Great app!
Been using it on my N1 with CM6 RC2 for a week now without a problem.

The only thing I dislike is that I receive two missed call notification in my notification bar every time I miss a call.
One notification is the system notification with the callers name and the other one comes from blinker itself just stating missed call.
That's the only annoying thing I experienced so far.

How about support for mail notification / twitter / facebook ...

Again great app, should be build in into Android from the beginning or into custom ROMs.

Thanks for the app! If you're looking for any feature requests, how about things we can't do with the trackball alerts, like "bluetooth on" "wifi on" "networks available" "battery status" "silent/vibrate/volume status", etc. I realize there would be a concern about battery draw, but if it means that a person has to turn the screen on and off so many less times per day, it may make up for it (and then some).

Thanks again!
Billy

Good points, i try to add them :)

Has anyone tried this on a HTC Touch Pro 2 phone? I'm a total noob! How easy it is to install a file with a apk extension? I'm used to installing cab files so I'm new to how this works. Thanks!

do you have windows or android running on it? this is an android-only file. if you put android on your phone, place this file on the sd-card, then install using any number of third party app installers from the market

Like it!!

I just wanted an app like this to show that the phone is alive, so I just use the signal inticator, its nice just to glance over and know the phone is alive.

A question though, what's "nativ blinking"??

Is really nobody aware that Blinker has been posted in the NEXUS ONE forum :eek:


And to those with FCs:

Every developer needs your LOGCAT when their software crashes on your device otherwise your feedback is useless and very demotivating.

Please be more supportive in development so LOGCAT, LOGCAT, LOGCAT
and don't forget to mention what ROM you are using on your NEXUS ONE!

homepage sums up why non-nexus posts on here...
XDA forum member djbrutale has also developed an Android app to make use of the LED, this time on the Google Nexus One, although it’s possible that the app may also work for other Android devices.

not to mention the fact that the op is willing to help non-nexus owners...

It would be great if you send me the Logcat-> Exception... :)
