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.

yes, exactly like pulses. It would be great to have app like this! So, keep testing ;-)

[kernel] JVB/2.3 CF initramfs + LED timeout and notifications

Hi,
This kernel is odin flashable and uses a binary copy of chain fire's current ramdisk for JVB (aka CWM, root, etc)
Also has the led notification patch from CM7, and led timeout of the touchkey but won't actually make the notifications, as it's missing liblight (mostly cause i'm tired atm)
The main purpose of this kernel, beside providing a quick fix for the leds, is to let whowever wants easily patch in the timeout (and eventually notification) into his own kernel
sources: https://github.com/kangsterizer/linux_gt-i9000 (use branch gingerbread-samsung)
binary: http://kang.project-voodoo.org/f/CF-JVB-LED-TM.tar
enjoy - provided without any warranty, support, etc, at your own risk. i will probably not update this kernel - unless some stuff for the led is rly necessary to clear up
note: also contains 10 fingers touches and uses the NS driver instead of the old froyo driver

Hi, looks realy good!
Please fix it and we will test it for you!
Thanks for great work

Do you mean I can play Fruit Ninja with both hands now?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

yeah lol
its more useful for 2 players on tap tap or stuff like that

Works great
Touchkeys dim after 2 seconds (I think it's 2 seconds, maybe only 1? I don't know, but they definitely dim).
CWM works as expected, too.

Hi,
what about the hole tweaks which exist?
Could you implement this all to get a superkernel for us?

Hey, I've installed the voodoo hack for JVB, can I flash it over it?

it's 1.6s to be precise haha
i suppose it works over voodoo, CF init should take care of it. no warranty ofc. i did not test. if it goes wrong just reflash voodoo. always backup. etc.
this kernel is just there hoping someone will pickup the patches and make his own kernel out of it (or just patch it in his own kernel). i won't be able to maintain that one and the CM7 one.
that's why it's very simple. has most of the stuff you might expected minus voodoo, and if you copy a liblights, it has "bln" (as in led notification) too

Ok I've flash it over Voodoo and it works fine but I've not the 10 finger multitouch :s

Because it's also framework dependent. Samsung framework has limitation to 5 points.

hi bilboa, thanks for the kernel, works as stated hope the devs use the patches
cheers

Hi, dont understand this!
How could i do this?
How can i patch the kernel?
Where can i get the patches?
Please could you do this for us?
I believe, only a few people could do this.
Can you insert in GB kernel BLN and all other mods?
Would realy cool for us

there's the kernel included if you don't know how to patch stuff..
the kernel is gb, has led notification (not bln, im not neldar) and it's already there and done
people who know how to patch stuff might include it in their own kernel with more goodies as they usually do

Hi, thanks for info!
But what is led information?
S hasend got a led?
Same as neldar use, led from buttons?

how to set the notifications? blink rate, timeout, which apps ...
i think we need an app for this, or a settings.apk mod with LED settings.

yes its similar to bln
no, there's no app
some apps on the market can make use it it though.. lightflow and friends i think.
i'm mostly using CM7 tho (which got builtin settings for LED)
i think most will be interested in the LED light time out and then either use the led notification implementation + some app to setup (although it works default) either use neldar's BLN

How can we use neldar BLN???
How can we aktivate this in your kernel??

ask someone else to do it, or to pack it with some nice apk for led notification

can we use your notification for k9 mail?

if you ask more dumb questions, i will eat u!
yes/no/you need liblights copied
you should probably wait for someone to release a more "ready to use" kernel

[Q] Capacitive Touch LED Notification Blinking/Flashing

I've seen this done on the T-Mobile G2X. See Thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045982
Can anyone make something like this for the Galaxy S II
Basically the little LED lit menu and back button will glow/flash on notifications such as missed calls, email, text etc.
Anyone think they can recreate this app but for the Galaxy S II. I really miss glancing over to see if I have a message.

NOLED may do that for ya.

If you want to drain the battery even faster that is

I've never experienced battery drains with NoLED, and I think it's a great, highly customizable app for this purpose. As said before, we'll have to wait for Neldar (or somebody else) to port BLN to the SGS II, since we need kernel support to control the backlight of the touch buttons.

He's not asking for NoLED, he's asking (and I'm with him) if it's possible to make an app which uses the captive touch LED. Nothing more nothing less.
Would love this option!

same here. I would pay a few $$ for such an app.

I'd definitly pay some bucks for that as well… noLED is no alternative for me.

We can ask this guy if he can do something

That has allready been done with the galaxy s i9000, called BLN =BackLightNotification, and it's done by Neldar. So lets be patient and hope it will be ported to our SGS 2 phones

Best LED control settings

Best app to control LED settings other than LightFlow?

What's wrong with light flow?

i think right now the best light flow

Why is it that so many people on XDA either 1) reply with another question and no answer or 2) with a statement that is not an answer because they didn't really read/understand the OP.
I have not found any other apps, besides light flow, for controlling the led. Some custom ROMs (CM9/10) have built in led control

If you have a question for another question is maybe cause the first question is not just clear.
So, isn't wrong to reply with a question. This could help to get a more detailed context, in wich you can give better answers.

IMO: you should switch to a CM based ROM (or a ROM like e.g. "BAKED Black Bean" from user Travp) which has the CM hack included.
Then you don't have to use a third party app like LightFlow because the CM hack just works

Does CM hack have individual LED color settings for contacts, sms etc... like LightFlow does?
The problem I have with lightflow is that sometimes it "turns off" and I have to re-open it.

It has all the essential setup possibilities in there, yes. LightFlow is more powerful but I think the CM hack offers everything one could ask for. And it works

lol I don't need it that specific, I mean things like charging, charged, missed call/sms/mms from general people, specific missed call/sms/mms for specific contacts, etc...
It can do all that? If it can I may switch because I am tired of Light Flow randomly not working then having to re-open it (yes accessibility is checked and yes run in foreground is checked)

No charging, charged, specific contacts/mms.
CM's implementation is limited to apps. So you select an app you want a notification for and the color and frequency of the light. That's it.

cm10 does it all.

Not charging/charged lights... Or specific colors for calls/texts/emails from specific people. I could do without the contact specific option, but I love the charging lights. I have the wireless charging mod on my phone so I'm very, um, anal retentive, about making sure my charging setup is in good working order. I like to verify it with the lights. Plus, it's nice to know by a glance when your phone is full and good to go!
I wish I didn't have to use Lightflow, but CM just doesn't have the bells and whistles I prefer on that regard.

Thanks

Thank you for a good answer.... and nothing is wrong with lightflow i just wanted to know if there was anything else... hopefully AOKP will add the LED settings soon

is there anything that lights up the camera flash when the phone rings? this app doesn't work on the nexus
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1556118

The only thing I like light flow more than the aokp/cm10 type controls, is setting a standby light, or a service light that always pulsates even with no notification. Is that a run on sentence?

[Q] BLN driving me nuts!! Pls help

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

Can you pls elaborate how you get it working with trickster mod? there's a "LED Control" button but requires paid version. Is this it? there's also "Backlight Notification" toggle which I have set to on but is not doing anything.

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?

Download trickster mod..swipe over to the last tab and you'll see an option for backlight notification...enable it and that's it

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?
