Anyone tried to install the tungsten led service apk from the factory images? I tried I got this error: INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE
Anyone have an ide how to install this apk? I guess it a system apk so I might have to install it in /system/app. I will try some more tonight. It would be nice to have booth the visualizer service and the volume (TungstenLEDService) displayed on the led ring. If anyone tries to install TungstenLEDSerive.apk and/or Visualizer.apk please post your results
will try with
Code:
adb push TungstenLEDService.apk /system/app
tonight when Im back from work. I post my findings here.
from http://bliny.net/blog/post/Nexus-Q-LED-Applications.aspx
Code:
Priority Application Description
0 / 100 TungstenLEDService Master volume. Uses 100 to override everything when volume is changing and switches to 0 otherwise.
5 Visualizer Displays theme-based animations.
10 NetworkLedController Network status indication.
20 HubBroker Bluetooth Pairing portion of the @home broker.
25 HubBroker NFC handler.
I did this to install the apk.
enable root over adb on developer settings
adb push TungstenLEDService.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /system
cp /sdcard/TungstenLEDService.apk /system/app/
set permission with filemanager
got error:
Package com.google.tungsten.ledservice has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!
any ideas what to do? Do I need to resign tha apk with cm11 shared user android.uid.system? Where do I get that key?
Agreed this feature should be restored.. Wish I could help..but I also tried this and couldn't get packages to install or work
Sent from my Nexus 5
I'd love to take a poke at this, but I unfortunately don't have a copy of the apk kicking around. Any ideas on locating it or did I miss my chance when I wiped it?

You can dump it from the Nexus Q System image at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Bounty
I think this is going to require the help of very smart people to get this working in 4.4 I want this back too as I bought a Q on ebay. It may have to be built from the ground up, with someone discovering the hooks in the old system image. I would think a toggle app would work best, where it could be turned on or off so it could work with any music player or video app.
I'm willing to pitch $15 to someone who figures this out.
What did the LEDs do?
Out of curiosity, what sort of functionality are you asking for from the LEDs?
Some folks, myself included, have never used the stock ROM, so are unfamiliar with what the LEDs used to do out of the box. Was it more like a normal Android LED (used principally for silent notifications), or did they do something else like dance in time to the music?

Yes, the lights moved and alternate with the beat of the music like a visual equalizer. You can probably find videos of it in action on YouTube
Aha! Cool! Any idea what the LEDs do now by default? I notice using Moose0704's unofficial CM11 it is generally neon blue, but sometimes pale yellow (only when daydreaming). Perhaps related to CPU usage?

LED do nothing now with the roms that let us use it as a regular android device. I want it to detect audio is coming out of the device and move the LED lights accordingly, when either music or a video is playing. Blue is the standby color when the device is waiting for something to happen. Yellow (or maybe it was orange) was (on the original stock rom) for not being able to connect to wifi.

This is very interesting. Hopefully this can be ported. I can only hope that lollipop on our nexus Q + this apk + music playing from google music casting to the Q = leds working?

For anyone who missed it, Google open sourced the official lights and sensor libs. Attached is the update.zip with official colorful LED lib. It's just about functionally identical to mine, but they have some better color mapping, and the white is finally white! Just flash from recovery and enjoy.
Special thanks go out to lilHermit, his app gave me a lot of insight into the LEDs, and metalhead8816 for helping me through some tough code, and Google for releasing the official code.
Root is required...
This is how it works:
- Screen on: incoming whatever - one white flash
- Screen off: notification - one white flash, then colored flash
- SMS, Gmail - green
- Missed call, twidroid - cyan
- Incoming call - rapid white flashing
- Incoming call while on bluetooth - rapid blue flashing

This file offers no customization because it's only an interface. What this file does is allow apps and the system to set the color and blink rate of the trackball and the trackball obeys.
Also, I cannot guarantee support for Desire roms. I know nothing about how the Desire is supposed to handle notifications. If HTC didn't try to do something fancy (read: stupid) with the notification code, then this will work as advertised. I have no plans to use or test this on a Desire ROM myself.
Attached is a real update.zip that I made myself. No waiting this time. Flash from recovery and let me know what you think.

I pieced together a new led driver that shows colors on the trackball. Everything seems to work as advertised and it should work on any ROM.
It's being pulled into CM, so if you run that, you could probably wait for the next release if you want.
Other than that you can grab the .so here and push it to /system/lib/hw. It requires a reboot to take effect.
Note: This is not an update.zip. I'm too tired to put one of those together. just extract lights.mahimahi.so and push it with adb. or someone else can make an update.zip

thanks for the hard-work it'll be great to have the trackball work the way it should have from start. I put together an update.zip but its my first time putting one together just kinda edited and re-signed another zip file i had, i flashed it myself it didn't have any errors and seems to be working but standard disclaimers apply make a backup flash at your risk im not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
updated the file its the new one 2/22
edit i forgot that there was issues with the screen being on and color changing properly the zip works fine
edit removed zip to prevent confusion

no problem glad to be of some help. i cant code and i'm poor so gotta give back to the community somehow
Awesome!!! Thank you!!!!
How do we change the values for different situations, (calls, sms, email etc...)???
this is awesome!!! Thanks so much
How do you mess with the different colors or can you not do that?
are there any options or something to mess around with? I don't notice much of a difference. Rather than 2 white pulses, I get a pinkish flashing. anyway to adjust?
Tested. Works fine.
I might sound dumb but how can I tweak the colors? Right now it blinks pinkish on startup but i hate pink
My guess is that the color is specified in the program itself, the same way that a LED notification light would get it's color.
But hey, at the moment the pink flashing matches nicely with the Carebear recovery released earlier today...

