[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MasK:
Just got your pro app mainly for the call notification.

My major problem with BLN is the fact that my email notifications (Yahoo app or stock app) turn on LEDs with status bar notifications. I get push emails every now and then.. and I want an icon to be displayed at my status bar.. BUT I don't want LEDs to be lighted up.

I tried Yahoo, gmail and TW stock app. Any ideas? There's no settings to separate status notification and LED notification....

I like the BLN concept... but I gotta disable email notification completely if I don't want LEDs to be lighted up. Help pls.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
If you disable all notifications in the Tw email app, the led notification is also disabled.

The yahoo and gmail should have options to disable the led, if not you should use a better email app like k9.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MasK:
Thanks for the reply.

The thing is, I want the status bar notification.. but not the rest. If I turn it off, all notifications are off.. and that defeats the purpose of having push mail notification.

I want an email app that allows me to control status bar notification and led notification separately.. Lemme check out K9.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MasK:
Allrighty..

Checked out K9 and it DOES separate all notifications (status, sound, LED).. so that's what I want. Thanks for the recommendation.

Right now, my gmail push works well on it.. but not Yahoo. Lemme read up more on it and I'll be on my way to enjoy BLN! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
Activate the Led Option in the notifications setting of GoSMS, BLN works with it.

Say thanks if it's help

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] njuskalo:
Don't know why but i cant purchase the pro version on my Galaxy S, it says that my device is not supported... Does anyone know a way to fix this?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
It’s done, when it’s done...;)

Which Galaxy S phone do you own?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] njuskalo:
How can i see that?

I think i have the regular european galaxy s gt-i9000 ... with darky's rom v9.3 and voodoo kernel.

I'm now certain that i have gt-i9000, just googled a bit and found out that there are bunch of different Galaxy S-es in US, didnt know that before...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
Does the market say your device is not supported or the bln control pro app?

If it is is the control app:

The problem are the many models of the Samsung phones, i setup a database with model names that are "officially" supported by bln kernels.

Samsung decided to release not only a GT-I9000 but also a GT-I9000ares, GT-I9000B, GT-I9000M, GT-I9000T, GT-I9008, GT-I9088 and a lot more. Theses models are actually branded or very slightly modified and that means I can not guarantee that these models will be completely functional with any of the bln kernels. You can flash a bln kernel, but you may face problems like the camera or gps is not working, for example.

Tasker Plugin

Anything new on the Tasker/Locale plugin-Front?

I'd love to buy the Pro-App, but its useless to me without the ability to control it out of Tasker.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Wickedd:
does this app work with a desire hd ? i'm running at CM7..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] strictlyrude27:
+1. This is the only thing keeping me from buying the Pro version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lotherius:
Is there an option in Pro (or another app that works similarly) that will allow me to COMPLETELY TURN OFF the touch button lights? I use my phone a lot in the dark, and honestly I *know* where my keys are and those lights are just blinding. I'd like the option to turn off the lights completely. While it isn't exactly what BLN does, it looks like it could be done in the same way BLN controls the buttons.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bobbel:
Is it possible that the call notification in the Pro Version doesn't work with the call recording modded phone.apk versions?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
The locale/tasker implementation is in progress, but I cant say if it will be already included in the next update nor can I estimate when the next update will be finished as i am rewriting some of the app parts.

No, but I may consider to write a bln driver mod for the desire hd if it gets more requests. But you should know that i give devices that come without any notification led a higher priority.

I considered to added such a feature, but the backlight is automatically activated by the touchkey controller once you press the keys and if then the leds are immediately switched off by the kernel driver the leds may shortly flash.

That may be possible, the missed call detection is only tested with the samsung touchwiz call app.

And at the moment i am planning to separate the call notification from the bln control pro app, because it confuses some people and these people think that the control app triggers the led notifications for all the apps. And as a result these people request to add support for a specific app, but actually the control app dont trigger any led notification (apart from the notification for missed calls). I only decided so far that the separated app for the missed calls will be free.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tiwag:
it works for me fine with the phone.apk version with call recording, which came with Darky's v9.3 ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] brujoand:
Hey Neldar, I haven't seen you for a while on irc, so I thought i'd ask you here. Have you made any headway on bln for cm7? If not what are the obstacles? Anything I can help with?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mchud:
Liveprofile

Just installed Liveprofile. Finally an app to connect with my friends who are lagging behind on Blackberries...

I notice thought that while there is a setting in the app to use the LED for notifications, BLN is not lighting the capacitive buttons when I get a message.

Neldar: Any idea what is going on there?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
Does your app have the capability to change the settings for the led notification, like the color? You may play with them and maybe some combination activates the led.

