[Task] Make Stock Samsung Apps BLN Compatible

---

Right so now that most SGS2 kernels are using BLN, and that most users want it, it would make sense to enable stock samsung apps to utilise this feature.

SMS
Phone

Now they obviously do not call any lights as Samsung were aware that there was no LED on this phone.

This would need to be hacked probably at the smali level. Does anyone want to give it a go?

Pulser of TeamVillain said he will look into it at some point, but he is rather busy at the moment so I thought I would open up the idea to everyone.

Edit: Ok so apparently phone works, it is just SMS that needs modifying.

SMS and phone are working for me, SMS with stock/go sms and phone with BLN pro so what' s the problem?

Samsung stock sms app and stock phone app do not generate any call for lights therefore BLN does not flash when you get an sms or missed call.

if you use a third party sms app then that will work, but not the stock apps.

Agree, stock SMS doesn't
But phone does blink.

Yes, Phone apk is triggering. Only SMS is not working, but I also like to see modified SMS APK because 3rd party SMS APK do not fit to the design of the Samsung Software. (only my 2 centz)

If you use the tasker app, you can set up notifications of the bln for any notification.
I have set it up for gReader, K-9 mail and a recieved text

android has far more notifications than just missed calls and sms.... most apps generate some form of notification (twitter...email..gmail..g+...facebook etc etc)

they all work in the free version except for Missed calls.

currently Stock Samsung Messaging app does not work at all! but we are trying to fix this.

To obtain led notification for a samsung app you need to do the following:
Locate the place where the notification is instantiated and add the necessary flags to the notification. And secondly you need to locate the place where the screen is turned on, either a full or dimmed wakelock (bad implementation) or a call to setKeepScreenOn() or some parameter in WindowManager.LayoutParams is set.

In the meantime while we wait for TeamVillain to modify the stock messaging app, you can make use of Tasker in combination of BLN pro to activate blinking lights when SMS is received. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1203005

I would suggest you read what is posted by the OP and do the profiles manually.

PS. this recommendation is for people who knows what is Tasker, BLN Pro and more importantly, liblights.so.

THIS IS THE CURRENT SITUATION WITH BLN AS OF 2011-08-05:

You need a modified liblights. If you don't know what this is, start using the search function. If you still can't find it after using the search function, you're too stupid to even be attempting any of this, stop immediately or find a custom ROM that provides a modified liblights.

You need a modified kernel.

You need the BLN control application. To get blinking lights or notifications from missed calls in the stock phone app, you need the Pro version.

As mentioned IN THE ORIGINAL POST, the stock SMS app does not trigger BLN by default so you need a third party SMS app such as Handcent, or an app such as Tasker to set it up.

The following will be gibberish designed to make this post show up in most (logical) forum searches for how to get BLN working on the SGS2.

Expected search terms:

I am a giant moron who just cannot figure out how to get BLN working on my SGS2 Samsung Galaxy S II 9100 GT-I9100 BLN kernel how do I make BLN work what is liblights ahh life is so unfair expecting me to figure things out for myself my mummy told me I was a special snowflake that can do anything I set my precious little mind to I am her special soldier and life should just provide everything I want on a plate. BLN. BLN kernel. BLN liblights. BLN SMS. BLN. BLN. BLN.
