I'm glad we have a notification LED on the GS3, but I'm looking for something that will let us assign colors to different notifications, as well as let us control the blinking intervals. I looked at Lighflow's LED controller app, but it currently doesn't support the GS3. Any suggestions for another app? Paid or Free.
None work with blinking currently ... bug in driver it something. Also colors are wrong in all. Red is always always on no matter what rgb color code us passed to the Api.
Best I found to use is blink at least it let's you name the colors correctly that can be used on our phones.

^This. But, ultimately, our phone is screwy with LED notifications.
Lightflow works depending on the rom. no problems for me on stock

Does anyone know of an app that lets you change the color of the notification lights for specific kinds of messages, wether it be for an email or text or whatnot. There is a app called blink....but it doesnt work on my phone.

I want to say that those don't work for our phone. Can't change the LED for GoSMS either.
I think the Rezound only does two colors which are amber and green

bummer, thanks tho
You could check out Light Flow, it allows you to change the color for different notifications. It'll list the available colors you can change, but if the Rezound is anything like the Incredible, you only get three colors, which are green, orange, and deep orange.
I just bought light flow once I heard its been updated for Jelly Bean. I'm running CM10 on my GS III and set up all my notifications. However even when I don't have any notifications my phone shows this dim green light. I've checked all my settings in light flow and have no idea whats causing this. Any ideas?

From the developers website...
" As many will probably know the hardware in the US S3 is different. Dual code compared to Quad and some variants with LTE.
Not only is the processor and radio hardware different but controlling of the LEDs is also different. At the moment the US S3 seems to have its color matrix mixed up, so issuing a code of Red will come out a totally different color. Putting out the color black (which we use when there's no notifications) causes the phone to display green."

Me too. When I saw it was updated, I was hoping it would work with the S3 but no dice. Most of the lights I set up would not work at all. And none of them would flash, just stay on constantly.
Although initially i was happy to know sg3 come with notification led, not anymore. There is something non standard about led notification in US phones which is making it not play nicely with many third party apps including light flow. It properly works only with stock dialer, stock email and messaging. Couldn't get it to work properly with k9 mail, google voice, good messaging, facebook app or anything else i use!

In CM10 you can change the led color without a 3rd party app, go to Settings > Display > Notification light > and you will see default where you can pick you LED color.
The developer of that app has an AT&T GSIII on the way to him he purchased to resolve this problem. It shouldn't be long.
Does anyone know if down the road we will have more control over either of the lights?
I tried using light flow and it doesn't seem to work very well. I don't expect more color options but if I could just get the front light to stay solid rather than flash I'd be very happy.
Anyone have any ideas?

I don't see why they don't just give us three LEDs for full rainbow options. My old Blackberry did. Facebook notification could be blue, green for texts, red for gmail, etc. I would look for additional apps that control the LED and maybe you'll find something that works. I don't have any sugggestions unfortunately.

if i wasn't told about the front LED, i wouldn't have even noticed it was there.

Just bought (and about to return) the HTC One M8 because the LED notifier/blinker is a shocker. It is very small, only has Red, Green and Blue (!!) and no apps like LED notifier can manipulate it.
My old S3 was great and had a lovely big LED blinker but am considering the Z2 as I fancy a change. Can someone please reassure me that the LED is big, has all the colours and will work with an LED app?
Thanks.
Or maybe an S5...
I'm not sure but I think the Z2's LED can only display green and red, I hope I'm wrong

I have orange and blue also but have not figured out a way to assign a specific color to a specific type of notifications (like blue for SMS, Orange for email...).

You should be able to change it with an app. Try out Light Manager? Some of the changes require root, but not all.
I've tested out mine via the test menu. It's able to output R,G,B there. It would make sense that it is possible for the phone to mix those colours to display other colours (like the orange and purple that some system events use) but I've been unable to get it to show using LightFlow.
I see a lot more colors than R,G,B on my z1 and zl (purple from yahoo mail, white from gmail for example). So there is no reason z2 notifier will output only those three colors
Could someone be so kind as to test it with LED Manager or Light Flow? It's really simple. Select the app, the colour and then test it. Appreciate any that could this. About to buy but need all the colours!

