What if I'm not using promises?

[dland512]

Can this be implemented without promises? Sometimes I have long running client side code that doesn't involve $http or other promise-based calls. Can I still show the spinner (without creating and resolving my own promise objects)?

Yes, the ability to accept a boolean value, would be cool.

We have async promises via an event bus that are null until they fire. This causes all kinds of headaches with tracker.isPromise.

Did this ever got implemented?
