Changing the GNex's notification light frequency - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'm not sure if this is a ROM feature or can be implemented seperatelly but the only thing that bothers me on the GNex is that the notification light is blinking in a very slow rate. So let's say that I have the green colour set of SMSs, if I take a look on my phone the odds I see the light are 50%. To make sure if there's an update I have to look at it for like 10 seconds which is pretty annoying. I want the light always on as it was with my HTC Desire. Is there an app for that? Is this a ROM request?
Thanks in advance.

The BAMF Paradigm ROM lets you control the LED notification - both the frequency of the blinks and also allows you to choose a different color for different types of notifications.
Alternatively, if you're on a different ROM, check out the Light Flow app.

LED Color Choices... do they even work for the Epic?

Perfect example is Handcent SMS. Allows you to pick your notification LED color, and mine never has a difference, and this is the 2nd or 3rd Epic I've tried it on. Facebook, on the other hand, defaults the color to blue.
Does anybody know why I can't reach this level of customization with apps that have done it for years?

Our phone's LED has red and blue primary colors. Those mix to make magenta/purple. We only have 3 colors for our LED.
I've seen green.. but I don't know how to get it with handcent.

I'm not sure how to mix red and blue together in any way that makes green...
Edit : I checked with my 4 year old and she said that red and blue only make purple.

We don't have green only red blue and a mix of magenta

[App] Custom LED colors

Check out "Blink" in the playstore. You can customize your LED to any color you like for various notification types.
I HAVE tested this to work. While testing colors, turn the screen off during the test to see the color you chose. ENJOY!

May I ask what color does the ion supports? I have been using "Light Flow" but the LED only shows purple no matter what color I choose.
Yes, so far the colors that I've used... red, blue, green, purple, blue green (teal), and orange. My yellows end up orange and my pinks end up red with this program.
Give it a shot...you wont be disappointed.

Just gave it a try it works pretty well. Such a shame it doesn't support email and whatsapp notifications...
Weird, doesn't work for me. I'm on ICS. Could that be why?

I always go change the file from 1000 to 20,000 to make it bright but then have to do it again every freaking time i reboot so annoying

The initd script sets the value on boot. Works great.

Notification light?

How many different colors does the notification light have? So far I've seen blue, red and green. Have you all seen any other colors?

Watch your battery life using these apps. I found they were pretty harsh.

I downloaded Light Flow lite and in order to use it I needed to allow the app in Accessibility settings. After that the stupid talking service started telling me "the folder is open", "the folder is closed"

Light Manager color mapping
I played with it and got the following colors to work pretty well: Red, Green, Blue, White, Purple, Pink, Cyan. Orange and Yellow are not too good. The blue LED seems far more powerful than the Red or Green. I used light manager and entered the following manual settings (Advanced Settings > LED Color Mapping):
Red: FF0000 (left default)
Orange: 701500
Yellow: CC4500
Green: 00FF00 (left default)
Blue: 0000FF (left default)
Pink: FF1010
Purple: 901030
White: 703010
Cyan: 509075
Is your N2 white or grey?
Mine is grey, I'm using these custom values:
Orange: FF2200
White: FFDD40
I've tried your settings and found them to be better than default or my earlier attempts for: Yellow, Pink and Purple. I left Cyan at default 00FFFF.
Mine is Grey
I made the white dimmer because it seemed to blend better. I tried to stay pretty dim for the most part, trying to increase them keeping the same proportion to the values until I felt one color (usually blue) over powered the rest. I don't know how consistent the LEDs are from device to device. Just that on mine they seemed to mix better at lower brightness. I played for hours and ended up just sticking to the standard red green blue for notifications because they are cleaner. I'm half tempted to crack open my phone and try to put a lens or diffuser of some sort in there to try to get better colors.

I would of thought, if you have a LED control app you can change the LED to any colour you like, just like I can on my Nexus 5.
I have purchase the LED control app, so I'll check on this later today.
Will keep you posted.
It's only white. You can't change it.

Don't bother, I tried both LED control apps and Xposed modules, Nexus 7 2013's LED can only produce white light.
I have had a look around once I got home from work, the LED is only hardwired for one colour, which in a way I think is a shame because nexus recent nexus phones have multicolour support.
Thx everyone I now know that it can only produce White

Stock LED notification colors?

I know you can control it with an app like Lightflow, but does anyone know or have a list of default LED notification colors and what they represent?
As far as I know its based in the icon color of the app. So tappatalk would be orange, messaging is white and so forth.
