I've seen and tried a couple of work arounds to remove App Associations from ICS/Sense 4.1 - I've tried fapple final but get boot loops. Tried removing HTCLinkifyDispatcher.apk (w/ build.prop edits) and nothing at all links up. Is there any method that actually works for our device?
(was using CM10.1 but the secure lock screen slowness and deteriorating quality took me back to VIPER)

I don't have a Sense ROM installed right now, but I assume this setting still exists:
Settings > Applications > (App which you don't want associated anymore) > Clear defaults

Due to a lawsuite with Apple, HTC had to put in an open app to app hook block - HTCLinkifyDispatch.apk. Its gotten better in OTAs but it still prevents things like clicking "Yes | No | Maybe" in GCal invite emails from opening in the Calender app.
Also, I don't mean to get off topic but you work is great but a few little things are smoother in stock.

After some of the later unofficials I find it laggy. Random scroll jumps (jumps down, then back up). Play still crashes, no matter CPU settings. Touch also goes unresponsive where official nightlies rarely did. I can deal with all of that actually. The kicker is the pin, password and pattern unlock are painfull slow across all versions of CM10.1 on this device. Setting it in preferences is fast but actually using it to unlock your phone it vibrates like a mother and either freezes or severly lags behind.

I've put this in the Development section because whilst it is almost fully functional, it still needs a lot of development. Please be aware of this when you download it. I am not to be held responsible for anything that may happen as a result of running this app.
Requirements:
Root Access & a Custom ROM (StreakDroid 1.8.0 recommended (CONFIRMED WORKING ON 1.8.0))
Built under a 2.2 framework. If you are running anything pre-2.2 please be aware it may not work.
Please remember to remove all previous versions of the app before installing.
Simply open the app and press the "Menu" button. I hope you can figure the rest out! Enjoy!
"LED Notification FREE" has been uploaded in the Market. It has full functionality and it Ad Supported.
Please be aware that this version includes an "AdBlocker Check". This will block the app from opening if you have an adblocker installed on your phone. Sorry about this but i hate adblockers Alternatively, you can just remove all instances of Admob from your Hosts file.
Code:
[I][B][COLOR="blue"]QUICK HANDCENT FIX[/COLOR][/B]:
Open Handcent, press 'Menu > Settings > Notification settings > Popup settings'.
[B]MAKE SURE[/B] 'Screen on for popup' is [B]UNCHECKED[/B].
Handcent wont interfere with my app from then on :D[/I]
NEW TO 2.0.1
Asks for SU Access when the app first loads Fixes some weird error that happens every now and again.
Completely re-coded the SMS receiver. Much smoother now!
SMS and Gmail Notifications can be turned on or off
New settings page - done properly now, wont save anything to sdcard [you can delete your STREAKLED folder now!] Press the 'menu' button when you open the app for settings.
Permissions tweaked (should be less LED problems)
KNOWN BUGS
Changing orientation during the pattern causes problems. Just don't do it!
Notifications overwrite each other. So if an SMS message arrives and then a Gmail, only the Menu button will be lit, and vice versa.
Services cannot be stopped (only by uninstalling) FIXED - 2.0
Sometimes all the buttons will end up being lit, not sure why. [SHOULD BE FIXED]
TODO
Add options for turning the SMS and Gmail notifications on and off DONE - 2.0
Have different patterns for each DONE - 1.3
Improve the UI (sort of) DONE - 2.0
Improve the pattern flashing sequence (sort of) DONE - 2.0
Clean up the code (WIP )DONE - 2.0
Fix orientation issue
This will ALWAYS be available for free on here, on Modaco and on my website (see sig) but i have uploaded a 'donate' version on the Android Market Place priced at £1.50, just incase you fancy buying me a beer
Enjoy

I've put this in the Development section because it is not fully functional and still needs a lot of development. This is basically a proof of concept app.
Requirements: Root Access (tested on 2.1 but build under a 1.6 framework so it should work on 1.6)
All you have to do is run the application, hit the home button and receive a text (or send yourself one). If your phone is locked it will wake up and dim the screen and flash the home/menu/back LEDs in a nice pattern and then keep the screen dimmed until you unlock the phone manually.
The only problem is that you will receive a Force Close error message and you will then have the re-open the app for it to work again. I am trying to fix this but will not be able to look into it for a few days so i thought i would release what i've done so far.
I will be adding settings and more patterns as soon as i can fix this FC error.

