[Q] Capacitive buttons

Hi mates..
Currently I own an HTC Flyer, been an HTC fan and would like to try this beast as it seems amazing, one thing though:
Is it possible to use the capacitive buttons as a notification LED? Thats the only thing why I would prefer the Galaxy Nexus over this as in every other aspect I think this beast wins easily..
Much appreciated, thanks..

Good question. If you could flash the capacitive buttons when you have a pending message that would be cool. But I don't know sorry. Just supporting this question.
I'm thinking though that those lights aren't as efficient as a normal LED? Too much battery usage?

I have a Samsung captivate, which has similar buttons. certain kernels would include this feature with an app called BLN. Had to be baked into the kernel to work though

The streak had an app called streakled which worked as long as the phone was rooted.

Just only root? cause the post above you says it has to be in the kernel..
Thanks for the reply mate

It is possible use the NoLed app for notification on the amoled display.

yes, just root. But there may have been differences in the way the captivate and the streak handled capacitive buttons which would allow the streak to have just root access but require kernel changes for the captivate. However, I dont know enough about such things to say what.

Hi, generally, it's possible using app called BLN control. However, that app requires a kernel support which is not yet stable for Note AFAIK.
I'm currently using NoLED which I do recommend - it works very well apart from a few glitches here and there (sometimes, the power button will not activate lock screen when NoLED notification is active - it would turn NoLED notification on/off. In that case I just have to use home button instead).
I would probably prefer BLN as it's simpler and should offer some battery saving against NoLED (possibly negligible) so I hope somebody makes a stable BLN patch for kernel. OTOH NoLED displays differently coloured icons for various events which is nice.

Hi mate thanks for the reply
Do you know if BLN works with CF-Root kernel?as that might be the only kernel I would flash on my Note when I have it..
EDIT: a quick question: does BLN work with lock replacements apps eg. WidgetLocker? I noticed that NoLED only work with stock lock..
Thanks again

As I said, one of the devs tried the BLN patches but said the kernel was then unstable so they are not included in any of the currently available kernels AFAIK.
I'm currently on Abyss 1.2 kernel and I can so far highly recommend it. Let's see in a few days.

I can't confirm that. I'm using WidgetLocker and my NoLED notifications work fine (just tested with a missed call). The only slight hiccup is that after you wake up the screen with the notification the stock lock screen is shown instead of WidgetLocker. I've got a feeling there is probably a way around this - spotted a HomeHelper in the WidgetLocker settings that should handle the Home button in certain situations (presumably like this one). Haven't been bothered enough to mess with these settings yet

Thanks alot mate, really appreciate it

LED / Notification Bar Apps

Hello i flashed eXistenZ today on my phone and i have everything running smooth except the ledsthe phones led flash too much and sometimes they are on all the time.
I use light flow to control the leds but it wont change the color or the flashing frequency.
Is there a way to see which system app controls the led bar and disable it ???
Thank you very much.

Illumination Bar (pro) is the best application in my opninion. It has a lot of settings and is compatible with our device.
I believe Lightflow is only for the devices with 1 led.

Having 3 different colors
@mrjraider does Illumination Bar Pro allows you to modifie the colors of the three leds? Like when you boot with CWM who light Green Blue and Red led except of having one single color.

nope

No it only uses the three leds with the same colour on. Only root and special apps can do this for example discolight somewere in the themes and apps section.

Lightflow now suports 3 leds, just make sure you´ve checked illumination bar in settings. For me works great

It was not working for me so I got rid of it Now I have no application installed and just using the sony settings

a lot have changed since then i flashed 4.4.2 Aopk and not im running a smooth and stable system... but the leds seem to be buggy with discolight because everytime i check "Music Pulse" the leds stay on in full brightness i have to figure this one out.As for lightflow i hadnt much time to mess with it yet ill reply when i do

LED notification

Hi
I have a i8190n with offical rom 4.1.2.
I would like use some LED notification apication (BLN or something else). I would like install only some LED application, not new ROM.
Can you help me?
Thank you

Wrong section btw...
You have to use rom/kernel whitch supports BLN for example CM!!
Without that no BLN

[Q] Enable all LED when using AOSP-based roms

I've been searching around to find any app that can enable all three led in xperia SP when using aosp-based custom roms.
There have beend suggestion to use app like light flow but on my phone the ilumination part is greyed out. Hence only the middle LED lights up.

Did you tried the illumination bar notification app? It's an special app for xperia phones with light bar.
In the general settings you can choose your phone.
Good luck
