thats odd i tested it using the free version and the BLN test didnt even work. Tried calling a few times and missing the call as well as texting my phone and leaving the message unread and still nothing. Wonder if this is the case with only the rogers/fido/telus/bell i9020as as some of us had to root via the i9023 CWM recovery.

Yeh, I got caught with the problems of flashing the i9020 CWM instead of the i9023 version but the BLN is working for me both with the free non-blinking test and pro blinking test.
The NSCollab ROM I'm using includes the latest Netarchy 1.3.0.3 CFS kernel. Maybe that's the reason it's working for me??

really thats interesting, the kernel i tested one was the 1.3.0.3 netarchy kernel i guess i'll have to test it using the paid version and see wat happens
edit: tested using the paid version and it seems like its the i9023 root method thats screwing things up a little.

That's what I was kinda wondering about the i9023 recovery, I guess that is what is doing it. I have the paid version of BLN as well, and it didn't make any difference.

did a bit more testing and it seems that BLN does work, but only for SMS and not for missed called even with the LED notification on for missed called.

Took mine back to 2.3.3 stock, installed Netarchy latest 1.3.0.3 kernel and now I'm getting the same behaviour: BLN test doesn't work, LED notification on missed calls not working but LED notification on new email is working.
Might try flashing the NSCollab ROM again to see what happens.

Tried running fix permissions on the stock ROM but this didn't seem to fix BLN notifications.
Reflashed NSCollab ROM. Tested BLN and initially still not working but after a reboot it's all working properly again.

so it might just be a stock rom + BLN kernel issue has any of the kernel devs looked into this?

I tried it out a few hours ago on my 9020a with CM7 and the Trinity UV kernel and so far BLN free version works great, not that I have much use for it, never used it on my Galaxy s but will see.

I too am having issues with it working on calls. emails/txts it works without fail.
EDIT:seems i found the issue. its the good old BFS choose a kernel that doesn't use it and it works fine. Seems bfs doesnt really like the 9020a's.

im using it with netarchy 1.3.0.3 CFS so im not sure if the BFS is the sole cause of this

Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone got BLN working on the Jame Bond kernel ?
I've read in that thread that it supports Voodoo and BLN and I'm using the Sabai dee kernel but BLN doesn't seem to work for me ?
To be honest, I'm not too sure how to run the test. I click on it and it says press the power button to test it, which I do, but then my screen just turns off and nothing happens....am I doing something wrong ?
I also brought the pro version, and tried calling myself and sending myself an email and nothing happened.
Any suggestions ?
Cheers in advance

I'm running SupeAosp 6.2 Rom and BLN works perfectly for with, this includes missed calls and notifications. The Kernel that I'm using is 2.6.35.12-SuperAosp-S-1400. Apparently the next upgrade is going to be compiled with the UV which I am planning to test out as soon as its released. Furthermore as a bandage solution people can use NoLED without any mods at all, I found the app quite useful as I was not experienced enough to recompile with BLN included.

I forgot to mention, I am using an i9020A.

first of all make sure all your settings are correct in the bln app...
bln works for the 9020a, but I forget if the missed call works or not...everything else seems to. with that being said, the issues with stock and the missed call not working will be sorted shortly...when the 9023 gets working...its not the 9023 recovery causing the problem

I'm not really sure what forum to add this to, so please excuse if its on the wrong one. I would like to install the BLN app, but I dont know which kernel to use, or if its even supported. I found a thread here that showed an infuse kernel, but it looked like it made a whole bunch of changes, all i want is to be able to use the bln app if possible. can anyone point me in the right direction, or know if this app can even be used with the infuse? thanks!
I THINK you can use BLN with the froyo roms but it currently does not work in any GB ROM. I'm still relatively new to infuse and never used any froyo ROM besides stock. I know for certain its a no-go in GB. Causes too many instability issues. I would check bedwa's earlier infuse kernel thread. He seems to be the go-to Guy for kernels. The thread mentions its for froyo in the title and should say if BLN is supported in the first post.
BTW, I'm not aware of any kernel that turns on just BLN.
BLN is in Defuse 1.5 and the latest Infusion Froyo releases, HOWEVER:
It's flaky as hell on Froyo and for some people may have caused system stability issues.
Every attempt at implementing it in Gingerbread led to unstable devices - Bozo or another kernel dev might take a crack at it again sometime, but since it's proven to be such a pain it's a low priority while there are bigger fish to fry.
I can tell you I won't be putting any effort into it - the feature is just not worth enough to me to justify the level of effort required to get it to work in a stable manner.
Yeah I'm back on froyo and using the infusion kernel and the bln gets really annoying. Especially since it won't disable for me.

why is it so flakey?? it works great on my galaxy s i9000t with speedmod kernel in froyo? is it just that the developers of the bln enabled kernels have not taken the time to integrate it correctly?

