i have tried out tons of roms but for now only the leedroid one gives custom LED notification light colours (blue, purple, etc.). does anyone know how to get other LED colours in other roms?
thanks!
I am fairly sure there is an LED hack in the Android Market that lets you set up the LED for different colours no matter what ROM you are using.
If it is for messages, I use Handcent SMS and I can pick the LED colours for notifications using that. There is some info on this LED hack in the Desire Development section of the XDA forum as that is where I first saw it appear, so what you want does in fact exist. Hit up a quick search in that forum and you'll find it. I will try and find it myself once again to see if I can help you further.

There is an app in the market called LED me know BETA which does exactly that.
I didn't experiment much with other ROMs, but I'm sure that MIUI (I don't know since when) has that built in.
Hmm...I'm using the InsertCoin-Rom several weeks now...well, finally since I rooted and s-offed my Desire Since then (and of course before) I always have all LED-Colours showing like that:
Charging: orange
Fullcharged: green
Emptybattery: red
SMS: blue
I'm using HandcentSMS and since today the blue sms-led doesn't light when I receive sms. All the other LEDs are still working. Already re-installed HandcentSMS cause I read about possible combatibility-problems between InsertCoin and Handcent....but still no blue LED Any tips? THX!
thanks all for replies.
i've tried LED me know for cool's roms (cool sensation, bravos, to name a few) but it didn't work at all, i.e. the LED is still only orange and green
i didn't use handcent but i believe it works pretty much the same as GoSMSPro in which i can't customise the LED notification as well (can't change blinking time / colour)
maybe i should try a more time with the newest roms?

maybe you should try:
1. LED me know
2. Go SMS Pro
3. a new rom...
Thx Well, I'm really pretty happy with InsertCoin...I've tried Coolexe, Leedroid, Ace...but I think IC is the best of all of them. Smooth, fast!!! The weird thing is, the LED worked completely and I never had any issues like that till today. Ok, maybe I give LedMeKnow a try...I know there is also a special Fix for the IC-Rom for LedMeKnow...but as I said...I've never had that problem with all IC-Rom-Releases.
how do you make the LEDs work for Reflex S?

Do you mean me? I used Reflex S once...and also didn't had any problems with the standard-leds. Or you mean to change the colours customlike?

Not sure if this is common knowledge, but Storm over on the Nexus board built a color calibrator program that does a great job fixing color balance problems (I'm looking at you Nova LCD).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745248
I am successfully using the cyanogen nightly apk version to correct the blue/purple hue on my nova. It took a little messing around and I do not have a color meter, but I ended up getting results that look great (used my macbook LCD which is color calibrated as the target).
Every LCD is different, but my settings are 919 red/ 905 green / 722 blue.
im about to try this out myself. so i flash to install this???
which one did you install?

If you have CM6, it's already installed... Just go to Settings -> Cyogenmod Settings -> Display -> Render UI, and choose one of the last 3.
Otherwise, flash the Universal APK from that thread-- it worked for my on BakedSnack and Fresh. Don't forget in any case to install the Calibrator APK... it allows you to manually tweak the settings, and also ensures that any settings you choose will be re-applied at bootup.
Well as I don't have cm6, it seems the sense version might be incompatible. I flashed the version sense (desire) and installed the apk. Upon changing any of the sliders results in a fc.
For now I think this calibration is limited to cm6; unless I just screwed something up and somebody else can get it to work. I'm going to try and use the universal install next and see if that'll get it to work. If it doesn't then us sense users are sol.

I had thought i had said if you don't have CM6, then try flashing the Universal version, not the Sense one-- the sense one seems limited to a specific ROM for the Desire. I had no issues flashing the Universal one on BakedSnack and Fresh, which both still have Sense.
Apk
One thing to note for CM6 users - the apk file allows you to tweak the 3 color bands to any setting you want, rather than just the 3 presets provided in the Cyanogen render effect menu. I was getting too much yellow in all of the N1 presets and was able to get good whites with the sliders.
I'm not sure how to run this on sense. Why would anyone want to use sense? I'm in a fast 4g area and I still cant stand it.
for stock with root ota 2.2 version .28 odex, use universal zip.

Ps when adjusting the screen brightness makes big difference
the universal app keeps fc'ing on me
I guess I'll try the CM version..
Thanks for the heads up on this, my dad just got an Iphone 4 and i was comparing the two displays by playing the same video on both, and noticed that my epson screen has quite a blue hue. He wouldn't stop poking fun at my Evo...until today! Played around with this and got it to be quite a bit more accurate, no more smack talking from him now haha.

I get force close... I installed the universal.zip and the normal.apk and when I open the app and touch any of the settings the app force closes... Anyone wanna do a mini tutorial on how they got it?
Wow I didnt even notice this. Thanks man!

