I was reading the comment section for gsmarena I believe and i noticed someone complain about the redmi note 5 pro only having one colour for the notification light. However i tried to search for information regarding this on the internet but was only able to find a youtube video on the review of the redmi note 5 pro from gadgets.ndtv.com that showed a front facing white light they used for the 20mp selfie; jump to 4:18 for the diffused led fill light at the front.
If anyone can provide information about the notification light on the redmi note 5 pro, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Dont worry it'll be a RGB notification light. They won't cut corners on notification light for their note series atleast.
Update (23-05-2018): Turns out the notification light is a single color unit.
RN5 & RN5 Pro both have RGB notification light.
The op is right,
See here for more details

Dont worry its an RGB led. Its just the color is restricted to white only( like in my redmi 4x). It'll be enabled on custom roms.

The Mi6, Mi Note 3, 5X and A1 only have white notification LEDs. It seems Xiaomi made the decision 12 months ago that new models would not include a RGB LED. Please don't post information unless you're sure of its accuracy.

Bro i have redmi 4 and it also came with single white notification light but it turned out to be a rgb unit. So on custom roms the rgb led is perfectly working fine.

That's good to know. However, it would be good to confirm that's the case with all models or if you got lucky with the R4.

He ain't lucky, he is correct. The hardware supports RGB, but the stock software limits it to white light.
Custom ROMs may very well have the option to enable the complete RGB unit.

Yeah, I understand, but it would be nice to have confirmation about the other models I mentioned. It would make sense that it's simply a software limitation based on what he reported, but Xiaomi may have changed things in other models for all we know.

They may have changed for other device. But it ain't luck for sure for R4 as each one has rgb unit, just limited to white only in miui.
Also i hope its the same with R5pro.
Guys i confirm we do not have RGB LED.
It is just a white LED so using apps is useless.
Redmi note 5 and Redmi note 5 pro both have the same white single colour LED.
So it is not a software issue or software limitation but it is seriously absent.
Sources :- Comparing notification LED module form Teardown videos of RN5P, RN5, RN4, R4 available in YouTube.
PS :- Not only that we have single tone (white) dual LED flash for back camera. So no dual tone available. It is strange that there is dual tone LED flash for Redmi note 5 and single tone for redmi note 5 pro.
Link to the video?

Hello!
I am looking for a program for LED notifications. Which program allows to the LED lights all the time (when the screen is on). I tried Ilumination Bar(softkey always on), but the LED is blinking.
Best regards and thank you in advance for your help!
And, your question is?

It's not if you choose the option (light tab)->speed->always on
I did it, but LED blinks
Custom API
I think the notification LED isn't implemented using the standard android API. There is an API on the Sony Developers website called light effects. Hopefully, custom roms made for this phone will use the standard implementation method. For now on stock rom, someone would have to write an app to do it. I might ask the publisher of lightflow to add the lighteffects API.
GOOD NEWS!!
I have contacted the developer of lightflow. The developer says they will add illumination bar(the proper name what I thought was called sony light effects) support.
Great!!! I hope they make it soon.
Wait no longer

How can I set to the LED is always on- when I use a screen?

AFAIK, It's a limitation of stock rom. LED can only be controlled on lock screen and screen off. If you select always on, it may flicker slightly.
Deos Oppo find 7 has RGB notification led or is it just one color? Will anybody able to test it with Lightflow or any other app?
is the app light flow running with the oppo?
I guess it only has a blue LED...
Expecting it to have an RGB "breathing" LED would be too much for this year... but maybe we can get it in Find 9..

At least on the 7a it seems to be blue. Official product page suggest the same.

Hi to all, I have a little problem with my Z1C, the led notification light is very low, I compared the phone with other Z1C and the difference is really visible.
Is there any solution or possibility to edit to increase the power of the light
Thank's
Hey!
You can try with apps like Light Flow.
They have settings to adjust the brightness of the LED.
This however only works if its really a software issue. If the problem is a broken LED then it is a warranty issue.

If you phone is rooted, you can install gravity box and it has an option to set notification led frequency (by default it's 6000ms)

Thanks for the tip, now I try to hear the support from sony, if they can replace the LED under warranty, otherwise i will try your solution.
This would be the best solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212944 but I think it's not made for kitkat..

GravityBox? I don't see such an option, only on/off duration can be set.
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.

I apparently the Mi 6 has an rbg led but its disabled? Well this is what someone is saying here http://en.miui.com/thread-856341-1-1.html
Another annoying thing is that the LED of notifications can be only set up as white, a step forward because even cheapest xiaomis have multicolour LED. However, many Rom developers (like TomHenson) have found out that the Led is in fact multicolour (same as Redmi 4X) but capped by Xiaomi to display only white colour.

This apparently also happened on the Redmi 4X and there is a video showing it has an rgb led.
