thanks

You need to connect to a network with internet access. Something like a home wireless network or Starbucks. Do you have a wireless router at home to connect to?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zepplin123:
i am connected to a wifi signal but the verizon galaxy tab 10.1 doesnt have the samsung account sync thing so i cant get the update over wifi. and when they release it over 4g i wont be able to get it that way because i dont have a data plan set up.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cleblanc92:
Can you setup an account at samsung.com with your PC then go into Settings on the tab and add the samsung account with the same credentials?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zepplin123:
i dont even have the option to link or sync a samsung account. there is no option. i only have gmail and corporation.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eXiled Killah:
To truely answer this you're going to have to wait with the rest of us for Verizon to put out the touch whiz update. They haven't even announced it. I'm in NYC and tried the Samsung "update event", but I was told that it was available for the WiFi only models and we would have to wait for Verizon to release the update. Don't know for sure if your LTE radio will need to be active to receive the update whenever it does finally come, but keep in mind that it is through the LTE radio that the device communicates with Verizon's servers...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danstek:
Dang that really is a dilemma you got... Unfortunately I don't think you'll be able to update via wifi since it's a Verizon model. The carriers have control of firmware updates and usually they're distributed OTA through the carrier networks. There's no official word on anything yet so don't be too concerned though. Either way, I'm sure that after it's released someone on xda will be able to provide it for the public.

Currently, I switched to Mapdroyd.

[Acer Iconia A500] Werner1111:
Hello,

I recently bought a A500 and am trying to flash a custom rom.

The version of the tab is 1.135.02_AAP_CUS4 and when I try to boot to the recovery kernel I get for a short period of time a progress bar and the an exclamation mark and the tablet is stuck (reboot to normal mode helps).

Do I have to put any update.zip file on the SD card (which is inserted) ?

TIA Werner
[Acer Iconia A500] gasparzim:
Custom ROMs can only be installed using CWM, it is not clear in your post if you have it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Werner1111:
No, I don't have CWM so far.

So I will check the forums on how to get and use it.

One more thing I have to mention, my A500 is a chinese one just the language setting has been changed to english.

Thanks for the reply.

Werner
[Acer Iconia A500] gasparzim:
No problem :-)

I guess it´s ok to flash any custom ROM, but make a backup in CWM before installing any custom.
[Acer Iconia A500] Werner1111:
Yep, a backup is essential, because normally you need one when you don't have one ;)

CWM is installed, backup done.

Now for the decision which rom to use.

Thanks for the hints, these helped me to find the right path.

Best Regards,

Werner

[Galaxy S II General] Lennyuk:
In an effort to clear up every other thread that you are all ruining with stupid unrelated to roms or kernel BLN questions I have created a magical thread for you all to use instead.

So if you have any BLN questions or issues or advice to give then put it here not in other threads!

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Lennyuk:
What is BLN?

BLN stands for Back Light Notifications

Why do we need it?

Well if you are prudent enough you will have noticed that unlike the majority of android phones, Samsung don't see a need to have a LED on the phone to flash to warn you that you have a notification. So some bright spark invtented a way to enable the menu and back keys to flash when you get a notification.

How do I use it?

You need 3 things:

- Modified Liblights.so (this might come in a rom or kernel, it might not)

- Modified BLN compatible kernel

- BLN Control App (free or pro on market)

Stock Samsung SMS app is not generating notifications?

No, this is because Samsung are not stupid, they knew the app was for a phone without an LED so they did not use any light flags at all. You have 3 options, hack the stock sms app to use a Lights flag, use a third party sms app like Handcent SMS or GoSMS or finally use tasker.

If you want SMS to work with stock Messaging app then flash on of these - http://goo.gl/DXlyn beware they are only for KG6 using on other roms may cause undesirable effects (or could be fine :P )

I want it to work for missed calls

Well then you need to get the Pro app from the market where it has an option to turn on the missed calls feature (and don't listen to some fools, this does work!)

But I am a cheapskate who doesn't buy paid for apps

TOUGH!
[Galaxy S II General] KaliKot:
Awesome thread mate. Should clear it up for most people :) I do hope that more people release ROMs with a hacked SMS app for BLN
[Galaxy S II General] Lennyuk:
As soon as someone manages to make the app I am sure most custom roms with BLN would use it.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Well it worked with the stock sms on the S1, so I would suppose they can make it work for the S2.

Someone will eventually post this so let me be the one to do it instead :D

Why not hack the mms.apk for us so that the BLN can work with the stock sms app.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
That's actually being discussed in another thread.
[Galaxy S II General] David Roosendaal:
So.... what rom or kernels are bln enabled?
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Ninphetamine kernel is, villain rom 2.4.2 is, other roms that say in there thread title are.

Most roms are now as its the big new thing, also most custom kernels built from source are now but check there threads.

CF root isn't bln enabled as its a repackaged stock Kernel, stock roms are not unless modified with a custom kernel with it enabled and a updated liblights
[Galaxy S II General] kryptoner:
Awesome idea OP!!!
[Galaxy S II General] ZiCoN:
Good idea, now let's see if people can keep the questions in this thread...

