BeamWidgets - Flashlight Widgets for Desire *26. July, 2010*

I started to code a small widget collection to make good use of the nice HTC Desire flash led as flashlight and more...
At the moment only one App Widget is ready for testing, more widgets and configuration options are in the works.
(also works on standard ROMs, no root required)
If someone wants to give it a try:
While in configuration the led is on so you can check how bright your choosen level is.

- Added configuration activity to control torch brightness
- Added a HTC widget style version
*Known issues*
- HTC kernel needed with Froyo-ROMs (e.g. LeeDroid)

I'm liking it so far, the simple on off from the widget is preferable to a program. Thanks f3d0r

Brilliant. Simple. To the point.
Is it possible to do another widget (different program) that does the LED light at FULL power ?
Thanks.

I like the idea. I don't like the icon. And could be brighter?
Screens...

I tweaked the icon a little bit by adding some padding, more sophisticated icons may be following

Does this app require a rooted desire or will it work on any old desire?
UPDATE: Tested it out on my unrooted desire and works fine . Awesome app been looking for one for since i got the desire, i tend to lose things hehe....

A small comment on the request for more brightness:
In full-power/flash mode the led would overheat quickly without extensive cooling (which the desire lacks for sure). The rsult would be a dead led in very short time.
However, a "Boost" widget which switches the led to full power mode for a few seconds will be added next.

I'm keeping this version, I like the slightly larger icon and I dont need a boost
thanks again
and again x

I love the widget as it is, thanks!

Very nice, love it - will it be released on the market?

added to the desire app ref thread here

nice, thanks!
But is it really necessary to read the telephone status and change sd content?
(yes, i'm a little bit paranoid ...)

In fact the Widget does not request any permissions in it's manifest but this seems to be an issue of android backward compatibility:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4101
However, as we don't need this I have fixed the issue by specifying a Min SDK requirement in already updated APK.
regards

+1 for anything that makes it brighter and also Strobe effect ... etc etc.
Thanks

Excellent work

The Widget works well. Maybe make a way to lock screen when you turn it on so you don't accidentally hit other stuff when you're using the light. When I use a light I am usually not paying attention to what I am hitting on the screen. lol.
How did you get screenshots of your phone with Android? I haven't seen any apps that let you do it without root access.

Oh! Nice to know!
Hope to testing soon

Do play SC2, looks like a cool app. I guess match history and pro-game updates (GSL scores etc.) would be additions i'd be interested in.

Sounds awesome, I cant want to try it out. The ability for alerts seem like something that should also be in the pro version. What kind of price are you think about?

Match history would be an eventually feature, and pro-game updates is a really good idea. I'd just have to find a good SC2 esport site with a decent/parseable news feed.

Yah alerts was another features I was thinking about keeping for pro for sure, and for price, something minimal like $.99 or $1.50 USD
Still hoping to get an early alpha release out to you guys really soon

After letting this project collect dust for a few months, I decided to get back on it.
The OP now contains a direct-download link for an alpha APK.. so if you like SC2 or just want to help me test things out, give the OP a read and post any suggestions/bugs/etc here.

Now available on the Android Market for alpha testing.

[Q] MIUI like dialer / lock screens

Hello my name is Suarezn and I'm a Flashoholic...S U A R E Z N...
All,
In an ideal world I could have my cake and eat it too. That means I would have a combination of Sense widgets (clock, weather, text to speech that works, 4G, etc) some AOSP features and some of the MIUI stuff (Theme manager, lock screens, visitor mode, etc). I was in MIUI, but it was so darn laggy on my phone that I ended up going back to a Froyo ROM (Koni's Elite) can't wait until these guys start making GB based roms.
Anyhow, since these guys don't all work together I want to know if I can replicate some of these features in my current ROM. Specifically I really like the MIUI dialer and Yes I've tried several other ones (Dialer one, Youlu, Go, etc) and they're all decent, but what I'm looking for is one that has the functionality the MIUI one has when you're in a call (it shows several buttons...Bluetooth, add a call, merge calls, etc) All the other ones default to the sense style while in-call which lacks those features.
Secondly any way to have a MIUI style lock screen with it's own wallpaper and the features to show unread messages, missed calls, double tap and you have the music controls available, etc...
...and does anyone else besides MIUI have the Visitor mode feature? This is cool I think cause you can lend your phone to someone and they can't change anything or see your calls and messages.
I know people say that they're different frameworks, but I think it is possible to port these features (i.e. the MIUI music player is now ported to all these other ROMs).
Will I ever be able to have everything I want in a ROM...I keep my fingers crossed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No miui features will ever be able to be used on any other rom until the source is released (p.s. will never happen) yea the framework is completely different but would be able to port with source...same reason u will never see sense Widgets on anything other than sense...
The reason for the miui music is (I'm not 100% but I'm pretty sure...) because the app was not built into the framework but just an app from the system/apps folder which can be.easily pulled...and thanks to the wonderful devs here got it working everywhere...I too wish for a sense.miui cyanogenmod mix but unfortantly without source..its like creating honeycomb aosp right NW...sry man

