[MOD] Native trackball colors... Official!! [3-16] - Nexus One Android Development

For anyone who missed it, Google open sourced the official lights and sensor libs. Attached is the update.zip with official colorful LED lib. It's just about functionally identical to mine, but they have some better color mapping, and the white is finally white! Just flash from recovery and enjoy.
Special thanks go out to lilHermit, his app gave me a lot of insight into the LEDs, and metalhead8816 for helping me through some tough code, and Google for releasing the official code.
Root is required...
This is how it works:
- Screen on: incoming whatever - one white flash
- Screen off: notification - one white flash, then colored flash
- SMS, Gmail - green
- Missed call, twidroid - cyan
- Incoming call - rapid white flashing
- Incoming call while on bluetooth - rapid blue flashing

This file offers no customization because it's only an interface. What this file does is allow apps and the system to set the color and blink rate of the trackball and the trackball obeys.
Also, I cannot guarantee support for Desire roms. I know nothing about how the Desire is supposed to handle notifications. If HTC didn't try to do something fancy (read: stupid) with the notification code, then this will work as advertised. I have no plans to use or test this on a Desire ROM myself.
Attached is a real update.zip that I made myself. No waiting this time. Flash from recovery and let me know what you think.

It's being pulled into CM, so if you run that, you could probably wait for the next release if you want.
Other than that you can grab the .so here and push it to /system/lib/hw. It requires a reboot to take effect.
Note: This is not an update.zip. I'm too tired to put one of those together. just extract lights.mahimahi.so and push it with adb. or someone else can make an update.zip

interesting ... was this a binary edit ... or did you build this from scratch/source?
Nice work.

thanks for the hard-work it'll be great to have the trackball work the way it should have from start. I put together an update.zip but its my first time putting one together just kinda edited and re-signed another zip file i had, i flashed it myself it didn't have any errors and seems to be working but standard disclaimers apply make a backup flash at your risk im not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
updated the file its the new one 2/22
edit i forgot that there was issues with the screen being on and color changing properly the zip works fine
edit removed zip to prevent confusion

no problem glad to be of some help. i cant code and i'm poor so gotta give back to the community somehow

Awesome!!! Thank you!!!!
How do we change the values for different situations, (calls, sms, email etc...)???

this is awesome!!! Thanks so much

How do you mess with the different colors or can you not do that?

are there any options or something to mess around with? I don't notice much of a difference. Rather than 2 white pulses, I get a pinkish flashing. anyway to adjust?

Tested. Works fine.
I might sound dumb but how can I tweak the colors? Right now it blinks pinkish on startup but i hate pink

My guess is that the color is specified in the program itself, the same way that a LED notification light would get it's color.
But hey, at the moment the pink flashing matches nicely with the Carebear recovery released earlier today...

Colors shown are up to the apps that send the notifications. So far I know that email and sms are green, and twidroid is light blue.
I just put together a fix for the pink, stand-by for that

USB connection is a lavender color as is Handcent.

I guess no workaround for unrooted n1s?

[MOD] mix trackball colors notifications - updated for cm-5.0.6

Thanks to ChainsDD I got my notification led working, however, the Android framework only displays a notification for the first event.
Since I have a constant stream of emails I always have the green notification flashing, so for most cases I don't get an indication for any other event...
So, here's a trivial mod which blends the colors of all the active notifications and turns on the notification led with the blended color. Only works well if you use basic colors. For example I have email as Green and SMS as Red. When I have both events on, the notification color is yellow (green + red).
Attached is a diagram which shows the results of blending different colors
This mod only works for CyanogenMod-5.0.6 (as I have built this jar using his source). No guarantees - works for me.
Installation:
Download services.zip and rename to services.jar.
In recovery, do a nandroid backup and then push services.jar to /system/framework/
code is in github/eshabtai
Is there anyway to get this to work on the Desire rom? Great job BTW.
Is it possible to have colors blink in succession? Like say if you have a missed call(red), gmail(green) and sms(blue), it will blink red, green, then blue?

