I see it has been done for the international version I9000, but our buttons are different. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772672
I think it would be great if the home key backlight pulsed on notification.
Anyone know how to implement something like this?
A small led pulsing would go a long way toward saving my precious battery life, instead of periodically turning the screen on to check for new messages.
Yes. There is backlight notification mod for our phone. However, I tried several versions(10-32seconds) and could not get the backlight to turn off until I cleared the notification. I believe it only works with certain kernels and ROMs.
It can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826278
I have that installed, it just keeps the lights on longer for the softkey buttons.
What I would like to see is one of the softkeys like home pulse with the screen off when a new notification arrives, like the nexus one trackball notifications.
Anyone?
birdman's "barebones" kernel in this very forum supports backlight notifications
I have a handful of kernels on rom manager that support bln also
please stop posting questions in the dev forums!!!
Where would you suggest the question be posted. It's not a general question and it's not a theme/app...maybe BLN is now an accessory?

Easy there snappy dev guy, it was just a question. I appreciate your input and rom since im running it, but not the attitude.
attitude?
easy there noob with lack of search fu
development != questions
How about instead of posting questions that are already answered... you search. Much easier for everyone else to deal with.

What is this "attitude" crap? You're the one breaking the rules of the forum. Don't ***** when people point this out.

hop on rom manager and look under jt1334 in the downloads section..
Maybe if the search function here worked I would have found the answer to my question. I obviously dont post much so I seem to know how to be resourceful.
In this case I thought we could all benefit in getting some sort of proper notification system working on the Fascinate. The kernel mod seems to light up all the keys then go out 30 seconds later. I was wondering if it was possible to just get the "home" button to pulse like it did on my nexus one (obviously not in color).
Sorry I am not a dev, I have a life outside of android, windows mobile, and IOS, but I am definately not a noob.
Anyway its been nice chatting with all of you open minded developers working on this open platform. Mods please close this thread as it seems the developers just want to be rockstars in their own little threads, and scream "search!!!" and "noob" in all the others.
Thanks for all your help...
Don't bite the hand that feeds...
XDA is a Developers forum - not a tech support forum. There are dozens of other android forums on the Internet for that. The developers here share their work for free here and grow tired of answering the same questions over and over. The Development Forum is getting so overrun with non-development threads that it's hard to find ROM, Kernel, and App releases.
EDIT: In fact it's grown so bad that some developers aren't even releasing there work here anymore. That is why you received a "lecture".
I dont think I bit any hand, I said I appreciated the work jt did on the clean rom, and in fact I am using it right now. I think a lot of these guys on the forum are brilliant and I dont generally ask for help or any type of hand holding. Im a big boy with a job and I take chances, if I kill a phone so be it, thats why I have insurance and a warranty.
I just wanted to start a discussion and see if an idea of mine was feasable. I must have asked the wrong question, at the wrong time, in the wrong forum. -Sorry guys!
Man, and I thought the ios guys were douchebags, I guess douchebagginess is carrier dependent here since I never had a problem in the Nexus One forums. Go Verizon!

"Sorry guys" --- then you go about calling us douchbags? or did i read this wrong? There is a little X button towards the top right of the screen.... press it.
I didnt call you anything, but this is getting childish. Someone delete this thread please.
blah........
There seems to be some confusion here so allow me to answer the question and end the cat fight in one shot. There are in fact TWO different backlight mods for the Fascinate. The one you currently have is the Extended Softkey Backlights, which simply extends the amount of time your softkeys stay lit during normal operation. There is also a mod called Backlight Notifications, which does exactly what you are asking for. It is implemented in jt1134's kernels, amongst others.
As for posting location, the others are correct that this question should have been posted in general, not dev. There was just a major post from the mods specifically about this issue.

Thank you for taking the time to clear things up gardndj, will definately check out the backlight notification mod.
Now that this is in the right place, I should note that you don't want the standalone BLN mod, which is i9000-only. You need one of jt1134's kernels with BLN built in, which are only available on ROM manager.

My beautiful hd2 is no longer flawless. The vibrate function has ceased to work. I feel like ive lost a relative lol. You can hear the little motor trying to work inside but no vibration feedback. Suppose its time to scan ebay for a new 1 or maybe upgrade to the desire HD (if the missus will allow)
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Time to open it and readjust that motor. It could be jammed and needs a slight repositioning
Think you might be right im sure theres a thread here on how to open it up. Time to search.

Dude, Don't put it on the Motor.
Just say I no longer like the HD2 and I want a DHD, No body's gonna kill you
i don't know how much the OP searched before posting this redundant thread...
FYI, common cause of the vibration motor failing (mentioned in many many threads) is that the flash LED cover can get pressed inside. this puts pressure on the motor, preventing it from spinning.
take a close look at the flash LED cover on the back of the device...see if it appears depressed into the body. if so, your problem might be simply resolved by opening up the device just enough so that you can re-seat the flash LED cover back into its designed position.
if the flash LED cover is sitting right, then the motor might truly be busted...in which case, go ahead and think about replacing it with a DHD.
FYI, i've used a friend's DHD briefly and i can honestly say that its stock ROM felt noticeably MORE SLUGGISH than some of the DHD-based custom ROMs for the HD2 that i have used. of course, the DHD's CUSTOM ROMs might be leaps and bounds better than the DHD's stock ROM and any DHD-based custom ROM for the HD2!
I'll trade you for mine with a cracked screen
@ASCllker if you had read my "redundant " thread you would of known ive already tried opening up. So thanks for your redundant post in my redundant thread. I love my hd2 i just cant have a phone with no haptic feedback.