Colors shown are up to the apps that send the notifications. So far I know that email and sms are green, and twidroid is light blue.
I just put together a fix for the pink, stand-by for that

USB connection is a lavender color as is Handcent.
I guess no workaround for unrooted n1s?
I pieced together a way to get notifications to be shown in succession. This is an initial version and it seems pretty stable as I have used it throughout the day.
The way it works is by cycling through the current notifications that in the system and flashing the trackball according to how each notification specifies their behavior.
If you see some odd behavior with Handcent it is expected as the default flashing rate has a light off period of 0, so you can change it to custom with a light off rate of 2000 to match that of GMail notifications. (as I have)
Special thanks to ChainsDD for some help today with general Android knowledge and I hope you all enjoy this. Please leave some comments and I will do my best to fix bugs and make improvements (Computer Science student at UCSD)

This enhancement should work on CM-5.0.5 as I have built the jar against his source. I don't guarantee it will work for the others.
Also, I cannot guarantee support for Desire roms. I know nothing about how the Desire is supposed to handle notifications. If HTC didn't try to do something fancy (read: stupid) with the notification code, then this will work as advertised. I have no plans to use or test this on a Desire ROM myself.
Like any other development project on this forum I will not be held responsible if this breaks your phone in any way. It only updates the services.jar from /system/framework so you should at worst only see boot loops.
If you are having issues:
- Please drop me a log in pastebin.
Changelog:
v0.5:
- Updated to use the new breathing light code. (Sorry for the long wait)
v0.4:
- Fixed to use the eclair branch code instead of donut
- Options for flashing while screen on, at all work now (eclair options)
- Fixed the sleeping issue. Should now work with the screen off.
v0.3:
- Hopefully a fix for the issue of the notifications not staying awake.
- More debugging output so people can get me some logs.
v0.2:
- Fix for multiple notifications of the same color.
v0.1:
- Initial version with succession
Donation:
Please donate if you like my work. It helps keep me motivated and working hard on Android.
Downloads:
- Attached at the bottom.
- servicesv05.zip provided by me.
- others provided by RixKliq (post #225 but attached here)
How to install:
1) Nandroid
2) Rename download from servicesv05.zip to services.jar
3) Connect phone to computer.
4) adb remount
5) adb push services.jar /system/framework
6) adb reboot

Do you think this will rock out with the Desire Rom... I am about to push it over but I just need to understand the differences between this and chain.. I gather no color distribution in notifications.. I have seen that Chain Version did not prosper on this Rom.. I keep forgetting this is from something that comes out in two months.. Lol..
Thanks..
Appears to work pretty well... any chance of speeding up the flashing? So far is working well with 3 notifications. Waiting for twitter to update and see how 3 looks. though I think it will take too long to see more then two as it flashes slowly.
question
so i pushed it to the system and i see nothing and how can i change it from 0 to 2000 ?
nice work mate- you should speak to lilH3rmit. he has an alpha version of Trackballcolornotify2 that allows different colours to be shown for different apps (stock and non-stock)... his has an altered framework.jar....
if you 2 got together the end result would an all in one app

it's in alpha testing phase at the moment. Watch this space i reckon for something that could be awesome. He wants to make it so it will support EVERY single app so you can choose ANY colour you want for the trackball.
Ok thanx, that would definitely be great in combination with successive notifications !
Loving my N1 more and more thanx to you guys, keep up the good work =)

Good work!
I fixed the keyboard issue but because I don't know how to do a fix file all I can do is re upload the entire rom if anyone wants it
Sent from my HTC Espresso using XDA App
fn keys need remap?
Does that mean the func keys don't work?
So there is no way to make #s or symbols with the kybd.
I am using adw so most of the sense stuff does nothing for me but waste cpu cycles, a vanilla or cyanogen would be perfect for my situation, but my big fingers don't lend themselves to using an on screen keyboard but thanks this just may work for me till there is a new release
Bhang
He's just missing a few files for the keyboard mapping. The FN keys still work but they are mapped to another keyboard setup

this rom is awesome but is there anyway to remap the genius key? i tried the guide but it has mapping for keys we dont have and so i dont know wich one to change.
Thank you for posting this! I have been waiting for 2 weeks since I got my slide to be back on 5.0.8 coming from a G1. I have a few questions.
1. There are still a few keys that aren't mapped and I'm sure you are aware of this, home, back, menu, and search from the keyboard, and of course the genius buttin (I'm about to work on these and will report when I'm done mapping)
2. Two things I really liked and found useful with stock Slide and I assume are part of HTC Sense apps are a) the ability to search the company directory from contacts and b) exchange calendar support.
Am I correct in assuming we cannot push these apps through adb because we would need the HTC framework? Thanks
EDIT: I pushed the Calendar and Contacts apps from stock over this and as I predicted, FC City! Thank goodness for Nandroid...

