LED Flashing

[Guest Chad B.]

Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics:

If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.

a = activate device

cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume

fN = flash notification LED for N seconds

p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.

r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.

vN = vibrate for N seconds

wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

I've tried changing the Vibrate scripts to customize them, but found they quickly revert themselves back to default even without restarting the phone. Any idea how to make them "stick"?

I purchased LEDalerts (saw it on HoFo), works great, easy to use, and the settings stick through a reset. Highly recommended! They have a 7 day free trial

Interesting stuff, especially the definitions of the script values. Each profile is defined by an xml file in \Application Data\Profiles and there are scripts just like you describe defined in those xml files. For instance, Normal.prof.xml has

	<characteristic type="Sounds">

		<parm name="RingTypeAll" value="apw3r"/>

	</characteristic>

I think that if you edit the scripts in the xml files they will stick between reboots. However, I don't see any references to flashing the LED in there anywhere. So if you just want to edit how your phone rings, that's the place to do it.

Just stating a fact bro. You want your LED's to flash for event notification, that's the way to go. Seems like folks like this app.
