Does anyone know of a flashlight app that uses the LED camera light? Most of the ones I found in the market use the screen.
Tiny Flashlight + LED works for me.

Thanks, works here.
Anyone know of an app that combines use of the flash and a text scroller?

Only problem with that app is the fact that the app is not very tiny...
I've just released Tiny Flashlight 3.0. Check out the new widgets!

The problem with the tesla and tiny is it shuts off as soon as you put the display in sleep. Its a pain trying to focus on something in the dark when you have light pointing at you

I agree that it should stay on like droid light when you lock the phone. Its annoying cause I need a light that does not turn off when Im working on cars at night.
i just download Tesla Flashlight and it has an option to stay on when the screen is off and it works fine
telsa is the very best man, youll love it!
Anyone know an app like Torch ( since it doesn't work on ARHD 5.x.x )
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

This app makes it just a bright as stock flashlight...
I want to overclock the LED!! just like Torch app
He is talking about torch from Cyanogenmod that has an "superbright" option.
-----------------------------
Theres an app called Nexus Torch that allows you to do that bright option.

My phone dies when I start this app in High Brightness
No the screen goes off, you have to press in the same place to get it back.
Because I think it takes the voltage from the LCD and gives it to the LED to make it brighter.
Nexus torch doesn't work proper too :'( doesn't anyone knows a good alternative i'm not only one using it am i!?!
disco light app, free in the market
Bump cause I want to know this The Nexus One torch makes my LED blink every couple of seconds (no, strobe is not on) but it doesn't do this in cyanogen. Running ARHD and would love an overclocked LED
Doesnt work for me on LeeDroid but here is the apk of the Cyanogen Torch. Might want to see if it works. Mine just force closes all the time until I uninstall it, the process somehow comes back and force closes a second time. All is fine after I uninstall it though.
Doesn't work
The Nexus One torch from the market works fine for strobe/normal brightness but high brightness has it flash on and off (about once every 2s) and turns the lcd screen off When running cyanogen, the torch.apk doesn't turn the screen off or flash.
I cant believe that there are no apps to do this. I think some of us might need to learn how to code lol
Yeah we got the APK it just needs to get fixed for the gingerbread roms because the apk i have worked on ARHD 3.x
Anyone know of a app that will let your Camera Flash blink on notification ive tried flashing alerts,flash blink, & light flow and none seem to work also please i dont want regular onscreen notification apps just want the camera flash app
Try this one.
Let me know if it works for you.

Been doing some searching, but there doesn't seem to be much info regarding the different colors and frequency of flashes that the LED notification light is capable of, depending on the notification received on the Nexus 4, so here goes.
This is just regarding the stock setup without LED modification apps, etc. So far, I have found that the LED has a few different patterns and colors depending on the type of notification that you receive. I am also wondering if there is any way to adjust the behavior of LED notification light in the stock configuration without additional apps or rooting with custom ROMs, etc. I have checked around within the settings of the different apps but aside from a few giving the option simply to use the notification light or not, it seems that it is not possible to adjust the behavior. Here are the details that I have discovered so far:
- Gmail, stock email app, stock text messaging app, others? - White LED, flashes once every 10 seconds
- Google Voice messages, Ebay app, Official Twitter app - Green LED, flashes once every 2 seconds
- Yahoo Mail - Violet LED, flashes once every 2 seconds
- Facebook, Tasks app, Plume - Blue LED
- Flight Track app - Yellow/Orange LED
- Google Messenger, Calendar, others? - No LED notification flash
This is just what I have observed so far after about a week with this awesome phone. Feel free to add to this list based on your observations and I will update the list. Thanks!
There won't be any way to adjust these without additional apps. It's left up to each particular app to support it and pick a color.
I seem to remember the old TweetDeck app was yellow.