We have a different touchkey controller chip - it's annoying. Every attempt to implement BLN for this chipset has resulted in:
1) Weird flaky timing - this is due to the architecture of the touchkey controller driver in Froyo, it's very BLN-unfriendly
2) Random reboots - trying to add BLN into the Gingerbread version of the touchkey controller driver causes a lot of potential nasty race conditions involving entering/exiting suspend. Every time LinuxBozo found a bug and squashed it, another bug surfaced. After a week of messing with it, he ripped it out and we're focusing on other higher-priority stuff like Bluetooth for CM7.
Yeah I switched back to the community kernel from the infusion kernel on infused 1.6. The lights blinking were totally random and there wasn't even a notification. When I did have a notification the lights would just stay on. And like I said, this was with bln friggin disabled! Lol. I've never cared for the feature to begin with. Not that hard for me to push the power button and see if I have something.

Captivate switched to LED notifications?

Hey, lately my captivate decided to switch its notification ways. Instead of vibrating and showing that i got a text at the type, it just stays silent and turns on LED home buttons. I have no clue what i changed. I don't have any LED hack apps. If this happened to you, please help. Thanks

i used the bln control app, but now after my phone vibrates on a text the notification goes away and is freezing up

Freeze issue on Imnuts' 1/15 kernel

I'm having an annoying issue with my Charge. Whenever I try to record with the Camera the phone just freezes and reboots after about 10 seconds. Yes I'm undervolted, which is what I'm suspecting as the issue but I went into Voltage Control and set the voltages back to 0 and to no avail, it still just froze and rebooted. I tried overclocking to 1.2Ghz without undervolting that clock speed at all(1GHz and below were still all undervolted) and it still just froze and rebooted.
The weird thing is this happens on the stock undervolt settings that the kernel comes with. I'm going to assume Imnuts' just didn't have the time to test all the apps individually for stability issues when implementing his undervolt script. I know it's an issue with the kernel(almost positive it's from the undervolting itself because i had stability issues exactly like this back on EE4 when i would undervolt) because if I reboot and flash imoseyons 4.0.0 kernel recording is fixed.
edit: I just tried removing my Voltage Control boot settings so there shouldn't be any undervolting going on(aside from the stock undervolt script thats included with the kernel) and it still just freezes and reboots. I'm guessing it's either the undervolt script or the kernel itself. Anyone else have this issue? If so how'd you fix it? Thanks in advance.
just tested. i use the default uv settings, oc to 1200.
camera was able to record fine. no freeze.

How long did you let it record? and was it on 1280/720? It usually freezes on me after about 10-20 seconds
I just tried to record.. Freezes after 4 seconds reboots just like you described. Eclipse ROM+PBJ 1.15 kernel. Oh also no overclocking at all for me

While I never use the camcorder at that resolution, I tried it now and had the same freeze-up. Running tweakstock (fancy that lol) and pbj kernel - I tried this without any voltage control-style modifications. I have some vague recollection of similar issues at some other point, and for some reason I remember the class of sdcard being part of the conversation... I of course can be (and most likely am) completely off on that, just thought I'd mention it.

I remember that class 2 cards can't do HD video, but class 4's are supposed to be able to. I never do video, but I have a class 4, so I tried to see (on Eclipse) and it crashed to the point of forcing a reboot. Not sure now if it's ROM or kernel.
just tried hd vid. on eclipse w/Imos 4.0 kernel with no problem....
Mine did the same thing and I am just using the kernel and the new eclipse

I have been running the pb&j 1/15 kernel and Infinity rom for a day now with no freeze-ups or reboots. I haven't messed with OC'ing or voltages, just wanted to see if the new kernel made a difference. The phone is now much smoother in operation and quicker in response. Very impressive.
I saw this post and walked around the house scanning barcodes using shop-savvy and had no issues at all. This app does a lot of stuff on top of using the camera and just flies now.
Also getting freeze-up when trying to record HD vid.
Running Tweakstock 1.1 and PBJ 0115
edit: *UPDATE* - I just flashed Imoseyon's 4.0.0 kernel to test, and HD recording worked flawlessly. So it does seem to be the kernel which is causing the issue (in my case at least). Can anybody tell me how to pull a logcat so I can send it over to imnuts?

See anyone running Imos kernel doesn't have the issue so I don't believe that Eclipse is the problem, although it is still possible.

Yeah I remember back when Gummy2.0 was released I had that issue. I know it's not the same thing though because whenever I would record it would give me an error message like "This SD card does not support HD video recording" or something like that and it would just close the camera app, it wouldnt just freeze and reboot.

