I've done a search and can't see a thread regarding the led on the front of the phone.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to write a program so you can choose the led colours for notifications.
I remember this being all the rage with my Nexus and trackball alert.
Just use (lightflow),search for it in google play...

There is an app in Play Store called Light Flow Lite (i.e the free version) with which you can change colours of the LED notification, but I saw that other than RGB other options are kinda messed and don't come out properly.
You could try it anyway,

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.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
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.

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.

What colours has everyone got working?
For a while, installing it stopped all notification lights. I only wanted it for sleep settings. I changed some colours today (red and green) but then even what was left as blue stopped working.
Test only shows green too.
It just seems to be unreliable for now. I wish I could get tasker to turn off notifications.
On my phone (I9300) it worked, but not perfectly. There were some audio outputs activated. Like someone is commenting me, while I'm doing pinch out on the touchwiz launcher. Idk why, but that f*cked me totally up, so I had to delete this app -.-
hopefully it was a bug, but it was really annoying.
EDIT: A glitch inside this app activated partially the talkback feature, to be concrete.
HTC Desire S!
I guess its not working on HTC Desire S can anyone confirm I tried but nothing happened no change in light color!
I made a video for the Samsung Galaxy S3 LED indicator and the app Light Flow Lite!
Does anyone know of an app that will flash the LED next to the camera when a text or any other notifications arrive?
Light Flow or Light Manager

Thank you. Ill check them out!
I've never liked the LED, probably because my old Vibrant doesn't have one. I use "NoLed" (free in the Playstore) on that and on my SGS3. It is far more useful than just a flashing light. If you use it, be careful of the settings. You have to set it up right for your specific needs or you'll get battery drain.
Is the LED only capable of showing red..green and blue? I can't seem to customize the colors I want via 3rd party apps like lightflow.

I would like to know this too. I just assumed it was RGB but if that isn't the case...
Grab this app and try it yourselves:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coolbeans.ledtester
I get all types of RGB mixes.
This app isnt working for me. I chose a colour, then tap on test and turn screen off, but nothin happens with the led...

Check Settings > Screen > LED Notifications > Other apps (the item at the bottom of the list).
You can change or without an app it has 6-7 colors, red green blue, purple, ponk , turquoise etc.. You can edit a contact and change their color when you get a text or call.

Also check accessibility options too.
I am also interested in using third party apps like xblast to provide custom third party notification led lighting so does this phone work with any such apps as it's not clear from the above replies please?

The LED can show every colour,not only red,green and blue. You can test it in the hidden menu(in the phone type 3845#*855#),going in HW test and then in touch LED test.
