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.

Would love this working for other ROMs... I'm using Lite'ning Rom v6.1 XXKH3
I have spent the last three days searching my brains out and have not found an answer to my question.
I recently installed the backside rom in my OV and love it (many thanks) but the stock voice to text feature in messaging included with the virgin mobile rom is no longer there. The feature is gone and the little mic icon on the keyboard is gone. Is there a way to bring it over on the sd card when I install the new rom and then add it back in? Does someone know where to get the files to install back in?
I have tried several market apps but none of them function quite the same or as well as the factory app. I don't want to go back to the stock rom but this feature may be the deal breaker.
Thanks in advance for all your help. love the site.

I appreciate the response and thanks for the welcome but that app is just not quite the same and I do not think it adds an icon to the keyboard when attempting to text.
I would like to now if the original equipment feature is able to be added when flashing the new rom.
thanks again.

Thank you for the reply but I am not looking for an alternative solution I am looking for information on re-installing the original app that comes installed in the phone.
The original function is very user friendly, requires no setup and minimal input to use. Voice search is just not the same. However, if someone knows if Voice can be setup "exactly" like the original app I am all ears.
Thanks again.
Hi all,
I have just installed lightning rom 2.5 and I have noticed that under both Phone and Contacts, there are missing tabs.
e.g.
Under Phone, the contacts tab is missing. I used to be able to slide to the right for more tabs.
How do I go about adding more tabs?
I tried searching but every time I add the word "tab" I get the Samsung Galaxy Tablet threads instead.
Also, under Security, the "SIM Change Alert" and "Remote controls" doesn't seem to be working, every time I tried checking the box, it freezes for awhile and then it says the setup has stopped working.
I wanted to post this in the lightning rom thread, but there's a 10 post restriction, and as such, I am posting here.
I hope someone can kindly help me.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know about remote control or sim change alert, but it is a well known change in ICS that those tabs are removed purposely, in their infinite wisdom. I don't agree with it, but it is what it is. One of the many reasons I'm staying on Gingerbread until find an overwhelming reason to go to ICS.
So if this ROM is ICS based, that's your answer.

That's cause Nexus S is running AOSP android, and Galaxy S series (including the GS2) runs TouchWiz, which Samsung, in their infinite wisdom, have modded to their liking.
Edit to add: Lite'ning ROM is based on Samsung stock, so it uses the same system apps. This will hold true for any ROM based on Samsung stock, unless the ROM chef changes out specific apps, like the phone in this case.

Thanks for the clarification. I am new to android and have been reading up on how to root/flash custom Rom on my TF201, SG2 and NS one by one. Took me several hours of reading and searching, but I have managed to get them all rooted/flashed without bricking any of them
This forum is loaded with heaps of info, but sometimes it's a bit hard to search for some specific stuff;the 10 post limitation on custom rom threads make it hard for me to ask for help from the author.
Just wondering... if S2's lite'ning ROM is based on Samsung stock (non AOSP), how do people change out specific apps?

You need to be rooted, and you replace certain apk files in the /system/app folder. But you need to be certain to use files compatible with your particular build of Android.

I also had this problem. Found the fix on the Litening rom forum under Problems and questions.
I would link the page to you but since i am a new user, i am unable to lol.
Basically there is a zip file that u can flash which lets u add a samsung account and enables the remote settings features. ive tried it on litening rom 2.5 and it worked for me

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?

Is there any way to permanently disable the phone/3G data features, or is there a custom ROM with these features removed?

Id say start with THS Build 14, and delete Phone.apk, TelephonyProvider.apk, MMS.apk, and Contacts.apk. Id say that's it if its deactivated, because then they cant call and accidentally activate it somehow.
Take a look at the GeeWiz thread in the development section. DJP has a version of the ROM specifically designed for what you are trying to do.
Good luck.

Thanks to both of you.
I'll give GeeWiz a look, it's cool that someone is actually developing a ROM to utilize unused but otherwise great phones.
Short term I may try a variation on Cookiemonster's suggestion since the phone has CM7.2 on it now and removing those apks might be simpler than a complete wipe and rebuild.
