BLN Problems Nexus 4g NS4G Look Here!!! FIXED?

For all people using the Nexus S 4g (NS4g) that cant get Back light notification (BLN) Working this is what I have done for it to work.
You must be rooted and must flash Netarchy Kernel for the 2.3.4. Im using 1.3.2
CFS Stock. I am also on the Stock Rom.
First of all you should be able to use any version of the BLN Control APP. Do not try and use the "Test Section" of the BLN Control APP because it will not work and it will discourage you lol.
If you want a quick test just go to "Activate BLN" on the BLN Control APP and then close the app. Press the power button on your phone so that the screen is off. Go on your home computer and send your self an email to your Gmail. Once you receive the email your lights should glow (Blink if you have the Pro Version)
Now if you are using the Stock SMS app just turn your notifications on and as long as the screen is off when you receive your notification your lights should glow (Blink if you have the Pro Version)
If you are using another SMS program such as Handcent of GO SMS there are some options you will need to tweak.
I am using GO SMS. GO to settings, Notification Settings, enable notifications and then go to default notification settings, under screen settings UNCHECK where it says SCREEN ON.
Then go down to LED Settings. Make sure BLINK LED is checked. You also may want to enable reminders just in case you turn your screen on.
NEGATIVES ABOUT THIS MOD: Once the screen is turned on the glow or blinking will stop until you get another notification. Also if your screen was already on when you receive your notification it will not blink or glow when your screen automatically turns off. Also if you have another notification in another program that turns on the screen your glow will not work. Keep these in mind.
If anyone knows how to fix these issues please let me know.

Thanks. That certainly saved me some time (though I still wasted some on the 'test' feature ).

[Q] looking for quick settings in CM7

I'm new and I've searched the threads and of the links i have found no one has answered them. So please don't flame me for not searching.
I recently rooted and have tried a few roms. I liked CoreDroid, but I recently switched to CM7 stable (7.0.3) and haven't wanted to go back. However there are 2 things that I miss from CoreDroid that I don't have.
1 - the quick settings tab under the notifications pull down. So that I can lower the media volume. Ultimately i'm looking for an easy way to mute the sound when playing games, and the other settings do not seem to work.
2 - Someone had a package for the battery icon in the status bar of CoreDroid to change the battery to the circle battery. Will that work in CM7?

#1. Check under cm settings for sound profiles. I am sure your answer is in there.
#2. NO!!! You can just got the ultimate kitchen and create a flashable add on for a circle battery an d a lot more! If you flash the other one from coredroid you will need to flash the rom over again as it will soft brick.

Both of your concerns can be addressed, here is what you need to do.
CM7 has a feature that is better than the HTC Sense quick settings tab. There is a built-in power widget in the notification bar at the top of the screen, where you can pick and choose exactly which toggles you want to go there (you will want to add the "Toggle Sound" button). To configure it, press your phone's menu button > CyanogenMod settings > Interface > Notification power widget > Widget buttons. You will see around 18 buttons that you can enable/disable. The buttons that are enabled are what will show up in the notification bar. At the bottom of this screen you can also customize the modes of some of the buttons (the sound toggle is configurable to allow you to toggle between different sound modes). Go back one screen and you'll see "Widget button order" where you can change the order of the buttons from left to right. The notification bar can hold 6 or 7 buttons before you'll have to swipe to the right to see any additional ones (I've got 9 buttons).
There is a circle battery mod for CM7 in this thread. If you primarily just want the battery only then you'll want to flash the file called CM7_stable-DHD-SmoothC.zip (you flash this in recovery mode). If you want to give CM7 more of a blue themed look in addition to the circle battery, then flash the file named CM7_stable-DHD-Blue_SmoothC.zip

Thanks guys. I've tried the settings in the power widget. It still doesn't change the media volume. Could it be a bug? If i set it to vibrate or silent neither changes the media volume.
Thanks for the circle battery post, i'll try that this weekend. I'm new to the droid, been brainwashed by apple for a long time. So far i'm not looking back.

