hey guys, i was wondering if i could control the notifications led of the phone.. so far i saw only two colors, red and green... is it possible to customize ( any app) which might give access to different color lights?

Yes. HTC uses dual light technology not multi light, hence red and green are the only colours that will ever blink in your device. Hope this helped!

Has anyone noticed on startup the 2 LEDs where the hardware buttons are, are very bright and have a purplish blue tint on the color? But after that they get dim during regular usage and turn into like a ice blue color
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I've noticed that too, although I think it's only after the 2.1 update.
Personally I'd much prefer the LEDs to be that purple colour all the time, but I don't know if it's possible.
I wish you can customize them and make them blink like the w760.

Hi all,
I've noticed there are several different LED colors that appear for notifications.
Was just wondering if anyone had figured out which color corresponds to which notification?
Because sometimes the light is blue, green or white? Can't decide which color is for what
Thanks guys

There is not much informations on that page.
When you plug the charger, led will red if battery level is btw 0 and 90%, above 90% its green (even at 100, it still show green-i dont like that).
When you download any app on market, led will blink...
The notification LED can be controlled based on what the app wants. FB can make a blue LED, Whatsapp and general notifications are green, charging is yellow, fatal errors are red, white I've seen on different apps, so it really depends on your app usage. You can't control it directly though settings or anything.
Thanks all for your answers.
Does anyone know of an app in the market which enables you to take control of the LED color? So I can set the LED to flash a set color for certain apps?
Thanks again everyone.
Light Flow works, but you gotta go into
General settings for the app and enable "Direct Mode"
It also asks for root and accessibility settings enabled, but it does work

I have a problem with my led notifications I can not adjust green led except fully charging.
by the way the other colours coming from mixture of green does not occurs.
my phone is xperia tipo ICS 4.0.4
I am new to android and dont know anything about rooting,rom,flash and other stuff of android.
can you advise me a efficient and a easy way to solve this problem.
Not: can i downgrade from ICS to Ginger Bread ???
I always wondered how to change the colors of the led for different notifications but after seeing in the menu that it would only let me turn them on or off i thought i was going to have to use an app to control it. Well I just stumbled across this and thought I would share just in case someone else didnt know this. If you edit a contact it gives you the option of changing the color of the LED for that persons notifications. Hope this helps.
Awesome, thanks!

Yes, i saw that, and is is useful. I want to find a way to customize the led color on an app by app basis.
Is there a way to get the light to work for third party apps like go SMS?

Uh, yeah, hit the "LED" button in the quick settings panel to turn off the LED.

Light Manager doesn't seem to work for me on my kitkat G2, are there any other apps or ways to change led notification color per application?

Prof notification pro is supposed to work on any app, I have the non pro and it works fine for basic SMS and missed calls. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153923

Great it works, i found out for hangout the first blink of led is the stock colour and then goes to the desired colour from lightflow. Is that unavoidable behavior? Is there a chance of turning of LED from lg setting and letting light flow do all the work? It seems to me that will turn off led entirely. Thanks Again

Thank you for this.
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:

tried... but the default SONY light will overwrites with theirs.
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?
Hi all,
I'm using Light Manager Pro to try and set different LED colours on my Swift2+. However, it appears the notification LED doesn't have a "blue" mode. Does anyone know the specs of the LED?

Hello, there's already a thread about it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/swift-2/help/wileyfox-swift-2-notification-led-t3522004/page1 .
In addition to the other thread reply of mine, I must say that now that I have the device in my hands, I've seen that, by default, it also supports amber/yellow color, by turning on both Red and Green LED at te same time (something that is clearly not specified in the specs. sheet). So you can use those three colors
My "search-fu" obviously isn't up to scratch
