[Task] Make Stock Samsung Apps BLN Compatible - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Right so now that most SGS2 kernels are using BLN, and that most users want it, it would make sense to enable stock samsung apps to utilise this feature.
SMS
Phone
Now they obviously do not call any lights as Samsung were aware that there was no LED on this phone.
This would need to be hacked probably at the smali level. Does anyone want to give it a go?
Pulser of TeamVillain said he will look into it at some point, but he is rather busy at the moment so I thought I would open up the idea to everyone.
Edit: Ok so apparently phone works, it is just SMS that needs modifying.

SMS and phone are working for me, SMS with stock/go sms and phone with BLN pro so what' s the problem?

Samsung stock sms app and stock phone app do not generate any call for lights therefore BLN does not flash when you get an sms or missed call.
if you use a third party sms app then that will work, but not the stock apps.

Really, your probably the only one to have it working with stock sms app unless there was an update that im not aware.

Agree, stock SMS doesn't
But phone does blink.

Yes, Phone apk is triggering. Only SMS is not working, but I also like to see modified SMS APK because 3rd party SMS APK do not fit to the design of the Samsung Software. (only my 2 centz)

If you use the tasker app, you can set up notifications of the bln for any notification.
I have set it up for gReader, K-9 mail and a recieved text

In General? Well if it doesn't work for Missed Call notification or SMS then where would it work? I am getting confused here!

android has far more notifications than just missed calls and sms.... most apps generate some form of notification (twitter...email..gmail..g+...facebook etc etc)
they all work in the free version except for Missed calls.
currently Stock Samsung Messaging app does not work at all! but we are trying to fix this.

To obtain led notification for a samsung app you need to do the following:
Locate the place where the notification is instantiated and add the necessary flags to the notification. And secondly you need to locate the place where the screen is turned on, either a full or dimmed wakelock (bad implementation) or a call to setKeepScreenOn() or some parameter in WindowManager.LayoutParams is set.

In the meantime while we wait for TeamVillain to modify the stock messaging app, you can make use of Tasker in combination of BLN pro to activate blinking lights when SMS is received. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203005
I would suggest you read what is posted by the OP and do the profiles manually.
PS. this recommendation is for people who knows what is Tasker, BLN Pro and more importantly, liblights.so.

THIS IS THE CURRENT SITUATION WITH BLN AS OF 2011-08-05:
You need a modified liblights. If you don't know what this is, start using the search function. If you still can't find it after using the search function, you're too stupid to even be attempting any of this, stop immediately or find a custom ROM that provides a modified liblights.
You need a modified kernel.
You need the BLN control application. To get blinking lights or notifications from missed calls in the stock phone app, you need the Pro version.
As mentioned IN THE ORIGINAL POST, the stock SMS app does not trigger BLN by default so you need a third party SMS app such as Handcent, or an app such as Tasker to set it up.
The following will be gibberish designed to make this post show up in most (logical) forum searches for how to get BLN working on the SGS2.
Expected search terms:
I am a giant moron who just cannot figure out how to get BLN working on my SGS2 Samsung Galaxy S II 9100 GT-I9100 BLN kernel how do I make BLN work what is liblights ahh life is so unfair expecting me to figure things out for myself my mummy told me I was a special snowflake that can do anything I set my precious little mind to I am her special soldier and life should just provide everything I want on a plate. BLN. BLN kernel. BLN liblights. BLN SMS. BLN. BLN. BLN.

ithehappy said:
I can't stop laughing. I'd like to know your age anyway . Course I know who you are.
Anyway, as an user I can confirm that BLN DOES NOT work with normal procedure, by that I mean, Flashing a BLN compatible kernel, Flashing Liblights.zip and Enable BLN, it will not work for Missed call, the max you can get is to have the notification under Test Section by pressing Power key.
Now I don't know what is modified kernel, modified liblights and blah blah and I don't wanna know, for a simple user like me, it didn't work, it's as simple as that.
Are we really living in a so smart world? I bet not.

