I was wondering, why wasn't there a project to use the lights from the four buttons at the bottom as a notufication light instead of the backlight?

Some of the custom roms actually have this

It's called BLN. But I think your phone has to be rooted.

Are you looking for bln on a non I9000 rom? Just not going to happen. BLN has been available for a couple months now and reading would let you know that part.
This is my captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
I don't like BLN since the light stays on all night if I get an email and drains the battery more than usual. I wish I can disable it (I'm sure there is a way, I just haven't looked into too much)

You can. Use BLN notification app (paid version) or Blinky. They both now have the option to turn the lights off after a certain amount of time.

Just thought I would share this app! Found it at the galaxy s forum but it works great on the epic. It uses the super amoled to display notifications as opposed to the led light. You just hit the back button to exit out of the notification and go to the lock screen. Try it out! Here is the link:

Except for the fact that we have an actual led for notifications so the app is more than a little redundant

Hi,
I find the fact that the buttons under the screen keep lit until you turn the screen off annoying. I often use the tab in the dark and even if you cover them up some of their light "contaminates" the bottom area of the screen, especially with dark images.
Is there any known way to get them working back as they did on Froyo? Maybe if someone could extract the old Froyo backlight driver I could try it on my tab...

I think its a great feature, especially for using in the dark as I often pressed wrong button accidentally. However I do think there should be some sort of setting to adjust when its on all the time and when its not etc.
Try an app called blinker I think from the market.

Is it possible for someone to create an app like this one https://market.android.com/details?id=com.martinborjesson.o2xtouchlednotifications but for the Nexus S? The backlight of the capacitive buttons flash when you have a notification.
Already is one...its called BLN control...u need a custom kernal that supports it...and most do...

Running the AOSP ICSV43 and NoLED works fine on my phone. I don't play around with kernels for now since all is being tested, don't want to be flashing the phone at every second.
Nexus S 4g sprint
nstool can set BLN to flash.
I really like NoLED but it sucked my battery, so had to quit using. Found a couple others on the market, loaded on kids phones, seems to be working okay without major drain.
Most custom ICS ROMs have notification LEDs preloaded now

As the title suggests, can you totally kill the LED notification light? I mean stop it working for good.

Why would you even do something drastic like that? :what:

I could disable it on my x10 mini pro by night for example. But it was cm feature. Possibly linked to kernel also (cm was disabling module controlling led. If I remember well).
It is useful for example by night. When the led try to make you remember "hello, I am charged, I will put this green light in your face for you to know it"
Xperia z led power is still correct, x10 was my morning sun.

Simple... I don't like it
I can't stand the stupid thing being lit at night like 'hey your fully charged, now I'm going to dazzle you till you wake up'. I don't like the fact it doesn't show colours properly since the last update and more than anything else, it looks ugly as hell when it's lit. I initially liked it S my BlackBerry had one, but the BB had the far superior light control and brightness, the colour was more defined too.

Ride it like you downhill it.
The Droid 4 is the first phone I've ever had that doesn't light an LED to indicate that it is charging, or indicate that it is fully charged. Is there such a thing on this phone? If so, how do I turn it on? I don't want to have to wake the phone to check the battery level.

ive opened the apk and I don't see bools.xml anywhere
It looks like the free app Light Flow will do the trick, even on non-rooted phones. The app gives me the option to change the colors, even. Nice selection too. The one thing I can't seem to make it do is keep the LED on continuously, even when I use Light Flow's Always On setting. Must be some setting Motorola has locked down. But at least I can tell at a glance whether the phone is charging or not, even when it's sleeping. Plus, Light Flow lets me set the LED to a different color when the battery is fully charged. Awesome for a free app. :good:
