Froyo and no Trackball update?

I wonder why Google didn't give us this update that the hacking community has had for so long. Thoughts?

Because they didn't even give us this update... who knows, maybe it will be in the actual release, if this isn't it.
Edit:
It seems that there IS this feature built in, just depens on the app, etc... at least some are reporting colored track ball alerts for differing apps.

I can confirm the above edit. I get different colors but no way of changing to a preference.

Which colors for which alerts? Mine seems white for everything.

On my GF stock nexus phone i updated to froyo and for text it came up as magenta color.
I tried using handcent sms to change the color but i dont think it is configured yet to control that.

Damn, mine's still white.

I just did a little test with AK notepad and set a notification to glow green and sure enough, it works. I guess the individual apps have to give you the option to change the color.

handcent allowed me to change color of notification, and it did work

People are getting mixed results with the trackball. I can get AK Notepad to work, but nothing else does. On an AT&T N1

That's what it is. I use SMS Popup for my text notification and the app itself gives me the option to change the trackball color. Everything else is still white.

AK notepad works for me

I can see lilhermit creating a working patch for stock 2.2 seeing that Trackball Alert should work just fine now

Uhm, SMS Popup allows you to use any color for SMS. And I use the Bloo Facebook App that gives me a dark blue notification when I get comments, wall posts, etc.

My color trackball works with AK notepad!
Change the LED color settings, create a new note, set the remind and turn standby mode (press power button) and wait!

I wonder if the .34 kernel from cyanogen breaks the trackball . For those of u who its working what kernel version you have? .34 or .32 stock

I really miss trackball alert and the modifications made to the messaging app, I need my colored notifications back!

There's a reason there are no configurable colors for the trackball.
The update to the trackball is behind the scenes and it's meant for the developers. It's up to the application makers to choose the colors for their notifications.
On the plus side, this is android and that's why we have things like lilhermits trackball notifcation alert modifier. =)

Trackball colors IS in Android 2.2:

Well I was wrong about the color trackball notifications. Apparently there is an API for it now (I don't mind being wrong haha)

The STOCK Google apps don't let you configure the colors, but I'm sure someone will whip up an app to control all the colors within 1 or 2 days

Yeah I'm disappointed with froyo because I wanted color track ball for my gmail, talk, etc. How will third party developers be involved with the core stock Google apps? That was the whole point, Google! I'm sure its only 3 lines of code to add into settings to switch the color.
Otherwise you would just root in the first place which defeats the whole point of waiting all this time for official support in froyo.

Third party developers can and already do send the information to light up the trackball.

Windows Phone Android

Android Technical --
Android Technical just published "Windows Phone Android", a windows phone metro UI launcher for android. The lite version is now in the Android Market.
Lite version include:
Pin to front page tiles
remove from front page
uninstall apps
dark and lite themes
4 accent colors (Blue, Green, Red and Orange)
limited messages (on message area at the top of the screen)
status bar with mobile signal, wifi, bluetooth, battery status etc.
informational tiles, animated screens, status messages and other features will be included in the regular versions.
At the end of the day, if you really want a Windows Phone, you should go get one. You can get one here from Microsoft.
Side Note: You may choose not to install it as a launcher (choose default home as launcher) and the application will act in stand alone manner.

I love you android.

It look GREAT!! I hope that you won't leave your nice project!

Confirmed and working on the Tmobile HTC G2 2.2 stock. Now my phones screen looks like my wifes HD7. I cant wait to show her. LOL. I cant wait for the updates and pro version. Good work on this app.

There is a bug on the first tile issue. We'll look into it. We also noticed that we have issues with ldip (240x320) devices too. Thanks for the feedbacks so far.

Looking Gr8 thank you I have been try to achieve this look all month!! please keep us posted with updates looking forward to donate version!

on my vibrant 2.2 loading the full list of apps as well as pinning to start is just too slow. Is this only on mine?

Works amazingly. Nice and fast on 2.1 fascinate. Thank you so so much. Can't wait for pro version
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

I'm loving this launcher, and I've been looking forward to someone doing this. I've tried the light version and anticipating the pro versions, but I was just wondering (if you haven't already thought about it yet) are you going to make it able for the user to chose it's own tiles to represent an app. For example, I don't use android messenger, I use handcent. So when I pinned Handcent to the quick start it has the blue icon and it's called Handcent, and I would want it to be a live tile and just call messaging.
Just bringing this to your attention, looking forward to the pro version. Keep it up.

I think you are the second person with vibrant that is telling us that it is slow. We tested on devices that we have. Nexus One, T-Mo Comet, and LG Optimus T. I will see what I can do. Even on the Comet (528mhz) it is working so... something might be wrong with your phone but I would love to see it in person to see the actual speed differences.

Our thoughts are to keep the light simple and plain (thus lite and free). More of a demo version if you want to think of it that way. We will have the regular version with some user enabled features and pro with our own live tiles and hubs and such (eg, new contacts screens, new music player etc). Nothing is fully set in stone yet. Just wanted to see how people will like the idea. Considering it took 2 people to code this in about 30 hours each, it's not bad. But we do android rapid prototyping and deployment for a living though.

Is there supposed to be a battery indicator in the status bar? I don't have one. And signal doesn't really respond there. Also I have to swipe up or down to see anything other than the time. Which I think is kinda cool actually. Just wondering if that's normal. Thanks, and fantastic work.

That is normal. Just the way WP7 does that status bar. It is missing battery indicator. We will put it up with the next update. The status bar comes down for 8 sec on real WP7. Ours does the exact same thing (sans animation)

Really good. Works very good on my galaxy s! Waiting for the pro version! I'll offer you more than a coffe!

Pretty slick! Can't wait to see some new features. It'd be nice to use custom icons, say if we use another app for our dialer or messenger, or even for completely different apps! Custom colours would be nice, too.
Found a bug though, if you open the settings and exit it, and go back, there are some weird glitches, you'll see. (this is if you're not using it as a launcher)
EDIT: A page for widgets would be awesome if you could work that out, or at least a way to quickly change settings(wifi, gps, etc)
EDIT2: A way to move tiles around would be good.

Lock screen notifications

lock screen notifications? they come up in a red circle on the lock screen to show you missed calls/messages

I'm running cm9

No lock screen notis. Get hand cent from the market. It'll turn the screen on with a pop up of the new text.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

having moved from the walled in garden called the iphone, i expected that this functionally would be available by default on android (ICS).
can't believe it's not !

and dont forget you are running a version that is aleaked and not official, official releases might have it included it might not

Also, most Android phones have notification lights that flash different colours for different types of notification.
Samsung decided not to implement this... But there's a great app on Google Play, called NoLed, that can display notifications on the screen. Doesn't use much battery if you set it up right either - rarely even registers on the batt stats!

If you are from the iPhone then something else to warn you about is that any text messages > 3 messages long will be converted to MMS.
Handcent is a good alternative texting app that allows you to control whether or not this happens (there's no option in Android's default messaging app.)
Caught me out and cost me for the MMS messages too since they aren't included in my contract.

CM9 Roms are still in development
I'd recommend you go here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/ and make a new post asking for this to be included in a future release.
CyanogenMod is strong because it users suggestions are taken on-board if they get enough support from the rest of the community. make the post, put it here and I'll post in support.
and DONATE. even if its £1/$1.6 they will only get better if you give your support.

NoLed is a brilliant tool for screen notifications, with possibility to monitor not only standard things like SMS and mail, you can also monitor apps, like Wordfeud or anything else

[APP] [>=4.0] Recurrent Notifications for any App

This app allows to configure recurrent notifications for each app that is using the standard Android notifications subsystem.
For each app, you can configure the ringtone, vibration, led color, number of repeats and interval of each notification.
Notifications are automatically cancelled if the monitorized app removes the notification.
Also, for each monitorized app you can configure if you like to be notified when a ongoing or clearable notification was created or if the created notification contains a specific text.
This app requires a special permission that needs to be activated after the install (go app settings in order to activate it).
Please, contact if you have troubles or questions.
Market Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryosoftware.notificationsmanager
Compatibility:
Android 4.3 and higher for the standard notifications controller
Android 4.0 to 4.2 for the legacy notifications controller (based on accessibility permissions)

Thank you, been looking for something like this that actually works for a long time, just downloaded it, and all is working flawlessly at the moment, using the custom notification on my Yahoo email app, I can use what sound I desire now.
Thanks very much, will be upgrading to the paid version very soon.
Just a quick question though, is there anyway to disable the app notification icon in the status bar.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your comments. Appreciate it!
You can disable the statusbar icon clicking settings and checking the "Statusbar icon" preference
Thanks again

Your welcome, I have tried what you suggested to turn off the notification icon, but for some reason it is still visible, not a problem though, it soon disappears after I have read my notification.

App is nice. Has a lot of potential.
Before bying the pro version:
I have set GMail as the app to work with recurrent notification.
When I set the "Recurrent notification" to silent sound I still hear the sound of the "original notification" as normal. Any workaround ?

Never gave it a chance due to app permissions
I'm worried about the permissions this app wants to be allowed. All text apart from passwords? Still enables it to collect credit card details etc.
Nah ah.