I'm positive it's not a problem with the SD card. I'm on Tweakstock so for now it's to be assumed that the kernel is the problem since cujo6801 already tested Eclipse with Imos kernel and had no problem, but adrenaline_rush tested Eclipse with Imnuts' kernel and it froze/rebooted. Pretty sure it's a kernel issue at this point.

Try your actual Camera and attempt to record video @ 1280/720, then tell me if it reboots.
I got the freeze and reboot every time with Eclipse and PBJ at 720p. Flashed Tweakstock with PBJ and it worked. Then tried Eclipse with the ep4d kernel and that worked too. I thought it might be the camera so I copied the one from from Tweakstock into Eclipse and 720p recording worked fine undervolted and oc'd to 1200.
Edit: Tried it again since reflashing updated Eclipse and it locked at 10 seconds. Guess I was lucky last time. Shot multiple 45 second plus videos ok.

Tweastock with PBJ freezes and reboots on mine too. Never froze on Tweakstock with included kernel
Checked the comments on Imnuts' kernel over at RootzWiki and i can confirm it's a problem with the kernel, in addition to that the HDMI port doesnt seem to work.
I have been getting froze screens and 1 reboot also, since running imnuts kernel. I thought it was maybe the ROM but doing a little research IM finding the kernel has an issue. I didn't try the camera with imnuts kernel but I've flashed imo 4.0 kernel and the recording does work w/o force closing on me.

Also be careful overclocking on PBJ, I set it to 1600 max on SetCPU, and after a few moments it froze and rebooted. When it rebooted, as soon as SetCPU was granted SU, there goes another freeze. I wasn't able to change the settings due to the freeze, and after a few reboots I was taken to the setup screen like you would see after a factory reset. But this came with random F/C errors and lots of non-functional apps. You can't do anything at this point but restart from stock+PIT and go up from there. Reflashing the ROM, kernel, restoring, even ODINing another ROM won't rid the F/C hell.
Same thing as this, when I tried to use the Voodoo screen tuner:

Oh also people stated imyosen kernel was a battery drain, but it's been very good on battery so far.

Stable and Fast ROM?

I just got my G2x from my Optimus V and I'd like to flash a new ROM. I've already rooted it. What ROM is stable and as close to pure Android as possible? I hate all the bloatware that come on these phones from the carriers. I've been reading through all the ROMs in the Dev section but my head is spinning.
If you want super pure, your best bet is probably to stick with stock, since the G2x came with vanilla Android. Use Titanium Backup to freeze/uninstall all the bloat you want gone.

CM7.2 (really any CM7 based Rom) is the way to go. Stay away from ICS if you just want everything to work since Nvidia iz not releasing drivers needed for hardware acceleration on the G2x.
Few things to watch out for...
1. Memory managers/app killers are generally a bad idea for stability/battery life
2. Watch what baseband you are on. March2012 has broken bluetooth calling. You may need owain's baseband fix to patch an incompatible rom with your baseband.
3. Some CM7 users have better luck with Morfic's Trinity kernels vs Faux.
4. Lots of overclocking will likely result in stability probs regardless of your Rom/kernel combo (beware of undervolting too)
5. Stock 2.3.4 is now a viable option for stablity. + u could even overclock with Faux's 014b kernel for rooted stock.
6. Read the forums!
Get comfortable with making backups in CWM (oh you shouldn't use CWM Touch - or ROM Manager to flash anything - CWM 5.0.2.0 is fine) That way u can expriment, but restore back if it all starts going to shjt.

Yup, I've been reading a lot and saw some of the things you've mentioned, but thanks for the ideas.
I haven't touched basebands, should I do anything with them?
I'm on 7.2 Stable, do I need a new kernel to OC/UC? I can't seem to get it to work as nothing comes up when I'm in the CM menus.
I'm familiar with nAndroind backups as I did them religiously on my last Optimus V phone.
EDIT: Nevermind, I flashed Faux 050 now and can OC/UV now.
Looks like you are doing fine. Congrats on figuring out how to flash a Rom/kernel.
Faux 050 stable and CM7 based Temasek rom is what I've been running for weeks now. If you don't have obnoxious static during phone calls (sounds like loud popping) - you don't have a baseband/rom compatibility issue. The baseband is just the firmware that controls the various radios in the device. Some have reported clearer calls and quicker GPS with the new (March 2012) baseband, but the hassle of upgrading to it is - well - a hassle. Also, If you use like to use bluetooth for calls, you need to NOT upgrade...
I am on the new baseband (I don't have blueteeth) and I'll sometimes need to flash the compatibility fix that enables you to run the new baseband with roms designed for the old baseband (or now, for roms/basebands on our international cousin the LG P990). Check owain's Domination thread for his "baseband fix", it will probably come in handy since some roms authors are not clear about whether their rom is for the new or old baseband.
You would just flash the fix through CWM after flashing a Rom, if you find that you have the call sound static...
You might also need a free app called "Get Ril" to fix your Radio Interface Layer. It automatically checks for compatibility and will automatically apply the RIL it detects that you would need if your calling sound has static.

