I've put this in the Development section because whilst it is almost fully functional, it still needs a lot of development. Please be aware of this when you download it. I am not to be held responsible for anything that may happen as a result of running this app.
Requirements:
Root Access & a Custom ROM (StreakDroid 1.8.0 recommended (CONFIRMED WORKING ON 1.8.0))
Built under a 2.2 framework. If you are running anything pre-2.2 please be aware it may not work.
Please remember to remove all previous versions of the app before installing.
Simply open the app and press the "Menu" button. I hope you can figure the rest out! Enjoy!
"LED Notification FREE" has been uploaded in the Market. It has full functionality and it Ad Supported.
Please be aware that this version includes an "AdBlocker Check". This will block the app from opening if you have an adblocker installed on your phone. Sorry about this but i hate adblockers Alternatively, you can just remove all instances of Admob from your Hosts file.
Code:
[I][B][COLOR="blue"]QUICK HANDCENT FIX[/COLOR][/B]:
Open Handcent, press 'Menu > Settings > Notification settings > Popup settings'.
[B]MAKE SURE[/B] 'Screen on for popup' is [B]UNCHECKED[/B].
Handcent wont interfere with my app from then on :D[/I]
NEW TO 2.0.1
Asks for SU Access when the app first loads Fixes some weird error that happens every now and again.
Completely re-coded the SMS receiver. Much smoother now!
SMS and Gmail Notifications can be turned on or off
New settings page - done properly now, wont save anything to sdcard [you can delete your STREAKLED folder now!] Press the 'menu' button when you open the app for settings.
Permissions tweaked (should be less LED problems)
KNOWN BUGS
Changing orientation during the pattern causes problems. Just don't do it!
Notifications overwrite each other. So if an SMS message arrives and then a Gmail, only the Menu button will be lit, and vice versa.
Services cannot be stopped (only by uninstalling) FIXED - 2.0
Sometimes all the buttons will end up being lit, not sure why. [SHOULD BE FIXED]
TODO
Add options for turning the SMS and Gmail notifications on and off DONE - 2.0
Have different patterns for each DONE - 1.3
Improve the UI (sort of) DONE - 2.0
Improve the pattern flashing sequence (sort of) DONE - 2.0
Clean up the code (WIP )DONE - 2.0
Fix orientation issue
This will ALWAYS be available for free on here, on Modaco and on my website (see sig) but i have uploaded a 'donate' version on the Android Market Place priced at £1.50, just incase you fancy buying me a beer
Enjoy

I've put this in the Development section because it is not fully functional and still needs a lot of development. This is basically a proof of concept app.
Requirements: Root Access (tested on 2.1 but build under a 1.6 framework so it should work on 1.6)
All you have to do is run the application, hit the home button and receive a text (or send yourself one). If your phone is locked it will wake up and dim the screen and flash the home/menu/back LEDs in a nice pattern and then keep the screen dimmed until you unlock the phone manually.
The only problem is that you will receive a Force Close error message and you will then have the re-open the app for it to work again. I am trying to fix this but will not be able to look into it for a few days so i thought i would release what i've done so far.
I will be adding settings and more patterns as soon as i can fix this FC error.

Well... GREAT!!! Thanks! It works... Was searching this kind of app for weeks. Thanks again!
Great little app. Can't wait for thenext update
Nice work.
Just out of interest though, what's the dangers of having the screen on dim all night if I get a text message at stupid o'clock?
Wouldn't want to burn anything on my screen if that is possible.

Screen burn is an issue on LCD screens, hence why i set it to do a dim wake lock instead of a full brightness one. Saying that, i have absolutely no idea whether screen burn would still occur but ill test it tonight and report back
On a positive note i have fixed the FC error and will release the fully working version tomorrow!!
Nice work dude ! Look forward to a full release tomorrow.

No, i'm afraid not.
Without Root Access it will probably just force close.
Currently in the process of adding more LED patterns
It also now wakes the phone, unlocks the phone and displays an "SMS Message Received" popup which it then hangs at until you close it.
Do you guys think this is better or should I make it lock the screen instead?
What else should i add/change?

I'd prefer it stayed locked, also if I read this thread correctly, it leaves the screen on (but dimmed?) is that true? I would need it to kill the screen, because as noted, it could kill your battery if you went a long time w/o clearing the alert.
Nice work so far though...

