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...
Im just realise that on my whatsapp i set the colour of notification to yellow, then when i get new message, its not blinking yellow, only white colour (in STAMINA MODE)
then i try to turn off STAMINA MODE, it can blink yellow LED, so anyone know how to override the setting so that it can blink different colour in STAMINA MODE? i try to exclude from STAMINA MODE, but sadly it dont turn yellow. by the way, im using stock rom 4.3, fully root
I use a 3rd party app called Light Manager.

It allows you to change notification light for different apps as well as blinking rate. It works with Stamina mode enabled and not added to its white list.

I already try it, but when STAMINA mode, the colour of LED change back to white. when i off the STAMINA mode, its blink back to normal
Are you on 4.3? I just enabled Notification access for the app under security in Settings, and the app works fine in Stamina mode.
If that don't work, I can only suggest maybe give Light flow a try.

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
Hi,
to get custom led notifications you need a rooted P2 and Light Flow (find it on google apps)
I want to thank Andrew Moore (Light Flow)for taking the time to look at this with me and pointing me in the right direction
New (upcoming) version of Light Flow supporting "large" numbers for RGB led brightness will be available soon. Otherwise you may want to edit the backup file as per this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/vibe-p1/how-to/led-fix-custom-roms-t3569108
1>Disable led notifications on you device (Display)
In Light Flow
1> enable Direct mode and root
2> enable rgb led
3> set the rgb brightness to any the following for your notification:
Bright red:13631488
Pale Blue:6316128
Crabapple Red (pink):11796512
Orange:12607488
Green: 35840
Cyan Blue: 32896
Sea Blue: 8388
Dark Purple : 3876477
Before Andrew put me in the right direction, I tried different brightness levels with mixed success. As you see from above, the numbers have no logical sense (at least to me).
If you do find additional colors, please post them in this thread.
HAPPY CUSTOM LED NOTIFICATIONS EVERYONE
Here are the "reference colors"
Works also on custom roms.Thanks for the guide!
Thanks for making the LED work! But I'm stuck at the brightness levels part... In the notification settings per app, under the light settings, I can only set 4 numbers and you give a whole lot more. What am I doing wrong?

As I said, light flow at the moment only supports 4 . Andrew (the maker of light flow) will update the app asap. If you are in a hurry., use the backup/modify./restore method mentioned in the first post. Just change the brightness level. It works.
Hi, any chance to set the red color too (the red color the LED shows when charging)?
Found it in the first post Sorry!
Useful 10x.
Thanks for the tip and tutorial, I got a bit confused on where to set the RGB colors (in the individual notifications) but it's working well now. Also the battery charged threshold was set at 90% by default so it popped up as green when I plugged in at 92%
It is only working in Test for me. Can someone send détailled settings?
Thanks
Did you make sure it was active? If it is you'll see a notification in the pull-down list.
This is really cool, definitely will use a custom Rom because of Light Flow.
Working thanks
Could someone tell me where I insert the RGB values?
I have a rooted Lineage 14.1, but all I can select is one colour with RGB enabled...
There is only one colour available per application, ie e.g. Signal has blue (which works), agenda as well, but Gmail has black... And that's not showing of course
Edit: I edited the settings manually and imported them again as suggested in the opening post, we'll see how that goes...
Does it work with free version of Lightflow?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlegacy
Works for me with the legacy version. But there is also a "light" version of the newest release.
Currently, I see heavy battery drain due to light flow; the device never goes to sleep. Maybe, this is different with the light version... I will try.
Edit: same battery drain issue with the light version...
This does not seem to work with the latest version of the app(I even bought pro). I followed all the steps but it never works. Is there something I'm missing? after enabling rgb control i setup a notification and in the setting's light tab i enable the light and set the rgb LED to solid and set the color to one given in the first post(none of them seem to work). I then use the test button but LED does not turn off(tried both - turning screen off and keeping it on). Any Help?
@Uibon
Me neither.
Edit: Legacy is working, but only when screen is off. I'm rooted of course rooted (Magisk) and I have the "screen on" option ticked.

The title says stock?
Those of you who reported it working, does it work when the screen is on as well?
Edit: Missed calls, incoming call and other things related to the system is working when screen is on. With Textra (and other apps?) it only works when screen is off.
Thanks for the instructions and links.
I bought the app (Just Rs 10).
Cant be more worthy purchase.
All working good.
