment! I hope to soon start some projects for the SII!
Some news coming from GTG
However, the CRT animation on dg's rom and on my rom (with the addon) is as good as it's going to get. It just isn't rendered right on the Galaxy S II and no one has figured out why definitively. Whoever told you it works fine on stock just doesn't have a very discerning eye. Read that whole thread I linked you to. The international GSII owners already went through this long ago and accepted that the CRT animation will never be quite right on the SGS2 with Samsung based ROMs. CRT is fine on CM7 though apparently.

Here is the referenced thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177746
This is so weird. Up to this point, my CRT worked wonderfully. So well that it looked native. I saw this thread, so I looked at it again and now mine has the white screen issue (for the first time) .
EDIT - Upon reboot, my CRT returned to normal. One of the lucky ones I guess.
Thought it was my just my phone. It was fine until yesterday...well at least I first noticed it yesterday...all static-barcode looking. But I can say honestly at one point it was definitely smooth because I played with it continuously when I first enabled it because it looked so sweet on my screen.

Apparently it has a lot to do with the music player and screen shot app. But no matter what I still get a weird flash in the middle of it, ruining it. On KH7 anyway, with slowBlur off.
Rebooted, still funky.

It isn't a fix, nor does it actually work. It looks better, and that's it. Notice how when you press the power button, the screen turns white then shrinks towards the middle. That's not how the animation should work. It should take the screen, and shrink that towards the center, I assume with a white outline. The problem is the last screenshot taken I guess, or just the buffer/cache somewhere.

Well...er...can confirm that reboot worked for me too!!!
On UnNamed with slowBlur off, a reboot makes it look almost acceptable. Still wrong compared to my Captivate.
Restoring a backup of stock that came with my phone, gonna enable it there and see if that works. Just in case...
On stock firmware which came with the phone, I manually enabled CRT off. It works, but still not correctly. It does not shrink the screen, but a while screen. And has a weird flash in it. Guess that's a nope. It's USABLE but nowhere near perfect.
So I need someones help. I deleted the screen capture apk, and now pressing the key combo just makes the phone vibrate. So somewhere there is a link between that apk and the button combo. Can someone help me find that?
I would help but I have almost no android ( or Linux for that matter) experience. I would love to learn so I can finally start giving back to the community.
