App for LED SMS notification - HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to get my LED indicator to light up when I receive a SMS. Coming from a Blackberry, I really loved the feature. Are there any roms that include this feature already?
Thanks,

I'm assuming there is not an app developed to do this?

Incredible 2 Notification LED?

Is the notification LED on the Inc S/2 RGB?
No .. so far all i ve seen is orange and green .. i ve had mine for about a month
Unfortunately not, I tried a couple apps to test it but it is only green and orange.
The apps probably need to update to support the dirc2

I am thinking the LED itself is just a dual LED... Orange and Green, no RGB.
No RBG on a newer android phone, in a world where led notification color options are almost a basic... doesn't seem logical. My girl just got the I2 after having a blackberry for the last two years, and THIS is her biggest disappointment with the phone so far. It HAS to be RBG!!! :/
Im pritty sure i seen the deadly color red... Or was that orange as well?
Will keep an eye on it

I agree. I think the more impressive part about it is that they stuck two LEDs in there (Green and Orange), but didn't bother to just put a single RGB (which I realize is actually three LEDs) for a much better experience. It seems a little lazy.
Hawkysoft - Pretty sure it was just orange.
^Lol. Lazy seems to be like the only possible solution here.
Quite Incredible, that a phone with the capabilities of an incredible s has no RGB led(s).
wat do u think HTC would have lost by adding this
go figure
If u ask me id say htc was soooo busy securing their nand lock that they forgot the difference

It actually makes sense ... Morons are forgeting what is important and focusing on what they want ... What do they expect us to do with only two colours?

I would guess it's 99% certain that it only has amber and green as all HTC phones since the HTC desire seemed to have been like that.
If anyone wants to confirm, install my app (light flow lite) from the market. Run the app with an SD card in your phone and PM me with the details of the /sdcard/lightflow/tmp/led-ls-output.txt
I don't think my app actually works on the latest htc phones such as this one so I'm guessing they may have changed their permissions on executing the led files.
Pmed you.

Thanks. I can confirm the led's that it has:
green
amber
lcd-backlight
button-backlight-portrait
button-backlight-landscape
flashlight
Obviously out of that list only green and amber are used for the notification light and the rest are for controlling button lights, the screen and the flash.

I assume we can still use light flow with just those?

Sorry, forgot to subsribe to the thread. It seems that they've changed the permissions of getting access to controlling the files. I've got a test build at the moment that may work with it, but only for rooted users as it needs to "su" to the unix shell instead of "sh" like the current market version does.
If anyone wants to give the new dev version of light flow a try PM me and I'll e-mail a version to somebody with root access to try.

I'll test it with temp root. But can't test more than that until xtc clip supports Inc 2.

App to disable captive buttons

Is there an app that can disable the lights in the captive buttons?
I still want them to be functional, I just don't want them on.

I'll second this, from a theming point of view, this would be a desirable thing to have... perhaps someone could suggest a hack instead
I was about to suggest this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.geekherd.softbuttonshack
however it is clearly stated that this is not possible on the Nexus S
*ALERT: The Samsung Nexus S will NEVER be supported. Not because I don't want to, but because it is not possible, I own one and I have tried and tried. Samsung (or Google) have decided that the bottom LEDs will always be on as long as the display is on, powered at the same time. Obviously breaking a few APIs as well as the ability to turn those LEDs off based on the light-sensor.*

[APP] StayAwake - Keep Screen On While USB Is Connected

Handy (and free!) little app that allows users to keep their phone's screen on, while the USB cord/charger is connected.
I realize this is rapidly becoming a built-in feature on most of the ROMs currently being released, but those on older builds/stock ROMs may find it useful.
StayAwake Market Link: StayAwake
I personally know that this app will work with ComRom (but I believe this fix has been implemented in the latest version)
Note: (I did not develop this app. In no way do I take credit for it.)
That's a feature on stock roms too. Its in settings, applications, development.

Yeah, I know that most of the stock and Dev-released ROMs for our phones have this option, but when 2.2.1 was initially released it was missing this feature. Also, going forward there are bound to be WIP ROMs released that might not have this option built in during test/beta releases.
Thought it was worth a mention for those that value this feature (and also like to flash experimental/incomplete ROM builds)

Is that a stock 2.2.2 option... seems like its not on my friends fascinate...
Be careful when leaving any amoled screen on for long durations with any kind of static images. I remember my store display started to burn-in on day two.

Other notification options...?

Hello,
My cousin has upgraded from a feature phone to a droid 3, but she hates the way her notifications appear. What app or apps could she use to give her more options. Any recommendations?
Hello ladies and gentlemen,
I know that some of you have a lot of experience, so please drop a line or two and give me a tip. Please and thank you.
You can't really change the way notifications come in...

SMS Popup by Adam K is one of my favorites
Or a combination on Go Launcher EX and GO Notifications is cool Somewhat iphoneish
Pretty much all i know of at the moment.
Thank you, I'll pass those links along to her. Again, thank you for your time .
Android arguably has the best notification system available. Why she'd want to downgrade to archaic iOS style notifications is beyond me.

Sound Profiles?

I am looking for a way to turn notifications off automatically during night hours on stock ROM.
Is there any option in Sense 5?
Looking for not installing other apps. I've purchased Sound Profiles in the past for earlier phones, but with AOSP etc I stopped using other apps and was looking for inbuilt options in the ROM.

I haven't seen an option, but I didn't look to thoroughly. I use Tasker to accomplish that.
I know I could use multiple additional things...
HTC - if yo aure listening, this should be a must..

I was told by HTC to tell them about your suggestions here. Make noise on things and features you want. I submitted this very same idea... I'm with you. The more they hear about it, the better our chances:

Yeah there are many fancier routes with each it's merits but I was hoping to get an out of the box feature like CynogenMod