Sorry but I won't be buying this until i can test with more then 1 app (2 would be enough to test good). Also would be nice to be able to change the blinking speed of the led its too fast for my taste.

Sorry, this app uses the standard led API, that refers to the standard phone led. I think standard phone led is the front led. Sorry
This app has no effects in battery life. Service is sleeping all the time except when a notification is started.

You need to set silent also for notification in gmail.
This app develops notification and recurrent notification for any app, but you need to silent the stock notification in order to don't have double notifications.

Explain for permissions
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: In order to receive boot completed at startup and initiate the service
VIBRATE: To allow vibrate
INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Required by Google Ads
BILLING: To manage PRO version
READ_PHONE_STATE: Get events when phone call started and ended and silent notifications when in phone call
BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE: (Jelly Bean and Kitkat) To receive notifications and interactuate
BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE: (Ice Cream Sandwich) To receive notifications and interactuate
You refer to a standard Android message that is showed when you enable accessibility permissions to any, but this app is not collecting none, and the Inet access is only used
by the Ads library (by Google). We are not collecting or sharing with none.

Hi,
Have you entered "Notifications Manager" app settings and activated accessibility access or notifications access?
Is needed to activate the app.
Also, you need to disable notifications in Viber and enable notifications for Viber in the Notifications Manager app.
(I assume Viber is generating a statusbar notification when a call)

Good looks! Gonna be keeping up with the progress of this app.

I've tried to use it on galaxy s4 with 4.4.2 and it does work for notification but LED does not work. I've tried with different colors but only use default one.
Any advice?

I cant seem to get this to work with a Nexus 5

It's too bad you can only test it with one app. What if multiple apps cause a conflict somewhere, how would we be able to identify that without purchasing the app? The trial version should be the full product with a time limit of like a week or something. Don't be stingy. =/

[APP] Light Manager - Notification LED Settings (Compatibility)

I am the developer of Light Manager. It is an app to configure notification LED color and its flashing frequency for different notification types.
For more info, you may go to the link below:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager
Since Samsung Galaxy S8 onwards, I did not test this app with a real Samsung device. Most of the time I fixed the device-dependent issues according to the feedback from Samsung users. I know this is not a good way and it is not easy to fix a device-dependent issues without a real Samsung device. So I decided to get a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 to clear up some issues that piled up since then.
I have roughly tested the basic functionalities of Light Manager app on Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and most of them are working fine.
I will keep testing and fixing the old Samsung issues. If you have found any new issues, you may report here as well.
Thank you.

You can somehow generate a black color LED while low battery.
Just go into Light Manager > Low Battery and select "Custom color", then set the hex color code to 000000.

oh then ok it works. thx

I have been using the pro version for a long time
on my Samsungs, lgs, note 8 and now with my note 9.
the app works very good.
once in a while I have to restart the app from within the app to make everything work again. that's because sometimes it stops showing the right led color or it works during "sleeping time".
Any way, I find it the best app for me.
I AM JUST WONDERING what is the difference between the app I have (light manager pro v 12.3.5) and the one You show on the top?

Are you using normal mode or alternating mode?
Light Manager Pro has no advertisement. While the one shown on the top is a free version with advertisement.

I am using normal mode.
it's good enough for me.

What is the difference in the different modes? When I changed modes, trying to get alternating notifications, I lost the ability to get notifications on my Gear 2Pro. I went back to "normal" mode & it works fine but I don't see that I have alternating notifications. Now that my watch provides notifications, I don't use the LED the way I used to, if @ all really. But it's nice to be able to glance at it & know what app is alerting me.
Good app.
Will likely buy the Pro version! But do wish there was more explanation about the various modes & options

2) Alternating Mode - A few LED colors will be flashing alternately when multiple notifications are received
3) Screen Mode - Notifications alert will be shown on screen (For those devices without a physical notification LED, only available for Android 4.3 and above)
You are using Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and alternating mode is not working for you?

The alternating mode seems to be working for me FYI.

I honestly don't know if I was using alternating or screen. I'll pay closer attn & get back to you with that.
Thanks for reply!

@mckoo, shouldn't the app start automatically after boot up? I always have to start it w/ my Note 9 (and also with my Note 4). How do I have it startup automatically? Thanks for a great app.

There's a start on boot selector in the settings. Works for me on my N9

Yes, it should start up automatically if you have enabled Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Start On Boot.
Are you using any task killer, battery saving app, cache clearing app or antivirus?

Yes, I've always had it 'Start on Boot' since w/ my N4. I'm not aware of it running any task killer/battery saving app, as it's still running stock.
Update: I tried restarting just now, the LM icon now shows up in notification window after some time. Might just have been some delay earlier. Thanks.
