Why do i have to use an App for calendar and call notifications?

Isnt this a standard thing on the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drowne:
thank you very much, your app is working like a charm!

I LOVE your work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mikelyon:
I disagree with putting this mod with supercurio lagfix.. It has no relation with it and people (like me) who are using other solutions like noled probably want to keep a hand on customising their phone and not to be forced to use tweaks even if they are great.

By the way nice job !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bunt82:
Hi!

Great App!

Also awesome update with these little icons.

Do you think it would be possible to create some themes to these notifications?

Just some ideas:

1) Pac Man running about hunting Telephone\Email\SMS\MMS etc icons

(could be a variation on space invaders as well :) )

2) Zoom out icon. Starts Full screen size and diminishes every 2-3 seconds in size. looped.

3) Different coloured Icons based on who's phone call you missed.

Keep on coding!

btw in Russia (my Motherland) it is an Official Programmers day. So Yay to you all !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JaGuR:
Wrong Notification App my friend ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 0logramma:
So if I understand correctly with "Project Voodoo" does not work .. right? :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jugster:
Your statement makes no sense. How would you propose then that people use voodoo and notification fix? Both use modded kernels.

In an ideal world there would be a "kitchen" of kernel fixes, the you can just cook up whatever features you'd want!

/J
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mikelyon:
Well not every one wants both tweaks. If we push the argument so we can also ask to add OC, battery icon and so on.....

So yes you're right, a kitchen should be a good idea, but at the moment I don't thing launching several update.zip on your phone is so complicated and long to do....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cutefox:
i agree with jugster.. i also wants the this notification instead of noled.. i find this one more useful (never fails to notify me everytime) and for sum reason more battery easy as well (no offence for noled developer).. and we cant have both voodoo kernel with this kernel currently at the same time.. would be sane for this to be included for those ppl like us.. unless there is a way like jugster says to cook em together easily by us.. if there is by all means we would be happy either way..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oligan44:
Thank you for all !

To Upgrade RC1 -> RC3, do i have to uninstall RC1 ? Or just apply the RC3 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
No, u dont need to uninstall. Just copy (overwrite) ur /sdcard/update.zip, restart into recovery and apply update.zip. Done!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
I have alreday thought about it while i implemented the liblights, but i dropped that, because it will also turning the backlights on if the battery is almost empty.

I dont know if it is possible to disable the low battery notification in the android settings.

Samsungs call and calendar apps are based on the asop eclair apps, but asop apps do not have led notifications for call and calendar events enabled/implemented.

Solution would be to replace samsungs calendar and call apps by modified apps or just using this app that is already available.

To all the people who are calling this mod an app:

Please, dont call it an app, it is a kernel modification. Changing the kernel is more invasive (and risky) than just installing an app. Please remind that. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
I have build a BacklightNotification kernel with voodoo lagfix enabled.

You can download the update.zip here:

i9000_BacklightNotification_v0.9.8_RC3_with_voodoo_lagfix_beta4.zip (md5: 76f1f4e44d1b639fe513d79d275a7697)

I can not give support for the voodoo lagfix itself, if you expect any issues related to the voodoo lagfix post it here:

Discuss about Project Voodoo / lagfix, color or on irc on #project-voodoo , on Freenode network.

And since my time is limited, dont expect new rebuilds for the voodoo lagfix promptly after the release of a new voodoo beta.

You may have already noticed, that i have dropped the addition for A2SD or mimocan lagfix support for v2. The reason is, that i'm only willing to build for one lagfix extra kernel images.

Btw, i have also dropped the addition of a flashing feature for v2.

The reason is that this would require to modify the touchkey controller firmware and that would consume time which i dont have. And the second reason is, that it is really risky to update a controller firmware and i dont want to be responsible for any damaged phone.

But i will add the possibility to disable/enable backlight-notifications in v2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
That is exactly what I've been waiting for!

no lag + notification diode

This makes SGS usable.

Thank you very much!

Since you have limited time, if u provide sources, supercurio or (Voodoo team) would take it from here?

(just an idea, of course its all your decision :) )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aceman0455:
first let me say this is awesome. Id love to use it but when i tried i got stuck in the bootload and had to nandroid backup. is this stable for the captivate. Im using one click to JF6>ODIN3 JH7>SRE 1.3.1c> EXT 2 tats lagfix>a natification bar mod and a battery icon mod. is there any reason this shouldn't work???? or was it a fluke that it got stuck in bootload.

