I was curious what colors can the evo's notification light display? I try to set a custom color for handcent but it always just flashes green. has anyone been able to make it flash a different color?
You won't be able to change the colors on the Sprint EVO. It will always flash Green.
I think some GSM European Android phones have this custom capability.
after some research, i read that there was an app for the hero that let you change the color/.. i wonder if it'll work the evo
The Evo has an orange LED and a green LED. No color changing.

Well, not without a soldering iron anyway.

And no need.
There are tons of apps (yes even for the EVO) that'll let you change the LED color.
Handcent SMS lets you make the light ANY color you want for texts and pics messaging.
There is another app I used to have on Incredible and Droid that allowed you to change it to anything for missed calls and voicemails. It's also available for EVO. I've used it before. And for the life of me, I can not remember what it's right right now. Forgive me. But it's definitely possible.

I'd like to see an EVO that hasn't had a soldering iron used on it, change its LED to any color other than green, amber, or red. An app won't change the physical parameters of an LED.

WRONG...tried both Missed Call and have been using Handcent for some time. Neither will change the led notification colors on the Evo.

did you hear about that app that goes to radio shack and buys all the rainbow leds and installs them in the phone for you? Its a good app, but sucks the battery down. The whole process requires 8 FULL RECHARGES.

Don't forget, you also have to hold the EVO above your head and spin counterclockwise 25 times while hopping on your left foot. (left-footed amputees... I guess you're out of luck.)

Is there any way to change the color coding on the Evo's LED charging indicator? I'm mildly red/green colourblind, and can't tell a difference at all between the red and green, would love to be able to set it to red/blue, or even yellow/blue.
Thanks!

Since there is not a blue led on the evo only way is to physically change it.
When I USED THE SEARCH I found this for you...

Weird, I ran a search and didn't find that. :S
So we can't change LED colour without changing hardware? I ask because the blackberry I had before the Evo had an app in their app store that let you change the LED color at will.

Unfortunatly no. our leds are color specific they are not multi-colored led's that would allow us to blend the colors to create a custom color...
Searching on this forum can be a little tricky I always search from this page so it will query all the evo sub forums..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=619
That mod is awesome I just wish it easier to access the leds so we didn't have to take the whole phone apart and void the warrantee.
Yeah, can't say I'm excited about soldering anything in this phone.
Thanks for your help!

You can't change the trackpad as it's only a white LED. The notification LED is a tricolor (green, amber and red) however I'm not sure as to how to change what color shows when; granted I don't see why you'd want to as it makes sense how its set up now (green=charged/notification, amber=low, red=almost dead)

a app i use to change how fast and how often the led or trackpad led light flashes is Ledmeknow. its free on the market and works great. so far there is no way to change the color of the led
Learn to love soldering irons ;-p
LEDMeKnow has issues with CM7 and Themes .
Its odd noone has found a way to change it. Like said, the top one is only one LED and it is amber/green which should be able to be modified.
Haha I remember the G1 lit up blue when you had a Facebook notification

LedFlow only allows me pattern changes and from what I see only Green and Amber. Have you tried it and have you gotten Blue and Red and Yellow and other colors?
Noone have any information at all?
An LED's colour is a function of the hardware, and thus you cannot change it in software. It would be like giving you a can of red paint, and asking you to paint the room blue.
If only 1 color is included in the phone you won't be able to change the color..post above me was good lol

When rooted, some phones have LEDs that can be changed to any color.
the point remains the same. those "some phones" are not the Desire Z nor is it a G2.
The fact remains the same: trackpad only shines white and the notification light only shines green or orange (maybe red, i'm not sure).
Refer to the post you quoted for a layman's term on why the DZ/G2 can not change to any color you want.

If by "tools" you mean a soldering iron and a bin of multicoloured LED modules, then yes.

Sure, and those phones would already have LEDs capable of doing that. But if your phone has, say, a green LED in it, you cannot somehow use software to convince it to emit any light other than green. You might as well ask if software can turn a 480x320 display into a 1280x720 one. The answer, again, is "no".

I wasnt sure if it had a LED capable of that as it the LED in it transmits orange and green.
And the display is one of the worst examples ever: You can thru software make your display display whatever resolution you want.
is it normal that my LED colours seem to have multiple colours in them.. like example if i set the notification ligth to be orange ( with paranoid rom, but did the same on stock with lightflow) the light will be half light red and the other half will be yellow.. or green and blue if i want light blue.. it seems i have to mess around with the colours value (RGB) to get just one solid colour and not a mix of multiple colours..
this is hard to explain.. so if you know what i mean please let me know.. if not i can take a picture and upload them here!
Thanks
It's my understanding that although it IS an RGB LED, that doesn't necessarily mean that it will be able to recreate every color you could dream of. There's actually another thread here in the S3 section (Forget which part) where people are compiling a list of different Hex values of colors that turn out really well.

thing is is that im using ParanoidAndroid rom, and i dont see the option to add a hex value.. i can only pick a hue and slide the colour around ..
Well, in my experience with that, it seems to have a better color output for the LED if you don't have the saturation all the way up..... Say if you were shooting for a pure red color, have the slider down just a bit from as bright as it can get. Seemed like whenever i tried using that to set LED colors, if i had it all the way up, it had something else mixed in.... generally i think a bit more of a white color to it.

yea thats what ive been doing, seems to work alright, was just wondering if it was normal for it to have mixed colours. thanks, what you said works !
I am on AOKP and every time I get a call the LED flashes a weird yellow/blue/green color and I don't know how to change it. I have flashed back to stock and it still happens. Light Flow can change the color but whenever I select a light blue or green color I still get a yellow tent. Has anyone else seen this?
This thread seems to have the same problem but no solution.

Thank you for the help. It seems that even when I pick a blue color from that thread my LED light is still half green on the top. Does that mean the LED light is defective?

Post the hex value you used and I'll try mine and see what it looks like on mine if you want. The colors aren't perfect by any means.

I used "Samsung Blue: #ff1300ff". Even when I go back to a completely stock ROM the LED color on Boot has the same green/yellow/blue color. This phone was refurbished through AT&T so I'm starting to think this is why someone sent it back.

I already had to return one phone because the power button didn't work right. I don't think I'll be getting a refurbished phone again anytime soon.
Has anyone else seen this on an AT&T S III? I'd like to know if I need to return it.
I noticed this after I got my phone. All notifications are green including fully-charged, while Red is for charging. Does the LED really don't have a Blue Color?
Correct. The HTC 10 just has RG LED, no RGB.
Oh ok. That was helpful. Thank you.
This my main gripe with this phone. Was very disappointed to see such a simple feature missing.
On my old phone I used the Light Flow app to set different colours for all sorts of things. Simple things like being able to glance at the phone and know if it's a work or personal email was soo handy.
