Me neither. I feel like i've seen it at green once but i can only recall red...
also i tried an led changer app, and it didnt do anything, so.. i think its safe to say that it doesnt and wont work,
its probably just a single color red LED up there anyways

its Amber/green

ah, my bad:
so then we technically should be able to make it any color in between the two?

I agree about the colors, would be nice to add some flavor. It all depends on the chip-set of the led, some have one or more with which it enables a photon beam of light to pass through.True color changing led's have several diodes incorporated into the led.

If we could get them to flash repeatedly for notifications that would be awesome

led notifications
There is is app available on the Droid market called LED me know. It doesn't support multiple colors, but it does let you change how often the LEDs flash. I just got my Aria from using a palm treo pro, I loved that I could set it to make the beacon light up. LED lets you get the LEDs at the bottom of the screen to light up. It does have faults... most task managers kill the app and it stops the home keys from lighting up sometimes. Hope this helps.

There's a hidden feature in CM7 that lets you change LED color and frequency by application. I found it searching for launchable apps in Minimalistic Text Widget. Still just red, green and orange work, however.

Notification LED control?

Are there any notification light customizers that work properly on the Vivid? I'm coming from a Desire, which natively only wanted to do green notification blinks, but LED Me Know allowed me to configure notifications so that SMS messages got an orange blink, which was handy when my phone was across the room, to see whether I had an email (green) or SMS (orange). I installed it on the Vivid and got it to work once when doing the light test, but never again.
I've noticed there are several on the Market, has anyone tried one that works?

For what it's worth, I ended up solving this with Light Flow from the Market. It seemed not to work properly at first, but after receiving a tip from the developer to enable the 'Mixer' for each notification and choose the colour there, it works just fine.

Good to know. Thanks I'll try it out.

good to know, i will definitely install this.

Does this app actually work for anyone here? I tried it with "Direct mode" enabled, "Mixer" led color and I have no led acknowledgment when I receive a sms/mms/call. I disabled "Direct mode" chose green for sms/mms/calls and when I get any of those my light never stops blinking. I've tried each setting for "clear notification style" with no luck.

It's working fine for me. Turn on the mixer, choose the LED you want, set it to hardware flashing. For my SMS, I did have to turn on the option for alternate on/off notifications because I don't use the stock messaging app. But I don't think I had to mess with 'clear notification,' I just left it on 'App Entered.'
But yeah. Working very well here.

Launch the app -> Notifications -> SMS (for example) -> Scroll down - Select 'Enable Mixer' (in the 'LED Mixer' section, right after 'Camera flash LED.'
Thanks for your input.

i have the paid version and i don't see mixer anywhere.
does not work on the HTC raider

Yea i have paid version & it doesn't work for me either.... Still. Have yet to find one that does. Trying out "Phone notifier" now from a developer here on XDA (it's listed on Android Market) but it won't keep my Vivid's led flashing either, though it plays a sound & vibrates.

Wait, are your phones rooted? I don't think it'll show up (you need to turn on Compatibility mode) unless you root.

Mine isn't rooted (yet) but I did have compatibility mode enabled. It automatically did it the first time I launched this app after recognizing it was an HTC. I had the mixed led color selected for SMS, MMS, & missed calls. None of those actually kept my led flashing after the standard 5/10 minutes the phone does standard with no extra apps. Not sure why it's so difficult on the Vivid, it wasn't on my Evo.

Good tip I've been looking for something like this!

fastest way to flashlight?

on my previous phone with cm7 i could draw patterns on the lock screen to launch apps/activities.
the only one i had was toggle flashlight.
is there anything similar that can be done with 4.4.3?
if not, any good rom to have that?
thanks

The Xposed module GravityBox allows you to have a quick flashlight shortcut. Once configured correctly, on your lockscreen you can hold down the slide to unlock ring to turn the flashlight on and off.

thanks. i still have to give xposed a try!
this will probably be the tipping point.
edit: after installing everything with flashlight on the name and without internet permission from the market, i finally found this:
https://github.com/theUltimateLabs/theUltimateFlashlight
it allows me to turn it on by pressing power button twice! xposed delayed some more
it's gpl. will recommend to fdroid.

I use "xposed torch" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.torch
and have it set for volume up= volume down=off, I like it because I don't have to turn on the screen to use it or open the flip case I use.

As you guys are talking about flashlight have you guys noticed that the app "Adjustable Torch" doesn't work with Moto X? It was the only torch app I used to use, but it doesn't support Moto X It was the only app which used the flash LED's intensity at it's highest (all other apps use a dim state of LED) and you could even control it! Damn.

Light Manager Compatiblity

Someone reported that after updated to Android 5.1.1. Missed call and Gmail LED notification does not work anymore in both normal mode and alternating mode. They are always blinking the default blue color LED.

Is there anyone having the same problem as well?

Yup, all the regular system apps controlled by the Samsung setting are always blue. It still blinks, but I can only get my added AndChat app notification to blink the orange that I have it set to. And when my phone goes into prority only at night, all notifications including my added apps are the default solid blue, doesn't even blink. Hope we get it fixed, I absolutely hate not being able to customize my LEDs.
I wonder if any apps work better with root? I am also stuck waiting on a new root method since I updated to 5.1.1 before reading about the bootloader lock.

Thanks for the info. Does Light Manager work when you disable "LED indicator" in the system settings?
Have you tried enabling Priority for Light Manager? See if when you phone goes into priority only at night, will your added apps LED still working with Light Manager?

