[Q]How to make LED blink on GB? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Hi,is it possibile to control the light of touch button

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.

Led control in EBXX?

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 :-/

[Q] Rick's MIUI (1.12.9) and LED Notification

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.

[Q] Notification lght - Is it possible?

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.
U need to flash custom kernel.Ketut's cfroot kernel and my kernel support it. Its called bln

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.

BLN on SGS2 with Gustavo_s' kernel

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.