Yeah, that's the only problem.
unfortunately, killing the screen freezes the LEDs in whatever state they're in, completely defying the point of the app
What i could do though, is wake up the screen, flash the LEDs but leave one on and turn the screen back off. This would turn everything off apart from that 1 LED and you could use different LEDs for different notifications. I'll try that out later.
Yeah, that seems like a good idea. Maybe the Back LED for missed SMS, the Menu LED for missed call. Something like that.
That would be cool, I'll await your work and give it a try.
Well, it turns out that works miles better than what i was trying before.
Basically, it now turns the screen on, keeps it locked, flashes the LEDs, turns the screen back off and leaves the home LED on.
Give me about 10 mins and i'll put up a working version. No FC error this time
Can't wait for this!

First post updated with a working version
None of the options work on the main screen yet, but they will.
Enjoy
I haven't tried this yet, but I just want to say THANKS! No notification light was driving me crazy! I'm gonna install it now. I like that it would kill the screen but leave the LED light on. That's perfect!
**EDIT**
Well, it didn't work perfectly. Here's what happened on my Beta Streak....
With locking disabled (I use the 'NO LOCK' widget), it turned the screen on and said 'SMS received' and the home LED was on, for about 1-2 minutes, then both went off. When I turned back on the screen and read the msg, the LED went out.
With locking enabled, like most people would be using the app, the screen turned on for a few seconds while the LED pulsed, then both went out. No notification. When I unlock and read the msg, the home LED stays on. I have to 'clear' the app in the notification tray and lock then unlock the screen to make the home LED go out.
Seems like they're little tweaks that could be needed. If you can make this work and be functional, I'll donate to your Paypal! Again, thanks for your work on this project!!
Yeah, it's still pretty much in it's 'Alpha' stage
Cheers, for the feedback, i'll look into the errors.
I know that if the screen is unlocked the Home LED will stay on until you lock/unlock the screen, but that should be an easy fix (hopefully), and i've not set up the Thread's quite right i don't think which could be causing the timing errors.
I'll be spending all of tomorrow getting this thing working so i'll report back
Awesome! You are the man!
A thought for down the road development:
Earlier today when I was thinking about this, I imagined an interface where the user could "record" their own flash sequence for each type of notification they had - email, sms, mms, missed call, etc. Just choose which notification they want to specify, click record, then tap the capacitive buttons in the sequence you want them to light up, then end the recording. Interval timing could be recorded or specified manually. Just a few ideas!
Thanks so much for this. I'll give it a run soon.
Awesome work. Wanted something like this. I hope you will be able to add notifications for misssed calls and gmail as well. Keeping my fingers crossed.
BLINKING BUTTON NOTIFICATION for 354, 360, and GS2.4b3 Dell Streak ROMs
UPDATE (2011/10/20) v0.999
Uploaded blinking button notification patch version 0.999, for ROM 354, 360, and GingerStreak 2.4 beta 3. Drop support for ODEX-ed ROMs as it seems impossible to update with ODEX-ed framework on ROM 354.
Download the correct version for your ROM below:
Update.zip v0.999 for DEODEX-ed ROM 354 and 360
Update.zip v0.999a for GingerStreak 2.4 beta 3
UPDATE: Confirmed working as tested by zero410
Changelog (0.999)
- Fixed screen turned on during LED blinking. Screen will never turn on neither lit when blinking the notification!
- The 3 capacitive buttons cannot be used to stop notification anymore. The phone needs to be unlocked with power button to do so.
- Prevent button LED blinking on proximity sensor activation during phone calls.
PS: The most ideal, elegant, and power-friendly solution for enabling backlight buttons for use on notificaiton LEDs are, still, loadable kernel modules. The patch will never reaches version 1.0, unless it is implemented as kernel module, in the future.
UPDATE (2011/10/16) v0.91
Uploaded blinking button notification patch version 0.91, for GingerStreak 2.4 beta 3.
Changelog (0.91)
- Fixed blinking to disable when USB is connected between 8:00 PM to 4:00 AM.
The feature wasn't working before.
ORIGINAL POST v0.9
What is it?
I would like to have a notification LEDs like the ones found on BBs. Unfortunately, Streak didn't came with any (hardware) notification light. I've tried several notification solutions but still not satisfied. Heck, I'm not even satisfied on how Froyo handles notification LEDs! Hence breaking in the Android framework, and the resulting update.zip
This update will patch your Streak so it will now blinks the button(s) backlights whenever an application puts *any* notification icon on the status bar. That's right, the patch won't care whether notification asks for light or not. It'll just blink it! The update also (of course, priority requirements!) notifies and blinks missed calls.
How to use
0) Always do nandroid backups! You can just restore the system image if anything goes wrong.
1) You'll need to know whether your ROM version 360 is deodexed or not. If you don't, then most often it's the odexed stock ones. Grab the correct update patch in the attachments.
2) My Streak is rooted. But there is no requirements for root privileges on the updates. So I think it should work on non-rooted phone. Hopefully.
3) Clear /data/dalvik-cache contents before flashing. Sometimes it needs clearing, but sometimes it don't
4) Boot into StreakMod and flash the proper Update.zip package.
5) Restart. As usual, on deodexed systems, replacing files will cause some longer boot time as the update is odex-ed during the boot process. Be patience.
6) Lock the screen, let the screen timeout, or whatever.
7) Get notified on any notification icons and missed calls
8) Congrats! You can now busy playing with your (better) other phones and keep Streak laying on the desk without even touching it!
Features
+ Blinking keypad backlight notification for any applications that provides notifications with icon when the screen is turned off.
+ Missed call notifications, too.
+ One-press power button to clear blinks. You can use any of the three capacitive button, also. Cool!
+ Blinking is disabled when ringer is in vibrate mode. Useful when Streak is in your pocket and blinking it would be useless.
+ Automatically disables blinking when charger is plugged in, after 8:00 PM and before 4:00 AM. Useful when you wanted to hibernate, together with your phone, you phone!
It should be able to be re-enabled manually through notification icon, but unfortunately the feature isn't working (yet!)
TODOs and glitches
- LCD blinks before the first blink, and keeps awake -- albeit with zero brightness -- while blinking. Cannot solve without custom kernel (or custom drivers?)
- Tapping the notification for "Button blinking disabled" does not clears the notification nor re-enable blinking.
Somehow I can't capture the Intent sent from NotificationManagerService itself. Oh well, probably will be important for people who works midnight and slept in the afternoon!
- Inconsistent behaviour on clearing missed calls notification and other notification types.
If you did not answer call while LCD screen is on, next lock screen will cause missed calls notifications blinking. The notification on the status bar had to be cleared before locking the screen.
- It is not known how much battery drain does leaving the phone blinking all the time costs!
- Can't imagine doing all over again on this on Galaxy Note. Maybe I'll just skip that!
Happy blinking!

