Hi All,
I owns an Xperia S running MIUI and as it has LED above screen, what I want is to lid the LED all the time like blackberry one, similar way it blinks when battery level is low. I searched a lot but found nothing then I thought to change the first low battery which is at 15% to 90+ but then found it not that easy as it is modded into android system itself. May be some setting need to be done at /sys/class/leds
So, if anyone knows how can that be achieved then please share here.
Thanks in advance!
Lite Flow might be able to do it

Well, in short, the notification led doesn't flash red anymore when an event takes place (missed call/sms). The phone has been upgraded from wm5 to wm6 a while ago and if I recall correctly, the led used to flash at that time. However, since it was simlocked, I had it taken to someone for unlocking. The guy reinstalled wm6 on it but that didn't help the unlocking procedure (it's a T-Mobile Dash actually, which are a bit more difficult to crack, requiring obtaining an unlock code from a central server based on the IMEI). I'm not sure at which point the LED stopped working, but right now it's not working anymore.
Any ideas ?

Well, this is what I posted on HTCforums as well, but didn't get a reply. As of yesterday, I have also upgraded to win mobile 6.1 (and WOW, this is all I can say ... just ... WOW) from 6.0. However, the notification LED issue is still happening.
The issue is somewhat annoying since I have no way of knowing whether I have any missed calls or new text messages.
Thanks in advance.
P.S.: I also have an Asus v1210 (Vodafone 1210) with winmo 6.
Try this...led utility
Thank you for the reply. Installed the app, and it seems like quite a useful little thing. Unfortunately the LED issue still occurs, still no red blinking. At this point I'm considering a more low tech issue such as the LED itself (well, just the red part) being damaged. Currently I have the upper LED displaying green and yellow (when charging) and the lower LED blinking sometimes, just no signs of red lights
could be, the only time i seen a red led on mine was when the batterys low.
I thought the only LED you could use for notification is fast flashing green for the Excalibur, at least that's all I could find after looking in many places for different color notifications.
If anyone does know how to get different color notifications or solid rather than flashing please share.

If you're using FRX7.1 it already does it.
Mine flashes green when I get a text or voice mail and red (orange?) when I get an email.

Indeed, to the first part. FRX07.1 now has userland control the LED's instead of the sleep state.
So this is what I've noticed thus far. When plugged in, the LED will be orange for charging below 90%, and green when above 90. The notification I believe trumps it tho, and AFAIK the only notification from email/text/etc should be green blink. The only time I've seen orange blink is when the battery is critically low! Pretty sure that's all the feedback it provides, let me know if you guys see something different.

oh! until now I have knew that why the LED turn on green while I 'm connecting it to PC ( firstly, I don't why and it turn on green only when battery 's full ).
Dear Arrrghhh,
as my idea it turn on orange while it's connecting to PC ( sync or charge a battery if the power less than 100%) until to 100% the led will become Green it notice for user know that battery 's full )
Could you please create more function as same as WM while connecting to PC, I thing it will be longer life of battery
it's : user will have 2 choices ( agree or not agree charge battery while connect to pC)
The LED deosnt work for me only when I charge my phone but not when I get a text

I already answered your question in the other thread. Please don't ask the exact same question(s) in multiple threads - it dilutes the community effort.

Uhhh... mine definitely blinks green when I get a text. Perhaps I have it backwards and when it's plugged in that notification trumps the other...? Are you using some 3rd party app to handle texts? You get no blink on or off the charger? I don't know why it wouldn't work for you, but does work for (literally) everyone else.
You didn't change anything with FRX07.1? Nothing? Just want to make sure, because if you did something like move to an old rootfs, userland notifications won't work properly.

My experience is just the opposite, charging (solid, orange or green) trumps notification (blinking). That's how it works in WinMo, so it wasn't a surprise to see the same in FRX.

I'm using K9 email which (in theory) lets you set the LED color, but no matter what I use it's always orange.
I do also get blinking orange for critically low battery.

Perhaps that's your problem? Dunno. You'll need to do some legwork if you modified the way the system handles text messages.
I use Google Voice and the stock messaging app for MMS. Both work great, and notify me correctly. As does the built-in GMail app...

...You just removed it from the app drawer right? You didn't actually remove the apk from /system/app did you...?
If you did remove it from /system/app, just pull the apk out of a fresh system.ext2. Or just throw in a fresh system.ext2 file, you won't lose any data assuming you leave the data.img untouched/intact.
I have a question regarding notification lights, I'm running CM10 with the stock CM kernel.
I came across the custom notification light feature, which is very useful. I currently have 4 colours set for 4 different apps. They work great, but the issue I have is multiple notifications. If I get say, a red notification, and then a blue one, only the red shows. Is there any way to have them alternate or is this an OS / kernel limitation?
I purchased LightFlow a while back for another phone, and have tried on this phone and it does it, but I'm not sure what phone performance/battery is like with it turned on, so if there's a way to do it natively in the OS I'd prefer that method of course.
Anyone know if this is possible without a 3rd party app?
i wouldnt mind knowing this as well... since lightflow i cannot use until the battery drain issue is resolved ...
so far i have not found a way at all... i dont think there is... which is succky
Hi guys, is it possible to set up the LED notification light? It is blinking way too slowly when receiving new mail on gmail, when missed calls and sms. There is at least about 15 seconds between two flashes. I don't want to use apps for that.
Is it possible? With root maybe?
I know you said you don't want to use apps, but LightFlow is AWESOME for all LED personalization. Root is required however. I love the features of the app.
Thanks. To be honest I don't want to use apps, because I don't want any app to run in the background. Does this light flow need to run in the background?
Any ideas?

Yes of course it's always running but it has had no impact on my battery at all. It's low impact running, only when you get a notification. It doesn't even show in my list of things that use up the battery.
okay, thanks. I'm gonna try it out then, but first I will have to root my device.
If anyone comes here, who knows how to fine tune the LED notification light without an app, please tell me. Thanks,
Lightflow light seems to work perfectly fine without ever having asked for root right.
Yes, indeed. I also tried it out, but it consumes 209mb... I just simply dont want that. And as I can see, somebody also wanted to "fix" it on the G3, but only these apps were offered to him. So it seems that there's no fix for that, changing some values in the system files or something like that..
Has anyone figured out to get light flow to overwrite the settings for the notification light in settings? It seems like my settings from both are working.

How do you set Light flow? On my phone it doesn't work (Oxygen 3.2.0)
Root
by rooting the op3.. i dont know about the unrooted phone.
For me, even with root and playing around with the LED settings, no luck.. I cant get it working unfortunately. The fancy stock colors the OP3 shows (especially for google+ or tapatalk) are dont even make sense to me.

I've been able to get it to work using Xposed/Gravitybox under the Ultimate Notification Control section.

Confirmed! You just need to get used to the colors, but it is working, thanks for this!
I use Light Manager. A little simpler than light flow and works perfectly fine on my OP3.
My light flow (pro) is working fine. Got snapchat glowing yellow whatsapp green and charging light set to red. Seems to be working fine.

Did you turn on accessibility? And what LED control methods do you have on in settings?

I'm using this combination as well, and it's working.. sort of. When my screen is off, the notification light constantly cycles through all the available colors, just like when you run the test and have to turn the screen off.. only permanent. Not sure why it's happening, never had this issue w/ any previous devices. I did restore my data from previous install, but I've gone through all the settings and checked/unchecked at some point and it's still happening. Thoughts/

I talked with the developer.. It seems that is an Oxygen OS related issue.. He told me that also the s7 edge was having that issue and it was fixed by Samsung with a software update.. On Oxygen I read also some people that has problem with stock led control.. Then probably there is something buggy on our system..
I didn't try any other led app however.. Did you?

Oh that's good to know, thx for sharing. I haven't tried any other app yet, I just disabled LightFlow for now since the constant cycling has to chew up extra battery when the screen is off. I'm also still on 3.1.3, going to upgrade to 3.1.2 and see if that helps.