Perhaps you missed the plethora of posts that point out that the missed call notification only works with the Pro version or from setting up Tasker. Which is quite amazing since ONE OF THE POSTS INFORMING YOU OF THIS FACT IS THE ONE YOU REPLIED TO.
However, you go right ahead consoling yourself with your assumption that the rest of the world is as bereft of common sense as you are. This is known as making excuses for your own inadequacies and expecting everyone else to come down to your level because you're a self centred moron with a clear and present over inflated sense of self entitlement.
If you don't want to know what a modified kernel and liblights is then may I politely ask, what in the bright luminous blue **** are you doing here on xda-DEVELOPERS? This isn't xda-holdthehandsofmorons nor is it xda-spoonfeedeveryilliteraterejectonearth. It's a site for people to develop for smartphones as part of a development community and for people to learn. As you've just confessed you have no interest in any of this can I point you in the direction of your nearest iphone supplier and give up your Android using spot to someone with an IQ greater than the number of digits on my hands? Thanks.
Oh, incidentally, this thread isn't a HLAP HOW AM MAKE BLN WERK WITH THANGS ON MAI POHNE", it's supposed to be a development discussion about modifying the stock Samsung apps so they work properly. Hence it's in the development section. Any more of this stupid off topic requests for spoon feeding and I'm going to start Reporting every post that isn't anything to do with the topic.

Hey all,
I have cleaned the thread from all the banter back and forth, which ended up de-railing this topic completely. I only left a few posts standing as they both relate to the discussion and address all the questions that were asked before the "cleaning"
Now, back on topic.

[Q] Call recording on ICS

Has anyone got two way voice recording working on any of the ICS releases, whether a MOD or a 3rd Party app?
I tried a couple (killer mobile and call recorder) but no luck.
same here. call recorder always worked 100%
Anyone? Still can't find one that will work....aaarrrggg.
I would like to know too. I heard Samsung has removed the necessary call recording libraries in ICS. Hope that is not true.
afaik it will work soon, becuase the ics kernel sources are published today. that will grant many developers to fix everything which cant be fixed before. afaik the call recording problem inlcuded!
Looking forward to this. I loved that on GB. There is a tutorial @ "Original Android Development" category (for GB), maybe someone can start from there to make it work on ICS?
-Aeth.

Before I use CallRecorder but now it does not work ok
me too. that was very useful as it recorded automatically
I can confirm, call recorders does not work on ICS.
I tried almost all available from the market, but no success.
I need it too
Sent from my GT-I9100
This seems to be an useful thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1482721 - this actually points to a easy way of getting call recording functionality back!
Here's my understanding from the thread. Basically there are three files in /system/lib that are used for call recording API -
libaudioflinger.so
libaudio.so
libaudiopolicy.so
(It's interesting to note that out of these, only the first is there in ICS.)
If we copy the files from 2.3.6, and replace/add the files, there's a good chance that we will get back call recording. Now to get these files... does anybody have the older version, or know how to extract these files from the ROMs?
SOLVED XD - Need to know if it's reliable
Hi,
I have tried "Auto Call Recorder" (free) and seems to work ok.
Without any patchs or modifications on the rom it works ok recording from mic (depending on you it could be wnought or not).
QUESTION 1:
Someone could tell us if this program is realiable? (I mean, if we can trust in it).
Because it have several permissions that I'm not sure it should have or if it's neccesary.
It has 100.000 - 500.000 installations and 4 star score
How can we be sure if this program is not spying us?
RECORDING WITH API (not mic)
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551353 I have found a thread where there are two ICS libs (different from the GB ones) that sould fix the problem and should allow to record from API, so we could get clear and loud sound.
Files are audio.primary.exynos4.so & audio_policy.exynos4.so in /system/lib/hw
Files can be downloaded from http://www.mediafire.com/?r2wgv821w1uutzd or from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=955906&d=1332235902 (both are binary same)
QUESTION 2:
Again reliability.
Someone could tell us if this libs are realiable? (I mean, if we can trust in it).
I have downloaded "ZSLPE" that is supposed to have call recording and this libs are the same that the original in XXLPQ, and are different of the downloable ones that I say before (supposely patched).
If ZSLPE have call recording, why libs are the same that XXLPQ?
Where are this "patched" libs from?
Again the same question, are this "patched" libs reliable?
Perhaps I could be some paranoid, but I don't want a spy on my phone or something worse, and I want to be sure that all my phone conversations (or any other personal data) are not sent to anyone.
Probably is stupid to think that anyone could be interested in my bored conversations, but those are mine...
Greetings
^ Thanks given
For security concern, you may want to try out LBE Privacy Guard... I use it. It can help you to deny certain permissions for any program which you think has no business asking for the permission.
You may question that program more though, as it asks for a lot more permissions in return for the power!
Personally, I would trust the libraries and the auto call recorder - the permissions it asks seem legit. I checked the hack works with Total Recall too, so if you feel more comfortable you could use that.

Could you explain what you mean by this I not sure I understand.
Thanks to everyone who has been responding it looks like we might not be too far away from call recording on ICS. WooHoo!

