Hi there,
after quite a lot of time of trying and testing I want to share my experience with you.
I use a Z1 Compact with rooted stock firmware 14.2.A.1.114 (Android 4.3) and I wanted to control the notification LED in the way that CyanogenMod allows it:
Disable charging notification
Enable custom colors for different Apps
Switch off the LED completely at night
My solution is the combination of two Xposed Modules with the App Light Flow.
First, install the Xposed Framework. To get it to work on your Xperia smartphone, you can use the Xperia version which works very well.
To switch off charging notifications, download and activate the module Disable Charging Led.
Notification colours can be modified by the module Xposed LED Control.
Xposed LED Control unfortunately does not allow silent hours and is limited to five modified notifications in the free version.
This is where the App Light Flow comes in. It comes with many personalization options like silent hours. I needed to install Xposed LED Control because without it, I was not able to control the LED with Light Flow.
Switch on the root mode in Light Flow (general settings) and configure the notifications and sleep settings as desired.
If you are unsure if all the instructions described above will work on your phone, you can try the free version Light Flow Lite.
Light Flow did not work for me without Xposed LED Control. I think this is not so obvious and so I hope this will help anyone with the same problem, maybe even with other Xperia phones.

Perhaps you mean "charging" instead of "loading" ...
I did the same thing. Downloaded Xposed LED control and Light Flow, but I have the following issue. When I receive a text message for example, the LED flashes in the stock colour (a sort of pink). Then I turn on the display without unlocking and the LED changes into the colour I customized. When I turn it off it stays that colour. This kind of defies the process of changing the colour, as I need to turn in the screen anyway.
Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong?

Have you switched off the notification light in the text message app? Or maybe you want to configure the color in Xposed LED Control? I was unfortunately not able to reproduce this issue.

Yes, I can confirm that too. I switched on Stamina mode a few days ago for testing purpose and I got problems with Light Flow, too. So, if you really need to use Stamina, you are limited to the functionality of Xposed LED Control.
Same problems on my Z1c.
Stamina is on and then the custom-color flashes once and then the default violett light.
Lightflow, light manager or xposed led control, all the same problem

I think we'll have to wait until Sony fixes LED notifications in Stamina mode. Other models have this problem as well. I switched off Stamina completely as Greenify is sufficient for me to freeze battery draining apps in standby.
For me LightFlow work without the help of the module only need to disable your Stamina completely impossible job because I am quite removed Stamina.
it is work good :fingers-crossed:
is there any app to change blinking time when stamina is on ? i don;t want to chagne color only what i need is faster led blinking ...

I currently use GravityBox [KK] to disable the charging LED.
For those who don't use Stamina because the LED does not work: There is the Xposed Module Xperia Stamina LED that works like a charm.

Hello, I would like my led notification to be solid, not blinking for a few seconds then off for nine, then blinking again. I have installed light manager and light flow from the market, but they didn't seem to take over. Do I need to be rooted for those to work? Is there any way to change it to be solid? I dont really care about the color. I am on a stock rom and not rooted. Thanks!
this is bugging me as well. solid, or flashing more frequently would be better, hard to tell if i have a notification at all.
How about the Light Flow app? You can create custom led patterns.
I use light manager. The ui is a lot more user friendly than light flow and it works flawlessly

I have it installed, however it didn't change anything. Are you rooted to get it to work? Also I have ART enabled, do you as well?
It works fine without root.
Hi all, I've just got an oppo find 7a but my LED notification isn't working? The light itself works because when it's charging it lights up but it doesn't light up for anything else...any ideas? I've installed Light Flow (paid version) and that doesn't work either? Also when I 'test' it with light flow it doesn't work. Not sure if I haven't enabled something or not but in settings -> display -> easy light, the notifications option is switched on. I'm using ColorOS V2.1.2i Beta, have also posted over on the oppo forums but it seems pretty quiet there.
would love to get it working
many thanks!
Hi All
I recently decided to remove as much bloatware as I could from my G3 according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=3149
My phone is rooted and I used Root Explorer to remove those damn bloaty appys
The problem I have now is that my LED constantly flashes blue and green. Funny thing is that I have gone into Settings > Display > Notification LED and turned this off and on without luck. Currently it is turned off and they LED is still flashing
Tried another route which was to install Light Manager to control the LED and no dice. Now I get a notification saying 'Tap to configure app notification and icon' and despite enabling it still doesnt work.
It seems something is causing the LED to constantly flash but I cant see it as an APK or a wakelock.
Trawled the web without much luck so looking for the XDA guys and gals to help !
Hey all, I've just got a OnePlus 5T, at the moment i'm running the stock OxygenOS.
I see that I can control the colour of the notification led, however is there a way to make it so the LED doesn't blink and is always on?
If not I might just flash LinageOS, however I was thinking of keeping the phone stock for now if at all possible.
Edit - I found this could be done with an app called Light Manager, however it always had to have a notification saying the app was running.
In the end I found I was missing various other tweaks from LinageOS, so have just flashed that and am really enjoying the phone so far!
