Well, neldar and morfic of xda have done it, there is now a working back light notification for the Nexus s! morfic has included it in his latest kernels, Honity12 and Honity14. but, you do need the BLN control market app to make it work. there is a free version and a pro version in the market, i recommend the pro version. it has much more options, including controlling the speed of the blink. heres a video demo of BLN on my nexus s--> http://goo.gl/tUcD6
also, heres morfics Honity thread, download links for the kernels are in the op--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973125
Fantastic!
I have been waiting for this
Working perfectly for me! Great work.

weeee finally thanks for letting us know
Cool it works. So pretty much we have to buy the pro version if we want it to be useful at all? Right now when I get a notification it turns on the button LEDs for like 2 seconds then turns off, and that's it, doesn't keep pulsing...
wait for this since i bought this phone now its perfect!!
waiting for a BLN kernel which work with the NSCollab ROM

yea, you do need the pro app to get the full features. on the free app, itll blink again(like every minute or so), just not right away.
thanks for the heads up! I guess it's time to change kernels for the first time for my nexus s. Didn't see the need to in the past, as I don't really need more speed.
backing up CM7_RC2 right now, and getting ready to flash the kernel and buy the BLN app
edit: sorry to go off topic, but does anyone know of anyway I can make notification sounds repeat like they did on NoLED?
can you control what icon will be shown
WOW sounds great
Question
Can i control it to the level that -
SMS will light the HOME botton
Mail will light the SEARCH botton
MISSED CALL will light both BACK & HOME bottons
??
Well, I'm using this kernel and it seems to be causing issues where the capacitive buttons are unresponsive on screen unlock. I think morfic is trying to fix this. I seem to have stumbled across a work around that I can't post on the developer thread(being "new" and all). Don't know whether anyone else has mentioned it.
If I leave the BLN test notification in my notification bar alone. Then the issue doesn't crop up any more and my buttons and BLN feature work fine.
Sorry, scratch that. That was a bit premature. The issue is back when I leave a notification unattended and lock my screen. My bad.

sadly not for all nexus s user
I've found a bug with the kernel where if on keylock you touch the shortcut buttons. Once you do that they light up and it doesn't fade away, only happens when I take it out my pocket. Also sometimes the buttons when unlock done illuminate and aren't clickable resulting in a restart.
Has anyone else seen this? If not it might be down to my set up.
Same problems here. You might want to try morfics s10 BLN v3 test kernel.

BLN is very buggy. when charging the phone and getting a notification it will cause the phone to freeze or reboot. Also when getting a notification and unlocking the phone the cap buttons will not always light. Locking and unlocking the phone will fix this problem but not always.
Even after uninstalling BLN, the cap button weirdeness persists. Only way to fix it is to restore from a backup or install a new ROM. I'm using CM7 11 w/ honity12 at stock speeds.
When BLN works its awesome. Hopefully they can fix these problems before I install it again.

Actually, what you need to do is use another kernel (which coincidentally happens when you restore a backup or install another ROM).
So does the backlight notification work if I just purchase the pro app from the market or do I need to install the kernel? I plan to install Og's kernel with voodoo features so I was wondering.. can multiple kernel be installed? No right?

You can only have one kernel at a time.
It's a pity it only works with some ROMs, I like to cook my own ones making them as tiny as possible, removing unused apps and changing ringtones and notification sound for my own ones
As long as you're basing your cooked ROM on a ROM that has a BLN-enabled kernel, you can use that kernel.
For example, if your ROM is basically a CM7 with some modifications, you can use any CM7-compatible kernel and it should work.

Problem is the ROM I like to use is a very stock one with some modifications done with dsixda's kitchen.
I'll start reading about kernels and how to change them, maybe I can combine my ROM with that kernel
Morning all
Sooooooooooo , after putting some of my favorite music on my DHD last night, packed my Sony BIN headphones and set off this morning , only to discover the stock MP3 player is rubbish ! , no volume or anything.
Any suggestions which one is best to use ?
Thanks
Steve
My suggestion would be PlayerPro. After trying many, this has everything I ever wanted from a music player.
thank you for the quick response
That one costs money though
Any good free ones ?
DoubleTwist seems to be the best right now.
Tried , and its great thanks .....
Is there anything I can do to increase the volume ?
It seems so low , even at top media volume
Thanks
Steve
Most custom ROMs have volume enhancements on them, but if you don't want to go down that road and are already running a Gingerbread ROM, then try an app called Volume+ from the market. If you're on Froyo, there is DSP Manager but personally I don't recommend it.
DoubleTwist is a rather complete player. Try it out.
I'd suggest Double Twist or this https://market.android.com/details?id=org.abrantix.rockon.rockonnggl&feature=more_from_developer
Lovly ta
Yep, doubletwist is good, no question there. It's just that since I'm kind of a neat freak when it comes to folder structures with my music, I really appreciate the option to browse by folders; something most players seem to lack. I also liked the album wall display of playerpro, but of course as you said its not free.
Bought PlayerPro also. If you listen to music alot, its really worth it^^ Also theres an option that you can skip songs with volume buttons, thats a great feature in some situations.
Thats all great thanks , but the volume is still low , is there anyway I can increase the headphone volume of MP3's ?
Thanks
Steve
See my post on the previous page, it has some tips to help with your volume issue

Hi, thanks ..... I have installed the volume+ app or at least I think its the right one.
And it dosnt let me make it any louder than the top media volume ...
Any suggestions ?