I installed the two .so files mentioned in this thread into /system/lib/hw -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551353&page=2
After a while this worked for me, for both Total Recall and Auto Call Recorder. I have DXLP7 with CFRoot LP7 kernel.
Alternatively, according to the same thread, in ZSLPE call recording works from start.
Let me know if that helps, or I can answer any other questions to get it working for you.

in phone settings - extend settings, you can set it automatic for incomming and outgoing calls. works like a charm here and records both sides (i'm using resurrection rom 1.0 too)

Dailer & Contacts on ICS 4.0.3 issue

Search is disabled, google didn't help, but you just might ...
I got a new SGSII through an unwanted upgrade, have stock rooted ICS 4.0.3 and found that keypad, logs, favourites are under one app 'Phone', and groups, contacts and favourites under another 'Contacts'.
An old SGSII running an older version of Litening rom my friends has, got the keypad, logs, contacts, favourites and groups all in one place.
I can't seem to change this/merge them, were the merged dailer/contacts part of the previous rom? Previous touch wiz version? Or am I being dumb and not finding the setting to have them in the same screen?
Thanks for any pointers/mocking/gtfo's etc in advance

Mate, your sarcasm meter is faulty, send it off for repairs, and while your at it get treatment for those saddle sores.
And you want to raise the question know how hard/tiring one more click per use is, and you are who exactly? how heroically pedantic. Do I tell you how the way you do things are wrong?
After you have used it in a car dock extensively, I'll think you might have half an idea of the implications, until then you obviously don't get what the difference is and just want to jump on the comment about an extra few taps, bravo

God god man, you are thicker than a 2x4 mate. :/
can't you just push the GB phone.apk into sys?
You could always install a 3rd party app like Go Contacts which comes with a dialer and have it all intergrated once again.

Thanks Aikje and Bored Stupid, proper contributions and advice
To be honest, I already had ExDialer and Contacts by the time the good Sun90 let me know it's the lay of the land with ICS. Have had a quick look at others too.
With A N Other dialers I've tried so far, you have to tap a different end of the phone, which still takes your attention away for half a second, which when crossing the A406 to get to the A1 isn't really the one, actually, anywhere in central London to be fair.
It's purely for this reason, it's the 'no look' control on the old dialer I'm after again, as I'm on the blower a lot, so am obviously evaluating other options as there could be better out there, I've only just updated to ICS so contrary to a certain peevish belief, I asked a question on a q&a forum to point me in the right direction, as the better members here of XDA know how to *cough* soap box *cough* hahahaa
Regarding the pushing of the Phone.apk, was going to be trying that tonight after backing up, it came from a custom rom and my knowledge of these things is a bit dry, so will find out if it plays nice later.
Again, thanks for the info guys
Good luck, I thought the "Black infinitum" rom(or something like that) had the combined dialer&contacts, and that is 4.0.3...
I'll try it this afternoon and give some feedback okay?
EDIT: doesn't work...

About Omega v1.1 AOKP Build-39 ROM

Hi friends..
This is about Omega v1.1 AOKP Build-39 ROM..
As soon as I flashed this ROM, I fall in love with this.. It's amazing.. Too bad it won't get updated any more..
Now here are few questions if someone kindly answer them..
1. I have to go back to Stock ROM since Camera is one of my priorities and in this ROM it's not working.. but I like the inbuilt messaging app which has an option to set not to display sender name and message content on notification area whereas no such settings available in stock messaging app.. What's this app, can I install it separately..
2. In stock Messaging app, if you enable Delivery report, you get notification as you receive a new message unlike Symbian where a normal pop up appeared, is there any kind of possibility in Android too.. not a sound for delivery notification..
3. Also can someone guide me for such more ROMs like this where such mods already implemented and such nice UI.., if possible with same messaging app.
Thanks ..
Whats wrong with asking in the correct place the roms very own thread as per XDA rules ???
3. Also can someone guide me for such more ROMs

[Q] Custom Vibration Patterns

I posted this in Android Q&A and it quickly got lost... so hopefully someone here will know. I asked in Beans' thread as well because that's the ROM I'm using.
Searched google/XDA extensively. Does anyone know the milliseconds used in Android's heartbeat vibration for calls? I want to mimic it for text messages in the AOSP messaging app.
This is what I have so far:
0,225,300,225,1000,225,300,225
It doesn't feel quite right but it's hard to adjust please help if you can! thanks in advance.
I got a vibration tester now but I still can't get it right.

Canned SMS Replies - Hangouts

I use Hangouts, and I like to use the pre-composed replies while at work (especially in a meeting), where I can't do a verbal reply. Does anyone know of a way to customize those replies or add new replies? I didn't find anything specifically in Hangouts regarding that.
This is another one of those things where I don't know if it's a Wear thing, a Hangout thing, or what.
