Application for flashing 3 led buttons on SGS when missed call or SMS ???

Hello all,
we all know that SGS has no led to inform us about missed calls/sms. Does exist some application which can inform me when I have missed call or received sms by flashing 3 down buttons on SGS??? I know that some Nokia phones have it!
Thank you for help!

We all know it is possible and it's been done a long time ago. It's called BacklightNotification by Neldar, search for BLN in the Market, you need a ROM/Kernel which supports it, if it's not present the BLN app will tell you where to get it from.
After you get it, search for an app called Blinky in this sub forum, it makes the LED's flash when you receive any notification.

thank you for answer! Is it possible by this app also change the intensity of blinking? I mean like rising up/down

check out no led too it works great notifies u for almost anything enjoy.

As in when it pulses? Nope, it can only flash atm. The dev is working on the pulse one, there are certain CPU issues to deal with and we don't have the firmware which controls the backlights, so makes it more difficult. I'm doing some testing for him so hopefully soon
NoLED is good but he wasn't asking about that, still a good app.

BLN Support for SGS2 - With Example.

Hi Dev's
This is not my code, so credits to the owner 'creams'
I happened to stumble on some code yesterday from somebody who have attempted to integrate BLN to his kernel and done it successfully.
I thought the dev's might like to take a look at this one and implement this on their work.
blog : http://creamsnexus.blogspot.com/
git : git://github.com/creams/SGS2-SC02C-BLN-Kernel.git
His kernel was built for the Jap version of GS2.
Cheers!

AdamG has already implemented this into his AOSP ROM and it's working fantasticly, I know another Dev has already implemented it into a ROM just forgot his name. Thanks for pointing us to the source though!

hope that the devs give credit to the fix/implementation.

Ninpo also has putted it into his GIT so maybe they are already aware of it

oh i gave him a pm about it before i posted this.

July 31 in his GIT. You're ahead of him maybe.

I hope we will get it on MIUI and CM7 as well

Don't know about MIUI but for sure on CM7. It's probably low on their to do list but BLN is something they will most definitely support just as they did with the 2X/G2X

im from the past
i didnt check his git commit date. thanks for the correction.

Do i also need to install any app from the market to enable it ?
Answer : Yes

Sorry if this is a noob question but what is BLN?

Back Light Notification
using the led keys for notification.

Yay, my kernel will have BLN support to in the next version, just need to build all the seperate versions
(time to make a "one-for-all" kernel, that goes onto any (stock) ROM.... )

the only downside to this bln "version" is that it uses a kernel wakelock that will be hard on the battery

Yep, people are in for a treat when they realize their battery is being raped. We'll have to wait for CM7 to implement it into the framework like they did with the Optimus 2X/G2X

Nothing can beat the old good trackball lights on N1
It's a pitty all the brands stopped producing trackball,they could just reduce its size

Yeah.... that is.... so not nice.... but well.... can't have everything.... :-/
// EDIT
Hm, for one, maybe some things can still be tweaked in the involved kernel code and for the other, how about disabling BLN when not needed? Does that release the wakelock? Haven't checked yet.... should check....
And does the drain/wakelock accour all the time while while activated or only when the lights are actually on - as far as I understood it so far the wakelock ist required to keep the powersupply up for the lights, but when no blinking is needed (due to no notification) the wakelock could/should be released....
Maybe that's something to tweak if that isn't already the case.
If the drain only accours when the lights are on, that's kinda OKish IMO, time to answer the damn phone *lol*

so creams put out an update that is supposed to release wakelock after the led cycle (pro app needed)
That would be an acceptable solution, I am testing to see
ps, btw jlevy he wasn't keen to your battery rape comment

It wasn't anything personally directed at him. I'm very grateful for his work in bringing BLN to our devices. I appreciate the update it looks like it will have a helpful impact on battery life.

LG Touch LED Notifications (Updated to Support Nitro!!)

Hello all,
I am creating this thread since we all at one point had a discussion regarding having some kind of notification alert on our phones the moment we achieve Unlock.
Well guess what, Xigzil aka MARTIN BÖRJESSON has an app on the market called LG 2X/Black/3D Notifications. I've installed this on the phone, and unfortunately, it does fully support the phone yet to work properly. I've reached to Xigzil and he will try to help and update his app so it will work with our phone but he will be needing our help. Since he does not have the phone, he will need things from us, so let's do our best to help Xigzil in achieving this.
For now, this will just be placeholder until he has decided to visit us here. Hopefully it won't be long
App has been UPDATED!! Nitro is now supported, download it here: LG Touch LED Notifications

What unlock?
/me confused.

UPDATE!!
So Xigzil has just updated his app!! It is now called LG Touch LED Notifications since it supports much much more LG phones, including our dear LG Nitro HD (P930)! I have not tried it just yet, just noticed that the update kicked in and that one of the supported phones is the Nitro. So go download it and give it a try and let us know how it is!
You can download it here: LG Touch LED Notifications
To Admin/Chris: Please move this thread to either General or Themes/Apps as it no longer pertains to a development effort. Thank you.

