For those unaware it stands for back light notifications, which uses the 4 capacitive led lights on the bottom of phone (just beneath the samsung logo) for notifications.
I have already searched on the epic forums and it seems that none of the kernels have the bln mod. Even though we already have a red led notification at the top of our phones, I think it would be a cool addition to the kernels. Our current led light stops flashing after x amount of time, where as the bln mod is customizable to continue flashing as long as you would like. Also, when you are charging your phone the red led is useless and a constant red.
I really can't do anything but to make a request for the devs to include it in their kernels. You guys can choose to include it or not. If not, why?
Bump? I'm really interested in this.

I agree 10char
What they said that's always been my main gripe when charging. I never know when I have a call or anything always have to turn the screen on. So that would be awesome

I guess not as many people are interested/aware of this to keep the thread bumped to the main page to get the attention of some of the devs. Bummer
I'm interested in this as well.
Bumping for other peoples interests in this.

This would be great as I hate the annoying red light while charging. I use my phone as a alarm/bedside clock so a bright red led is stupid. I guess there are apps that I might be able to use to change the led but I haven't tried that yet. Using the leds at the bottom would be great.
My girlfriend has the samsung fascinate, since that galaxy s phone doesn't have a regular led, almost all the kernels over in that forum have the bln mod to it. It is supposed to be portable to all galaxy s phones. Bumping to the first page to see if we can get some more people interested enough in the hopes of the devs looking into this and maybe spending some of their time integrating it into the kernels.

Hey folks, I figured I'd bring my question to the big brains here at XDA. My question is, is it possible to enable a blinking green indicator light to let me know when I've got a new email/voicemail/message/whatever while the phone is plugged in to charge? I'm on VZW, running the Impact Mighty Rom. The xv6800/tytn I had previously to this phone worked in that fashion. Just wondering if anyone else had this same issue.
MODS, feel free to move if in the wrong area.

Sorry, I know I seen this the other day and I can't find it, and I'm tired of using the broke search on xda, so where is the thread talking about how to get magenta to work, because I need 3 colors, 1 for text, 1 for not charged, 1 folr charged...

Not sure where the post is, but I'm pretty sure you get magenta by choosing custom color for your notifications, and then setting both blue and red to zero, and green to 255.

To bad I can't get magenta to light up while charging like I thought would, stays red until its fully charged, but won't change colors when I get a text, so its back to blue...

please thank me by clicking the thank button. I think I am on a new build then I was before, now i am on 2.3.3 maybe some stuff got better/fixed for the led's.
I also highly recomend the following shiza for the epic:
root uninstaler
go ex future theme dock animation= sphere
ef02
stardunk
winamp
setCPU gov. set to performance (screw overclocking, I am a professional flasher/QA tester, none of the overclocking kernals I have found are worth a damn. Ive tried them all, they all seem to degrade the OS/programs after a few weeks( de-odexed or not, nor what file system). The last one I tried was pretty stable, it stated it ran at 72 fps, I never saw it, but I beleived it. Because while overclocked, smart bench said I was just about normal benches (like with a stock kernal) so the 72 fps might be effecting that? i got my epic up to the 1.45, was kinda cool. Its funner on the PC where it counts, im flying at 4.7ghz with my gtx580 .
So this is going to be kind of hard to explain and I also can't post pics because you won't be able to see what I'm talking about. Just wondering if anyone else experiences this or if it's just my GSII. So anyway, to my point...I've noticed that my screen when I am looking at a dark background like black it seems to have very fine lines in it and isn't a solid black...more like a dark dark slate grey color. Also, when the screen backlight is on and the screen is black I notice these dark black patches or blobs. It's hard to tell these things unless you really look at it. Just using the phone normally one wouldn't notice. Just wondering though if it's the ROM or the phone itself. I'm running the T-Mo official ICS rooted ROM posted by Mr.X. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply...so on the last page as of now they're asking for thread to be closed? Scrolling through the post I don't see a fix or anything. Does one exist or are we beat?

