Any cm7 LED torch app?
What have you tried already?
Typically I use the Tesla LED flashlight and that doesn't seem to be working.
I would think that whatever works with the Nexus S should work with the Fascinate though I cannot confirm this.
I've tried
I've tried telsa led on my phone but that doesn't work. I know the led works cuz it works with the camera app as flash. I have tried downloading all the free flash light apps but non seem to work.
I seem to remember someplace in the not so distant past that someone had it built into the CM6 for use. Perhaps that could be done. For now I am not all that worried as JT is making incredible progress with the CM7 build he is working on.
I will poke around a little more myself before I call it one way or the other though.
Ive tried every single flashlight app I could find and none work. Its weird cuz the flashlight apps see the LED but when i turn it on it doesnt turn the LED on. I love the cm7 builds and this is the last thing I would love to have working. Thanks for your help so far tho!
I use devuni.flashlight works great.
norm883
That's the app I used on com rom 2.1. But threw cm7 it doesn't work. Norm883 does it work for you on the latest build of cm7
I just tried it & its a no-good for me on cm7.

Well it is good to know it's not just me or my phone. Hopefully when cm7 gets updated it will work this issue out. It's not a big deal but it is always nice to have a flashlight with you.
At the risk of being Captain Obvious here, if the LED function isn't working at the moment, most flashlight apps can also just turn your screen bright white and that's plenty bright too.
I use and would recommend Tiny Flashlight + LED as, unlike TeslaLED, there's only one version and it's free -- you don't need to buy a donate version just to get basic functionality like the screen light (unless TeslaLED has changed that, anyways).

Also, you can get the pure white screen through a function in CM7. If you activate the power control widget there is an option to add a button for enabling the flash light (white screen). This doesn't help you with using the LED but for the time being until this function is added it is a nifty little feature that gives you some light with one push of a button.
Guess I'll stock with the white screen for now. It's still pretty bright but ya just can't best the led. Well thank you all for your help.
I built this from CM source a month ago, its not 100% but it works on TW builds at least. Don't try to use any of the strobe options and I've also had some strange things happen occassionally where the flashlight would turn on when I received a call.

I use the instant heart rate app its free in the market...it turns on the flash and as a bonus you can check your heart rate

I tried and it won't even install for me. I'm on the 0704 build of CM7 with the OTB kernel.
Still unable to find a flashlight app that makes the LED run...
I tried about 4 of them from the Market yesterday but none operated the camera flash LED. That includes one that says it is made for the Nexus, which I thought would work but did not.
TeslaLED always worked for me. Though, I have yet to test it on the new CM7.
Definitely worth a try though. GL

Tried TeslaLED..sorry no LED here...I have literately tried every market app i can find...gave up for now...also noticed the LED does not come on when recording video..but does when you take a picture
As we all know, the sgs2 doesn't have notification leds. However, we do have leds under the menu and back buttons. I was wondering if anyone knows of any app that takes advantage of this. I want to use the menu and back button led as a notification led. Periodically flashing would be extremely helpful. I know there is NoLed on the market but that isn't the most elegant solution. Perhaps even using camera flash on minimum minimum brightness could be doable.
You need BLN for that. (Back Light Notification)
1- You have to flash BLN compatible kernel for that. For example- Ninphetamine.
2- You need to have liblights.zip installed. You can find it from Jame Bond thread.
3- You need to install BLN Control Pro for that, free version wont work for Missed calls and stock SMS/MMS app.
4- If you want notification for stock SMS/MMS app then you have to install 'Light Flow Lite' from market.
I was recently using it with that kernel, but I don't like that kernel at all.
Besides flashing too many things for just a simple light notification is very kiddish. Got rid of BLN and back to CF. No intention of getting it unless it start supports all kernels.
Regards.
Im running the villainROM 2.4.2 with ninphetamine kernal and XXKG6 installed.downloading the BLN app from the market you get that.

Has anyone noticed the red light that appears at the top of the phone next to the front camera and sensor? I've only really noticed it once the phone has been fully charged.
Perhaps this could be used to indicate a notification, assuming there isn't an app that already uses this light?
Lol, thats the Proximity sensor taking effect dude.

