Android :: Adb Controls G1 Keyboard LEDs

Sep 13, 2010

At the moment the LEDs that light up the keyboard of the G1 (HTC Dream) are very quick to turn off, I time it at six seconds. This is a pain when using the phone in the dark as you must press a button in order to turn the lights back on if you look away even for a very short time. Since my G1 is rooted I have access to the system files and when using adb to open a shell (adb shell) to the USB connected phone I can set the brightness file to a positive value using echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness. This keeps the keyboard on, until the screen is set to turn off (two minutes on my phone). When I attempt the same using a Terminal Emulator or writing a simple app which should execute the same it does nothing despite both having root access. Why is this?

Android :: Does Not Support Colored LEDs

Oct 20, 2009

I am the developer of a heavily used application (over 110.000 active installs) and got one problem with the Android platform. One of the features in my application uses the normal way of the Android SDK to display a LED notification with a selectable color. The color can be set by ledARGB flag in http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.html. This had been working with the emulator, the HTC G1 and the HTC Magic (myTouch) but now users starting to report that the HTC Hero does not show up different colors. (although the charging LED for the HTC Hero is orange and the normal notification color is green). The same thing occurs for setting a vibrate pattern. (flag -> vibrate in http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.html) This does not work on the HTC Hero US. (it does work on the EU/GSM version of the Hero).....

Android :: Access The Camera's LEDs Directly

Jul 2, 2010

I'm still pretty new to using Android, but I decided that my first application would be a simple flashlight app for my new Incredible. Unfortunately, it seems to be more difficult than I had originally thought.

It seems that there's no way to access the LEDs through the SDK, at least not without a bunch of weird hacks to make the phone pretend that it's taking a picture. Even then, I can only get the LEDs to turn on. They only turn off if the phone is put on hold, and doing so breaks all camera-related apps until the phone is rebooted.

So, I was wondering if accessing the LEDs through the NDK was possible, or if there was any other camera-related APIs that would seem to do what I want.

I've looked at other code for other flashlights, so it looks like it's a hardware-based problem. I figured I'd give up because it doesn't appear to be possible, but I thought I should ask here first on the off-chance somebody knows something that I don't.

HTC Incredible :: Using LEDs As Flashlight

Jun 30, 2010

Has anyone had any issues leaving the LEDs on (using Lampu) as far as heat from the phone? I can assume there was a reason that HTC didnt allow the LEDs to be on for video recording. Not sure if its just current draw or possible heat/damage to the driver circuit for the LEDs.

HTC Incredible :: LEDs Stay ON At Standby

Jun 27, 2010

Every now and then when I press the power button to put my Incredible to standby and/or after the 1 minute timeout. The screen turns off as usual but sometimes the LEDs for the buttons stay lit. Sometimes if left alone long enough they will turn off on their own, but most of the time they stay on till I bring the phone out of standby and then put it back into standby. Is anyone else getting this? Is there a way to fix it?

Motorola Droid :: Way To Set Different-colored LEDs For Different Notifications?

Nov 14, 2009

So I know Gmail always comes up as a green LED on my Droid, and that's fine. Also, I use Handcent SMS, and I can change the color of notification on that, so I have it set to pink (seemed like fun at the time.) I'd love an app that would let me choose the colors of other notification LEDs. Anyone know of one like that? I tried using the Market to search for notification and LED, but didn't find anything.

HTC Eris :: LED Hack / Way Do Turn Off Screen LEDs

Sep 26, 2010

Is there any program or other way do turn off the screen LEDs for example when docked at night? LEDs Hack from the market has an option for Hero with Froyo. I emailed the developer, but didnt know if anyone here had any solutions. I'm running KF v35-1 btw. I was looking at replacing my clock on my bedside table with a dock that would hold the phone upright so I could see the time. I can keep the display on, but wanted the bright lights on the front off. With the program below, I can turn off all LEDs except the white ones behind the home, menu, back and search keys. I tried all the different phones. One of the first times I tried it, the LEDs all went out and would not come back on. Did a reboot and dalvk wipe which restored the LEDs. I went back through all the devices again and could not repeat the result of getting all lights out. The Hero version can stop all LEDs except the leds i mentioned.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: Disable Front LEDs

When using Google Sky it is possible to set the app to night mode which is nice, but as soon as you press the menu button (e.g. to search) the bright white LEDs come on and ruin your night vision. So is it possible to disable the front LEDs on the phone? Do they serve any purpose anyway?