There's blue for sure. Seen in many videos. There's no yellow?
But yes, its quite large. Another thing I love about the Z2. Its the second largest in current flagships after Oppo Find 7.

There are LEDs for each of the 3 primary colours (red, green and blue) and those are mixed in different intensities to show other colours. :cyclops:

i've been trying lightflow for hrs.
can have many colours. but still sony light overwrites it.
if i turn off sony light aka default notification light, lightflow will not work.

Really appreciate you doing this. I'm afraid that rules the Z2 out for me then which is a shame as I fancied a change. S5 it is then.
Using WhatsApp, the LED was able to display the notifications in different colours. So far I have used yellow, green, cyan and purple.

CYAN <3 Sorry, but I just had to do this.
The Z2 indeed can display other colours etc like Pink/Yellow/Orange/Lime etc etc..
Tested using Lightflow.
Only down is, you can't use it together with the "Extended Standby" feature with STAMINA mode as that will disable any fiddling with the LED notification.
Yup.. I'm using LightFlow. Works well.. I got blue for SMSes, red for miss calls, green for whatsapp and purple for viber.
The LED is nice and big enough for viewing... however it sits below the level of the front glass, right where the top speaker slit is. If your phone faces you parallelly, you'll be seeing the LED well enough. If you have your phone lying on your desk in front of you and when you are looking at the face of the phone at an angle, you might just miss it.
Cheers.
i thought the sony default light will overwrites the lightflow?
Hmm.. perhaps since LightFlow is turned ON under accessibility settings, it works?
i just tick every box in the settings... it seems to work.
I will be using the SCR10 style case when I get the phone - looking at the front flap of the case and the phone, I am guessing the LED notification should be visible with the case closed?
I seem unable to get Lightflow working. Anyone having success? (I'm not rooted).
If so, can you share what all you had to do to get it going?
I use light manager, and it works as promised, I am also not rooted. (SD). I haven't tried light flow, but I can confirm light manager works with most of the colors

I'm using Lightflow and it's working as usual for me. Didn't have to do anything special to make it work.
Thanks for the input guys.
Turns out that me LED indicator setting under was turned off. I believe i dud that SetdudLdudevice on initial setup, thinking i was turning off charging LEDs, and that LF had its own control.
I'm good to go now, and feeling a bit embarrassed ...
Anyone else having problems with the LED being shut off after notifications are dismissed? I have all my Light Flow notifications set to stop after I clear the notification from the notification bar. But it's not working. I'll try contacted the developer.
Weird, not had that one.
But I have noticed several problems with Lightflow. I have contacted the developer, but no respose as of yet.
With Lightflow, things I've noticed is:
1) When added a new Notification, if you test it, the LED colour does not match the one you've selected. But it'll still work for the notification.
2) Colours in the Cyan range don't seem to be replicated corretly - but I don't think that's to do with lightflow. One my phone (SM-910F in black) there's a fine, wire mesh kind of pattern over the surface of the phone, which covers the LED. Seems to distort what colour comes out.
If I look really closely, I can see a hint of the correct colour if that makes sense. Not sure how a developer could sort that out, as the program is probably working correctly.
Pretty much Sea Green, turqoise, teal, light green all seem to come out as Light blue. Even using the hex manually still results in this. Same with Light manager too. Really really annoying!
Of course it could just me my old eyes playing tricks one me!
3) Sleep mode doesn't quite work properly. If you set it to disable vribrate only, and leave everything else on, it disables everything, not just vibrate. A small issue, but hey, I'd like to use the feature.
Apart from that, it works perfectly. So nice not to have to switch on accesability to get it to work
