I'm a massive fan of LED's
I was wondering if there was anyway of changing the Hero's trackball LED colour? I know there are appstore apps that claim to change the LED colour, but i've had no luck with them...

There seem to be some apps who can change the led color, but those don't change the trackball but the real led light (the one blinking when you're battery is low)

I can only get the LED to flash either red or green. I'm thinking it will only do those colours. Anybody else made it flash blue?

In theory it can do all the colours the dream can.
But because we've only just got the kernal for the hero, hardware control is taking some time to cook up.

[APP]LightXT

Alright guys here it is. LightXT its pretty self explanatory. This does require you to be rooted. This is V.1 so there might be bugs but I haven't found any so you should be fine. This has only been tested on US XT720 running Khalpowers miui themed V3 but technically it should work on all models of this phone with the auto focus led.
Disclaimer: I am not held responsible for any harm this app may cause your phone or your LED light.
If you like this App please dont forget to hit the thanks button.
*****THIS APP DOES NOT TURN YOUR XENON FLASH ON IT TURNS ON YOUR AUTO FOCUS LIGHT***** sorry for the confusion
First!!!
Works great but i found a bug.
If you turn on the light and then rotate the screen you have to click 2 times to turn it off again...
But still awesome thanks!!!!
thanks. is the light supposed to be red? that's all Im getting
Yes its our auto focus light. Our actual flash is xenon which requires a charge to flash that's why no other flashlight app works so we created this one specific to our phone.
its amazing, thx! =))
this is amazing! thank you... thank you... thank you...
Thanks alot man! My buddy has been dying for this app and it works great. Any plans for a widget??
Just thought of something.
Could this somehow be integrated into say Khal's rom and set for use on media key?
That would be sick, probably just wishful thinking though.
I hear a cry off in the distance....
Widget...Widget.....WIDGET!!!!

I'm trying to convince him into making us a widget it shouldn't be a problem. And there will be a version with the rotate bug fixed uploaded soon. Can't give an exact time but ill update the first post when its in my hands.
Just Great...this can help me...Thanks
until a build in widget is added, the next best thing as a work around is to use
Widgetsoid2.x to create a widget shortcut https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2&feature=search_result

yup thats the only one that turns on our flash is a xenox so we can not just turn it on and off. thats why when you download a led flashlight app from the market ie. droidlight it does nothing. the apps are looking in the wrong place for the led to turn on and thats why we made this app ts made only for our phone and all other variants of this phone.
i feel like i wrote that before.

BLN control for my atrix?

Was wondering if I could get a mod similar to this that would allow me to use my soft key lights for notifications.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080529

Perdon me but I have to ask why do you want this implemented?
The SGS does not have a dedicated notification led but the Atrix does have one and works really well. Specially when used with Light Flow app.
Cheers!

I could honestly see why somebody would still want this.
I became too used to leaving my phone on my desk (say for instance I wanted to leave it on the charger) and easily see if I have a message across the room if I became tied up with something else.
IMHO I'm a bigger fan of BLN, than any other notification light that I've ever used on ANY phone.
With that said, no dev is probably gonna waste time porting it over with a default LED already on board...

Notification light

What is the notification light on this phone as it pertains to color and frequency blinking? I have an xda custom app from my old evo that would change colors of light and speed/frequency of blinking light. Will that app work with this phone??
Thanks,
Ian B
Please post questions to the Q&A area and create only one thread for them.
I'm sure it has a standard green and amber light. I have no clue about the frequency tho. I'm pretty sure the app would work tho
Don't quote me on that

The EVO 4G LTE does not have a 2nd notification LED like the OG EVO. SO if you are using the app that utilizes the unused WiMAx/2nd LED on the OG EVO, it won't do squat on the EVO 4G LTE (just like it doesn't do anything on the EVO 3D).
Colors?
Can anyone tell me if this is only a green LED, if it does green and amber like the original Evo, or if it handles many more colors like many other phones?
I'd love to hear that it supports many colors. Please let me know. Thanks!
Sorry to disappoint. Green and amber only.
Edit - I guess I cannot be 100% sure about that. I have only ever seen green and amber and any app that supposedly customizes notifications (none I tried worked) has not shown me any other color.

