I kind of hate that this is my first post - A little pedestrian - I've been a longtime lurker and thanks to a lot of this forum, I made the jump yesterday to a rooted MyTouch 3G with Cyanogen's latest. I'm pleased.
Coming from a BlackBerry, I've been spoiled by the easy-switch between "profiles", specifically the ability to set the device to only ring for calls and not for SMS or other notifications.
I'm finding a one-touch solution difficult to come by - And I've already tried "Profiles", "Auto Ring", "Toggle Settings" and "Ring Toggle" - Each of them is either a multi-step process to get to "just ring for calls" or won't turn off SMS vibration, a common issue?
Anyway, great community here and I hope to be a small part. If anyone knows a simple, reliable way to set my phone to just ring (for nighttime important calls) and silent everything else (except alarms) - Please let me know!
Thanks!

Um have you tried going into settings, sound/display -> ringer volume? You can check a box and mute your notification sounds. Personally, I find this really easy already but if you must have that one-touch then.. I don't know

It isn't a deal-breaker or anything, but even with a shortcut to "Sound & display", it's a few extra swipes and pokes
I was hoping there was a shortcut directly to that screen or just a simple on-screen button that could turn everything but alarms and calls off.
Thanks

Yes sir! That's what we want - But how do we get that screen as a shortcut or widget on our home-screen?

i think that if it were developed it would need to also toggle the "vibrate on" selection within each notification setting for the various apps that utilize notifications. like gmail app, email app, exchange app, messaging apps, sms/mms etc. it is currently an android weakness compared to winblow and dingleberry but the other strengths of the os outweigh this and a few other features' immaturity. try the market...
well as of right now I can offer you one thing that requires 3 clicks lol
use a shortcut widget! But that is almost as long as doing it normally... lol
although there may be a way using better cut (trying to figure that out)
yeahhh I don't know what else you can do ;p
I give up looking for it. I tried using better cut / any cut and tried the "make your own shortcut"
Apparently there is an intent to adjust the volume but.. I don't know what to put in the "data" field. Searched around and not many people know how to use this feature either haha

...point about "vibrate on" is that you'd need a shortcut (as you say) for each app if, like me, you activate "vibrate on" as part of the notification profile for each of the app examples i listed above. in other words, simply silencing notifications volume from settings/ringer_volume/use_incoming_call_volume_for_notifications has no effect on the "vibrate on/off" selection profile for the individual apps.
It seems like the whole "SMS vibrations are different" deal is what really makes this a difficult implementation - Every application I've tried has difficulty specifically with silencing SMS vibrations that are turned on - Otherwise, it's totally possible - Very, very strange that this is still an issue...

I dont know if this is the right place to put this so move the thread willingly.
I was wondering if there is any way to get the Trackball Light notifications and the Trackball wake mod working in froyo. I know the source hasnt been released but maybe it is still possible... maybe
Patience my young grasshopper
Paul from Modaco says that he'll get right on it as soon as the source is released. He himself wants it quite badly (follow him on his Twitter if you want to know ASAP when it's released).

Then how do you enable them? We're you able to enable them? They don't work on my phone. Its back to the old white pulse every 5 seconds for everything.
hmm i have "Light" checked in google voice,ebuddy, and Gmail doesnt have an option in their app but i have "Pulse notification lights" enabled in the default menu.
Im guessing its up the app developer to select the color notification light.
Yep, really missing trackball wake.
As for the color notifications, they just seem to work here out of the box...
I dont think you need to open a new thread for this topic. Everyone waiting for it, cant you learn how to wait? Dont just ask for something, learn how to understand something. At least understand the situation, source is not release yet. So be patient!
DL screenmode from the app market and set it to screen lock off. Trackball wake up should work. Just found out about this yesterday lol

nice! just have to make sure you remember to turn the screen off when you're not using it...
I think trackball is much more useful. I got so used to it by now that its really annoying to use the unlock button at the top. Also its annoying that the Email light and the SMS light are both white....
Sitting by for further development i guess haha
Since HandcentSMS & ChompSMS no longer work - I've reverted back to 'SMS Popup' and the stock messaging app.
SMS Popup has 'LED colour' in the notification settings - so you can set to red, just like CM...