Well whatever it is, could it not be used as a notification indicator if it hasn't already been?

No sir, it can only be used in a call when you put your phone near your face/ear it helps to turn off the screen.
Regards.
Wait, so that really is an led light?! I've never seen it go off, it would be sweet to have a red notification led, just like my old Blackberry... BLN works okay for now, though is is NOWHERE as bright as the led on the blackberries.
I started using NoLED, coming from a Desire I was a bit disappointed. I like NoLED but I'm concerned about the impact it has on battery even though I have mine set to 1% brightness and I rather have the standard icons on screen rather than the custom icons to be honest.

Wooaaa.....
why such hassle?
i thought android suppose to be the smarted OS. :-(
back when i was using symbian, light signal plus, a simple app can make softhey LED lit up.
i was hoping theres a widget or app in android that can do the same thing.
rooting or flashing for such small function seems overkill. :-(

Android is the smartest OS but it isn't the simplest one. And as an user, not a dev, I don't like that too.
I also remember about Light Signal Plus when I had 5800XM.

Hey all... I had v10.6 and the pulse notification worked as it should... it pulsed. Now after flashing v11 directly over v10.6 even with the pulse option selected, the softkey lights stay lit now. I've unchecked/rechecked this option but not sure what to do.
Anybody else have this issue or know a solution?
I remember this happening to me where I'd get a message and it won't pulse but stay lit on previous versions of ICS Passion. When it happens to me I usually turn off the pulse notification, reboot, turn it on, and test.
No luck with that but thanks for the suggestion!

Same here: I saw it pulsing exactly once. After the next upgrade it was gone back to just turning on the lights. It seems common to most ROMS that support the feature. Too bad :-(
Maybe it has something to do with deep sleep/power management and the fact that the CPU would need to wake up every second and turn the light on and off.
I would say try the Streamline Kernel. That is the only one I had the actual pulse notification work for on ICS Passion.

Now that you mention it, I was on v10.6 + Eugene's kernel when it did work.

Mine never pulsed, even when it was on 10.6.
Never saw it pulsing too, just aways on on notifications.
We don't have full control of it, right? Like different pulses for e-mail and sms notifications, or control over individual leds, like blink home for e-mail, back for sms, menu for calls, etc... I know that they are independent leds, as I saw only some on one time (when the phone crashed), so, it could be done that way.
Yes, that streamline kernel totally forgot. I had pulsing when I had that kernel on and when I flashed to v11 w/o streamline it is solid.
Apparently streamline is currently only available for/compatible with v10.6.

Hi all!
I bought the xperia u yesterday and there seems to be a problem somewhere (i wish it's not a hardware kind).
The small notification LED next to the front camera IS working but the light isn't that bright. I did the test run, the LED is working but the light is just weak
What should i do?
This is my main issue with the phone next to the small internal memory. My X10 mini pro's led is easily noticable from a distance but with this one you actually have to be at 50cm or closer to be able to see it. Makes the fact that the led bar can't be used for notifications even more annoying.
I think the code/SDK or whatever which controls the ledbar is available to developers, the app XSLights can already mess with it a bit, so we can only hope someone finds a way to allow the ledbar to be used for notifications. Maybe via a Tasker script or something like that. Flash every 30 seconds or something wouldn't be draining the battery too much I'd think.
Maybe flashing a custom rom/kernel solves that problem but I'm with the default ones at the moment.
But having the LED bar flashing for notifications would be sweet
I'll see what I can do about it probably only one value for the LED to edit
The LED from Xperia S also isn't really bright
XS led seems fine to me.
XS led is ok, but not really bright

Hi guys,
well, I'm posting here because it seems there is no solution for the above mentioned problem.
I'm currently on STE CM11 (weekly 21) and couldn't find a way to make the notification LED brighter (more visible).
Is there a specific value I must alert? Anyone knows how to make the LED more visible?
p.s. I'm not talking about the illumination bar
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...
