Hi,
This kernel is odin flashable and uses a binary copy of chain fire's current ramdisk for JVB (aka CWM, root, etc)
Also has the led notification patch from CM7, and led timeout of the touchkey but won't actually make the notifications, as it's missing liblight (mostly cause i'm tired atm)
The main purpose of this kernel, beside providing a quick fix for the leds, is to let whowever wants easily patch in the timeout (and eventually notification) into his own kernel
sources: https://github.com/kangsterizer/linux_gt-i9000 (use branch gingerbread-samsung)
binary: http://kang.project-voodoo.org/f/CF-JVB-LED-TM.tar
enjoy - provided without any warranty, support, etc, at your own risk. i will probably not update this kernel - unless some stuff for the led is rly necessary to clear up
note: also contains 10 fingers touches and uses the NS driver instead of the old froyo driver
Hi, looks realy good!
Please fix it and we will test it for you!
Thanks for great work

Do you mean I can play Fruit Ninja with both hands now?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
yeah lol
its more useful for 2 players on tap tap or stuff like that
Works great
Touchkeys dim after 2 seconds (I think it's 2 seconds, maybe only 1? I don't know, but they definitely dim).
CWM works as expected, too.
Hi,
what about the hole tweaks which exist?
Could you implement this all to get a superkernel for us?
Hey, I've installed the voodoo hack for JVB, can I flash it over it?
it's 1.6s to be precise haha
i suppose it works over voodoo, CF init should take care of it. no warranty ofc. i did not test. if it goes wrong just reflash voodoo. always backup. etc.
this kernel is just there hoping someone will pickup the patches and make his own kernel out of it (or just patch it in his own kernel). i won't be able to maintain that one and the CM7 one.
that's why it's very simple. has most of the stuff you might expected minus voodoo, and if you copy a liblights, it has "bln" (as in led notification) too
Ok I've flash it over Voodoo and it works fine but I've not the 10 finger multitouch :s

Because it's also framework dependent. Samsung framework has limitation to 5 points.

hi bilboa, thanks for the kernel, works as stated hope the devs use the patches
cheers
Hi, dont understand this!
How could i do this?
How can i patch the kernel?
Where can i get the patches?
Please could you do this for us?
I believe, only a few people could do this.
Can you insert in GB kernel BLN and all other mods?
Would realy cool for us

there's the kernel included if you don't know how to patch stuff..
the kernel is gb, has led notification (not bln, im not neldar) and it's already there and done
people who know how to patch stuff might include it in their own kernel with more goodies as they usually do
Hi, thanks for info!
But what is led information?
S hasend got a led?
Same as neldar use, led from buttons?
how to set the notifications? blink rate, timeout, which apps ...
i think we need an app for this, or a settings.apk mod with LED settings.
yes its similar to bln
no, there's no app
some apps on the market can make use it it though.. lightflow and friends i think.
i'm mostly using CM7 tho (which got builtin settings for LED)
i think most will be interested in the LED light time out and then either use the led notification implementation + some app to setup (although it works default) either use neldar's BLN
How can we use neldar BLN???
How can we aktivate this in your kernel??

Hi Dev's
This is not my code, so credits to the owner 'creams'
I happened to stumble on some code yesterday from somebody who have attempted to integrate BLN to his kernel and done it successfully.
I thought the dev's might like to take a look at this one and implement this on their work.
blog : http://creamsnexus.blogspot.com/
git : git://github.com/creams/SGS2-SC02C-BLN-Kernel.git
His kernel was built for the Jap version of GS2.
Cheers!
AdamG has already implemented this into his AOSP ROM and it's working fantasticly, I know another Dev has already implemented it into a ROM just forgot his name. Thanks for pointing us to the source though!
hope that the devs give credit to the fix/implementation.
Ninpo also has putted it into his GIT so maybe they are already aware of it
oh i gave him a pm about it before i posted this.

Don't know about MIUI but for sure on CM7. It's probably low on their to do list but BLN is something they will most definitely support just as they did with the 2X/G2X

Back Light Notification
using the led keys for notification.
Yay, my kernel will have BLN support to in the next version, just need to build all the seperate versions
(time to make a "one-for-all" kernel, that goes onto any (stock) ROM.... )
the only downside to this bln "version" is that it uses a kernel wakelock that will be hard on the battery

Yep, people are in for a treat when they realize their battery is being raped. We'll have to wait for CM7 to implement it into the framework like they did with the Optimus 2X/G2X
Nothing can beat the old good trackball lights on N1