Installed 'i9000_BacklightNotification_v0.9.8_RC3_with_voodoo _lagfix_beta4.zip' over previous voodoo beta 4 install, works great! Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fighting4fun:
=(

for me the Voodoofix + BacklightNotification is not working =( i just copy the update.zip in my intern SD-Card and apply it in Recovery... the lagfix is working (Quadrant around 1800) but no Notification =( Whats wrong? My lights.default is around 5 kb but the lights.default in the update.zip is around 5 kb too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
Im checking that, i ve recompiled the liblights.

It is indeed now 5 kb.

Edit: Could you please tell me what owner/group and what permissions your lights.default.so has set?

Have the New notification with voodoo, but since install I have a frezze all 20 minutes. Have to take out battery for reset

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fobas001:
Just overwrited voodoobeta2 with voodoo4+notifications, works great, thank you so much!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fighting4fun:
Ok it works... when you install the voodoo first and then you install the files from this Thread it works o.O becaus when i install only your files then only the lagfix work...

sry for my bad english XD

Edit: The colorfix (that is in the beta4) doesnt work do you have change anything?

Edit2: I have no SMS notification... when i turn sms on in MissingCall then i have a bad Icon in the Taskbar (ok i have 2 Icon Handcent and MissingCall... but the notificationBacklight ist mostly off)

Edit3: ahh ok when i turn the Handcent notify off and the stock notify on it works :S not good =(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
Only the voodoo lagfix is included.

Handcent has an extra option for led notification.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fighting4fun:
yes i know but when i turn the led notify in handcent on the backlight notification is not working =(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Joans:
That should work because that's what I had to do to get it working. I seem to remember someone saying you had to set the color of led option to white, but mine's still set to blue and is working fine.

If you click on test notification and then turn your screen off (without clicking on ok), do the buttons light up then?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
Hmm, maybe there is a little bug in my liblights, but with led color white it should work as stated above. (red: 255 green: 255 blue:255)

edit: no bug, handcent is the problem, see the other posts for solution.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fighting4fun:
If you click on test notification and then turn your screen off (without clicking on ok), do the buttons light up then?

YES (with blue) but not when i get a SMS =(

eh lol? ok whenn i get a sms and have the handcent notify on it blink (flash) one time and then its off

System Monitor

I now have with the voodoo fix a system monitor on the right Side.

What is it?

how do I get rid of it??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
If you have voodoo lagfix already installed you should take the bln + voodoo lagfix package.

System monitor? I dont know what you could mean.

Edit: just saw your screenshot, that may be caused by voodoo lagfix. Plaese report that over here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=774500 or on irc on #project-voodoo on Freenode network.

Any chance for BackLightNotification with ONLY Voodoo Lagfix without

?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
It is already lagfix-only.

no voodoo color

no voodoo brightness

only the voodoo lagfix
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hello ^^ i think it's more related to the unofficial ROM you use, you may have enabled the system monitor in Spare Parts ;)

Obviously nothing related to Voodoo nor BackLightNotitications^^

I don't really like the light fix for 100%, but I do find the lowest light level more suitable for bedtime usage. :D Pretty please? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ludow:
I failed to restore my standard settings back. Might be just me. Or Voodoo/BLN.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
I do not give support for voodoo, if you have bln + voodoo on your phone you shall report you problems over there.

Bln itself is stable. If you see any weird behavior that is not related to notifications, than it is likely caused by voodoo. Voodoo is declared beta...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sunwee:
yes, i support this. i find the light fix useful for it's lowest light level too. hope you'll find the time to add this in. thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supraboi:
this mod bricked my phone. i have the voodoo 4 installed. now i get stuck at the galaxy S screen....wtf

Roger that my friend. :) I installed BLN with Voodoo. Tried to uninstall with i9000_android_2.1_remove_backlight_notification. No support needed anyway then. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fane1:
Instaled today and so far so good running with Ryanza lag fix.Thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
BLN comes with its own modifyed kernel, if you have voodoo kernel installed and dont disable voodoo lagfix before flashing this kernel the voodoo kernel gets overwritten and thus the ext4 partition can not be read anymore. check out raspdeeps oc/uv kernel there is a version that features voodoo plus BLN i think
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cantIntoCode:
Same! running great. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bajo76:

Hello!

