There is a green light blinking normally, but when a message arrives, it starts blinking as orange. Is there a way to make it blink as red, so it would be a much more noticeable color?

That was quick, thanks !

Hi guys,
I made a little shell script that I run which backs up my settings on the phone. What I'd like to do is make the LED light up green if the process completes and red if it fails, for a few seconds and then clear it.
Is it possible to control the LED from the command line?
Yes you can control LEDs from the command line.
Try something like this:
echo "255" >> /sys/class/leds/<colour>/brightness
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
colour can be one of these:
red
green
blue
jogball-backlight
button-backlight
lcd-backlight
I tried this on my Magic, not sure if it's the same for others.
Changing red/green/blue will affect the led. You can mix colours, so setting red and green to 255 will give you yellow (it's actually more orange - the colour it turns when it is charging).
Values can be 0-255 but anything that is not 0 will turn the led on. There don't seem to be any brightness levels as far as I have found.
jogball-backlight is obvious - the light behind the trackball.
button-backlight is the light behind the keypad. For your Dream you may have something else to control the keypad backlight but since the Magic doesn't have one, this option affects the 6 buttons on the front of the device.
lcd-backlight I have so far not been able to get to work. Changing the value has no effect.
The red/green/blue values also have a blink file which can be set:
echo "255" >> /sys/class/leds/red/blink
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will make the led begin to blink. Note that you must set the brightness as well. Brightness of 0 and blink of 255 will not do anything. Only the led has this ability. I'm not sure how the trackball does the fade on and off when you get a text message.
You can mix blink of one colour with constant of another. For example, set:
green brightness to 255,
green blink to 0,
red brightness to 255,
red blink to 255
blue brightness to 0
blue blink to 0
What you will see is an led that is green, but blinks yellow/orange.
Blinks are always synchronised. You cannot use blink to flash green then red one after the other. Setting both brightness and blink to 255 on red and green will cause a yellow/orange flashing led.
However if you make a timer and set green brightness to 0 and red to 255, then after x seconds set red to 0 and green to 255 you can achieve the effect of blinking between two colours. The device itself has no method of doing this automatically though.
You can also change the values when the device is plugged in. If I plug mine in via USB, the led turns orange while it charges. If you check the value of green and red you will see they are now 255 and blue is 0. Set green and red to 0 and the led will be off even though the device is plugged in.
What I have noticed with this though is that when you unplug, the led goes back to orange and then turns off. This happens no matter what you set - if your device is plugged in and then you make the led blue, when you unplug the led will turn orange and then off (or green then off if it is fully charged).
System events can also override whatever values you set. If you set the led blue then plug it in, it will still change to green or orange (green for charged, orange for charging). I assume getting a text message will override and flash green as well.
That's everything I've found out about them. You may want to make a little script that you can pass parameters to, like "setLED r g b" or something. Would make it easier to set colour combinations.
Have fun with the LEDs.
Do LED-Notifications work for you in GingerDX?
In my phone they don't seem to work?!
They work for me
it seems they got messed up somehow? if i set them in cyanogensettings they at least work once (means they blink 1 time)?
just did a full wipe and the problem persists ...
e.g.: missed call: screen goes off, led blinks once green and then stops blinking, but is supposed to blink red?
i have same problem, LED just blinks at once..
Had no problem with any LED notifications to date on any rom, just wish I could change the the charging light. >_<

You can set how much it blinks by changing that specific setting in blink rate.
by changing the blink rate it just changes the "speed" of blinking?
Ginger DX v21 LED Notifications don't work
Edit: Never Mind! Night-time notification toggle was on!
I installed Ginger DX with a full wipe. The LED notifications don't work, although the LED lights up while charging.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I think gravitybox allows you to do this, you'll need Xposed framework though.
I have looked into this extensively. There is another thread about it already. Unfortunately, the LED is this phone has only red and green colors - that's it. Now, by turning on both the red and green at the same time, you should be able to get a third color - orange. BUT, the red LED is so much brighter than the green LED that the "orange" looks almost the same as the red, so it's really not usable. I emailed back and forth with the developer of the wonderful lightflow app to help figure out if it was a hardware or a software issue. Unfortunately for us, it's a hardware issue. They saved a few cents by using a red and green color LED instead of a much higher quality red, green, blue LED.
The bottom line is that the LED can only be bright red or green. You can use blink rates in combinations with the colors to indicate different things though. If you look at my post in the other thread, you can see how to turn the red and green on and off again with some simple commands.

Well thx for the research m8. It's unfortunate tho. But nevertheless thanks very much for the info
I was VERY disappointed to find this out! My previous phone was a Moto G xt1045 and it had a white notification light only. On the models after that, they removed it altogether in favor of "ambient display" - yech! Doesn't do you a damn bit of good when you are across the room and look over at the phone. A blinking light, you can see. A notification that pops up from time to time, you are unlikely to.
I was so looking forward to having a full color LED like the Nexus 5 I had years ago had. But... $60!
Sorry for my english this Led its only "Led charger" or Led notificatiom also?

No, it's not just for indicating charging. You can use it to indicate anything you like using an application like LightFlow.
But since it can only display the colors red and green, and both together still look like red because red is so much brighter, you really only have two colors to work with.
You can use things like different blink rates and sounds to indicate different notifications as well.
I took the latest update yesterday, and now when I get a text message, the LED notification is blue. Before the update, the LED was green for texts, and blue for email. Is there any way to get it back to green? I'm using Verizon Messages btw.
LED light issues after Oreo update on Verizon

I have the same thing happening. I am using Message+ on Verizon and have a Galaxy S8. Green is much more visible to me. The setting for the LED in the app is Green. LED Indicator in Display settings is on. Have rebooted. Have cleared the cache and data for the messaging app. The blue LED used to display for my Any.do notifications, and no LED displays for those since the update. The LEDs display perfectly for charging (red while charging, green when charging is complete), so clearly green still works somewhere. I would really like this fixed.
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone knows if the notification LED can be customised? I've tried light flow but it doesn't work correctly (perhaps because of the lack of colours supported by zenfone LED?).
Sadly, the notification LED is only red green and yellow

That is a little unfortunate although if it could be customized it still would be handy (for example green on vs slow flash vs fast flash all for different apps).. Seems strange that the green light flow settings don't work even though the LED has green.
