Hello guys, i have a simple question for you.
I had the impression that the led notification light for missed calls (top of the screen) is blue. I never payed attention. But today i noticed that the missed call notification light is green, like the fb messenger one.
Is this the right color or something is mixed up? Thanks in advance.

The light on my phone is also different, so I don't think it should be the same color all the time.

There are different color notifications for different apps. For Facebook Messenger is green, for sms is blue etc.
I had the impression that it's also blue for missed calls but i noticed today that is green and i want to know if its the same for the other owners...
I used to like my old Blackberrys bcuz they had apps that let you adjust the LED colors and blink speeds with various apps.
by default its diffrent colors for diffrent apps (most the time). My wife's lights up purple for some game she plays lol. it sucks you cant really customize them through the settings but I've used Light Flow (Play Store) on my S8 and it works perfectly (atleast for me)

Yes. Missed call is green.

One thing I really liked about the Touch Pro was the little light wheel flashed when you had an incoming text, a missed call, or a voice mail. This was especially useful if I walked away from my phone, and came back.
Now I don't know anything about programming, but I was wondering if it is possible to make the little buttons on the Touch Pro 2 flash in a similar fashion. Like a wave of light across the bar, if you understand what I mean.
Sorry if there is something like this out there. I didn't know what to search for.
why don't you just set the notification led to blink for each of these events. you can set it in the sounds & notification settings.

Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see where. On the sounds and notifications, it only has a tab for Sounds and a tab for Notifications. Not trying to sound snarky, but I don't see anything about a light on there.
Like I said, maybe I'm just missing it.
on the notifications tab theres a drop down menu for events. look in that & find which events you want the status led to blink for
That just flashes the little green LED at the top, right?

Right, sadly the tp2 only flashes one color with notifications/events. Flashes amber when battery is low
Hopefully someone can figure this out in the future

Yeah. I hope so too. I liked the little flashing ring of light on the original Touch Pro.
I was taking a quick look at the leds in the G2.
When i look at the jogball-backlight in regards to the trackpad light, I am unable to change the color. It retains the following value.
# cat color
color : invalid lengthI tried to echo "0 255 255" into that, and still see the same message when I cat it. Any ideas?
Also, I can cat 255 into the brightness with no effect. I see the value when I cat brightness, but the light is still off. Looks like you have to trigger it? When sleeping the display and forcing the notification light, the brightness gets set back to 0 after it's flash.
Also the jogball-backlight directory contains:
- uevent
l- subsystem
l- devices
- power/wakeup
- brightness
- max_brightness
- trigger
- color
Also, check this out.

You tried this after soft root, correct?
Hahhahha my mistake nevermind...
Where is the trackball light? Is it next to the earpiece like every other LED light on most HTC phones?

It has a touchpad light like the nexus and a battery notify light next the speaker. Currently, the trackpad flashing during an incoming call and the led light by the earpiece flashes during low battery or solid while charging. No flashing anything for notifications such as messages/email/ or reminders which sucks obviously. No apps change this currently without root. I guess this was the concern and the color obviously.
Tweetdeck makes the led flash when new post appear
When I have a new text message, with Chomp, the trackpad flashes intermittently as long as it goes unchecked.
Well that's good news I look a bit harder for 3rd party apps that can make notifications without root and see. Plus, there is a trackpad light app that requires root but let's you change colors and it creates notifications for email/sms/mms/ and reminders.
Have you tried that application yet? Would be interesting to see if it works as the directory structure looks different than what I read about the nexus 1. I was wondering if the 'invalid number' for color was due to no color being available, or just something that we couldn't read/set.
The notification in the earpiece looks to be amber/green versus RGB.

The notification in the earpiece also goes red when battery is low along with amber and green so I think its RGB. I miss that led being used for notifications like on the G1. The trackpad glows slowly for notifications and seems to be only if the screen is off.

If you go to /sys/class/leds you will only see amber and green. On my G1 I see red, green, blue. I think the amber is actually used for the red. I think it would be hard to having any blue colors without a blue led setting.
-oldsk00lz
Im assuming none of you guys seen the other two ligths located at the top left of the device on the face? if im not mistaken if you hold it up to the light it shows a purple square bulb below and a blue one above. is the blue one for blutooth? and is the other thing the proximity sensor?
I'm pretty sure both of the other "bulbs" you see are actually both the proximity sensor, on my vibrant there were 3 things, one was the ambient light sensor and the other 2 were the proximity sensors. I guess its an emitter and reciever.

Hey, I just got the G2 and I am also gravely missing the LED notifications from the G1. I installed handcent, and have gotten the trackpad outline to blink, but the blinking is so infrequent and limited to white. There must be a way to toggle the charging indicator LED's. I've tried the app "Blinker" with no satisfaction. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
not getting the notifications on gmail, or handcent or anything. This is a deal-breaker for me. I may steal my nexus back from my wife and leave her with the G2 if one of you smart guys cant figure this out!

That's because the trackpad does the notifications. Not the other lights nor will they ever work for notifications... get the apps that add reminders and you'll be fine. Quit crying...
Lmao @ quit crying ! But really.. Am I the only one who likes the fact that I can see when I have a notification while my phone is charging? I think it was a good idea though to seperate them. Any dittos?

What is this reminder you are talking about? I don't see any reminder in the sdk. Also, I would be on board with finding alternate apps that use this reminder instead if the Gmail app used it. No notification on gmail blows, I'm sorry!
Also, I heard chomp shows the led notification, but I tried it out and it doesn't how about being a little more constructive and offering alternatives.

No its not a built in option. Nor would it be in the sdk... there a few third party apps that add the ability. Here's what I use: gmail notifier/ sms notifier/ and calendar notifier. They are all free and available in the market. They work very well and make up for lack of traditional led. The trackball flashes too only in white and fades on and off slowly.