After playing with it for a week now I can more or less confirm that the LED flash in our Note II is not as strong as I had on my S II. The images taken with flash at complete dark is not as bright as before. Say it's decreased by some 20%.
What about you guys? Any workaround or that's how it is?
TIA.
i've still got my sgs2 and i'd say you're right. not a massive difference but enough to notice.
Can you not see it or something? I don't think anyone needs a 1000 watt notification LED, no?
no, but it shouldn't be a downgrade. a pic taken with the sgs2 in low light will be better than the note 2 due to the note not having a bright enough flash. hell, the note 2 might not even take the photo as it could be too dark to focus properly.
it's not huge, but it is an issue.

So it is an issue then. Hardware most probably? They changed the led unit or something?
Sent from my GT-N7100
or maybe the power supplied to it? who knows. either way it's not huge (for me). in 18 months i never took a photo with my sgs2 where i needed the flash so unlikely to bother me. i used it as a torch tbh since i'm weird and don't change lightbulbs in my house
Okay, but it shouldn't be like this. I mean it's a premium phone after all. It should've been as strong as S2, if not stronger.
Btw- When you use it as torch, is it bright enough like S2, or you notice the dimness there too?
Sent from my GT-N7100
that's how i tested it when i read ths thread. there's a diff.
Yup, right. Coming from S3, I can tell that its not as strong as S3 led flash. Not cool at all.. Dont know why Samsung design it this way ? ..

You should probably get it to a computer repair shop or if possible, Samsung. With or without warranty.
You don't wanna mess with the hardware so quickly even if you nearly know what you are doing :good:

For some reason, the flash is not full strength with stock samsung widgets (assistive light) Download app called "led light." Night and day difference.

Correction.. The led flash is very strong. Just use any third party app like tiny flashlight & led and see the difference. Samsung have set it at a lower intensity when used with stock torch widget.

Nope, it's still weaker than S3 or S2. And I don't think the the bright LED which comes out by using a third party app is same when you use it for camera flash, it's always weaker.

So far, after flashing Hypermod rom based on 4.2, the camera flash certainly seems alot brighter than when on sammy roms, I personally think that samsung did this on purpose for whatever reason

Hello,
I've been googling for days in order to avoid a repost out of respect for the community and to avoid redundancy, but my searches have yielded inconclusive results, with varying answers. Additionally, I couldn't find one in this particular subsection of the forum.
My problem stemmed from using Cyanogenmod while the screen is hot. I was texting on maximum brightness while also downloading several files so the entire AOSP messaging app got imprinted on the screen. The keyboard is faint but noticeable. I had a samsung epic 4g before this with similar problems that went away after I completely stopped usage and turned in on one day. The one on my old Galaxy SI was much more severe and visible from reasonable distance. This one is faint but enough to bother me.
Some searches said the handful screen burn in fix will help, other threads say I should just replace my device (I hope not to go through the hassle of that one) and others say that I should leave a white screen on and a few other searches say that such problems do not exist.
If this is a repost I apologize. All help appreciated.
First, have you shut the device off and let it cool down? If not, that could fix the issue. If that doesn't fix the issue, download LCD Test from the market, set it on the white screen, making sure that you keep the backlight on, and let that run for several hours. Sounds like a pain, but it can potentially fix the issue. There are other methods, but try these two first and if they don't work, let me know and we can try something else.

Never had that issue or seen a phone with that issue. never even had anyone come into the Tmo store I work at with that issue. Sounds to me that if you have had it on your past 3-4 phones maybe you should look at adjusting the way your using them.
As far as fixing it. Do the white screen thing or get it replaced

That's odd since this is a fairly common issue among those who use AOSP keyboard. To be frank I had my ex's name burn in on the screen as well because we messaged so much. Poetic justice perhaps.
I have successfully returned the phone and gotten a new titanium grey one. Thank you both.
