nothing blink, do i have to replace all of the sgh-i777 files in that one folder?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
No, only replace lights.sgh-i777.so set your key lights to time out (any setting where you can go into BLN control and have them be off) then click on the test mode. With BLN control, I have not found a way to make them blink...for me they are just steady on. Perhaps there are other options out there to control them , but I don't know. This is my first experience playing with BLN , as I came from an Aria, which had an led.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] IVIadness:
I just replaced the one, then rebooted, works and blinks perfect using bln pro from the market, even go Sms blinks when I get a text I tuned on that option in go Sms.. I am using serendipity 8 on my GS2 and just renamed that lights.so file posted and boom good to go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sailador:
lol it works perfectly after rebooting and changing some setting like you guys said

I am on shoman94`s UCKJ4 stockrooteddeodexed rom that originally included 11132011 version of this kernel. After i flashed the new version, when i turn the phone off and then plug in the charger, the phone turns back on. Any thoughts? TIA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I tried the file and renamed it which got BLN working BUT..... The touch keys don't work any other time. The settings in the menu don't make a difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] paleman27:
Someone send me here. He said you are the man to make bln work on r3.

I will appreciate you're effort.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I'm Now using the one from the captivate. Not sure if there was a difference but its working now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] paleman27:
That's above my skill level. I will appreciate steps.

Thank up for your help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I tried them both and the tests are working fine but until the rom you are on updates services.jar to support BLN, it won't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] paleman27:
I saw the service jar posted on your ROM thread. Is a jar flashable or do I have to Odin? If	Odin in what

slot do I place the jar?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
You have to use adb or you can use root explorer or supermanager to place the file. It is for my stock rom only.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] paleman27:
Oh... for your ROM only...arrgghhh.

Do you know all the trouble I went to get that jar file in the r3? Lol!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Lol... Didnt it cause a bootloop? It usually does.

I did say services.jar for the rom you are using.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] paleman27:
Yes you did say it. I have to be more careful when I read.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Lol, it doesn't even make it to the boot animation. I knew what could happen and tried it on UnNamed to see what would happen. Made the backup prior to and just restored it.

Don't roast me for not reading all of this thread but if I don't see "liblights" in the lib folder in VillainROM 3.0?

Trying to get me some BLN for Serendipity 8! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ORT14:
Anyone have any luck getting the BLN to work on UnNamed 1.3.1? I can get the lights to go on and stay on by swapping the liblights from villain but they won't flash. And for some reason when I swap the liblights file I lose my ability to get emails via hotmail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sailador:
dont forget to reboot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ORT14:
I did the reboot. Before reboot the lights don't go on at all. After reboot is when they just stay on and I lose hotmail. Can't figure out where I am going wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sailador:
not sure why...i am using unnamed 1.3.1 but not using hotmail and it is working perfectly...are you using bln free or pro?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ORT14:
I am using free, how about you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sstarre:
Pro has the option for flashing..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ORT14:
I see. That would explain why it doesn't flash. I am going to try pro and then report back. Thanks for the help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Ahhhh....

EDIT: Wow, the pro version is significantly better than the free one. I recommend it to anyone considering.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ORT14:
Alright, I got it figured out. After adding the liblights file and rebooted I had to then reinstall the sns fix for UnNamed and do another reboot. Once I did that I got my hotmail back and have the bln working now too. Not sure why adding the new liblights file changed the UnNamed sns fix but it did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Added liblights files to post #3.

The BLN-modded one has been tested with both the BLN Control test notification, and also using an incoming gmail message on a slightly modified stock ROM.

SMS light notifications will apparently not work without an alternate SMS app like Handcent or a services.jar modification
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iRide113:
Not really sure what I did wrong but I am running Serendipity 8.

Used the adb method and changed SGH-I777 to GT-I9100, and BLN still doesn't recognize it.

How can I do this with Root Explorer instead? Never really had good luck with adb. :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Use the modified one and keep the name the same. lights.SGH-I777.so
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iRide113:
So take the "bln_lights.SGH-I777.so" file and rename it to "lights.SGH-I777.so" and then push it to system>lib>hw?

Sorry, it's been a very long time since I have done this crap. :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Just a quick note, been running BLN on unnamed 1.3.1 with the liblights.so from villain ROM, and no edits to services.jar for 2 days, using free BLN control. Been a very quiet 2 days on the phone, but ebuddy xms and texts via google voice are triggering BLN just fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It looks like the tethering settings persistence fix for Hellraised ROMs has issues - did not work on a fresh flash of SensatioN 1.9.

For the time being, the following SHOULD fix you:

adb shell chown wifi.system /data/misc/wifi
adb shell chmod 777 /data/misc/wifi

Then set up your tethering settings before you reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Yes that is correct

---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------

If you want SMS thru the stock sms/mms app then services.jar needs editing.

Didn't work. :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Change the file's permissions to rw-r-r (check the first two boxes on the first line and only the first box on the next two lines). Reboot.

