[MOD] Multicolor Notification LED

[Guest gst0098]

Any1 tried on CoolUI by ATX?

While the Blue, Red and Green directories are present the patch doesn't seem to work.

I suspect CoolUI make something not canonical to leds management as apps that control leds do not works.

Any solution for A310 rom? Whatever you need just ask, maybe we should decompile some files or anything really.

I tried this on baldos81's KK AOSP rom but it seems that white isn't available. I tried it with Gravitybox, Light Manager Pro and even through commandline but no luck. No matter what order I enable the 3 colors from the commandline, as soon as both green and blue are on, red turns off. Does white work on other roms?

 

edit: yellow doesn't seem to work either.

 

It actually does work but the difference is so small that I couldn't see it.

Apologies if this is a dumb question but is there a flashable zip for this 7 colour LED patch?

One that works with AOSP ROMs such as A310 or Maucat?

Thanks

Hi there,

i hope i can find some help here, the only thread  i saw shedding some light on the issue i am experiencing so far.

Firstly i have to mention that i am not the owner of a Coolpad but i simply use an Android phone with KitKat preinstalled and standard ROM

But i believe this issue with notification LEDs is common to any Android phone.

By the way my issue: the LED blue color is not working on my smartphone, as i should see at leat 3 leds working, sug=ch as red,green and blue)

Forget about mixing colors until i saw this post. Will ask later about this.

My situation is the following browsing within the system with Root Explorer:

Isystem/lib/hw/lights.default.so

this file when i read it shows there is a command to manage blue light

but

sys/class/leds folder contains:

green and red (blue is missing)
button-backlight
lcd-backlight

sys/devices/platform/leds-mt65xx/leds
same story,blue is missing

 So i am assuming that those 'scientists' that were doing m phone made a mistake?

How do i insert add the blue into those folders? If possible?

I tried to copy files like red or green to a SD card to rename them and put them back as additional files within those folders,

but when i do it it actually creates a never ending series of sub folders and files, rather than just copy the single file. So i can't proceed.

Coming back to the MODded lights.default.so:

i actually tried to use this file but temporarily replacing the original one.

Problems: no LEDS at all now, i only have two by the way), red and green- and back ligth gone after the set time (30 seconds) i cant put back the screen back light on by hard button.

I had to take off the battery and quickly put back the original lights.default.so file and it was back to 'normal'.

Now what i was looking for is: 

adding the blue light working at least.

Ideally being able to use this magic file that allows multicolor.

How do i go about it?

HELP!!

Are you sure about that? I.e. it being a general issue?

Surely it depends on the hardware?

Maybe your phone simply doesn't have blue?

And why post here when this is a forum specifically for Coolpad F1!?!?

Hello, i meant that anyone with Android phone could have an issue with leds and this mod could apply to many phones not just a Coolpad.

The file that control the lights has instructions for the blue, but the file for blue in the sys is missing and If my phone hasn't blue light at all i can't tell.

I posted here because i haven't found another similar discussion for what i need.If there is I would like to know.

If I was you I'd first check that my phone actually had blue LED capability.

If it hasn't then everything else is a waste of time.
