[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??

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

Q & A > Unofficial AOKP [4.2.2]

So keeping it short and sweet:
This is thread to house questions related to the Unofficial AOKP thread, by $MyName.
Questions in that thread can be asked, but "Where do I find the lockscreen wallpaper" shouldn't be asked there, lets keep it clean.
You can ask me directly and as always the other users, as this is a community.

Worked fine, though if you're still having trouble:
4.2 camera zip
You can download that zip, flash in recovery [no need to wipe], then reboot.
It'll flash the 4.2 camera with photosphere to your system

Hello, I have been running this ROM for about 4 days now. When I go to Settings, ROM Control, General UI, I have "Show Menu UI Overflow" unchecked. However, I am still seeing the 3 dots representing the menu button in apps. This is not a big deal, just a small annoyance. Is there a way to get rid of this? Also, using lock button to wake up phone sometimes takes a while. I have read that disabling "Wake up on charger" has helped for some users, however it has not made a difference for me. Is there a fix for this, as well? I like this ROM very much, it's smooth and very battery efficient. Thanks for the help!

Well as far as the button, have you tried toggling then rebooting; that may fix it.
The wake issue is semi hit or miss. Disabling the wake on connect has helped some; have you altered your kernel settings?

Yup, I have tried toggling and rebooting without success. And when you say kernel settings, are you referring to the performance options? Because I have not made any changes to those. Nor have I made any changes to any kernel settings, as far as I am aware.

Yes, stock kernel and no settings have been changed. Also, I was checking my data usage and I have noticed that it is not changing. It says I've only used about 300mb and that is not nearly the amount I have used. I don't think it is updating data usage for mobile data or Wi-Fi. Anybody else experiencing this? Just a small bug, not too much of a concern. Thanks!

Disable Touch Key Backlight on Google Edition

I hope someone can help me out with this (I guess most of my posts arent worth bothering with as they usually go untouched by anyone). I'm trying to figure out a way to disable the touch button backlight on a Google Edition ROM. I have been searching for an answer since the Google Edition hit. All I can ever find is how to disable on GSIII ROMs (non ge). If anyone can please help me out I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

Screen Filter is an app that can disable the backlight of the softkeys. Set it to auto-start at boot and you should be good. I know its not a direct fix but its a low impact app that shouldnt effect battery life or operation.

Seems to work for me. Did it dim the screen at all (thats its main function)? Did you see the check box "enable softkey back light" (uncheck it) at the bottom of the app ui?

Yes, it did dim the screen, but if i uncheck the enable softkey back light, anytime I touch the screen the backlights still come on. Are you on a G.E. rom? I am currently on Infamouse G.E.

No im not. I am on AOSP (Slim Bean) though.

There are options to do this in AOKP and CM roms. Anybody know how those builds pull it off?

Give me a minute to shower and I'll write you an app. All you have to do is install my app, reboot, grant it root access, and profit.

[Q] Use Menu and Back button as notification LED

Hi there,
is there a way to use the Menu and Back button on the bottom of the phone as a notification LED? Just let it blink if there is a notification in the system?
Greetings
Christian

I have tried several apps (BBS Notifications, ButtonLED) to accomplish this, unfortunately without any success.
The BBS Notification was able to control the button lights, however when the screen is off the lights do not work. Some phones do not allow the lights to go on, when the screen is off and as it seems S4 Mini is one of them. I also hope someone will find a solution for this, preferably one that will not cause too much battery drain.
Another option might be BLN mod. However, I read that the BLN modification in kernel might cause battery drain exactly because of the necessary changes in power management in order to allow the button light to work when the screen is off (the BLN mod for Mini does not exist yet as far as I know).
Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

hello
I think the BLN kernel solution is better than any noLED app or other.
So I am very interested in a BLN supporting kernel.
Were can a user as me ask for this or can see the progress in building such a BLN-supporting kernel?
Thanks
Tom

You can try noled it uses your screen led for notification but drains battery
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app

As I wrote I this the BLN is much more better.
If you look at night on your superAMOLED screen while a noLED sign is there, the whole screen is lighter.
As far as I see this app (noLED) is not able to let our wonderful AMOLED screen totaly black but gives a little light on the whole screen.
So: were can a "new" user as me, with 2 years CM experiance at his Galasy S I can ask developers to create a BLN supportet kernel?
I dont want to post it in the wrong place here in XDAdev.
thanks !
Tom

I remembered to see the backlight somewhere on a todo list, but now can't find it. Is this now available in the stable release?

no it isn't. Still on the list.

Anything new yet? My girlfriend uses se S4 mini and is annoyed of the missing LED. NoLED drains too much battery...