If you are comfortable with backing-up and restoring Nandroids, don't be afraid to at least sample some of the ICS builds. IMHO we have some awesome developers making the best of things considering the massive handicap that is presented by Nvidia withholding the drivers. ICS is getting more stable all the time. Fixes are now being incorporated that address memory-bleed issues, data-dropping, browser rotation crashes, missing APNs, and various stability improvements. Still probably not "daily driver" for most people, but you could be your own judge...

Things seem to be going well with CM7.2+Faux050. I'm waiting till the end of the month for my Virgin Mobile month to end before I start up with T-mobile $30/month plan so I won't know if calls are clear for now. I'll try gVoice sometime soon just to test it though.
EDIT: Once I'm sure this ROM/Kernel is stable I'll do a nAndroid backup and play around with some of the ICS ROMs.

I use GrooveIP on my other phone where it doesn't work on 3G b/c VM service is so ridiculously slow. It should work on 4G though, but I won't be able to test until the end of the month.
Gotcha. Be aware too that T-Mobile's "4G" is really more like 3G in most places. I see speeds between 2-5 Mb/s. I really only use my GrooveIP at home on my relatively fast Wi-Fi so I am not going to be the best person to talk to about how well it all works on T-Mobile's data network at our "4G" speeds.
Anyhow, its been good chatting. I gotta get some sleep now. Night...

Gotcha. Be aware too that T-Mobile's "4G" is really more like 3G in most places. I see speeds between 2-5 Mb/s.

Well, when you come from 100-140kbps 2-5mbps is screaming fast! As long as data is reliable inside buildings around town I'll be a happy camper. It's late here too, but I can't stop playing with my new phone
I spoke too soon... Battery was at 50% a minute ago and now it's stuck on 100%. Tried rebooting and wiping battery stats but no good.

CM7.2 (really any CM7 based Rom) is the way to go. Stay away from ICS if you just want everything to work since Nvidia iz not releasing drivers needed for hardware acceleration on the G2x.
Few things to watch out for...
1. Memory managers/app killers are generally a bad idea for stability/battery life
2. Watch what baseband you are on. March2012 has broken bluetooth calling. You may need owain's baseband fix to patch an incompatible rom with your baseband.
3. Some CM7 users have better luck with Morfic's Trinity kernels vs Faux.
4. Lots of overclocking will likely result in stability probs regardless of your Rom/kernel combo (beware of undervolting too)
5. Stock 2.3.4 is now a viable option for stablity. + u could even overclock with Faux's 014b kernel for rooted stock.
6. Read the forums!
Get comfortable with making backups in CWM (oh you shouldn't use CWM Touch - or ROM Manager to flash anything - CWM 5.0.2.0 is fine) That way u can expriment, but restore back if it all starts going to shjt.

What's wrong with CWM Touch? I've been using it for the past few months with no problems whatsoever.

There were some problems flashing some things with Touch. I can't remember which right now. Maybe Trinity kernels?

It's the lack of proper ext4 support.

[Q] BLN and Viber on Nexus S

Hello everyone!
I have a question.
I have a Nexus S with BLN turned on. It's working excellent except when i receive a message
via Viber it doesn't turn on. Actually it turns on but it turns off in a second because the screen
turns on.
So my question is: Is there a way to disable the screen turning on when i get a message on Viber so that
BLN could work?
Thanks!

I've changed numerous roms and the message always turns on the screen. It doesn't unlock it, only turns it on.

Ru using NSTools?
If not change kernels and use NSTools so u can control the length of the BLN.
Some ROMs kernels are just basic, so getting a better kernel gives u more options and control.
Search ur ROMs thread to see what kernels work best with it.
Good luck

I've used NSTools since i rooted my Nexus which was in december of 2011.
And i always use Marmite kernel which has plenty of options so...
Nonetheless, thanks for your help man!
If it won't work, it won't work. I can live without the light for Viber messages.

It's a Viber issue. Viber team has stated multiple times they would fix this, yet haven't because they lack the "man power". Usually a pretty simple fix, heck, it has to be implemented for the screen to turn on rather than for it NOT to turn on, but whatever.

BLN problem
Hi all!
I've Nexus s/CyanogenMod/Marmite 8.5 BM.
The BLN keys don't work with the marmite kernel but work with stock cyanogenmod, marmite does not support BLN or I've made an error?
thanks ......
Install NSTools from Play and activate BLN.

Marmite supports BLN but not blinking.. if u want the blinking leds u could use BLN CONTROL from play google.. It should works on CM 10 too..