Hi,
Will be trying Fards' and DJ_Steve's latest GingerStreak 2.4 later tonight. There seems to be very positive response on the system stability on the release.
I wouldn't mind having my own Gingerbread build for that kernel including the feature. If so, I would plan to extend with additonal Settings for Gingerbread that gives you more control on the blinks
I am also thinking of another possibility to run Gingerbread on Streak, but will check their latest release to see whether it's stable enough for production uses.
Will check them after trying GingerStreak 2.4
Cheers
UPDATE: Flashed GingerStreak 2.4 and it is indeed very promising. There might be something on the pipeline though, as stated on the wallpaper

Well there are some reasons why I'm not keen to use the StreakLED:
1) I don't like to have a service hanging around wasting my RAM for something that should've (and is, actually) been built into the system.
2) The modification for Blinking Button notification works of framework level and hijacks all notifications. Any app that attempts to show notification on the status bar will be blinked
But I've just re-read StreakLED's entire thread and thinking. Probably it would be good to have a LED that stays lit instead of blinking to get better power saving, after blinking for sometimes, say 1 hours.
The unresolved problem seems to be the way to just "wakeup" the backlight buttons instead of the entire LCD screen. If anyone knows how to wakeup just the backlight buttons, then power problems should be solved. Haven't got luck with writing "power:blablabla:wakeup" on /sys/leds/button-backlight/power/wakeup.
Looking forward to see the beta on GB

Yes I know (I did accidentally during testing it. It seems like a harmless bug in the backlight driver), but it's for keeping the button backlight lit during screen off.
But why would you want led on all the time with screen on? We are going to let backlight stay lit after an hour to preserve lcd power?

