I don't need both.

But due to these kernels included it, it'll cause some strange behaviour such as the soft-keys might not function sometime(can be solved by pressing the power buttons).

I am hoping Glitch Kernel have Non-BLN version.
[Captivate Android Development] jesus_c:
on glitch kernel softkeys might not function sometimes too
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Glitch has the ability to disable BLN, just as this one does through cmparts.apk. You won't run into the touchkey bug if it's disabled.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Turning wifi on caused a reboot with neo 16. For me wifi won't turn on
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
I can't have BLN Control to disable the BLN. It said device not supported.

How do I do it properly?

The CMParts.apk will work on MIUI ROM with Glitch Kernel?

Where's the settings to disable the BLN using CMParts.apk?
[Captivate Android Development] blitzermetal:
wifi work ok with me. I'm on MIUI 1.8.5 from miui.us
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Well have to try wifi again later

Edit

Yes wifi works fine not sure what caused the problem before
[Captivate Android Development] wickedninjalo:
Bln isn't working for me but WiFi is neo 16 with 1.8.5 galnet
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
ok guys -

thanks

for the reports on BLN not working

we're working on it to get best functionality (BLN, KTLO, etc.) and performance (new toolchain) out of the kernel

but this takes some time

thanks for your understanding :)
[Captivate Android Development] squishy5:
in the next kernel could there be gpu oc
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
there already is 200 -> 220

control for gpu oc hopefully also will be in one of the next builds that I + TheEscapist create

Thank you so much for your hard work!!
[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
So, if I'm understanding correctly, led notifications = bln for the captivate? And I see gb bootloaders mentioned, can these kernels be flashed on any boot loader that is capable of running cm7?

Sent from cyanogen mod 7
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
What's voodoo sound upstream?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
led notifications is a different version of bln.

BLN = Neldars implemntation, ported by me. Doesn't have the disabled touchkey bug, uses bln control.

Led Notifications = Kang's implementation. Designed to be more compatible with CM, hooks into CMparts.apk

As for gb bootloader support, ext-sd support got merged so your external sd card will now work.
[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
Okay, so I can just flash this over the latest nightly and not have issues? Just clarifying

yes:

adb shell

then reboot

after that logcat should be activated :)

all i can say is DAMN this NEO 16 codename beast r2 release runs AWESOME! im loving the vr scheduler too, and savagedZen/interactiveX governors! everything included is awesome! i cant complain about a single thing, yet i have a question regarding the non-led notif. version: is bln not included in it? the bln control app says not supported, and it honestly isnt important enough to my personal use of my phone to do the led thing lol
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
BLN not working....

So, I've just flashed CM7_CAPPY_20110810_NEO_16_BLN, and BLN is not working....the app says it's fine, I get no errors, but the lights just don't light up. Even the "test notification" button in Neldars app doesn't light up the keys.

I'm stumped.
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Also, I just ruled out the possibility of this being caused by the ROM or anything else...I flashed CM7-OCkernel.nightly.6 (from Escapist) and the BLN works perfect.

Weird....
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
thanks for further testing,

this is currently under investigation by TheEscapist & me
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
OK, thanks. By the way, I should mention in case it's relevant, I'm on MIUI.US 1.8.12.
[Captivate Android Development] skrallbro:
I am on MIUI 1.8.5 and after installing the new BLN kernel I was able to turn on LED notifications in settings to Green (default) and the test worked.

However, my haptic keys went out and I had to lock/unlock to get them working again.
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
Would someone plz explain to me whats required and the flash procedure for Redux 9 v5, Neo 15 and Neo16? Becuz everytime i flashe it reboots into recovery and nothing else.
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
Hey zack, don't know if this is just me or a known issue, but I flashed the NEO 16 r2 kernel and it seems that the home and back buttons are swapped. It's not really that big of an issue since all the functionality is still there, but thought I'd let you know.
[Captivate Android Development] wickedninjalo:
Ok so how do I get there from miui cause activities doesn't work for me
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Sure you flashed captivate version?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Led settings
[Captivate Android Development] KCutrer1:
Yes it says CAPPY in the kernel filename, so I'm assuming it is.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Odd not having that issue
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Wifi, sensors, external SD all working for me. Phone thing is fixed too, and everything seems snappier than earlier releases.

