Light Manager works for me on all those. You do need to uncheck some of the stock led options in the settings. Don't disable, click on the words notification light and the individual selections will appear. Uncheck all the stuff you have changed the color on.

the problem is that light manager doesn't support the power button light so if the phone is sitting on its face you wouldn't notice any notification for third party apps

I can't get light manager or lite flow to work. I read I might need to do a factory reset, but want to avoid that.
Basically in either app, the test mode doesn't even work. I turned all the notifications off but left the notification light on. I know the light works and they light up when enabling them there. Gmail never works and same with Google voice. The calendar and text do work.
Anyone have thoughts?

I did a another factory reset. Lite flow didn't work at first, but it ended up working. Just make sure you install it before anything from the play store. I bought the full version so i could control Google voice. Well worth it in the end. I'm still ironing out the settings,but it works well now.

Let us know how it's working for you in a couple days.
I had it working on mine as well, but always after a day or two, it starts giving phantom notifications (the LED lights green, even with no notifications) and also using green for any notifications (it completely ignores the custom color setting).
I'd love to hear that it's still working for you in a few days. I hate not really having use of the LED for my needs (such a waste of a multicolor LED )

Yes, both Light Manager and Light Flow works for me. I'm rooted with the notifications lights turned on but the individual lights off. 90% of the time it would display the correct colors but sometimes it will go to the default green for my gmail. My charging color light always works. Make sure the options in Light Flow are correct. Check root mode if you are rooted, run in foreground, and reset color before change. I also have the reduce wake lock checked, and it's working for me so either way should work. To test just set the charging battery notification to blue with it constantly on, then plug in the power. The blue led should turn on.
I've also tried Light Manager and Lightflow and I've got nothing. LED's working with stock notifications, but not with third party software.
Does anyone have ideas for solutions or do I need to factory reset my phone (will that solve it)?
I had the same issue: native LED notifications worked (email, calendar, charging, etc.) but no 3rd party apps (BBM, WhatsApp, Kik, IM+, etc.) and Light Flow would not work. Light Flow was working in that I could hear the sounds, but no LED.
I had been using Light Flow on a GS3 for over a year so I was familiar with the app but nothing I did got it working.
Finally, I decided to do a factory reset; however, I first turned off "save settings to google servers" (paraphrased) and turned off "automatically restore apps and settings" (paraphrased). After the reset, I re-installed Light Flow first and then a 3rd party app (BBM, I think). Did a quick test and Light Flow was working! I then reinstalled the rest of my apps and for the most part everything is working.
Only two slight issues: my Email LED is green rather than the yellow I set it for (although it seems a very bright green, I wonder if they are both working?), and my Calendar reminder does not work at all (natively or using Light Flow). However, I am not sure if the issue is that I am using a replacement calendar app (DigiCal+) or a Calendar Snooze app. Not a biggie though, I am happy that my IM and 3rd party app LED's are working, especially since I am running the stock launcher and my notification badges aren't working for non-native apps (I used to use Missed It! with Nova Prime).
Oh. Same issue. Even the test mode does not work . And i don't want to reset at any cost
Even whatsapp notifications do not work. that's bad.
Might run going into settings > general > accessibility and check to see if Lite Flow or Lite manager is on in the services. Hope this helps

Has anyone found any app to change the LED color or flash frequency for notifications? That was probably my favorite thing about the G1, and when I got the Cliq I was disappointed. The Slide is leaps and bounds better than the Cliq, but I was still hoping for a blue LED...
Im pretty sure if you use handcent for notifications atleast you can change the color for text
I use handcent for all my texting, and that's about the only thing it won't do so far is change the LED.

i dunno it may not be a multi color led
I haven't been able to get any colors out of mine yet but green orange and red(orange may be just red and green on together?)
why not put a led like in the g1 its nice to know what the notification is before the screen goes on... it cant be that much more costly, i am also coming from the cliq, I bought a g1, mt3g,cliq and not a slide all on the first day they were available from tmob.
im very glad to be back to htc, i have used htc almost exclusivity for the last 4-5 years and i doubt ill stray again in the future
Yeah That's what I did minus the original mt3g. Hated the cliq though. I went through 5 cliqs because of hardware defects. Worst phone ever made.

There seem to be people that can get it, and cant get it. Like, I jsut downloaded Handcent yesterday, but others cant, but I cant Find/Download LauncherPro, but others can.
Been told its a Google issue.
i heard it was a problem when apps get updated they are not showing back up in the market, it only seems to affect the slide, odd but the first few days i had my slide the market was acting very odd it was slow and wouldn't show any paid apps at all, but it seems fine now...

Are you sure your getting a blue led flash using Ringo Pro, cause i have it and its green only. Even if i set every setting on my phone to not show a led for notifications, using Ringo pro it still flashes for some reason. If you have a blue led pls take a picture so we can see this?
I noticed (unless it was my imagination) 2 different colors for my notification led (which I was pleasantly surprised to find), Gmail is like a light blue, and I think it was fb that was regular blue, so is there an app to set the led color for each app?
Or at least see all the colors it can display?

