[Q] Questions about LED notifications.

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

XXperia Z notification Led colors?

I know RGB is there..But i have seen pink/purple, Orange
May i know is it multi-color and what apps can be used to change each?

i've only seen orange/red and green....how did you see the others?

Try an alternative LED application like Light Flow or Led Blinker. Cheers!

You can have like any color that you want, the only thing is that you can barely change the color of the led per ap. You can with 3rd party aps though.
When you go into WhatsApp settings you can change the LED color for that ap.

Thats great..means its multi-color...May i know what the basic colors signify?
Green = Fully charged...and rest?

Orange = charging
Red = low battery
Purple = cwm / whatsapp
I think its green / purple for SMS.

You can see/test LED colours under Whatsapp's settings! There are 7 different colours :angel:

Yup there are 7 different colors on WhatsApp, but there is only 1 LED, so you should be able to make what ever color you want.

Most likely to be carrier specific mods

I have an unlocked XZ

I have NO leds at all, only while charging and such, but none for texts or such (sms), bug ?

Hi guys,
Found out my phone can't show the led while in Stamina mode. I read somewhere that you can still have the led going even with Stamina mode if you use a third party app to manage the led and set that app in the stamina mode's white list. Tried Light Flow but it didn't work.
Anyone got lucky with an app?

Rango advised Light Flow or LED Blinkers apps. I don't know about Blinkers as i have not used them, but Light Flow is superb, maybe a bit too complicated, to much settings, but it's great, only thing is that you need to have the paid version, as Lite does not support custom apps.

Nothing works for me

Light Flow on Xperia TX JB

Has anyone been able to use Light Flow or any other LED control app on the Xperia TX since it got the JB update? I had been using Light Flow fine on ICS previously but now can't get it to activate the notification light which I have grown accustomed to

Which app did you use?
Sent from my LT29i using xda app-developers app

Have tried Light Flow and Light Manager but haven't been able to get it to work. Phone is rooted too.

I am currently using Light Flow on my Xperia T. Have you granted it permission through accessibility settings?
PS. It is a major battery hogger!

Yes I have done that, seems odd. Funny that, I have noticed much better battery life since going to JB :laugh:

Well i dont know what else to say other than uninstall it, reboot and install the latest version. Haha well it's always one of the top apps in battery stats.

Working in my Xperia TX
Sorry to know that but it's working perfectly on my Xperia TX in spite of being upgraded to Jelly Bean (Android 4.3).
Make sure the access to notification is turned on in Settings>Security>Notification Access. See if 'Light Flow Light' is checked.
And also make sure all the settings of the Light Flow is set correctly.
Try formatting your phone and installing back the app. If still not working, it may be because you rooted the device.
If you use Light Flow Lite just for the LED notifications of some apps, try the app from Play Store which works better for this purpose in Xperia phones ie. 'Illumination Bar Notification' and after installing it, set the device model to 'Other' in the General Settings of the new app.
I use Light Flow Light just for the Network Signal LED and very few more things as it has no LED control over apps like WhatsApp, Skype etc. in the free version.

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

[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.
Currently running [KK 4.4.4] Paranoid-neXus on my XSP

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
