Stock LED notification colors? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know you can control it with an app like Lightflow, but does anyone know or have a list of default LED notification colors and what they represent?

As far as I know its based in the icon color of the app. So tappatalk would be orange, messaging is white and so forth.

can you change the screensaver colour when phone is on Dock?

I just bough the official dock and it arrived the other day. I have noticed that after a timed period there is a screen saver displayed with the time, arlarm and date.
It is in a horrible green colour. is there any way to change the colour of it? i want it like a blue colour to go with my ICS theme
Are you running on stock 2.3.4? Try changing it under SE's default themes.Hope that helps.

LED Color Choices... do they even work for the Epic?

Perfect example is Handcent SMS. Allows you to pick your notification LED color, and mine never has a difference, and this is the 2nd or 3rd Epic I've tried it on. Facebook, on the other hand, defaults the color to blue.
Does anybody know why I can't reach this level of customization with apps that have done it for years?

Our phone's LED has red and blue primary colors. Those mix to make magenta/purple. We only have 3 colors for our LED.
I've seen green.. but I don't know how to get it with handcent.

I'm not sure how to mix red and blue together in any way that makes green...
Edit : I checked with my 4 year old and she said that red and blue only make purple.

We don't have green only red blue and a mix of magenta

Changing the GNex's notification light frequency

I'm not sure if this is a ROM feature or can be implemented seperatelly but the only thing that bothers me on the GNex is that the notification light is blinking in a very slow rate. So let's say that I have the green colour set of SMSs, if I take a look on my phone the odds I see the light are 50%. To make sure if there's an update I have to look at it for like 10 seconds which is pretty annoying. I want the light always on as it was with my HTC Desire. Is there an app for that? Is this a ROM request?
Thanks in advance.
The BAMF Paradigm ROM lets you control the LED notification - both the frequency of the blinks and also allows you to choose a different color for different types of notifications.
Alternatively, if you're on a different ROM, check out the Light Flow app.

Notification light?

How many different colors does the notification light have? So far I've seen blue, red and green. Have you all seen any other colors?

That works too. Both offer deep customization but personally like and always use Light Flow

Watch your battery life using these apps. I found they were pretty harsh.

I downloaded Light Flow lite and in order to use it I needed to allow the app in Accessibility settings. After that the stupid talking service started telling me "the folder is open", "the folder is closed"

Light Manager color mapping
I played with it and got the following colors to work pretty well: Red, Green, Blue, White, Purple, Pink, Cyan. Orange and Yellow are not too good. The blue LED seems far more powerful than the Red or Green. I used light manager and entered the following manual settings (Advanced Settings > LED Color Mapping):
Red: FF0000 (left default)
Orange: 701500
Yellow: CC4500
Green: 00FF00 (left default)
Blue: 0000FF (left default)
Pink: FF1010
Purple: 901030
White: 703010
Cyan: 509075
Is your N2 white or grey?
Mine is grey, I'm using these custom values:
Orange: FF2200
White: FFDD40
I've tried your settings and found them to be better than default or my earlier attempts for: Yellow, Pink and Purple. I left Cyan at default 00FFFF.
Mine is Grey
I made the white dimmer because it seemed to blend better. I tried to stay pretty dim for the most part, trying to increase them keeping the same proportion to the values until I felt one color (usually blue) over powered the rest. I don't know how consistent the LEDs are from device to device. Just that on mine they seemed to mix better at lower brightness. I played for hours and ended up just sticking to the standard red green blue for notifications because they are cleaner. I'm half tempted to crack open my phone and try to put a lens or diffuser of some sort in there to try to get better colors.

Different LED Colors for Each App

How can I use this on HTC 10? Is it at all possible? For example, I want blue colored lights for my Telegram notifications. I set it to blue from within the Telegram app, but don't get blue, only the standard green.

HTC10 only has green and orange (red) notification led as always.
It's not a full RGB led, so only green and orange(red) are available.
