LED Notification brightness - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to mod/hack the LED brightness levels? I was trying out different ROM's, almost all AOSP ROM's have very bright LED notifications while in Samsung Stock ROM (Jelly Bean) LED is too dim. It looks like there are some config files inside sys\class\leds folder but after I edit them with Root Explorer and save they just restore to the original value. Any ideas guys?

Try Light Manager app from play store, it gives full brightness as well as options to reduce brightness if you want to reduce it.. Also with lot of other personalisation options...

Try custom kernel e.g boeffla kernel.. have option to change to bright led notification

I already tried Light Manager, it helped a little but I remember that LED's were even brighter on ICS, so the "Bright" setting in Light Manager isn't what I'm looking for. Thank for that kernel, I will look in to it :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Is BLN support kernel specific..can it be added later?

I used a version of DarkyROM about 6 months ago that had BLN support, and it worked fine with Light Flow.
Now I'm on DragonROM (the latest one as of today) and Siyah 3.1 rc1 kernel, but Light Flow doesn't work.
I have tried all the options - for alternate methods etc that it has. Is this something that can only be fixed by changing kernels? Can it be fixed by replacing a .so or something?
(Aside: I sincerely hope Samsung adds a dedicated notification LED in the Galaxy S3).
Bln is kernel dependant. I got it work with Siyah 3.0.1 and now I'm on abyss kernel and it works too.
But I do not use lite flow any more, because it did not work dependable. Sometimes lights did not go on, sometimes they did not go off.
Now I use BLN control pro in combination with notify me free and bln works fine!

Does it support different colors for the softkey LEDs..or are they only white?
White only. Because the LED's in the SGS2 soft buttons are white.

Um, what?
This is a screen tuner. It does not look like it will change the color of the softkeys. Not sure anything will, as MistahBungle says, it appears the LEDs of the softkeys are specifically white.

[Q] Notification led brightness

Hi,
I've updated my xperia ray to a new CM10 based rom (Racing Bean v3.1-6 N, latest version).
But now my notification led looks very dimmed. It's almost impossible to see if the led is flashing.
Before I was using FXP2xx and the led was much brighter.
Does anyone know a solution to make the led brighter?
Does this work for CM10, because it's made for stock rom? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212944
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply!
I've tried the app, but it doesn't work unfortunately.
Maybe this will help

[Q] Screen filter - Remove colors

Hi, I've been searching of many threads about screen filter but no application has convinced me.
I've got a S4 i-9505 running on Kit Kat and i find that the colors of Amoled display are so blinding.
I wonder you if there is an app or a mod who can remove the color, a sort of desaturation :
It would be great when you're using it in night. The app in question will show your display in white and black color only.
I don't want an app to adjust brightness or fix the color, but to remove the color.
Do you think it would be difficult to build it ? Did you think the battery will increase ?
If, this app already exists, did i have to root ?
Thank you.
yes, you MUST have root! and a kernel which is providing such a module to mod the calibration this way.. eg. with faux kernel it should be possible to reduce the color saturation so its almost only black and white

[Q] Is there a way of calibrating screen colours on S2?

I used an S1 for a couple of years until today. I loved the S1 so much that I actually really wanted to keep it, but the low RAM was becoming a problem, so since the design of the S2 is pretty similar to the S1 I decided to buy one.
It's all rooted and running CM11 now, but the screen has a little but of yellow tint to it. On the S1, most ROMs had advanced display options which you could adjust red, green, blue individually as well as red, green, blue gamma.
Is there any way of doing this with the S2? This tint is a bit annoying.. :-/
Thanks
Flash Dorimanx 8.43v64 kernel with any JB rom, and you will be able to set colors in STweaks, or you can try 10.43 for CM11 but im not sure if it has color options.

Does flashing that kernel give me seperate control of red/green/blue?
I flashed a different kernel that also used STweaks, but there was only a brightness control and a gamma control, no individual colour sliders.
It's CM11 I'm using. Don't really want to go back to using JB, after having seen the great increase in performance I got when I upgraded to 4.4.3.

I dont know if any KK kernel has that option, but this kernel works with any JB rom and has blue/red color scale settings:Kernel_Dorimanx-V8.43-[12-21]-[24-10]-JB-SGII-PWR-CORE.zip

LED Light

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
