Hey,
LED notification? Anyone using it?
Are you all using BLN or some other?
CM7 used to have a built in led notification on the buttons like BLN in my older phone, but it cm7 doesnt seem to have it built in for this phone.
So what can I use for notification led? As I have stock kernel so it i cannot use bln....
Thanks
So just flash a Kernel with BLN support, ex- Ninphetamine 2.1.3.
but flashing non stock kernel losses battery right?
what are other disadvantages?
It actually increases if you can UV a little bit with SetCPU or use an already UV'ed kernel like SpeedMod or else.
That's a very wrong info you have there.

I use NoLed from market and it works great!
Good options and settings.

A non-stock kernel usually improves battery.
However, based on reading the BLN sources and talking to some people, BLN on the I9100 has the same problems it had when I tried to implement it on the I777 - a permanent wakelock while the LED is on, which IS bad for battery life.
Believe it or not. You get used to no LED.
I used Noled too untill i noticed a great battery decrease on a daily basis.

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
can i flash franco's kernel on cm7? and if so, will there be a significant boost on my phone's performance or the other way around?? thanks!
Check this topic mate this question already had a place here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1097187
yes you can . i did and i like the performance
there seems to be a battery drain issue on mine though.
Install setcpu set governer to savezed. If you are using 3g for data than battery consumption is higher.

I have been using CM7 with franco's kernel since yesterday and the battery consumption is much higher.
I think i need to shift to a froyo rom like openoptimus etc.
@silvertooth what do you say ??

Why? How much are you getting?
I am getting around 20 hours with 2g data on continuously and around 1% overnight. Pretty good for me. If you want to switch to Froyo, right now devoid.franco is pretty good.

Can you give me an alternate link for devoid ?
Right now, how can i decrease my CPU speed in CM7 ??

This is the only link i can get.
You mean frequency? You have to use an app called SetCPU which is free for xda members.

You can choose the governor and Frequency.

That the tweaks are included means you don't need to do anything to enable them.
No kernel requires any sd card partitioning.
Yes, you can flash it via CWM. Just wipe cache and battery stats first.

so that means that the tweaks are already enabled when the phone boots up??? thanks man for your response!
I tried flow control and light manager but all does not offer fading light control.the led effect is similar to when Samsung stock boot screen, the light was like running and interchange. This is a nice effect! !
Any way to enable this effect in notification?

mate i dnt use siyah
but i guess its under misc
there is no bln/breathing for siyah in sgs3.
Only if you use CM/AOKP roms can you have led fading.
I found that the N.E.A.K kernel supports led fading.

Sorry to bump this thread bit I tried asking twice now in the Dorimanx kernel thread but I don't get a reply:'( I can't seem to ever get bln to work anymore. I'm now using dorimanx latest kernel 7.15.1 and it's still not working. But it does if I test it using Stweaks. Is there a way to specifically set it up to work now as there is also blnww? Thanks

Bln for stock sms app doesn't work. Only for missed calls. Try to install a 3rd party app like go sms ,handcent.

Stock apps can't manage LED notifications even if a kernel allows it. So missed calls don't work neither without help of any 3rd party apps.
You can try:
1. BLN Control - only missed calls
2. Light Flow light - various types of notifications possible (incuding missed calls and sms/mms)
Wohoo. Finally I solved my problem. When using handcent, you must tick the led notification in the settings. I'm happy now.

So I'm still running an old flappjaxxx UCLF6 build (Android 4.0.4). Part of the reason I've not flashed in such a long time is because I'm completely dependent on BLN working for notifications.
At the time I stopped flashing, source code hadn't been released so there was no way to run BLN on say a CM based ROM. My questions are:
1. Has this changed, and if so what more current ROMs enable BLN?
2. If BLN still is not available, what other apps are people using for notifications?
TIA

bln is out there but there are better means of notifications now days, try out "Dynamic Notifications" app in the playstore, works awesome, looks good and doesnt eat battery