Dang! What a shame. I really like that feature. Oh well. Thanks for the info!
I think I was wrong. Based on the media link HD reviews I have read our phone (if it is the same as the One X) has a blue/red light in the middle of the grill. it is designed as a status for the media link device. I suppose once devs figure out how to hack it then it could maybe be used like the EVO Classic wimax light was used. I suppose it require the kernel source or something. Not sure. Hopefully the EVO LTE has it like the One X does.
Great! Thanks for the update. I guess we'll have to wait and see, but it's nice that there's a bit of hope. I don't own the phone yet, but plan to get it soon. I'm just doing my research. It's a feature I heard about for Android phones and then was disappointed when I learned that the original Evo couldn't do more than amber and green (and maybe red). Thanks again!
I can't wait for them the guru's to get this working!

Custom rom white/yellow torchlight

Hello,
Can anyone explain why the torchlight is yellow in every custom rom and in miui 8 is white? Is something to fix this and make the torchlight white in custom rom too?
Thank you!
Our phone has a dual LED, one is yellow and one is white. Both of the LED turns on simultaneously.
The fact that you see yellow light is based on your perspective. Try looking from the other side of the camera as the LEDs are placed horizontally​...
Hope this helps...

Yeah, i`ve notticed that, but anyway in custom rom (nos at the moment) the light is more yellow than white vs. miui8.. I don`t know why but this is present in every custom rom I`ve tried..

I haven't seen something like this. You can try rolling back to MiUi and check if the same problem persists...

Notification LED in Poco X2

Guys, i think there is a notification LED present in Poco X2, on far right side of the earpiece, albeit a tiny one.
Check for yourself, by punching this code in dialer and see options 5,6 and 7: *#*#7664#*#*
Maybe some cool developer can make a mod or something to make use of it. It'd be really useful for charging at least.
Yes, it is there .

wow NICE, at least it has one.
Wow that's awesome. I wonder why they didn't use it in the first place
It's not a fully fledged notification led, it's just a mono led used in testing and other stuff
It is little to no use since it will have just one light and there is a reason why they they never mentioned it
But it would be cool if it could be used.

Its good for charging and notification blinking.
Better than aod and other solutions.

My Mi A1 has a white notification led. My Mi Pad too. So it is a notification led.

Xiaomi in last 2 years of their devices always used mono color notification led just search you will find everywhere.So its the same thing, but why they didnt mention it is really interesting.You dont put a damn led to test stuff on a phone, there is no logic in that, you cant name a device even in android 2.x era that had a led as test purpose.
Lets be happy that we can use it in custom roms now.Thats a good addition when you use lcd phone which results in not being able to use AOD.
I have been using a Redmi 4 (Santoni) since its initial launch in 2017. It has a RGB LED but in the last three years i didnt get any ofiicial ROM update that Used the LED in RGB mode it's been stuck with that boring white LED for everything. After unlocking the BL and flashing TWRP Recovery the first thing i tried was to test the LED capability. And voila it's really is a RGB LED. Then i tried to use the LED in stock ROM but didnt work then I tried different Custom ROMs and all of them used the RGB LED properly. So Xiaomi clearly ignored the LED for Global ROMs. I never tried the China ROM but i read somewhere that in China ROM the LED works fine.
I recently bought POCO X2 and i didn't see any LED is there atleast in the Featurelist. But after searching for some references i found out that its disable by POCO (Xiaomi). In Redmi 4 RGB was disabled in case of POCO X2 the LED itself is Disabled. Really pathetic.
I dont think any Future ROM update will use the LED for anything. It will lay there waiting for us to switch to Custom ROM or Customize our Stock ROM to use the LED.

Well it can be used if you use custom ROM like PixelExperience
