I've been using Martin Börjesson's LED Notifications app for a while and you can now find it on the market!
"LG O2X Touch LED Notifications"
By Martin Börjesson
I found it's light on battery. And you can simply disable the notification part if you just want to recall the setting of touch LED brightness after reboot. It's free
I can't make it work with cyanogen nighlty :/

hmm..I can.
do i need to set any monitor app if i want it notice the miss call? if so, which?
Can't make it work with DocSlim
I tested all settings, i changed parameters in Accessibility, nothing happens...
Have you tried a reboot (though mine worked fine without on cm. Weird..)
Very nice, works on the G2x as well, with cm7
it works on su660 (korean version of o2X) too. thanks for good information.
Yep !
I've been using it since version 0.2 and it works really good. I just installed last version from market.
To emprize : no you don't need any app monitor for missed call. It's one of the 3 basics (Gmail, SMS/MMS, Missed call). Look into "notification" if "Missed call" is checked (should be by default).

I haven't noticed any as of yet but the way the program is set-up, it could be a battery guzzler. This app loops check for notifications as opposed to being built into the framework

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll just try it myself!
If anyone of you notices a serious battery drain I'd appreciate a post
anybody know what's the accelerometer tolerance for? i don't quite get it.

problems is that as soon as you have a notification, your phone will not go to sleep. And then will drain battery until you check your phone
Yea that's what I mean but you didn't notice a serious drain because of that?
Just to be sure, the screen remains off and the buttons glow it is simply that the phone doesn't go into "sleep" mode (what somehow makes sense)?!
Did some testing
And my sleeping phone (no notification) consume 2-3% an hour
With the notification glowing (meaning no sleep) for an hour, I loose 10%
The phone does sleep, the app has zero wakelock according to spare parts.
well, the leds are still blinking, from what I know (I still may be wrong there's no LG routine for the blinking. It does mean it's done by the "LG O2X Touch LED Notifications" so no sleep...
well this is what I'm guessing, since we do not have the source code
Just cos an app does something doesn't mean it has to keep the phone awake to do it
anyone know if galaxy note has notfication light..i keep missing messages and missed calls
The Note doesn't have a notification light. For me it's the worst thing about the phone.
There is a mod (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389394&highlight=+mod+) that lights up the menu and back buttons when you have a notification. I've not tried it though...
Nope, there's none out of the box, which is a pity, you'll need something like

Audio + visual reminder, supports almost applications you need to have notifications.
My Best app for this in 3 Android phones so far is NoLed
thank u all..noled is a cool app. thanks

I got high battery drain with NoLED. And you should know that not only the shown pixels are on, the whole Display is. And with "black" the red and green AMOLED-Pixels are on as well. In summary an AMOLED-display itself supports a single lit pixel but the Android framework does'nt. So display notifications are useless in this form...
I m fully agree for battery n full screen notification. But here two more nice function help to reduce problem. Sleep time - i just do noled off for my sleep time, so no more notification reminder, as well disturbance
Another is audio reminder, if phone is in pocket even it remind you with audio. So chances to remain screen on/miss event is minimal.

Some custom kernels are compatible with BLN app (free in the market).
Search "BLN" with google, it's the best notification app (for me)

iam using v 5.1.2, do you mean Sleep time: is time settings--> time and sleep , where you adjust NoLed off at sleeping time?
Never tried the audio reminder, how it sound? would it be like someone keep telling you (you got a missed call)?
Ah yeah I forgot: The high battery drain is partially caused by the fact that the CPU cannot be in deep sleep while the display is on. Another "feature" of the Android framework...

Yes sleeping time means, noled remains disabled for given scheduled time.
For audio reminder you can set repeat time of it like how frequent it give reminder for missed event, n also selection of ring tone for audio reminder.

Hi everyone
Re-posting this from the general section (posted on there by mistake, was still half asleep lol, sorry)
Just got the xperia z yesterday (after my previous lg 4x was stolen... grrr... may the thief get permanent bursting hemorroids...) and I noticed a weird thing.
The mute/vibrate/sound toggle in the notification bar does not seem to work, and the same goes for the one in the popup shown by pressing the power button for a couple seconds.
Details: the mute or vibrate icon appears on the notification bar, but if I check the volumes in settings, they're still all on, and if I receive a call or get a notification or whatever, the phone actually rings despite the supposedly muted state.
All this doesn't happen if I "manually" turn the volume off with the volume buttons or via settings: in that case the vibrate icon appears and the phone actually does not ring.
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
All good here dude. Hope you get it fixed. Have you tried turning phone off and on again? That usualy fixes small.glitches.

Yep, already tried that of course, as well as uninstalling the one widget I have that interacts with volumes, just to be sure it was not some weird conflict (and of course it wasn't)
Not a biggie actually, as I can turn it down manually or by said widget, but I hope I'll figure it out anyway if only for the sake of understanding the source of the issue
Yep I understand that. Annoys me when I cant get something working lile its ment to.

I have a problem with the toggle in the notification bar and the power off menu. System settings show me notifications and ringtones are off, but the phone still has audible, unmuted notification sounds. Really annoying.

