Keep LED on when screen is on?

Is there any way to keep the LED blinking or stay lit when the screen is on?

I'm thinking you can with light flow in certain situations, but to better understand your question, why would you want to?

Agreed that lightflow can do that for you. I just love the app now that I have a phone with led notification again

Keeping the led on kinda beats the point of using led notif..
Maybe OP works at high altitude and needs a beacon to be seen

To keep the LED on while the screen is on AOKP 26 has this built in. Have not seen any other wat to do it though.

Why I have it is when I get a text I don't remember when I'm watching videos till I see it blinking and remember. Comes in handy some points.

Then light flow will work. There's an option to have the light turn off only after the specified app is entered.

I'm running Neutrino mod and have tried lightflow. But the LED only blinks if the screen is off. I have found no function to keep it on. am I missing something?

I haven't found an option like that either. I think our only option right now is to use AOKP or try and figure out how they are implementing it and make an app of our own.

As for those of you asking why you would want this, the answer in my case is full-screen apps that hide the notification bar. I have AOKP and was happy to be able to turn this feature on.

Notification lights

Sorry if this has been addresses....search sucks on the xda app.....what app do we use to have our capacitive buttons work as the notification light?

You need to have a kernel that supports BLN and download the BLN app from the market.

Dark side support it?
Edit: it works.....thanks alot....just came from epic 4g touch......missing my led notification light

Does it light a single one instead of all of them at once? Customize which light does what?

That is not possible with our phones, there's only one LED board for all 4 buttons, not one for each of the 4.....

I like the four touch buttons lighting up. It looks cool. Better than a regular notification light in my opinion

Damn right it is.....my epic touch with the light had 3 colors you can modify per notification.....I still like this phone better..... be nice if we had the same amount of developers the epic touch has

I've had my phone for a month or so and didn't even know this existed. Came from a Nexus One so missed my trackball notifications. Thank you OP for asking.

But therefore it is turning the screen on and off, but in parts. Plus most, if not all, of our phones have CRT Off, which does use most/all of the pixels.
I used NoLED for a few days, switched to the paid version of BLN afterwards.

I tried both NoLED and BLN. NoLED was cool for a while, but BLN in the end is the best alternative for notifications.

So is that bad for our screens? ..to have only certain pixels light up? There is an option to have a white bg instead of black...

Blue LED

On ICS I was using light flow to customize the colors and events triggering the LED. I used blue for SMS. Now that I've ported to JB and restored my apps and their settings using Titanium Backup anytime after getting SMS and reading it, the LED keeps blinking blue but only when the screen is off. Didn't happen on ICS. What do I do? Or is this a ROM specific issue?

The led only blinks when the screen is off. It DOES do that in ICS. That's how it's supposed to be

I would delete light flow and re install bc in their last update they fixed that issue for jb

It didn't do it for me back on ICS. In fact the LED didn't work at all, that's why I installed Light Flow in the first place. On JB the problem is that it still blinks even after reading the message as if there was another message to read. A phone reboot fixes it.

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?

Correct

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.

Can anyone test my new beta app?

Hi guys, I already posted here, but now I changed some code in my flashlight app (Lanterna), yeah it's in Portuguese, I'm Brazillian. Can anyone just download my APK, install and test if led is turning on? I just tested on my Nexus 4, and I don't have a Galaxy Nexus.
Thanks, sorry for bad English..

Led light doesn't turn on, just screen goes white after switch is turned on.

Thanks, I've thinked it's because Galaxy Nexus require the .startPreview, like Galaxy Tab require this.. Can anyone download Z Device Test on Play Store, go to LED and see if Galaxy Nexus support "torch", Thanks if anyone can do this!

If you are a dev, do you know another way than using the Camera API, and setting the LED to Torch?
