Just posting this to see if anyone else has experienced the same problem (and hopefully was able to fix it).
I flashed BeastMOD II v4.0 last night (which I LOOVE because of the speed, smoothness, overall feel etc.) BUT, BLN will ONLY work with e-mails and not text messages. I've tried all kinds of different display and notification settings but for the life of me cannot get it to work with texts.
I even restored my phone to the rom I had prior (Juggs v3.7, which BLN worked perfectly for), then re-flashed BeastMOD whilst whiping everything twice just to be sure. Still the same exact result.
If anyone has ever experienced this before and knows why or how to fix it please post!
Thanks
EDIT: Tried flashing Bullet v2.9b and got the exact same results, so I'm thinking it might be an issue with the ROM.
I have used BLN on synergy for cm7 and stock, and with bullet. It works for everything but tstkmg for me but I use chompsms and it have its own screen wake quick reply option that I use.

You are right. It appears to be a rom issue. I have the same problem as you.

At least i'm not the only one lol. I actually restored an older backup (Juggs v 3.69) and got everything working perfectly...reflashed BeastMOD and same thing, works for emails only. Sucks.
But overall, this ROM so outperformes all others I'm actually willing to go without the BLN working correctly....but am seriously WAITING FORTHE FIX ;-)

I third your results. BLN had issues for me too with Beastmod. Plus I had Gmail push issues which were later answered after going back to Juggernaut 3.7 which is flawless, but a bit laggy at times for me. It could be just suffering the usual symptoms of any Operating System we have all seen with Windows OS variants on PC's....just getting a bit slower and flakey with time. NOT here to bash any ROM. Overall, it's been the most stable of all ROMs I have used as well as the most satisfying from the get go with installing.
Bln has to do with the kernel not the Rom and most kernels have posted that it doesn't work with stock sms I've been using go sms pro with jugs 3.7 along with bullet 2.9 and haven't had any issues also remember that on most apps you have to activate Bln in settings
Edit: Remember you also have to have Bln control installed from the market

Hm that was the interesting thing - I knew it was kernel related. However people in the thread said that BLN use to work for them on a different rom.. I will try gosms when I get home, but BLN did use to work for me before.
I'll post this here just incase any of you miss the post:

Tried it, still failed.
I'm telling you, I have gotten BLN to work flawlessly with several other ROM's/Kernels, but NOTHING, no Kernel or settings will allow BLN to work correctly with text messages with this ROM. There's something in the coding that's preventing it.
I noticed that no matter what my settings are, whenever I receive a text message (if notifications are set to allow screen on) the screen always turns on for exactly 6 seconds, then turns off and nothing else happens no matter what the settings are. So something in the ROM is dictating the screen on time for SMS, and is overriding anything what ANY Kernel says, and is probably also overriding something that needs to be changed for BLN to work correctly.
And if I install a 3rd party SMS app that prevents the screen from turning on (or change the settings with the stock SMS app), the screen will stay off when I receive a SMS message, and the back light buttons will never turn on, so that's even worse lol.
Just my guess.
I'm still using beast mod 3.6, but it works very well with 3rd party apps such as go sms. It activates the capacitive buttons on all texts. It also will allow popup and screen on from the settings, i just don't like this as it can hurt my battery life with the screen on. I'd rather it just give me a notification tone and light up the capacitive buttons.

Yeah, I'm sure it works on BeastMOD v3.6 (just like how it works on all other ROMs and Kernels that supposedly support BLN), but the fact that it doesn't on v4.0 sucks. It's definitely a ROM issue. I just hope the developer addresses it with the next release since I really like the speed and feel of the ROM overall.

Really? Are you sure you turned the stock messaging app's notification feature off? His work-around worked flawlessly with me. It also stopped turning on my stupid screen when I receive a text which saves a bit of juice lol.

Yup, when I turn the stock one off the screen never lights when I receive a text. Then if I install a 3rd party app the screen may or may not turn on (whatever setting I choose) but BLN will never work regardless of what setting I choose.
There's something in the ROM that's f'ing with BLN with my phone. I wish I knew what it was. All other ROM's/Kernels are fine, just this one has issues.
this may be a long shot, but did u disable the setting to force all notifications through the 3rd party SMS app?? try go SMS again, but go into settings-recieve settings- make sure "disable other message notification" is unchecked.

Weird, I haven't tried Go SMS because I like the stock messaging app. Exactly what I did (Following the person's post) was:
1. Go into stock messaging app settings -> Uncheck notifications.
2. Download SMS Popup from the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.everythingandroid.smspopup&hl=en
3. In SMS Popup Settings -> Enable SMS Popup.
In their Additional settings: Turned quick reply off.
In their Notification settings: Check Enable Notifications, and Check blink LED.
4. Went into BLN Control and made sure BLN was enabled.
Voila it worked for me. Hope it helps. I understand your fustration .