Heard about it, but haven't read the whole thing yet (yep, still being lazy)
Jokes apart, I was planning to leave it 100% stock for at least a little while to see how the battery behaves without even the slightest piece of modding (got the phone only last friday, today has been the first real "field test" for the battery and so far I'm pretty positively impressed)
Well I have already removes/frozen a bucketload of apps happy bunny, I am. Now I only need to figure out which app does what so I don't kill something and make my phone less usable.

lol I removed a few apps too, but luckily for me they were uninstallable without root or anything.
I also disabled a few more through the stock apps management, for the time being it's sufficient for my taste

Yes, having the same problem as well with mine. But it has been the same problem since I had ICS on my Xperia Arc S, then Xperia V and now this when I use the toggle in the notification bar or any other toggle aside from toggling it manually via setting. Very irritating since it has never and probably will never be fixed due to the fact that it's a cross-model issue. Chances are, those who say they don't have this problem already has it but don't know it yet or will get it eventually. Sony needs to iron this out once and for all
As most of us know our beloved Note (1) doesn't have the "notifications LED" present in so many dumber and older phones.
After completely breaking the power button from just checking if there's any notification I've got a new phone and I'm on a quest for finding some alternative notification.
So, it seems that in order to actually GET that there's some notification you need to have talkback enabled and that's buggy (you get this spooky voice when doing certain tasks). FINE, I disabled (freeze) both samsung and google TTS (although I didn't really wanted, but OK). Then I get a hand icon in the notification area with "talkback activated". Ok, FINE. I'm using Flashlight Notifier (which flashes the camera LED) and it seems to be somehow working, except that it leaves the (camera) LED turned on continuously!!!
I seems that there's some other option to flash the soft buttons backlight but it needs some very old (I think GB) ROM and I'm not going there. For what is worth I'm on a stock new JB with speedmod kernel.
In short, any solution that "just works", getting extremely frustrated with all the stupid problems I run into? I need notification for gmail, hangouts, sms, missed calls, nothing fancy.
Whats wrong with vibrate and message/ring tone?
This is question. So should be in Q and A thread
a. vibrate/ring disturbs people around (especially when there are at least 10-20+ notifications coming every day)
b. you might step out briefly and you might not take the phone (all the time...) with you to WC and such. Yes, some applications allow for repeat rings (like the default SMS app) but that only makes (a.) worse
I think it is good to be able to just look at the phone and see that you don't want to turn the screen on as opposed to turning the screen on, see you don't need anything from there, turn it off.
If a mod wants to move the thread please and thank you.

Thanks, interesting but not at all what I want. Just want something to blink reliably ...
There's a whole cohort of software that does that but is usually geared towards making the "real" notification LED blink in various colours and also it usually shares the talkback (samsung) bug (but I'm willing to work around it).

NoLED seems to be fine (I was thinking for a long time that on OLED it might be a good idea to have some "few pixel" notifications, although I understand there is still significant power consumption even with OLED and few pixels on).
The device still deep sleeps (at least without notification) but of course this is the type of thing liable to kill the battery overnight.
Still, it works great and for most notifications I need it doesn't even need talkback (that's a big plus because I don't have to freeze TTS). And it looks great! Will report later or tomorrow how things go, with my luck I'll run into some issues in no time.
wow

The battery drain was extra 2-3% while me and the phone were sleep from 10pm to 6am. Acceptable. Good. With setting - noled always on and battery % while charging on.
Thanks.

lol, maybe they obtimized it, that is good news if true. The wakelock occurs when not charging btw.
Thank you everyone!
NoLED is great for now, battery life is good, it catching all I want (maybe except hangouts) without enabling accessibility and is better than I dreamt.
Maybe, maybe a little concerned with display life now (it looks like there is still some kind of backlight, not only the small icons) but overall it looks good!
Maybe some option to blink the camera LED would still be good but you can't have everything.
Hi!
As i wrote, the screen just turning on without doing nothing.
I'm not touching...Only move it within my palms and the screen turnes on.
Anyone heard about that?
Your help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
It's called ambient display. Makes your screen turn on when the phone is moved after your screen turns off.
Basicly a replacement for the lack of a led light(talking non rooted non custom rom here)
OR.. it could also be an app, thats turning your screen on. there are many apps that do this, you should read your apps permissions.
Just turned off ambient display.
But...does it mean that now I wont get any notifications during phone at sleep?
Tnx!
Ambient display doesn't use much extra battery, it only illuminates the pixels its displaying and it keep the phone in a low power state.
It is your phone's stock visual notification system, so yes if you turn it off you won't get any visual notifications. If your phone is set to vibrate or make notification noises it will still do that. The phone does have an LED behind the speaker, so if you are rooted you can install something like lightflow to use your phone's LED for notifications instead/as well.

I don't use light flow, but I have heard of many having issues using that app. what I use is s ROM that allows for colored notifications, then I set my colors within the ROMs options. BTW, pure nexus ROM.

oh snap, I just realized this is the same guy who was posting in the lightflow tutorial thread and was told how to do it multiple times.
He does not have "run all commands as root" check in the settings, and insist its not an option. He just needs to go through the settings and enable that like the popup window when you first launch light flow tells you.
You gotta look through your settings man. I don't know what else to tell you, I don't use that app anymore but I have. And unless you go through all the options in the settings menu... The app isn't going to be able to write to the kernels file system to turn the light on.
Maybe I'll just flash the pure nexus ROM.
I just dont get how to use this App.
Tnx!
I don't want to sound mean but if you Cant figure an app out I don't think you should be flashing ROMs

He said in another thread that he bought it... but that doesn't matter. I don't and I used it via the options I stated to have LED notification for basic stuff.
I have a question regarding ambient display. I know how it works and all that stuff, however, how many time the phone wakes up with the black/white screen? Because mine gets a notification, it shows it to me then without doing nothing it shows the notification again and again, every minute I guess for a long time. Is this normal?
Yes thats normal. Just like a notification LED will stay on, Ambient Display will show every now and again until you acknowledge the notification in case you missed it. Again, it uses almost no battery to do this, I have used the phone with it on and with it off and never really notice a difference.
