Neldar: I already had a look at the nexus s sources and there is no way documented to control the touchkey backlight.
So i need access to a nexus s to check if there is an undocumented way.

For anyone who is wondering about BLN this is the answer i got today from the dev himself.
Thus, if anyone is knowledgable enough to help him out in accessing things in the nexus S we may finally figure out if we can get it

I think so, because it requires you to flash a .zip, much like a rom, in addition to installing the apk.

BackLight Notifier/Notifications
Basically to get around the fact that the phone has no LED alert, BLN (originally for the Galaxy S, but the same problem arises with the Nexus S) uses the phone's capacitive buttons as notification lights, flashing them like a normal LED. This is different to NoLED (a software based solution), as it requires a bit of hacking, as most phones do not have a way to control the capacitive buttons by default.

BACK LIGHT NOTIFICATION. its a subsitution for not having LED notifications. its built into the kernel so we'll see the dev will work with someone experienced that owns a nexus s. i hope.
Couldn't one of the google employees that post here point him in the right direction?
I'm sure they have access to any information he might need. After all, they are the ones developing the operating system for the phone. It would be in the spirit of openess
any progress with BLN??

So, I was wondering if anyone has yet tried pulling the GPS fix that Samsung sent out for the Captivate and trying it with the Fascinate. Shouldn't be too difficult, as the GPS hardware for the different Galaxy S variants SHOULD be almost 100% the same.
Might be worth a look, just a thought.

Yeah, never even thought about it. Definitely try it out. You know how to do that right? Shouldn't be too difficult.

Someone would need to take a look at the OTA for the Captivate to see what we need, but yeah, pushing the needed files would be the next step. Seems simple enough.

Getting Google's home and fixing a gps are two very different things, but I get where you are coming from.
Does the Captivate gps fix involve a tweak to their radio as well? If so, I can definitely understand why that wouldn't work for us.

its just a bit weird that google have been so tightlipped about it..only indicators that something is due, is the arrival of the gingerbread statue, and the adobe Flash and AIR updates..time will tell..
its kind of strange we haven't had any sort of leak, so i'm seriously starting to doubt that today is the day

on bgr it is reporting that Dell is working on a dual core streak. Quick someone open a thread on why it will be better than the Nexus one or that they are switching.
You can check SDK package on official website.
It's not the weekend yet, chillax.
lol @ people who think the OTA will drop before the SDK is even released.
Buncha fools up in here.
I thought froyo came out for Nexus one before any sdk - or was that eclair?

Wrong section.
If you want the rom so bad why don't you make one? If you do not have the ability to make a rom then go to work and donate to developers because they don't have to do what they do for free. They could charge, pay pall makes it easy to charge for a download.
I know you are most likely a troll but hopefully others will read this and donate to some developers because they need more whiskey.

Oh don't you go blaming that nonsense on Swype. The OP is obviously stuck in 1996 and gotten hold of a Vibrant from the future and it is his only way of communicating with said future or as we know it, the present.

We'll was grabbing some code out of google git repository today and came by this. Sure looks like a Nexus S with Wimax code being this close to the 8th should be any day now for all of it.

thanks though don't know if I can edit titles on this forum but I'll try. If not can a mod fix this please
stupid spelling
edit : fixed thanks for pointing it out
yea 2.3.4 added some of the modules its not everything but its a start
kinda surprising they are gonna use the same kernal since there will be a lot of extra crap in it we don't need and a lot the standard nexus s won't need.
theres a lot of extra crap that the nexus doesnt need but the nexus s does.. yet they share the same stuff
We'll once the final code is released (if this isn't it already) I may have to try and find the time to do some cleanup. From my experience extra code in the kernel can slow things down quite a bit especially when in USB OTG mode.

When are we going to get something new to flash? I've been jones'n for like a month now. What is next on the horizon for EPIC users? I need a tease to at least wet my whistle. It's been too damn quiet on the new custom roms front!
You could always make something yourself if you want to flash something so badly. The devs here work hard with what little they have to work with and are, quite frankly, terribly underappreciated.

Go to development and Flash Gingerbread.
Oh and please don't forget to Donate to the developers who do this for free and work their ass off sweating over their releases.
Clearly he's following the everything's ok theme.
I can understand your anxiousness in wanting to have a new rom to experience but truthfully... we have what we need. Either acs or midNIGHT should be enought to keep you happy on your epic. If you want something to look forward to think about gingerbread and our epics finally being pushed to they're max. After gingerbread, if its light on bugs that is, the epic will finally reach its limits.

Agreed. I have had a rooted moment hero and now epic and I can say I've never been as happy as I am now runing ec05 with syndicate. Works flawlesly. Think where we started before we had froyo and the gps didn't work. lol this phone has come a long way in a short period. Thanks too all the devs