You can use LightFlow which allows you to control the notifications (light, sound, vibration) for a ridiculous amount of apps. Works perfectly on the Nexus 10, I've used it on my Galaxy Nexus forever. It's a phenomenal app. That's the lite version, there's also a pay version which unlocks more features.
+1 for lightflow, I use it on my phone its great. Trying it for my N10
I'm pretty sure some apps have built in customization for the led color, I've seen it in the facebook and facebook messenger app.

It works very well. Prior to configuring lightflow notifications were not illuminating the LED. After setting up lightflow all is as it should be.

lol.. well I had found this app before starting this thread, however it seemed like it was messed up because it kept showing a light when I had no notifications. Turns out it was "No signal," and after disabling everything in Light Flow, I can test the led for colors.
I suppose you cannot use any other apps that Light Flow doesn't have? for example Facebook or Google Voice? I don't see any way to add an app. oh well.

You can't add programs but the paid version has like over 300 different apps I think. Well worth the dollar or two. I use it for Google Voice on both my N10 and GNex and it works perfectly. If it's not there it's likely due to being the lite version as mentioned above.

Craigsnotifica goes purple. (Edit: On my S3) Try that.
If you couldn't tweak the color led light for Facebook, go to Setting -> Notifications -> Light
If you're willing to root and flash a custom ROM, many feature the ability to control led and set custom colors on a per-app basis. From personal experience, I know that the AOKP ROM by Task650 and Ktoonsez has an awesome interface for doing so.
Hey guys
I got a question regarding the notification light.
1.When I get messages on KiK the light keeps green(it won't flash it just stays green the whole time till unlock) is this normal?
2.When I get messages on whatsapp the light is white and blinks, but when I go to the whatsapp settings and set it to green it won't blink when recieving a message. Why is this?
3.Is there a way to see the unlock circle or lock before typing my pin? Like when I wake up the phone I will first need to move my finger on the screen THEN I can type my pass.
Thanks in advance for your help!

1. I believe this is normal for kik on Nexus 4, but a solid light is weird. Don't know why, though I've seen this happen with kik on other N4s.
2. Could be that kik is interfering with the LED settings? Do you have lightflow installed which could be interfering as well?
Try contacting the devs for kik can whatsapp, they could probably help you out as well.
3. Currently, no, not with the default lockscreen. You can do this with a third party lockscreen however, such as go locker or MiLocker.

The LG notification light software could be overriding third-party program settings. When you use the notification test mode in lightflow, the LED does show up as whatever color you configured for that notification. I just got the phone and I haven't had a chance to really mess around with the notification light so I'm not sure.
Test mode only shows red no matter what color you choose in both light manager and lightflow

Then u have a defective phone...
alright, this is what I do to get mine to work.
Download Light Manager. Make sure operating mode is set to normal. Then just to test the LED settings change the missed call of any normal notifications to a color of your choice. Then under the same menu where you changed the color hit Test. Once you hit test a pop up menu shows up. Says something about screen off or something. Well don't click anything. Just hit the power button on your G2 and turn the screen off. wait 3 seconds and you should see the notification blink the color you just picked. now turn the phone on, click ok and click Restart light manager.
Now for Gmail, or other apps to blink custom colors you need to uncheck the notifications from normal system settings. go to settings - display - Notification led. Don't click the on.off switch, click the words Notification LED. Then uncheck Missed call, meissed messages and missed Emails. well, all of this fixes mine. I have Customs LED set and it works fine.
Hope this helps
I am the developer of Light Manager. It is an app to configure notification LED color and its flashing frequency for different notification types.
I noticed that there are quite a lot of Nexus 5 users are using Light Manager app. Almost comparable to Samsung devices which Light Manager is designed based on. So I would like to make it fully compatible with Nexus 5. One major bug that users reported is the WhatsApp notification LED does not turn off even after notification has been read or cleared. I think it happens to other notification as well.
I don't have a Nexus 5 to test. Could someone willing to help in doing some beta testing? You may PM me or send me an email. I will send you the install apk for beta testing.
Thanks in advanced.

You mean the LED notification for hangouts remains blinking even after you have read the message? If you are using normal mode, did you enable "Allow Recreate Notification" in Light Manager > Hangouts option?

This has to be done at the firmware side instead of application.
Light Manager can support it if manufacturer allows it.

Sometimes whatsapp notifications keeps blinking even after clearing the notification. It's needed to restart the light manager app.
It would be nice to have a led notification when receiving a call like light flow does.
There is no charging indication too. But I think it's a problem of nexus and not the app.
I keep using this app anyway, I use since a had a galaxy s4.

There's no continuous led when charging.
The s4 behaviour is: when charging, red led continuously, when fully charged green led continuously.
In my recent experience with nexus 5, I can see that, with the stock kernel, it's impossible to have continuous led, only intermittent.
With custom kernels, like Franco or faux, we can see in changelog that there is continuous led implementation.

You can try go to Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Static LED and select option 2. That will give you somehow continuous red LED (In fact it is just 8s on 2s off as reported by other Nexus 5 user).
