I can't get my led notification to work in any SC 2.X
I know that led control is supported by kernel.
I'm currently on SC 2.8, I tried all the led control app from the market but still a no-go.
Anyone found a way around this?
If by LED control, you mean Backlight Notifications, where the soft keys light up on certain events, then no. We don't have kernel sources so we can't build a kernel with BLN built-in to do so.
The Fascinate doesn't even have an LED (I WISH!!)

That's your problem.
We don't have the source code for this rom yet, so this no BLN or high fidelity audio fix from super curio...
misses my voodoo sound fix :-/

I tried all three kernels currently available for GB, none of them supports blinking LED. Then I tried to install BLN control and blinky, but unfortunately BLN control complaints about kernel not supported. Are the folks on GB out of luck for now?
TIA!

The Fascinate doesn't have a notification LED...unless you are referring to the camera LED..If you want that to flash, try a flashlight app or something similar, but I don't think there is a way to make the camera LED flash for notifications, although would be kinda a cool..
alright whatever you call them. I really mean the softkeys that can be used as notifications. Blinking can be done by using BLN control pro or blinky, as long as kernel is supported. However, BLN control does not seem to like any of the kernels GB has....

The BLN built into JT's kernel, nemesis2all's, and Tk-Glitch's isn't BLN its something else. That's why they work but can't be controlled by BLN or blinky. Tk-Glitch has a good write up on what he uses for his kernel and his plan to impliment BLN control. Check here.
I decided "hey, I should probably update my MIUI" so I wiped data / cache / dalvik a million times, and installed Ricks MIUI.
I have no LED notifications for texts or whatever it may be, however before I upgraded I did. I see that in the new menu there is no "Trackball" or "LED notification" in the system settings anymore. I downloaded BLN to enable it and still nothing.
I just want my led to light up when I have a text or whatever.
Thanks!
Sometimes upgrading turns out worse than before. What version did you upgrade from, and is Rick's version different than the official releases over at MIUI?
I have rick's 12.9 MIUI and I am using BLN Control Pro and it is working.

Hm, I've tried BLN control (free) and blinky from the market and had mixed results. Blinky worked well, and allowed more control over the notification, but seemed to have a battery drain issue. BLN control only worked for one notification and stopped working after that.. I'm assuming you're running the glitch kernel that Rick's MIUI comes with?
I'm using Glitch V13 with Ricks MIUI, so yes. Before I had a JT kernal from 11/09 or something like that which worked perfectly
I think it might be kernel related then, I think I remember seeing sixstringsg say that there were going to be some changes to BLN in the next glitch release that should fix things. I suppose if you really need it, use that jt kernel. Personally, I couldn't deal with the color and lack of ability to change it with voodoo control on that kernel.
Glitch13 has the BLN notification bug, and CM7.1 has the in-call volume bug. Pick your poison.
what is bln controll and whats its function??

BLN = backlight notification, I.E when you get a call, txt, whatever a blinking led light on the phone lights up to let you know. As the SGS2 doesn't have a dedicated led, hacks have been developed that enable the softkey lights to blink in order to achieve this.
True BLN needs to be supported at the kernel level (as opposed to various apps on Google Play which make an indicator on your screen blink), to the best of my knowledge only Siyah (and possibly some direct ripoffs of Siyah) support BLN at this stage. There is a wakelock associated with using BLN and you will suffer a degree of extra battery drain (apparently small) if you use it.

I think "NoLED" app from market does not require a supporting Kernel and its awesome,

I am currently running CM10.2 and I was wondering if anyone knew how to make the notifications lights at the bottom of the phone blink and possibly blink in different colors? Right now they just stay on.

Go on the play store and download Devil Kernel Manager. From there, i think you go the misc menu and scroll to the bottom. You should be able to find the BLN Blink setting. and cm10.2 comes with a modified Devil Kernel but it should work. don't use Devil Kernel Config, as that only supports 4.0.x and 4.1.x builds.
DKM unfortunately doesn't retain settings after a reboot so you're gonna have to go back and turn on the BLN blink after every reboot if you want it.

I downloaded the app and tried with the back light notification on and off, and with CM 10.2 notification light enabled and disabled, still only got a solid light that didn't blink. I am on stock kernel, is there a particular kernel that is known to work with blinking?

Devil Kernel is, but there aren't any 4.3 builds of it. Except the ones that are included with cm10.2
by the way, it might just be the fact that the 4.3 kernels aren't optimized to work with BLN Blink yet. give the devs some time, and remember the one rule of cyanogenmod: never ask for ETAs.
Hey guys,
I recently changed my i9100 SGS2 from stock firmware to CM11m7. I have to say, I am really impressed with the increase in speed and the new options it gives me. One of those options that I just found out about is BLN. Since the SGS2 has no notification led, and NoLED draws quite some battery, this seems like a nice feature.
Of course I figured out that BLN is not supported by the CM11 kernel. So I upgraded to the kernel from Gustavo_s (the newest build from 06/21). As of yet, I am not really sure though which software or settings I need to get BLN running! What I've done so far is that I installed STweaks. This recognizes that my kernel supports BLN. When I switch to the BLN tab in STweaks, I am able to configure BLN to my liking, and also the test works fine (Click on Test BLN, switch off screen with power button, touchkeys get illuminated).
However, I have not understood yet how I can make my applications put a notification to be shown by those leds. WhatsApp for example has a setting to show notifications with the led. But it doesn't show anything. Then, most of the stock apps seem to just have no such option, since notification led is no feature of SGS2 (but I thought that the BLN mod inside Gustavo_s' kernel would take care at least for the apps that have such setting).
So I thought that maybe the much used app BLN control might do the trick. Upon starting, this gives me the message that my current liblights does not support BLN. No idea what to do with this. If I can upgrade, if I need another kernel. Simply no idea. And the app's homepage doesn't give me any hint. Another thing I tried was Light Flow. Here I have two extra options in the LED setting, one being sec_touchkey and the other being touchkey panel. Activated both. Also activated root mode. No chance. Even the notification test in Light Flow doesn't light any of the two touchkey leds.
Has anyone any idea, what I need to do? Can I upgrade liblights? Is it a thing of the kernel? Any suggestions maybe for another kernel to use (Dorimanx maybe?).
Any help is much appreciated!

U can try Dori (the 10.Xx branch) along with 'Stweaks' and see

The post of Gustavo_s clearly say:
KNOWN PROBLEMS
- Stweaks is not working at the moment, and i can't work to fix it because of reasons above.
Still, however, there is a workaround
Install Gustavo_s Kernel's from 21/4 (search for it) + STweaks
Really, its my config.
Cheers
Im speak spanish, sorry.
Or use Gustavo_s Kernel's with synapse.