All apps can do different colors, but it just depends on the code. The Google+ used to use Red LED notifications, but they've since returned to using green (I think this is a step-backward, but whatever). Yahoo Mail did Purple when I last used it, and Flight Track uses Orange/Yellow. I suggest just downloading LightFlow or Rooting/Flashing a custom ROM for increased control (you can even specify blink frequency and other settings). The problem is, not many phones have had RGB LEDs, so App Devs have no reason to support them. With the GS3, New RAZRs, and the Optimus G/Nexus 4, hopefully this changes, although the LEDs seem to behave weird on some phone models, especially the RAZRs...

could the red LED be for sync error? google mail had an outage the other day.
Facebook notifications are blue on mine, which is neat.

Good to know, although I don't use Facebook right now.
My LED didn't work from the factory, installed light flow and now at least it works the way I would have wanted it to from the factory.
I wished Google + would use the red LED again. I thought it was cool with the FB blue and G+ red.
Plume (Twitter app) also is Blue by default but can be customized in the settings.
Just got an eBay notification and they use green too. I would have assumed yellow....
Edit:
Forgot to add, the flash rate is fast, like on one second, off one, then back on.

Get Lightflow:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...yYWdlY29uc3VsdGluZy5hbmRyb2lkLmxpZ2h0ZmxvdyJd
It'll take about an eon or so to set up, but once it's up and running it'll change your life. I have customized the LED notifications for all of my different accounts/apps in such a way that I rarely even turn my phone off vibrate anymore - I can tell exactly what is waiting by looking at what color(s) are displayed on the LED.
Good info and thanks for the comments! Also I am aware of light flow but am just looking at the stock setup.
Before I go with lightflow, I'm going to need to see two things. 1. Full compatibility with the N4 (there are bugs) and 2. Proof this won't drain my battery or prevent notifications from appearing. My battery isn't doing too hot and I don't need something else draining it!

One of my LEDs is dead
What color LEDs are there in there? I'm assuming RGB
I noticed my colors are off, tried several LED control apps, particularly "LED Tester", and none can get the Blue LED going. And my white is yellow. G and R are fine. Any advice beyond LED is dead?
I'm so sick and tired of QC on this phone ... I think I'm done with it. Returning for a refund, money wasted on now useless accessories, some of which are still in the mail

I prefer Light Manager. Much easier to set up. Plus notifications for charging.

Lightflow has notifications for charging. I say it's a pain to set up initially because picking a color for 41290 different notifications can take awhile, but the setup really is quite intuitive. It's been changed a lot in the last couple months - might be worth looking again some time.

I've had no issues on my Nexus 4 with it. It's never drained my battery on this nor my Galaxy Nexus. Its memory footprint is tiny and it has no reason to wakelock the phone since all it does is intercept when a notification shows up (so the other app is what actually wakes the phone). It's really well designed.

One question for you. I know that because of how light flow works, if it doesn't support an app the led won't work on that app even if that app has it's own led ability, but will the phone still display the notification (minus the light) for an unsupported app?

If you guys are rooted and installed the stock AOSP browser, for some reason Light Flow breaks it.
Once light flow is installed and permission is set in accessibility, the stock AOSP browser starts behaving badly and stops working correctly.
The autohide url bar stops working, when changed to full screen mode there is either a glitchy image at the top or a blank black area where the url bar is supposed to be. Problem completely goes away once light flow is uninstalled.
Very frustrating because I can't stand Chrome, and I need the AOSP browser + lightflow. It's either one or the other.

Have you talked about this issue in the Light Flow thread here?:

Maybe it helps to get it solved.

As far as showing up in the notification bar? Absolutely. The apps themselves control that, not lightflow.
Personally I don't have any apps that lightflow doesn't support by now, but I'm sure there's some out there.
Hello,
i would like to know if it is possible to change the brightness of the notification led.
It is very hard to notice if it is on or not, i need to pick up my xperia t to see it.
Even if it lays on the table you won't notice the led.
Am i the only one who thinks it should be brighter?
Is it possible let it be brighter?
yee i have the same problem here..its sad that you cant change colors/bright or frequency in android..
yes i know..theres some programs in market but theyre sux to be honest :<<
I agree. The led is probably the worst feature of this great phone, totally useless.
There's an app to flash the camera led when there are notifications, but if the phone is laying on the table you won't see it either.
I don't know if we can open the messenger app and change it in the code. That would be cool. I should start programming android.
