Since we just got BLN back with the mesmerize source kernels, I was wondering how people's experiences were with the BLN app vs Blinky. I've seen a couple posts here and there about them but not really a lot of feedback.
I think you need blinky with free version of BLN to have the blinking function.
The paid version of BLN has that function so no need to install blinky with it.
I just use the free BLN control app. All I use it for is text messages, and I don't really need it to blink. If it is on, then I have a text.
BLN app worked fine. I didnt need blinky. I got the free version of BLN and it does what I need (It lights up when text comes in)
Any side effects using this app?

None. It has been proven that the battery drain is not noticeable. Like < 1%.
I use Blinky cause Pac-Man is pimp! Actually, it was the first one I tried and it works so I kept it!

Meh I was using it for a while but I noticed my backlight would stay on instead of blink like I wanted, so I disabled it.
thanks guys. i tried both separately and i couldn't get the blinking to work with blinky so i deleted both. BLN is still activated even when the apps are gone, just fyi or my phone is a little funky

I did cat on that file and it's enabled but whenever I get a text message no new blinks. Testing Bln control works but nothing else does, running kangbang, worked fine in evil fascinate.

Works but very badly.

I had a similar issue last week.
Although Blinky app worked fine, I prefer BLN so i decided to reflash my kernel (OTB) and it resolved the issue.

Reflash your kernel, then flash this in CWM. http://www.multiupload.com/TJOZM9FQ1X <From this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813389
I did what both of you said, and Bln is unreliable at best now but works.

I find that enabling LED notifications for apps kicks on bln, I'm currently having no issues
My friend just got an LG G2X and he had the same issue of NO LED notifications
He found an App called "Optimus 2x touch LED"
what it does is when you have an email or sms it flashes your "soft-keys" Back lights on your phone.
Unfortunately it does not work on our phone
i would love to see this maybe built into a rom if possible or a similar app from the market.

BLN control, Blinky, or No Led from the market
You just need a kernel that supports BLN. All the custom ones do

Blinky works great once it enabled the BLN!
SO THANK YOU!
It looks like the LED notification doesn't work with the NoLED app.
When NoLED is turned on and you get a new notification, it seems like the phone screen is on to flash that notification. Thus, the phone LED indicator doesn't work because it only works when the screen is off.
That's too bad because I'd love to have both notifications instead of having to choose one or the other.
Can anyone else confirm this is the case with their phone too?
FYI, not that it matters but I'm on the TMo SGS3.
Thanks.
Isn't noled used on phones WITHOUT led notifications?

my exact thoughts... I remember it being developed for the G2 if my memory serves me right... which is questionable right now.

Yes of course, but I'm thinking OP just thinks it'd be more convenient if both worked so you didn't miss any important texts/emails. On another note, if this did work it would dramatically decrease your battery life because the NOLED already holds a wakelock and stops the phone from deep sleeping.
Hello everyone,
Okey when I had my Nexus and used the Lightflow app, and a certain notification popped up in the notification bar (that notification was setup in Lightflow with a blinking LED) with screen on it would also blink.
On my note2, if my screen is on and I get that notification, it doesn't blink. I have no idea why.
Anybody familiar with Lightflow? Any ideas how I can make Lightflow blink with screen on?
Sent from my AK-55
Have you checked out Lightflows settings to make sure that you have that checked? Also that may only be a option in the paid version of Lightflow. Im not very familiar with it but it should under settings I would think.
Edit:
Just treated it for myself and it works perfectly on the free version. Click on the app in you app drawer, click settings, enable root mode, enable Samsung mode, then set your apps up.
I tested it on a low battery and it wouldn't quit flashing or give me a notification to turn it off like it does with email and other apps so I had to set it to go off after one minute for the low battery warning. I think the only reason it didn't have a pop ip was because the battery was already at 9%. The light stayed on the entire time the screen was on also.

No problem, its a bit annoying when it wouldnt show the notification for the battery so you may have that problem in the future or it may just be cause I tested it with a low battery.

Just flashed the Badseed Tranquil ROM last night and noticed today that when I'm in landscape there is an empty space on the right of the keyboard. I can see through to the app behind the keyboard. Is that supposed to be like that or is there a way to fix it? Also I'm getting some reasonable lag while I'm using the keyboard that I didn't get before. Any help would be great.

It's really odd. Tried dirty flashing back over and that didn't help either.

I flashed using twrp and came from Hatka Supreme if that helps at all. I'm also having problems in the extended settings with the kernel options. Won't let me set tweaks on boot. Dunno if that's a Rom issue or kernel issue though. I'm running cubed but might switch back to beast. Thought cubed would help cuz since I installed roms my car charger won't charge the phone. Gives me the notification error message.

Try a clean flash. Dirty flashes are going to cause issues.

When I got hone from work I wiped everything and flashed from the beginning. Then the keyboard worked, then I put all my apps back on, went to send a txt and therer it was again. So I went into every app that I could use the keyboard on and discovered the empty space is only there in certain apps. My stock messaging and stock browser are fine but gosms and xda and chrome have the empty space by the keyboard. Really disappointing cuz I absolutely love the Rom otherwise. Blue is my favorite color and especially that color blue lol. My case and even my car is that shade blue hahaha. See if that problem happens with anyone else and if it ends up getting fixed in an update I will surely be switching back!

This is a Kernel issue , I suggest BeastMode 5.9 , and you set the options you want in aroma . If you want to change things on the fly feel free to try another kernel , CP's kernel for example .

That is so confusing. Maybe I was wrong and chrome wasn't one. I was trying to remember from last night lol. I know gosms definitely was one though cuz I send so many txts. Give it a try and if it doesn't do it for you then maybe it's an app that I installed that's making it do that. I also have lmt pie installed and that works from that side of the screen so it could possibly be that.

Ok I see what you are talking about , I tested on newts Rom and joelz rom and it seems to be a go sms issue as it does it on them too .

Damn gosms! That's giving me issues with the floating notifications app too. Guess I might have to switch. I just hate the stock app so much and I dunno if any others out there have the privacy box with gesture lock like go has. Hmm will have to do some digging. Also do you know if the problem I'm having with my car charger saying it's unsupported on my phone is a kernel issue or Rom issue?

Ok thank you so much for the help! Once I find a txt messaging app that will function the way I want it to and work with the Rom I will definitely be switching back. Any plans for put PA's Halo on your Rom in the future? That would be awesome. Just saying lol