Samsung Galaxy S :: Soft Key LEDs As Notification Light

Sep 24, 2010

What's the status on this issue? Many of the Samsung Galaxy S phones come with a beautiful array of soft keys with LEDs that are dieing to be used as notification lights as well. For example, the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant has 4 soft keys (menu, home, back, search). I would like to be able to set the menu key to light up at an interval of 3 seconds within the first hour of receiving a text message and light up at an interval of 5 seconds or more after the first hour of receiving a text message. Has Samsung released the necessary API? Or does Google have control over this?

Android :: Better Keyboard - Switch From T9 Keyboard To Regular Qwerty Keyboard

Apr 18, 2010

For those of you that are familiar with better keyboard. I was wondering about an easy way to switch from the t9 keyboard to the regular qwerty keyboard. I was under the impression that swiping left would toggle between the 2 but all that does is bring me to the numbers and symbols keyboard. I've been changing back and forth to the android keyboard because its faster than going into the better keyboard settings.

Motorola Droid X :: APP - ROOT - Keyboard - Keyboard Manager - Dual Keyboard - Portrait - Landscape Switch

Nov 10, 2010

I tried it and it works so far.

Dev = ne0fhyk from XDA.

From the XDA forum: Link to app page = [APP][ROOT/Keyboard] Keyboard Manager - Dual keyboard: Portrait/landscape switch - xda-developers

Verbage:

Keyboard Manager allows you to customize what keyboard (input method) appear on input based on your phone orientation.
It displays the keyboards you have enabled on your android device, and let you select one per orientation (landscape/portrait).
As your phone switch orientation, the app automatically switch the keyboard.

Requirements:
- Rooted android device (app was tested on Samsung captivate 2.1)
- Root Explorer app, or similar app that allows you to edit the permissions of a file.

To install:
1- Download the app (KeyboardManager.apk) on your device sdcard.
2- Using Root Explorer, move the apk file to /system/app
3- Using Root Explorer, edit the file permissions like below:
-- User: 'Read/Write' checked
--Group: 'Read' checked
--Others: 'Read' checked
4- Exit Root Explorer

The app should be visible in your launcher as 'Keyboard Manager'

Update:
- Added option to disable notification icon
-' start on boot' feature is disabled because it's not yet complete and tested... Sorry for the confusion

Bugs:
-On certain applications (i.e: Messaging on Samsung Captivate), the input window occasionally freeze on orientation switch. Exiting the app, and resuming should fix it.

The app is still in development.

Android : Need Volume Controls App

Jul 10, 2010

Before I destroyed my EVO, I had an app that would allow me to set several volume controls (separate ones for incoming calls, notifications, media, etc), brightness, even the 4G, wifi, and more. It mostly used multiple sliders that went from left (quiet) to right (louder). I did a search here, but none of the returns rang a bell (pun intended). Can you suggest a few of them that meet this description? Maybe one of them is the one I was using. For those of you who are curious, I accidentally drove over my first EVO. Not pretty. I'm trying to set up the replacement just like I had the first one. This time, I'll do backups...

Android :: Need App Bring Music Controls To Top?

Nov 11, 2009

One thing I do like about the iphone/ipod touch is that you set the home button to double tap and have that bring up the music controls. really basic, just brings up pause/play, forward, and back...and volume. I really miss that since I'm trying to use my Droid as my main music player now, but I hate that I have to click a widget or go to notifications to change the music. Especially when I'm driving, its would be so much easier if the controls popped up above the lock screen so i don't have to unlock every time. Any thoughts?

Android :: Understanding Relative Layout - Add Four Controls

May 19, 2010

I'm attempting to add four controls to a layout; <label> <text> <seek> <radio> I want the seek widget to occupy all the available screen space between the edittext control and the radio control. However if I give it the value android:layout_width="wrap_content" only a small seek control is displayed and if I set the value to fill_parent it overwrites the radio control. I would have thought there would be a mechanism to occupy the free space between the text and radio controls dynamically.
