All,
I stumbled across this thread just now and it hit me that I might be able to do some of the things that are discussed in here (if anyone is still interested...). Apologies for necro-posting .
I'm the author of BattMonX (free in the Market, btw) that I originally wrote for the Droid X since the LED indicator does not turn on when the battery is being charged like my HTC Droid Eris does/did.
I've subsequently learned that my app works on the original Droid and the Droid 2 Global (haven't heard directly about the Droid 2, but I suspect it'll work just fine on it too). [I've also heard from a lot of folks that want my app to work on their phones that don't even have an LED indicator, lol ].
Anyway, I'm about to release a newer (1.8) version that has quite a few new features from the 1.7 version. Most notably, if you have a rooted phone, I can turn the LED on when the screen is on. I've also include an LED color tester that you can play with. I hope to publish the updated 1.8 version yet today.
I've done a ton of testing and research with the battery state files and the LED notification API and manipulation of the LED notification brightness files while developing this app.
Anyway, if you are still interested in new/other features or ways that I could alter / upgrade / re-purpose or re-write my app, let me know in this thread or shoot me an email at scary.alien@gmail.com, I'd be happy to hear from you.
Cheers!
