trackball colors *Post 108*

Can you change the trackball colors on the nexus one?

Mod Edit:
Per lilHermit:

OK I've moved the initial su request to before the main screen is drawn to see if that helps.

Yup, this, too, was one of the big surprises for me today when I got mine. I use and love several apps that flash the notification LED different/custom colours, but on the Nex1, the only colour I get is white.

I'm really, really, hoping that OS2.1 just changed the API and that updated apps will be able to do colours. I'm really, really scared that they cheaped out and put a white LED behind the trackball. >.<

People are saying that when Bluetooth is paired is flashes blue.

I heard when you have voicemail it flashes red. I haven't tried any of them yet though so I wouldn't know.

its a tri color led so it CAN do any color its just a matter of the third party apps adapting to be able to control it, cant wait

White, red, blue....

Anyone else wish they had green?

Though it was very patriotic of HTC.

all colors can be reproduced... just depends on the software that lights up the ball.

indeed it can be changed

unfortunately it stops working after a notification is fired...

Install NotifyLight from XDA:

then set up the pulselight on and change the values in:

/sys/devices/platform/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0066/leds/jogball-backlight/color

ie:

adb shell echo "255 0 0" > /sys/devices/platform/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0066/leds/jogball-backlight/color

this will give you a nice red jogball.

"255 0 0" is in RGB format.

And off course you need root for this to work...
