How about this great development team?

I'm so excited to see the development thread going strong. It's making me love my Infuse even more.
Any ideas/requests?

I'll start by saying I would love BLN support on GTG's Infused rom

Beyond an amazing feature.

i'm not sure i fully understand the purpose/use behind bln. can anyone point me in the right direction to find out how to effectively use this, and explain what it's for?
edit: nvm, i found some videos that explain it.

good that there is soo much cooperation. the kernels are truly community built.

One of the downsides of this phone is no notification light, but with BLN when you get a notification the bottom lights light up.

NoLED in the market also works great but may drain battery more quickly than BLN. Between the two, it certainly makes up for the missing notification led. I don't understand why Samsung is against providing a true led notification.

It's significantly higher drain than BLN.

on the topic of bln you can use tasker to turn on the led flash for notifications, it is a little obnoxious though.

Having no LED notification truly bothers me. That's one of my favorite features of my old X10.
But, am I able to use the Defuse kernel on GTG's Infused rom? Anyone tested/confirmed?

Awesome, flashing now

[Q] Making a notification light

can anyone either make me a app that makes the camera flash a notification light or point me in the right direction on how to make it myself? I am not very good at coding but I'm willing to try to learn. I know a little java and html, although it's been a while for both so i doubt they will be much good to me. Thanks!

you try noled yet? its pretty nice and almost (almost!!) makes me not miss having a notification light.

Or just maybe make the lights on the buttons below the screen go off......

I wasn't happy with NoLED. I see iphone got a tweak that allows the camera flash as a notification LED. I want 1 too! too bad i only no a little java which i havent used in 4 yearss ;-p

this would be awesome however I think its only doable through some custom kernel work which isn't possible as of yet since imnuts and other kernel devs have no source code

How is Noled on the battery though? I tried it on my fascinate and it seemed to eat through the battery. This has been almost a year ago though.

NoLED will slightly lower your battery life, but it's the only option we have right now. We just can't get true BLN without the source code.

It does eat your battery because it unlocks your phone. That said, it does have the option to stop itself after a set time frame. I'm never away from my phone for more than five minutes, so that works for me.

I have the proximity sensor setting on for NoLED and it saves the battery a ton! The screen stays off when it's in your pocket or holster and shows the notification as soon as you take it out. NoLED is honestly the best app I have on my charge. I love seeing the icon of the notification rather than having to remember what app was yellow or blue!

BLN seems pointless on this phone. The back light on the buttons is too weak to even notice it during the day. Which I did enjoy BLN on my fascinate, but seems like it wouldn't work very well on the charge.

That's not at all true if you're indoors. The button backlight is plenty noticeable even under fluorescent lights, and would be even moreso flashing.

I could be wrong but I believe this (BLN or back LED flash) is only possible through some custom kernel work, and since we have no kernel source code yet it can't be done... your best bet now, at the cost of battery life, would be noLED

Ya it is a custom mod for a kernel. Could be cherry picked into the froyo kernel source from neldar's github.
Fyi I am having IMoseyOn take a look into it since the people have spoken

Thanks. Currently I switched back to froyo so if I could cherry pick it in there, that would be awesome

[App] Sense 3.0 Lock Screen

For those of you who like/love the lock screen of Sense 3.0 then this app is for you. Its called Agile Lock and it has tons of options/settings for things such as changing the font of the lock screen, of course being able to have the 4 app shortcuts on the lockscreen just like Sense 3.0, and much more. I spoke to the dev/one of the devs behind this masterpiece (Bo Zhang) and he seems pretty cool and he said if I/we have any ideas to help improve this app then feel free to email him @ [email protected].
This app can be found in the Android Market by typing in "Agile Lock". There is a free version and a paid version, but I definitely recommend buying the paid version.

Yea its a nice app but it definitely wont work with cm which sucks cuz I really dig the app I tryed disabling cm lockscreen twice it was a. No go probably a good app for froyo or ota based roms

Why doesn't it work? Try emailing Bo and tell him. I'm pretty sure he'll make it work. He seems very understanding. I emailed him about 2 ideas and he said one of the ideas will be implemented in the next release and the other will be in the one after that. I just finish emailing him. He's awake!
Edit: I just caught on to what you said. Sounds like its an issue with CM7. Maybe you can contact one of the devs and ask them how to make it work. They should be more than willing to make it work since CM is about personalization.

yea its a really nice app i just restored my ota (2.3.3) rom and it works very nice with it, so it works great with anything ota based and im assuming froyo cuz they have the same lockscreen

Did you restore specifically for this app or you just like the stock rom? I'm on the stock rom also and I personally don't have any issues with it. I honestly must of had one random reboot in opposed to 5-10 on Froyo.

restored to try the app out but i will say cm is my home but on the other hand stock ota is imo pretty effin fast ,it might be the same kernel build (number) as froyo, its not the same kernel if u think about it tho u know? u cant use fauxs stock lg kernel on it and i know its gb, but i think they did things to it cuz its definitely the fastest rom out. u touch and it goes, so idk i might give this a shot now that kingdavid63 has a nice theme for it and this lockscreen its pretty sweet

I agree. I love the stock rom minus not having the LG camera and the radio needs to be updated. Places where I used to have signal I now do not have signal at all.

The dev did say the first time you start the app it should be a little slow. Do a restart and you should be fine. The app works fast for me.

Love having the sense 3.0 lockscreen, however I have a quick question. I'm on CM7 and i have it applied but the CM7 lockscreen still appears also. I looked in system/apps but did not see a lockscreen apk. How can I disable the CM7 lockscreen?

XDA member Sarni84 mentioned that same issue. I'm on the non rooted Gingerbread OTA so I can't check right now plus I'm at work, but when I get home I can extract the CM7 file to my computer and search through it. In the meanwhile go to the CM7 posting and see if anyone has found a solution or can find a solution. I usually get home around 5-6pm Eastern.

Thanks, I wish I created it. The benefit about this lockscreen is that you still maintain the speed of Gingerbread or Froyo and the beauty of Sense in your lockscreen.

Ya I've tried disabling through cm7 settings with the power notification setting, and through no lockscreen app from the market. Still a no go... I get both lockscreens no matter what. If the issue is fixed that'd be super sweet! I love the lockscreen!!! So nice and pretty

I had the same issue. Press the power button the immediately after, the volume up key. Not a permanent solution, but at least it gets the screen back :|

No problem. I found it to be too much of a hassle personally. Nice app though. Maybe future versions will be compatible with CM7-based ROMs.

Just got nexus s, does cm7 have led notifications?

Hey,
Just got nexus s, does cm7 have led notifications?
thanks.

Well, the phone doesn't have an LED, so no?
Honestly I haven't run CM on my phone, so I wouldn't know. There is an app in the market called NOLED that uses either the screen or bottom buttons as a notification.

You can download a kernel that supports BLN. I use Matrix, but I believe tiamat and Pete's kernels has them baked into their respected kernels as well. Also you will need to download the BLN app in the market. There is a free and Pro version. These will make the compacitive buttons blink when you have a notification. Hope that helps.

Cm7 does support BLN just download it from the market

I beg to differ.
I'm on CM 7.1.0.1-NS and BLN gives "Error: The BLN mod is not installed" on start-up.
According to all reports, a replacement kernel is in order - but that's then not standard CM7.

Lack of Roms

Is it just me, after i inherit this sidekick from a coworker as a co phone, i notice there is not many choices on Cook Roms. Coming from a vibrant, there nothing to use. Stuff that is months old is still not updated. Just wondering is there every going to be a GB rom.. like 2.3.x versions anytime soon?

This has been brought up many times but the main issue is really we lack a dev capable of hand writing drivers for a gingerbread kernal. And making drivers i can imagine is no easy task like the devs at cyanogen making Bluetooth drivers for the nook color when the device had no source code or existing code to go off of to enable blue tooth. Eventually samsung/tmobile will release a gingerbread rom for our phone but atm we have only froyo based roms to go off of an you can only do so much with froyo though ayoteddy did add a neat feature to glorious overdose that allowed swiping across the status bar to adjust screen brightness.
