This didn't work on the Epic 4G, would be nice if it worked on this device? Is it only red and blue or is it multicolor?
Seems to work fine...
sent from my damn EPIC TOUCH 4G!!!!
If anybody uses go SMS you can change the led to a couple different colors and even change it for individual contacts
Epic 4G touch only has 2 colors for notification LED - Red and Blue

I'm using Handcent & I got a magenta light for when my girl texts me. I did choose the color "green" tho.
I am getting three color choices with Light Flow paid version. Blue, red and purple.

what are you talking about, Purple does not work with paid version, it's red and blue!!!
Purple is a choice in the paid version for me. Of course, the actual color is more like magenta but it does work. I have Direct Mode checked in the General Settings menu.
Good to hear some feedback on this...similar results here. Wishin we had more color options!
I've only found three that work:
setting > looks like
Blue > Blue
Green > Purple
Red > Red
Purple is of course just red+blue lit simultaneously.
This is in Pro version, NOT Direct Mode.
White = fast blinking red color.
Also I noticed that the led stays lit for a long duration of time when you choose red or blue. Then it blinks off really quickly and back to on...kind of like the reverse of how it is normally. Any way to fix that?
Thanks for pointing out that white will rapid flash. That is just what I needed!
this did not work for me at all? does it only work on rooted phones?
Dont know if anyone uses kicker but my led stays magenta when I get a message

Hi
Just for info. There shouldn't be any difference between the free version and the paid version of LightFlow for color controls as they both use the same code. The only differences are the length of time it takes to cycle around the notifications and the number of apps supported.
As for the colors, the app just sends an ARGB value to the phone (when running in standard mode) and then it's up to the phone to work out how to interpret it. It's good to know white allows for rapid flashing (odd interpretation there samsung, but at least it's more choice). This is the quote from the android development documentation regarding color representation "Not every color in the spectrum is supported by the device LEDs, and not every device supports the same colors, so the hardware estimates to the best of its ability."
If anyone wants to have a play with the app "LED color tester" by coolbeans in the market to see if they can get any more colors (e.g. rapid blue flashing etc) then let me know and I'll try get the extra option put into lightflow. Note, to test using LED color tester, you'll need to uninstall lightflow first as lightflow will take over the notifications, preventing control by the tester app.
Direct mode writes to the files directly in unix that control the leds. At the moment it'll write out a 0 or a 1 to the brightness file for either the red or blue led. My guess is that some other values allow for the flashing. If only there was some consistency between phones, things would be so much easier! I'm also planning to add the option to allow custom brightness values to be sent for the leds which may help control things a little more.

WHere do you set that for a single contact?
My device when charging, LED lights are too bright. This can be modified? Where does that set?
I use CM7.1.0.1
Thank you
Sorry man I dont think you can change it, you can only change the colour and stuff per app.
You can look around in : cyanogenmod settings - interface - LED notifications
Hello,
it's possible to change the color of the notification light ? it seems that the led lights in different colors wen i get a message or something else
Thx for Help.
If you are stock you can try Light Flow it should work okay.

i too use lightflow i love it and you can change the pulse rate of the LED and much more!
Some apps can also configure the notification light autonomous. Like with whatsapp for instance you can chose a green (or any other color) light in the settings.

thanks for the fast help, the LightFlow tool works perfectly.
I am On paranoid 2.99 and i didnt like the way that the led would blink in Deep orange for low battery and Notification so i was trying a few LED control apps .. and Found:
Light Flow Lite - LED Control : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite&hl=en
this works Partially . i could set my SMS notifications to Green .. and this supports 3 Colors only on our device .. Dark Orange , orange (kinda yellow) and Green
just thought it will be useful for people to know ..
be careful when using such apps. it MIGHT screw your phone.
Yup ! .. just Make a NAND backup just to be safe ! I made a backup ! .... the app is working fine for me ! .

Yeah I had actually used this app in the past and the led goes out of control, especially if you set it to green/ and /or other colors..

i'm running aokp but i installed the app yesterday and found that this doesn't work at all. It can only change the color of the first flicker and still shows the led light even if you turn it off. useless.
I can change the colors of the LED from the source files - there is actually a Java file that controls the LED and it is commented -
This device has only 3 LED colors. Do not try to parse any other colors.

So basically we can't play with them even if we want to .
Hi,
When I was using my HTC Sensation XE, you can use a file explorer to change the LED color.
I was wondering if I could also do it on my Note 2? (Change LED color via file explorer)
Yes, I am well aware that there are applications that support LED color changing at the Play Store but may consume battery.
have u ever seen the LED go a different color?
i have seen the notification LED change not the touch ones.
Try LED Manager, it doesn't consume that much battery
