NOTE:
- Support's ICS as per feedback. Please report if any issue.
-Sms Feature now works even when screen is on, but to turn it off we need to read that messages n not just by clearing the notification. [ if the screen is off and a new sms arrives the flash will stop when the screen is turned on.This will help to save battery ]
-Alarm flash works for all default alarms set [Note for ICS n few phones the flash will turn off when u dismiss it[ those who have deskclock.apk] for others when u turn off ur screen the flash will stop. Will Improve it soon.

This is just to let XPS, XPU, XPP user know about it. I have only tested the incoming call Led and sms Led on XPS.
ATTENTION: Changing the blink rate on the Xperia NXT series might not work and cause issues like: Force close, freeze phone, freeze LED
If you like this app, thank faiyyaz :good: and don't forget to put your sun glasses on
For, more info, changelogs and dev support etc. see original thread
faiyyaz is still working on this app and will comes with updates

Blink rate can be adjusted
You might think WTF!? but still some people seem to like it. I must say the flash looks really nice on the XPS
This is more to show off i think because it can only be seen when you pick up your phone out of your pocket.

Hi, every one.
My ray has update to 4.0.4, but I have a problem in 4.0.4.
When my phone's screen turn off, and the phone receive a new message, the phone's notification LED can not turn on. If I change my phone back to 4.0.3 or lower, the notification LED is OK.
One thing which is worthy to mention is that if my phone's screen is turn on, although its screen is locked, when the phone receive a new message, the phone's notification LED will turn on and become green. If I ignore it untill the screen turn off, the notification LED will keep the green light.
When the phone have a Missed calls, the notification LED is OK although when the screen is turn off.
So, could you help me to solve this problem
Thanks very much.
It's a known issue. Haven't read of any fix for that on the forum.

Thanks a lot ,I got it ,it works fine...
I am using RayOnium v.6.2 with Sirkay and my LED is working well, maybe CyberNeo fixed this in his ROM.
Just install it, setup to 5 sec awake
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.schwimmer.android.smsawake
does this have notification light for SMS? like many ICS upgraders are complaining that LED doesnt blink for SMS!
Yes, it does!
It helps to wakeup phone for a few seconds, and led notification (stock/standard function) is sart working.
But why do we have to fix .
What a massive company called sony cant be ass to fix .
On there forums therr know the bugs now . The update should be out now and fix it all
It is not a fatal bug, it will be fixed in the next release
There other bugs . Aswell .i stick to gb till all is fixed
Works with Go SMS Pro too. Thanks...

It's not working for me.
I'm using go sms pro and I've removed conversations.apk
It doesn't work for me! In fact, it does nothing at all! It doesn't even wake the screen like it should when I receive an SMS!
From my own experiance with companys ICS for 2011 will never be polished from sony side cause they need to sell 2012 models and this is a good way to do it why......
They rollout buged ics thats not working and buging customers > they cant downgrade officialy > and they buy a new phone.
In the end they put a mayor marketing on the new phones and the 2011 bugs are forgoten.
Its not a nuclear science.

Most third-party SMS apps require Conversations.apk to be kept in the system folder.

You forgot that if sony put or leave existing bugs deliberately on 2011 devices less people will buy sony's 2012 phones.So how is that beneficial for sony?
This is not a solution! This is just a way to drain battery faster!

You mean since the screen/ backlight is turned which is the nature of this app? As well as the ramping up of the cpu while waking up
It would be nice if there is empirical data to know how much power is lost because of this
But how low can smsawake be set to light up the screen? Can we go lower than 5 sec and will it still activate the LED?