I will try setting light manager to priority and let you know what happens.
Also, as a note, my orange AndChat notification stopped working today. It's just a solid blue all the time. I haven't changed anything - seems Samsung's LED controller is finicky about its control. Email, etc still blinks default blue.
edit: Also, forgot to answer - No, the LED doesn't work at all if I disable the LED indicator in the system settings.

Thanks for helping in testing.
I just thought of something. Is your device rooted? I'm not sure if it will work if you put Light Manager to be as system app as well?

I'm not rooted and having the same issue. I hope there is a fix for this.
Whatsapp appears to be flashing with my colors but the default system email is still lighting blue (i don't want ANY light for email) but there doesn't appear to be a way to turn it off

No problem, happy to help.
1. No change on setting to priority mode except that Gmail, etc continued to blink blue instead of solid blue. AndChat continues to be solid blue. I have no idea at one point the orange light I had it set to worked, but it's been all solid blue since yesterday morning.
2. No root, there is not currently a root method for android 5.1.1 on the S6 due to the exploit being patched. We are waiting for a new root method, hopefully soon!

Custom Color Issues
Does anyone else have an issue where the custom colors dont flash the color you chose? I got it to work once but after that it just blinks to the closest default colors... e.i. i want it to flash a celeste color but it it just blinks blue.. any help is appreciated

Yes, I have mentioned above having that problem. My added app briefly showed the colour I chose, but now everything - added and system apps - show the default blue, either blinking or solid.
Other LED manager apps are also not working. Looks like Samsung made some kind of change in 5.1.1. For now we'll have to sit tight as we are out of luck.

Too bad that there is no root method currently.
Please check if the notification access for Light Manager is enabled? I heard that some users complaining that the notification access for Light Manager will get disabled automatically when the device is rebooted.
Also try using alternating mode, I think AndChat will not work in normal mode.

What app notification are you referring to?

Does anyone with the S6 Edge on 5.1.1 have light manager working for missed calls, had it working on led blinker before the 5.1.1 update.

Yes, light manager has notification access. I think this is why some notifications are able to blink. The system default is a solid blue light. There is no issue with my phone on 5.1.1 causing the notification access to be turned off after reboot.

I rooted my S6 today on 5.1.1. I still can't get Light Manager or Light Flow to work properly even with root. Light Manager some notifications blink blue, but others stay solid blue - no reaction to custom colour changes. Light Flow will not show the LED *at all* even with "root mode" activated.

Since your device is rooted, could you please try putting Light Manager app as system app see if it works?

Still not working on s6 edge?

I am on Android 5.1.1 and I am one of the ones reporting that Light Manager no longer works.
Today, though, I did something that may provide a clue to the problem. Perhaps McKoo is reading...
I just installed the latest version of Light Manager Pro on my S6 Edge. I then configured it to my preferences and rebooted the phone. As soon as the phone came up, I used my PC to send myself a text message. Now here is the important part. As soon as the text message was received, and before the alert notification took place, my LED started blinking according to the color and speed I configured in Light Manager for SMS messages (orange, every two seconds). However, as soon as the notification process alerted me to the text message (which I am assuming is a Samsung / Android process), my LED flashing reverted back to the standard blue flash every 5 seconds.
I sure hope the information above is helpful because I really like the Light Manager application. It provided the functionality that Android and Samsung forgot!

Thanks for the explanation.
The LED notification on Samsung devices used to be the first come first serve basis. However from Touchwiz 5.1.1. onwards, like what you have noticed, it had changed to last come first serve basis. Actually right after the Samsung / Android process generates the standard blue LED, Light Manager will generate the orange LED one more time but at this time Light Manager can no longer override the standard blue LED (I am not sure why as well).
If you are using alternating mode, Light Manager will keep on generating LED notification according to the "Interval Of Change" that you have set. However this only happens when you have more than one notification. Could you try generating the 2nd notification (Let say generating a Gmail LED notification after you have generated an SMS LED notification), see if it can override the standard blue LED?
Suddenly I have an idea, could you please go to Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Enable Logging and enable it? Then do the testing above and send me the generated log.txt file which will be generated in your internal storage under a folder named "LightManager". I suspected that maybe Touchwiz 5.1.1 drops / ignores all the notification access detection related to system apps. I might be able to know by analyzing the log.txt file.
Thank you.

Sorry for the delay. I set the app as a system app via Titanium Backup, set it up again, and have no change in behaviour unfortunately.

LED Control?

So, when I first got the phone and was running the stable Chinese ROM, I could use an app called "Light Manager Pro" to control the color of a notification LED for any particular app.
Now, I've flashed the unofficial global ROM, and it seems that app no longer can control my notification light. I've also tried "Light Flow," and if anything, it makes it worse (the LED doesn't come on at all when using that app).
The app has notification access, and it is an exception to MIUI battery saver (meaning it should run in the background all the time). Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Did you try the trick where you bring up the running apps/task manager and swipe down and select lock? (Presumably to keep it locked in memory)

This doesn't do anything. Something about how the app wants to control the LED is not how the phone wants the LED to be controlled (as an added note, things like "Flash Rate," have absolutely no effect on the LED when it does light up).

Anyone got it to work yet?

I've tried everything and can't get it

Use TIBU to make it a system app...only thing I can think to try. That's the only way I could get TeslaUnread to stay open.

I also like to configure the LED color but the Mi Mix led is so faint that I don't even bother.

Anybody manage to solve this yet. I haven't, and it's been quite a long time.

actually the LED light control app is not run on miui but it works well on samsung or some of huawei phone
