The question's been asked a few times before (including by me), but so far with no solution. I'm trying again, then:
Does anyone know an app or hack or tweak that will completely kill the charging LED (or kill the LED altogether - if only I could open the phone and disconnect it!)? Yes, I'm rooted, and yes, I've tried "LightFlow", "Charging LED", Light Manager", etc., but so far none work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just use custom rom and change color.......
Many thanks, but I don't want to change the colour, I want to switch it off completely.
I'm very happy with the stock ROM, and I would much prefer not to have to use a custom one. However, if anyone here is able to verify from experience that it would definitely be possible to switch off the charging LED completely under a custom ROM, then I guess I may have to consider doing that.

You can set it to black and it will match the body of the ultra. Why does the led bother you?
...............
That looks very encouraging, thanks. Can you tell me where the screenshot comes from? Is it an app, or part of the settings of a custom ROM, in which case which one? Many thanks.
As for why I want to switch it off: I have a desktop charger by my bed, the phone is positioned facing me, as I want. But when I'm sleeping I want complete darkness and the LED is a tremendous annoyance.

Thats a part of settings app with led options injected. It appears in most cm based roms.
Cheers. I do apologise if I'm sounding pedantic or difficult, but can you actually recommend a specific ROM? I'm not experienced with trying out ROMs, and I'd prefer not to install one, only to discover that it doesn't have the right settings, and so have to try another. Thanks very much.

i have been wondering, since the majority of Samsung phones lack a notification light, would it be possible to or get an app to make the menu/back button to light up when a notification has been received/(while the screen is off of course) to make up for this loss?
if there is an app/mod for this please lead me too it

Yes, it's called BLN, or Back Light Notifications. It's been around for a long time, actually.
To use it, flash a kernel that supports BLN. Most custom ROMs here have said kernels. Or if you don't want to flash custom ROM, just flash the kernel.
Then, download the BLN app from the market, and enable it from there.

Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass for the moment.
Greeting everyone.
I recently got an Android and I also recently decided to root and stick a custom ROM on it. Everything went fine and dandy with that and I'm currently on Cryanogen 9 Alpha ROM (it's spectacular to say the least).
On the default ROM you could choose to turn off the key lights (I'm talking about the touch keys on both sides of "the master button"). However, neither does Cryanogen 7 or 9 offer me this option and because I'm so used to it, lights seem weird and unnecessary.
So, after searching the interwebz for a while, I couldn't find anything useful and hence my post.
Thanks in advance for any help given.
Furthermore, fantastic video!
Bump! (Too few characters apparently).

This requires .bln (BackLightNotifiation) mod which isn't featured in my current ROM (Cyanogen 9).
Thanks for the input anyhow.
I would like to know this too. The keys are allways on in CM9 unfortunately

It turns out that you can turn them off in CM7 but unfortunately I'm yet to find a fix for CM9.
you can try to modify the following script in the middle of this post to make it work in cm9

Thanks a bunch for the link.
I'll definitely give it a try when I have a bit of spare time.
EDIT: This script also requires BLN (which I talked about above) and after searching long and hard, I have found out that there is no ICS kernel with BLN support (while some others knew this, I certainly didn't).
After looking around further it seems that I/we won't get the feature for a while since BLN seems to be the only way apart from integration within the ROM (like it is within TouchWiz or CM7) that you can turn off your soft keys.
Latest build of CM9 has removed backlight!
'Tis a glorious day.

Wow, I've been looking for a way to disable the keys and while the script won't work for me messing with the settings did the job, that was my only issue so far. Cheers for the share. I'm using MIUI with siyah if anyone cares in order to make it work.
PS: games and movies look much better with no white lights :O
EDIT: Well, guess I was beat by the software had a notification during the night, and now the lights only stay off until the first time the screen gets turned off, after that they go back to their normal behaviour unless I reboot :|. On the look again for another way.
EDIT 2: Ok, I'm not giving up, for now I found yet another way for anyone interested (you need a BLN kernel however).
I installed BLN Control Pro, disabled everything and put BLN blinking: On and Led OFF time 3 minutes.
Now what I do is enter Test mode, turn the screen off and on, and now, the lights will be off for as long as I keep the program running. The only problem with this, is that BLN stops the phone from going into Deep Sleep, so I just need to remember to turn the test mode off and to disable BLN whenever I don't need the buttons off.
It's not a pretty solution but for now it's the best I could come up.
no setting for that
I'm looking for a torch app which uses the LED flash of the camera, does anybody know of a good one - preferably free!
I've tried several and none of them actually utilise the flash - only the screen lights up brighter but I want the power of the LED
.
I'm guessing there is something within the software of the camera which can't be overwritten by the apps currently available??

i found it quite fun the first time i tried to use a torch app.
i got one that flashes the LED when the phone rings
rang my phone and all that happened was the lens extended then retracted several times so my phone moved up and down off the table
which was actually a cooler thing lol

This is a big disadvantage. Come on, some developer must be able to do it!

Bump this old thread. Looking for a working apps. Have tried 20+ of all the LED/torch in PlayStore with no luck.
Last hope (that will be unlikely) is to hope Samsung update the firmware to Lollipop, since it will have dedicated Torch button in quick settings.
...nah
Another huge fail for Samsung. No wonder this phone is so cheap on eBay. If they arn't careful, they'll go the way of HTC.
a xenon flash isn't a led. turn it on for more than a minute and it'll burn your battery!
it isn't a standar light, that's why it doesn't work as such for flashlight apps

I want to switch off my charging LED, indeed I'd like to switch off the LED completely. My phone is rooted and I've been trying out apps, but so far I haven't found a single one that can do the job. Can anyone please recommend an app or a method of simply killing the charging LED? Thanks.
Use a ROM that allows custom colour for charging and notification.
Select black as the colour.
Works with teamUB I've seen the colour selection options in quite a few ROMs. I don't know about stock though.
Thanks. But changing ROM seems like a serious overkill! I really do want to stay with the stock ROM (and to be able to receive the imminent over-the-air Lollipop update). Is a change of ROM really the only way to do it?

then rooting and unlocked bootloader is not for you.. stick a bit of electric tape over the led
Your sarcasm notwithstanding (and I actually DID stick tape over the LED for a while!), I've found a solution:
Using an app called "Light Flow", running it in "Direct mode", and setting its sleep time settings for all day, I've managed to kill the LED dead. Job done
The LED behaviour on my Nexus 6P is weird. It flashes ON for half a second then OFF for 3 seconds. I want to change this so that the LED stays ON for a second and OFF for another second.
I used to be able to do this with GravityBox + Xposed when I was on Marshmallow but now I'm on Nougat and am looking for an alternative.
Is there any app that allows me to do this? I have root. I'm willing to modify some files if needed.

Have you checked out "LightFlow" I haven't used the app in a while because my current device doesn't have an LED, But the app might help you out, worth a shot.

Thanks though.
None do. That I know of. I had to edit it in the code for my device.
