I wonder if some dev is already working on it but it would be great to be able to use the capacitive lights (under the screen) for missed calls and missed messages...
Checkout NoLed from the market..
Edit...
Aah sorry I see you mean the soft key lights...

NoLED can't do that. AFAIK there is no such app at the moment. NoLED is close though.
you should check out the nexus s forums. there was an app that can do that on the nexus s but a custom kernel had to flashed that had that functionality built-in. i think it was called bln (back light notifications).
as for noled, it is a pretty cool and very functional app. i used to use the very first beta releases when i had a galaxy s, and i was recently using the market version on my nexus s and it allows for the screen to show notifications of missed events, plus you can also have it give audio reminders every so often if you do not acknowledge a missed event

Hey guys,
i'm searching for an application or built in option that lets my phone vibrate every x minutes if there are any pending notifications that i did not react to.
is there anything out there that could fit my needs?
didn't find any "repeat"-funciton in tasker either.
i want something like that, for my missed events/calls/sms

yeah, me too.
my 10 year old phone could do this... and had a flashing led :-/
there is an app out in the dev sections here for galaxy s that uses the screen as LED notification sort of
ill have a look this week at coding something as its should only use a few Broadcast Receivers and not be too complex
I think this would be a better idea then the noled app to be honest!

Is there any news on this app?
maybe we could entince the developer of NoLED to include Vibration
Something like 'notify' on the mAemo platform would be cool. Had an n900 which had multi coloured configurable led but it was always nice to have audio notify every 5 mins for missed calls and texts.

You're not alone. I like that CM7 has that feature, but sometimes it's very buggy I guess. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does.
I have never been able to get this to work, and I have even increased the LCD density to ridiculous levels just to have a larger bar to swipe on.

OK, at least I know it's not just me. I even tried tuning off status bar dead area thinking it might be that.
Any alternatives for changing brightness on the fly?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
yeah, the status bar brightness doesn't really work vary well for me ether. I had to add a brightness toggle power widget to the notification bar. brightness mode at auto / dim / 25% /50% / 75% / 100%
There's a really great app developed specifically for CM7 on the Nook called RecentPlus over in the themes and apps forum. It replaces your long press home with a recent apps dialog that contains recent apps, plus brightness and volume sliders.
Recent plus fits the job rather nicely, thanks for the suggestion.
Wish is defaulted to brightness slider instead of volume, or remembered your last choice... But now I'm nit picking.

Hit the settings button once you're in the app and those options are available

Thank You! I cant believe I had never noticed this before. I always thought it would be a handy feature, I was secretly jealous that my wifes iPhone could do it and my GS2 couldn't. I may have to power up the GS2 just to see if the option was always there.
I remember recently that there was an alternative to LightFlow being featured somewhere (forget if it was XDA or Reddit or somewhere else).
Does anyone remember it? I believe it was a bit more lightweight than LF.
EDIT: Decided to make this the general Nexus 5 LightFlow thread since that's what it pretty much became.

I could find and try this one only.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager
But eventually I moved back to light flow because it works better for me in KitKat.
I prefer light flow. I like being able to set it to dismiss the light as soon as I turn my screen on. Quickest way to get the light to stop blinking.

Uncheck the foreground option in settings. I always uncheck that and I've never seen any difference, except the persistent notification goes away.

How about getting the led to be always on?
I've always liked it better than pulsing, and set it up like that in the Galaxy Nexus, but can't get it to work on the N5 yet.
is it worth having root mode on as well ?

I see the very first app i ever purchased on the android market for my old N1 is still getting updates (sept 2013).... TrackBall Alert Pro... also Trackball Alert..
updates say it will work with any trackball (hah i miss that thing) and RGB LED.. from what i remember it was a pretty minimal app that let you choose colours/flash rate/etc...

There's an option in each notification under the "light" tab for "LED flash rate" for "always on / very slow pulse". I have it that way for when my phone is charging.

It works on mine for charging indication. What kind of app are you trying to get it to work on?
Edit: I tested in on gmail, and you are correct sir. It doesn't work.
Hi all. I have been doing some searching around for a way to get the rear LED to light up in any way shape or form for apps, specifically SMS.
Has anyone found a way to get it on AT ALL using apps like Light Flow or Light Manager? Stock or a custom ROM? If you have gotten it on in anyway at all, please let me know! (And how you did it please)
I spent some time emailing with the LightFlow dev last night too, and he is interested in getting control over it too. So anything to get it on is great.
Thanks everyone!

Just tried, same results.
I have it half on with this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958939
Working on full access. Ill keep everyone updated.
To use that app install it and enable it in accessibility. Then open the app and go to auto locate. Choose your LED here. "button-backlight1" is for the left, "button-backlight2" is for the right. It will probably just show you up to the word "button: though. But it appears twice, once on the left of the screen, once on the right. Choose either side. And that's it. It will flash when you get a notification.
Light flow works for me rooted on stock Rom. ...you have to enable it in settings then enable it in the setting for the specific notification You want. .. but now blink or pulse. ....tell the light flow dev to add this option to his app

I sent him an email about this a few minutes ago. But light flow also only lights up half of the ring, the right side to be specific. If you use the app I linked above you can get either half (left or right) working and it blinks!
Ill let you know any updates I get, but at least it is half blinking now!
Worked some more with the light flow dev. We have gotten the FULL led ring to light up! It is currently solid. Ill post more as it develops.
In the meantime here is a picture of my device, using lightflow, when I receive an SMS. Enjoy for now!
