Stock ICS kernel with BLN? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As title says, I'm looking for only one more feature from stock kernel - LED notification. Now, there are lot of kernels with a whole lot of (for me) unneeded modifications, and only thing they give me - reboots! I used a lot of them, and most will eventually give me some reboot (I'm talking about GB kernels), now, I switched to stock ICS + stock kernel, and I used my phone for a few days without any problem, so I'm thinking about keeping it as stock as possible.
Anyways, is it possible to manually edit stock kernel (I know it is, but is it easy for n00b like me), and only add BLN to it, and keep it stable? Can someone point me to some n00bish tutorial on how to do that, or maybe someone can add that option and compile it for some of us that likes it?
And, no OC, no any other thingies, just BLN...
Thanks...

same here, why I flash another kernel is only for BLN..

You may wanna give this a try.

Thanks mate... Will try it...

You can also use NOLED with no icons enabled and the dot colors set to black. this keeps the screen off (on the NS) and only lights up the buttons. No root, no flashing kernels.

my display turns on with those settings. you dont actually see something, but the backlight (or something) gets activated

I've put together a stock kernel with just BLN/BLD.

[Kernel] Flash/SD activity LED

Some of you may have seen my previous thread with SD activity lights... I've gotten that integrated with the nand trigger I developed over the course of that thread so that both can share an led!
New and improved version 0x02 includes:
- new mmc-and-mtd trigger (and set as default for the chin buttons on dream, and the jogball backlight on sapphire)
- latest cm-kernel 2.6.33.4 branch (o/c support included now)
- new versioning scheme... major releases with new features have a hexadecimal number, test builds within those versions will have a v# format like the previous thread.
Special thanks to:
-meisterlampe2000: sapphire testing and jogball idea
-yokonunz: bringing up the idea of putting an eye on internal flash
-cyanogen: codebase
-koush: anykernel for easy packaging
This might seem a lil noobish but is it possible to combine this kernal with the Universal OC kernal to get 600+ mhz + SD LED activity?
Well done !
This will be my favorite until we get FroYo
Nice.
Worked with me. Flashed after CyanogenMod 5.0.7-DS.
Thanks you
hi brother
thx 4 ur work..
i have installed the file.. but i really don't know what is exactly did !!
i have just got my keys(end ,send,home,back) flashing light randomly !!
help pls.. and how can i uninstall it ??
thnx & good luck ;0
The lights are not flashing randomly. They flash when either the phone's built in flash (nand) or sd card is being accessed. Think of it as the hard drive usage indicator on your pc.
You can uninstall it by flashing your current rom over it, no wipe.

Do you normaly flash random things without reading what they are?? good way to brick your phone.
I have been using this since first release on my Fender and it works perfect. Was driving at like 2 am lastnight, had my phone in my lap, and the trackball started flashing. My chicky friend was like "hey, its looks like your pants are doing a pretty cool light show lol.

by default, this will flash any time anything gets read or written, on internal memory or on sd card, so that means apps2sd apps, and sys apps getting loaded.... unless its already cached into ram, in which case it won't generate any activity.

It should work fine... also, if you're not using heroled, that means android isn't using your rgb led on sense, right? If so, from adb shell (with or without my mod)
#echo mmc1 > /sys/class/leds/red/trigger
Should give you standalone sd activity monitoring on the red one, and if running my mod, you should be able to:
#echo nand-disk > /sys/class/leds/blue/trigger
To get the same effect with internal flash...

Just flashed on HTC Magic 32B running CM5.0.7, works like a charm. Finally I get to see my trackball LED more often!
i havent tried this yet, so im not sure if this feature is implemented or not with the sdcard notification, but i was wondering if you could code something thatd allow the led to flash different colors if you have multiple notifications. like if you have a text, an email, and a voicemail, and you have a blue led for the text, a green one for the email, and a white one for a voicemail, the led will flash one color 2 times then cycle through the other color, flash 2 times, then cycle to the third flash 2 times, repeat. is this possible to implement?
this can already be done in either spare parts or advanced settings on cyanogenmod ! not sure where but i did see that Option. ..

are you still working on this? maybe some upgrades. I love it, wish my fender had a multi colored trackball like the nexus 1, would be great to switch colors.
It says also that (oc support) in the newest version. Does hits means it is overclockable past 528mhz or that we can also add the OC kernel. I just want use the 576mhz OC one, not the insanely unstable 628mhz lol

Yeah, I'm planning on adding a way to toggle the triggers between being an indicatior and stock android behavior, then perhaps adding a network activity trigger, and possibly a configuration tool...
And to answer the o/c question, I don't like fried bricks either, so It's the 576mhz table in my kernel, just like the latest cm release.

[Tweaks][KD1][UPDATED 9/2] Sduvick's Big Thread O' Tweaks v1.1 - PDT

As I continue to make random tweaks, they will be posted here.
All of these tweaks are built on KD1, you have been warned. It's possible that they may work on KG2, but I have not tested them, and it's very likely that they won't work on KG2.
All Tweaks v1.1 (Volume Tweak, Settings, Notifications, Joystick & 10 Second Notification LED Flash tweaks ):
http://www.multiupload.com/75796T1NQS
Volume Rocker vibrate and silent tweak
All credit to the original patch from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016556, I just added it to the framework.jar from KD1. This adds both the silent and vibrate options to your volume rocker, ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE VIBRATE SET TO "ALWAYS" OR "ONLY IN SILENT MODE" IN SETTINGS.
AS FAR AS I KNOW, THIS ONLY WORKS ON KD1.
I'm using/working on/with GingerClonev2, therefore I'm working with a KD1 framework.jar. If people care enough, I suppose I could patch the KG2 framework as well, but as of now it's bedtime, as I have to get up for work in the morning.
This should be CWM flashable, just flash and go, don't wipe, don't pass go, don't collect $200 (even if you really want to).

Full Bat & USB DEBUG & Joystick enable Tweak
This next tweak was just random stuff that bothered me. This will disable the "full battery notification" as well as the constant USB debugging notification.
Also, as the only real improvement with KG2 was the option to disable the optical joystick, this integrates that option into KD1, if you want to use this option, be sure to flash the Settings app below to control that option as well.
This may or may not work on KG2, if you're on KG2, test at your own risk, make a backup first

Settings Tweak
This is a settings.apk that has the DriveSmart, Notification Popup, Theme Manager, and Software Update menus removed, allowing the safe removal of those apps, as they are not really necessary/useful
This is a modified version of the KG2 settings, as it integrates the Joystick disable option, therefore it *should* work on KD1 and KG2. currently running on KD1.

If there are any experienced kernel devs who wanna help out with porting the SK4G Kernel to 2.6.35, that would make CM much easier to port.
How do I install the settings tweaks in order to enable the option to disable the optical trackpad?

I tried that, I can't find the joystick setting. I'm using a stock ROM that I ODIN'd last night back to KG1. Could that be why? Where would I find the setting if it's there? Perhaps I'm just not noticing it.
There's only KD1 and KG2, there's no KG1. It should be in Settings>Accessibility>Enable optical joystick
I have a request. The stock messaging app, (and notification popups and SocialNetworkingService Composer) doesn't recognize the enter key as well, the send key. Can that be fixed (even if just on one of them)?
I don't use any of those pieces, can you describe the issue in more detail? What should happen, and what does happen?
It's the stock messaging app on the stock kd1 firmware that ships with the sidekick. Basically, pressing the enter key on the keyboard gives a newline, instead of sending the message.

I believe you can enable that option in the settings of the stock messaging app.. but I'm using aosp MMS so I'm not positive
Edit: yeaa i dont think the sidekick messaging app allows that..
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
I dont know if this can be done though the sidekick has smooth transitions and such just the only thing that looks choppy is the notifications bar when you pull down which does seem a little choppy while other devices are smooth as butter. can this be tweaked on the sidekick?
Just curious... why would anyone ever want to disable the track-pad "joystick"? I mean, maybe if the keyboard had arrow keys like it should, but even then, it's pretty recessed and I've never hit it by accident, so why?

[Q] SKY ICS update 7 missing "select input method"

Hello,
Has anyone noticed that you no longer have the "select input method" notification in update 7? I had it in update 4. When I went over to update 7 (and subsequently 8), that option is missing. So the only way to change input method is to go all the way into settings. The notification is available after the base zx install, but the update wipes it out. Is there a simple setting somewhere to turn it back on? I searched in this and the dev forums and cannot find it.
Otherwise it's a great ROM. Thanks dev!
This is a one time thing. U don't change input method all the time on the fly. It is a bug none the less, but one that may only bother a select few users... maybe only u
Did the dev explicitly say that? GB was long press in the input part to bring up the option to change input method. I'm pretty sure the notification is ICS's replacement, as the stock Nexus does this. You have to explicitly turn it off in a custom rom. Some kind of shortcut is needed for many many multi-lingual users. I use English most of the time except for a chat app. Don't have to have the notification if bothers others, but a shortcut to bring up the dialog should definitely be available.
seanzscreams, can you please comment? It's a great ROM and thanks.

base to update changes a lot
I've noticed that the non-wipe updates on this ROM do change or eliminate some of the cooler features of the base. For instance, the settings in the base have the different colored, more detailed icons, while the update changes them all to boring blue.
As for the input method, I believe that in ICS, you change that under settings, language and input. In ICS, you can choose multiple keyboards or input methods, with one as "default". I haven't experimented yet, but perhaps the option to switch only shows up if you have multiple input methods selected? Can anyone verify this?
I'm new, so I hope this helps...
EDIT: Yeah, I tried checking off three different keyboards, but the long-press feature isn't there. Now I remember the notification bar change in ICS. The only way I can find to change the keyboard in this ROM is to go into settings and change the default. Not too bad of a task, but more tedious than before. There may be some shortcut apps in the play store that could help?
Isnt there an option on your status / menu bar... That's were it is in smooth ice

You'll make that in the next week.......!!
Thanks LPMatt and droid512. I know in most other ICS ROMs, including stock, the standard way to change input method is to use the little icon in the status bar. That's what I meant by "change input method notification". I also know you can always go through settings to change. To go through settings, I would have to get out of the app I'm using and it's a lot of hassle. Dating back to eclaire Android has provided the shortcut (used to be long press until ICS changed it to the notification/status bar). Looks like Sky ICS ROM latest update just disabled a standard feature, either intentionally or unintentionally. While icenight89 is quite knowledgeable in general, I think he's misinformed about the nature of the feature because he doesn't have to use different keyboards for different languages. It is indeed a standard feature in ICS, not a "one time thing" or bug. I don't have enough posts to post in the dev forum that's why I posted here to see if any other multi-lingual user of Sky ICS has encountered this. I have also PM'ed the dev.
I'm quite knowledgeable?? Aww shucks, thanks friend.
To be honest, u are absolutely correct, I am not a multi-lingual user so I did not even know this feature was present. Based on the discussion I assume your talking about a quick select shortcut from the drop down menu that let u change ur keyboard on the fly?
If that is so its quite possible and highly likely he disabled it in the latest update, as that feature would be present in either systemui.apk or framework-res.apk, all of which were updated in D-7. My advice? See if u can get D-6 off someone then flash the base, D-6 and then D-8 until he gets around to fixing it

See you just proved your knowledge in pointing out the 2 possible apk that is present I think D-8 probably has a new one so flashing D-6 then D-8 would overwrite it again. I'll see if I can pull those apk's and use rom kitchen to make a new one until he gets around to changing it. Who knows, it's possible he did it on purpose as i have seen people complain about it since ICS came out. Most non-multilingual users find it annoying. I actually do too. I prefer the old long press way! Thanks again.
nope, just checked. He only changed the framework-res.apk in the D-8 update. What i suggest you do is pull systemui.apk from the original base first and replace it with root explorer. If that fixes it then you can safely flash the new update rom kitchen just the one apk.

Well tried to put systemUI.apk from zx2 base and didn't work. I guess I'll see if dev will respond or put it back in later. If not, I'll have to decide if the hassle is worth it or change to another ROM. Thanks everyone.

Mods for Stock, Rooted Phone

I am wondering if anyone knows what mods to use on stock rooted firmware to allow changing the battery icon and mod the clock for color, position etc. These are really the only changes I make to a phone after installing a custom rom. I also like the fact that custom roms have the bloatware removed. I can live with out using a custom rom if I can make the simple changes like. Thanks.

[Q] Any recomendations for SMS and Camera Tweaks?

I installed Resurrection Remix ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S 4G, along with Dsexton's Adrenaline Injector. Pretty sweet!!
What I was wondering if there were any other tweaks available to flash, for my messaging and camera features.
My messaging will only let me send limited sms'. That is to say, it won't send LONG sms'. It only will let me send 1 "page" at a time. So I have to cut my long sms' into mutiple messages.
Also, secondly, are there any camera tweaks out there to flash? On this ROM, there doesn't seem to be many "options" and/or features to pick from when in "camera" mode. Just basically standard.. picture.. or panorama. No other features that I can find.
Thank you in advance.
Try flashing a different modem for help with the long text message.

That is just sthing to improve the image quality tho. From what I read that the OP wanted to find a tweak or mod that enable more options in stock camera which is not possible nor existed. My advice: if u want more effect, use 3rd party camera app. Stock camera app of aosp roms was built based on what the libs support hence will not be able to expand over the limit (I mean the sets of options based on the hardware limits).