EDIT: I just noticed the error message on the other picture. Perhaps reflash the kernel? If the liblights was the only issue, it'd say that.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Did you also reboot after?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
permissions were clearly wrong. That's what the "adb shell chmod 644 /system/lib/hw/lights.SGH-I777.so" step is for. BLN Control said kernel, but it may not be able to distinguish. (Need to test...)

As to rebooting... That's why I always do operations like this while in recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Thanks Shoman. I figured that was the case. I only use GV for texting, so my current set up is fine for me...just figured I'd let other folks know in case they are in a similar situation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturallyfrozen:
I posted in UnNamed & was redirected here. I searched for charging keywords & couldn't find anything.

Today, I turned my phone off to charge it. I plugged it in & it AUTOMATICALLY turned on. I turned it off again & it showed me the battery figure with dots underneath indicating that it's charging, but it stops & turns on automatically. I removed the battery once & see if that works, but it doesn't.

I'm running latest UnNamed & this latest kernel 11.23.2011. I'm using the charger & battery defaulted by AT&T (one that comes with it). Wall charge. This is the first time it has happened. I'm just curious why I can't turn it off & KEEP it off while it's charging. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sstarre:
Just a note....

I developed the same issue over the weekend. I think it was after flashing the BLN kernel and changing the liblight file. i uninstalled BLN Pro, and re-flashed the previous kernel version, but the problem remained. So I did a TIBU and re-flashed UnNamed 1.3.1 with a full wipe and all is normal again after a TIBU app & data restore. The phone stays off while charging...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pupochek:
On while charging...

After I flashed the latest shoman94`s rom (which includes 11/23/2011 version of this kernel), it stopped doing this...

Oops, never mind, still does it, I guess it is BLN...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturallyfrozen:
I was afraid it'll come to that. I just d/led latest UnNamed & Entropy DD kernel again because that was my next step.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hkeyman:
I saw a similar issue this weekend from a powered down state. I had installed a clean copy of UnNamed 1.3.1 Full and then put the BlueMonkey over after the ROM install was complete. Ran its course through the day updating and syncing everything and letting the battery fully drain. I plugged in to charge and noticed the same experience as NaturallyFrozen mentioned with the auto boot after a few minutes on the charge (This is a wall charger, not USB into PC) after boot and being up at home screen for about a minute it shut down again and went through the same process (I believe it was three times) before it had enough charge to sustain and stay booted up and charge fully the device. Also the backside of the phone was cookin' and stayed that way even after unplugging and charging stopped. I was convinced I did a bad install and I restored a previous ROM install from Backup and all was cool and calm again. I was more concerned with the heat issue than the boot-up charge issue (Hence why I went back to my step up updated version of UnNamed and the DD_1123 Kernel). No issues since the restore of my old install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iRide113:
Wiping Dalvik and changing the permissions fixed it. :rolleyes:

EDIT: Nevermind. BLN now recognizes I have it enabled, but using Go SMS Pro, it still does not work...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
You need services.jar modified to support BLN for SMS/MMS notifications.

Entropy

I have noticed, after flashing various i9100 roms and kernals that a lot of the kernals with 5.0.2.7 have the SD storage issue corrected. For example when o boot into recovery and I got to flash the hellraiser package, my external SD shows up when hit install from SD and when I click install zip from internal, it takes me to the built in internal SD. After I flash hellraiser it goes back to the reverse SD thing. Is there anyway we can get this fix for your kernel?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I'll see if I can find a kernel to grab the recovery binary from - have an example other than Siyah? (it's extremely difficult to unpack its initramfs.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgrimberg1979:
i think Kernel CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KJ3-v5.0-CWM5 has this fix. it comes with Omega Rom 7.0

Entropy

Just wanted to give heads up

Looks like siyah ported his kernel. It has some issues still but for the most part it is working. The biggest thing for me is the storage is fixed and an added bonus is cwm manager is fully functional so i can flash roms wo having to boot into cwm. I would love to see this on your kernel as i get the best batteru life habds down and very smooth
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Seeing that Siyah still has issues is no surprise to me. Quality control is not his forte. Having unreviewable code and violating the GPL with many of his releases doesn't help there either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Nope. No improvements to advanced restore or identifying external SD properly, and also home/back buttons don't work. (It's nice to have BOTH capabilities.)

Ugh fun - looks like building CWM will require me to get a GS2 CM7 tree installed. Well, it's probably time to nuke my Infuse tree since I don't have one any more...

[YOUTUBE]XZ0qfvijl6c[/YOUTUBE]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgrimberg1979:
LOL,

The SD cards were mounted corrected with the cf-kernal, at least they were for me. the back and home button didnt work and advanced restore didnt but the biggest thing in my book is the sd cards being mounted correctly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I can't figure out why this is - our recovery mounts the internal SD to /sdcard and external to /emmc, the only difference in cf-kernel's recovery is replacing emmc with /sdcard1 - which is NOT standard behavior.

