[APP] LED Control - Light Flow - Motorola Photon 4G

Looks like an interesting App for controlling your LED notifications. Try it out and report your findings!
Light Flow - LED Control

I used the lite version to test and it worked well. I purchased the full version and it gives you lot of additional options for custom alerts for many apps. I like it.

So does it work on the Photon? Since the Photon has the red, green, blue and white LEDs can you make the app mix them to make other colors? That will be interesting!

This app is terrific. Reminds me of the trackball notification colors on my Nexus one... Just another thing that made the Nexus a great phone. And the Photon is also great phone...

I like this more for the sound notification control then of the actual light control. the led stuff is pretty cool though.
fyi for anyone trying to use this, you dont need direct access to test your notifications; just turn off the screen after you start the test.

neat app but doesn't work for what i want - which is to see a red light when my battery is charging and a blue light when it's fully charged.
when i plug in phone to charger, there are no lights

I have a feeling that this is a limitation of the ROM which Motorola put on the phone because the LED works when it is charging in 'OFF' Mode, Power off and plug in charger it semi-boots.

Yes just what I was looking for

Funny thing is that that feature only works when the phone is powered off.

LED colors
I have made a chart of the LED colors that the different settings in Light Flow output. Several of the color settings in Light Flow look similar on the LED. It is hard to get the color of the photograph to look true to the color output, so these are blurry, but fairly close to the actual color.
Blue, Red, and Green are unique.
Bright Pink, Indigo, Magenta, and Purple all output the same. I would call this color Magenta
Cyan, Sky Blue, and Turquoise are the same. It looks Cyan to me
Deep Orange, Gold, Lime (huh?), Orange, and yellow look the same. Basically Orange
Lilac, Pink, and White look the same. This is a pink color
Hope this helps you set up your notifications.

Thanks for posting up that chart. It's really useful to me (I'm the dev of lightflow)
Those colors don't quite look the same as on a Nexus One (which is my main development phone), so it's interesting to see how the photon represents them.
I think I'd agree with sandtiger about the rom not allowing charging on the colors. The app does set this information (and it works on other phones), but not the latest motorola phones.
If you've any questions or requests about the app, just post here and I'll try to respond.

If anyone can get any different looking colors out they would like from the app "led color tester" by coolbeans then give me a shout and I'll try and add them in.
Note if you've got lightflow on your phone you'll need to uninstall lightflow first for led color tester to work as lightflow will override the notification and it won't work.
Hopefully at some point I'll get around to adding an RGB custom option - I did have one in dev, but it kept leaking memory and crashing for some reason.
