Just found a bug in your excellent app.

If an app that is mapped to a LED is deleted, then there is no way to re-assign another app to that LED. You have to uninstall and reinstall Gemini LED.

Is this something you might fix?

Thanks for all your efforts!

I would also like an opportunity to "re-select" "none" for a led you have assigned an app to...

And it would be nice if you could have an opportunity to somehow select WHICH notifications you should light the led for from the app as well. I have a few apps that have a "permanent" notification, so adding it to GeminiLED is kind of pointless (and unless you are playing "Pointless" on BBC, that is usually not a good thing   ). That is probably asking too much, but like I wrote, it would be nice, at least for me...

Thanks Alastair. I had recently become aware of that bug.  Yes I will fix that at the next issue. You can 'clear data' rather than uninstall but still far from ideal!

Hi Gymbo.  Those are both on my to do list with the advance settings I am working on so you should be able to filter an individual apps notification by setting up a white or black list.  I will try to add an option to log notifications to help formulate those lists.

I have been on holiday for a few weeks and then had some family stuff to organise.  I will be getting back on developing shortly.

That would be really nice!

Would also like to be able to pay for the app (at least with those features), but preferably NOT with donations through PayPal or something similar. So If you would like to get some income from the app as well, I would be more than happy to buy the "same" version through the Play-store (at least for a few dollars/Euros). I of course know that you wont get all the money that way (and I certainly don't know how much hassle it is to set up an account you can get paid through either...), but I would gladly pay for it that way!

Does use of the LED lights cause a significant drain on the battery?

Especially when these lights can be on for several hours - eg in the middle of the night - before they are noticed.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

Short answer not noticeably.  I did some rudimentary testing before release where I lit all 5 LEDs all night (worst case scenario) and the battery drain was less than 1% an hour (fairly standard drain rate anyway) so I am confident that it does not have a significant impact on battery life.

Hope this helps

I actually would have LIKED if it drained the battery somewhat significantly! Because then it would be more useful as a torch... (And where is the lightbulb-smiley when you "need" it...  )

But preferably with a possibility to adjust the brightness, and hence the power-drain.

Yes, at least one high intensity LED would have been useful (life every other mobile phone) would have been useful.  I'm guessing the camera as an after though probably drove that but even without a camera a torch function is pretty much up the must have list these days

Been using this app for a while.
Planet should buy this app and put it in the standard ROM!!

Hi,

Latest version (2.4) published last night fixes the unistalled application issue and provides option to 'select none' via long click hold on application icon and selecting clear.  I have also added functionality for the keyboard LED to show one of your selected applications has an active notification and the ability to enable or disable cover and keyboard LEDs.

Next stage will be to provide ability to apply a white or black list to a given LED.

Thanks

Didn't this post until just now, but early in the morning, I saw I could update GeminiLED. Update went seamlessly and what a treat of a layout. Clear and a plethora of choices.

Thank you so much for this great work,
Jake