Well... GREAT!!! Thanks! It works... Was searching this kind of app for weeks. Thanks again!
Great little app. Can't wait for thenext update
Nice work.
Just out of interest though, what's the dangers of having the screen on dim all night if I get a text message at stupid o'clock?
Wouldn't want to burn anything on my screen if that is possible.

Screen burn is an issue on LCD screens, hence why i set it to do a dim wake lock instead of a full brightness one. Saying that, i have absolutely no idea whether screen burn would still occur but ill test it tonight and report back
On a positive note i have fixed the FC error and will release the fully working version tomorrow!!
Nice work dude ! Look forward to a full release tomorrow.

No, i'm afraid not.
Without Root Access it will probably just force close.
Currently in the process of adding more LED patterns
It also now wakes the phone, unlocks the phone and displays an "SMS Message Received" popup which it then hangs at until you close it.
Do you guys think this is better or should I make it lock the screen instead?
What else should i add/change?

I'd prefer it stayed locked, also if I read this thread correctly, it leaves the screen on (but dimmed?) is that true? I would need it to kill the screen, because as noted, it could kill your battery if you went a long time w/o clearing the alert.
Nice work so far though...

Yeah, that's the only problem.
unfortunately, killing the screen freezes the LEDs in whatever state they're in, completely defying the point of the app
What i could do though, is wake up the screen, flash the LEDs but leave one on and turn the screen back off. This would turn everything off apart from that 1 LED and you could use different LEDs for different notifications. I'll try that out later.
Yeah, that seems like a good idea. Maybe the Back LED for missed SMS, the Menu LED for missed call. Something like that.
That would be cool, I'll await your work and give it a try.
Well, it turns out that works miles better than what i was trying before.
Basically, it now turns the screen on, keeps it locked, flashes the LEDs, turns the screen back off and leaves the home LED on.
Give me about 10 mins and i'll put up a working version. No FC error this time
Can't wait for this!

None of the options work on the main screen yet, but they will.
Enjoy
I haven't tried this yet, but I just want to say THANKS! No notification light was driving me crazy! I'm gonna install it now. I like that it would kill the screen but leave the LED light on. That's perfect!
**EDIT**
Well, it didn't work perfectly. Here's what happened on my Beta Streak....
With locking disabled (I use the 'NO LOCK' widget), it turned the screen on and said 'SMS received' and the home LED was on, for about 1-2 minutes, then both went off. When I turned back on the screen and read the msg, the LED went out.
With locking enabled, like most people would be using the app, the screen turned on for a few seconds while the LED pulsed, then both went out. No notification. When I unlock and read the msg, the home LED stays on. I have to 'clear' the app in the notification tray and lock then unlock the screen to make the home LED go out.
Seems like they're little tweaks that could be needed. If you can make this work and be functional, I'll donate to your Paypal! Again, thanks for your work on this project!!
Yeah, it's still pretty much in it's 'Alpha' stage
Cheers, for the feedback, i'll look into the errors.
I know that if the screen is unlocked the Home LED will stay on until you lock/unlock the screen, but that should be an easy fix (hopefully), and i've not set up the Thread's quite right i don't think which could be causing the timing errors.
I'll be spending all of tomorrow getting this thing working so i'll report back
Awesome! You are the man!
A thought for down the road development:
Earlier today when I was thinking about this, I imagined an interface where the user could "record" their own flash sequence for each type of notification they had - email, sms, mms, missed call, etc. Just choose which notification they want to specify, click record, then tap the capacitive buttons in the sequence you want them to light up, then end the recording. Interval timing could be recorded or specified manually. Just a few ideas!
Thanks so much for this. I'll give it a run soon.
Awesome work. Wanted something like this. I hope you will be able to add notifications for misssed calls and gmail as well. Keeping my fingers crossed.
this is making me feel like a total loooooser, but I can't find the setting to remove the 3D homescreen "effect." -- I'm running LGS 1.6 and don't remember the setting being so difficult to find when I turned the damn thing on, but now I think its screwing with my screen...
Mostly visible on the homescreen, but never in an running app, are a bunch of static lines that have gone away in the past with a reboot, but are getting worse and worse now...any ideas or is anybody else experiencing this on this ROM?
Thanks