Odd thing happened: Phone soft rebooted (went straight to CM boot screen), and the colors on the boot screen were all screwed up (grayish instead of blue). Battery pulled and it rebooted fine. Not sure what's up with that, but it isn't a big deal.

Biggest complaint is it takes longer than usual to get signal and completely stabilize after a reboot (2-4 ADW FC's instead of the usual 1 or 2). Other than that, it runs great so far.
[Captivate Android Development] bobmcgee:
Holly balls. Working Ext SD card. It makes we want to cry :D This is better than ice cream on a hot sunny day! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful... I would say that this is a HUGE step forward for the CM7 project.

Many congrats! I will report any problems that I have with this kernel. Still can't believe it....
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Just thought I would throw this out. I recently switched from Kang's Kernel to this one on my CM7 Captivate and for whatever reason, landscape mode doesn't work. I enable it every way I can and nada. I may try flashing back to your older kernel and back and see if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Quick question, you mention that all sensors are working, doe this include the magnetic field sensor?
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Tried your kernel after getting boot loops i got it to work. auto rotation and wifi is working, but i cant even connect my phone to the computer at all now. mass media storage doesn't even show up in notification bar.
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
thanks for the report !

glad you like it :)

thanks for your report,

the bold issue with signal acquisition might be fixed with the next release as I wrote: the kernel contains approx. 50% of the fixes & improvements that "rocketeer" had

all credits goes to atinm for this :)

thanks for using the kernel !

landscape mode == auto-rotation ?

why is everyone so non-imaginative or not looking back at the previous 1-5 pages ? :(

(no offense)

and *sigh* I'll write it again:

- wipe /cache & Dalvik Cache

- press the power button for 10+ seconds while the phone is running

- turn auto-rotation on and off

after that it should work

hope that helps ;)

thanks !

I should have made it clear

all sensors that should work now work

thanks !

:confused:

anything specific ? are you running MIUI ?

it should work after you've flashed the latest system-update from April 9th

thanks !
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Everything seems to be working fine now.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Rocketeer had the same issue I believe.

Welcome to the Captivate forums. We hate reading :)

Is the fix in the 4/9 CM update just in the kernel? If so, I don't think there's any reason to update if you're on this kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Yes, I am meaning auto-rotation and I clear both caches and battery stats after every upgrade. Now just to check, but when the hold power button, you are referring to opening the Phone Options screen, correct?

I tried everything you mentioned before I posted.
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
No ! :D

if I write hold "power button" then I mean "keep it pressed" for 10+ seconds

it doesn't matter if the phone options menu appears or not - just keep it pressed

and the phone should reboot - just stubbornly follow the steps :)
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ok, my bad. I actually held the power button for 15 seconds and nothing. I will try again.
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
I had to reboot a second time for it to work.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Bump. How's this working for everyone after a few days?
[Captivate Android Development] capita:
Been running this kernel on the latest miui build for the past few days. Stock clock, uv'd -100 on all steps. Been rock solid so far.

No reboots, no freezes.
[Captivate Android Development] slayp00n:
how are people finding batlife?
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Is it possible to get LED notification using this kernel on MIUI? Is there a package like "CMParts" for MIUI that I can replace to use LED Notification by app?

Currently in MIUI the LEDs light up when activated in the settings, but only on stock apps (stock SMS, GMail, missed calls and voicemail).