I've applied the JM8 with 3-botton fix from Richtofen http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8191176&postcount=124

What about the compatibility of your patch with this firmware? update.zip will apply any modification to bootloader?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
No, you should wait for a release of voodoo project with bln integrated.

Should be compatible, but you should apply first the 3-button fix.

Bln replaces only the kernel and one file in /system.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SysTem-X:
hi neldar, would applying BLN affect the upgrading process in Kies? Just asking as I am not sure if Kies would allow me to further upgrade my firmware when 2.2 is released via Kies with the modified files that needs BLN to work, thanks! My phone is rooted and has nothing else installed (no lag fix).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
Bln normal (without voodoo lagfix) should not affect the kies update process.

After the update to 2.2 bln will be removed, so you have to reinstall it when bln for android 2.2 (froyo) is available.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Thanks for the reply :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SysTem-X:
awesome, just ran update.zip and it works :) just too bad that we need to use a 3rd party app to get BLN to work, would be nice if default had the feature, thanks neldar! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] diamond69:
is there any chance of getting a version of this with voodoo + nilfs2?! that would be great!!:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
I just had a look into the froyo sources and if samsung did not heavily modify the asop phone app nor the calendar app, we dont need a 3rd party app in froyo.

No.

Please check if the lights.default.so in /system/lib/hw/ has 5420 byte and that it says "2.6.29 BackLightNnotification@neldar #140" under Settings->About Phone->Kernel version.

If the lights.default.so is not right: DO NOTHING, please. :)

I want to check why it is not installed right.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] srkonus:
Hi,

thanks for your reply. The lights.default.so has a size of 5424 bytes. My kernel version is: 2.6.29 root@SE-S603 #2

I saw the big letters when i installed the update.zip so i thought that everything was ok.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
Both things did not change, thats weird.

Please tell me what version for pda is on your phone? (dial *#1234# to see version)

If it is android 2.1 (<=JM8), you should re-download the update.zip, flash it again and check after the reboot if the kernel version + lights.default.so changed.

it seems to be installed correctly but the soft keys are not glowing when i receive a google mail.

Is there another thing i had to do?

kind regards

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
No, if correctly installed the backlight should be enabled, but only when the screen is off.

You can also test backlight notification with the "Calendar notifier" app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] srkonus:
Mmhh,

nothing notification - not by a missing call or a gmail.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zibiksior:
Neldar I have question to you. Can you tell me what version of BLN is in OC kernel v b4.2? I asked in threat about this kernel but they said that they don't know and I should ask here. Eventualy how to update to latest version.

Thanks, zibiksior.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
You dont need to update, i did not change the lights.default.so since initial release. Only the size is reduced from around initial 15 kb to 5420 byte in RC3.

So, with my current configuration (see my signature), I need to download this mod (not the captivate one) and put a disable-lagfix file in my /sdcard/voodoo folder and reboot. After it converts back to stock, I reboot in recovery and apply the BLN. Do I have it right so far?

Now this is where I'm confused. Do I just remove the disable-lagfix file in my /sdcard/voodoo folder and reboot? Or will I need to reinstall one of the packages listed in my sig?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Joans:
Hi Neldar, I love this mod and will definitely be donating some money to your cause soon as you've single handedly made up for the lack of any leds on my Galaxy S.

Anyway, I've already asked this in the other relevant thread, but is there any way to add your backlight mod to the kernel posted in this thread?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
No captivate support, see first post.

Link, please.

No, but you can use my bln_with_voodoo release, that is technically equivalent to your request .
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Joans:
I was using that kernel, but I read about battery problems with voodoo on certain firmwares because the kernel source that samsung has released isn't the same as the source that they've used to build the later firmwares (like JM8, which I'm running). From what I read in that other thread, the kernel in that thread is a stock version of JM8 with the voodoo lagfix applied so there's no compatibility issues. I've tried it, and I think that the battery life seems to be a bit better, but it might just be my mind playing tricks on me. Are you saying that your kernel should have no battery issues with firmware JM8? I think I'll go back and do some proper testing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
I'm using bln without voodoo and i do not notice any battery drain.

But i have included the proprietary kernel modules of JM2 in the normal bln package. In the voodoo package are the official "gpl" versions of samsung (from early July).

So it maybe that the kernel modules in the voodoo package are not energy-efficient. And i'm not willing to change that, i will not change anything in the voodoo ramdisk.
