Status Led v0.4

[Guest Igor Alpha]

I found post on this forum, where problem of notification without LED indicator was discussed.

http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000-verizo...-led-on-amoled/

Here is proof-of-concept of application which can notify about missed events with turned off backlight.

How it works:

1. App would start with system start.

2. After missing a call (or sms message, or email) and some user idle time, app would display in fullscreen with black background and "missed call" (missed sms / missed mail) icon. Backlight would turned off.

3. Before you tap the screen icon would change position in random order.

4. If you touch the screen, default selected LockScreen would appear. Backlight would turned on. (Long tap provide context menu, where you can terminate app.)

Now app has some restrictions:

- App tested on Samsung I8000:

1) worked on WM 6.1 and default Samsung LockScreen application.

2) worked on WM 6.5 with standard windows slider LockScreen.

3) worked on WM 6.5 with S2U2.

4) worked on WM 6.5 without any Lock Screen.

I don't know how it would work with other custom LockScreens.

- Now only missed calls, sms and email messages is monitored

- If you have missed call, sms or email application would run infinite, until you tap, unlock and dismiss missed call

Installation:

- Just install cab, in appeared StatusLed Settings select your lock type and apply settings.

Screenshots

Main screen (three different events are missed)

Next images from left to right

1. Main screen options (now you can only terminate app or view "about" message)

2. StatusLed Settings (you can select lock type to use and control app state)

Changes in v0.4 (8 march 2010)

• added: Settings app. Through Settings you can select lock type and control application state.
  
• added: shortcut for Settings app in start menu.
  
• added: support for S2U2.
  
• added: support for custom lock screen. You can select lock screen .exe which would start/terminate from StatusLed. Perfectly work with WM 6.1 standard Samsung "Lockscreen.exe".
  
• added: support for work without any lock screen.
  
• fixed: work with short system screen off interval (< 1min).
  
• now application settings appear automatically right after .cab install so you can select and apply desired settings. No soft-reset needed anymore.
  
  • added: monitoring of sms and email missed messages.
    
  • added: support for wm6.5 and wm6.1 in single executable
    

  Changes in v0.2

  [*]added: support for wm6.5 standard LockScreen

  It's just proof of concept, please, remember it.

Great idea, same problem.

[Guest Teflanzy]

nice work

waiting for further development

[Guest adioph]

how i wish it can be used also for wm6.5.? thanks

[Guest Igor Alpha]

Sorry, my Omnia II comes with WM 6.1 ROM and I like it for speed, stability and free RAM volume.

Please, tell me, which Lock Screen used in WM 6.5 on Omnia II standard Samsung ROM. Is it standard winmobile WM 6.5 Lock Screen with slider or Samsung-style customized Lockscreen?

I have my old Toshiba G900 flashed with WM 6.5 so I can try some ideas on it or on WM 6.5 Emulator to get app work on WM 6.5.

[Guest ajhvdb]

But you can hear it. Search google for ReRemind. It's free.

[Guest adioph]

we are using WM 6.5 Lock Screen with slider.

Thanks.

Many thanks, app is great.

I have 6.5 lite and problems like others wrote. When screen is locked, someone calls, app won't show missed calls. when i unlock the screen and wait it works. it also works after that even if screen is locked.

i use TouchLockPro for screen locking

[Guest ajhvdb]

we are using WM 6.5 Lock Screen with slider.

Thanks.

And?

[Guest Igor Alpha]

WM 6.5 version added.

StatusLed for WM6.5 would work with standard slider Lock Screen. If you Lock Screen is customized app wouldn't work.

Tested on WM 6.5 with JA5 ROM.

[Guest surethom]

Fantastic Thanks, why Samsung did not add a notification light on phone????? Just installed with win mobile 6.5 & it works. Thank you for this.

[Guest surethom]

Works well for missed call with green icon. Could you please add a orange?? icon for when you have a missed text message, that would be fantastic.

Many Thanks.

[Guest navin-shetty]

wow, thanks it works with my Omnia II fantastic.....ppz at xda waiting for this app, finally you did it....great you....

[Guest surenz]

Is there a way to work with S2U2 lockscreen ?

I put it in the exeption list of the program but seems that StatusLED don't work. It quits with an error.

[Guest TheGoDxxxx]

hi igor, thanx for writing the cab for us. I know u only released the cab as a proof of concept but I believe it wouldn't be hard to develop I complete application from what u already accomplished.

Whats missing IMO is the inclusion of missing text messages and email, maybe the option to use different graphics as a alternative and some additional options to configure all that. And compatibility with other lock-software like s2u2 (which I am using myself).

[Guest deepower]

THIS IS GREAT!!

I mean really all we needed was a simple start and now we have it.

Waiting for further developments! (and from other devs,too)

PS. I used to code a little but high school sucks big time soo i had to quit. Wish i could help! all i remember now is the If s and For s (written in blue :D) ;)

keep up the good work,

[Guest babyjosef17]

Just to let you all know. I'm using stock 6.5ROM latest version (sorry I always forget the number)

I don't use the defaut lock screen. Cuz I don't want lockscreen, it's nice to just switch off your screen and still have the Music videos playing.

So even without the lock screen, as long as phone blanks screen itself, for me it's 60secs, the Status LED on AMOLED works.

This is just brilliant, Truly Brilliant! Thank you so much for this.

In the future, once we also have status LED for unread sms, unread email, and notifications, and we can have those status LED icons all the same time in the blank screen, each randomly switching places from time to time, we will be the envy of all TFT device users lol! All I'm saying, I so excited with the future developments for this.

This should be featured in pocketnow !

Thanks again! Igor Alpha

[Guest babyjosef17]

Oh Just to add another thing.

I switched off my today screen (using today off) No lock screen enabled, I still get the Status LED. As long as your screen switches off on it's own (60 sec for me) The status LED will show.

Great work!!!

Hi guyz!

Thanks for your replies. On this weekend I would try to add some enhancements in application.

First, I want to improve application code. Because now code in deep deep beta status and need to be optimized.

Next, add monitoring for unread messages with orange icon as surethom and TheGoDxxxx said.

Then take a look on S2U2. Never use it before, so don't know how it would be difficult or easy to manipulate it.

It's just a short plan for near future.

[Guest plguzman]

Great!... Will be the perfect app when includes SMS, Email and Instant Messenger leds...

Thanks for this.

[Guest tommy1971]

I'm so excited with your new application, fantastic work!

[Guest lambi1982]

Could this be made into a standby screensaver?.

Something about my phone showing a star field or random facts while sleeping (the phone that is) is just awesome ;) :D :(