Having the ability to choose in MIUI which apps trigger the LEDs would be awesome!
[Captivate Android Development] codeblue315:
Using the latest build. Everything is working fantastic. Auto-rotation is working for me (after I did the 10 sec power button hold thingy). Great job, will definitely keep using this kernel for a while.

well, seems like with every post there needs to be link included referring to a BIG FAT FAQ :D

thanks for spreading the word, btw (creating another thread about this kernel)

I really appreciate it

*bump*

any news ?

is it working for you now ?

thanks for your feedback ! :)

yeah, that's a known issue

it's up to the MIUI upstream team (in China) to include it

hopefully someone bothers them and they'll do it :p

thanks for your feedback ! :)

you can try out the new "antlion" release if you feel like it

do a nandroid backup before trying it out

you'll never know - just in case

[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Hi b-eock,

try backing up your data and doing a factory reset, also format /system,

then flash the ROM / or nightly

after that the kernel

not sure why it would only boot to recovery

Hi KCutrer1,

the only thing can be:

- flashed wrong kernel

- Gingerbread bootloader on the phone with different button mapping

there's an app available to change the mapping of the buttons but I forgot the name :(

<-- that one might help

that's on latest MIUI right ?
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Yep. It's on the latest version.

The older versions have those settings too, but, have lesser options to play with.

Any ideas for fixing the haptic keys for the led version they intermittently stop working and it's annoying to have to turn my screen off and on again everytime it happens
[Captivate Android Development] Akitohk:
hi zack, thanks for all you have done:D

just flashing neo16r2 from glitchV11, i got some problem about the screen. i not sure is it my own issue.

usually i use voodoo control apps to set the "Screen v1 gamma hack" to 2.3.3 defaults to get a natural color.

But this time, when i flash neo16r2 kernel, the color seems to be weird, looks like 6bit color with some kind of false contouring

so i try to switch back to neo10 or glitchV11

the color were back to normal

i don't know is it my own issue or something about voodoo control apps, just try to report here : )
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
sorry that's an inherent issue with the current implementation of led-notifications / the light timeout

how often does it happen for you ?

are you using the kernel with led-notifications ?

if you don't need it - try switching to the kernel without - that one *should* behave better (not sure though)

we're working on getting BLN (as an alternative) to work on all phones

but since I've rather little time from now on this will take a while

Hi Akitohk,

where exactly are you getting that look ?

is that the whole screen and the light is entering to the screen from one side ?

these issues hopefully will disappear in the kernel without voodoo color

Thanks !
[Captivate Android Development] AmandeepG:
I tried that, and logcat kind of works. I get some log messages, but not nearly the amount I usually get, and running my app on the phone does not produce my log messages in my code.

I looked and /data/local/logger.ko exists.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
It wont be as extensive as it used to be, because printk is disabled in this kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] AmandeepG:
Is printk used when you do Log.d(TAG, "hello");?

If so, how can I enable that? If not, what can I enable so that those log messages are displayed?
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
I dont know what specifically is controlled by printk, but I do know it requires recompiling the kernel with it available. Pm me if you need one.

it usually happen with some picture

i open the screenshot jpg in NEO v10, glitch v11, TalonMTD, it just look the same as i open in PC

but i open it in NEO16, glitch v12 beta.. it look like the screen i take from camera

you can notice the problem easily with the snoopy pic (see the red rooftop)

P.S. the actual effect is more noticable since my photography skill is not good

and the screenshot seems to rerender when i attach it to xda

And what version of bln just works with no input? Led notification, or the normal labeled kernel bundled?
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:

[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
after flashing i can understand why people might swear by this, at least thus far i am exceedingly happy with performance, VC, speed, stability, app open/multitask switching times, BUT i still dont know if bln is working (or even included for that matter) i flashed the one that was NOT the led notif from the link provided, but everything is working AWESOME so far, uv/oc 1.2 ghz (i dont care for higher oc) means insane battery life + insane performance to me :) this kernel runs as fast as the stock kernel (which isnt supposed to be bad, stock runs amazing now) but with VC which is pretty much why i got this cappy, therefore ME = HAPPY lol :p