I discovered that the liblights is differently called on android 2.2, if an app sets the DEFAULT_LIGHTS flag instead of the FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS flag for the notification. I am investigating if this is a feature or a bug. (i guess it is a bug, because android 2.1 and 2.3 behave the same, but different to 2.2.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] djmisi:
Hey bud... can you give me a link to the "hardcore kernel" you were saying that works on the led notifications? I would really appreciate it bud. Just email me: djmisi99@gmail.com.

Much love...Peace brutha \\//

How can I disable BLN for Gtalk? I've bought the Pro version and I want BLN only for calls and SMS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Café King:
The app keeps blinking though I have no notifications. No missed calls or any texts. How can that be? :/

/CK
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
Gtalk should have an option to disable led notifications, if not you could try to disable all notifications in the app. That is the only solution for samsung touchwiz apps, i dont know if the gtalk app is samsung specific, in that case you could also try to replace it with the real gtalk from google.

The notification led(/blinking) can only be activated if there is a notification, that means there must be a notification. You can disable any led notification by opening the status bar / notification screen. If you want to be 100% sure, that there is no notification is active, you could also hit the "clear" button.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] vaddimka:
Can you please be more specific? What menu item I should be looking for? Is it in your Control Pro App or embedded in Gtalk itself?

I noticed the same problem. No notifications, just received a call and answered to it. Touch buttons just went on after a couple of seconds. I unlocked the phone, checked notification bar - nothing. Turned the phone off and leds went on again. It settled down only after I opened empty notification bar. This bug seems to be specific for the pro version, I never had this problem using free version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
I thought that this option is in the Gtalk app, but i just realized, that we are talking about the scrubby samsung gtalk app. In the samsung gtalk you can only disable the led notification by completely disabling notifications.

The reasons is that samsung only removed the option to disable led notifications in the gui, but samsung did not remove it from the code.

Ya, it seems to be a bug, what rom version do you have on your phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] laspecas:
Any Progress on bln for nexus s 9023 slcd? Are there so many differences to 9020?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] vaddimka:
I've decompiled samsung Gtalk App (gtalkservice.apk to be precise, it is the one responsible for notifications). I'm afraid that they removed the option from the code too. Here is small excerpt:

Notification localNotification = new Notification();
int i = localNotification.flags | 0x1;
localNotification.flags = i;

0x1 flag is DEFAULT_LIGHTS according to google specs for Notification.

So, it seems there's no viable option to disable LED notification for samsung gtalk even via config files in /dbdata.

I've tried to find working original google's gtalk for Samsung Galaxy S, but failed.

I'm using Darky's ROM 9.2 with Hardcore's kernel. I'll try to upgrade kernel later, maybe it will solve the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] andreadb:
I have just installed the App, but it does not work on my Nexus S (i9020 UK).

I have the James Bond Kernel with BLN support (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=949292)

When a message arrives, the buttons' lights turn on and off after a second, then they stay off.

I'm using MIUI latest version.

Any suggestion ?

I have bought the pro version and tried more or less every option, but to no avail.

Ciao

Andrea
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
Do you have blinking enabled?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] andreadb:
Yes, I have tried with and without blinking, but the result is the same. When a message arrives the backlight stays on only for one second.

Andrea
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
It should at least work if you enable blinking with the standard timing settings (1 sec for on&off), if that does not help you could check if there is something like a scheduling feature for led notifications in miui. And i got reports that on various roms the led notification will be disabled if the phone falls into sleep mode. That is caused by a very aggressive battery saving strategy of these roms. (imho: that is a useless strategy, bln is designed to save you battery - if you use the static bln lights. ;))

Some good news about BLN for 9023?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] etoy:
hi neldar,

first of all,thanks for this awesome utility! makes my nexus s perfect.

just one question..are the free and pro versions independent?

i actually use 1.0.0 free but i see that pro version is "only" 0.9.8 alpha.

does it work on nexus s? or should i stick with the free one and wait for a new pro?

;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jUsT2eXy:
when will this be available for 2.3.3.?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rhgode:
i'm not sure if there are kernels bln ready.

on another note, whenever i reboot the phone i have to re-enable BLN, because it won't activate on boot. does the pro version solve this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] laspecas:
What Kernel do you use?

Netarchy's Kernel is bln ready
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rhgode:
I'm still on darkys 9.2 using speedmod, 2.2.1, it supports BLN. Maybe I should just reinstall this, might be some of those weird not-saving-settings error.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] gioffon:
I use speedmod kernel for 2.3.3 but bln don't support it
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Thorgoth:
I am using netarchy 1.3.0.2

my nexus s SAMOLED(9020) is unlocked and rooted and just have this custom kernel nothing else such as ROM e.t.c.

i am using the free version (if i make it to work i will buy the pro )

have rebooted phone re-installed app from market but it still does not work
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
The pro and free apps have different versions, because these apps are different. ;)

Does the app show any warning that some component is missing? If not, just enable bln (at the top of the app screen). Sometimes it is necessary to reboot, because the liblights was not loaded.