Hmm. Not sure whether I like it or not. I though maybe it'll be a fade in and out kind of effect but it just blinks. And all three buttons blink. Going to keel it for a while and see if its really useful.

I thought the same thing too. I guess it's kind of useful if I just have my phone on the table and I'm staring at something else, until it starts blinking and gains my attention. I do think however fade options would be fantastic, and if only one button would light up.
Maybe something like Gmail - Menu button
SMS - Home button
Other - Back button

Moved to general as asked. Don't forget, if you need me just send me a pm.

Is the ability to control each of those buttons individually built into the software, though? I mean, I thought it was all or nothing when it came to the button LED's.

Yeah all or nothing for the buttons. Atleast we have some kind of notification now for the Nitro/Optimus LTE !

I like putting my phone face down so the speaker is up. Would it be possible for a notification app to blink the camera's LED flash?

Lol! [email protected], that's exactly the same thing that's on this thread, the same app made by the same guy
Liteon, to answer your question, I use this: Flashlight Notifier
It basically flashes the camera's LED when something triggers it. You can set it however you want, and the pattern on how the LED flashes too. It's very cool, but mind you, they flash really really bright, so in a dark area, expect people to jump out of their skin when this thing goes off lol!
I use both LG touch Notification and the Flashlight Notifier on this phone, so I can see the notification regardless of how you face your phone.

[DEV/WIP] doubletap2wake & swipe2wake

Hello,
I'm currently implementing doubletap2wake and swipe2wake into the stock unsecured kernel.
If someone could help, that would be great. My C/C+ experience = 0%.
So if you guys have tips or source, help is always welcome!
Thanks,

actually, the stock kernel has support for this,only with root, but sadly its a propitiatory app (i dont get it either) called PGM nexus which makes use of it and u can double tap to wake, slide to wake and touch to wake .

yes ! exactly ! open source is the way to go besides pgm no longer supports newer kernels for 4.3 (only stock no trace and trace methods are supported ) which i guess some kernel developers dont use. anyways please make it open source if possible

Here is an implementation for Nexus7 (2013)
https://github.com/flar2/flo/tree/ElementalX
Something to work with perhaps?
Cheers,
/J

I'd check @faux123 git. He's done this for a few devices with settings to turn on and off in his app.

Anybody still working on? Got a few thoughts.
A good place to start would be to look up the "gpm hack" and "gpm mouse" in duckduckgo. I think there is a lot of good stuff you'll find. Another thing to get familiar with is parsing the output of /dev/input/event* and the builtin touch screen emulation with android's "input" command line function, "input touchscreen" to be more exact.

Shameless bump, but is someone still interested in this?

I Am!

Customize Always On Display?

Does anyone know if it's possible to customize the always on display? I'm rooted and have Xposed, so if there's any Magisk module or Xposed mod anyone knows of, please share
I don't need to see the alarm info on my AOD, I'd rather have it replaced with battery info, and I'd like to have a mobile/WiFi icon (whichever is active).
It would also be nice to have charging info as well, but I haven't been able to find any app/mod/module that does something like this. Any info would be appreciated

Anyone? :crying:

This will very nice....

Well, as far as i know that is not possible.
However, It is possible to show it where the "NowPlaying"-Text appears.
I could try to build an App that shows the Battery-percentage at that place, but i don't know if that's still meaningful since Android P is coming up and already has that implemented. Would you be interested?

Well, the Icons are just placeholders - but take this as a hint to what is (maybe) coming up soon.

Maybe not with an Xposed module, but a developer I'm guessing could use OMS with substratum to theme it? It is possible to edit it with OMS, although to what extent I'm not sure, I'm not a developer. Here is a clock theme that changes the AOD clock: Google Play
As a side note, I'm not sure if the developer intended it to edit the AOD, as it's for the lockscreen clock, but it changes the AOD one. At least with the options I selected in substratum.

Sadly, over the weekend I can't finish this, since I got a house that needs some work, and later today I'm off for a great time in a musical.
But i already made the App open source since I wrote the first line of code for it. So if anyone here knows how to contribute in the actual Development, hit me up and I'll send you my Repo. ?

Hey can I test this app too?

So, I guess I've got enough Testers now.
Just to give a quick update to all of you:
This week I did literally nothing on the App as I was at the ophthalmologist (eye doctor), needed to clean up my House, get my Car trough the main inspection and beside all that I got a regular Job I need to go to. :silly:
But I got my Phone back - nearly no blue shift, nearly no black crush, and my speaker rattle is gone! :highfive:
This evening I'm going out with my girlfriend. So I may be able to get back to work on the App today for an hour or so. I'll keep you updated!