Yea..the setting wasn't there...I've restored since b/c I had a host of other probs and it showed up...thanks guys
I've been suffering from sporadic sense restarts for a couple of weeks now, usually after heavy app use and when using the 'back' key to get back to the main screen. I've tried uninstalling programs and removing widgets to try and isolate the problem with little success. However, I may have stumbled upon it's root cause...showing the weather on the lock screen.
Right before a sense restart one day I briefly saw the weather lock screen flash which I thought was peculiar, so I disabled it (set it to the basic wallpaper) and it has been running perfect ever since! Also the lag moving from screen to screen that was happening from time to time is totally gone now as well. It's like the turbo has been turned back on....
I'm not sure if this is a coincidence, or possibly gets sense below a memory threshold that's the underlining issue, but I thought I'd pass it along to see if it helps others that have been experiencing the soft restarts as well.
Yeah, I have been having the same reboot screen problems with Sense even without the Weather lock screen. It makes me like Sense more and more after I really liked it on the TP2, OG Evo, and Evo 3D.

E This has been covered in a number of threads. Weather in and of itself is not the culprit, it's the resource use and how much of that sense and the Sense loader takes up. A search will show many discussions

ALL of Sense's lock screens take up about 50MB of data. Productivity, Weather, nothing but the wallpaper.. they're all the same.
The best bet is if you're root to delete HTC's lockscreen, saving 50MB, and going with stock ICS. You have to unlock to answer phonecalls, but it's worth it.
Also, get a different launcher like nova or apex. Even if they have to restart they're MUCH quicker than Sense.
try my rom
ive never had sense reboot
From more experimenting it looks like it's not the weather lock per se, as soon as I added a battery widget I started getting restarts again. It's like Sense gets to a certain memory usage and the restarts ensue. The last thing I did before it stopped restarting was change from the weather lock, so it's quite possible it was on the edge and the weather graphics/etc. put it over the threshold.
Anyways, a custom ROM is definitely next on my list, would have already done if I could get into wallet to reset.....
Did you try changing the build prop? I did that to reset my wallet so I could Rom it.
You don't have "Don't keep activities" checked in developer options do you? I had that checked and it it caused sense to restart constantly... As it should, I wasn't thinking when I checked it.

