@agx worked on making #feedbackd a bit more useful and convenient. Some of this landed already and is targeting the next #phosh release
while others might take a bit longer (as they e.g. depend on a calls bug fix release). A short
Initially #feedbackd supported a set of color names (that matched the LED color) as multicolor LED support was still in the makings in the kernel. With the next release you can use arbitrary RGB colors (#RRGGBB). On single color
leds we still fall back to that color.
In some situations using the camera flash instead of the status LED can be useful (e.g. if you prefer to put your phone with the display side down on the table). A new setting allows to prefer the flash led (giving us room to expand this to e.g. basing this on other factors like device orientation later on):
…and it helps on devices that don't have a status LED at all (in these case we can even tweak the device specific theme for that (e.g. to reduce the flash brightness):
Finally we now end the emitted feedback when switching the profile level. We can use this in #phosh to put the device into silent mode when pressing Vol- on
incoming calls when the phone is locked (turn on audio for this one):
