Now i know what you're all thinking "we love you Juggalo_X" and i say you're welcome

Just extract the Zip file and copy the cab installer to your device.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

Awesome!

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

i'm not sure if I want this yet but THANKS for the option!!

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

it does what it says it enables options in the "sounds and notifications" settings that were once unavailable

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

I guess you already said it for me.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

Has anyone found a way to set a notification for Picture Mail?

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

awesome work. I wonder if theres any way now to make the light flash for less than 5 min. 5 min is the minimum time, but it could save a lil battery life if you get a lot of texts/emails/etc. I wouldnt mind 1/2 min as a minimum time

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

an LED takes up little current. it literally will make no battery difference that you will notice dude.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

what am i doing wrong i installed the cab and did a soft rest... Nothing is different i dont see any other options in sounds and notifications.. And nothing is different...

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

this allows you to change the LED duration while retaining all other notification abilities.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

And how do you do this? I dont see any changes eiher with this .cab

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

Go to Settings Tab, Click on Sound (ringtones,etc..) , then Advanced< then Notifications.... You can use the pull down to change the settings for text messages, email, etc...with vibrate and how long led pulsates...


Thanks Juggalo...you da man of da day!:headbang:

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

thanx for sharing your hard work. also for putting into a cab. keep up the good work.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

no problem guys. to be honest i found this weeks ago just plain for got about it till some one asked today. been holdin out on yah lol sorry

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

this phone really need real lights... that white ring sucks...


Great job!!!!

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

bah i think tis cool and the girlfriend thinks its a cute.... but i agree random colors would be cool as hell.... u know id do something about it if i could :)

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

true, but what is the life of the LED. Might be a pain to replace if burnt out :)

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

...True LEDs should never burn out...

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

LED's have a life expectancy of 150k+ hours the device will die before they do. i my self have never seen an led burn out.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

What a jerk.

:headbang:

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Hey Juggalo will this be included in future Juicy roms.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

yes :mrgreen:

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Good work Juggalo!

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

Installed it twice now and still dont see a advance tab under sound and notifications.. Will this not work on the DHarvey's Sprint rom?

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Great job.... Wondering if you can take a step further and make LED in solid color instead of white circling around which is hard to spot in the day light....

Thanks!!

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

also, do we know if the LED ring is just one or a combo of white led's, or are they possible of different colors? i think we would probably have to disassemble it to find out. if it is capable of different colors, then we could start on a proggie that would enable it. im going to assume they are only capable of white light though

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

LED's color is determined by the voltage that passes through them in some cases. u could probably get them to flash something different but i wouldn't know where to begin. it would be driver related like the BB Pearl's update is to change the Pearls flashing color from white to colored.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements
 

screen shot added to first post to show an example of what this hack does.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

right thats where i was going with it. but the they put the led's in the two different versions of the pearl, and they were different. cuz u know sprint/verizon/alltel pearls only have white. someone on crackberry.com said that the actual leds themselves determine if they can produce different colors, on the other hand, your rationale makes just as much sense. more voltage=whiter light, kinda like HID headlamps, the higher the voltage and temperature the whiter the light.

I dont have a clue where to start either though lol


also, some people hate the service light, (i.e. the mogul led flashing green when in coverage) but i want it, does your program have that option to maybe have the led flash every x amount of seconds as a status indicator? i love that feature, but im wondering what kind of effect on the battery that would have if we could write a script to enable that.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

it is true. some led's have a multi filament in them. if we are lucky these ones do as well then its a matter of voltage to determine color. otherwise your correct more powaz = whiter light. thats it.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

i edited my last post, probably while you were replying, can u check it out again for me?

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

If its white only, can we have LED stay solid white (like when its fully charged) for notification (missed call, voicemail, etc) instead of circling around?

Thanks!!

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Once i get my treo back ill check how it uses its status light.

im sure ts just a reg key ;)

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Works great. Thanks for the util.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Np :D

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

This is a thread I posted a few weeks ago that describes what I discovered, the basis for the OP's entries:

"How to change the LED flash duration, unlock options, & turn off phone startup sound."
(http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=38074)

You can actually remove "Available Options" to accomplish the same.

I also think I have found a way to "ungray" the "repeat" setting as well. Stay tuned on that...

If you look carefully around the same keys, you will see other notifications that have configs but no "default" value, therefore no description in the control panel. I added a default value to one of the items, and it showed up on the control panel. I'm in the process of trying to figure out what the unamed entries are...

///

On the subject of LEDs--voltage simply determines intensity, which can be preceived as a change in color temperature, or the light being "whiter". The LED's operating voltage range is fairly limited.

The old LEDs have colored lenses which reflected their colors.

The clear LEDs use different chemical make up to produce the desired color. Most "white" LEDs are blue LEDs with a yellow filter. If you look at a clear white LED carefully, you will see a yellowish filter on top of the diode.

For an LED to produce light in another wave length/color, there much be multiple elements. Since it is a diode, reversing/changing voltage simply won't do.

On the subject of HID (High Intensity Discharge) lights, they are produced by an arc ionizing the gas in the capsule. More voltage may help a bit, but not much. Unlike incandescent bulbs, most arc lights use a transformer that have a primary side and secondary side. You can jack up the voltage on the primary side (12 volt for car, for example), but the output is still based on what the secondary/high voltage side is capable of.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

thanks for clearing that up.

also, im aware of all the options you have discovered as well. i just havnt not posted them. never felt the need.

i also know how to change the options that show up for the ringer as well. but i wont. i can also add Vibrate when ringer is on or off functions to the ringer.

there is no reason to ungrey the repeat option as the only thing its ever useful for is reminders.

Since you seem like a smart guy hop in my ringer thread and see if you can help me out. im stuck in the final step for getting unique, user changable ringers for Known, Unknown and Roaming callers ;)

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

im going to work on adding windows live messenger notifications to the GUI so they sounds can be changed as well guys ;)

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

What about adding a ringer for new picture mail, or is that already done?

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

i dont have a sprint device so i dont have any notification base for it in my registry. do you have an option for that already?