Double Twist is great and works
Custom Roms should help with volume (have a look at my sig)

If you downloaded it from the Market and it's called 'Volume+' then you have the right one, but it only works on Gingerbread. When you run the app you have the options of applying volume gain to the speaker or headphone output, and you can also change the EQ. There's a Bass Enhancement option too, but I've never known it make any difference.
Give PowerAMP a shot if you want to browse by folder. There's a trial version on the market. Best player I've seen.

Oh ....... the one I downloaded was Volume Plus, not Volume +
I see its £0.99 , I know its not much but I havnt got a card to pay it with at the moment ..
Is there a free version anywhere ?
Thanks all
Steve
There's no free version unfortunately, but £0.99 is more than a fair price to pay for it if you can convince someone to lend you their card
Someone mentioned PowerAMP earlier. That app has an in built equalizer and some of the presets on that make the volume a bit louder, though if you're playing music for a long period of time then this will take a toll on battery life.
Hey Guys,
I was wondering if there was an available volume hack for EE02 Roms.
I've used Rodderik's "galaxysvolhack_v4.zip" on syndicate rom and it worked great.
Not sure if it is flashable on a EE02 rom, or if there is an updated one available.
Thanks!
Why wouldn't you just use Voodoo sound? It's amazing.
Thanks. I've never used Voodoo before. Anything I should know as far as configuration? Thanks.
All I know is it (Voodoo) has a headphone amplifier.
I have an app called galaxy tuner you can find on the market and it has a headphone equalizer and some other cool stuff I haven't really messed with.

I love the hardware EQ in Galaxy Tuner. Unfortunately it looks like the developer has all but abandoned the app though because there hasn't been an update in ages and it doesn't work at all with Gingerbread. I'm hoping Supercurio makes good on his word of getting a hardware EQ built into Voodoo. So far he's added a bass boost, but not all the eq bands that galaxy tuner has. Voodoo Sound + Galaxy Tuner EQ is simply awesome.
Just installed Voodoo Control (FREE) from market place, opened the app, and it shows:
Sorry, this phone doesn't run a kernel supporting extended sound controls.
I'm currently running AnonymousROMi3 EF02.
Is this not compatible?
Sorry can't help you there.
I'm running syndicate frozen 1.1.0 if that helps.

you cant use the free version the kernel is not supported, you need Voodoo control PLUS (paid version) that will work

Thanks. I ran out of "thanks" for the day. Will thank you tomorrow.
voodoo works great! All others seem to pop and skip at times...

Do these only work with headphones? Is there anything to up the volume of the external speaker?
Volume+ or dsp manager will increase speaker volume

a simple question for u guys, how can i control the volume on the xbox music app, also in the video one.
i use the metro app skype.. and if i reduce the volume of metro from settings.. also the skype got volume reduce...

tnx in advance

I don't think it has volume controls on a per app basis, it never did in the previews. On desktop you have the usual mixer but that doesn't control apps, unless ive missed something
"..... an now finally we see which users have actually used it and have valid concerns on Win 8...."

for the moment we miss the mixer.. Its really odd that one little and essencial thing like volume control is. now I'm focused to dev a app to do that.
i already try everything like using the normal skype. But the music goes down when it pass to secondary task.
i already contact microsoft support but no answer for the moment.

I'm with you. Maybe I'm missing something but I can't the volume. I searched the web, no one else mentions this. Maybe I should just stick to spotify. I applaud MS for their bravery in trying something different and cool, but so far Windows 8 seems a little cluttered and not easy to use. Maybe I'll get used to it. Looks cool though.

i have a touch monitor.. so im preety happy about w8.. the volume maybe was a problem to a bad code i guess.. that sht is important to be missing.
I've same problem. The only solution i found is to keep xbox music to the front, on 1/3 for example.
EDIT : putting xbox music app on a split screen (juste a few moment) solve the problem for me.
Hey guys, I appologize in advance if this is in the wrong place! But the cyanogenmod forum does not have a note 3 section (though I suppose it may work on all devices)
Basically what I'm looking to do is make the notification volumes the same as audio volumes. I don't really know what to call is so bear with me..
You know how the ringtone volume is say 1 click up to 7 clicks?
And the audio is from 1 to 15 clicks?
Well the notification volume slider shares the same as the ringtone (no I don't mean they are both the same slider that's in the settings) I want to be able to change the notification volume to .5 of a click rather then 1 click, is there some way of editing this value? Basically touchwiz is the type of volume sliders I would like.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Again I appoligize if this is in the wrong place.
Thanks!

teamsek's latest build has a volume step addition - Not sure if this is what you're specifically after, but sounds right.

A "Volume step" option for notifications is what i'm looking for! yes thank you for telling me what it is called.
The problem is I would rather not use a unofficial cm mod.
so if there is a way to emulate http://nexus7.wonderhowto.com/how-to/add-more-steps-volume-slider-your-nexus-7-for-more-gradual-control-0149207/
but on cyanogenmod. that would be epic.

Well to be honest, temasek's builds fix things faster than Official CM nightlies - Not to mention the other great builds like BeanStalk/CarbonROM and AOSB- , plus he has a few extra things baked in, then take into account the kernel with crazy battery life lol. - Unofficial doesn't mean worse. And besides Official is buggy as hell compared to the custom builds :silly:

temasek may have taken it from official CM repo's - if he has it'll eventually get added to the nightlies (as for how long I have no clue) - you could compile your own CM build and just add that mod in I guess.