Great Mod! Did you use smspopup to set the colours?
I'm not familiar with development, but for my suggestion:
Is it possible to create a queue of some sort with trackball led notifications, and have the notification system look at that when it decides to flash the led?

[MOD] Trackball Notifications in Succession [v 0.5] (CM-5.0.5.3)

I pieced together a way to get notifications to be shown in succession. This is an initial version and it seems pretty stable as I have used it throughout the day.
The way it works is by cycling through the current notifications that in the system and flashing the trackball according to how each notification specifies their behavior.
If you see some odd behavior with Handcent it is expected as the default flashing rate has a light off period of 0, so you can change it to custom with a light off rate of 2000 to match that of GMail notifications. (as I have)
Special thanks to ChainsDD for some help today with general Android knowledge and I hope you all enjoy this. Please leave some comments and I will do my best to fix bugs and make improvements (Computer Science student at UCSD)
Root is required...
** Please read **
This enhancement should work on CM-5.0.5 as I have built the jar against his source. I don't guarantee it will work for the others.
Also, I cannot guarantee support for Desire roms. I know nothing about how the Desire is supposed to handle notifications. If HTC didn't try to do something fancy (read: stupid) with the notification code, then this will work as advertised. I have no plans to use or test this on a Desire ROM myself.
Like any other development project on this forum I will not be held responsible if this breaks your phone in any way. It only updates the services.jar from /system/framework so you should at worst only see boot loops.
If you are having issues:
- Please drop me a log in pastebin.
Changelog:
v0.5:
- Updated to use the new breathing light code. (Sorry for the long wait)
v0.4:
- Fixed to use the eclair branch code instead of donut
- Options for flashing while screen on, at all work now (eclair options)
- Fixed the sleeping issue. Should now work with the screen off.
v0.3:
- Hopefully a fix for the issue of the notifications not staying awake.
- More debugging output so people can get me some logs.
v0.2:
- Fix for multiple notifications of the same color.
v0.1:
- Initial version with succession
Donation:
Please donate if you like my work. It helps keep me motivated and working hard on Android.
Downloads:
- Attached at the bottom.
- servicesv05.zip provided by me.
- others provided by RixKliq (post #225 but attached here)
How to install:
1) Nandroid
2) Rename download from servicesv05.zip to services.jar
3) Connect phone to computer.
4) adb remount
5) adb push services.jar /system/framework
6) adb reboot

Do you think this will rock out with the Desire Rom... I am about to push it over but I just need to understand the differences between this and chain.. I gather no color distribution in notifications.. I have seen that Chain Version did not prosper on this Rom.. I keep forgetting this is from something that comes out in two months.. Lol..
Thanks..
Appears to work pretty well... any chance of speeding up the flashing? So far is working well with 3 notifications. Waiting for twitter to update and see how 3 looks. though I think it will take too long to see more then two as it flashes slowly.
question
so i pushed it to the system and i see nothing and how can i change it from 0 to 2000 ?
nice work mate- you should speak to lilH3rmit. he has an alpha version of Trackballcolornotify2 that allows different colours to be shown for different apps (stock and non-stock)... his has an altered framework.jar....
if you 2 got together the end result would an all in one app
cool work, but can you post a version with white text?
works 'thanks'

Can anyone post screens?

it's in alpha testing phase at the moment. Watch this space i reckon for something that could be awesome. He wants to make it so it will support EVERY single app so you can choose ANY colour you want for the trackball.
Ok thanx, that would definitely be great in combination with successive notifications !
Loving my N1 more and more thanx to you guys, keep up the good work =)

[THEME] Black Status Bar Theme For Droid2

Hi,
Here is my first theme. This is mostly to pimp out the status/notification bar on the droid 2. The zip file contains instructions. Mostly just a bunch of stuff ive/found stolen from other themes and some elements of my own. Let me know how you like it. The services.jar replacement can be dangerous so you should know what youre doing. The theme itself should be ok. You will need Metamorph and root of course.
Current version: 0.7 - Download Here

looks awesome!! thank you!!!!
im going to be moving support for this theme over to the VZW 2.4.5 (and eventually newer) roms. version 0.7 will be the last one for the default droid 2 rom. ill leave it around for those who want it. version 0.8 for vzw 2.4.5 coming soon.

