just curious if theres a way to make the 4 lights at bottom flash when you have a missed call our message
yep. its called BLN Control. you can get it from the market. but you also have to have a kernel that supports it.
Bln won't make them blink will it? Get bln then blinky

BLN Control worked, thanks guys. I paid the 2 bucks for upgraded version, it does blink. I already had the kernal, as Im using Continuum rom by Cezar. Great rom btw.
Now I have to see if it runs down the battery
You can also try a free app called NoLED which flashes icons on the amoled screen instead of the buttons. More informative since you can tell what kind is missed event it was!

hi, I just update to FRF50. Just wondering if there are any apps out for the colored trackball and trackball to wake the phone? I had those when I had cyanogen.
Untill the source is released there won't be a 100% working option. There are mods from Paul in the dev section for the trackball notification. There are also lock screen mods for the trackball wake.
Look for "No Lock" on the market. It turns off all lockscreens so pressing the tracball will turn on/wake the phone, again disables the lock screen. It can be ran as an app or a widget.
As for trackball colors, the only one I found that works with original 2.2 non custom rom is SMS Popup, lets you change the colors of SMS notifications.
Trackball colours works with all new FroYo Custom Roms here on XDA

"blink" and "Gmail unread count" allow custom colors on non-rooted Froyo.
Successive notifications don't work x-app but it will allow you to experience some trackball notifications until the source is out for Froyo to get a "proper" implementation.

Whilst this works well for me, I do find that Blink can lose settings randomly. You ever seen this?
If you are on a properly deodexed froyo Rom, ie modaco r17, you may use trackball alert for colored notifications. You can get itfor free from the market. As for trackball wake, nothing yet.

Never had it do that, instead it would often flash the SMS colour for no reason, with no way to stop it though.
That was annoying.

No Lock from the market works for trackball wake on this rom
running frf72..... using a free app called lockbot that allows to you wake via the volume buttons and the trackball. you can also customize your lockscreen if you choose. this will work for me until something integrated comes along. Don't forget to make sure its installed on your phone rather than the SD so that it will launch on boot. Also remember to ignore it in any task killer you might use.
I've been using no lock for awhile, works great with no ill effects t to the battery life. Running desire r21.
yup i'm using no lock on froyo FRF50 and it works perfect. lets you use trackball to wake the phone, and battery life is identical as well.
What's up with that!?!? My last few phones all had that feature. Someone please tell me that there is some led that I'm not aware of.

There isnt one. alltho you can use some mod laying around that will lit up your phone screen LED or one that lights up your bottom buttons (home back search )

How long have you had your phone?
There is NoLED which you can get from the market or you can run an I9000 Rom that has BLN enabled. From their you can use a couple apps, Blinky or BLN Control. We have options that work really well.

I like the idea of having the bottom buttons light up, any link or name of app?

Most ROMs have it included. its called BLN (Back Light Notification). I dont think there is an app for it as i think it needs to be built into the kernel (Though dont quote me on that).

They have to be I9000 roms. Blinky app can work sometimes without BLN enabled on the Rom but it is highly recommended to run a Rom that has BLN.
OP: Just look in the dev section for roms that say BLN enabled. That will be your best bet for the menu lights. Otherwise, NoLED works great and it lights up your screen in small icons.
Is there an app that can change the color of ur notification led light. Like on the blackberry?

Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Me neither. I feel like i've seen it at green once but i can only recall red...
also i tried an led changer app, and it didnt do anything, so.. i think its safe to say that it doesnt and wont work,
its probably just a single color red LED up there anyways
its Amber/green

ah, my bad:
so then we technically should be able to make it any color in between the two?
I agree about the colors, would be nice to add some flavor. It all depends on the chip-set of the led, some have one or more with which it enables a photon beam of light to pass through.True color changing led's have several diodes incorporated into the led.
If we could get them to flash repeatedly for notifications that would be awesome

led notifications
There is is app available on the Droid market called LED me know. It doesn't support multiple colors, but it does let you change how often the LEDs flash. I just got my Aria from using a palm treo pro, I loved that I could set it to make the beacon light up. LED lets you get the LEDs at the bottom of the screen to light up. It does have faults... most task managers kill the app and it stops the home keys from lighting up sometimes. Hope this helps.
There's a hidden feature in CM7 that lets you change LED color and frequency by application. I found it searching for launchable apps in Minimalistic Text Widget. Still just red, green and orange work, however.

Hi,
Is it possible to make the camera's flash blink on and off based on custom settings for missed calls/sms notification purposes? NoLED is okay but the flash blinking along side of it would be slightly more helpful. Thanks.
Try bln and blinky brother. Bln uses the softkey back lights for notifications, and blinky makes them blink. I personally am using bln pro.

I flashed Slim ICS 4.0.4 yesterday, with the Captivate essentials and Slim Gapps. The ROM looks great and is considerably faster than my previous ones (Phoenix Unleashed and CM7 2.3.5).
Although I have a couple of issues with the ICS keyboard and notification lights.
-In the GB keyboard, I used to be able to double-tap the spacebar and get a period. Can't see that option in ICS. Am I missing something in the settings?
- Also, in GB, the spelling suggestions used to work even when I've typed a word wrongly and placed a space between that and a new word. I could go back to the wrongly typed word and correct it. In the ICS keyboard, once I move on from a wrongly typed word, I can't come back to it and correct it.
If the answer is that move back to GB keyboard for a while, can someone suggest a good GB keyboard app?
For the notifications: I have the AT&T captivate, and whenever a text/email etc arrives, the four bottom lights don't light up. Again, I'm guessing I'm missing something in the options.
Thanks, and keep up the great work
Not sure about the keyboard, I use Swype and turn off auto correct.... But i can still tap on a wrong word anywhere and the word suggestion pops up to pick from...
But for the backlight notification, look for an app called galaxy s settings , should be in your drawer. Change backlight timeout to never.
Phoned in.....
I tried the Galaxy S setting and put the BLN to "always on". Still doesn't work. I've got the NS Tools option for missed calls BLN on, and that's the only time I get the light.