The OP was looking for suggestions on apps and widgets that would emulate of give the same purpose. The above reply was of very little help. I really cant say about the the dialer but have you tried using widget locker? I believe someone made a MIUI lockscreen for it and I know for a fact at least you can have a separate wallpaper screen by using that.
example here of lockscreen wall paper

I don't think he was looking for alternatives...based off his last few sentences abt the music player the op wanted exact ports from one rom to the other and all I said was.it wasn't possible
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Things MIUI has that no other ROM has which is why I keep endng up back on it:
1. MIUI Launcher
2. By far the best dialer
3. By far the best native SMS (fully skin-able and tons of features)
4. Native usage monitor with throttling (disable data/text after x, solid history)
5. Native firewall app (that can block out/in by data type)
6. By far the coolest File Explorer (with built in wifi FTP, and indexed results)
7. Native backup/restore of apps and SMS
8. Native Theme system that includes launch screen
If those Chinese Devs would just man up and give us WiMAX this ROM would be without flaw. A man can dream ...

Yea I see your point on that one! I didn't read it all the way thru my fault it was like a total 180 from how it was at the beginning.

Sorry if I didn't explain myself correctly...im0rtalz is correct. I know you can't currently port any of this from MIUI to a sense based ROM for instance, so I was looking for alternatives (apps or whatever) that could replicate it. I played with widget locker and it does give me some of the same functionality (actually more than MIUI). It's not as polished, but I can live with that. Now I only need some way to replicate the dialer (in-call options). I wonder if the reason why this is not done is because Sense doesn't allow it...just curious because it just seems like something a lot of people would want. The ability to add a call, merge calls, bluetooth on/off, etc..I know you can press menu and sort of get to the same options, but it's so much nicer to just have them right there in front of you.
Justin: You're correct those are killer features that I'm surprised other ROMs don't incorporate. The theme manager rocks...plus the ROM just looks much cleaner and more polished than others IMO.
Anyhow any help would be appreciated.

Big Changes to HTC Weather App
Lots of new lock screens
Enable power efficiency is that new ?
New Connection Type Screen

Multimedia volume is much louder I have noticed. Just feels snappier overall.

You can resize the mails, go to settings and make the preview body lines or something like that none, also make text size smallest, now you can see 7 mails or so.

Mail sounds like a little scary for a user like me who use it a lot for daily work.

Just rebooted for the first time since the update
It plays a sound when its booting during the white screen with HTC quietly brilliant
Hopefully you can turn that off
First bug I've noticed is the second stage of the unlock screen when you draw a pattern to unlock the phone its not showing the background just a black screen, I'm sure it used to show the background image ? ?

Guys the Sense 3.0 has been out for a while. I think we all know the diffs. Nothing really new compared to the last 3 months.

zelendel there are lot users not as adventurous us, they stick to official updates without root and usually they stick around the general section

I was wondering if it is possible the home screen rotation as you can have with other launchers... I think this is the only thing missing

that's correct, i personally don't have time to play with ROMs and i need something stable and reliable as i use my phone for work generally.
and i know that there are a lot of others like me. i know u are all up to sense 4,0 and that this is old news for u i know this thread is funny for more "advanced" users but think it will be ok for us "inferior" users
@accesser - thanks for uploads and support
- we got officially screenshot feature (power button + home)
what do think of battery usage? i feel it lasts shorter, maybe cause i play with it more...

dhd - stock rom 2.3.5 sense 3.0
and my proximity sensor it's not working anymore. yey...
and a little improvement of battery usage

Really ? neat I had no idea I was using screen shot app I'll try now I knew Android 4 had built in screen shot but not this edition

When I install skins from market, it is not showed in personalize->skins. There are only 3 default skins for HTC Sense 3.0. I've tried download skins from HTC Hub and that works correctly with no problems.
And I found out that all of NON-HTC skins aren't showed in skins option. If I install skin from HTC Hub, everything is OK, but when I install any skin for example from Android Market it's not showing in skins menu.
Can anyone help me

You can't install 3rd party skins yet due to the m10 tools not being updated. I've been waiting a while...
There's also a swipe function built into the text app.
And I believe the pattern lock screen has always had a black background on stock roms.

Even sense 3.0 skins????!!!
Sent from my Desire HD

No. The recently released sense 3.0 roms for desire s and desire hd are a different resolution etc to the 3rd party made skins for sensation etc. Therefore they are not compatible and we have to wait for the m10 tools to be updated.

Not sure about the other stuff, but I can confirm that the pattern lock screen does not have a black background on my current (stock) rom. I haven't got the upgrade yet, so it still has the same background as the home screen.
