Is there any way, or app that I can use to alert me via soft keys when new text messages arrive?
Thanks in advance

Of course, assuming you are on gingerbread and have a kernel that supports BLN.
app is BLN control
I am on ICS running the IML74K_Ics_Perfection II rom. I tried to install the Synergy kernel but ended up with a boot loop. Any ideas on how to remedy this issue or point me in the correct way.

Bud, you can't run gingerbread kernels on ICS. Which also means you can't have softkey notification on ICS. Flash aN ICS kernel and you'll be fixed.
From what I recall synergy is a gb kernel. U cannot use a gb kernel with an ics rom. Until source code is released, u have to pick. Either no ics, and bln control works, or use ics and forgo bln until source comes out
Thanks!
You can try an app called Noled, it doesnt use softkeys though. It uses the screen to light up icons.

I use BLN pro (ofcourse with a compatible kernel and a GB rom).
It's pretty neat and can be configured for your sofkeys to blink at a custom rate(I set mine at half a second off and on) so it looks like regular leds. Some iphone users think its pretty legit!
Only reason I have yet to switch to ICS is because of no BLN support, no OC and no DOCK audio

Do you also not have the option to wake with the trackball anymore?
Don't know why, but no its not in the new version. Same question was asked in their forums and still didn't get a real answer. I think they're going to put it back in eventually.
I bet if they put their source code out we would have trackball wake.

If they put out source their whole sms system would be forked across all roms in a matter of hours.
MIUI's toast notification of sms with reply is the only reason i really enjoy MIUI.

That's the wonder of open source though. If google didn't make Android open source we wouldn't have MIUI, therefore imo MIUI source should also be open source.

They're shopping MIUI to the big name phone manufactures, seems the most likely to buy it is Motorola, so it doesn't make much sense for them to out their source code.
I really enjoy MIUI just too buggy for me.. I've been running it since I had my og Droid and it sure has come a long way, still needs some work for sure.

I think the last few updates have been not steps, but leaps backwards. Each release has another new bug that just drives me up the wall, and its never fixed.
1. notification bar in lock screen constantly has date
2. carrier logo is permanently in notification bar when unlocked/no notifications
3. can't send sms to recipients with "-" in number/camera FC with flash
those are the last 3 most recent releases.

multiple people confirmed it on miui.us, and i confirmed it on my buddys phone with the same 1.5.6.1
With #2, the carrier name is ALWAYS in the notification bar (unless there are active notifications) I used changecarriername to change it to something else, but either way it annoys me.

Must be a dark theme only thing, except that I thought this problem arose on 1.4.30 which is what I'm running right now.
This community has already greatly contributed to Whitehawkx and I. In return we'd like to offer you the same.
We have LOTS of ideas for the ROM we are working on and are implementing all of them as time permits. In the 24-48 hours him and I have had this phone we've already made a huge amount of progress.
So, be realistic, be creative, and tell us what you'd like to see in a custom ROM.
Small preview of what's been accomplished so far (more under the hood ):

Do some ics porting!
Notification menu like on WeaponG2X. That was one of my favorite implementation of that rom.

I do agree with the guys above me with having CM7 or MIUI, but I would also like the running apps carousel like the one from ics. I think that's what it's called. I have to double check on that. I know when you long press the home button, you get to see most recent apps, but I sure do like the look of the app carousel from ics. That'd be nice to have but I'm still looking forward to yours and WhiteHawkx's roms either way.

I guess I should have clarified. This will be based off Samsung software/firmware.
We won't be "porting" a ROM or working on CM7 for this phone. We will be extending the functionality/feature base of the Sammy ROM. It only makes sense to do it like this. You get the best combination of speed, stability, and features.

Original SGS Sms - Should work now I think. Maybe we'll have that as an addon if everything works properly.
Gesture controls you can disable from Settings menu, no?
Swap support like RAM swap? Why? There a ridiculous amount of RAM on this phone.
After all the great experiences with your guys work on the Vibrant Im excited to see what you bring here.
I would like the see the usual stuff. Multiple lockscreens, improved battery life, smoothed out UI, NO BATTERY PERCENTAGE IN THE BATTERY please or at least an option to turn it off. Voodoo color( I know that isnt on your end but I still want it.) A theme engine like in cm7 would be cool to.

Are you able to power off your phone from the lockscreen? On my nexus it seems that all the buttons have been disabled.
I am on stock 4.0.1 ICS btw and I have noticed the same thing with my galaxy tab 10.1.
Not me. The option comes up, but wont accept a touch.
Is WidgetLocker updated to android 4.0 yet? I'd definitely would be using it...hmmm

ICS source code became available, when? Nov 14? Last WidgetLocker update was only Nov 18 and description makes no reference to ICS. I'd say no, it is not fully updated for compatibility with ICS yet.
I have the same results as described above by OP. That's really the only problem I have though. Otherwise it is working fine on ICS.
Widgetlocker works just fine for me, and I am in fact able to make use of the buttons from the power menu.
Stock & rooted 4.02
Yeah I can't click the pop up buttons either, can't remember ever needing to though so it doesn't bother me.

Yea it doesnt bother me much either, it was just a little inconvenience i noticed while using it. Its only an extra second to unlock the phone and then press the power button.
Just wanted to know if I was the only one.
sometimes i can, sometimes i can't, it's not consistent
(stock rom, unrooted)
Sorry to get OT, but I CANNOT get handcent to pop up messages over Widgetlocker now. It worked on Gingerbread. Any suggestions would be awesome as the dev of Widgetlocker just ignored my email.
If I could set a custom lock screen wall paper and add widgets to the stock unlock screen I would have no use for widgetlocker, but as for now...I love it. Just this one issue.
In an attempt to contribute, No, I cannot. I push "Power off" but it will not work unless I unlock and then do it. I am on stock 4.0.2.
the only thing bothering me from the current version of widgetlocker is the lock screen comes up when I am on a phone call...
i have to unlock the screen in order to end a call

Is there a way to turn off back light and LED notification lights? I've tried an app called Led Flow -LED Control but it didn't work on the One V. Is there any way to turn off the back light buttons as well as the top LED light? To save battery? thanks!
You can use my file keyoff.zip to turn off the backlight completely. The LED notification, no mod as there is no request from my ROM user; not sure it can be done or not.

I'm going to send you a PM.
Hi all,
I've put good several hours today trying to get BLN(back light notification) function working on my T989 to no avail. I understand the kernel in CM 10.1.2 doesn't support BLN, so today I flashed a new one that does. After that I installed BLN control. It does report that BLN status is enabled, but neither the test nor the real world uses lit up those 4 damned touch key LEDs.
In addition, I've also tried ButtonLED(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958939). It didn't work either because the "brightness" file needed couldn't be found or maybe just doesnt exist. the 5 files its auto search located didn't work of course.
I'd appreciate if some of you more skilled/experienced magnificent people could help me out. There are so many T989 users out there, I'm sure there're people who got bothered by the lack of notifications and figured out a work around. It doesnt have to be with these two apps, but I don't want to use apps that use the main LCD for notifications for battery life's reason.
Thanks ahead!
ROM: CM 10.1.2 stable release
Android version: 4.2.2

The backlight notification toggle is the one I used. I am on Slim Bean 4.3 using Uber 2GHz with BLN though.
Not sure why it works for me and not you.
I wiped cache partition and dalvik cache, still no change....
I read somewhere on internet the ROM must also support BLN function. Could this be the cause?

I've done all that, unfortunately it just didn't work. Are you on CM 10.1 with a kernel that supports bln? Or is there anyone with this setup who have gotten it to work?
