I am running Calkulins E4GT ROM for my EL29 and I was seeing if theres any KERNEL out there that supports "BLN" Back Light Notification?? If so, can someone direct me to where?

Really??? no replies still on this?

I doubt many people here even know what it is, since this gs2 model has its own dedicated notification led.
I think it would make sense to ask for a higher frequency of blinking of that light, instead of BLN.
I understand some people may not know what it is but I can't ask in the development forums until I make 10 dumb post. Then I might get some more better and consistent replies but I just thought I'd give it a shot here..
But I can't seem to find a kernel supporting bln or a full real notification to change led's.
Hmmm..

Just wondering, but is there any way to increase the pulsing speed of the trackpad LED?
A lot of people have suggested LedMe Know but it doesn't have support for Google Voice (which I use for sms) and it flashes the trackpad, rather than pulses.
I've also tried Light Flow and although it pulses the trackpad and supports Voice, it doesn't change the speed of the pulse
Any suggestions?
Have you tried playing with the custom timing settings in Led me know?
If gvoice isn't supported, then perhaps it wont work....sry if it doesn't.
Well, like I said up top, it only flashes the led, instead of the pulses, regardless of any speed settings.
Plus no Google Voice in LedMe Know. Light Flow does support it (so its definately possible ), but it does not alter the pulse frequency so it doesn't add anything that stock didn't already do.

Maybe you could contact the app developers and get them to add the feature(s)?
Some can be surprisingly responsive.
Good suggestion...but not quite the solution I'm looking for since LedMe flashes rather than pulses and I'd prefer if I didn't have to keep an app in memory just to change the frequency of a stock feature :/
Maybe there's a way to modify the lights.vision.so or something?
EDIT: I doubt the developer would try his hand at pulsing rather than flashing since it seems I'm just a minority who prefers the trackpad led rather than the speaker led. Also this seems like a device specific feature and the dev says in the app description: "only available at the moment for htc desire 2.2" so I doubt he has a DZ to test on... I found
EDIT2: I found exactly what I was looking for (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5609688&postcount=25) but sadly its only for Nexus One. I'm messaging the developer to see if maybe he'd port it over...

Yeah I dont know much about editing those files, but some app devs are helpful. It might actually just be a quick edit for them to gain compatibility with GVoice.
I only use LED me know to flash my trackpad light really fast, upon arrival of sms' through tmobile carrier/handcent tho.
I hope you figure something out. I would like like it to pulse fast rather then just blink.

Switch to an MIUI rom. It has the feature built in.
I appreciate pulsing the trackpad LED as well. However it's too slow a pulse at default speed, to be able to quickly peek at your phone and be able to tell if you have a message or not.
xREVOx: What exactly is this feature called? I want to look around and see if it will be included in the net CyanogenMod version.

I'm not using the MIUI rom right now, but it was called either Pulse Frequency or Pulse Delay. Default is 9 seconds. You can change it to as little as a 1 second delay.
I might have to flash it just to check it out and see how it works.
Currently I have LED me know flash my trackpad at 100 milisec. on and 100 milisec. off. Flashes fast and I notice it right away when checking for messages.
I just rather have the pulsing close to that speed.
Well I guess its nice to know that there's an actual solution... I wonder how hard it is to extract from miui rom?
I was looking around for the source of miui, but apparently its not released by their dev team...?

You could try just flashing the exact file that controls it to your phone, from the MIUI rom... not sure exactly what it is though.

I believe its in Settings? I saw a video of MIUI running on a G2 and Trackpad Settings was in the Settings menu...not sure if it contains the pulse frequency but meh. If it is, I don't think it'll be too smart to flash it but idk.

Hi all,
This is my first post on xda so please move it to the right section if this isn't it.
As the sgs2 doesn't have a notification led I was wondering if there is a possibility to have the soft keys flash upon receiving a text or an email and so on.
Reason I thought id suggest it because my other phone the lg o2x has the same issue with regards to the led and there is an app for that.
I am willing to buy it from the market to support the developer of course.
What you are looking for is called Backlight Notfication or BLN and as far as i know the kernel for the phone needs to support this. Since the SGS2 is fairly new there isn't a kernel with working BLN yet but most of the kernel hackers are looking into this feature. I'm sure it's coming, it just needs some time.
Hope this answers your question even if it doesn't help you with your problem.
Thanks for the quick answer. I just thought id put it out there.
It's not really an issue since most ppl prob check their phone regularly but I think it would be a nice addition to have it think.... Especially at night when you don't really want to turn your phone on every few mins to check for a notification
I miss this as well.
It seems to be rly complicated to implement, as some ppl are working on it for quite some month (!) now and still there's no BLN available… I hope that some day we'll have it nevertheless…

Well, if you consider that these people do it all in their free time then "month" suddenly isn't that much. Also this is probably not a top priority in the first kernel releases. These will concentrate on speed and stability, before new features are added.
Patience is a virtue, especially if you don't have to pay for the finished product

hello,
maybe this app can help you -> https://market.android.com/details?id=com.led.notify&feature=search_result
Is there a kernel available with BLN support?
I really mis a notification led on my galaxy w, so I only see missed calls when I unlock the phone. (which often is way too late).
I guess many of you suffer from the same problems.
Apparantly, the menu and back softkeys can be used as notification led is BackLightNotifications are enabled in the kernel. It exists already for galaxy sII.
Any plans of seeing this in an upcoming kernel?
thanks
Such kernel was not made yet for our phone. And one more thing you don't make threads with question in the developer section. Questions goes under General section!
ok, will do.
thanks for the advice

I am also interested to use these keys light as notification indicator for miss call and sms.
The other option is to use NoLed app from market, but it used main display to notify the user which is not good.
Yeah, I saw that one too, but that will eat battery...

Im freshly rooted and I have noticed that my ringtone volume and when I talk to someone the other caller says I sound far away. My text notifications are also low. I did post this in the Q/A section but no reply yet. Any help.would bd appreciated. Thx

Are you running a stock ROM or a custom? If you're running custom, which ROM?
The stock one still E29.

Oh, not sure on that, I don't know how much control you have over a stock ROM but since you're rooted there might be some apps in the market for volume control.. If you are intent on remaining with GB for awhile you might look into a few GB custom ROMs that might help the volume issue.
Check out Rujelus22's Blu Kuban for Gingerbread, also Calkulin's GB ROM and PhantomHacker's Blazer ROM which seems to be real popular with the GB crowd.
Thank you. I want to put cm9 on here as my first room to try. Think that might help?

It might but be sure and do your homework. Read both cm9 threads thoroughly. There's one here in the general forum and of course the one in the Developer's forum and always ask questions before you take any step you are unsure of.
Didn't want to create two topics for two fairly simple questions so here goes:
I don't seem to ever see my notification light ever working. Is anyone else having an issue or is something a miss here? I'm running Jelly Belly v3 with GLaDOS v2 kernel.
Also, since this phone does have HD resolution, what are anyone's thoughts on buying HD version apps? Will the phone support or is it even worth it?

The notification light isn't very robust stock. If your ROM has controls for it, use those. Else you can try an app like Light Flow, although its been a tad hit or miss since 4.1 (app hasn't been updated).

"HD" apps is usually the way devs denote their tablet apps from phone apps. Just use the regular ones, they scale fine...