Umm ...
I bought LockBot Pro for Froyo for switching on with trackball, and it works great
(as long as you install or move it to internal memory)
The ChompSMS beta works great on Froyo too, and it makes the LED flash Green for me.

why? phone will sleep in 1 min anyway.. with or without screenlock..
never really understood who needs that locking feature.. doesnt the screen only respond to the fingers?
im using app called No lock. it removes that sliding locking AND enables trackballwake on froyo.. at least worked for me..

Handcent already releeased 3.0 that works with froyo. Been using it with no problems for a day now.
Most lock screen apps will allow trackball wake. Lock Bot works as well
There is an app on the market called no lock that let's you wake up your phone with trackball.
Hancent and ChompSMS both work now, and allow custom colors for your trackball alerts.
Google HAS enabeld the color trackball notif for the nexus one. See link below for use:
developer.android.com/intl/fr/reference/android/app/Notification. html
Now anny app can use those notifications, no need to be root. You can now just start having some fun!!!
I've noticed some of my trackballs notifications are different colors now but has anyone found a way to speed up the blinking?
Is there an app that will turn your screen on after X minutes to remind you of notifications? Since there isnt an LED for notifications, simply turning the screen on after X minutes would get my attention.
there's an app for that look for it... I think it's called noled ... look for it

lol, 2 weeks is a "long time"...
Anyway, I saw that app, thinking about something different though. I just need the lock screen to come on to remind me of notifications. I dont like the idea of NoLED, since it stays on constantly.
Sms Popup works wonderfully for sms and mms notifications. I highly suggest it. You can also set the time of the reminder, which is nice.
after one week is old news. JK
I read the idea to use the backlight of the home menu search and back to set reminders but I no idea how that is going. Try the Sms popup
SMS Popup was the very first app I installed since I used the heck out of it on the G1.

Since a lot of people suggest disabling the g-sensor to prevent the screen freezes I thought I'd try something.
I don't want to have my rotation disabled as it's very handy to have. So what I do is use an app called Tasker. It's not free, but there is a 7-day trial available.
Basically I have it set to disable screen rotation every time the screen is off..and so far I haven't had any screen freezes. It may be coincidence, it may not be. I'm not exactly sure if the app does disable the g-sensor or does something else, but so far so good.
For those that don't know about Tasker...it's probably the best app that will ever be made for Android. You can make your phone do almost anything.
For example, I use it to:
When I get home, Wifi turns on and 3G is turned off. When I leave home, Wifi turns off and 3G turns on....same for work.
I have it disable wifi, 3g and screen rotation at night when I'm in bed.
It enables GPS when I launch maps or navigation, and disables GPS when I close the app.
And those are very basic ones...
The Tasker wiki has many more advanced "profiles" you can use:
Code:
Lock An Application
Start the Day with a Particular Application
Battery Full Alert
Launch Music App When Headset Inserted
Launch Menu of Music Apps When Headset Inserted
Keep screen awake when using the keyboard
Speaking Clock for Android 1.5
Control Keyguard (scroll to unlock) when Power is Connected/Disconnected
Keep Multiple Backups of Tasker Config
Change Ringtone on Every New Call
Mute in Meetings
Hold Ringer Volume Down
Auto-Respond To SMSs At Night
Change Volume Levels during Different Times of the Day
Check Data/SMS/Minute Usage With Carrier While Sleeping
Temporarily max brightness of screen during Incoming Call
Auto (Silent) Sleep Mode with Exceptions
Intermediate
Power Plug In - Choose Car/Home/Night Mode
Generic Toggle Widget
Open the keyboard and start texting
Set volume then Launch menu of music apps
Alarmclock without Snooze
Alarms with Snooze and Vibrate
Geburtstagserinnerung (German)
Car Locator
Notification Reminder Pulse
Locate your phone using SMS and google maps
Lock your phone and locate it by SMS and sound
A full talking clock
Act like a docking station when plugged into USB
Auto answer calls when your bluetooth headset is connected
Extended phone profile changer with Notification and Widget
Turn your cell phone into a Voip phone
Advanced
Periodic Data Check (Juicedefender Replacement)
Creates profiles similar to S60 devices and changes them depending on variety of factors
U.S. Navy Ships Bells (Using Tasker's OR '/' feature) * Pattern Matching *
Changing background image depending on current weather (Using HTTPGet)
Or you can simply create your own...there is a learning curve, but once you get a feel for it, it's VERY powerful! It can control almost every part of your Android phone.
There's a decent thread with more examples on xda in this thread.
I realise this is a software post, but it's main aim was to point out a way of disabling rotation to help with screen freezes
Hey,
thanks for this thread, i have downloaded tasker now.
Can you post your code for disabling gsensor when screen is off?
//EDIT: Sorry, its very easy.. i think i can create it by myself