ahan, i label it redundant because the opening post of the thread offers no new information, nor have you worded the subject and opening post as a request for help, more like a "breaking news" (pun intended). this is a forum, not twitter...so try to be verbose/detailed as opposed to terse and "bloggy" (for lack of a better word). of course, all that is my opinion.
still, my post was meant to guide your attention to the flash LED cover, because you didn't make it clear in your later posts exactly what aspects of the device's components you looked into when you DID open it up. nor did you mention that you were already aware of the possibility of a faulty flash LED cover. so i added new information. you might already know about it but future readers might benefit from the information (who am i kidding? as if new-comers EVER search!).
once again, focus on details please. if this thread was just some breaking news from your life and you've made your decision to move on to replace the HD2 and need no further help, why not have the thread closed? if you really intended to get help, then i suggest you change the subject and edit the first post to add more information. you might get better help than what has already been posted in this thread as well as in numerous other threads.
So Heres The Story: My brother had the htc hd2 and he rooted it and such and such and he gave it to this girl and she was having problems such as drop calls that's it and she gave it back cause he agreed to fix it but she got a new phone so he gave it to me and now I face a problem where the phone won't boot up only a black screen is it bricked? also he says that I need to install something he said its fine and he won't help me so that's Wjy I'm Here Please Help Me ASAP :crying:
You aren't paying us, we help when we feel like it.
Turn off the phone, hold the volume down rocker and boot the phone, what shows up?
P.S: You broke two rules of xda (if not more):
1- Your title is not descriptive at all.
2- You did not search before posting.
Next time, be more careful please
I agree with Marv here. The title is demanding and uninformative and not having read the rules is a ludicrous justification for breaking them. I don't see how him informing you that you've broken rules is in any way wrong and maybe he put it a bit bluntly but its ultimately all correct. Just adding on that swearing is also not allowed on XDA since its an unrestricted forum.
As for your actual issue, have you checked that the battery pins aren't bent and the battery is actually making contact with the pins when you put it in?

Thank you
Thank you for your response. Your post was for your single post not the entire thread.
Secondly, I have rooted a phone in the past (my S2) so I understand the process and what can happen if not done correctly. My apologies if I have submitted a question that had already been asked. I'm on my phone now and not using a forum app. I have attempted multiple times to search but my browser keeps refreshing sending me in circles. I am new to the S4 and just wanted to know if rooting the phone causes the phone to display the yellow triangle on boot up. Perhaps I should wait until morning when I can view the forum on a computer. Thank you.

The phone app does suck. Rooting your phone, if the correct method for your firmware version is used, should not display a yellow triangle on boot. However, it might display "custom" with a padlock symbol. There is just entirely way too much information about this to post here, but if you want to search for "sysscope" when you get to your PC or do a visual search for threads that ask about "custom" or "official" in the thread title, you should find a lot of information about it. Mostly, check the General and Q & A sections for this information. There is also a lot of information about it in the thread I linked you to.
I know it was a single post I linked you to because it explains the correct way to go about finding information. As the post suggests, you need to learn as much about what you are doing as possible before you do anything to your phone. It does not matter what your previous experience was because this is a different phone and asking the question you asked shows that you need to learn more about it. The correct way to learn this information is by following what I said in the post I linked to you. This information should not be obtained from asking questions...it should be obtained by reading the available information that has already been posted in the forum(s). Good luck.
You are correct about learning as much as you can. That is partially why I asked the question. I have never been the type of individual to do anything (purchase new things, take a trip etc) without learning as much as I can before I take the plunge. Thank you for sending me in the right direction.

As an aside, some individuals (like myself) aren't good with inputting the proper search terms when trying to find information. Instead they come across a lot of misinformation which can be just as bad as not doing the proper research.

Roms

literally on the page i found by googling "tmobile s7 edge xda", i found a guide for rooting, along with two rom threads. and that's without even searching.
Root removes samsungpay permanently and is a bad battery drain last o checked
and also causes the phone to overheat and consistently lag/stutter even after changing kernel peramseters. root is just not worth it on the s7 edge. we need aosp/cm on this thing.
Thx for all the input guys. Much appreciated

Wasn't asking for a root method just Roms. I've been away from root for about 1.5 years when I moved form my G3 to a Note 5 so it's been a while. Had to surrender my Note7 so I was looking around and didn't see much for the edge device and especially the snapdragon model. After some looking I'm seeing more posted in the S7 section but thanks for saying so.
I'm in the same boat, waiting to receive a S7 Edge. I can't believe the state of root with this phone, I mean the Note 7 has root and it doesn't really lag , stutter or effect battery. (it can blow up though!)
Anyone try the 2 roms? Do they help bring it back to normal?

actually, it says in your topic name and first post that you are looking for a root method and roms. both of which are found on the phone's XDA page without searching. also, you keep saying you were "looking around" and didn't find anything but literally all the information you need is in the guides section, which is where you should always start when you have extremely basic questions like this.

Tmo S7 Edge
Hi there. I have 4 Tmo S7 Edge running ECHO Universal G935 Rom. First download the QUALCOMM SNAPDRAGON FILES From MAX on HIGHONANDROID for US SM-G930 and G935. Big thanks to MAX and the DEVELOPERS out there who create these things. Create a folder on your computer for all the files you'll need. Download the flashfire APK file, then ECHO Universal Rom from Verizon S7 Edge Forum. Put on your phone SD card. Watch MAX video if you don't understand, flash the modify tar file, then run superSU, then install flashfire apk. I do this process under 2 minutes, I tried different Roms from Verizon, Sprint and ATT root and unroot many times. Once you get a hang of the process it will come like brushing your tooth and putting on your jacket at the same time. Good ? luck Buddy
