I was cool with the ICS upgrade and then realized why I hated the phone when I first got it. NO LED NOTIFICATION!!!!!!
Well its minor. Is there a way to make the BLNK app to work without rooting the phone, or changing the Kernel?
And also, shame on Samsung for not even making this thing built into the dam phone or ROM. Thats why I love CM7/CM9. All those features are built in.

You can try NoLed application from the Play Store. It works great for me.

On our phone there is no Led notification.

by chance is there an app that utilizes the soft buttons at the bottom of the phone and have them illuminate as a led replacement?

BLN but you have to be using a kernel with BLN support.

Yeah Bln works great, but for it to work you will have to dl handcent messaging and put led notification to normal in the settings....

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.

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!

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

Thanks didnt know that...
I wish they'd have put the same blue LED they put in the sprint model... I like blue :/
Apologize if this already exists.
would it be possible for one of the talented developers in our forum to add an option to have the four buttons (menu, home, back, search) blink to notify of a new message, email, missed call, etc? or maybe be able to choose a button for a particular event, like menu button flashes for new emails, home button flashes for missed calls, etc.

BLN (back light notification) is an app that allows the 4 capacitive buttons on our phone or any other Android device to blink as a notification whenever you receive a message, missed call, voicemail etc. You can download the app from the Android market but for now it will be useless to us because we do not have a kernel to support this feature. You must first be rooted and then flash a custom kernel that has BLN enabled in order to use the app/function. I believe that a custom kernel is in the works since all Galaxy S phones had custom kernels to support this feature. Even the Nexus S (which isn't Galaxy S) supported this feature once a custom kernel was installed. For now I recommend downloading and using NO LED (can be found in the MARKET) in the meanwhile.

I keep my haptic feedback set very low. Missed message flasher seems to vibrate at the same intensity as haptic feedback so it's nearly useless. Does this happen to yours or am I doing something wrong?

Uninstall app, then reinstall! then when done go to widgets and put the noled widget on screen, then delete widget. also u can go into menu and turn it on in settings and it also has a test feature also. Plus the dev is very helpful, if u have problem look him up on xda.
Since there isn't an LED light specifically for notifications, is there a way to make the LEDs for menu, home, back, and search light up for said notifications? It would be even better if each one lit up for specific apps so I could know why it's lighting up before I even turn on the screen.
Thanks for any help!
My suggestion would be NoLED.

The closest we can get to LED notifications is BLN. You need to use a BLN compatible kernel and use the app BLN Control.

I'm trying to tweak some things on system tuner and my phone rebooted (but took a bit to turn on) my blood pressure dropped, I thought I killed my phone!
But after some reading.. it pretty much means the phone does not like those settings, change them.. right? Phone works fine now though, but I was wondering for future reference

You could also try a program called lightflow which does all of that and more. There is a free version too.

So I gave it a go and it does what it says it does requires no permissions that you would find odd (only asks for vibrate because it has an option to vibrate when charged) so yeah if you don't want all the flash and extra that comes with lightflow I'd say give it a go
Awesome

Probably not much since it should only awaken the phone when you receive a notification but should lie dormant until then or run in the background like Google services.

Yeah my only gripe with Lightflow is even after you dismiss an alert it stills keep popping up from time to time.

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

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.