I've had BLN Pro since SGS(1), and with Criskelo and Ninphetamine it works great.

Only thing I've done differently, is install Handcent, to get BLN working with SMS and MMS.

To get calls working BUY THE PRO! and tick off "call notification" in "BLN for Android-OS apps"
[Galaxy S II General] huzz:
Since this the appropriate thread, are there any major disadvantages for BLN to be on all the time apart from battery? Have S1 users ever faced BL issues, stop working completely or something?

Great thread!

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
It's only battery AFAIK.

And with appropriate settings you can even keep the drain low enough.

I set mine to 30min blink and 45min static - if I haven't picked up the phone by then I wont in a longer time anyways so more blinkage is not required IMO and for the meantime I got all the notifications I want.

Drain on battery is totally OK for me with those settings.
[Galaxy S II General] Lennyuk:
yeah it basically is just the negative battery impact

your phone will not deep sleep while BLN is active so the longer you have it showing the longer your phone stays "awake" which therefore increases your battery drain

I have mine set up to blink for 5 minutes then be static for 30.
[Galaxy S II General] nrnbow:
Thank you for the thread. Before that I had to figure out all that by myself. Time saving ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Alright, I think I won't get banned by asking my '

noobish

' queries '

here

'. So here it goes,

► I flashed Ninphetamine 2.0.5 kernel and Flashed Liblights.zip from Jame Bond thread and installed BLN Control Pro. Now the thing is, Missed Call notification DOES work. Now the thing is everyone is saying that BLN drains battery, I mean how could it drain if it's not in use?

► Also, I'd like to know what is Static LED timeout? I have it Disabled. What does it do?

► Schedule BLN? Why should I turn it on when it works with it Disabled?

I am using it from yesterday and I don't see there is any extra battery drainage or something like that other than two extra services, w|FileObserver & w|LedObserver is there under Wakelocks for a minute or two, and usually that short period didn't make any difference on battery backup. So why is that everyone keeps saying BLN drains battery if it does nothing?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] mdalacu:
When the buttons lights up continually can the phone sleep? When they blink it's pretty clear why the phone does not sleep...you need an active timer to switch the buttons states.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Of course, when the buttons glow the phone will not sleep but that state won't be forever as a normal person does check his/her cell phone at an interval of 15-30 mins, least I do, I didn't ask for that. What I asked was, How does BLN drain battery when it's not in use, and by that I mean when you have NO new/unread notifications?

I hope I made myself clear enough.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
From my experience on my phone, BLN does NOT drain the battery when there are no notifications blinking.

Phones enters deepsleep and stays there.

1: see above, it's not

2: when the LEDs are on constantly-on / nonblinking (=static) this timeout controlls when they will go OFF again - as long as the LEDs are on it drains the battery more, so set this to a sensible value to allow the phone to go back to deepsleep

3: if disabled BLN does it's job 24h a day, if enabled you can set times when BLN should NOT do any LED notifications, for whatever reasons you might have.
[Galaxy S II General] Robafet:
I presume that there is no way to use BLN with an unmoded galaxy 2?
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Correct.

You need a custom kernel that supports BLN.
[Galaxy S II General] BenKranged:
Someone should write a new BLN from scratch that doesnt require a custom kernel.

I think tens of thousands of people would buy such an app for say $5.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Doesn't work that way.

It's a low-level driver thing.

And even if you manage to make a kernel module that can be loaded afterwards, you'd still need root to load it.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Only battery, when I had my S1 I've used BLN since it was implemented with SpeedMod Kernel, I never noticed any significantly battery drop even if the notification was active overnight, Im not saying that there is no added drain but neldar did a good job of optimizing it.

Something that is normal for you might not be for others :p
[Galaxy S II General] BenKranged:
I would pay $5 for that. So would thousands of other people. It could load in the same way as "Voodoo Control Plus".
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Why shouldn't I Thank You.

Got the first part.

Still confused on the 2nd part though. I mean I set it to Blinking, so why would it glow as Static? And I want to Blink the LED's until I check the notification. So I don't think I need to set anything on this Static option, right?

3- Got this part too.

Well about battery drain, it does drain a little bit more even if it's not used, there are some minimum amount of Wakelocks caused by BLN, by both these processes, Led Observer and File Observer, they were on for about a min or two, that doesn't matter anyway.

Man +1 to this, I'd really love that and pay that amount gladly.

Agreed.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Im not sure if making it a loadable module would be that hard, but in the end as you say, modprobe or equiv would need root anyway to load it so the whole mess would be null and void.

Not even sure if the generic kernels can load random modules.
[Galaxy S II General] marcelnl:
well let me start saying I'm pretty new to Android, same goes for linux (I know, it's a shame but I started life w a computer in the good old days of the Z80)

Bought the Sg2 mainly because of the speed of the device and the screen quality, but failed to notice it has no frigging status led (well and I failed to notice its sheer size....that comes in handy with eyesight going towards +2 as of lately...)