New Event profile > Display off is the Event. Action is disable rotation
I have done it like you and added a task which enables the rotation if screen is on, is this correct?
I have used the phone now and i got freezes again, but not so much.. i think.

Yep, you also have to create another to say disable screen rotation when the screen is off.
@the_scotsman
Thanks for the suggestion, I've seen a few people mention this app before but now I finally downloaded it. I'll play around a bit to figure out some combos, but one quick question..
Is this going to be something running in the background sucking up battery and memory or is it just like running scripts? What do you think? I'll run current widget once I get some tasks going to see happens, just wondering if you've found anything out yet.

It depends on what profiles you set up...if they involve wireless, it will enable wireless every so often to check access points etc....or if you are using a location profile, it will enable gps every so often to check your location. You can change how often everything polls in the settings.
I have mine as per the first post, so it does scan for wireless every so often, and I havent seen any change in battery usage.

Tried this, but didnt work
I tried many different versions of kernels but in all if I keep my phone on standby (screen off) for a long time, say 20 mins, my phone freezes, My hardware buttons still glow on press, but phone never wakes up, any Ideas??
Even you disable display rotation, the sensor is still active, just use Gscript and disable sensor, you won't get any more freeze.

I was just about to write exactly the same words!
Scotsman - can you tell if Tasker can run a custom written script, upon some event? Then we can use it to turn off the gsensor!
Finally seems to be workin!!I made 2 changes:
1) Upgraded my radio from 2.08 to 2.12 (I recommend this one)
2) Stopped GSensor with Gscript
Another issue,
After I restart the sensor via script, photos in album wont rotate anymore!!
I did a `ps -ef|grep akmd` and the process is running, any thoughts??
edit: it works after restart!!
did you use the free gscript? cause mine says needs su:true
Your solution is great thanks... i did something slightly different : using tasker, autorotation is enabled only for apps that I want too, like gallery. Rest of the time, its off and working great that way too.
Hello all
I seem to have a spot of bother, I had two notifications on my device.
I Long Pressed the notification until the screen changes, Giving you a option to Snooze or press the little "i" button.
When you press Snooze, how the hell do you get your notification back?
I use Rotation to force all into Landscape.
I done the Snooze on the apps notification, and i cannot get it to re-appear, I use the notification as a quick toggle to change from Force to Auto
I also done it on ShareKM
and i cannot get neither of them Back.
Even when i go to:
Settings / Sound & Notification / App Notifications
WHen i configure to allow Heads up etc, Still nothing.
Not even after a reboot.
Its obviously not a Snooze button, its more of a Here hide this notification FOREVER!!!
Anyway has anyone got a little more experience with how this works?
I dont want to have to re-flash for the sake of 2 notifications lol

Nope never found a fix. I eventually just re flashed the ROM because I disabled SMS notifications and didn't have a choice. Now I'm being very careful around that button.

unsnoozing notifications
I suppose this is too late, but perhaps it can help someone else. I found the option to remove the notification snooze (or filter) under privacy.
Go to settings, privacy, and then filter notifications. You'll need to delete the app in the list. I had to reboot for my changes to take effect.