You flash the zip file just like you would anything else-- there's really not much to it.
You don't mention what ROM/Kernel you are running... that might help.

Sorry, Yeah that's what i do and the app keeps crashing.

is that what you have to or are you using another rom?
Finally I got it to work with another kernel. I have all colors in 1000... Tell me your colors so I can compare and maybe use yours

Guess it doesn't work with netarchy's 4.1.9.1cfs kernel, because I am experiencing the exact same symptoms and am using the same ROM as you. I was beginning to think it was ROM related. What kernel did you end up using?

Although what you use will all be personal preference... the big thing is pushing the blue down as it is quite overpowered.

Those settings seems too dim for me. I guess personal preference has to do a lot with these settings lol... (sticking with the 1000's RGB color)
thanks a lot

If you stick with 1000s for all 3 values, you might as well as not have the APK installed at all, IMO.
The settings you want to use may vary slightly based on your current lighting conditions and the brightness. On my settings, the screen is tiny,tiny bit dimmer-- but that is only because the blacks and greys become true blacks and greys and not dark purple and lilac. At the bare minimu, leave your red and green at 1000 and push the blue down until your greys are true greys....
Ive noticed through my weekly new rom flashes that CM roms have the soft green notification light on the right side(in the ear piece). Which is a GREAT idea when the phone is charging because at work i cant even have my phone on vibrate.
Im using Virus Infection RC1 right now and was wondering if it is possible to get this working on other roms?
Thanks ahead of time

I don't have the link, because I'm on my phone, but I think its in the themes and apps section. Search for "wimax notifier". It will allow you to enable that second led (wimax led) to use for texts and missed calls. I forgot the name of the dev that made it but you should be able to find it.

As far as I'm aware; the LED only supports the green and amber/orange lights you see. This is the same for the original Droid Incredible
Ahhhh!... Ok thx anyways
TappaTappaTappa
Yeah, kinda sad that the old school g1 supported many more colors then the 3 we get. I miss the purple and white options the g1 had. Oh well.
Hi everybody
After a while searching, flashing and messing things up, i realized that the DHD's led is only at mid-quality level. It's even worse than my previous phone - the old G1 - because the led can only handle green, orange and red. And with some custom roms, it's hard to control your led notifications, it goes up and down every time, behaves abnormally, usually does NOT flash at all and force you light up the screen only for ensuring that you don't miss any important information etc...
So it's annoying and disappointing too.
Is there an application that can change this situation? Not be able to force the Led flashing in blue of course LOL, but it can handle the constant flashing at least? I heard about an app called "led me know" over the Desire forum, but don't know if it supports our device? And it would be perfect if there's one which can make the touch keys back-light flash as the led. Would be very amazing if existed ^^
Thanks in advance
Any one? Any ideas?
Still no one has some interest on this?

FIRST! buy THIS
then, attach this
with, (some sort of tool)
and wrap it up with this stupid thing
you will get NO COUNTER-SMARTPHONE BATTERY life, and plentiful of colors!
---anyway, enough jokes.
I remember searching something like this a long ago, and i found an app that can control the led notification, i believe is still in the market, or at least here in xda, i will try to search for it.

Light Flow Try this app, download free one first, see if it works.
LOL thank you very much!
But if there's something like touch keys backlight notification... It would be definitely awesome!!!! Like the one in samsung galaxy forum...

I can't follow you. Did you mean you set up the G1 with blue and magenta colour, or that's what you suggested me to do so on our DHD?
And for the alternative apps question, any one has an idea please????

Hey guys,
is there any news on this LED thing?
I also would like if the LED would not stop blinking after a while and it looks like "LED me know" won't work on the DHD with V. 2.3.5 & Sense 3.0.
Maybe the DHD need to be rooted for that?
I know it's been touched on here and there (I.E.), but I haven't found a dedicated thread to it, and I know I'm definitely not the only one who is plagued by the annoyance. It seems like some have been able to get around the issue with the international version of the phone, but the North American version appears to be quite the hurdle. Either that, or the devs for all our favorite SMS apps aren't from the good ol' US of A, and don't really care about that feature. Either way, It's annoying to have cutting-edge technology in the palm of my hand without any reliable and simple means to have something other than a solid red LED regardless of the notification it represents. On the thread linked above, I noted that some were able to get a blinking notification, I've had no such luck. Perhaps they weren't rooted. I do recall the day I got my phone, before anything had been modified whatsoever, that the LED would flash blue, but once I got GoSMS Pro installed, it changed my SMS to solid red, and has been such ever since. Nothing at all that I have tried will change it.
TLDR: Has anyone found a way to stay on a custom ROM and/or launcher, AND set different color LED for notifications (as well as blink intervals) within the realm of SMS?