The letters and clock mostly. the images are all in a dark grey that would be tough to see so it would be nice to have all the icons(3G, vibrate, silent, battery, signal bars, text message and email) done in a white/light grey as well. I understand that is a bit tougher to do. I could make the images if I could rip the current ones off my phone and just use photoshop to change the colors then repackage and install. but I dont know how to rip, repackage or install. so I just wanted to use his method with icons I would make, assuming this is possible.

It is possible however you would have to have a theme to work with first. You would then decompile the APK using a tool such as APK manager or you can open the apk directly using something like Winrar or similar. You can then navigate to the folder of "drawable-hdpi" which inside the "res" folder. This is where all the pngs are held.
well i was gonna release v0.8 for the green 2.5 vzn rom by angdroid, but i like the looks of that fission rom that they are working on.. maybe ill do 0.8 as planned and do 0.9 for fission once they are done with it.
fission seems nice and clean

That being said I will never realease something that could potentally damage your nook, and any xml or framework changes will be heavily tested on my own property before I ever provide a copy to the public.
OK it has been requested that a black theme with a touch of red be my next project i'm hoping by the end of the weekend I will have a new theme out there for you guys

Update i almost have my black and red theme complete just working out a couple bugs, im also hoping to incorporate a 1% battery mod to both themes... still getting a boot loop as of now... this is what is delaying me at this time
Change log:
v1.04 no services mod
added samuelhalff's Network/carrier removal mod to the package,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924916
v1.03
Initial release
Blue themed icons boxes and selectors
Added boot animation
Boot is the 2.1 nook animation for now, I apologize again for having no clue who made it but who ever you are you rock
Added a hand full of notification tones
Working on:
I'm trying to perfect the shut down animation
Startup and shut down sounds
Different notification bar, may go with clear for main bar
Investigating clock color change
And adding themed apps to match
I have been unable to get this to flash to Froyo when running from the micro SD, may just be my lack of knowledge on running from a micro SD but you guys are welcome to pull apart my zips and pull what you need, if you need instruction on how to apply my stuff without CWM let me know and I will post a walk through.
Ok here are some basic screen shots so you can get a feel for it
for now until I can figure out how how to change the font color for the clock on the notification bar to something other than black, I have set the bar to blue so the clock is visible
All popups that are controlled through the framework have a light blue glow, and highlighting is blue, battery gauge it a liquid battery that i got from the hero themes (I apologize for not remembering who i borrowed it from, its much appreciated tho)
the back ground is from Flikie wallpapers, but have found it in other places too
http://www.multiupload.com/WLBHB6PO25
this is the original framework with the black notification bar you will loose your clock with this
just copy paste this to your /system/framework and reboot
another page for me...
now im just being greedy
Just to be clear, you use CWR booted from an SDCard not, on the Internal eMMC Froyo, right? Mine CWR was wiped out after putting Froyo on eMMC. Thanks.

Yes I still have to use the card haven't yet figured out how to put it back. should be able to just drop this to the SD-card reboot into CWR and flash zip. Will know more when I get home and sign the zip... cant at work.
Other wise I will just post my framework-res.apk and the people who have ADB or root explorer can just paste to the /system/framework file.
I would rather get the zip running because I can add boot and shut down ani's and sound files, and other goodies
Thanks! Sounds promising!

Tweaker (Stock MMS 'Tweaked' Themes)

