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
Erm i just flashed glitch v11 over trigger redux #12 and i cant find any way to activate led notifications in the cm7 settings and its not bln compatible... i can also confirm that it is def not working on its own.
Is trigger redux missing the setting? Is the feature broken?
Am i broken?

It seems to work out of the box for most. Make sure you haven't changed any of the led color settings to a dark color, and make sire you don't have quiet hours enabled with dim led checked.

For me it worked right out of the box. I'm running CM7 build #58, and I upgraded from a previous build, and was running Glitch. The notifications stopped working after the upgrade, so I re-flashed Glitch and it was back up and running like gold.
Well ive reflashed several times and still no led notifs) :
Maybe its worth noting that on kernel du jour, led notifs with bln were buggy; if i got a notif, lights twitched,then i had to touch them to make them light up

Is there any app which turn on the light buttons if i have call or message notification? and thanks!
Yes. Backlight notifications (BLN) Can be activated on siyah or dorimanx kernel via exTweaks. For this you'd need to be rooted and be on either one of the above two kernels.. uses the LEDs of the two capacitive buttons like the notification LED on the nexus phones.

If noobs on xda have taught me one thing, its that smartphones just aren't for everyone.

i dont need screen to be open.... i need those leds..
No, it's works when screen is off. Can use it for email sms WhatsApp missed calls etc. Very customisable too.

Yeah, but when noled app is active with a notification, screen led stays open....so it consumes more battery than touch keys i think.....

Not really. If you really knew what your phone is capable of... The LED "bulbs" which your screen is made of are turned on only if there are any colors to display.this means that when you have a wallpaper, half white half black, only the bulbs where the white color is will be turned on. The bulbs on the area of the black screen stay off and that means that having no LED indeed is more battery saving than turning on the backlights.

Not exactly. NoLED is actually a known battery sucker even on an amoled since the phone is awake all the while the notifications are on. The advantage though, as someone mentioned is its customizability.
BLN on the latest siyah can be used without wakelocks (BLNWW option in exTweaks) but you don't get the blinking/ breathing option if you activate BLNWW. On standard BLN (with wake locks) you can have breathing or blinking LED options. Also can set it so that it deactivates itself if the battery goes below a set threshold..which is why I'm assuming it didn't work for the OP.

Do they work if you use the test button. Look at the charging options too. I apologise if the "easy tick box" comments offended you.

Guys sorry to interrupt! But i see that extweaks is showing that my device isnt compatible! wth! I am on ICS 4.0.3 stock firmware with 4.1.5 Siyah kernel rooted.. How do i get extweaks??
Just flashed the Badseed Tranquil ROM last night and noticed today that when I'm in landscape there is an empty space on the right of the keyboard. I can see through to the app behind the keyboard. Is that supposed to be like that or is there a way to fix it? Also I'm getting some reasonable lag while I'm using the keyboard that I didn't get before. Any help would be great.

It's really odd. Tried dirty flashing back over and that didn't help either.

I flashed using twrp and came from Hatka Supreme if that helps at all. I'm also having problems in the extended settings with the kernel options. Won't let me set tweaks on boot. Dunno if that's a Rom issue or kernel issue though. I'm running cubed but might switch back to beast. Thought cubed would help cuz since I installed roms my car charger won't charge the phone. Gives me the notification error message.

Try a clean flash. Dirty flashes are going to cause issues.

When I got hone from work I wiped everything and flashed from the beginning. Then the keyboard worked, then I put all my apps back on, went to send a txt and therer it was again. So I went into every app that I could use the keyboard on and discovered the empty space is only there in certain apps. My stock messaging and stock browser are fine but gosms and xda and chrome have the empty space by the keyboard. Really disappointing cuz I absolutely love the Rom otherwise. Blue is my favorite color and especially that color blue lol. My case and even my car is that shade blue hahaha. See if that problem happens with anyone else and if it ends up getting fixed in an update I will surely be switching back!

This is a Kernel issue , I suggest BeastMode 5.9 , and you set the options you want in aroma . If you want to change things on the fly feel free to try another kernel , CP's kernel for example .

That is so confusing. Maybe I was wrong and chrome wasn't one. I was trying to remember from last night lol. I know gosms definitely was one though cuz I send so many txts. Give it a try and if it doesn't do it for you then maybe it's an app that I installed that's making it do that. I also have lmt pie installed and that works from that side of the screen so it could possibly be that.

Ok I see what you are talking about , I tested on newts Rom and joelz rom and it seems to be a go sms issue as it does it on them too .

Damn gosms! That's giving me issues with the floating notifications app too. Guess I might have to switch. I just hate the stock app so much and I dunno if any others out there have the privacy box with gesture lock like go has. Hmm will have to do some digging. Also do you know if the problem I'm having with my car charger saying it's unsupported on my phone is a kernel issue or Rom issue?
