Hey guys,
I've searched XDA/google and tinkered with my S3 but cannot change the indicator lights colors. They default to blue for notifications. I remember being able to change the colors on my HTC G1 and was wondering if anyone knew how to do this on the Galaxy 3?
Thank you.
Theres an app for that
Check out lightflow (though there are still some bugs that need to be worked out for the SGS3)

im using nook color 1.1 with stock android,
and i was wondering if there's is an app similar to redshift/f .lux that will work on the nook.
redshift is a Linux app that will give the monitor red tinge, to prevent sleep problems you get from working on your computer in the night.
f ./lux it the windows version of redshift.
edit:
i forgot to mention that i tried screen filter and total screen control but they don't do what i want

I have also been looking for a f.lux like app, but have yet to find anything. I think it would be great for reading.
Here's their website, if anyone is curious.

something that may aid us in getting the answer
well i started a question with bounty on it, with hope it will help getting an answer for that.

using an app in market called screen filter it allows u to dim the screen quite a bit for dim reading
i tried that, it dosen't do the thing i'm searching for,
the app suppose to give the screen a red tinge,
is there a way to do that somehow by editing the system files of the nook maybe?
cm6 has that feature, hopefully if cm7 gets ported then that feature will be avaiable also.
while not exactly what i wanted with couple of tweaks https://market.android.com/details?id=com.absurdsoft&feature=search_result
color filter service fits the the description

Very cool!
Thanks for sharing.
Anyone else think notification LED on alpha doesn't show proper color ?
(Red,Green,Blue work fine but if I use something like yellow color look like greenish yellow; purple become blueish)
My previous device (Galaxy S3) doesn't have that kind of problem.

I came from a Galaxy S3 aswell and yes, The LED colours on the alpha are a bit odd but it's nothing to worry about
I was wondering if anyone knew how to set specific led colors for specific contacts or apps?

Thanks for the reply, I've actually used this app before I didn't really like it. I was wondering if maybe there was a setting in the note 4 to change it? When I had a balckberry bold ages ago my favorite part was the light because you could change it to whatever you wanted. Thanks anyway though!

LightFlow used to be a great deal for me without root. If you are rooted, a better battery-friend option is Gravitybox (Xposed Module). Its paid version supports setting custom notifications for every app (LED only or vibration and ringer too).
Light Manager is my personal favorite with some in depth options
Anyone found a way to make it black or transparent or anything but white after the latest firmware update? I really hate the change and can't seem to find a solution. Hope someone can help. Thanks.

I have not gotten the latest update just yet, but I've heard about it, have you tried something like Navbar Apps?: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps
Yep it worked wonders before the update, but not on the home screen anymore. It still works in apps, but you need to set it to just before black. If it's black, it fails for some reason.

So am I understanding this correctly, it is no longer transparent on the homescreen?
Sadly no. It's white'ish . ?
Hmm, is the only apps you have installed being able to modify the navbar, navbar apps?
I read about the update, and to my understanding, the only big thing the changed was not letting users pick black, and immesive mode.
But thats shouldn't change the transparency of the navbar.. Actually you can't even change the transparency in the settings..

This has a fix if you're not opposed to a theme.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/theme-dark-default-t3597615
I have the german version, there is a point in settings:
- dock, dockhintergrund, Transparenz
which works fine.
should be - dock, background, transparency - in your version?
Is there anything we can use that would add to the native Ambient/Always-On Display a coloured blinking dot similar to the LED notification lights that previous devices had?

There's an app called notify buddy that you can try
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy
Having a notification like that on the AOD would most likely have to be baked into a custom ROM but it's a cool idea.

Yeah I was hoping more for something capable of hooking into Ambient Display itself. The description for this app explicitly says the first thing you do is "Disable Ambient Display and any battery optimisation for the app."
I wonder if something like a Magisk module could do this.

Try AOE from the play store. I have it set so the AOD only comes on when a notification comes in. I have the edge lighting set to the colour back as I use a black wallpaper for my lock screen. Or you can play with the coloured edge. Up to you.
Interesting, yes it looks like AOE can draw over Ambient Display. Requires a crap ton of permissions but it works!
I can't seem to get AOE to work on my phone, I have Android 11 installed any help please?

It's not a very intuitive app. But basically you have to walk through all the app menus and let it ask for all the different permissions it needs, before it will actually work on Ambient Display.
It's sad to admit but i don't get it. I activated all the permissions but only get the standard AOD.
Could anyone export his settings? That would be awesome...
Hi, I followed these instructions:
https://www.thecorrectblogger.com/2020/09/google-pixel-4a-notifications-led.html
These worked for me. I'm playing still around with some options, but if you follow the steps in the guide linked above it should work.

Thank you! That guide worked perfect. Any clue of the battery usage difference between ambient display vs this?
No, I have no clue. I've never used the "classic" ambient display. Battery in general is very good, but I'm not a power user. Usually the battery of my smartphones last about 1.5 to 2 days.
I'll currently monitoring the battery life of the Pixel. With my user profile it will last at least 1.5 days.
i try do get the ambient Display only to show up when notification arrives or Phone is charging.
have been playing around with Always on Edge app but it seems i can't get the settings right. the app realy isnt intuitive.
anyone can help how to set it up right?
greetings

Thank you!
I have turned on AoD and I find it a suitable alternative to the led. There are notification icons in the centre of the screen when a notification has gone off.
Settings -> Display -> Advanced -> Lock Screen
Always show time and info on.
Everything else is off.
I know some links here, they will be useful for sure!