First let me say that I am not a dev nor can I properly edit .9.png files yet. These are just 'Tweaks' I made to the Stock Samsung MMS by switching png files. A few are quite nice while others,... well, I included them because someone just might like them. Right now these are installable manually which is faster than flashing. I do hope to have them in flashable form soon, however.
The installation instructions are step by step so any noobs can install with no problems. Use the paid version of Root Explorer. First delete or move you current Mms.apk to your external SD card (in case you want to reinstall it later). Then place the new Mms.apk in System/app, longpress on the file and choose 'Permissions', uncheck the boxes to match rw-r--r--. If the new app doesn't show up right away, reboot.
I have no probems sending Sms or Mms and get all my audio notifications although I know this is not the case with everyone. I don't have all the answers, so if you can help with any information on why certain people can't send Sms or Mms, please share it. And if you want to just say 'Thanks' to anyone, please use the 'Thanks' button
Thanks for their work go to Team Whiskey, MikeyMike01, KCB877, TonicAcid, and the devs of BlackFroyo!
I've attached thumbnails for you to see what you are getting! I've covered up my contact picture with various symbols (arrow, hat, etc), so these all include the contact picture. Look at the bottom when viewing the thumbmails to see what .apk version you are looking at. I'll place the .apk's in the first post.
Edit: I forgot to mention that these have the green Gingerbread icon. I will work on Black icons soon.
DOWNLOAD .APK'S BELOW IN NEXT POST
These are links to the same files with the 'Blue' icon instead of the 'Green'

Bear with me as I am still learning. I did it this way because it was easier for me!
Edit: The .apk's are in the same order as they appear in the thumbnails above.
Hmmm, one of these looks like mine! They look great though, nice job

It does, but it is not exactly the same. BTW, you never told me where you got that one. Care to tell?

went through various themes and roms and patched a bunch together. I didn't edit any pngs as I stated before, I used different bubbles, icons, notification icons etc and put them all into one. I also edited the contact pictures out using ninja morph to get rid of the gradient and blank contact pic so it's black, I don't use contact pictures at all.
Also, if you want a dark icon look at the one I used for Loki 2.0, it's a dark launcher icon, still the smiley launcher like the green and blue, just dark. Grab the blue launcher I have too, it's not the bright one that was floating around, its the normal blue, matches well with the themes or the other blue icons like navi.

LOL! I'm asking because I want to credit those people! But if the chain stops at you, that's OK. I already made versions of my previous Gingerbread Dark Theme tweak with green, blue and black icons. I don't like the black one, though, so I'll look and see if Loki's is any better. Thanks!
awesome man, i knew i wasn't the only one who liked the stock mms app but hated those colors.

Yep, I was so happy to learn how to get rid of them. I first found that Captivate app by MikeyMike01 back in mid January and it wouldn't work for the Vibrant, so I took it from there.
do these themes fix the blurry mms problem?

Let me save you the trouble. This is for 2.2 roms not 2.2.1. I believe that jellette posted a blurry fix for 2.2.1 in the themes just make sure its the i9000 and not the 4g vibrant version

Those are nice Raymond! Nice work!
What is the color of the notification icon?
Also , I just renamed it from Mmsv1.apk to Mms.apk then copied and pasted, replaced the currant one, no need to fix permissions...at least on my end.
Thanks for posting these!

Sorry guys, no one has posted in here in forever, so I just poke my nose in every once in a while to check the downloads. Yes, it does fix the blurry mms problem, but not the current one on 2.2.1 Roms. For that there are two fixes, the first from the new 4g port, and then Jellete made a separate one.

Your welcome, duce! That is a good question and I don't know the answer because it depends upon the theme you are using I think. Right now I'm using clean tangerine, so my notification icon is orange. I'll guess that the default icon is blue, knowing Samsung, lol!

Just to be more exact, the reason a captivate rom would not work with this is because of AT&T. They have some message center that their particular mms app calls. Everything will work fine until you try to send something, then it will FC. I know this because the original mms that I made was the Gingerbread one made by MikeyMike from the Captivate threads. It was a phenomenal app with more funtionality and twice the size (in bytes) as any other mms.apk I'd seen.
Apk's can be really strange. The Galaxy Tab email.apk will work in either 2.2 or 2.2.1. So will the TouchwizGTG launcher from the Tab as well as many other .apk's. Then you come across some that don't work like the OceanWaves live Wallpaper. Just didn't want you to automatically assume .apk's from other Roms would automatically not work. You must test them yourself.

I'm still investigating what works with what. It would be easier if I would flash something else and test it myself, but I'm not willing yet. My health hasn't been that great lately. I can manage to edit simple .9.png's though, so that might goad me into redoing everything.
Would this work on gingerbread?
Omg! <3 epic!!