Yeah.... that is.... so not nice.... but well.... can't have everything.... :-/
// EDIT
Hm, for one, maybe some things can still be tweaked in the involved kernel code and for the other, how about disabling BLN when not needed? Does that release the wakelock? Haven't checked yet.... should check....
And does the drain/wakelock accour all the time while while activated or only when the lights are actually on - as far as I understood it so far the wakelock ist required to keep the powersupply up for the lights, but when no blinking is needed (due to no notification) the wakelock could/should be released....
Maybe that's something to tweak if that isn't already the case.
If the drain only accours when the lights are on, that's kinda OKish IMO, time to answer the damn phone *lol*
so creams put out an update that is supposed to release wakelock after the led cycle (pro app needed)
That would be an acceptable solution, I am testing to see
ps, btw jlevy he wasn't keen to your battery rape comment

It wasn't anything personally directed at him. I'm very grateful for his work in bringing BLN to our devices. I appreciate the update it looks like it will have a helpful impact on battery life.
Do you guys think a fix for the Led color issues will be possible? Is there any way to tell if it's a hardware issue? I'm wondering if it would be worth it to return the phone. I bought it in early July... Am wondering if it's been fixed in newer ones
I've owned the International GS3 & the AT&T version. It'd ridiculous that this issue hasn't been addressed yet. I've receive about 4 update on my Int. GS3 & it has yet to be corrected

I know on mine google voice makes it light up solid purple, which most likely isn't the correct intention.

LED not working properly is a known issue and from what I've read, it's software related which means a fix will happen (possibly even with JB release).

Ya, the colors are off. I have an app that can change the color for whatever I want and it doens't work well. Red and Blue are great, but thats about it. YOu can see it trying to change but the color mix is way off.

Hmm, mine is blue for text messages, purple for facebook notifications and red for google talk. I don't have a problem with those colours.
I have a constant green light that appears when I use that app. And no, it's not charging.
I flashed ktoonsez's KT747 kernel and my LEDs work well now. I can even configure colors if the apps allow it.

Thanks. Tried this kernel - it fixed the main colors (RGB), but Pink, Orange, and etc are still ugly. They look like a unmixed paint of different colors.

Odd, I have the same kernel installed (the stock one though, I dunno what version you have), and my notification LEDs are screwy too... Except for the red charging, blue Gmail (which I can't seem to change) and Green fully charged... Which work perfectly. So yeah, probably a software issue.

Dev has found a fix for that but only for rooted GS3
8 August 2012 - fix for GT-I9300 settings in root mode. Updated translations files for new languages added. Testing on non S3 phones. Added support for another 24 apps. Started to prepare build for next release to play store (this usually takes about 1-2 days depending on if any issues are identified in the "lite" version of the app as development is all done on the full version)

Light Flow release the app today. Its in the market

That's strange. I am completely stock and my phone only blinks blue for all notifications, including texts, gmails and google talk. Is that not normal?
Hi there,
is there a way to use the Menu and Back button on the bottom of the phone as a notification LED? Just let it blink if there is a notification in the system?
Greetings
Christian
I have tried several apps (BBS Notifications, ButtonLED) to accomplish this, unfortunately without any success.
The BBS Notification was able to control the button lights, however when the screen is off the lights do not work. Some phones do not allow the lights to go on, when the screen is off and as it seems S4 Mini is one of them. I also hope someone will find a solution for this, preferably one that will not cause too much battery drain.
Another option might be BLN mod. However, I read that the BLN modification in kernel might cause battery drain exactly because of the necessary changes in power management in order to allow the button light to work when the screen is off (the BLN mod for Mini does not exist yet as far as I know).

hello
I think the BLN kernel solution is better than any noLED app or other.
So I am very interested in a BLN supporting kernel.
Were can a user as me ask for this or can see the progress in building such a BLN-supporting kernel?
Thanks
Tom
You can try noled it uses your screen led for notification but drains battery
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
As I wrote I this the BLN is much more better.
If you look at night on your superAMOLED screen while a noLED sign is there, the whole screen is lighter.
As far as I see this app (noLED) is not able to let our wonderful AMOLED screen totaly black but gives a little light on the whole screen.
So: were can a "new" user as me, with 2 years CM experiance at his Galasy S I can ask developers to create a BLN supportet kernel?
I dont want to post it in the wrong place here in XDAdev.
thanks !
Tom

Xiaomi has started putting one colour leds in their devices. From what I have seen, no one has been able to enable colours on whyred's led. So, I assume the the led itself is white only.
It is only white.
Not only that, but it is also too dim.
It's dim and when it lights up when you have a notification, it's not smooth at all
