How can i get this application (soved.eu/Torch.apk) to work on Android 2.1 (Rooted)?? It's CyanogenMod's Torch app.
I think you may try downloading a different one from the Market.

I can't find a app like that in the market. Otherwise i would'nt ask for it. But thanks anyway
doesn't the stock rom have a torch app that's pretty much the same? but anyways if you're rooted, there are quite a few torch apps that use the phone's led.
Yes, the stock rom does have an Torch application, but with the CyanogenMod's Torch's application the flash light is almost 4 time's brighter.
try tesla LED.
You will see the difference
Thanks!!! This is a really great alternative
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.

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
I've tried three ROMs now, enabling and disabling the pulse notification setting, tried adding custom application rules as well as using various LED altering apps such as Light Flow and tinkering with the settings in them but I can't seem to get the notification LED to change to any other color than white.
Is there something that I'm missing? Do I have to flash something in order for this to work properly? The ROMs I've tried are Orca, Avatar, and Paranoidandroid. I didn't think to test this on stock beforehand as I figured it'd be relatively simple to get set up.
I am using the TWRP recovery if that matters at all.
EDIT: Working well now. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38805983&postcount=3
I would say it is a hardware issue. Did you have the same issue with stock rom? If so, definitely hardware.

Just flashed Ele and Carbon with a different gapps zip, working well now. Looks like my gapps zip from PA was breaking it some how. Odd, glad it works though.
Has anyone tried the Pixel fingerprint sensor features on the a2017u?
Yup it works nicely. Using it to turn the screen off ?
Remember to disable power management policies on the app
I'm using it. Works good, I use it to pull the notifications down.
What about battery consumption ???

It has almost no impact on battery. Very well optimized app.
The newest Gravity Box update also includes fingerprint launcher functionality now for everyone who wants to have more possible options to choose from.
How does one go about installing this?

The OP says it will only work on certain phones, but obviously, you guys have it working. Anything special I need to to in addition to installing the apk?
The OP in that link has a good instructional video on how to set it up and use it
There are so many custom Roms available meaning it difficult to choose what would fit someone's requirement.
Is there any comparison or benchmarking available?

Which one are you using?
My primary concern is better battery life
AOSP EXTENDED
Battery life is average but have no issues...
Zui, continuously using for more than 2 to 3 months, random reboot approx once in one or two weeks,good battery ,no heating or network issues. No lags either. Ui also different from aosp roms.

ZUI ROM absolutely!! I have been using it for 1 week and i am very happy!! First of all be sure from the dirty flash of the unmodified zui ROM over the ROM presented in this forum :
https://lm.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...m_OXfsYk4w&s=1
This ROM has no bugs, it is just a raw zui ROM in Chinese language. So, you will use it for repairing the ROMin this forum which is useful only for English language addition.
Second, you need to open the app you need its notification after every reboot. Be sure it is running in the background by the the note arise when you press clear all symbol. It will say the app can't be cleared because it is locked. Be sure the app does exist in the safe center app as exception for auto starting and associate auto starting, also be sure to allow all notifications from the notification menu.
I have aqua mail ( which i used it as mail app because gmail app is crashing which is the only bug i could find in this rom) and what's up with absolutely no problems.
After trying every zuk z1 rom (literally) in this forum, i found out this is the best rom due to stability, brilliant camera app, and the insane battery life ( yesterday i got 5% drop for 1 h youtube video on wifi with gps and network are on and the display back light on 50%(.
No lag in this ROM, no random reboot,security is crazy ( i was shocked to see that there were some apps were blocked from reading my phone number). I guess i can live without original gmail app and substratum theme engine and dolby atom audio mode vs. gaining 7 h sot battery life, much better camera, and stable stock ROM from lenovo company has OTA update in comparison to other Roms like RR or Lineage .

Hi thanks for this info..i have few doubts can u help with that
1. after flashing will it replace twrp recovery?
2. there would be chinese app pre installed..can i flash super su to gain root access and remove system app?
3. i am looking for ROM who can give best network reception as i m facing lots of problem with other ROM for calling ..does this rom has good network reception
Hi, happy to help you.
1. No, will remain same version.
2. Yes you can, i flashed magisk 13.3 without any problem and used a bloatware app remover to remove the stupid Chinese Webbrowser. Other chinese apps can be uninstalled normally.
3. There is no rom gives you better connection than zui, i am getting now a full wifi signal in my bedroom instead of half signal i used to get in RR or AOSP roms.
Cheers

Use xposed with xnotifications module.

I think no rom has ability to improve signal. It's a hardware thing not software issue.
However I moved to AOSP extended from nuclear rom and boy I'm happy that my battery is almost giving me 8 hours SOT compared to 3.5 ~ 4 earlier

Nope. Look through the thread of ZUI twrp latest english, i ha dpoated a solution to this long back, after me many have as well.
Tl;dr pull down apps in recents to lock them, disable their battery optimization from settings of the apps u want to get notifs of
The notification issue is very easy to be solved, first, remove the app you want its notifications from battery optimization, and then open it, press home button>recent button>drag down its recent window slightly, you will see a symbol of a lock on the top of the window can be opened and closed by dragging down the recent window, lock the window and the app will never be cleared from recents and will stay awake in the background. I did this to whatsapp and yahoo mail apps and they are notifying me instantly.
Be sure to give the app all permissions, enable all notifications from notification menu, enable auto start and the most important to put it in the white list in the safe center app ( it is a preinstalled app as antivirus, ram manager and security wall together considered to be the main reason for delaying app notifications)

It is working perfectly by me, again, full permissions including auto start, all app notification are enabled, battery save is off for this app, on the white list in the safe center, and finaly locked in the background that when you press clear all button a note will arise telling that the app can't be cleared. This what i did and i am able to see all what's up notifications delivered overnight when i wake up. Sorry bro, this works by me, have you flashed any stange app or xpose mode or....etc. that might affect notifications?
