Here's a bit of fun for you developer-hackers out there...
I've just got my HTC Hermes and like just about every HTC device, it has bright LEDs - my pet hate - that flash when the device is in service. So, here's the deal... "The first person to send me an application (ideally NOT a patched ROM image) that disables the flashing service LED (and maybe the other ones, e.g. BlueTooth too) on at least the HTC Hermes (ideally other HTC devices too), wins a 2GB memory card in the format of their choice (even microSD!) AND a money-can't-buy lifetime subscription to MoDaCo Plus." The only caveat is that the winning entry will be distributed exclusively via MoDaCo for free. Think you're up to it? Bring it on  P QUOTE(Updates) Edit 1: Solution confirmed working for Universal and Hermes. Prophet, Tornado etc. still to be tamed - prize still up for grabs! Universal / Hermes: CAB install to disable all LEDs, GUI to follow. Reboot required after install. Simply use add-remove to revert back for now! 
LightsOut___Universal___Hermes.CAB ( 1.61K )
Number of downloads: 1882Edit 2: This is just a reg tweak! I'm working with a couple of people who are trying to code a solution for OMAP based devices... watch this space! -------------------- Follow me on Twitter - http://twitter.com/paulobrien / Follow MoDaCo on Twitter - http://twitter.com/modaco For Sale (Norfolk, UK) - 2007 (07) Mazda 6 MPS, 2.3 Turbo 4WD 256bhp / Black Mica / 20GB Bose / DVD Nav / K&N + much more, 47k miles - £9,995 - PM me for details     |

I don't think it's going to be an easy project... in fact, i'll be suprised if it's achieved

Noooooooo, that's the whole point!
They're too bright at night! I put my phone on the bedside table and I want to sleep in the dark damn it, in the day I don't care (although it's a waste of battery)! P |

That CAN be done IIRC.
On the Samsung i300 you could turn the LED off altogether in the settings menu (brilliant) or set the colour! P |

forgive me for sounding dumb but as a non programmer doesnt the registry control everything on smoe level
or are the leds controlled by there own "software"?? surely if there is no registry to control them its either a matter of creating one that does or its just not possible ? forgive me for sounding dumb but how will I learn if I dont ask ? |

I seem to remember looking into this a while back (although I actually did want to make an led sequencer for when the phone rings
):http://www.spv-developers.com/forum/showth...;highlight=leds and if you dig a bit deeper into nled.h: http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/led.html now all I need is to be able to code in C+ and the card is mine  Please Note: If you use this information to make the app for Paul, you will have to cut the card in half and send one piece to me |

There will be a low level piece of software that is controlling the LEDs... the registry is just a 'place to store settings' that may or may not be used by pieces of software.

Would be usefull if you have an application that allows you to switch it off and on with a nice icon in the menu as well , and not in .net as this requires the .net on the phone which uses too much of the phones memory