You won't want to look back the more you get to know Android!

[Q] Q: How to remove social networking pane from notification panel

I just ordered my SK4G, and after trying one out, am itching to get the bloatware off. Would it be possible to remove the FB/Twatter shortcut with Metamorph?
I am planning to run stock 2.2.1 w/SuperOneClick & CWM (until a good Cyanogen port hits), and have at least some experience dealing with franchise device bs. In-depth h4x much appreciated.
Thanks in advance, 31337 of XDA

Settings > Display > My Social Network Status
Unchecking that will get rid of the update pane in the notification panel, but you lose the pane with the toggles for wifi, bluetooth, gps, vibrate, and auto rotate.
I leave mine checked and just swap to the toggle pane when I start up the phone. It doesn't swap back to the status update pane unless you turn off the phone, so it doesn't get too annoying.

Groovy. I suppose I can wait until that little frivolity is patched along with Gingerbread, unless Cyanogen hurries up, what a weird place to put a setting like that... 0.o

Thanks, the fix worked fine. Btw I'm using Widgetsoid in place of it for customizeable settings buttons.

[Q] Endy 2.2 flash screen ON when sms comming not working.

The same problem as in the subject. When I sign this function (information led is enable), nothing happens.
The same combination whith RunnyendeS ROM worked perfectly. Could someone try this on his endymnion v 2.2 rom?

Settings > Privacy > Message notification preview, checked?
Messages > Menu Button > Settings > Notifications > Notification preview, checked?
Settings > RCmix3D Settings > Misc Options > SMS Screen On, check then uncheck then check again.
If that doesn't work, I don't know whats wrong.

All checked and marked (unmarked too and marked again). Nothing - black screen, only notification light is blinking.

*shrugs shoulders*
I'll try to test it tomorrow, but neither my second nor third handsets have any mobile credit.

I'll be grateful

Hi there,
It won't work. Reason is in Endymion I use the stock sms app. The one from RCMix and ports, although it does allow for screen-on on receive, has other issues:
- secure box won't work
- block list won't work
- changing between these folders can lead to a state where you actually have to kill the app to get back to your inbox.
So, at least in my mind, I chose the lesser of two evils. But you can extract Mms.apk from Rcmix 4 and replace the one in endymion if you want to.
Cheers

Thanks a lot, now I know, that there is everything ok whith my rom. Anyway sms flashing in not a life and death case for me and I think that endy 2.2 is the best rom for my phone.
Peace

My phone doesn't vibrate anymore?

So I have my phone on silent the majority of the time. Now recently for some reason my phone stopped vibrating for texts and any other notifications completely. I can't even get the timer in the inbuilt clock app to vibrate.
The motor or whatever vibrates the phone is working because my phone vibrates when I go to adjust the vibration settings. But it doesn't vibrate for notifications.

For text messages idk what rom your on but go to settings in messaging and find the vibration settings

What Rom are you using?

Ya may need to go into the messaging and email app settings and change the vibration settings there.
Next time you may want to post this in q&a section as well. I can hear the trolls coming out from under the bridge already. Just a heads up
Edit: I may want to realize which thread I'm in! Lol. Sorry, but the settings piece still applies.

I'm on CM9 and my notifications were not vibrating either. I went into system>sound>silent mode then chose vibrate. I also went into the settings of text messages under vibrate and chose "only on silent". See if any of that helps.

I dont have any vibration settings in the default text message app. Samsung's clock timer isn't vibrating on silent like it used to, I messed around with the sound settings as well and nothing changed.

I had this problem yesterday. I wasn't getting any notification for text messages. I would see them only when I turned the phone on and looked at the screen. Turns out I was playing around with the CM9 profiles settings, and had it in night time profile, which by default sets the vibration and volume to 0. You can either change the settings of that profile, or just set it back to default profile.
Having said that, it is kind of handy being able to disable notifications during certain hours...
