The search is on for an App that does LED notifications. I'll try and keep this thread updated as the search continues.
Wish List:
- no LED on while charging (so it can be used for notifications)
- Red Blink for missed call
- Blue Blink for new text
- Green blink for new email
Can't be hard. This was the most amazing thing ever for my Blackberry. There's a video on youtube, i'm not yet "allowed to post links" so here goes...

I've seen red and blue, but not a green led.
When do u see the blue LED light?
Colored trackball was single handedly my FAVORITE feature on my Blackberry, my Sidekick and my NexusOne.
You would think they would make the notification light a BIT easier to control.... But you had to root the Nexus One just to be able to control them.
If people are making apps to mimic notification LEDs for the other Galaxies, I think its only a matter of time until a dev makes a nice LED notification app.

When the battery has charged fully (which seems to be 95% ).
So has anything been found allowing customizable led notifications? I'm running Nebula 1.0.7 and I'm not sure if it's just the rom, DK28, or whatever that does not seem to have an led notification setting. Unless I'm just that incompetent to not be able to find it... I just checked my brother's stock Epic, and the led notifications are in the sound/display settings but it's not on my phone.
I was having a hard time getting any led notifications with anything but the stock sms app. I had to open the custom color option in handcent to get my led to blink. Sadly I can't get handcent, go sms, or sms popup to give me a blue led no matter what I do. Also, I used the led test menu by using the dialer code and I can't get a green led. I'm assuming the epic is without one, but I can get purple to come up.
Samsung only put a blue and red led, which significantly limits our led colors (red, blue or purple)
I tried running handcent to get an led notification for my text messages, but I couldn't get anything, even when I used simply red at normal blinking speed. Any suggestions of what to do?
Uh with any DK28 rom I run (running midnight rom right now) I can set my led blue for incoming txts in go sms and it works fine. I tried gettin the purple led to work but no luck

I've actually just tried getting it to flash purple and it worked. I was using Handcent and under the setting > notification settings > notification settings > color of led > green
I recently started using Go SMS (similar to handcent, but I like the UI better) and was able to set my incoming SMS notifications to blink blue, while emails etc still blink red. If anything, it's a start. I haven't tried to squeeze a purple out of it.
bump.
I'm mainly looking for LED notifications to work while the phone is charging. Seems there should be something simple to keep the charge LED state from overriding any LED notifications. Flip it around to make notifications take priority over charge state.
Try NoLED from the market. I use it for that same purpose. It doesnt use the LED itself, but displays an icon of the type of notification. Default are SMS, calls and email, but you can "monitor" other types of notifications and will display the icon for that app. Icons skip around the screen so you wont have to worry about burning LEDs.

I'm aware of the app, but since the Epic has a hardware LED that does work, I'd like to see someone figure it out. If I knew anything about android I'm sure I could poke around, but I don't know really where to start.
Plenty of phones have LEDs and I dont think any of them do what you ask for.

droid 1 did, and you didn't even have to root it.
I had orange for my SO, purple for best friend, green for email, blue for texts, white for for missed calls. red for low battery, which i could set myself.
Hmmm, I have an Epic, I think I will take a look into doing this.
i would love to see this too on the epic. before i upgraded to froyo i only had the red led notification after froyo i have both red and blue. i do miss this from my bb...berrybuzz was cool as ish!!!
Well I know how to turn the LEDs on and off via the cmd line, might be another way to do it using an available method within the SDK so that we do not need root to accomplish this.
The app to control this needs to run as a service so it can control the state of the leds, controling how long the light flashes, what color it flashes, the pattern, etc.
The good side of this is I am pretty sure I can make the app indicate all three notifications, meaning go to red, then to blue, then to purple which would indicate a text message, email, and missed call. I will work on this a little tomorrow if I get time and hopefully more on Sunday with a hopeful test version out this Monday maybe?

Hey, is there anyway to control the color of the LED notification light? It seems to flash green when i have a text i think?
Yup. Download the GoSMS app and under settings you can change the LED notification to anything you want.
If you want to keep using the stock SMS app, there are other apps in the Market that allow you to just control the LED colors.
I just installed "Light Flow Lite - LED Control"...will let you know how it works out.
I'm usin NUT's .757 firmware and GOSMS to control my messages notification led and XBlast Xposed Module to control my main notification led (like missing calls), like i used in .136 firmware.
But when i test the led notification, in GOSms notification test, or just sending messages to my own phone, the color and frequency of led works for about a couple seconds, then it changes to default (white color and kinda low frequency). So the system ignores my apps configurations after a while.
How can i bypass this and make the led follow the apps instructions?

U have stamina mode on right? it makes the led go white. try this xposed module and should fix that.

I can't believe that it was juststamina mode. And i thought that it was kitkat..Thank you very much!!
EDIT: I'll take this thread to ask another question: there is any way to use Xposed module "Xposed LED control" to control led of missing calls? Which app it would be?

Ur welcome but u should thank @itandy
he made a wonderfull fix to the stupid white led notification with stamina on.
for missed call, that is probably either phone or recent call.
How do you activate the led notifications in the custom roms ?, with an app or with internal code?.
There's rooted apps that have LED control...The blacked out notification screen is supposed to supersede a LED notification.

With Oreo, they seem to be on for all apps by default. Apps and notifications are the settings, naturally.
Hi.
I have bought a new PLay couple days before and i don't have Gmail LED notifications, think Viber and WA too.
Is there any way to release them or not?
All is properly setted
I use an app called LED Blinker pro. It's great. It lets you configure the LED colour and sound for any app on your phone.
Tnx.
I'll try it, but what is a purpose of a built in LED if i must use 3rd app to operate
You don't need a third [party] app to flash the led on WhatsApp.
Check you've not disabled them in the app or the phone settings.
Knowledge, all LED colors blinks when phone is in silent mode.
When it's silent, it blinks in green, red, purple... colour when some apk have been missed.
Hmm
