[Q] Cyanogen notification light, only amber? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Just flashed the latest nightly.
But when I got an notification, the notifications light turns amber.
How do I set it to green?

You can't change it back to green. I believe this change was intentional as red/amber is (in my opinion) better associated with "alert." Think of it that way and maybe it won't bug you so much.

[FIX] Speaker LED – Vision (G2)

This fixes Speaker LED Notifications on CM6.1 for Vision (G2).
Behavior:
If it is plugged in, the light will stay solid (charging). If a notification comes in with the screen off, it will blink green. If you turn on the screen, the charging light will come on. If you don’t acknowledge the notification, when the screen turns off it will blink green again.
When it is not plugged in, notifications will blink green only when the screen is off.

Green light/message received works! Great work!
Works great, thanks much.
Works perfect. Thanks for sharing. Greatly appreciate all of your work.
I did this in Terminal, but before I could even cd, I needed to enter SU. Probably just because I hadn't already allowed access, but yeah. Good stuff as always Pershoot
Anyone else having issues with LED still blinking even when no messages are around?? Even trackpad blinks, is that normal with rc2??

with the breathing light, yea. some event may have just happened. that happens on the nexus too sometimes (with the breathing light), and you're not quite sure what event just ocurred.
Ok, breathing light would be trackpad but still consider with the LED??? Also no events, just restarted.. still happens, normal???

it blinks when there is a notification (same as the trackpad). it does not blink when there is no notification (same as the trackpad). if you are getting blinking, then i can only assume that there is some event ocurring that it is notifying you about.
Ok, maybe there is but I cannot find any other event happening making it blink still.. :/

check your logcat.
push back the .so from the CM rom your on. do you still get the trackpad flashing?
Thanks very much for this; works as advertised.
Thanks pershoot. Working great!
Thankssss :d
Pershoot, will this work if you only have Bacon Bits installed? I have had some issues with my LED while on charge.
I have not tested this against the stock rom.
Feel free to try it.
U can always push the old one back.

Led notifications Cm6.1.1

Is there a way to get the old led notifications from stock roms to work with cm6.1.1? I found the setting in cyanogen settings to pick a notification color but it blinks for a second on the right side light....as someone that always has their phone on vibrate, having the solid led when I get a text or email is key....any thoughts?

Is my led working?

Hi all, I've just missed called my gn phone to check how the led notifications are working, I see no led notification at all, no led lights anywhere on the phone to let me know I have a missed call? Is there something I need to set up, thanks

Check your notification settings
There is also an option "pulse notification light" in Display settings.
i have the same problem.
i have ticked the option "pulse notification light" in Display settings but th eLED doesnt flash after receiving a miscall. i waited a few mins and still nothing.
i know the LED works because it flashes while the caller is calling, but just switches off after the caller hangs up.
is there another notification setting for this other than the one in Display Settings?
The notification LED has been implemented pretty badly natively. In addition to not appearing very consistently it also only flashes white. Look for the app Light Flow on the market and use that instead.

Thanks Chrono.
I just saw the Light Flow app recommended on the other LED notifications thread and tried it, and it works well!
But yes i agree its seems a pretty sloppy implementation by default, i hope it gets fixed in a software update, although i probably wont be moving away from light flow with all the extra control you get with it

Did the new update bring different color LED notifications?

I never noticed this until the lastest update, but the LED changes different colors for different notifications. Voice mail gets a green , Facebook gets a blue,etc..I remember my phone use to light up a rainbow color.. anyone noticed these changes?

May be someone that can clarify your answer... all I know is that I use Light Flow to change the color of the notifications.

Which update? Carrier or XDA?

The blue notification comes from the 1.9 update of the Facebook app. I don't use Voicemail, so I can't comment on that. SMS notifications are white (whitish) by default, can't change that without 3rd party hacks.
I configured Whatsapp though, to give green notification light, but you could change that to anything else in the app settings.
If you want more options for other apps, use an app like lightflow, although personally I don't like it, never worked reliable for me.

The led has always been different colors, depending on your apps. Nothing new.

I have Android 4.0.1, yakjuux, Galaxy Nexus from Fido.
So far, my LED light has never lit up when I get a Whatsapp message. There's an option for light color in the Whatsapp settings menu, but it doesn't seem to work. I don't feel I need to download third party apps (light flow) in order to make the built-in LED of the phone to work. Shouldn't the notification LED work out of the box, without any tinkering?
Anyone else have this issue?
Seems normal. Have u rooted? CM9 nighties now has great support for led color notifications
My led was never lighting up for some reason until I started using Light Flow. I can't understand why would they give us a nice multi-color led and not use it nicely. And my god have I missed the charging orange led and charged green from htc.
I'm also using Light Flow and it works great, otherwise not so much with stock but the LED has always been a tri colored led.

Normal for the LED not to work, even thought Whatsapp has an setting for it? That seems ridiculous.
My phone is not rooted, and I don't think I'd have to in order to make this LED to work. Why even put one on the phone if it doesn't work???

So far, I haven't noticed any different colours on my GN. It would be great if it comes through the official update. Else CM9 shouldn't be far away anyways

Notification led frequency

Hi everybody,
I was wondering if there is the possibility to change the blinking frequency of the notification led editing a system file or something.
Since the only thing I need is a more frequent blinking, I would like to avoid installing a specific app.
Thanks!!
I don't think you can do that without installing an app. If you need that, I recommend lightflow.

Just use Light Flow, it will give you all the LED customizations you'd want.
