Just posting this to see if anyone else has experienced the same problem (and hopefully was able to fix it).
I flashed BeastMOD II v4.0 last night (which I LOOVE because of the speed, smoothness, overall feel etc.) BUT, BLN will ONLY work with e-mails and not text messages. I've tried all kinds of different display and notification settings but for the life of me cannot get it to work with texts.
I even restored my phone to the rom I had prior (Juggs v3.7, which BLN worked perfectly for), then re-flashed BeastMOD whilst whiping everything twice just to be sure. Still the same exact result.
If anyone has ever experienced this before and knows why or how to fix it please post!
Thanks
EDIT: Tried flashing Bullet v2.9b and got the exact same results, so I'm thinking it might be an issue with the ROM.
I have used BLN on synergy for cm7 and stock, and with bullet. It works for everything but tstkmg for me but I use chompsms and it have its own screen wake quick reply option that I use.

You are right. It appears to be a rom issue. I have the same problem as you.

At least i'm not the only one lol. I actually restored an older backup (Juggs v 3.69) and got everything working perfectly...reflashed BeastMOD and same thing, works for emails only. Sucks.
But overall, this ROM so outperformes all others I'm actually willing to go without the BLN working correctly....but am seriously WAITING FORTHE FIX ;-)

I third your results. BLN had issues for me too with Beastmod. Plus I had Gmail push issues which were later answered after going back to Juggernaut 3.7 which is flawless, but a bit laggy at times for me. It could be just suffering the usual symptoms of any Operating System we have all seen with Windows OS variants on PC's....just getting a bit slower and flakey with time. NOT here to bash any ROM. Overall, it's been the most stable of all ROMs I have used as well as the most satisfying from the get go with installing.
Bln has to do with the kernel not the Rom and most kernels have posted that it doesn't work with stock sms I've been using go sms pro with jugs 3.7 along with bullet 2.9 and haven't had any issues also remember that on most apps you have to activate Bln in settings
Edit: Remember you also have to have Bln control installed from the market

Hm that was the interesting thing - I knew it was kernel related. However people in the thread said that BLN use to work for them on a different rom.. I will try gosms when I get home, but BLN did use to work for me before.
I'll post this here just incase any of you miss the post:

Tried it, still failed.
I'm telling you, I have gotten BLN to work flawlessly with several other ROM's/Kernels, but NOTHING, no Kernel or settings will allow BLN to work correctly with text messages with this ROM. There's something in the coding that's preventing it.
I noticed that no matter what my settings are, whenever I receive a text message (if notifications are set to allow screen on) the screen always turns on for exactly 6 seconds, then turns off and nothing else happens no matter what the settings are. So something in the ROM is dictating the screen on time for SMS, and is overriding anything what ANY Kernel says, and is probably also overriding something that needs to be changed for BLN to work correctly.
And if I install a 3rd party SMS app that prevents the screen from turning on (or change the settings with the stock SMS app), the screen will stay off when I receive a SMS message, and the back light buttons will never turn on, so that's even worse lol.
Just my guess.
I'm still using beast mod 3.6, but it works very well with 3rd party apps such as go sms. It activates the capacitive buttons on all texts. It also will allow popup and screen on from the settings, i just don't like this as it can hurt my battery life with the screen on. I'd rather it just give me a notification tone and light up the capacitive buttons.

Yeah, I'm sure it works on BeastMOD v3.6 (just like how it works on all other ROMs and Kernels that supposedly support BLN), but the fact that it doesn't on v4.0 sucks. It's definitely a ROM issue. I just hope the developer addresses it with the next release since I really like the speed and feel of the ROM overall.

Really? Are you sure you turned the stock messaging app's notification feature off? His work-around worked flawlessly with me. It also stopped turning on my stupid screen when I receive a text which saves a bit of juice lol.

Yup, when I turn the stock one off the screen never lights when I receive a text. Then if I install a 3rd party app the screen may or may not turn on (whatever setting I choose) but BLN will never work regardless of what setting I choose.
There's something in the ROM that's f'ing with BLN with my phone. I wish I knew what it was. All other ROM's/Kernels are fine, just this one has issues.
this may be a long shot, but did u disable the setting to force all notifications through the 3rd party SMS app?? try go SMS again, but go into settings-recieve settings- make sure "disable other message notification" is unchecked.

Weird, I haven't tried Go SMS because I like the stock messaging app. Exactly what I did (Following the person's post) was:
1. Go into stock messaging app settings -> Uncheck notifications.
2. Download SMS Popup from the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.everythingandroid.smspopup&hl=en
3. In SMS Popup Settings -> Enable SMS Popup.
In their Additional settings: Turned quick reply off.
In their Notification settings: Check Enable Notifications, and Check blink LED.
4. Went into BLN Control and made sure BLN was enabled.
Voila it worked for me. Hope it helps. I understand your fustration .

Just tried it, didn't work...I think this is pretty much the same concept as using Go SMS. I think it's just the ROM, it's just not gonna happen with my phone until the ROM is fixed.

We were talking about BeastMod which uses Synergy Kernel as stock. Correct me if I'm wrong but Bullet Kernel HAS Bln support while Synergy does NOT, hence the reason we were stating it's a ROM issue. I installed bullet kernel on Beastmod. Bln did not function. I have the market app Pro version of BLN. Yes, it works with Juggernaut. And yes, I also ONLY use GoSms Pro. So, it is a ROM issue I believe wrt Bln not working. But the Beastmod Co-OP told me on their thread they only recommend using Synergy with Beastmod and not Bullet. So this issue is moot I would assume.
EDIT: I have not specifically tried those extra settings mentioned. So I will have to try a fresh install with those specific settings mentioned. But are you guys that state Beastmod 4.0 works with Bln and Go SMS Pro...using Bullet kernel instead of Synergy? At least I hope that's the case.
Edit: MY BAD>>>>>>>>Synergy does have BLN support. I will go sit in my corner so please don't holler back I can't read Back to reinstalling BeastMod 4 and using settings with GoSMS and turning off stated settings etc in stock message app.

I have since updated to 4.0, and its still working for me when using gosms, and disabling the forcing of sms notification to go through gosms.

I think the whole issue with bln is that both the stock messaging app, and gosms stock settings both force sms notifications to go through those programs. bln has to be able to read the notifications. enable other programs to have access to the notifications, and you'll be good.

I have tried every method posted in this thread AT LEAST TWICE, and they never work with this ROM (at least for text messages.....e-mails WILL trigger BLN, but not SMS messages for a still unknown reason). These methods work with other ROM/Kernel combos, BUT NOT THIS ONE.

I hear what you're saying,but I'm telling you that I'm on 4.0 with the included kernel, and its working perfectly for me.
First day with the one x, first thing I did was install swype, the correct way using the official swype installer. I enabled swype, and everything was fine. Then about an hour later without even rebooting or anything, swype was usurped by the sense keyboard. Since then I have been unable to make swype the default keyboard despite the fact that it is turned on. The sense keyboard continues to load instead.

same: i have the swype beta installed and it doesn't pop up when i go to type something. i also have swiftkey 3 installed...not sure if that's hindering it or something.
when your keyboard is activated, you should be able to select input method in notification list

Yes, just pop down notification centre and select your keyboard.
It's working great on my one X, I love the themes and they keyboard feels far better than swiftkey.
that seems to work, but i think only temporarily. i will get back to you in a few days. Thanks.
I'm having the same issue, the solution above only works temporarily, but after a while it goes back to Sense.
Hello, so this has been recently happening to me. I have my default keyboard set to the swipe keyboard but whenever I use my keyboard it always goes back to the default keyboard. I've tried with other keyboards but I get the same results. I have to swipe the notification bar and select the keyboard I want to use but when I use my keyboard again it just goes back to the default one. Help?

try locating the keyboard app apk file. use this to install the keyboard instead of downloading from the play store. it will stick. at least this was the issue on my wife's stock S3.
I'm having a similar issue with my S3. Every time I reboot, it defaults to the Samsung keyboard even though I use Swiftkey. I can't root it because it's my work phone and my workplace doesn't allow rooted phones. Does anybody know why this happens or if there is a fix for it?

This is a known issue. I posted my fix above
Hello,
I am not sure why on earth the keyboard has stopped working as it supposed to work. Previously there were small arrows on the space key which was indication of multiple language. Swiping it to the sides was changing the lauguage.
I am not sure why I do not have the arrows---> which means I can not change the language of the keyboard.
I tried resetting the settings and all, but no luck.
As you see I have 2 languages added to the keyboard...... maybe I am missing something ! any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I think I found the root of the problem. I put it here for others in case someone faced the same problem.
The problem comes from enabling Accessibility->Services.
I had the "Greenify" enabled there. After turning it off keyboard start to work as before.
Peace,

This is all great but looks like this is Kit Kat problem. So what to do it if you need Accessibility mode for app that do notifications for Smart Watch?

No idea how to fix the Kit Kat issue here. But while default Samsung Keyboard had this issue, switching to Swype Keyboard showed no problem. So as a work around, you can switch to swype keyboard for now.
Hi just wondering if anyone knows how to bring back or stop the auto replacement feature of the stock samsung keyboard from dissapearing. I am currently using the Jedi kitkat rom which has it initially then after awhile it just seems to vanish. I can bring it back by reflashing to rom but it always seems to go mia again. Anyone have any ideas?

Mine disappeared on the stock rom after using Wanam xposed so I started using the SwiftKey beta.

Well this doesn't really help me as I am trying to find out what the root cause for the feature just vanishing entirely and I know a lot of people are having similar issues where it just isnt there anymore. I have been using Wanam myself and I have made several changes and reboots and it doesn't seem to disappear. It is only after a day or so has gone by I notice it just isnt working anymore and low and behold its gone. I like using the stock samsung keyboard for the numbers on the top of the keyboard that seems native to the note series. Not only that but when its there the auto correction seems to be spot on. I realize swiftkey is nice and all and I have a paid version of it but I just dont like that it doenst have the number keys always on top
Beta has a dedicated numbers row.