We were talking about BeastMod which uses Synergy Kernel as stock. Correct me if I'm wrong but Bullet Kernel HAS Bln support while Synergy does NOT, hence the reason we were stating it's a ROM issue. I installed bullet kernel on Beastmod. Bln did not function. I have the market app Pro version of BLN. Yes, it works with Juggernaut. And yes, I also ONLY use GoSms Pro. So, it is a ROM issue I believe wrt Bln not working. But the Beastmod Co-OP told me on their thread they only recommend using Synergy with Beastmod and not Bullet. So this issue is moot I would assume.
EDIT: I have not specifically tried those extra settings mentioned. So I will have to try a fresh install with those specific settings mentioned. But are you guys that state Beastmod 4.0 works with Bln and Go SMS Pro...using Bullet kernel instead of Synergy? At least I hope that's the case.
Edit: MY BAD>>>>>>>>Synergy does have BLN support. I will go sit in my corner so please don't holler back I can't read Back to reinstalling BeastMod 4 and using settings with GoSMS and turning off stated settings etc in stock message app.

I think the whole issue with bln is that both the stock messaging app, and gosms stock settings both force sms notifications to go through those programs. bln has to be able to read the notifications. enable other programs to have access to the notifications, and you'll be good.

I have tried every method posted in this thread AT LEAST TWICE, and they never work with this ROM (at least for text messages.....e-mails WILL trigger BLN, but not SMS messages for a still unknown reason). These methods work with other ROM/Kernel combos, BUT NOT THIS ONE.

Hi All,
Been trying to find something that will work like NoLED for the SGS2. I have issues with NoLED in that in combination with Handcent sms and the popup notification, it gets its self in all sorts of messes (loops etc).
I've seen there is a BLN mod for SGS1 which allows the buttons to act as notification lights (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813389) however there's nothing that I can find that works for SGS2.
Anyone found a solution?
BLN is supposed to be very close to being released for our SGS2.
i'm using NoLed since the first day i bought the phone and there's no issue.
+1 for this thread
Coming from a Desire, Im really missing my LED notifications... So any alternative is highly appreciated.
Can't use NoLED because I'm using WidgetLocker and therefore I disabled the stock lockscreen (which I truly HATE!)

Compability issues appears if you run widgetlocker, handcent etc. Noled also disables the functions of the sliders that appear on stock lockscreen. You know the one you get an SMS and a slider appears that takes you direct to the message. Function is broken with noled

I'm running Go SMS, WidgetLocker and NoLED and haven't come across any issues yet...
Can apps like this cause a burn in? And wont the continuous screen-on weaken the colors over time?

Answer, yes it could cause burn in, I don't think colours will be damaged though.
The biggest issue here will be battery drain. Using an app like this users processor power and screen power at a time the phone would normally be sleeping.

Function is broken? Not for me, works with the messages slider without any problems. Also, since I started using Handcent I have had no problem with noled either, noled works everytime I get a message, email etc. Strange how it works no problem for some but others have nothing but problems. :-(
use application BubbleBuzz from Android market
I got a problem with Noled in that if I use "other icons" for calls (Phone), the phone flashes and show who is ringing but immediately after that, the screen off the display in split second and only shows the green phone icon moving randomly(which signifies a missed call) even though the call is still ringing
Not sure if its explained clearly enough though.
Did I set it wrong?
I can't use anything with noled, not widgetlocker not the sliders from stock lockscreen etc :/ thats weird

I have both Wigetlocker and NoLed and they work fine together. At one time on my SGS i9000m they had a conflict but i spoke with the dev of NoLed and was informed that a fix was coming and i have the latest NoLed on my SGS II and have no issues...

Me too no issues at all ..thanks to madmac .
NoLed works perfect with Widgetlocker, just check settings in both programs to make sure nothing is blocking unintentionally
Has anyone seen any update for this? I've tried reinstalling it and still have issues. I need something like NoLED badly
The new message notification LED on my (new) LTE Gnex only flashes once or twice, just when the phone boots up. Doesn't flash when a new message arrives. I've tried disabling it, and re-enabling it in settings, but it just does not work. This does not seem normal, and I'm wondering if I need to return the phone, which I really don't want to do. I've already unlocked the bootloader and rooted, but still running the stock ROM.

Have you tried Light Flow from the Market?
This has worked with the stock ROM.
I personally use Trackball Alert Pro - MoDaCo ROM has suppport for this.
Just tried calling myself, and hung up. The LED isn't lighting up. But I have seen it blink for emails at least. Hmm.. maybe try light flow.

Have not tried any 3rd party apps, yet. First I wanted to know if there was a problem with my phone, or if this is "just" a bug. If others have this same problem, then I'll try a 3rd party solution. Thanks for the feedback.
Tried the same thing, called myself and sent messages with no led notification. Thought my led was broken but then installed light flow and it worked no problems.
Not sure how it was supposed to work stock but could not get it to work at all without a 3rd party app.
Without the app, the only option I could fight was pulse notifications which I tried turning on and rebooting but it never seemed to work.

Just tried light flow. When I tried the "test LED" function, my phone would no wake from sleep. Also got sleep of death when I got an email. Had to do a battery pull. Any solution for this?
I looked at Trackball Alert and it requires Paul's ROM, which I'm not ready to try (yet).
I noticed it doesn't light up when it's charging either. Is this normal behavior?
From what I've seen so far the stock light is a hit and miss for me. Only time will tell how they will improve this.

