Okay I know everyone knows that their Droid 3 has a LED notification light, but if anyone can answer this question, help me out. Does the modification of the LED flash speed and when the light is on (meaning its on while the screen is on) require some type of custom kernel, or just a custom ROM. I've tried multiple LED notifcation apps, and none of them can change the flash rate (even though I set it to different values). I would like to get to the point of adjusting the flash rate, and make it so more important notifications light up all the time (like the 10% battery notification) but I have no idea how to change this. Thanks to anyone that can help me out or at least lead me in the right direction.

I would assume that they're just not compatible. When I get a mention with Tweetdeck I get a yellow light, and a blue one with Plume so I would think if a color could be changed, so could the blink rate.
I have this app called "Light flow - LED control". It basically lets you change the colour of the notification LED for each individual app, as well as setting the blink duration (not blink rate, unfortuately). It does, however, require root. Try the lite version to see if it is what you are looking for.
There is another app that allow you to set blink rate, which is called "Blink - Flash LED in your way". It didn't work as expected for me but I didn't play about with it much.
Hope that helps.

i dont think it requires root. i had it on my phone before i was rooted for the same reasons but i couldn't get it to work with gosms (i would have to disable gosms from blocking other notification apps and that messed up the sms timestamp for some reason) but it's a good app in general. our phones get most of the colors though i could never get the light to stay on for low battery.
all in all i think its a cool app but won't provide what you're looking for.
I have used light flow before, and the color support is fine. You can 'change' the flash rate on light flow, but it doesn't actually change the rate, im guessing there's some kind of software, or possibly a hardware restriction.. I've been looking around all of my system files and can't find anything related to the LED. Let me know if you find anything guys.
It is a software problem. CM7 did work better v

Hey fellas,
i didn't find any quite interesting LED mods / apps.
Tbh, we have this great light on the bottom, but it's quite useless if not for the notifications.
Where are the apps that would let me configure the light like i wish?
So for instance, if i'm unlocking my phone, playing around, writing messages, whatever, i would love to see
the light configurable?
It's just for the music and picture albums at the moment. And like i said, for the notifications in standby.
What i'm saying about "configurable" is, that it should be offer different options like a colorchanging mode, so all of the RGB colours would be changing over time like a rainbow? I don't know what exactly the possibilities are in terms of a smooth transition with this light but i think it would be looking really good.
Quite an eyecatcher. But i couldn't believe that no one has ever done such a thing for android phones. At least for lights compatible for the xperia.
Or did i miss something?
I would do it myself but i've got no real coding skills.
All i can write is plaintext and maybe "hello world"

Hey mate, Light Flow just offers me some options for configuring the already included lights like for messages or missed calls.
I'm looking for more advanced stuff like a smooth color transition (if possible) while the display is on or something like that.
Would be also interesting what the LED is capable of. It's just one LED right? So mixing colors would be hard, but if some possibilities are there, why not using it ?
The device is still very young but maybe there are or will be coming some apps or mods, even if they are integrated on some roms.

Hi all,
I want to have a LED notification with Gmail. So I tried Light Flow and LED Manager from store. But both are not working.
Did somebody try to change LED color?
I was able to turn on led notification for gmail with Light Manager Pro 12.1.7, but I'm unable to change color (it's already blue for gmail).

Did you try Light Flow? If not, would you mind to try if you can?
Someone replied to my thread on the same matter last week and said it was working fine as long as you use the basic colors given by the app.
I tried to install it on a device in a shop via apk, but the damn retail demo that I couldn't manage to uninstall/deactivate prevented me from locking the screen to allow a test run (it's a feature in the settings of light flow).
Btw I got an answer from the developers of both LightManager and LightFlow and they told me P20 Pro is not fully compatible with these apps, but I don't know what "not fully" means in terms of what we can and can't do.

Light flow didnt seem capable of setting the color correctly. For instance... the led color just kind of cycled a few colors when I set a particular notificationc olor to blue.
LightManager seems to work so far... but blue is very dim.
Both require a persistent notification. Will see how that affects battery.
Edit: Annoyingly enough, after seeing lightmanager works, I decided to pay the dev for the full version... which does not work. Somehow.

Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Damn... I was hoping to get at least a smooth run, working basic colors and no persistent notification.
I’ll give it a go again in another store by installing light manager before giving up and going with the S9+.
I paid for the full Light Flow version and it still isn't working for my P20 Pro. Guess we gotta wait for full compatibility

I gave up using Light Flow a few months ago but tried again today, out of curiosity, and it works! I recently updated the P20 Pro firmware to v8.1.0.156 (C432), don't know if it started working with this version or the one before.
Hi guys, I'm just about to buy the P20 Pro, but I have a question.
RGB LED's notification are fundamental for me, I don't want the AOD, but I want to know what kind of notification I have on the phone just by looking at it, like I do now on my G4 (red for gmail, green for whatsapp, blue for messenger, etc.).
I've been playing with the P20 Pro in a couple of occasions, but I couldn't find anything in the setting about changing the led color.
Also, anybody tried using the app Light Manager? It's the one I have on the G4, works perfectly, I sent a email to the developer and he told me that right now it is NOT fully compatible, but I didn't have a chance to actually try.
Thanks a lot!
Will
Mine only seems to show white or green..
Tried the app and seems like every color predefined works perfectly. I use Light Flow to get more options.

Great news then, so now I’m wondering if the P20 Pro is able to use the full Rgb capabilities or if we need something like light flow to unleash them...
Btw, even if if it shows the base colours of LM, it’s good enough for me.
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Im used to the led light on my previous samsung phones. The s10 doesn't have one but people were asking samsung to implement the camera cut out light, others made apps and one that was interesting that was the AOD would activate only when there was a notification to open.
As im looking to switch to the s10, are there news on the implementation of the notification light or new apps? Do the current apps work well?
Thank you!
If you're only looking for an LED notification, Samsung has updated the Edge Lighting + settings within the Good Lock app to create an notification ring to display around the camera cut out. I have it set on my phone and it performs exactly to my liking.

I have read and seen videos on it when it was released but it only worked for a few seconds when the notification showed up and didn't keep "blinking" like the led/until you seen or open the notification. Its still like that right?
I'm not 100% sure about that. I rarely see my notifications right away and generally check my phone when I get back to my desk when at work.
Holey Light on the play store...
I have read that holey lights uses quite a bit of battery, i wanted something that didn't use as much.
There was this AOD app that would only show when there was a notification but i don't know how well it works