When the N1 came out, all we had was white notifications from the trackball. It took some time but devs eventually figured out how to get diverse colored notifications from the trackball, and from the charge LED.
Relax and be patient, surely the G2 will follow the same path. It just came out.
So far, each notification has been white but looking closely, it looks a muffled with tinges of red and blue in there.
How should it be?
It is rgb so it should be an array of colors. I know there are apps like light flow I believe that allow you to change the color. Gosms pro for example already allows me to change color
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
All the default notification lights are white as far as I am concerned. The colour tinges is from there actually being 3 coloured LEDs being on at the same time to mix the colours into white. But, yes, if you want to customise it use Light Flow.

Ok so can anyone else let me know if they get any other colour from gmail?
Tried light flow and the test mode flickered green (but no other colours) so it seems it is working at least.

I have red for gmail... I am wondering if this is related to the fact that I have restored some data with titanium backup...
Hmm. Strange. I notice I am not always getting notifications at all, neither LED or tone.
Hi everyone,
I upgraded from a Nexus S, on which it was common "knowledge" that using the capacitive buttons as notification LEDs, leaving them "on" used less power than having them blink, and either way using them saved a ton of power over waking the phone up constantly to check for missed notifications. I also wasn't worried about them overheating or anything because they're so low-power and on stock Android they're always on if the screen is on anyway.
Now that I'm messing with LightFlow, I'm fascinated by all the ways I can use colours and blink rates to know what's going on, but is there anything I need to be careful of? Does leaving the LED on use a significant amount of power, or is leaving it on a significantly lower power cost than switching your screen on for a second every 20 minutes to see if you missed anything? Do I need to worry about wearing it out if, say, I have a particular colour that's on 8 hours a day (i.e.: charging/fully charged)?
Lastly, and this one's just out of curiosity, do you have a particular logical colour scheme for your notifications? I'm trying to decide between colours based on urgency (i.e.: red = urgent, all the way down to blue = take your time) or trying to get the colour of the LED to match the colour of the app icon. Do you just assign random colours or is there method to your madness?
Thanks for anything you can help me with!

Not really, I just settled on:
WHITE - SMS
ORANGE - Gmail
GREEN - Missed Call
RED - No Signal (my house is Faraday Cage)
And that's it. Don't really need LED notifications for other apps. Feel like it needs some blue in there though!

I did has following:
Green (flash) - SMS/MMS (matches the icon)
White (flash) - Gmail (mail/letters come on white paper)
Purple (flash) - Facebook (kinda matches the icon color)
Blue (flash) - Google Voice (same as above)
Red (flash) - low battery (red = critical)
Yellow (flash) - Missed call
Orange (flash) - Calender
Pink (flash) - Song Pop (girly color for girly game)
Green (solid) - Fully charged
For the flash I used the custom timing of 1000ms on, 1000ms off.

Did you experience any battery issues due to lightflow?
I'm colorblind so I have to keep it simple.
Blue: SMS/MMS
Green: email
White: Facebook/G+
Red: Missed Call/Battery low
I have too much trouble distinguishing the other colors.
I use color code and based on priority from highest to lowest
Yellow = missed call/VM
Orange =vox
Green = IM
Blue = sms
Red = Email
That's it I think. Others I don't care enough about to have a notification on.
Oh. and I haven't noticed a change in battery life with light flow. Although in the past with other devices there were issues that eventually get fixed.

Not for the short while I had it, there are several ROMs out now that have LED customization built in now.
Am I correct to assume there is no LED customisation available for missed calls, charging battery, SMS in the original stock Android version of Nexus 4?

Sorry about that. I am not sure how Lightflow and Magisk work (or don't work together). There is another app similar to light flow called Light Manager. I haven't used that one. It may or may not work for you. I have heard that others like it.
I've used lightflow and light manager and they both work. I personally like the way lightflow app is set up but that's just me lol.

Hey
Tryied the aplications Lightflow and Light Manager..
Good aplications but it's for changing led beside speaker...
I want to change the color notification from the led around the screen .. you guys dont have it ? o.o
An idea of what I'm talking... Led/Light Notifications
I don't believe we can't edit this led. Maybe a change of code in the rom or a mod..
we have option to deactivate this led in the rom options, soo perhaps we can access to is code to modify either.
when receiving any notification I realized when the phone screen is upside up the led appears to be thiny, and If you turn screen upside down the led light become more larger and change the color to green.
Ideas:
- Changing led notification colors.
- Changing the time of led stays on.
- Changing light effects (Breathing, Fading, Marquee, Pulse, Spectrum wave, Alternating)
- Change intensity.
Is this possible? Or some of this ideas now or in the future ?

I think that what you are talking about is edge lighting. That is a feature specific to the S8 line (I think). It is actually the screen lighting up, not an LED. I am able to get mine to light, but it is always blue. I haven't been able to change the color, duration, or pattern, but I haven't put much effort into it.
Look up Edge Lighting for the Galaxy S8 and maybe you will find some pointers on how to modify the behavior of the edge lighting. On my version of the phone there is a setting for Edge Display, but it only has a few options of when the lighting is used. No color, duration, or pattern options.

Yes, thats right...
But I don't think the light come from the screen.
Try to put phone with screen down and make a call for your phone with another phone.. When start blinking, put screen up and see the color "blue" changing to "green".
The light frame when the phone is upside down is more stronger, and when receive notifications with screen up is tiny.
I believe that is the maximus frame of the "led".
Yeah your thinking about edge light. That comes from the screen (only the edge it lit). There's no way to customize it (that I know of)
