[Q] GB BLN alternative? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Since BLN won't work on the kernel needed for GB roms, is there any alternative to it? NoLED won't quite cut it, I'd like an app that does the exact same thing as BLN does, as it uses almost no battery power and immediately catches my eye...

what is BLN?

I'm going to bump this thread. I know there isn't bln for GB...but
i'm excited for it to come out soon. Will make GB complete.

Bln is like the only downside to GB

Yea, I would like to know as well. I have tried noled, but it's a battery killer plus potential burnins.

super amoled doesn't burn in.
Noled is just to useless for me.

Droid Overclock [Pretty Sweet App]

Droid Overclock is an app I ran across on the Market today with all sorts of nice features.
It may have been out for awile, I just didnt see it.
It costs $1.50. Very Nice App
Looks like it does alot more then setcpu
Oh yeah, I bought this app when I had my d2. Wasn't sure if it supported the incredible though and I just use the built in overclocking in CM.
Its a sweet app though and jrummy did a nice job with the interface.

Makes your processor operate at a faster speed, speeding up your phone. It kills your battery faster though.

Actually (What effects screen brightness and OC CPU have on battery) speeding up your cpu doesn't effect that battery as much as you think its very minimal. So overclock all you want
Does it harm your phone in any way?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
This actually looks a lot better than SetCPU. I like it.
If you overclock too high, to a incompatible setting, the phone will just go into a loop mode. The setting won't be stable.. it errors itself and can't correct it. So you need to scale it back down. Sorry if I don't know all the terms and such.. dinc's are fast just to begin with. I oc'd so I could try and get better benchmark scores. It worked and the phone was stable to where i could use it all the time problem free. I managed to get scores I could be.. once that happened I stopped clocking up, and started scaling back. Undervolting the system with a different kernel / governer setting will yield you the best battery life..

Regardless of your partiality, you are still correct. To back up this statement, I point to the current battery life on my infuse. I am sitting at 11% after 3 days, 50 minutes with a screen on time of 2 hours over those 3 days. One hour of voice calls and HEAVY text usage.
ZEUS, quite simply put, ROCKS.

!!!Zeus!!!​​
Is ZEUS the most stable as well?
Stability is the #1 factor for me. That and lack of amateur theming. Can't stand it when authors choose to put in weird looking fonts and other stuff. I watched the video that showed off zeus rom though and that is definitely not the case. EXTREMELY pretty.

ZEUS! it is!!
All normal fonts and colors! Been running it for weeks now and I don't want to switch to anything else. Had problems with other roms like Bluetooth not working (which is important for me) but not this baby!
I used stock rom Roger 2.3.3 XKG3 changed kernel to InfusionGB-CoreB2, Thunderbolt tweak and Go-launcher-ex themes, it's stable work well.
Yeah definitely Zeus. I run it and it is pretty much the ****.

I've enjoyed using CM7, but am looking to switch to a ROM that sites basic 'phone' functions better.
Any recommendations for a nice ROM that sites a superior job at: accessing data, making and receiving calls, Bluetooth headset operability, etc?
I have constant trouble with all of this on CM7, and need to do better...despite living the ROM's other features.

I use led flash and vibrate think it cost $1 works all the time don't need bln support
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
It's actually compiled into the kernel. It's not a stock feature. You need to check the kernel feature list to see if it supports BLN. Then, download the BLN app from the market (either free or pro) and adjust the settings. I would rather have the kernel support over downloading an app that runs in the background that's always running. Just me.
I completely agree. Most kernels claim to have BLN support but I have only got it to work with cmwizzy which is da_G's cm7 kernel I think. Would love to know if anyone has got it to work with GB based kernel/roms ?

Just checked this out! Fastest way to drain battery ever. My screen didn't go dark completely, it just dimmed down and stayed like that. Luckily this is a script run by Script Manager, and it's activated when you turn off the screen.
Seriously not recommended

Funny, it has been working fine for me. For anyone who doesn't use an app like setCPU and is on the OLD baseband this would be great. This on the NEW bb WITH a screen off profile is even better. It's still not pre-new base band like drain, but I don't wake up with a mostly drained battery. I just looked at faux's release notes and it sounds pretty tailored to the new bb, so I think I will see how his does alone.

Jarvis kernel already have this implemented
Excuse me folks but alot of people can't use the new faux kernel and Jarvis kernel isn't exactly stable on all phones niether, the guy is simply sharing something he found, what about Harsh, Morfic, etc??? This works wonderfully with morfics kernel on Cm7.2 stable even with undervolting, I get huge battery saving now, so be easy gentlemen

When running as a script it cant find files it look for in /sys/power/ i think tegra has diff management so it doesnt work.. maybe simce faux implemented in hia kernel it doesnt work.. i am in limbo myaself.

codename and nexus beam seem really smooth. right now im on nexus beam and im loving the smoothness, but its based on an old version of cm9 so there is little customization. if you want customization id go with codename
The latest version of Nexus Beam is really nice and extremely smooth.

Either one there is smoothness. Battery doesn't overheat much on both. Soooo....... All about user preferences
I'm in love with nexus beam to tell you the truth it fast smooth and it saves on gas (battery)

To be perfectly honest, I haven't tried Codename-- yet-- because I'm already happy with the Nexus Beam ROM.
It has decent WiFi strength & solid battery performance.
I might give the other a try-- if I get bored with Nexus-- but I certainly don't feel like I NEED to do it any time soon.
Codename is prettier than Nexus Beam and also SEEMS faster and smoother, but both are slower than GB. I think whoever programmed ICS put kludge routines in the kernel to induce people to buy faster phones. NOT OUR DEVS! some technicians at Google, I suppose. Hint though -- kernel needs overclocking added.
Notes about 'awake' time between these 2 roms:
Codename build-1 kept 'awake' all the time, Beam pre-final is better, but still on and off for 'awake', longer for 'on' than 'off'. Codename build-2&3 got into deep sleep with no 'awake'. So, in terms of battery performance, recommend to go with Codename build-3, also better than other ics roms.
PS phone condition for the comparison: during the night time, wifi off, data off, airplane mode off.
Trying out code name to see how it runs

Thanks for the suggestion. I switched to your froyo one click (with some bali kernel or something) and my phone have never been so responsive. No hurt in running this version right?

I can't tell if you have the most subtle sense of humor, or if you just don't know that FB is actually running a special Eclair ROM on his device.

No - it's apparently so secret that you don't know about it.
I was kidding about running that ROM at the moment, but it was the Froyo ROM I used the most until we finally got the KJ6 drop and the custom roms that came with it. It was so smooth and looked so good, I couldn't get enough of it.
Just wanted to keep this thread alive by saying that after trying out both recent builds of both roms , nexus beam seems to be better with on screen time but tuks rom was better with off screen time. I need someone else to confirm this
