I used a version of DarkyROM about 6 months ago that had BLN support, and it worked fine with Light Flow.
Now I'm on DragonROM (the latest one as of today) and Siyah 3.1 rc1 kernel, but Light Flow doesn't work.
I have tried all the options - for alternate methods etc that it has. Is this something that can only be fixed by changing kernels? Can it be fixed by replacing a .so or something?
(Aside: I sincerely hope Samsung adds a dedicated notification LED in the Galaxy S3).
Bln is kernel dependant. I got it work with Siyah 3.0.1 and now I'm on abyss kernel and it works too.
But I do not use lite flow any more, because it did not work dependable. Sometimes lights did not go on, sometimes they did not go off.
Now I use BLN control pro in combination with notify me free and bln works fine!

Does it support different colors for the softkey LEDs..or are they only white?
White only. Because the LED's in the SGS2 soft buttons are white.

Um, what?
This is a screen tuner. It does not look like it will change the color of the softkeys. Not sure anything will, as MistahBungle says, it appears the LEDs of the softkeys are specifically white.

Hello I'm new to Samsung Galaxy Ace forums. I got the phone a couple of days ago So far it has been great.
The only thing I kinda miss from my previous phone is LED notifications. I did a little research and found an app (here in XDA and in the Android Market) called BLN or Backlight Notifications. The app is supposed to be used on the Samsung Galaxy S series phones with modified kernel (BLN-enabled kernel). Those phones, obviously, don't have LED either. The kernel mod and the app allow for the use of touch or capacitive buttons backlight as a LED notification.
Would it be possible to do such modifications to Samsung Galaxy Ace kernel? I mean, there's hope it can be done? I don't wanna waste anyone's time but I think it would be great to have this feature on our phones

yes it's possible.
if u wanna use stock rom, then get "CF ROOT KERNEL" (pls search in the forum here )
otherwise, Cyanogenmod rom comes with a kernel which has BLN enabled.

Hi GUYS....i flashed an AOMK ROM (black infinitum exactly) and i saw there is a voice in the display setting: PULSE NOTIFICATION LIGHT......i belive it serves to notify SMS or CALLS, but when i recive some notifications the hardware button doesn't blink...so, someone could help me out? has already happened to some of you?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
Its a placeholder for other devices with notification LEDs, and should have been greyed out. AFAIK, BLN doesn't work yet on CM9 / AOKP
It's works now with the latest beta siyah kernel here:

Hello,
I tried several custom roms for Xperia U posted in xda, but not even one has the led bar working like in stock rom.
I'm now with stock 6.1.1.B.1.10 with Munenjis kernel plus some other mods and toggles.
So are there any roms with fully working led bar for Xperia U (ST25i)?
Thanks in advance,
:highfive:

I'm almost givig up of the led bar features because the dialer, contacts and sms in stock rom lag like hell, not to mention that when somebody calls me, first the phone vibrates, then the led lights up, then it starts ringing and only after that the screen comes on, a good 3-4 secs.
Thanks for your reply, :good:

in CM the led bar turns on when needed like for notifications, low battery, charging and some others. most xperia u users say they have bad battery support so most of them would be happy with led turning on as less as possible

Sorry but the led must be the thing that wastes less battery, everybody knows that leds almost don't consume energy.
The hungry battery eaters are: phone trying to have good network signal, 3G, Data traffic, screen/brightness, wireless, bluetooth, vibration...
I think that in the list above the leds of the led bar (there's the led of the camera) would be the thing that consumes less battery.
Just my 2 cents
For anyone that's interested here are the links for SXU newest FXP207:
Rom: http://unrestrict.li/fxp (CyanogenMod9 / FXP207 / kumquat)
Don't forget you have to come from 6.1.1.B.1.54 FW then fastboot flash the boot.img that's in the ROM

I'll try it later, waiting for your feedback :good:
Already tried it.
Bugs:
Even with the ilumination bar fix, the only color that the leds emit is white. Using ilumination bar notification app won't fix it.
Network signal in statusbar only turns blue if you have an active data or wireless connection, otherwise its grey.
In the original trebuchet launcher the separator line of the dock in the homescreen magically reappears in blue, even if it isn't ticked in options.
That's the 1st 3 i can remember, back to stock :victory:

I've been using the eXperince V2 ROM now for about 3 weeks, occasional lag on an incoming call if I'm in a game, but other than that I'm error free, and I mean even the illumination bar works fine. I recommend it to anyone with an Xperia U. Tried CM9, too glitchy, debating 9.3, tempted but after the last one I'm wary. eXerience V2, AWESOME ROM!!

I used an S1 for a couple of years until today. I loved the S1 so much that I actually really wanted to keep it, but the low RAM was becoming a problem, so since the design of the S2 is pretty similar to the S1 I decided to buy one.
It's all rooted and running CM11 now, but the screen has a little but of yellow tint to it. On the S1, most ROMs had advanced display options which you could adjust red, green, blue individually as well as red, green, blue gamma.
Is there any way of doing this with the S2? This tint is a bit annoying.. :-/
Thanks
Flash Dorimanx 8.43v64 kernel with any JB rom, and you will be able to set colors in STweaks, or you can try 10.43 for CM11 but im not sure if it has color options.

Does flashing that kernel give me seperate control of red/green/blue?
I flashed a different kernel that also used STweaks, but there was only a brightness control and a gamma control, no individual colour sliders.
It's CM11 I'm using. Don't really want to go back to using JB, after having seen the great increase in performance I got when I upgraded to 4.4.3.

Thanks for this app! Light buttons notifications would be awesome a led is the only thing missing on this phone
LightKeys updated to version 1.1 with some improvements. Download link and changelog updated.
Since we are talking about lights.
There is a problem on my device. idk about others but whenever i get a message or a miscall of any other messenger. such as whats app. my touch keys doesn't light up. compare to my screen light up then total black out. it would be great to have my touch keys to light up when receiving a notification as this will help me know that i have a message or a miscall without pressing my power button or home button to see the notification. Is it normal? Any fix? Thanks You.

No, it's not implemented as default, so i'll have to rework the Kernel :/ if that's work on my A5 variant (A500FU) yea, why not I can adapt it.
Anyway, i'll update this app at least once a week. I have a lot of work to do on XDA, work on Cyanogen, BlissPop etc...

Thanks for that simple but useful app

Good Stuff!!

Good stuff mygalaxya!
If you can make the LightKeys to fade in and out on notification you're awesome!
If you can make it without root you're even more awesome!

Hi all!
I made an new App, LightKeys, this app allows you to set up how long the capacitive buttons stay light for the duration which you want! You can set the buttons always off and always on. If you want to revert this changes, just click on set as default.

I tested it on my A5, version 5.0.2 and on CyanogenMod 5.1.1. Don't hesitate to tell me if that's worked on your device!
I'll work to add more features to this app, like blinking buttons when notifications !
Feel free to report any issue you may encounter. Download link in attachments.

blinking when having notifications would be great. keep up the nice work man,
Using the native access to notifications plus your APP control of the LEDs you can't make the notifications blink?
