Anyone can explian to me how to remove the BLN on Miui Revamped 7 because it sticks and kills my battery?
It doesn't kill your battery...
The Guy who originally developed bln said *at most* it uses another 1-2% for the charge cycle.
but, you must enable quiet hours for all hours, plus check the dim led box under the quiet hours setting. And no, there isn't a way around this way to disable it.

Flash a kernel that doesn't have bln enabled, I know glitch and neo both have bln enabled .... maybe even try the stock miui rom

what do you guys use, whats more "battery friendly?"
I've used NoLED since last august, never had any battery issues. Love the idea that I can look at my phone and see gmail, gtalk, or gosms app icon on the screen if I have new messages.

I prefer bln because noled does eat more battery life because its still turning the screen on, hence: why you have to hit the home key instead of the power key to read your message. Bln is led light only. Downside is you don't know what type of message it is with bln.

Try them both and see which one you like. Neither uses much battery at all. I like no led so I can tell what messages it is.
No LED could cause screen burn in though.

I use BLN. Once you have BLN you can just go into each app that supports led notification and modify the settings there and instead of using the default bln setting you set in the bln app your phone will use those settings instead. So you can change the BLN frequency to help you distinguish between the different types of messages.

How? It doesn't stay in one place. I have never heard of any screen burn in by noled from anyone.
It could really only cause burn in if you don't have it set to move the icons every few seconds.
I prefer BLN just because its brighter, and the unlocking procedure doesn't change.
If he figures out individual light blinks, it will be even better.
I've used both, and haven't seen any excessive battery drain on either. However, both come with apps that let you configure the settings, so YMMV.
As we all know, the sgs2 doesn't have notification leds. However, we do have leds under the menu and back buttons. I was wondering if anyone knows of any app that takes advantage of this. I want to use the menu and back button led as a notification led. Periodically flashing would be extremely helpful. I know there is NoLed on the market but that isn't the most elegant solution. Perhaps even using camera flash on minimum minimum brightness could be doable.
You need BLN for that. (Back Light Notification)
1- You have to flash BLN compatible kernel for that. For example- Ninphetamine.
2- You need to have liblights.zip installed. You can find it from Jame Bond thread.
3- You need to install BLN Control Pro for that, free version wont work for Missed calls and stock SMS/MMS app.
4- If you want notification for stock SMS/MMS app then you have to install 'Light Flow Lite' from market.
I was recently using it with that kernel, but I don't like that kernel at all.
Besides flashing too many things for just a simple light notification is very kiddish. Got rid of BLN and back to CF. No intention of getting it unless it start supports all kernels.
Regards.
Im running the villainROM 2.4.2 with ninphetamine kernal and XXKG6 installed.downloading the BLN app from the market you get that.

Has anyone noticed the red light that appears at the top of the phone next to the front camera and sensor? I've only really noticed it once the phone has been fully charged.
Perhaps this could be used to indicate a notification, assuming there isn't an app that already uses this light?
Lol, thats the Proximity sensor taking effect dude.

Well whatever it is, could it not be used as a notification indicator if it hasn't already been?
Sent from my GT-I9100
No sir, it can only be used in a call when you put your phone near your face/ear it helps to turn off the screen.
Regards.
Wait, so that really is an led light?! I've never seen it go off, it would be sweet to have a red notification led, just like my old Blackberry... BLN works okay for now, though is is NOWHERE as bright as the led on the blackberries.
I started using NoLED, coming from a Desire I was a bit disappointed. I like NoLED but I'm concerned about the impact it has on battery even though I have mine set to 1% brightness and I rather have the standard icons on screen rather than the custom icons to be honest.

Wooaaa.....
why such hassle?
i thought android suppose to be the smarted OS. :-(
back when i was using symbian, light signal plus, a simple app can make softhey LED lit up.
i was hoping theres a widget or app in android that can do the same thing.
rooting or flashing for such small function seems overkill. :-(

Android is the smartest OS but it isn't the simplest one. And as an user, not a dev, I don't like that too.
I also remember about Light Signal Plus when I had 5800XM.

Hi everyone, I was suffering from the no led notification in my lovely SG2, till I found this great application that solved my issues for:
1- Charging notification
2-Missing calls and messages notification
3- Clock on the screen while the screen is off
The application is called NoLED it is free from the market. Play around and you will find many options.
NoLED is a bad notification option IMO. Using Screen for notification is a bad idea. Why don't you try BLN instead?
While NoLED is good, it eats a lot of battery.

There is Vibration Notifier too, that can vibrate and/or beep when you have missing calls, unread sms, etc.
I was about to test NoLed, but as many people says it uses too much battery, I decided to use Vibration Notifier. It is working fine, let's see how it goes with battery.
PS: It doesnt need modified kernel.

BLN = back light notification.
it utilizes the backlight of the touch buttons to notify you!
for that, you need a BLN capable rom and kernel, just look into the rom section
and search for BLN!
NOLED is indeed a bad idea, because even if you use just a few pixels, the whole screen has to be "on", which is visible in total darkness as a barely visible grey color over the whole screen --> bad for your battery...
BLN needs rooting

BLN needs rooting for the phone which I'm not into it now. Regarding battery consumption, if you have an access for charging in the house and office i.e for about 18 hours per day then what is the problem for charging?
I was wondering how these worked, right now I have it enabled. Whenever I miss a call the bottom buttons on the bottom light up (menu, home, back...) and they do not go away until I clear the missed call notification. I was wondering if this is the way it is supposed to work? all there is to it? are there any settings where I can make them blink? I was thinking it would be more like the app noLED.
I'm sorry if this is a N00b question with an obvious answer, I have searched but can't find the answer.
thanks for any/all replies!
That's referred to as BLN (BackLight Notification). Its supposed to light up for missed calls, texts, emails, or any other notification. Its suppoed to state lit up til you clear it. What you are describing is expected behavior. There is an app in the market called BLN something, to manage it, built for the Captivate. There is also an app called blinky that worked on the captivate to make them blink.
In theory it should work better than NoLED, it should take less battery and processor. It hasn't been implemented in the stock based ROMs (for the S II) because it causes the phone to not enter deep sleep mode (as does noLED). It must be new to CM7. Hopefully if it doesn't cause a wake lock in CM7 it can be ported back to stock based ROMs. This is the last feature I was looking for in the custom ROMs for this phone.

Yes what he said above except Blinky and BLN APP will not work for cm7 on the SGS2. Cm7 has its own setting to control it. You can disable them if you don't want to use led notifications from with the settings or CyanogenMOD settings.
Yes it creates a wakelock until you clear the message, missed call, etc. Then the wakelock goes away. Also there is a timeout for the led notification that can be controlled also.

I really like Kang but there's no option to turn off the softkeys if I'm not mistaken. In CM9/CM10 there's an option to turn it off completely and an option for BLN control etc. Is there a replacement? I don't want to run screen filter 24/7 because the notification bugs me
To my knowledge, the only roms capable of this, are the stock based roms ...
UCLA1, UCLF2, UCLF5 etc.
I haven't seen any work around , but there may be a BLN work around app I'm not aware of.
Sorry I couldn't find more info ....g
In cm 10 as far as i know Settings. Advanced. Sensors uncheck both boxes as shown below.