Yep. Probably don't have/use most apps that support it for me to notice it all the time.
I've been having the same trouble. Haven't seen the light in days.
I went back and revisited some of my settings. I had turned on the setting for the screen to "stay awake while charging." I unchecked it, and now my light is working again.
Now, it only ever comes on when the screen is off to begin with. It won't come on if the notification happens while it's already on.
But at least the light comes on when the screen is off now!
(And I really wish the blink rate was higher. You can look at it for several seconds between blinks, and think there's nothing and look away.)
So the change I made to the settings seems to have fixed the light issue. I have been properly getting notifications since I turned off the keep awake. Seems like an easy enough to fix bug as long as they know about it.
But now what I want is a faster blink rate. One second on out of every 6 or 7 seconds is easy to miss.
I am trying to get bln working on my phone but I am having an issue where when I receive a message my screen turns on and when it turns back off the softkeys will not stay lit up. I have looked through all the options and either I missed it or the option is not there. Will I have to use something like handcent or is there a way to stop the screen from turning on with the stock messaging app?
My screen doesn't turn on when SMS/MMS comes in. BLN working as it should.
What rom are you using?
I am on JUGGERNUT V4.0. It seemed to also do it on the stock rom as well. Is there another rom I should try out?
I am using BLN control. Is there something better or is that it? I used it when I had my Fascinate and it worked well.

I'm on Jugg 4.1.
My screen doesn't turn on with Jugg or stock.
handsent sms you have option for it
I am actually on 4.1. I am going to have to look into it. Every time I get a text my screen turns on for a couple of seconds and then going off. I have checked every setting and can't find anything.
Thanks for the help. I must just be retarded or something.
Alright I got it working. The screen still comes on but BLN is working. Thanks for the suggestions.
The LED notification on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus is shaky at best.
I mainly get notifications for Gmail and Google Voice texts. It seems as if it only sometimes actually work. It seems worse for the Gmail notifications, but there are many times that I pick up my phone and see that I have an email when there is no LED blinking.
I'm not sure if it just never came on or if it stops after a period of time, but what the heck is up with the LED? Why bother putting something on the phone as a feature and not having it work correctly.
I'm currently on a custom JB ROM, but it has only worked very inconsistently at stock on ICS and any of the other ROMs I've tried.
**** And yes, I know about Lightflow, but don't think we should have to use a 3rd party app to enable something that should already be working.

I am very new to my galaxy nexus but I've noticed that the LED basically only blinks for GT/whatsapp messages while for other apps/missed calls/sms it only blinks once at its very best, that's why I kind of forced myself to use lightflow. There are some custom JB roms like Liquid Jelly Bean that offer advanced LED management, you might want to try those.

I think I also read that the free version of LightFlow doesn't support Google Voice which is one of the main 2 notifications I get.
It's just very surprising that this feature of the phone works so poorly. And even more surprising that there aren't more people making noise about it.

**** And yes, I know about Lightflow, but don't think we should have to use a 3rd party app to enable something that should already be working.

I had the same problem, and I still think that LED notification isn't as good as what it should be...
If you have a custom JB ROM, I think your best option is to look for a CM10 rom, because in the screen settings, you can change the behaviour of the LED with different apps.
I installed the kernel that supports BLN then I installed lite Rom version 5. Now I downloaded the BLN from the market and it said my Rom supports it. Unfortunately when I get an email the button lights don't go on when the phone is sleep. Same with Facebook notifications but it did work with Google talk. Someone sent me a message and it lit up quite nicely and stayed on till I woke up the phone. Anyone else experiencing this? I looked in Facebook and made sure on the app that I have light notification enabled but that did not help. I could not see any options from the email. I use the built in email from android not the Google one, the white one with the blue @ sign is the one I use. Am I not enabling something? Please help I would love this to work properly.

I second this. BLN works, but not consistently. I can't quite put my finger on why the performance varies. It works during sleep, but not always. It works while it's awake, but the screen is off, but also not always.
The only thing I may have found is that BLN works less often when I have the app triggering the notification open/active. So, when I'm in a chat and I put down my phone after a message, the screen will go off after 15 seconds. The other party may have replied within 20 seconds, but it does not always trigger BLN.

I wish it would just trigger on everything in the notification section. Unfortunately kind of useless if it is only sometimes getting triggered. What good is a notification light that does not work? Sorry, I know how hard some people have worked hard on this and I am not trying to upset anyone, just stating that it is not there yet to be reliable and fully functional.
I had the same issue previously on older versions of the lite kernel. I ended up flashing the kernel twice in a row and it seemed to fix the issue. I haven't seen issues since. Maybe upgrade to the most current lite kernel?

I couldn't get BLN Control to work with Handcent SMS so I downloaded Light Flow Lite, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite.
So far it has worked great and I haven't seen any of these intermittent issues. Maybe it will help one of you guys.
