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 am new to HTC One, coming from S4.
Is Sense lockscreen supposed to show notifications? Light up when something happnes, like a new sms or email? I don't see this on my phone. I know there is a LED on the phone also, it lights up when I'm charing the phone, but only then. I see in the settings that there is a setting for led, it is on, but I don't see any.
How is this supposed to work on the One? Do I have to install DynamicNotifications or do you recommend anything else?
Also, I don't find any function for "Do not disturb" which can be setup to automatically silence the phone at nighttime, except for contacts I choose to whitelist. Like "Blocking-Mode" on Samsung. There isn't any?

1. Yes it will show Notifications. If you need that info, go to Settings, Security, Notification Settings and enable the appropriate ones you need...
2. The LED will blink based on the notifications you will select in the "Notification light" option in settings again. It doesn't blink for long, the blink happens only for a brief time....This is to make sure it doesn't dry your battery...
Cheers!!!
Hit thanks only if this helped you
Hmm... I cannot get this to work. When using the stock sms-app I get no notifications at all, no sound, no popup, nothing on the lock-screen. Nothing. In the app all notifications are set to on. In settings everything is set to notify on the lock screen and led is on.
When using ChompSMS, I get notification sound, but nothing on the lock-screen, except when I use the Dynamic Notifications app. There's no light in the led though.
When using gmail I get the sound, but nothing on lock screen and no led-blink. If I use Dynamic Notifications I get notified on the lock-screen, but no led-blink.
I am on 4.3 and pure stock.
How is this supposed to work? Coming from Samsung, this is very confusing. It simply won't work.
The led lights when charging though, but never on anything else.
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

I'm sure I'm missing something, but how exactly does the notification light work on this phone? I'm coming from a OnePlus 3 and I'm just baffled.
The main switch for notification dot is on and is also enabled in the apps' settings.
I have been able to get some notification lights working with the LightFlow app, but basic functions like SMS messages don't notify me at all. Fail for Discord as well. And I should not have to use a third party app, right?
Thanks!
It's a shame it's not working proplerly. Have you tried Whatsapp's in-app light notification settings?
It's still bugged, for everything else it's actually fine, just for the sms message app it comes on once upon recieving an SMS then goes off rather than a continuous blink. I read in one of the old CN firmwares they fixed it, but nowhere in the WW firmware is it mentioned.
I've noticed there's no option for vibration on notification led. What's going on here!, the most important small details are missing.
Notification light of Rog symbol can be accessed by opening Armoury crate app- Console tab-system lightings- advanced settings- notification