Thanks for fixing all these issues!
Other issues I've noticed:
* Wi-Fi suddenly became a little flaky and unreliable. I disabled it and enabled it and it was back to normal. Might have just been a fluke.
* Camera button turns the camera on but doesn't take pictures and doesn't lock in the focus.
* When the screen is locked and off, pressing the trackball doesn't light up the screen like it does on the original Slide ROM.
Ok guys this is a idea i had awhile back.... im not really a aosp guy most of you know that but, i figured if we were going to get a stable build that is sized right and a good chance of getting data to work fairly easy it would be a port from Samsung google Nexus.... now ive only put a couple hours into it so its not that great at the moment but ill get it as stable as possible with time... this thread is meant for testing, feedback, and for anyone who wants to add to the build fixes and so forth.. everyone is adults here and i know we can work together well...
that being said this is a port from a rom romanbb built for nexus called "AOKP" i have alot of respect for him as a developer and that is the main reason i chose his rom to port... so big thanks to him!!!
now to buisness like i said before not alot of time put into this yet all i did was booted it and play around awhile... rom is stable meaning "no reboots" needs alot of tlc
what works:
it boots
all hardware buttons
touchscreen
Note:as of now you have to use the built in touchscreen mouse to navigate thru the rom... i tried to turn it off but i am new to ics and aosp and i couldnt find a option to do so... if anyone knows pleasedo tell... just tap the mouse circle drag it to what you want to use say app drawer then tap it and the app drawer will open... i should have a solution for this once i have more time tomorrow after work...
what dont work:
data (not for long)
camera (easy fix)
audio
sd card
wifi
phone (forces closed because it tries to turn on radio annoying but can be dealt with while you play with the rom)
probabaly alot more but limited on time to test today

you must also flash a gingerbread boot.img or PH98IMG.zip in hboot to be able to boot back up.
So, you would:
wipe /system in recovery
restore nand
boot to bootloader and either
A) fastboot flash boot *namehere*.img orB) flash a gingerbread PH98IMG.zipreboot
???
profit
Definitely can't wait to see this come together.

Lol DroidVicious and I are working on getting it stable as well as MIUI
You guys are on the ****ing ball! My head is spinning!
this would be spectacular if stable with hardware working! Definately watching closely!
so im playing with this new leak and just seen its sense 3.6 pretty cool
Hey Guys!
I've been trying to find a way to keep the softkey light on S2 on MIUI turned off (COMPLETELY, not auto brightness values for button to 0) but there really isn't a way...
I've noticed in CM7 there is a Galaxy SII settings app that can be found independently in Titanium Backup. That app has the option to turn off the softkey backlight completely.
Do you think it's possible to drag that app from CM7 and Install it on MIUI to turn off the keylight? Considering from what I've read MIUI is based partly on CM right?
Go to display setting. Turn on auto brightness and beneath it will be advanced settings or something. Then there should be automatic backlight tab or Light Levels. Click on Edit Other levels.. Underneath button, make the value(should be 225 or 250) go to 0. You're good to go. You can turn off auto brightness then.
Pretty sure the OP said "COMPLETELY, not auto brightness values for button to 0"...Wait...He did
OP - there are various scripts around the place which claim to achieve this. I also use Miui & setting the auto brightness to zero used to work. This stopped working early in the the new year so something has obviously changed in Miui's builds.
I can't vouch for the usefulness of these scripts as I've learned to live with this issue, and I don't have a link for same. Try a Google search & append XDA to your search terms. This should yield something for you.
Edit to add - With regard to pulling over an app from CM7, obviously Miui is CM based so it might work. I guess you can only try it & find out. Can't see how it could do any harm given it's only an app.
@Mistah Thanks loads dude, I've tried some of the scripts from some of the searches I did and nothing seems to work you're right.
I'll give it a shot and see how it goes, but I don't think if i get the APK out i can just install it normally right? I'd have to put it in system>app then do a reboot for it to go in nicely?
I'll test it and report it back here tmrw thanks!
No worries
Yeah I'm not surprised the scripts don't work. Yeah give it a try, put it in /system/app & also might wanna mount /system rw before you install it (if you need to, use an app like Remount to do this). Yeah do a reboot after you've installed it & cross your fingers.
Will be awaiting your report with baited breath

Pm-ed! Thanks!
Replied. Doesn't work & I doubt it will.
I wrote a script which works for me on all kernels with init.d support, here's a link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27703769/Permanently Disable Softkey Backlight.zip
If the flashable zip doesnt work just copy the script and set correct permissions (755). Please report back, because I haven't used the script for a while now...
BLN doesn't work on the script, though. I have located the file which contains the value for the backlight and changed its permissions, this disables the phone to change this value and thus keeping it off. This file is on a different location on almost every phone, so most scripts work on only one particular device.

Hey Joop!
Tested the zip and it flashed but it just seems to force the softkey light on. Doesn't go off at all after that. Thanks for the help though!
