I can confirm NoLED works great on the skyrocket.

wow seriously? do ANY phones do RGB led notifications anymore? I was going to return my HTC vivid because of the bootloader bit, and came over here to check out the skyrocket. But LED notification is a must have.

motorola has a broad spectrum of colors on their LED notifications. i loved LightFlow on my atrix/atrix2. every notification had a different color

Yeah it seems Sammy has moved away from this lil feature. Its not there on the SR or the Infuse last I checked.

I actually went away from NO-LED. Works great but I hated having to click the home button and than swiping the screen.
On my original GS I used some custom ROM's and most of them included the ability light up the buttons on the bottom of the phone if there was a notification. I am not interested in using custom ROM's on this phone but I wonder if there is a way to do the same on a stock ROM?

Doubt it, would be nice though. I miss having a notification indicator.

I use blinky for notifications. It's not an LED light but lights up the capacitive buttons when I have something waiting.
I'm on a stock rom, but rooted and run da_G kernel. I don't know if it'd work without the custom kernel.

From what I understand it won't work without a kernel that supports it. So I also rooted and installed da_G's kernel. Than installed BLN from the market. Loving my notifications lights.

And kernel makers wanna add in backlight notification mod?

Anybody who makes custom kernels for 2.2 wanna incorporate the BLN mod? Its the one thing that I feel 2.2 needs. Everything is great with the roms and kernels that come out, but that is one thing that is seriously lacking. I feel it needs to be addressed. So....any takers?

source for 2.2 just came out like 24 hours ago...it takes time to integrate mods into kernels..especially when most kernel devs for the fascinate/mesmerize/showcase have to get back into the swing of things after nearly 2 months off since froyo leaked
i didnt mean right away, just for future kernels. I think it would be a good thing to have.
+1 for this, NoLED is nice but unfortunately locks up my phone from time to time. Once again no rush devs, just showing interest.
I had it for 2.1 and I thought it was the best app ever. Its good to look at your phone from a distance and know you have a email/text/missed call.
yup i miss the notification light of my EVO.
if the home or search button came on when there was a notification that would be cool.
i dont think there is a hidden notification led on the phone is there?

Nope, just the soft-key back-lights unfortunately. It sounds like a neat feature, hopefully someone will bring it about.
The fascinate ROM's are exactly compatible with our system (if it's built on a voodoo kernel, then our voodoo kernel would most likely run it, don't ever run a different model's kernel/radio obviously) so if they do any work on it we could easily port it.
Bln worked with the 2.1 voodoo kernel (JT's, iirc). It's one of the few things I miss...

Noled works really for notifications too. Free from market plus it has specific icons for sms email missed calls etc I use it and love it
Noled isn't bad, don't get me wrong. I simply prefer bln

To be honest I've never tried bln so I must just be biased. A small led wouldve been nice tho...only thing I miss about my old crack berry
jt has already added the mod into the 2.2 source so don't worry, it will be there.
thats what i'm talking about! Progress already! Let it continue and we will have it in no time.

Yep, and his kernel was built Generic , I have it running on my mes with EC10 pick and pack - it works flawlessly so far
It would be cool if we could assign different buttons for different things, like SMS lights up the search button, email the back button, etc.

Actually, I am talking about the kernel he is building from the EC10 source drop. In fact, it looks like he's already released it between now and when I wrote that last post. It has the works: BLN, Voodoo Sound, Voodoo Lagfix, Undervolted, It has network speed increases, an interactive cpu governer, and more that he doesn't even mention.

LED buttons

I've flashed a lot of roms on my phone and on most of them led buttons (home, back, search... at the bottom of the phone doesnt light up when you navigate through phone...can someone tell me why is this so and if you can fix it somehow by your own?
Sorry if this thread is already up, i havent seen it...
They aren't meant to light up in normal use. They are only meant to light up when the room is dark.

Can you tell us what is your current ROM please?
I had the same problem in CyanogenMod9, when I turned off the autobrightness. Somebody tells that it's because of sweep2wake function. By the way, when brightness is auto - everything works fine.
As far as i remember, on stock rom, those buttons always lighted up, and on my last 3 roms now they never did. I'm currently using Primos-s, but before i had Runny sense 3.5 rom, and didn't work too. i find this thing very annoying because i have to blind guess everytime... I have auto-brightness turned on, and still these buttons neve rlight up, even in dark.
In some Roms like Endymion which I use there's a tweak for the brightness at which the buttons light up. In stock they only lit up in complete darkness. Hopefully it works the same in Fallout ..
Tapa2 desire s
I'd be very happy if they light up only in darkness, but now they never do...hopefully, on the next rom i'll use they will work

As mentioned above, some ROMs have implemented tweaks so they will only light up in very dark conditions. In my opinion, this is even better.
Try another ROM.

[Q]visual notification for SMS/calls via hard buttons possible via mod/script/tweak?

I purchased this amazing phone bout a week ago. The one thing that bugs me is theres no notification in a visual form when receiving SMS / call
I was wondering if theres a way to make the Menu|Home|Back|Search buttons(hard buttons?) blink once every few seconds to let me know of new SMS or call.
Im new to android, Ive rooted / installed CWM and have nandroid backups. Also, edited some config files, so Im fairly comfortable navigating around the heart of android & linux on the phone. Plus fairly well versed in linux.
Only thing I have not done yet is install any custom ROM's, I prefer stock w/ root, thus far as I like everything working =P
Thanks

It's a kernel-based mod from what I have gathered, commonly referred to as BLN (backlight or backlit notification - something like that at least). I hear folks more knowledgeable than I associated w/ erikmm and team fah-q are working on attempting to figure such things out.

Two biggest things I feel like is the bluetooth and camera in call, neither of which really bother me, I just want the kernel source so I have something new to play with lol, although I doubt much has really changed.
it also changed the way the notifications works in the pull down.
when have a notification that can be expanded, it now has the easy AOSP style two finger pull pull down rather than what Samsung has going on now with the horrible pinch to zoom.

I'll just be happy when change those UGLY green and gray colors.. I mean we are in jellybean and they are using colors from gingerbread lol. It's sad because I honestly like the rest of the TW interface, samsung just seems to like dark, bland looking colors.

It really is too bad, with root, it takes me all of 3 mins. to fix the battery and toggles to the correct colors, I can't understand why Samsung couldn't either??

I know right? On my thunderbolt all I had to do was crack open an apk, switch the icons, bam done, and I made said icons with photoshop in no time. And if it was odexed, add maybe 5-10 depending on if everything works the first time lol
On a backend level, I really wish samsung would've cleaned up their kernel source some, there are warnings EV VER RE WHERE lol, the thunderbolt source wasn't near as bad. I'm not sure how the real kernel devs went about compiling theres, but I had to make a few changes to a few source files just to get it to compile. Thankfully there are people must smarter than me that had the same issues and found the simple fixes, all which would've taken weeks for me to trace.
I loved the green gray and blue colors from stock Touchwiz when I first got this phone but now I loathe them. As far as 4.1.2 goes, nothing too special it seems like, besides for maybe the bluetooth improvements.

the version of 4.1.2 I have also adds the Best Face feature to the camera (didn't see that listed in the updates specific to this phone, or I may be running some oddball version), either way it wasn't there in the stock 4.1.1 for me.
I do have an odd issue since going to 4.1.2, If I have my phone in my pocket and receive a phone call, I pull the phone out of my pocket accidentally touching the screen, I can not then slide to answer the phone call. I messed around and found a setting to answer calls by pressing home button, so I have got around it for now.
However I have played around more and discovered if at any point in time I keep a few fingers on the screen at once for a few seconds it seems to disable touch input all together and I have to lock the phone then unlock to get it back.... didn't seem to happen on 4.1.1 for me. Hasn;t caught me too many times but every once in a while it bugs the hell out of me.
Any chance the new update has the ability to change the APN or is it still locked down?
Thanks friends. I was going to flash the newest rpm and modem, do you guys see any improvements in signal strength?

Color Control, where'd you go?

The stock ROM used to have color control, allowing you to change hue, saturation....etc.
CM has removed this feature around a month ago. No custom ROMs or kernels have any color control beyond basic RGB sliders.
Does anyone know how to add this feature back in? Is there an apk or something that we can flash to get color control back?
I've been scouring threads for a few weeks off and on, and haven't found a solution. Does anyone have any suggestions/solutions?

I read that this feature was removed on 38R. One reason why I am still on the fence of updating from 33R.

Yellow banding still very noticeable on my device. As are the washed out colors. Not sure why they decided to remove this feature.

Did you turn on the screen enhancement in settings/display?
Yes, I see the color enhancements checkbox. Doesn't look like it changes too much. Just really miss getting to tweak color, saturation, hue...etc with the "color control" app that was built in.

I've tried reaching out to different CM members, Steve Kondik etc....but have gotten no answers.
It is a bit frustrating. Supposedly they are going to re-implement "color control" in a future update. For the time being though, we have no options.