I agreed with you. It's not very distracting though, but it's a good idea, though it had to come with settings in which you can enable/disable. Will post back once I findout how to modify the behaviour.

I agree. It would be great if there was an option to disable the screen from turning on. The L.E.D. Notification is great but if you had an option to keep the screen off this mod would be perfect.

if it could light the buttons up for a notification and not the screen, and have a side option to keep the buttons lit all the time while the screen is unlocked that would be awesome
It has potential but as of now I went back to streak led. On my device it seems that screen stays on for ever. Also when you make a call the screen would turn on and stay on regardless of proximity sensor because there is a notification in the notification bar while talking. Just letting you know. Thanks for your involvement in development.

Ok simple question me thinks
If I am not near my phone and a text or a call has come through is there any app out there that will alert me that there is an unread message or missed call other than having to pick up the phone and see?
Yeah get a message tone when it comes in but if I am not near my phone may not know till later ?
On the old Nokia's I had it had a small light flashing to remind you

Dude, this is a very common topic, a search would have yielded the answers you are looking for.
You have two options. 1. BLN, and 2. NoLED.

3. Vibration Notifier.
4 - Missed Message Flasher (free and donate versions available on the market)
LOL. Ok, more than two.
BLN is pretty bad for the battery without the pro version as it keeps the phone awake to flash the backlight keys (With pro version you can set it to timeout and thus let the phone sleep)
NoLED is even worse as it powers up the screen.
In general, SAMSUNG WHY U NO GIVE US LED?

After going from NoLED to BLN, I actually ended up going back to NoLED, for the following reasons:
1. NoLED has an option to time out the notification as well; I have mine set to time out after 30 min.
2. NoLED has an option to utilize the proximity sensor to turn off the screen (and thus the notification) if the phone's proximity sensor is being tripped, such as being in your pocket or face-down.
3. NoLED has the advantage of displaying exactly what the notification is with an icon, whereas BLN only lights up or flashes the capacitive buttons, which doesn't give you an indication as to WHAT the notification is.
I currently have my phone set up with NoLED, Siyah Kernel 2.6.4, and Green Power Premium (set to turn off data with the screen off; and during the day only turn it on once every 15 min if the screen's off, and at night, leave data off while I'm asleep and the screen's off), and I most recently got about a day and a half of power off one charge with moderate usage. (screen on time of about 3.5 hours)
Thanks for the suggestions
I know now that there are apps on the market and note to self search first then post
I am noticing some problems with my s3 after the official jellybean update. It feels like it has been rushed to the phone. For example it doesn't have the quick reply feature in the notification window. It does for missed calls but not for messages. This is one the most anticipated features for me. Also when watching you tube and you don't want the screen to rotate it now does. I want to lock the rotation so I only get the small video at the top when my phone is on its side. It worked before jellybean update. Also auto brightness has changed. When auto brightness is selected you can manually turn it up with the slider in the notification window and it disables auto brightness and changes to what you set on the slider. Now on jellybean you have to uncheck the auto brightness box and then slide. Little features like this are starting to make me feel like it has been a massive rush to get jellybean on to the s3 which is ironic seen as though it took long enough. I have the international i9300 model s3. Is anybody else noticing the problems I have stated? Does anybody know a way of changing/getting the features? Thanks.
They were definitely to busy with the Note II, I mean come on at least give their flag ship the same/some of the features that a bigger version of the S3 has... That sexy multitasking should have been on the initial jelly bean update.

I know what you mean. The note got great features like the multi window. Apparently that's coming before the new year but I highly doubt that. Are you noticing the same problems I am? Another problem I found is when screen goes off after inactivity you used to be able to press the home button a moment after it goes off and it would turn the screen back on leaving you at the page you was. Now the home button takes you back to the home when you press it. It's annoying you have to go back to the app.

