I would like to know this too, am very interested in this..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Thorgoth:
although version 0.10.17 was working perfectly for 2 weeks i had some probs from yesterday..

BLN would not work at random pace...

could miss a sms or e-mail or call after rebooting or turning screen on and off again

...so i updated to 0.10.26

now my e-mails and sms are working but calls not..

really strange....
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Volcacius:
2 possible features for the paid version:

-integration with locale, which is quite similar to tasker.

-single blinking (is it possible?) e.g. only left button blinking for texts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nrg:
I just installed the latest free version and pushed "BLN's by apps" I got a message "Only available in pro (paid) version". So i purchased it from the market and pushed the button again. Now it says "Not available yet". Maybe this message could be shown also in the free version? Anyways, no worries about the 0.5 euro, glad i could donate a small amount to this nice project.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] NunxPT:
I just bought the pro version. A fair contribution to neldar's great work. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
Your purchase is not done for nothing (or for already existent features like in the free version). ;)

The missing/remaining functions will be introduced in future releases. The scheduler shall be finished this week, for example.

Missed call notification doesn't work! Please try to fix this problem ;) .

Otherwise, thank you for your excellent job(and for your free app[i can't buy apps in my country :(] ) .

I have 2.2 JPM Universal lagfix, BLN ON !

Thank you for your fast response!

So,first of all, i have to activate BLN in the recovery then i install this app ?

The app could not work without activating BLN in the recovery ?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] NunxPT:
No, you can activate it using this app.

"BLN is disabled by default in this build, you need to activate BLN by BacklightNotification settings app OR by cwm recovery." @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=813389

in fact I just finished flashing XWJPA and installed the app before installing BLN, but I couldn't activate it, of course :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] aladin6:
The information is well-arrived ;) !

By the way, any plans to include a missed call notification(without using Missed Call application) ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
Of course, i will add that feature.

Please have a look at the first post for other upcoming features.

Just bought the pro version to support :) Looking forward to missed call notification.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] crypta:
@neldar

today I realized, that my calendar notification didn't trigger BLN. ok, so I got into BLN... "update" ..??...mmhh, ok.

clicked within the updated free version.. and.. became in most menu items the message "only supported in pro version"... OK... efforts are worth to be paid for.. got the pro version.. clicked the same buttons... and felt tricked!

AND THAT IS A NO GO!

let me clarify:

I would have gladly bought a donation ticket.. np... or a pro... whatever. I did so on all apps I regular use.

BUT let free version users believe it IS in the pro version.. is just a pretty bad move!

I still consider to revert the deal - on the other hand... I use your app and it is ok, that you get at least some out of the effort. but the way you made me buy this... absolute not acceptable!

as you can see some pages ealier, I already posted in this thread, as to see @ my account data, I am here around for quite a while - so you could say, I should have known. and now imagine people, seeing your free app, clicking some (most) menuitems, which anouncing the pro version.. they'll buy it.. and then... NOT YET IMPLEMENTED. as there is no warranty in life... they only got what they paid for.. and this is.. nothing.. no more function neither a good feeling. most of these people don't read on XDA... they want an app, and they visit the market (if you won't think so, too; you just could have used XDA as your only donation plattform ;) ). don't get me misunderstood, but I think you damage yourself the most, if you don't communicate OPEN and DIRECT with your potential customers. and soon as there is money, unssen of the amount, there are expectations - a simple rule which always is true.

think about it and tell me: which way would you go, if you were me?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
Simple answer?

Cancel the order.

I dont have a problem with a cancellation of an order, because of that.

But i do have a problem with people who cannot wait or even read!

If you have read this thread you may have seen that the scheduler is announced for this week....

Is it my fault, that you cannot read the development sign in the app?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] crypta:
you didn't get my point!

my question was a rethoric one. 1st I don't care for 50cents, 2nd as I said: good work needs to pay off... in one way or another - and for most people money is helpfull.

back to my point: maybe you consider, that I am the only one acting so.

but I promise you: I am not.

as shown some page earlier, I am not for sure.

not improving your communication will create bad feelings @ your customers. and if you care or not - as soon as you offer a payed app... the people care.

