[ROOT][APP] Logo+ - OSS Implementation of Lighting Effects for Razer Phone 2

[CurtisMJ]

New version v1.0.5 released!
Most notable addition is the phone ring animation.

I'd say it would be about the same battery life wise. Both take advantage of the programmable nature of the LED controller, which allows it to run the animations without interrupting the main processor at all. So if you have an animation running even when the screen is off, the phone can go into full on doze and the animation will still run. The only cost is the electricity required to light up the LEDs (and run the microcode on the chip, but that's negligible). It was pretty clever of Razer to use a programmable controller

That's awesome man. I never really used the Chroma app due to some (not complete review sites) stating that it would cost around 15% of battery life if enabled. How they would even know that is beyond me. It's good to hear that it is indeed power efficient. I'm going to keep it on here on out due to your analysis.

Even though it doesn't really use a lot of juice, do you think there is a way for pocket detection so that it could be shut off during that time?

Pocket detection is an interesting idea. In my experience that usually requires kernel help, otherwise the app will have to keep a wakelock so that it can poll the proximity sensor. Perhaps it can only watch for it for a couple seconds after the screen is turned off. Hmm.. I'll consider it.

fixed!

Just to check, have you guys disabled the stock Chroma app?

Yes I just did that and now the issue is fixed! Thanks.

Non Root??

Yoo, I'd so love to customize my logo a lot more but it's root only..

Do you have the chance to make a non-root version?
I honestly don't want to root my phone :/

 

[kevinrick09]

Love the App

It keeps flagging my post I am trying to post on here but it flags me each time. Is there an email we can shoot a message to in order to contact yourself?

XDA does have PMs

I did cover this a bit earlier in the thread. But to summarize:

Rootless is possible, but requires the app to be a system app
The only way to make it a system app is with root
Thus, you might as well use it in root mode.

The code is already done for it and I may enable it in future versions but there's no point really. Sorry.

New version v1.0.6 released! Now has pocket mode!

Awesome man! I can't wait to try it!

Hey OP! brilliant work you're doing here with the chroma logo on the device I can't try it out due to not being rooted but is there a possibility of a video preview/run through of the app that I could pass on to other members?

Sure I can probably record a video. Was gonna wait till I get music visualisation working but can maybe do like a run through thing.

If you want to wait then by all means, there's no rush

v1.0.7 is released!
Tasker integration has been added, and, not to be outdone, a new passive effect similar to Razer's "Wave" effect (except you can't choose the direction for the moment being )

Edit: forgot to mention, I've also attached a demo video to post #2

 

[radionotme]

This looks amazing! Only issue is the need for root access, any chance of a non-root version?

 

[radionotme]

Sorry, read the rest of the thread now, including the response on root.

 

[Rox598]

Thank you for the video!

I'm gonna pop it into my next feedback to Razer and hope they notice

Nice work! Unlocking my phone now...

Very cool app CutrisMJ. It has a lot of potential. Thread bookmarked.

Curious. Have you thought about having the Razer logo pulsate when charging? Or setup a threshold for color and battery percent? Example red colored logo would be between 0 and 50%. Yellow color would be between 51 and 75% and 76 to 100% is green. Just some ideas. Keep up the great work!

Good idea
