Long time lurker of XDA from many many years!
Question: does the hardware support different LED colors? I'm not familiar with the technology. Mine only shows Red and Green. Are there any apps that might enable custom colors or is it hardware limited?
Thanks.
Thats it no more....
Yup. Hardware limitations. Some things (like light flow) will also give you an orange color option by combining the red and green light together.
Which app works on the Xperia ZR to change the notification LED colour? I tried Light Flow but when the screen is locked, the LED only flashes white using the standard Sony process which is uselss as you can hardly see it. When you unlock the screen, Light Flow works and will change the LED colour and frequency but there's no point then.
Don't need anything fancy or full of options, just a simple app to change the colour.
I use Illumination Bar. Works great.
Thanks, I'll try that tonight, didn't realise it works on the ZR as it says it's for S/P/U Xperia's only.
What about dropping a line to the dev of flowlight? He could fix it perhaps...
Dear all,
i had purchased new xperia sp, i am having some query

What so u mean that u made the brightness zero.
Did u used the slider bar in the display setting.
If yes then it will not make the screen black as it is not practical.
And what do u mean by the colour combination not correct.

Different phones do different things - doubt it's a bug - you can install screen filter apps to further reduce brightness (I use one for phone use in the dark).
The orange/yellow photos that the camera on this phone takes is a well known feature of the SP...
About our led, i got the app light flow but i cant understand why it uses only 3-4 colours! Red blue and green led colours are in our device so theoretical it can produce every colour with some combinations of those 3 colours. So my question is, is the app not getting all out of our led or does the hardware have a problem?
P.S. the colours I've managed to get out of are red, blue, green and light blue

The answer is that the three single color LEDs are not merged in an RGB LED. They are distinct. Their intensity control is also EXTREMELY poor, which makes them effectively ON/OFF LEDs rather than ones you can blend at varying intensities. Means that the best you can hope for is the following combinations;
RED (red) = FF0000
GREEN (green) = 00FF00
BLUE (blue) = 0000FF
RED+GREEN (yellow) = FFFF00
RED+BLUE (purple) = FF00FF
GREEN+BLUE (teal) = 00FFFF
RED+GREEN+BLUE (white) = FFFFFF
Except, of course, that the colors won't blend together in the case of compound colors, so the "white" will actually appear as distinct red, green, and blue.
This is great stuff here, gonna download Lightflow and set this up as ASAP.
A lot of the ROMs are supporting the LED light by default now. I am using AOSiP RC-3 on N6 and it has LED Notification built into it. Highly configurable per app as well.

does it support only RGB or can you mix the colours?

it has the standard color picker and I have some non-standard colors set (like orange for G+ notifications). See Picture Here
Hi, I have question regarding the notification led.
I have set it to green for notification and red for warnings but I still see sometimes blue light for notifications, why? Is there also any method to change colors for different apps? And if I get 2 notifications from 2 different apps with diffetrent colors what then? Who has priority or maybe it will blink in 2 colors one after another? (that would be great)