I am in social network business for more than 10 years and I doubt that things have changed by this day.

all is based on another conclusion: people don't study the ****ing manual before complaining - some do, some don't.

if you want to blame me for my post... go on, I don't care - you gave the app out of your controll a long time ;).

if you reconsider my words - and create your own understanding of this topic, the chances are great that there will be a difference for the good.

that's all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] WinJunkie:
Just asking

but don't you have to share the app source if your on xda? gnu or something?

I too would much rather have the option of donating and not a forced sale
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] slaman:
Out of curiosity... any ideas if this is BLN related?

I plug in my phone, turn the screen off, and it automatically turns on when a notification is received... most of the time, it stays on!

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bigriot:
I'm willing to pay for the pro version but would there be some other way to pay other than through the Android Market? I ask you this because I most likely would be replacing my SGS sometime in the next 1~2 years at which point I wouldn't be needing the BLN app anymore and I'd rather prefer to not have it pop up in the download section of the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] KLoNe1:
Thanks for replying neldar.

Anyone keen to try & get 10k together in donations? :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
Nearly impossible, the firmware of the touchkey controller automatically enables the lights once you hit the touchkeys. It is possible to disable the lights immediately after the key press is handled by the kernel driver, but that would span a little time frame where the lights are on.

You can use a better sms app (like gosms) or you need a modified services.jar (only deodexed roms), you need to search for one here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1080529

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] komoornik:
So, still the only option to dismiss led notification ( especially for missed calls ) is to hit status bar? I'm using SGS2 Unlock Screen, and it gets me to missed calls directly.

I've tried legacy mode, but then leds just turn off after one on/off screen. Plus i can touch the buttons then and they will turn on.

nope that did not work...

either 0.9 nor 0.10.17 or 0.10.26 seems to work for calls and yes i re-installed each one of them and rebooted phone

i can live with that for now but it's strange cause i did not change anything

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Gawis:
this is not going to help....
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
Thats right, that is the correct behavior for the test notification. That the leds turn on if you touch them in suspend mode, that is not normal, sounds like a kernel bug, what kernel are you using?

The call application resp. the notificationmanager of the nexus s (at least grj22) has a bug that break any led notfication after you have received a missed call.

I have spent almost 6 hours to find that annoying bug and i can not fix that by a workaround. The call app is too deep intermeshed with the notificationmanager.

You can only avoid that bug by immediately dismissing missed call notifications.

Could please tell me more details?

Rom, (phone), kernel and may be control app version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
I have uploaded bln control pro v0.11.7 to the android market:

added: status view/screen

fixed: many minor bugs

modified: test lives only one screen-off period for all android versions

modified: minor gui changes

modified: 2nd re-design of the blink service

removed: a pot of spaghetti code :)

removed: legacy led notification option

Happy bug hunting.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] komoornik:
I'm using TalonDev 0.3.1.

When it was not in legacy mode everything was pretty much nice - the only problem was that i had to open the notifications bar - it's not possible to detect i checked the call log ?

Now, in the newest version it's like this:

i got a missed call and the leds are on

i turn on screen and turn it off - leds blink for a milisecond, and it would be nice but i can touch keys and they turn on again

And if i touch them i need to turn on and off screen again to get rid of it.

If it's kernel related, i would love to have this legacy mode back as a temporary fix.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] komoornik:
Sorry for quoting my own post, but it doesn't seems like a kernel problem.

I just flashed the Dark Core 2.7.3 now and it does the same thing - i can turn on the leds just after screen is off.

I need the legacy mode back as a temporary solution :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
The legacy mode will never come back, that was just a test to see how people are able to handle it. And a great number of people did it wrong.

I have just tested DarkCore 2.7.3 and TalonDev 0.3.1 on my i9000 and I cant reproduce what you have reported. Are you sure that this problem still exists in v0.11.10?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] komoornik:
Yes, i'm on the newest version.

Perhaps I should try to revert those patched files meant for JVP?

Or is there any other way to somehow reset the whole BLN thing?

To be sure, that's how it is for me:

1. i got a missed call - leds are on

2. i turn on the screen and clear or do not clear the notification ( doesn't matter )

3. i turn off the screen

4. leds blink for miliseconds, i can touch the keys and they turn on

5. to get rid of it i need to turn on and off screen again
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
Well, it is worth a try to revert the patched services.jar to the unmodified original. I'm curious about the result.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] komoornik:
Yeah.

