You can't change the trackpad as it's only a white LED. The notification LED is a tricolor (green, amber and red) however I'm not sure as to how to change what color shows when; granted I don't see why you'd want to as it makes sense how its set up now (green=charged/notification, amber=low, red=almost dead)

a app i use to change how fast and how often the led or trackpad led light flashes is Ledmeknow. its free on the market and works great. so far there is no way to change the color of the led

Learn to love soldering irons ;-p

LEDMeKnow has issues with CM7 and Themes .

Its odd noone has found a way to change it. Like said, the top one is only one LED and it is amber/green which should be able to be modified.

Haha I remember the G1 lit up blue when you had a Facebook notification

LedFlow only allows me pattern changes and from what I see only Green and Amber. Have you tried it and have you gotten Blue and Red and Yellow and other colors?

Noone have any information at all?

An LED's colour is a function of the hardware, and thus you cannot change it in software. It would be like giving you a can of red paint, and asking you to paint the room blue.

If only 1 color is included in the phone you won't be able to change the color..post above me was good lol

Hmmmm if we had the right tools would be able to physically change the trackpad LED colors???

When rooted, some phones have LEDs that can be changed to any color.

the point remains the same. those "some phones" are not the Desire Z nor is it a G2.
The fact remains the same: trackpad only shines white and the notification light only shines green or orange (maybe red, i'm not sure).
Refer to the post you quoted for a layman's term on why the DZ/G2 can not change to any color you want.

If by "tools" you mean a soldering iron and a bin of multicoloured LED modules, then yes.

Sure, and those phones would already have LEDs capable of doing that. But if your phone has, say, a green LED in it, you cannot somehow use software to convince it to emit any light other than green. You might as well ask if software can turn a 480x320 display into a 1280x720 one. The answer, again, is "no".

I wasnt sure if it had a LED capable of that as it the LED in it transmits orange and green.
And the display is one of the worst examples ever: You can thru software make your display display whatever resolution you want.

Led notification

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.

[Q] LED weird colours

is it normal that my LED colours seem to have multiple colours in them.. like example if i set the notification ligth to be orange ( with paranoid rom, but did the same on stock with lightflow) the light will be half light red and the other half will be yellow.. or green and blue if i want light blue.. it seems i have to mess around with the colours value (RGB) to get just one solid colour and not a mix of multiple colours..
this is hard to explain.. so if you know what i mean please let me know.. if not i can take a picture and upload them here!
Thanks

It's my understanding that although it IS an RGB LED, that doesn't necessarily mean that it will be able to recreate every color you could dream of. There's actually another thread here in the S3 section (Forget which part) where people are compiling a list of different Hex values of colors that turn out really well.

thing is is that im using ParanoidAndroid rom, and i dont see the option to add a hex value.. i can only pick a hue and slide the colour around ..

Well, in my experience with that, it seems to have a better color output for the LED if you don't have the saturation all the way up..... Say if you were shooting for a pure red color, have the slider down just a bit from as bright as it can get. Seemed like whenever i tried using that to set LED colors, if i had it all the way up, it had something else mixed in.... generally i think a bit more of a white color to it.

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.

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. .

LED notification not able to display diff colors for apps??

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?

Device status with different colors of LED indicator - green, orange, and red

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.
