Hey guys I just converted to CM7 and I'm having a bit of trouble with BLN.
I know I don't have to use the control app in the market, but how do
I change settings for the BLN within CM7?
Also is there a way to keep the backlight on all the time?
I used to use "Keep the lights on" app in the market, but it doesn't work on CM7.

I am currently running the OTB kernel for CM7 and I know it has been said that BLN is built into the kernel and there is no control of it. The next kernel will (dont quote me) have it taken out. I would assume so the app can be used in place of it.
I have looked all over and have yet to find a setting for it but mine works.... just no way to turn it off or have it time out.

Hello,everyone, is it possibile to control the light of the four touch button on vibrant? It's greate if we can control the on and off of the lights.
I saw tat leds hack app works on many android phones, but it does not work on vibrat. After take a look, I found "leds hack" modify the settings of leds/lcds to control the lights of touch button. But for vibrant, I don't know how to deal with.
The second question is that
Which branch of android is the one samsung using in their open sourced vibrant 2.2 rom? there is so many release of android 2.2 from google, and in the source code, ansung gave no information about their android branch.
is it just android 2.2 release1?
You need BLN. Some kernals support BLN (backlight notification) and they are the newest ones in the developement section.
And for the second question. 2.2 is froyo.

Thanks. I know froyo is 2.2, but in order to compile the samsung's sources, you must download other parts of code from android. For 2.2,froyo, there sare several releases,such as 2.2r1,2.2r1.2 and so on,these are 2.2,but different release, so I don't know which release they are extractly using.
BTW:now, which kernel support BLN? so I can flash room and write an apk to try to control the backlight of touch button(this means the button on the bottom of vibrant, not screen)
krylon360 is probably the one you want to ask that. He is the main Samsung leak specialist. Although there are a few others, I just think he was the original man to see. Maybe send him a pm.
There is an app already called BLN control in the market.
These support BLN and are probably the best. Just visit these threads and they tell you all about them.

BLN is not working, after take a look at his code, I found that bln only supports "turn lights on", no any supports about "turn lights off"
Depending on what you want the LEDs to do, BLN might not help you as it simply uses the LED touch keys to notify you of calls/messages and such. What exactly do you want to change?

I want to turn the leds off at night(it's too dazzling at night)
download noLED from market and disable soft buttons . noLED is a cool app that dispalys tinny red or green or yellow box depending what u r reciving ect calls .mms .email , once u put your phone to sleep istead of soft buttons lighting up u will have a tiny easy to spot box on your screen bouncing arrround letting you know u got something going on .
as for shuting soft light at all i have no idea and would love to know my self.
im 90% sure soft light are controlled by kernel maybe talk to one of the devs to cook a kernel that shuts off back light on soft keys
Yes, after take a look at the code, I found this need to modify the kernel. So the best way is some kernel developers do this as their kernels have lots of new features. If we modified the kernel source from sansung and build it ourselves, we will lose these features.
I use gv to text at work on the website and so my phone its just sitting there with the bln lights on consuming battery. How do you stop it?

Two things:
1) If you are using CM7, it is not possible to turn off BLN as of now, sorry.
2) The BLN lights consume very, very VERY little battery. As in, lets say you got a message as soon as you unplugged your phone and they stayed lit for the whole day - they would use less than 1% of the battery. So don't worry about BLN, it's not as bad as you may think.

That statement isn't totally accurate. I am on CM7 and didn't want BLN functioning. To keep them from coming on, you can change your profile settings.
Go into Settings -> Profiles and select the profile you want to change (if you don't use them, just select Default). At the bottom of this next menu, you'll see a section called Application Groups. For every item in this list, you can select it, and then turn Lights Mode to Off. This will stop BLN from lighting up the buttons.
You can call this disabling BLN, or a workaround, or whatever, but it's worked for me.

Nice, this must be a recent change... I remember there was a whole controversy over it about a week or two ago, and the profiles didn't work at the time. Thanks!
Oh yeah, I should have mentioned I'm running the 7/17 CM7. I didn't use any of the previous versions, so I can't comment as to their functionality.
I hated bln at first, but its really grown on me and now I wouldn't consider a rom without it. And agree with the first reply, basically no battery consumption.

Honestly, I think the problem is with another app running in the background while your screen is off, thus preventing your phone from sleeping. I would recommend the "active apps" app from the market and seeing what you have active at the time.
Another note: if your bln remains on while your screen is off, try opening the notification drawer and clearing your notifications. That works for me (of course, I actually click on the relevant notice usually which also deactivates the bln until the next notice comes in)
Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
Is there any way to adjust the time frame before the bottom leds go out? I find they go out too fast...
This annoys me as well. Anyone?
I think its under settings, profile, then u can change for each individual profile

How about with glitch kernel v13? The device options are greyed out.

CM7 stock uses a different bln module. So if you flashed glitch (which uses nelders bln module) you break the cm7 bln options. On another note though "pool party" has key timeout setting integrated within tsm parts.
good day.
(i haven't looked deep enough, or found any leads)
i have been wondering, since the majority of Samsung phones lack a notification light, would it be possible to or get an app to make the menu/back button to light up when a notification has been received/(while the screen is off of course) to make up for this loss?
if there is an app/mod for this please lead me too it

Yes, it's called BLN, or Back Light Notifications. It's been around for a long time, actually.
To use it, flash a kernel that supports BLN. Most custom ROMs here have said kernels. Or if you don't want to flash custom ROM, just flash the kernel.
Then, download the BLN app from the market, and enable it from there.

Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass for the moment.
I'm just wondering whether it possible to somehow get the power button to pulse or another light on the front of the phone to pulse when you miss a call or text? Doesn't seem to be an app which exists (yet).
Is something I miss from my Nexus One!
Cheers.

Flash CF-Root kernel(latest is BlackHawk) or Z-Image kernel from the development section.. Then download BLN Control Free app from the market to get the lights flashing... You can also buy the BLN Control Pro app if u want..
P.S:- BLN stands for Back Light Notification..

Button-light actually
Awesome, thanks guys. I've done this and after some fiddling I've got it semi working... I'm however have trouble with the notification in regard to text messages. Any ideas why it's not working for text messages? I've tried both using the stock app and GO SMS Pro.
Missed phone calls are fine and it works perfect. I'm running stock 2.6.6.
EDIT: Solved it... someone in another thread suggested checking the screen on setting. I turned it off and it worked.
