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

Hi I am just wondering if any one can tell me how to turn off the green led that flashes all the time or how to change the colour from green to blue????
on right side is only green, orange and red color, no blue IMHO. but you can use felt tip pen ;-)))

K thanxs for that. So how do I make the green light not flash no more or change the colour to one that it can be changed to???

1) write your own driver... which is probably beyond your capability.
2) smash it in with a screwdriver... pretty stupid
3) open the Hermes up and unsolder it... smarter, but voids your warranty.
that my friend is about it.
or... change the registry. Not the precise control you're looking for but this will shut off all LEDs if you're annoyed by your bedroom looking like a UFO landing site at night:
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\AllLEDMgr]
"Index"=0
Note! Disables vibrating too.
VJImpoto should be a safer alternative to the screwdriver method.
However, AFAIK, on the Hermes disabling the driver is not permanent, it has a habit of re-enabling itself from time to time.
There are other solutions though, but at least for me, I haven't had the time to re-write VJImpoto to address this caveat.
Also try VJPlumBum for a brief orgasmic spasm.

Hey Sleuth,
On my way the vibrating function still works.
I just place it face down so you won’t be disturbed by aliens.

The Evo 3D only has 2 led colors - Red and Green - and the original Evo had an extra color, orange. The way it worked was (I'm pretty sure) it flashed both green and red at once to create that color. This means you could have an orange LED on the Evo 3D.
In fact, I already tested something and it worked. Using the application LED Tester, located here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.coolbeans.ledtester&feature=search_result
I was able to flash an orange LED. What happened was, I set it to green and turned off the screen. Before the led flashed green, it was orange for a split second. That was most likely because it flashed red and green both at the same time and then flashed green.
Since you can flash a continuous red and a continuous green, it should be possible to make the phone continuously flash orange or flash it for notifications. I would like to ask all of you application/developers if you could make an app that did this. If you also added color configurations for different notifications (like text, email, etc.) that would be amazing.
Thanks,
yousefak

i think that would burn up the LED's quicker according to google
"LED’s have a functional lifetime that is far longer than the more traditional lighting technologies. However, contrary to some claims, LED life is finite, and will vary with color and chip make-up. LED’s will degrade over their life span."

LED's tend to last something like 100,000 hours. They'd only burn out if you run too much electricity through them, and the red and green should be on different pins, so I doubt it would do anything noticeable. (For reference, that's 11½ years of being on constantly.) As for this, I'd like to see it, though I don't know how Android itself handles LEDs so I'm not sure if it's possible outside of little glitches like the one you got.

Although that may very well be the case, it is most likely not because:
Using HTC's test program, the light doesn't flash orange at all when doing red or when doing green. However, with the application, it does. This could be for a number of reasons.
For example, it could have been a glitch with the app that caused it to send out 2 LED signals at once. If this were true, the app could be tweaked to keep sending 2 LED signals at once to your will.
Or it could have very well been a glitch with the LED's or something similar hardware related/hardcoded into android. If this were the case an app can't continuously send 2 LED signals at once but can still flash it for a second by exploiting the glitch.
But most likely it is possible because that is how (I think) it was done on the Evo 4G.

I replied to you in the other thread. I don't think you should be using the word "glitch" by the way. That is a very false statement.
yousefak said:
Hold up. Using Tasker, you can assign different LED's for texts/emails/missed calls? And these LEDs are supported by the Evo 3D?
Edit: Using an application, if I set it to be green and turn off the screen, the orange flashes just quick enough for you to see it. If you watch closely enough, you will see that a red flashes just before the orange.
App: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.coolbeans.ledtester&feature=search_result
In theory, a developer could create an application that changed the LED light to amber/orange by making both flash at the same time. If you dial *#*#3424#*#* in will bring up a program where you can test LED's. Green and red will both continuously shine so it would technically be possible to make a continuous orange shine.

Evo 3D has green and amber.
Turn both on when you receive a text = solid yellow. Flash both at the same time = flash yellow. This is assuming you use 100 as the value for brightness on both LEDs. It isn't very hard to do. You can write your own script to do this but Tasker makes it a lot easier.
To easily test this run this command in a terminal with root (su when you open terminal)
echo 100 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/amber/brightness
echo 100 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/green/brightness
This produces a pretty, solid, yellow glow.
I have mine set to hold solid yellow while I am charging (so effectively, I only have the green LED turn on since the amber will be on while charging) if I have a new SMS.

Thank you for this information.
EDIT: I ran the commands through adb and it worked. However, if using Tasker and setting it to flash green + red or yellow just makes it flash green. Is there anything I am doing wrong?
Or you guys can just use
Light Flow. Set it to Direct Mode, then choose Color Mixer in the Notification preferences. You can then choose between green solid/flashing, amber solid/flashing, or both at the same time (effectively making orange solid or blinking). It's much easier than trying to program it in Tasker.

Wow thanks! This is really cool! Only down is that there is no red led option.
Edit: Nvm, dark orange is red. I also found out that you can use the color mixer to make it flash instead of being solid.
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

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!

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

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?