Just unziped services.jar from the CWM package of my ROM and put it ine the /system/framework and it's working like it should :eek:

I don't know if bln works for standard SMS app, coz I'm using Handcent anyway.

So perhaps we should warn that those modified files meant for JVP are screwing things up :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
Atm, i dont see any reason to startle somebody, you are the only one so far who complained and if there going to be more complaints about this, then you have already found a solution. ;) May be it is more reasonable to modify the touchwiz sms app, because that is the only app distributed by samsung that does not work.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
The app remains the same for the SGS2, you will need just the bln kernel and liblights for the i9100.

Btw, i am searching for translators for French, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Swedish. If someone would like to volunteer to translate into one of these languages you can do that at crowdin.net.

anybody knows why?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
I consider to add this feature and please dont ask for an eta, i am currently busy with the translations.

Correct.

Your rom ships a buggy sms app, either replace it (I suggest Go SMS) or use a modified services.jar (not recommend).
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] BusterSG:
but i strongly believe the sms is the stock sms that can with SGS1.

so you mean the BLN app doesnt work with SGS1 stock sms service ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rebel2k:
@neldar : if you need a French translator I may help you! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
The BLN app is only the user interface for the bln mod settings (and it controls its status by scheduler, etc.). Led notifications are always triggered by the applications explicitly through the android notification api.

The stock sms app of the sgs1 has a bug. It activates the screen while it receives a sms and tries to trigger the notification led. That is the reasons why it does not work. And therefore you need to use another sms app or replace the services.jar.

Nice to hear that, just join the project at crowdin.net.

Hi,

Great APP!

I've got a question. How can I have the lights go on for android calendar notification?

FYI I've got Bionix 1.3.1 rom with touchwiz + Overstock 1.5.2 kernel.

Thanks!

Ps- Is there an error in stating that blinking led will consume MORE battery?

shouldn't blinking consume LESS than constantly lit??
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] BusterSG:
so u mean when a sms is received, SGS can only do 1 of these 2 actions? Either

- activates the screen

OR

- LED notification

and by default, it activates the screen hence no LED notification.

---

i noticed that when a gmail is received, the screen does not activate hence there IS LED notification. if thats the case, do i have any services.jar to flash via CWM for JV9 2.3.3 or i REALLY need to install 3rd party app like (GO SMS)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bexem:

I've dl the pro version and the blinking led works for me for missed call/sms/emails, but does not work for the calendar notification.

Has this feature not been added as stated in the first page of this post when BLN was first introduced?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
I suggest to use the "Calendar Notifier" to get led notifications for calendar events.

That is not a mistake that blinking consumes more energy than static lights.

Blinking detains the cpu to go into suspend mode and utilizes the cpu, but static lights does not do that.

I recommend to replace the sms app, because replacing the services.jar could introduce more bugs.

I dont get the question.

See above for a solution for calendar notifications.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] convotutor:
Thank you for clarifying the LED battery consumption issue.

Also is there a plan for future calendar notification?

I'm partial to having least no. of apps. I would prefer that one app can do multiple tasks instead of having multiple apps for each tasks.

Is there any way to configure BLN to active only for missed calls and messages?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Vampiro2000:

I bought your app but i can't update to last version. Both market and the app say that there is an update available....
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
There is no way to block an app from issuing a led notification, you can only disable notifications from with-in apps. You could either disable the mail notifications or you could use the timeouts.

Market download problems? Not my métier... You should have a look at the "known issues" of the android market. The issue about the download problems is listed there for months (or already years?).

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] BenKranged:
On the subject of kernel module.

If you ever figure it out your sales and income might go up 10x. I would imagine 90% of users that buy apps on the android market use stock kernels. Most of them probably don't even know what a kernel is. But they would still find bln notification useful.

Instead of the 353 5 star reviews this app has now it could have 3503 or more.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
May be you forgot to turn off the notification in the stock sms app or did not disable the option to turn on the screen if a sms is received (e.g. go sms).

The screen has to be off, otherwise a led notification can not be triggered.