Me too, my problem is the battery with jb lj4
I think there is a few little niggles but overal its pretty much the same.
The autobrightness don't disable automatically now when you adjust the slider as you can now actually adjust the autobrightness brightness, Not sure why though.
Google Now - leaving it active at the mo, but not really found any usefullness from it as yet. The Time home feature is ok, would be good if it actually showed the route I take home - Via motorway, rather than the route through city center which i don't take!!
The new notifcation bar - its ok, nothing major. Expect a bit of all these features will improve over time as well once apps get proper updates. Some work but don't have full functionally - Songpop has no notifications now for example.
Battery Life - I did find that my normal phone use on ISC which included about 50/60 mins worth of calls etc wi-fi left on all the time but only actually connected to wi-fi at home (just 2G & 3G at work) i would have about 55/60% battery life left by the time i got home from work, on Jelly Bean - with the same useage i had about 40/45% left. I am now back to the same as before on ISC, but i didn't disable google now or anything just turned Wi-Fi off when left home and turn it back on when home - results was 55/60% battery remaining a as on ISC. Seems that the Wi-Fi drains when not connected - either it keeps on searching which it might not of done on ISC or its the Google Now doing something (Does say improve location by keeping wifi on - does this even if not connected!!) - Least this way i can still use google now and see how it improves its tags overtime.
I am now using a App called WiFi Timer to automatically switch Wifi on and off when i leave/get home.
Love that it now has voice downloaded so you can text etc with no data connection - find its more accurate now as well!
Never had the small vids on Youtube when rotated phone so not sure about that. Take it disabling autorotate doesn't do this?
Good and Bad
My experience is as follows:
Good:
Sheer speed, no perceivable lag.
A problem I had with only half the SMS notification tone being played (before it cut off) has gone away.
Bad:
Battery drain terrible even when idle. Turning off Google Now, Location Services and Samsung Push Notification fixed this.
When I activate Smart Stay, the screen does not want to turn off 80% of the time - even when I'm not looking at it.
When I wake the phone using the home key, it exits the app I was in. Previously, this would wake the device and return you to the current app (after unlocking). I have a partial work around using the PreHome app; this way the app is still visible underneath the PreHome dialogue box and I just need to press Back to get to my app again.
Widgets, seem to refresh less regularly, particularly Messaging and Gmail widgets which seem to hardly even refresh when I want them too.
Of No Consequence:
The red charging led is a little dimmer when charging.
Overall:
The speed benefits outweigh the niggles - just!

Yep i know, but this app is far better as it lets you setup different profiles for mornings, evenings & weekends etc which the inbuilt one don't. :good:
root?
i may just root my phone as i really am not happy with this jellybean update, nothing has really improved for me, if i root it and install a rom like codename all the features like quick reply would be there right?
I'm close to having the phone perfect but these two still persist. There is a myriad of old options for Xposed and I was wondering if anyone has had success with any of them? I use the phone for a GPS unit on a cycle with a dynamo hub, so the waking up is annoying.
I've sorted the sound already, so there are two wake up conditions:-
1. power is enabled
2. battery reaches 100%.

Hi Andrew,
I can't help with Xposed, but I have a suggestion and a side question.
My suggestion : try IpBike (with IpBikeKey to unlock it).
The author of IpBike reads and answers e-mails. He is opened to new features if the idea is good.
If IpBike can't force the screen off (I never tested, as I don't charge my device as I cycle !), he may add the feature.
My question : is the PVG100 ANT+ capable ?
I use a Sony-Ericsson Xperia Active as a cycle computer (powered by IpBike), with ANT+ Speed, Cadence and Heart-rate sensors.
I would like to replace it with a PVG100E/EU, but the ANT directory does not list any Palm device.
Have a nice day !
Cobus.
Probably not, ANT is an extra cost for a manufacturer.
I found an open-source app which works. It's a bit old but still it does the job.
Basically it registers itself as an admin app so it can control the screen, then when a wakeup comes in it turns the screen back off. It's quick enough that the screen doesn't get a chance to come on. No root required.

1. power is enabled
2. battery reaches 100%.
Cheers, Andrew

Have you tried enabling "zen mode?" Zen mode keeps everything on the phone from waking I believe. I have tried it, but got annoyed when the wifi would cut out once I turned my screen off, because it would stop what I was listening to. Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but zen mode might be something to play around with.
To activate zen mode, the easiest way is probably through the app "setedit." Under "system" options, scroll to the bottom and change zen mode from 0 to 1.
