Dear Nexus One Trackball,

You’re white. All the time. Not exclusive that, you don’t modify wink rattling often. You don’t verify me what’s feat on with you, and I’m losing interest. I intellection things would be different; I intellection you would be spirited and varied, selection to signal me directly of texts, emails, and inbound calls in a rainbow of colors. There’s so such to same most you, but this is rattling decent a problem.

…all right, kidding aside, let’s hit whatever news. The stylish articulate is, an upcoming OTA update for the N1 module permit users make the trackball LED, according to a Twitter communication from the developer of Missed Call, a favourite Android covering for notifications.

Additionally, the trackball supply is the ordinal most flagged component at Google’s Android cipher place for the Nexus One, and the top supply for the N1 trackball. Strangely, though, the colouration supply is ease scarred as “new,” message it hasn’t been appointed to be fixed, as of this writing. (You crapper ease alarum this issue–even if you don’t possess an N1–by mass the unification above.)

Fingers crossed, you’ll presently be healthy to modify the colouration and oftenness of seeable notifications. Until then, essay to secure in there with the colored blinking.