Regarding resetting the wallet..
I edited my build.prop to have ro.device or something along that to say htc_jewel instead of just jewel. I was able to get into wallet, and I used that lucky break to clear out my wallet settings so I could wipe out the OS.
For the past week or so my phone has had flickering multicolored lines flash across the homescreen(s)/lockscreen when I turn the display back on. Sometimes it will also happen if I'm sitting on the homescreen with the display already on.
Here is my Rom history as the problem began:
Was on supernexus (Android 4.2.2 I believe) - issue was not present
Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6 (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset before install)- started having the issue
Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6.2 (wiped cache/dalvik)- issue still present
Flashed AOCP 5.7 yesterday (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset and formatted internal SD)- thought issue was gone, but it started happening again today.
I tried taking screenshots but the issue disappears as soon as I press the volume+power button to take the screenshot. This only seems to happen when I'm on the homescreen/lockscreen, I dont think it has happened while in any other apps.
I'm wondering if this might be an issue with the specific version of the Nova launcher, as I believe that is the common denominator between these Roms (isn't AOCPs launcher based on CM's nova?). I just installed go launcher and the problem seems to be gone (for now).
Has anyone else seen something like this? I apologize if this has been discussed somewhere, I spent several hours searching Google and XDA before posting. I can post a picture later when I have access to another camera phone.
Same issue here
I have the same issue at the lock screen. Prevalent on all JB roms I have tried, carbon, revolt & slim bean.
I'm currently using Carbon nightly. I have not seen a fix for this yet. I have heard it might be an issue with the processor waking up from sleep.
After installing Go Launcher Ex opening it a couple times and then going back to using the Aspire launcher that came with AOCP, I haven't had this issue again all afternoon. Didn't have it at all yesterday though, so it might come back.
I played around with all the brightness settings but it didn't seem to do anything. Do you happen to have any pictures of the effect you are getting? I'll try and post a picture of mine tonight if it happens again. Thanks!
About 3 hours ago, I changed some GPU & lock screen settings and the issue has not reappeared.
I will post back either later tonight or tomorrow morning with some info.
I haven't taken any photos of the problem yet. By the way, do you usually experience the issue on lock screen coming from a screen off state?
ditto on this. I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed and I get these lines intermittently.
Try turning off CRT animations and disable hw overlays.

Go to settings, developer options scroll half way down and you will find it. You will have to disable it every time you reboot or you can use two paid apps from the market. These apps are tasker and secure setting they are both worth every cent.

I usually get the flickering with the lock screen (I use WidgetLocker Lockscreen). I was having some flickering this morning and checking both of those options seemed to immediately cut out the flickering.
I ran across it(the flickering lines) on one of the 4.2.2 roms, can't remember exactly which one but what I ended up having to do was disable one of the tweak apps it came with and install Trickster Mod only. Worked for me, no more flickering or rebooting, not sure what the cause may have been but have had no other issues after that for I believe it was 2 weeks
Please elaborate

Scroll down to my post there. If you still need help, just let me know.
Trickster mod I believe is mainly for Rom's that have Kernels that can be OC'd or Under Clocked. Kind of the same as Android Tweaker or SetCPU but is a little smoother for me IMO.
Hi guys ive got a Samsung s3 which is on 4.3 official stock rom, however im having some problems. Firstly is the problem of lagging, for example i could be using the browser and when i go back to the home screen there is nothing there and it takes a few seconds for all the icons to load back.
Second problem which is intermittent and usually goes away when i reboot the phone is when swiping through the homescreen i get these weird screen flickers (Not sure if screen flicker is the right word) but basically i can see my other app icons in the background which become enlarged. I have included some picures to better explain. Do you think this is a hardware or software fault and what should i do?
Any helps appreciated, Thanks.

(1) Backup any files photos then factory reset
If problem still there
(2) Flash another stock rom with Odin
If problem still there probably hardware related
I have the same problem. The flicker of the screen I think is touchwizz because when I use another launcher dissappears.

I also got that flickering on TW launchers (even on an S5 themed one). And actually, it's not a flickering, it is a stretched app icon (in the screenshot you atached it is Camera). I observed (at least in my case) that this happens when the RAM usage is above 700-750MB. try a custom ROM (after backing up, recommended) like SmartDroid Simple v7, NxTGen 13.1, ehich both have really good RAM usage (on Smartdroid v7 I got as low as 280, if i remember well.

what did you do yo remove this weird issue?
I had similar problems after updating from official 4.1.2 to official 4.3 (MJ9 ROM, November 2013). Problems were extremely widespread. I got sick of waiting for Samsung to even acknowledge the problem and eventually moved to NeatROM, and I'm happy to say I haven't looked back. I will probably never return to stock now.

You bumped within a couple of hours? Why?
- Go to Settings > More > Application Manager > Running > Select the app you want end and click "Force Stop" (Please make sure you dont close any important app)
- Hold menu button until you get the recents bar then clear all
- Try "Greenify" and use that to reduce the number of running apps.
- Install a custom-ROM like SmartDroid, it is lightweight sammy ROM and uses less storage and RAM.
