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?

Maybe later if people really like it and the project continues it could be

Work great, just one thing : could be great if the app auto unlock when the phone receive a call (coz the diamond have a nice "slide to answer") and re-lock after the call...

...but the main idea is to prevent users from pressing accidentally the answer/ignore button when an incoming call arrived!
Anyway various ideas comes in mind for new versions
Yes, I know, but it is also very usefull for *just* lock the phone : I play a game, I read my mail, or anything, then I just turn off the phone and *hop* it's locked.
I don't worry if a reminder occur, if the on/off button is push accidentaly, or anything else, because I know that the phone is lock until I do a 45% vertical slide
And cherry on the cake, when I ask myself "what time is it ?", I just have to push a button (otherwise, I need to back to home screen with TF3D)
So if you plan to add a user config system to your app, please put a little "manage incomming call ?" box
getting better and better. after a few days i got unsatisfied with all the oter lock apps. but this is killer.
ps. is there a way to auto unlock for incoming calls? in most of the roms there is the phone canvas slider. that would do the job in that case, too.

Have you install the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 ?
Try a soft reset and execute it again!
i reinstalled netcf and now it works great. thanks.
installed it, runs very nice but unfortunately it makes the reminder and the alarm unusuable when an alarm comes up, the lock screen appears like it should. when you unlock, the message of the alarm or reminder is gone and you have to tap on the top-line icon to get it back also the funktion to let the alarms sound even in vibrate or silence mode won't work no mor... the device only vibrates.....

The last part has nothing to do with the LmL. Maybe some other setting to try ?!?
This is simply fantastic.
I too would like to be able to answer the phone without unlocking it. I would be quite happy with just using the hardware keys on the Diamond which seem to be locked for an incoming call.
Personally, I dont need or want other options - its simplicity is perfect. Something small and light.
perhaps its possible to implement the ability to assign some exceptions for lockmelite, i.e. that it should not lock normal homescreen (when you turn on the device consciously you don't need to have it locked i guess) or even for an upcoming alarm... THEN it really would be a perfect app!
New Release
version 1.2 released!
Enjoy
Hey man, great job!!! I love it
Now we just need an autostart function, hehe
I've noticed that the notification light for new emails and the like doesn't blink as frequently as the g1. Is there anyway to to reduce the time gap between blinks?
+1. You have to be staring at it otherwise you miss the blink.
lol +2 I catch myself stopping in my tracks and waiting a good 6 seconds to see if there's going to be a blink.
If you use the new CM build + Trackball SMS, the notification light will continue flashing every second until you activate the phone
The worst is when I "think" I see a blink in the corner of my eye and then I have to debate whether I should expend the energy to wake up my phone and check for a new message. Most of the time I hallucinate and think I saw a blink when really I didn't.

Trackball SMS's link is in post 134 of the thread linked in Paul22000's post.

Alpha code released:
[Here]
Please read carefully, no warranties provided.
lilHermit
From what I gather from your post, is that this alpha build doesn't play nice with what is current built into the phone. Is this a color changing thing, or a frequency thing? Would it be more feasible to write a program that just changes the frequency of the blinking?
[App] TrackballFlashRate
Ok you can change the flash rate from 1-9seconds, no colour changes take place. As the Stock ROM Notification system does not issue any period/rate changes this should work without problems.
It will also load your setting on phone reboot.

Change List:
- 1.0beta1 (30/01/2010)
Initial ReleaseKnown Issues:
- 1second might not work, needs more testing

It should work for any notification where the trackball flashes until acknowledged.
lilHermit
Sweet. Please add to CyanogenMod.
Thanks a bunch lilHermit.
Thanks a lot for this mod!
However, it seems to be a little unreliable as sometimes it just stops working.
Also, if I reboot it will always stop to work and I will have to kill both SU and the mod itself and then restart the app for it to come back to life.
Any plans on further improving this mod or making it more reliable? Would really love to use this as the default for notifications.
Using Cyanogen Beta 4.
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.

Lost or removed features:
- Automatic brightness
- Green Led notification for unread SMS
Worsened features:
- GPS settings
- GPS popup warning each time GPS is enabled
New bugs:
- Low resolution contact pictures
Replaced functionalities:
- Dedicated SMS backup to SD card, superseded by Backup&Restore application, which is unable to restore old backup format.
I would like to collect and discuss all the features removed or lost in the 2.1 update, as well as the new bugs, annoyances, and the features that have somehow worsened.
Please post you list, I will update accordingly the opening post.
This should also be the place where to discuss these issues or post workarounds.
For me a big problem is GPS. The additional setting is gone, and now every time you activate GPS via the widget, you get the confirmation popup
But even worst, the confirmation popup appears even if an application enables GPS in background!
I read auto bright is still there, seems it is on the widget now
Lost Features :
No more Green Led notification when you receive a sms

You can use BLINK for your LED thing.

its one less thing to worry about .
I had a total freeze on stock browser last night couldnt close it down properley had to restart. got used to that though from nokia 5800/x6. thought id seen the last of it.
Luckily it has not happened since so ill give it the benefit of the doubt this time.
worsened: The exchange native support is removed from Android 2.1 and they still got Moxier in there
I am going to use my root to remove all default Google apps so I can install the cyanogenmod versions... see if i can't get exchange back in the mail app and remove bloat.

Hi all i just had an idea for all the people that want a led notification when they miss a call or get and email, fb notification , twit anything really.
You could have the two led back and menu buttons flash when the phone is in standby, letting you know there is a notification waiting that you have not seen since the last your phone was on.
Now i don't know how to do this but i put the idea out there for devs could be some thing useful for some people?
What you are looking for is bln (backlight notification) which needs to be baked into the kernal. There was a thread about it in the dev forum. Seems to have died though.

with the Omnia 2 we had the same problem. Somebody solved it this way!
Perhaps something like this is possible on S2, too?

+1.. Use NoLed , its an awesome app , but I always check my phone so I dont need any of these apps xD
Since noled keeps phone cpu in awake state, its non comparable to button light kernel hack (which causes almost no battery usage change at all, like on phones with dedicated notification leds)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yeh that's why i made the suggestion so that your screen is not on awake.
Having the menu button and back button to be personalized "like missed call for menu and back for sms " . This would be good i think
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Funny because I was thinking of the lack of notification today, but want something different. I would like the led to light up like a heart beat when connected to usb charger. I simply hate that I can't see if my device is charging in the car.. how does this sound?
