Do you have White or Titanium ?
Lol, only three, R G B.
There is no light blue or light green, just your proximity sensor dimming the colour depending on your ambient lighting intensity. Dark room, light led, bright room, bright led.
To get custom colours, you need third party apps like Light Manager or Light Flow. However, after using Light Flow for a day, I can say, other than R G B, no colour appear to be prominent! But I've also heard this is a problem with the Grey units, but White ones, on white ones colours come out perfect it has been mentioned.

I have a white one and I can make every color but no shades.

The only accurate color other than r g b that the grey version is capable of is cyan. The rest are ****.

i thought LED can mix any color u like by RGB, depends on the kernel
btw, i just saw white, blue, green and red appeared on my note2
For those using Light Manager and/or Light Flow, which one has the best results on Galaxy Note 2? Any issues?
I'm reading A LOT of bad comments on Brazilian Play Store from S III users about Light Flow, and I'm afraid of messing up things here!
Don't be afraid of messing anything, if something goes wrong just uninstall the app.
And afaik, Light Manager is more consistent than Light Flow. It doesn't mess with your 'Accessibility' options. But I've seen that it drains battery in advanced mode, so better use it in Normal mode.

Thanks!
I was afraid because I read some comments related to an issue that messed up colors "forever". And something like eternal notifications until reboot. Of course, these could be solved with a full wipe.
Thanks for the reply.. it helps. .

Looks like an interesting App for controlling your LED notifications. Try it out and report your findings!

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...

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.

WHere do you set that for a single contact?
I notice my led light had a purple blue led light flashing..... Then other times it's blue is something wrong with my led notification light.

No.
What a way to explain lol /\/\
Anyways I have no idea what chooses the color but it changes by app sometimes, light flow seems to work 90% on rooted devices but not much on stock devices (Last time I checked it out) I wish Samsung Would make an update for it, love the led on the BB way back in 2006 and there is nothing like it sadly

Yes and no. The US versions have issues ultimately. Some apps will yield different colors. If you're rooted, you can give light flow a try. I've had good results and bad results with it on this phone. It worked fine, then I flashed an update of the ROM, restored light flow and... it doesn't work right.
ASOP and AKOP ROMs have good control of the LED. Just know, that the phone can't do a pure white and pure yellow. It seems that the main colors are red, blue, and green. It mixed lights to get different colors.
I would like to know why mine is blue and I gave the black one and my wife has the white one and hers is green? Also the little spot next to the ear piece on mine had a red glow and hers doesn't?

yea it will throw a different color for gmail,sms,missed call etc...
The little red light to the right of the earpiece is the proximity sensor. Its emitting infrared to be able to see proximity. You aren't supposed to really be able to see it, but its normal to see dim red in there when the sensor is active. My Galaxy S II did the same thing.
You can use light flow in the play store to change the color based on type of notification.
The ambient light sensor also affects the notification LED - its dimmer in dark rooms vs bright rooms.

Light flow sounded like a cool app so I checked it on Play however in reading the reviews it seems people with a Note II have had issues with it running properly.
Check quick glance in motion settings. I didnt see the glowing light until I turned that on. Pretty neat feature
OK so why can't the ZF2 US version not let you display diff colors for the LED light? I'm using handsent SMS and the diff colors wont work and I have also tried using lightflow, etc to have diff colors for diff notification apps. Is there a workaround that people have found?
Thanks.
I too have been trying to find a way to get this work. Unfortunately have not been successful.
Anyone got any tips ?
What colors does the LED support? I have seen green, orange, and red. A friend of mine claims to have seen yellow.
What situation shows red? I haven't seen that one yet.

I just got my Zenfone2 last night and also noticing that it shows a red light when charging, and a greenish-yellow light for fully charged and all notifications. I am very surprised to see it's not supporting multiple colors. Anyone know much about this?

low battery, I think it started blinking @ 10%?
Are there any apps that will make the colors work, or does this phone just not have color capabilities? I tried LIght Flow and Light Manager but they don't seem to take over (maybe I'm doing it wrong) even after giving the apps the necessary permission.
No idea,I tried with light manager too but it seems it doesn't support variety of colors or maybe none of this programs are compatible with the zenfone 2 yet

ASUS Zenfone 2 notification LED
Same problem with Zenfone 2 US version.. Lightflow just won't work. There are only 4 colors that the Led displays. A yellow for all notifications(no matter what kind or source), a very pale yellowish green for fully charged, a yellowish -orange for charging, and a red for low battery. That's it. No matter what I do, there are no other colors. Lightflow doesn't change anything.
Any change? Or there is another way to make them work?

Obviously, you didn't include the right combination of LEDs. Maybe blue and/or green is missing. Stupid decision Asus. All of the LED notifications are pretty much the same color except for low battery and charging. Stupid.

When your battery remains in between 15% to 0% the red light should blink.
The Facebook messenger app is the only app I've ever seen change the color. It blinks red when a message comes in.

Shi** phone, my last asus phone ever. I am a fool who changed Samsung for asus... Dam it
Just got a Pixel XL from Google, for my battery-issue plagued 6P.
Found out about the LED notifications and they work. Now that I'm using 3rd party apps (Lightflow, etc.) to customize it a bit more, the LED lights up w/ funny colors. For example, Orange looks mostly orange, but with a green part at the bottom right of the LED. Same with red, as there appears to be some blue in it. I never noticed this mixing of colors when not using the 3rd party apps.
Any chance the Pixel XL was refurbished, but the LED was borked and they didn't check it? -OR- is the 3rd party apps messing up showing singular colors?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
try a diifrent app to see if that works,i been using light manager on the xl and it works excellant
Red green blue colors should be exactly red green blue, because of nature of 3 LED light. But if it is different as you say, phone led calibration might messed up so may be you need to adjust the colors manually. I think light flow must have a hex code selector for colors.
I'm using light manager and those three colors are a match but others of course mixed.