Anyway, this is a minor cosmetic issue - "external" is named "internal", that's it really (well if I can find a recovery that fixes advanced restore from /emmc - compiling it is a *****)

Edit: There are apparently TWO recovery.fstabs - one does mount the external SD to /sdcard and internal SD to /emmc - I worry that if these get switched it'll make people's heads explode though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgrimberg1979:
But that is the way the phone should work, dont you agree? When it is the way it is now, you use up your internal storage so quickly and rom manager and cwm manager dont work properly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I'll try fixing it later this week... My main concern is that the way it works now, those who don't own an external SD card will not have a way to do an advanced restore. Although this is a pretty rare corner case...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgrimberg1979:
Doesnt it come with an external sd? I thought my did although i ended up putting my 10class in
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I don't think so - Infuse had a 2GB, GS2 had none I think.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Correct no external SD card provided with AT&T sgs2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgrimberg1979:
Damn well either way I bet 90% of owners have one. I find that strange if they dont have one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] IlluminatedOne:
I am not sure if this have been addressed before, (sorry, I didn't go through all posts of the thread :o)

I cooked up a ROM and using your latest Kernel. I can not charge my phone while it is turned off. I was trying to give it a bump charge today after flashing, when connected in power off mode, it reboots after few seconds. I guess it is a kernel issue, I could be wrong.

Once again, sorry if it has been addressed before. thanks in advanced for pointing me in right direction.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Yea its been talked about.... he said he'll look into it at some point but its a minor issue. If you want to get a good charge... charge with the screen on. always worked for me even on the cappy. SGS2 doesn't have the same battery habits either so don't bother wiping battery stats.

When did you get your sgs2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] IlluminatedOne:
Thanks buddy, yes I know about battery in SGS2 being much better than SGS series. But still I wanted to charge it while phone is shut down.

I got it Black Friday from Radio Shack.. got a good deal there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I never turn my phone off so I've never noticed any problems. No real point in charging with the phone off.

I've got it fixed (by yanking Interactive back out - this is why I don't like messing with alternative governors, they often have wacky pitfalls! And this one was even in the stock source - however it was disabled, clearly for a reason.)

However I already had some other commits in that I wanted to test more before releasing the next update. So probably in a day or two.

Entropy, this is sort of a noob question, but when I check kernel version in my About Phone it says .7 even though I just installed your newest kernel (from the 23rd). I'm running UnNamed 1.3.1, so I guess what I'm askin' is did I screw up? Or is that correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Per the changelog, I stopped providing .14 builds a few releases ago due to a significant identified regression.

About Phone is pretty worthless for identifying kernels - it just shows the base kernel revision which rarely changes. CPUSpy gives much more info (build date, build host, etc.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] IVIadness:
And also in cpuspy is will say something like adood@quadmonkey or something like that, if you see that your running entropy kernel.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
A question on this:

What impact will this have in layman's terms? I seem to remember that SD cards used to be called MMC cards, which would imply that this change could result in our phones using a bit less power when doing I/O to the internal and/or external memory storage.

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Don't know - probably not. I've heard it improves audio quality in certain situations (may be primarily headphones) - That's why I want to wait a few days to see if people notice any audio regressions.

Should work - but I haven't used Mobile Odin yet. I was too busy with family stuff when Chainfire was looking for more testers on IRC.

Yes - our internal storage is EMMC, aka Embedded MMC, which is basically a soldered-in SD card (but in form factor it's a chip - electrically it's almost indistinguishable from an MMC/SD card as far as the CPU is concerned though).

In theory this should let EMMC power be shut off more often - in practice - ????. Needs more testing. It's not likely to be a regression (otherwise it wouldn't be a mainline Linux kernel patch that received only positive feedback on the relevant mailing list), but it may not actually have any signiifcant improvement.

This is why I usually only commit a few patches at a time then wait at least a few days - If I introduce a regression, I want it to be easy to determine what put it in.

Anyone care to comment on how the new kernel stacks up against siyah's kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] autonomous-inc:
Well, I just ran Quadrant. I got ~5000, but I saw Siyah's kernel getting upwards of 6000. I don't really feel like changing to anyone else's kernel though simply because I tried a couple other kernels beforehand and it really effed my phone up. Haha.

PS - I'm using Entropy's 12/1 kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kevtn8:
What governor and frequency did you test it with? Also what rom are you currently using? On Entropy's DD (v11/23/11), only once did I managed to get slightly over 5000 on quadrant OC to 1.6 on conservative governor (the only stable governor for me on 1.6). Using Unnamed with Entropy and now Siyah kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
People with Siyah seem to be getting higher RAM results in Antutu, so I'm looking into that.

I've also seen higher SD card speed results - need to figure out why.

They also typically report higher Database I/O results, consistent with fsync disabled - either this is the higher SD card speed, or the kernel has disabled fsync by default (dangerous).

There might just be some filesystem cache tweaks in the initramfs I need to mess with for the filesystem stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
This is a portable device with a very limited battery, but no one seems to be mentioning what kind of battery performance they are getting with that kernel. Honestly, I don't care what scores a kernel can get on a benchmark if a single charge won't last me throughout the day.

Take care
