So in alot of the ROMS,
there was a Bug that when your phones notification was set off, i.e. SMS, Email, Twitter, Missed Call
the Notification LED would flash Blue, Purple, Green, Orange, Red.
And i have seen people make apps to turn on and test the LED,
But has anything further been done with it,
Like customisation for notifications, i.e.
Blue for Twitter
Green for Missed Call
Purple for SMS
etc etc
I would love to have different LED Colours for different notifications :-(
Anyone come across anything or know anything that i dont
Certain developers have included in their apps. Handcent for example will allow you to select the notification LED colour.
This feature is in the latest cyanogenmod roms, in cyanogenmod settings you can configure the led notification colours of any of your apps!
Edit: ignore me ... this definitely used to be in cyanogenmod settings but it's not in last nights nightly...

In DeFrost, the LED flashes different colours for notifications and charging and what not. Is it possible for these to be implemented in Open Desire?
Is it a kernel thing?
Or does the configuration lie in /system somewhere?
(Or is it a combination of both)
Thanks,
Josh.
Would also like to know.
AFAIK there is a LED patch for some android kernel-sources, that makes this possible.
Unfortunately I can't even find this for the kernel I'm working on, so I don't believe it's out for the OpenDesire Kernel by now

I havent tested the other notifications, but in messages if you go to settings > notification settings you have an option to change the led color when you receive a new message.
Is their any way to set the color of the notifications light for certain notifications? The DInc only has a ,2 color notifications light, but I want to have the red light blink for Gmail and the green light blink for text messages. Are their any apps that might be able to do this? Is their a zip file I could flash to accomplish this? LOL is their any way I could do this? I just find it unfair the Nexus one users could control their notifications light and I think it would be really cool to set the colors of my notifications light. Thanks!
Hi all! I'm trying to figure out if Desire Z would work for me, if I should buy it or not. I have read all the threads on led I could find but thngs are still unclear to me. My provider sells the Desire Z with android 2.2. still. I want to be able to use at least the 3 possible colors of notification led to set amber just for sms, green just for calls and red just for battery for example. From what I could find Led me know stopped working when 2.3. update came for Desire Z. If I DON'T update however, I can not completely understand which possibilities Led me know beta gives and which not. For example, can I choose which color I want for sms and frequency and lenght or will the color for sms be the phones' default one (if it has one).
Or is there any better application with which I could also update the phone and be able to shoose color, frequency, lenght? The pre relese for 2.3 Desire Z does not work right?
Also I can't seem to find anywhere where the led is located. Is it behind speaker girll like on sensation?
Thanks all!
Can't change colors if there is no color to change ;o). No the only colors you get are the ones you've seen already

Really? I understand I can't get blue, magneta etc, but I can't even choose for example if I want red for sms and not green?
nope. i mean the app is free just try it. but the trackpad only has 1 color and the charge indicator only has the green and red.
led me know not really meant for our phones
I can't try it, I don't have the phone yet lol. I'm asking this in order to decide wheter or not I should buy it.
I don't understand why it is not at least possible to use the existing colors in customised way. If amber color does exist, why not be able to set it for sms?
How visible is the led behind the speaker grill? I have found it is hidden behind the grill right?
You can set the top led for red, orange, or green. The buttom (trackpad) is white only. Ledmeknow allows all that on 2.2... 2.3 it has problems with. If you want GB and led mods, go with light flow. But still red, green, orange only of course.
But yeah, the mixing doesn't work. All the newer HTC models are like that. I'm not sure why... but you can combo top and bottom led at the same time and they are all very visible. The top led is behind the speaker grill but is extremely visible still. Enjoy your new Desire Z/G2!
What do you mean by mixing?
Does Led me know or Light flow require root?
Looks like an interesting App for controlling your LED notifications. Try it out and report your findings!
Light Flow - LED Control
Will do dude thanks

This didn't work on the Epic 4G, would be nice if it worked on this device? Is it only red and blue or is it multicolor?
Seems to work fine...
sent from my damn EPIC TOUCH 4G!!!!
If anybody uses go SMS you can change the led to a couple different colors and even change it for individual contacts
Epic 4G touch only has 2 colors for notification LED - Red and Blue

I'm using Handcent & I got a magenta light for when my girl texts me. I did choose the color "green" tho.
I am getting three color choices with Light Flow paid version. Blue, red and purple.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
what are you talking about, Purple does not work with paid version, it's red and blue!!!
Purple is a choice in the paid version for me. Of course, the actual color is more like magenta but it does work. I have Direct Mode checked in the General Settings menu.
Good to hear some feedback on this...similar results here. Wishin we had more color options!
I've only found three that work:
setting > looks like
Blue > Blue
Green > Purple
Red > Red
Purple is of course just red+blue lit simultaneously.
This is in Pro version, NOT Direct Mode.
White = fast blinking red color.
Also I noticed that the led stays lit for a long duration of time when you choose red or blue. Then it blinks off really quickly and back to on...kind of like the reverse of how it is normally. Any way to fix that?
Thanks for pointing out that white will rapid flash. That is just what I needed!
this did not work for me at all? does it only work on rooted phones?
Dont know if anyone uses kicker but my led stays magenta when I get a message

Hi
Just for info. There shouldn't be any difference between the free version and the paid version of LightFlow for color controls as they both use the same code. The only differences are the length of time it takes to cycle around the notifications and the number of apps supported.
As for the colors, the app just sends an ARGB value to the phone (when running in standard mode) and then it's up to the phone to work out how to interpret it. It's good to know white allows for rapid flashing (odd interpretation there samsung, but at least it's more choice). This is the quote from the android development documentation regarding color representation "Not every color in the spectrum is supported by the device LEDs, and not every device supports the same colors, so the hardware estimates to the best of its ability."
If anyone wants to have a play with the app "LED color tester" by coolbeans in the market to see if they can get any more colors (e.g. rapid blue flashing etc) then let me know and I'll try get the extra option put into lightflow. Note, to test using LED color tester, you'll need to uninstall lightflow first as lightflow will take over the notifications, preventing control by the tester app.
Direct mode writes to the files directly in unix that control the leds. At the moment it'll write out a 0 or a 1 to the brightness file for either the red or blue led. My guess is that some other values allow for the flashing. If only there was some consistency between phones, things would be so much easier! I'm also planning to add the option to allow custom brightness values to be sent for the leds which may help control things a little more.

WHere do you set that for a single contact?
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.