When is the Software and Kernel for Gingerbread available? The pro Version works excellent on Froyo 2.2.1 but i miss bln for Gb!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Virnik0:
+1 to that. I miss BLN under gingerbread. And because other coders do not want to mess with your code, it's up to you. They do say that porting your patchset to GB kernel source is more then problematic.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DJ_GLiTCH:
The only thing that is stopping me from upgrading to Gingerbread is BLN... I bought the pro version of BLN not too long ago and am very happy with it on Froyo, but I think that many others are also awaiting the Gingerbread version too. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nozerogravity:
Thats true. Many people, including me, are waiting for GB release. It's the only thing imo thats missing in 2.3.3 :/

Please tell us, is the GB version will be available, and if so, then on what stage is the work on releasing it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] fitzpete:
so true. I bought the pro version one month ago and now it looks like Neldar is letting us down. No wonder people are ignoring paid apps on the market...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nozerogravity:
Simple info would be great. Just "yes" or "no". Persons who purchased the application should be answered.

Avoiding the answer is not a good sign I think :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
I moved post at this position, because this better belongs there. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bonsi123:
They were probably disabled because they aren't officially needed by the stock firmware... No notification LED on the actual hardware :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] krasnoff:
I'm sorry if this has already been asked: is it possible to modify the BLN-control app to completely disable all the button backlights? It's very actual for surfing and reading in dim light.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neverborn:
To "simulate" BLN for Gingerbread, one can

-install and activate NoLED for SMS, calls, etc

-Under NoLED settings > Miscellaneous > un-tick "Disable backlight"

This way, one can get the backlights lit up upon receiving a notofication, but he'd also have the tiny jumping dot that is NoLED, so either would be redundant.

Still, HTH. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tehsam:
will the capacitive button backlights stay on using this method? or will they only go on when the text is received and then go off as normal?

also, will it work with all notifications (email, gchat, calendar, etc) or only SMS?

if this will really duplicate BLN functionality I will be moving to gingerbread tonight :)

edit: it looks like the app is known to cause issue w/ SMS popups and I suspect it would also cause problems with my music player's lock-screen widget. I might still give it a shot but it doesn't look like it is really what i'm looking for. also there are widely varying reports about its effect on battery life (some say the same as BLN, others say massive drain....)

regardless I'm looking forward to full BLN support in gingerbread. thanks to neldar and everyone else for their continued hard work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neverborn:
Yes, the button backlights will stay on.

It'll work for all notifications.

I use SMS Popup myself. The screen will turn on showing the popup, then after 6 seconds (in settings, tick the SMS delay option) the screen will "turn-off" and just show the noled notification. If you un-tick disable backlight option as i described, the button backlights will be lit the whole time as well.

Anyway, i prefer just BLN as well :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
I did not yet have a look at the galaxy 3 and 5 phones, but i guess it possible to port bln to this phones.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] swaggerwocky:
Is it possible to incorporate the proximity sensor? For example, don't have BLN flash the LEDs if it's inside a pocket or if the phone is placed face down.

nope...

still not working....

even the test option is not working...

so i guess it's gingerbread optimized but not for nexus s yet?

p.s.

just to make it sure..in the "schedule BLN" i just untick the "on" and "off" options so to be enable all the time right??
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] androkurd:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Thorgoth:

here is a screenshot i got from my nexus s

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/856/blntestnexuss.png/

what is intresting (to me atleast :P) is the "NotificationLedEnable:false"

Is it a problem of crisis sensation 1.6.2 theme?

It was a problem of crysis theme...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] neldar:
The locale/tasker plugin will have options to set the bln-status, blinking status, scheduler status, a fourth not-yet-named status and a notification led trigger.

"NotificationLedEnable" indicates only the current status of the notification led. It can only become true, if the screen is powered off. That means your screenshot shows normal operation of the bln mod.:rolleyes:

The next bln control version will fix the problem with the call and test notification for android >=2.3.

blinking

scheduler

static led

notification led

added: time dialog for blink delay and on/off intervals

added: battery level dialog

added: minimum battery level can be disabled for blinking

added: scheduler enable/disable switch

added: static led timeout

fixed: scheduler dont set status on enabling an event/scheduler

fixed: call & test notification for android >= 2.3

removed: demo code (be honest and buy this app if you like it ;))

Is there not a possibilty to stop the backlight from turning on again after you wake up the phone and not clearing your notifications ????
