Menu Key Lights Developer Question - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I got a hold of a LG Marquee that a friend had and something I noticed simple yet I liked. When you pressed the menu, home, back, or search key they turned blue. Is that something that can be down with our Galaxy S2 maybe not just blue but any color?

It won't turn any other color, because Samsung did not install any other bulb color in the GS2 but white.

Check to make sure you didn't turn them off somehow by mistake...
menu>settings>display> then in that menu you will see options for the keys to be always on, off or adjust the time they stay on.

[Q] LED notification?

Does the s2 have this option? If so where do I enable it? I hate having to keep turning on the phone to see if I missed any messages or notifications... Thanks
The T-Mobile variant does not have LED notifications. Its a bummer but it is what it is.
Edit: Solution below.

I'm sure once we have root you'll be able to use the main button LED's for notifications.

how did u get the super mario theme? ^-^
Okay, I got it to work... Now when the led shows. Is there another way to go straight to the app that the led came up for? Or do I have to dismiss it first, then power on phone?
Also, is there a way from preventing the screen to turn on/off when the message or miss call comes in... I just want the led to show, no light up
how much of a battery killer is this app? just wondering haha
Notification LEDs
Are there any notification leds on this phone? I have missed a few calls and received texts, but only found out after I powered back up from standby. I have only ever had HTC phones before, and they all had notification leds...any help would be great..TIA
Not at the moment. It would be awesome if we could make the soft keys flash to notify though!

I don't really miss the LED notification that much (although i think it would be nice to have). Having a soft key flash would be REALLY cool though

Better to ask these questions in the Noled forum on xdA, talk to the Dev
Just type in Noled theme in xda forum search.

Reduce brightness of capacitive buttons

Any way to change that?
The white epic touch has uncomfortably bright capacitive buttons. So I have to use turn off after 6 seconds option instead of turn off never. It still bothers me though. The black epic touch didn't have this problem.
Not that I know of. I've had mine turned off since the day I got the phone. I know what the buttons are and where they are so I dont need them lit up.

It's certainly possible on HTC phones -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276936
i have a white one too, and, yes, the lights are a lot brighter than on the black ones...Plus, I have a wrapsol covering the entire phone, and, they cast an erie glow
through the screen protector.
Actually, this reminds of an idea for a mod that I had. I thought of it when I had a white et4g screen for a little while, the capacitive buttons look so cool because of the slight aura around the lights.
The idea was a mod that lit each individual button when you hit them, except the light would fade in and out quickly; similar to what the on-screen keys do on the galaxy nexus. It would couple well with a mod that would have them light up quickly in succession when the phone is woken up, rather than simultaneously.
Wishful thinking I suppose lol.

I don't think that would be possible, simply because they were never designed to work that way. Each soft key would have to have its own LED.

Are those capacitive buttons still Amoled?
Cause then by definition they have their own led pixels.

LED notification....

Does the Gnex have an LED notification light? I have yet to see one.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Sure does. Its below the display. RGB too.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
The notification light in Gnex is one of my favourite options in the phone. Some ROMs provide full customization of the notification light ( ex. Paranoid android) . I've set it to flash blue for missed calls , yellow for SMS, green for whatsapp and red for tango
It only lights up when the screen is off?

The rom has to support it, and you have to manually set it up...
I installed light flow. That's how I found it. I'm running Affinity rom and have not seen it work before. Maybe the rom doesn't support it.

Lightflow has been really flaky for me (misses many notification events). The built-in settings in CM10 works best. I don't recall it missing anything.

Except for receiving a phone call . It lights when the screen is off or on. That's at least what my phone does with PA rom
I love how I makes it pulse when I charge my phone.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Yup, didn't know there was one also. I got the point of thinking... maybe the VZW version just doesn't have one :crying:
And then it happened...:victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:
Galaxy Nexus + LightFlow has been a great combination for me. The RGB LED notification is a must for me with any future phones.
is a full on Rom the only way to customize it? Only thing id really like to see, is for it to pulse a bit faster. The length in time it takes to pulse is too long imo. I could turn the phone on an look faster than it would take for me to stare at that point and see if there is a message.
use lightflow.

Must have been something with the Affinity rom. I loaded CNA and it works as its supposed to, plus its customizable.

Is it possible to change notification led colour?

Is it possible to have diff colour for diff notifications?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
you can't change it yourself.
red is assigned to power(charging/low power)
green for actual notifcations
blue for sound recording.

Actually you can (somewhat)...Well I did with the Handsent SMS app. Its possible to change the colors for the notifcation within that app so I'm guessing that the notifications colors only work if the app has it within the settings.

I'm getting something different on my Note 2.
Red is the same, for power.
Blue is for notifications (sms and such)
Haven't seen a green notification light yet.

That means with the right software it can be changed. Maybe some developer will be able to come up with something

Be aware that the install process will make you turn off air view. Just turn it back on after installing.

Wow, thanks to this thread, I finally came to know that Note 2 does have a notification LED just like galaxy s3 as someone told me it doesn't have. Lightflow is good but drains a lot of battery. Try this as well https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5rb28ubGlnaHRtYW5hZ2VyIl0.

any way to lower the brightness of the led notification?

I love the led notification, nothing like waking up in the middle of the night and looking over and knowing you don't have any notifications because the light isn't going off... but when I don't need a flashlight BECAUSE it's going off it gets annoying... I wanna be able to go to sleep if I'm ignoring it; yet have it there to know I have things to look at.

Just turn it off???
Sure its nice to know if you have a message from afar but really? One of the first things I did when I got my GS3 and Note 2 was go into settings/display/LED Indicator/and unselect all boxes.
i don't think you can lower the intensity, but you can turn off the notifications and us an app called NoLED. it puts a notification on your screen instead. since OLED only lights up the active pixels the drain should be any more than the notification light. i use it with my sammy droid charge that has no notification lights.
Why not just go into settings and turn on Blocking Mode?
You can set the time frame it's active. It can keep led off, notifications, phone calls etc. You can change the settings for it.
