[Q] Disable notification LED whilst charging? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

I have my phone by my bed, and now I have this cool home made dock so i can use my phone as an alarm clock/night clock whilst charging.
BUT THAT ORANGE/GREEN LIGHT IS BUGGING ME
Yes I have searched both here and google to no avail.
However i did come across this script but its only for 2.1
Code:
#! /system/bin/sh
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/lv5219lg:rgb1:red/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/lv5219lg:rgb1:green/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/lv5219lg:rgb1:blue/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/lv5219lg:sled/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/lv5219lg:rgb1:red/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/lv5219lg:rgb1:green/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/lv5219lg:rgb1:blue/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/lv5219lg:sled/brightness
Currently using GingerDX v17 on my x10 mini pro with stock kernel cool:Thanks devs you rock)
Any help with this would be appreciated
P.S.
I could just put some bluetack or tape over the LED but that is just silly, please don't make a suggestion like that

Hey bro, under cyanogen settings, gingerDX setting there should be a setting called quiet hours, try enable that, Ive never tried it so i don't know if it works for the led while charging, or if it just stops the led flashing when a txt shows up.
BTW i wanted to ask, whats the dock you got, i wouldn't mind getting one for my mini pro?
Hope i helped, good-luck.
Cheers,
Evil.

The gingerdx version disables LED, but its buggy and disables it permamently even outside the specified times. The cyanogen version only disables sounds/vibrations but doesnt dim the LED even if the option is ticked, it seems as though you cant win I just resort to placing my phone face down so I cant see it.

Cheers guys ill try that out.
I was kinda hoping that there would be some kind of script or app or even modifying some system files, however I do find the notifications handy so i think that there might be one of the major issues.

As I said its a home made dock so you wont be able to buy it anywhere except from me lol, when I've finished touching it up (and can post links) ill throw up some pics along with my dual battery mod.
To be honest I'm not actually sure if you can get a dock for the mini pro although I haven't looked so I'm probably wrong.

Yeah I have been doing that for sometime now but it seems to defeat the purpose of having a dock.

Oh right home made lol, thats cool, didnt read the home made part. I might have a look around for one. Goodluck finding what you need. Hopefully the devs of gingerdx and other roms will be able to figure something out for us. I might also have a look into it and see if i can figure it out, using my extremely limited knowledge .
@obsidian, Right, cheers for that info bro, didnt realize that it was buggy.
Cheers,

Hello! I've recently read an article on Android Police that mentions an app called LEDs Hack that supposedly disables the LED notification system. I haven't tested it and don't know if it will work.
Here is the link to the article: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/01/11/top-android-apps-every-rooted-user-should-know-about-part-2-apps-9-16/

I actually found a copy of the app and gave it a shot, sadly I couldn't get it to work. Maybe I did something wrong so here's the link so someone else can try it.

Ill try it out, what rom and kernel are you using just incase its the same i wont bother lol
Cheers,

I was using GingerDX v17 with stock kernel, tried all of the phones listed in the app however I didn't reboot each and every time.
I think it depends on how it disables the LED as all phones are different. I have a feeling that this LED is going to be a hard/weird one to turn off

I saw in the market that the developper included this app into a new paid one called Bedside (Night Clock) with call monitoring features and in the description he mentions:
** 2nd NOTICE: Some devices do not support turning off the button LEDs. Bedside uses official APIs to do this and if your device does not turn off the LEDs when opening Bedside blame the manufacturer and/or the ROM you are using. (Devices include: Galaxy S phones, Nexus S, some Motorola devices, etc) **
I guess our phone must be one of those.

Ah I see, I didn't realise he intergrated it into another app, I guess Ill have to try that one out as well.
And yeah I wouldn't be at all surprised if the mini pro isn't supported, or if it isn't even possible. Although surely a custom kernel could help with a bit developing and modding... damn I wish I was an android expert sometimes lol.

Guys, I've tried the LEDs Hack app version you have posted and it is working for me. I am running stock ron on 2.1.1.A.0.6 build with the latest busybox installed from the market. I installed the app and then rebooted the phone. In the app I chose the Sprint HTC Hero (Android 2.2) phone model and then option LEDs off.

If it turns out it works on your phone, I think the new app would be what you are looking for, because you can choose what calls and notifications get through normally.

You would think that there are more people out there than just us who want this?? Wonder why it hasn't been addressed yet.

Well if its working on the stock rom then I guess its a problem with the custom roms, or maybe just the fact that the custom rom i tried was gingerbread, which means ill have to try a froyo rom, Froyobread to be precise. I cant even remember the last time i used the stock rom lol.

My thoughts exactly, but I guess a little annoying led isn't important to some people, personally I thought it would be a reasonably easy fix or workaround but I guess nothing worth doing is easy.

Surely it cant be that hard to find (yay for google) usually the issue is finding the latest version though, but don't worry guys if it works then ill buy it cause then it'll be worth it (I don't really want to buy an app that might not work you see, not a fan of wasting money )

Well you would think so but i guess not, and your right, nothing worth doing is ever easy.
