Nexus s Kernel

Hey guys,
So I just compiled the nexus s kernel from source and flashed it on my phone. Now I want to tweak things up a bit. I was wondering though, what are some of the major things that one should change if he or she wants to build a custom kernel?
Thanks!

Overclock, governors, undervolting, CIFS, TUN, Maybe sexy boot animations? , BLN, voodoo color and sound, 1000hz, coolbho300's sleep fix, NFS, BFS builds.
Maybe support for more touches than 5?

SBC (only if you know what you are doing)

Hi,
Thanks for your input. I just want to undervolt it and include the voodoo sound and color for now. How exactly can I accomplish this?
Thanks!

Or just read the guide by supercurio on how to implement Voodoo Color -_-

Can you give me the link to the guide?

[Q] How to add BLN to latest ICS Kernel

Hello guys
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to edit the kernels from the ICS available roms and simply add the BLN notifications?
I do not want or need all the other tweaks.
I just want BLN added to this, nothing else.
Thank you
EDIT: IS the OTA ICS kernel source known yet?

No one?

have you seen dev section and see thoes ICS kernel ?

Using NSTools you can simply enable or disable the tweaks you want. At least you can on the GB kernels. I'd assume this the case with the ICS kernels that are available, but I haven't tried out ICS honestly.

Yes but those kernel have way too much tweaking for me. I want something simple, as my experience with that sort of kernels has drained my battery more than with a stock kernel (with fresh installs and all the wipes)

Yes but I was looking to implement that on a stock ics kernel. Just BLN, nothing else.

So, there is no one here on the forum that has or knows how to implement BLN in a kernel?!
people only check the android development section...that is sad bud true.

As far as i know BLN does not work with stock kernel neither with NStools nor with any other app.
Stock kernel simply does not support BLN.

People aren't building kernels from thin air,they are using the released source files for the stock ones and tweaking them afterwards. I only want to add bln to those stock releases.

He built an almost stock kernel for GB with BLN, so i'm sure he's already working on it.

Well, technically you could insmod a kernel module in...

that's what I want, to simply add to the ICS kernel source the BLN, nothing else.
I'm just trying to find a way to do it because this is not my area of expertise...
is the source for the latest ICS kernel for nexus S known? for version 3.0.8-gb55e9ac [email protected] #1 ?
tks for all of your tips btw

rooted ICS, but bln ain't working.
the kernel mods aren't there, so as the liblights; the app is not enough.
we have to wait for a modded kernel to use with stock rom.

my problem is that when every kernel is build by some developer, it is released with several mods that I don't want. I simply wan't to pick up the latest ICS kernel source and add the bln libraries and necessary files for it to work. nothing else,nothing less, just that minor tweak.

however no one of these are working with stock OTA ICS 4.0.3 as far as now.
let's see what the future brings..

BLN has been added to the stock cm9 kernel
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,11018

tks, so this means bln has been added to the latest kernel contained in OTA 4.0.3? or that it can now be added to the kernel? sorry man, I'm reading a lot about all of this, but if anything,I think I'm getting more confused...damn...

No, he was stating that Cyanogenmod has added BLN to their kernel. BLN will most likely never be added to stock android. You will have to download a compatible kernel.

I was bored so here is a kernel that should work for you.
Make sure you Nandroid before install as I'm not responsible for any screwups.
You may have to flash it twice if WiFi doesn't work the first time.
Only tested on i9020t.
I cherry-picked Ezekeel's BLN for this so he deserves credit.
edit:use NStools to set blinking

Thank you for your help, I will do a nandroid and flash it. Will give you a feedback soon as I have results.
Btw, This is like stock 4.0.3 ICS but with BLN added? No governors, undervolts and other tweaks, right?
Thanks once again for caring about the subject.
Regards,
Casca

Hello again
Flashed it last night and I believe it is working nicely my friend.thank you very much for helping.
Just for the record, although both, bln app and nstools work, it works better with bln app from the market as it alows enabling bln for missed calls also. With nstools everything was using bln except the missing calls.
Can/should I share your work?

You can but I don't really have any intentions of providing support, hence why I didn't post this in the dev section. It shouldn't need any as it's stock with only bln added so it shouldn't be a problem.

[Q] ics notification led app

Does anyone knows if there's a app that works with ics for the led notification led?
BLN control is not working on ics
EDIT:
I use the kwiboo rom and kernel

BLN works fine, but you have to use NSTOOLS to enable it

Oke thanks! I will give it a try

I have installed nstools and bln. But in nstools it says status not available and blink status not available. I have give me phone a reboot.

i think the kwiboo kernel does not support bln

Use Francos kernel.

Use Matrix kernel

How to get BLN to work on ICS?

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.

[Q] BLN without custom kernel?

Is it possible to have BLN without a custom kernel like mosh?
I had many SOD's on mosh but I really like the BLN feature when I have my phone on silent.
