[Q] backlight notification for SGW W/O flashing

---

Hi folks

I'm looking for an backlight notification app for our SGW.
There is BLN Control which needs an BLN-kernel/mod but I don't want to flash (right now). There also is NoLED which drains somehow battery because initially it is for amoled devices which do not need backlid screen when displaying icons like LCD does. Is there something like "LG Touch Notifications"? I found this for my wifes optimus black and it is awesome. It gives all I need. You can set the frequency and fade for the touch key LED. Set how long and when to blink (you can define sleeping hours ). It also sets repeating sound and vibration.
Do you know something similar or is it possible to port the LG thing to SGW?


Thanks in advance

This is a great thing! Now if some one could actually port it for our device...

Hi,

I found that it works with some Samsung devices: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823922

The corresponding file is in /system/hw/ on my device (original rom) it's called lights.msm7k.so

I don't know how to programm, but it should be possible to get the code from the Samsung i9000 and port it to our file.

Hi

So it should work. But this ist for original BLN. Maybe someone could integrate it to our SGW w/o kernel flash.

This almost works...

What do you mean by "almost works"?

Well you seem to have to disable native alerts for sms, which is no good really,

@phonesgw
Do you think it works without special kernel? As the link you are referring is talking of BLN-Kernel

@tmcthree
Did this tool work for you? This means you use the flash light for notification? But therefore you have to place the phone upside down on the table to see it flashing.


I've got no idea of programming android. What is the difficulty of controlling the LED of the smartbuttons? Why do I need special kernel?

I Am allso searching for a application that lets the Home-Key blink when there is a missed call.. SMS or Email. (My girlfriend has the SGW)

Regarding the LG app.. i used it to... but after 2.3.4 ... the app said it needs Root access to work.

We are still running our LG Optimus Black on 2.2.2. As I read of several disadvantages of updating to 2.3.4 I decided not to do that (until now ;) ). Are you sure you need root? Why that?

I wrote Martin Börjesson, the developer of LG LED Touch Notification. His app is open source and he is willing to help with porting it to other devices. So what we need is someone who knows what to do.