Have bravely rooted my brand new GS2, and I am now with litenin ROM v5 kg6, ninphetamine 2.0.5 kernel, and I'm frantically trying to get the fr&^%$#@ BLN to work as I really miss a status led (what were these buggers thinking over there)

BLN free is installed and I did attempt to flash the new liblights version from the jame bond thread...yet...

BLN keeps saying my liblights version is not compatible (does recognize the kernel is compatible though).

Anyone here willing to shed some light? I'll take abuse so do not be shy ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
How did you flash liblights?
[Galaxy S II General] huzz:
I would like to direct you to this post.

It works for me on Ninphetamine-2.0.5 on Cognition 1.31. Though I would suggest you remove bln (application) and do a reboot before following the steps. You could technically use any BLN kernel just have to follow the steps from 2, on wards.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] marcelnl:
Thanks mate, will try to find out how to ADB.....thought I was slowly catching on to all these new abbreviations..;)

Had massive probs finding the relevant info, guess I was spoiled to hell in the HTC Touch Pro2 section...

Will report back when I got this working...

Just noticed the Q regarding my flashing liblight...well eerrr I may misstakenly have thought that I could do that with CWM...like I said, I'm new to both Android and linux ...
[Galaxy S II General] huzz:
Not necessary to use adb you could use root explorer or even total commander for replacing the file there (make sure you backup the original just in case) but if you aren't familiar with adb commands then its good learning so enjoy :o)

Just needed some more reading time before I gave it a go...I really was spoilt by the usually excellent step bu step guides in the HTC forums, no offence.

Android really rocks, the speed of the SG2 is AMAZING

(finally learned how to use CWM properly....oops)
[Galaxy S II General] EmilianM:
So finally can we use this if with a rooted device, even if we do not have a custom kernel ?
[Galaxy S II General] marcelnl:
no the kernel needs to be BLN compatible as well as I understand it...but you can always try....
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Right, the kernel has to support it.

Without support in the kernel, nothing will light up.
[Galaxy S II General] Lennyuk:
no you are correct, the kernel needs to support it.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Are there any developments for this to work on the stock SMS app already?
[Galaxy S II General] Lennyuk:
yes

http://goo.gl/DXlyn
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Great, now I just need to know if its power efficiency is as good as it was on the S1.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Is that for KG6 only? And why there are two .zip's?

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
I believe its for KG6 only for either Odex and DeOdexed roms.
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
Note that you can easily modify BLN to work without the app.

Not that I don't like supporting devs but I prefer everything open source whenever possible. It doesn't forbid you to donate either.

Support for apps that don't have lights support can be hacked in custom roms (modify the app i mean) as its been linked before, otherwise for those you do need a separate app.
[Galaxy S II General] tomeks:
for those who want to enable bln notifications for stock sms/mms app (without modify services.jar)

just install 'light flow light' from the market

sent from my GalaxyS2
[Galaxy S II General] gspears:
The BLN for Samsung SMS on KG6 works great. Still looking for one for KG5 however. If anybody runs into one, please let us know. In the mean time, I'll try the one above.
[Galaxy S II General] gspears:
Light Flow Lite DID work on the stock SMS app.
[Galaxy S II General] Lennyuk:
I installed this and although it did work, it also made my BLN go crazy every now and again and it blinked continuously when there was no notifications of any sort, I believe it was triggering a BLN flash every time the battery lost a percentage, so was flashing quite regularly.
[Galaxy S II General] gspears:
I didn't turn on the battery notification because I normally get a day on a charge and charge it back up at night (I hate the charge complete notification).

The only real problem I have is that sometimes it turns off my button lights and I have to turn off the display and turn it back on before they will come back on. Haven't figured out what's causing that yet.

Did you have to leave BLN pro (or non pro) app installed for it to work?

On one of the other threads somebody mentioned that there was now a BLN modded SMS for KG5. I'll try that and if it works I might uninstall Light Flow. It's got a lot of cool features and notification, but i don't really use them.

[Galaxy S II General] tersian:
Hi, I want to firstly thank you for opening this thread. I was at a loss of how to properly activate BLN.

Currently sms + missed call BLN works, but gmail notification does not. Is BLN meant to work with gmail?

I have LeoMar75 Revolution Rom 2.6, with Ninphetamine kernel 2.1.1. Gmail App is currently version 2.3.4.1, I have also tried 2.3.5 but that did not work either.

Gmail notification setting is ON, and I CAN see the notification icon when I turn the screen on, but the backlight just won't turn on.

Is there some setting that I am missing here?
[Galaxy S II General] obionenairobi:
Currently only working with missed calls and Handcent SMS.

It used to work with Gmail but stopped. Don't know why perhaps because I updated or installed Ninph 2.1.0 ??

I also installed today Touchdown for exchange for which it does not work.

Such a shame, I wish it could work for more programs

BTW : what is this lightflow all about ?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
It is a Free software in Market which will allow you to have Stock SMS app notifications via BLN.

Can Light flow also activate the notification lights on the S2 ?

I thought I read it only works with the flash
[Galaxy S II General] gspears:
