How to get BLN to work on ICS? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ever since i shifted to ICS roms i can't get BLN to work with any ROM or kernel combination. I have used Glados, Franco, SG, Matrix, Speedy with CodeAndroid, AOSP+, Brainmasters ICS v6, AOKP. But it has never worked. It used to work properly on gingerbread. I have flashed rom by doing complete wipes.

You must use NSTool (https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.cyann.nstools ) to activate BLN

I've used ICUP Kernel before and NStools and it worked good. Try re-flashing kernel or updating to newer version?

i tried all versions and all possible combinations. i am right now in the middle of a complete wipe and install. also BLD and BLN work together right?

Seemed to, I had it dim the keys after 500 ms (I don't really care for them and don't need to see them to use them), and BLN for notifications. I used NStools to configure both of these options, but that was several NStools updates ago. At the time I was using Nexus Beam with ICUP speedy 3, but I've since moved on to CM9.
***Edit***
I did notice depending on the configuration that certain timing settings would not work properly, dunno why. Could have just been the way I had it set up.

NStools had BLD set to 500ms, BLN enabled
Didn't really change much else, no custom overclock settings or anything like that.
Matr1x also worked well for me on various ROMs I sampled

Since I moved to CM9 I am just using the CM kernel, it doesn't have all the configurable options that the others did, at least not yet.

Help! SetCPU

Setcpu FC's on me everytime i open it. Also at startup which option should i choose. There are a bunch of different phones (g2x not listed)
Not sure about the FC thing but you should choose the option that says something about Tegra 2.
G2X CM7
use recommended settings. and if your kernel doesnt oc you probably dont need to use setcpu.
No tegra 2. Theres [ARM] and [Custom frequencies] in running Faux's kernel

You can still use it to setup profiles. I run a screen off profile to keep the processor speed down when the screen is off. Helps with battery life.
G2X CM7
When you FIRST run the app it asks you to select an option out of like 10 and they're all different proccesors. Which should i select. I selected custom and [ARM] and they both FC'd after i hit them

What's the best overclock tool to use with the Skyrocket?

I came from the Hercules and I'm currently running Dewizzled 2.5 with Da_G's .42 kernel. If I use system tuner, it has no affect on the cpu... CPU tuner made my phone go into bootloop, and SetCPU makes it restart as soon as I go past 1.62ghz. With my hercules I had no problem running it at 1.89ghz
Hrm thats bizarre on cpu tuner and setcpu... have you tried the .42 with another rom? Also, if your able to use Da_g .42 without any SoD's (sleep of death) then you should really use Da_g .43 as it fixes an init script problem, which is likely why you werent seeing changes with system tuner. Seems alot of people have SoD's with various stock roms on Da_g's post .3 versions... so if you flash another rom and then start having them either flash .3 or change back to your working rom.
.43 Can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20090801&postcount=462
System tuner and setcpu also seem to force the second core online all the time, so its been highly recommended that you use a script to set the o'clock and such. Instructions are here, or if your not too saavy can use twopumpchump's pre-made version which is CWM flashable. (here)
It seems every cpu app I've tried revert the kernel back to it's stock settings. Faux's kernel is 384-1720 (I think) by default. I wish it was 192 as default. Every time I open up system tuner pro, setcpu, fauxclock, rom toolbox pro.....they don't stick. If anyone has a way of making it stick I know I'd appreciate it. Even if I choose set on boot it doesn't.

Thanks I'll flash that and see if it works I have a feeling that it's the mixture of Dewizzled and Da_G lol and I love TDJ's Darkside kernel but right now it's only available for the Hercules so it'll cause the screen orientation issue. Hopefully he'll make a port for the Skyrocket
I had the same problem but on coke rom with faux.. So I flashed the giedion script.. And now it seem to hold and go now deep sleep, and check it out in the faux kernel section in the development section.

I flashed faux's kernel and used system tuner but it still wouldn't stick until I rebooted... I have minimum set to 192mhz and screen off at 192 as well but in CPU Spy I only see 1728, 540 and Deep Sleep
How many overclock apps do you have on you phone at one time? And yes after you've made CPU adjustments click set on boot and reboot

1 at I time. I uninstall if it doesn't work before installing the next. i've had my phone with screen off for a while now and it seems that 75% it's staying at 540mhz, barely at deep sleep and rest at 1728mhz
I actually underclock my processor. To about 1ghz . As for your deep sleep issue I can't actually say cause I've never had the issue but look around the skyrocket threads. There's a lot of info on it.

i like nofrills
I use android overclock works fine on Da_G's kernel
Use faux clock for a faux version kernel. With any other kernel I have had great results with set CPU.

Sky-ics v7.4 ROM with faux 10m

I have skyics 7.4 running great. I just flashed faux 10m kernel and bam my auto rotation is reversed. I meant when I hold phone in portrair, it display landscape and vice versa.
Anyone know how to fix this issue? I tried to search but couldn't find a definitive answer. BTW, I have ATT skyrocket phone.
Many thanks
It sounds like you don't have the correct kernel for the Skyrocket. Is this the Kernel you are using?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437563
If so, that is the same combo I am using with no issues.

No doubt, that is where I got the kernel file. I re-downloaded again using your link, but this time I'll use the 10u.

You can use the 10m, but use the one for the skyrocket and not the t989
Now I'm doubtful. I might have downloaded a wrong version. I re-downloaded from link above and now works like butter.
Deep sleep helps so much in lessening battery consumption. Any other good benefits from faux kernel?
Many thanks esp seanz and faux for awesome ROM n kernel.

It does have it yes and it does work. But the link for Gapps isn't working so right now I need a ROM that works with BLN. Is there any other that's worth trying?

you can flash any ROM you want because if it has no BLN you can flash a kernel with this feature...
like bedalus kernel...and enable it via NStools..
S.R.
Or flash codename android 3.2.1. Its up to you how you want it.

Thanks guys. I had a look the kernels from Kernel manager. Right now just back on to the jelly bean, downloaded a BLN application that requires the kernel to support it (which my ROM does) and works perfectly.

[Q] [i9023] BLN with JB 4.1.2 factory ROM and *Matr1x* cfs v23.5 kernel

Hi,
I just flashed *Matr1x* v23.5BLN kernel for BLN support, but it does not work on my Nexus S i9023. I tried BLN control and NSTools for activation, but without any success.
Does anyone have experiences with BLN with the same configuration?
Thanks in advance

That's my same issue.
BLN can be set with some difficulties on JB.
In my case, I'm using Marmite kernel. BLN works, but I cannot keep the lights on.
... indeed: in testing mode within BLN control, lights go on but not when
a call or sms come in I think the best thing is to move from
factory to CyanogenMod or another custom ROM

Correct!
I'm using stock OTA 4.1.2 and matr1x 23.5 kernel, flashed using TWRP recovery, installed busybox, activated through NSTools.
BLN works excellent on SMS and missed calls. Blinking works fine too, OC 1.2ghz works fine also.

I did nearly the same: self-installed stock 4.1.2 via update from 4.1.1, CWM recovery, DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su - will try CyanogenMod M2 today
