not in my case
Does it need specific rom? I am using that stock rom
Maybe.. I'm using Bugless Beast.. Try it.. It's a very slightly modded AOSP build and is made to be stable like stock.

Thanks for the kernel! Installed in on Pete's BB ROM and haven't noticed any drop in performance as his kernel is great as well. But like you said, I've been missing out on BLD as I usually keep my phone on my desk and it's nice to see the LED notification just in case you didn't hear the sound!
Regarding NSTools, I think NSTools is just fine for setting it the min frequency to 100 MHz. After the v1.6 update, NSTools allows its settings to activate via init.d so it's just as good as a script. Also handy if you need Missed Call notification.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.. I'm using the same rom and kernel combo, and setting just with scripts.. And missed call notification works fine.

NSTools is great for people who frequently want to change their CPU speeds w/o scripts. My post wasn't specifically about missed call notification.
Yes, it works in some rom, but not all.
I am using stock and I install BLN pro for missed call notification work
would you, please, post your script. i must be wrong as i can't activate missed calls on simple/pete combo by scripting, in any way

Just make sure you install the correct busybox version and set proper permissions.

Hey terryhau, still "waiting" for that Touch Wake addition.
Just a reminder, I really don't mean to bother you!

After a missed call, the keys don't blink, so the BLN Control Pro must be enabled...
What am I doing wrong?

62SimpleKernel 1.40
As stock as possible
I like things pretty stock, but couldn't live without BLN, so I built this kernel for myself, but thought others might find it to their liking. The point of this kernel is to not be fully modded out. Apart from the backlight mods, it's pretty much stock.
I'm sure almost everyone knows what these mods are, but for those that don't:
BLN (Backlight Notifications): Since the Nexus S has no notification LED, this mod allows the 4 soft-button lights to act as a notification LED.
BLD (Backlight Dimmer): Normally, the 4 soft-button lights are always on as long as the screen is on. This mod will turn off the button lights after a set delay if they haven't been pressed.
Changes from stock:
- BLN (Backlight Notifications)
- BLD (Backlight Dimmer)
- CIFS module
- Init.d (requires busybox to work; use busybox installer from market)
- Insecure (ro.secure=0)
- Voodoo (*optional)
Based on stock kernel android-samsung-3.0-jb-mr0

Backlight mods by Neldar, Akent, Morfic, Ezekeel
https://github.com/Ezekeel/GLaDOS-nexus-s-ics
Voodoo by Supercurio, project-voodoo
https://github.com/project-voodoo
Configuration:
To configure BLN/BLD, edit the file /system/etc/init.d/88backlight and change the numbers after "echo". If you modify the script in Android, make sure it has execute permissions (chmod 0755). It looks like this:
Code:# ---------- BLN (Backlight Notification) ---------- # Enabled (0 - Disable; 1 - Enable) echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightnotification/enabled # Blink (0 - Disable; 1 - Enable) echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightnotification/in_kernel_blink # Blink Interval (time in milliseconds between blinking ON and OFF) echo 500 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightnotification/blink_interval # Max Blink Count (number of times to blink before stopping; 0 - Indefinatly) echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightnotification/max_blink_count # ---------- BLD (Backlight Dimmer) ---------- # Enabled (0 - Disable; 1 - Enable) echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightdimmer/enabled # Delay (in milliseconds) echo 30000 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightdimmer/delay
Notes:
BusyBox is required for the init.d script to work, which enables the mods. Use BusyBox installer from market to install BusyBox.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&hl=en
Run the app, press install, and then you can uninstall the installer.
Otherwise, you can use an app such as NSTools to enable.
Changelog:
SimpleKernel 1.40 (18th October 2012)
- Updated kernel to stock 4.1.2.
- Updated kernel to stock 4.1.1.
- Broken releases, due to outdated kernel source
- Updated kernel to stock 4.0.4.
- Built md4 into kernel instead of as module (required for CIFS)
- Removed a bunch of modules. For some reason the default kernel config builds a bunch of modules for TV tuners. I assume this was a mistake (OTA rom/kernel doesn't have these) so I removed them.
- Updated BLN (blink interval and blink limit added) Thanks to Ezekeel
- Initial release
For Nexus S i9020T/i9023 Stock ICS 4.1.2:4