Ive done some testing with the fix that worked/half worked posted by till-kruspe and the screen only needed to be on for a sec while the sms was received. So naturally having this app screen on for a sec instead of 5 will save battery compared to 5 sec, but the fact is the screen has to still turn on, when it shouldn't have to be. This is a real battery waster when you compare it to if the led was working correctly and the screen didn't need to come on.
Just my input,
Cheers,
Evil.
Just wanted to notify you guys on LED issue. I am using Stock WORLD ROM, and te notification LED works perfect for messages,calls,emails, facebook..blablabla
Coolbuy do you have rooted ICS or not? I'm using handcent sms and it does have exactly same option as this little tool, but led is blinking only when display is lit. When LCD goes off LED stops blinking.
This also works well with GO SMS. : (
Not for me. I'm just installing plain ICM (without any roots, CWM's etc.) and will check it works.
UPDATE: Checked it and it's not working. Returned to GB and everything is working perfectly. Have to wait until ICS will have most issues solved. At the moment GB appears better for me.
Hi,
I created an app that will let an Xperia S/P/U light up the illumination bar when there is an unread SMS or a missed call.
Available at Google Play if you search for "Illumination Bar Notification"
link
For U model there is multi color support, and for S/P there is only the one color supported by the hardware.
The LEDs can either blink at various speeds or have a constant light.
There is an option to stop the light when the screen is unlocked or keep blinking until the SMS has been read or the call has been acknowledged.
I have only an Xperia U to develop on, but it has been tried on S/P as well.
If you have any problems let me know and I'll try to fix it.
Thanks to user sl1nk3 that figured out there was an API we can use.
-------------
*** Running on custom ROMs ***
If you run CyanogenMod or other firmware not from sony you may need to install additional libraries for this app to work.
First option: IlluminationReceiver
This solution works for all devices with illumination bar (S/P/U/SP) and does not require any sony libs at all:

This is just what I've been waiting for. Thanks a lot! Will try it now
Edit. Working great! In a future update, could you add the feature to disable it after a pre-set time? Believe it will drain battery after some time

This is nice. Could you make it blink? and can you make it for email as well?
Thanks very much.
Good man I was waiting on an app like this.
edit:
can you add an option to leave the illumination light always on when the screen is on. I like to have it on when it is dark so that I can see where the buttons are. Thanks
only white colour :-(

It has option to blink already.
There is no standard android way for apps to be notified for incoming e-mails, so adding e-mail support would likely mean having to implement a full e-mail client.
Maybe there is another way, but not that I know of.

That is probably doable, but I think it would be best to have that in its own app, since it is not related to notifications
Dude!!! I'm Not Gay, But I LOVE YOU!!! U Gave The Proper Meaning Of Sony's This STYLE ICON!!!
These are the things I would like to have for future update!!!
1-Stop the blinking after certain time period (for battery backup)
2-Notification for
A-CHARGE COMPLETE (as this wont drain the battery,and keep it cool)
B-Whatsapp notification
3-Please change the icon of this app (add a cool one for this cool phone)
4-Low rate of blinking should be much lower I think (like each blink after 5 sec)
5-If its possible blink in different style (disco,rhythmic...etc)
THANK YOU AGAIN, I REALLY LOVE TO SEE THIS IS INSTALLED WITHOUT MODDING OR ROOTING MY PHONE!!!
THANK YOU!!!
The app is pretty buggy for me.
sometimes it works "lighting up" but sometimes it doesnt even light up and instead it makes my screen lights up -.-
i like it when my screen is pitch black when i receive something.
please fix and will reconsider downloading.
thankyou
I would love to see the source code for this if you would like to release it. I had been working on a version of it myself, but I only just started android programming.
Also if you need a cool icon I can make you one. PM me
id just figured out whats the bug is.
1) a- it doesnt light up when you check "stop light when screen is unlocked"
the screen goes on and the led strip stops flashing.
b- and sometimes it doesnt light up until the second msg comes in or calls
c- overtime when just received a text or two the screen turns on as well as the led strip lights up, then somehow the screen turns on like every 10 secs or so. (not receiving anything)
2) like i said before please make the screen stay off when receiving any notifications. my screen goes on after i installed this app.
3) please include whatsapp and email for it.
thankyou really appreciate your work here. well done
Oh looks so great!, i thank you for this kind of worf as other request i dont want integration with other apps, just that the led stops blinking after a certain time
Looks great, but as the notification bar isn't very bright I would also like to see the notification LED continuing to blink as well.
Also, would be great if emails can be included.
Thx man, continue to develop it for more stuff (not only msg, and calls).
I will consider some donation then ;-)

Not sure why but it does nothing until I unlock the screen.

Thanks for this! Works great!
Great app man!!
In the future, could it be possible to have custom flash rate? I think even the "slow" setting is quite fast.
Suprised this feature was left out at launch. But thankyou for this app!
Works great!
sent from my Xperia S
Great app! Really something that should have been there from the start!
What I would like to change are the following:
* no screen turn on when you receive an sms or call
* email support (for some)
* timeout - after the timeout it would switch to the notification led it's using now.
I'm not sure yet, but does the low battery standard notification still work? Or do you have to turn it off completly for this to work?
In a way a really like to think that this should only be used for calls, messages and emails.. maybe even not emails.. It should diferentiate itself from other notifications.. so this could only be used for those that you have to instanlty reply.. like messages and calls.. But I would still use the blue notifications for facebook, green for emails and red/orange for low battery. I think that this is how both things should work together.
Really great, light and cool app!!
But like some guys, my screen turn on when I receive an SMS
Moreover, sometimes the vibrations bugs: normaly, it's like "brrrrr, brrrrr" but sometimes I have "brr..." so in my pocket, it's not really noticiable
Hello guys,
two (I hope) little problems. I installed "KingKang Rom Unofficial Source Build" yesterday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007132
At the moment everything works fine beside two problems:
- The clock on the top right is one hour off
Yeah, the clock is one hour behind the real time. But only in this clock. The clock widget, the clock on lockscreen and the clock in the clock settings are working fine. Any chance to (manually) change this? Probably it thinks it's in summer time?!
- The notification LED is off
No light for notifications or charging. Could be the Kernel (Buttered Toast with captive backlight off), but I thought it only desables the light of the buttons. Haven't seen an option in the settings yet.
Probably someone knows how to fix it. Anyhow I will change the kernel with backlight on and probably flash the ROM over a second time, when I get home.
Any help appreciated
cya,
MChief
Hello, I see your having some issues with Kingkang rom. The clock is off by an hour? OK have you set the correct time zone in date/ time settings? That happens to me sometimes when I flash Mazda's aokp jb ROMs. As for notification light, have you tried enabling in led under rom control? The capavative lights have nothing to do with led lights. Buttered toast kernel works fine for me. FYI I know your new here, and you aren't able to post in development yet( perspectively in kingkang thread) you need at least ten posts to post there. My suggestion is to go in general section and get in a couple discussions about something to build your count up so you can post in development.

Like you can see on my "join date" I'm not really new, but it's hard for me to write on other topics
Like I said, the other clocks are working perfect with correct time/zone etc. like it is chosen in settings. Only then "main" clock doesn't want to...
There is a LED Control option in the settings, but when the light in the app picture goes on, the LED of my phone doesn't. I also changed the setting there to see if it will overwright something.
Yes, maybe I should join a few conversations to ask the devs directly. THX for the answer
I use light flow lite from the play store to control my led lights notifications, you may also have an issue with no control over screen brightness, use rootdim
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
Ok, so after a reboot (sadly one i didn't want to do...) the clock is working as it should.
BUT yesterday I installed light flow, but didn't get the LED to work. This morning I THINK I got it working by enabling "icd backlight LED".
State at the moment: When I want to unlock the screen it goes on for a second and then goes totally black like in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20012996
Don't know where "s6e8aa0 control" is...
And the capavative lights like to go on and never go off. Only a reboot helps here. Also produced by light flow.
Now I deinstalled light flow
So after installing the full version of light flow and playing with the sttings I got it to work at the first try.
It's now with HTC compability mode and without the "icd backlight LED".
Probably also the update to the newest buttered toast kernel and setting the min. Mhz from 1** to 3**. I will test that.
Well I'm glad you got it to work
Ok, it's also working with 1** Mhz. So it was the "icd backlight LED".
Light Flow isn't working how i would like it. I only want the normal notifications...
Hi everyone,
I found a great app that can blink LED when you get whatsapp/sms/incoming call notifications. Link is below. It works fine, is very much customizable. however it does cause force close once in 2 days or so. The dev might not support this project further, can anyone fix the fcs if possible?
Also, the whatsapp function does not support devices like xperia arc. Is it fixable?
Thanks, enjoy
