I think gravitybox allows you to do this, you'll need Xposed framework though.
I have looked into this extensively. There is another thread about it already. Unfortunately, the LED is this phone has only red and green colors - that's it. Now, by turning on both the red and green at the same time, you should be able to get a third color - orange. BUT, the red LED is so much brighter than the green LED that the "orange" looks almost the same as the red, so it's really not usable. I emailed back and forth with the developer of the wonderful lightflow app to help figure out if it was a hardware or a software issue. Unfortunately for us, it's a hardware issue. They saved a few cents by using a red and green color LED instead of a much higher quality red, green, blue LED.
The bottom line is that the LED can only be bright red or green. You can use blink rates in combinations with the colors to indicate different things though. If you look at my post in the other thread, you can see how to turn the red and green on and off again with some simple commands.

Well thx for the research m8. It's unfortunate tho. But nevertheless thanks very much for the info
I was VERY disappointed to find this out! My previous phone was a Moto G xt1045 and it had a white notification light only. On the models after that, they removed it altogether in favor of "ambient display" - yech! Doesn't do you a damn bit of good when you are across the room and look over at the phone. A blinking light, you can see. A notification that pops up from time to time, you are unlikely to.
I was so looking forward to having a full color LED like the Nexus 5 I had years ago had. But... $60!
Sorry for my english this Led its only "Led charger" or Led notificatiom also?

No, it's not just for indicating charging. You can use it to indicate anything you like using an application like LightFlow.
But since it can only display the colors red and green, and both together still look like red because red is so much brighter, you really only have two colors to work with.
You can use things like different blink rates and sounds to indicate different notifications as well.

The other day I flashed a new kernel on my nexus one.
After rebooting I saw the orange/amber light flicker from different colors like orange, green, magenta, blue, red, etc. i dont know if I was hallucinating or not, but was this possible? Are there even other colors for that light besides amber/green/red?
There are many... have a look at Trackball Alert or Blink.
He's not talking about the trackball light.

Interesting, which kernel was it?
I would assume you could do any color with it, similar to what you can do with your trackball colors... why you would want to though is beyond me...
you could show cpu usage (from red to green to off), network data movement (flashing blue in accordance with the transfer amount, fast for lots of throughput) etc
I don't recall the kernel used but ill flash them from newest on my phone and see if it comes back. If so that would be an interesting find. Otherwise im going crazy
ive seen purple
SO i have had a desire hd and oh that the charge led flashes green if the phone is on. Is something similar available for our nexus 1's?
PS: Please excuse my rubbish english.
IIRC there's an app that utilized the charging LED. I'll have to search for it.

I know for a fact that Light Flow can control the charging LED.
Just tested it quickly; in 'Direct mode' with notification 'Phone signal' enabled, the charging LED is solid blue (I chose blue color).
You can choose blue, green, red (isn't working for me), orange, turquoise (=light blue), purple (=blue) and white (=pink)
Blink does it too. There's another one posted here somewhere I haven't foound.

Something weird just occurred , I was using the shop Samsung website and whenever I pressed the back button to go back one page I noticed a blue dot blink in the middle of the screen. Didn't think much of it, but then was in the BBC app and similar red dot appears on the middle of the screen when opening a sub page withing the app.
I rebooted my device, now the led notification light is stuck on a magenta color, any ideas ?
Annoyingly sometimes the LED will blink blue if Samsung apps need updating
Do the LED test by dialling *#0*#

Seems to be working after a reboot. Was thinking maybe Samsung were employing some sort of low level fault indicator with the light being stuck on a certain color.
LED color?
Sorry for hijacking your thread, does anyone knows whether the LED has some sort of bug? I changed LED color in my Whatsapp but it always either not the color or its either blue or magenta.

No worries. WhatsApp always did that for me.

I received Note 9(VZW) directly from Samsung 3 days ago. I traded in Note 8 and received $500 credit. It is my first purchase from Samsung.
Everything works fine except the LED Indicator. I don't see any problem with Red, Green and Blue colors. I noticed the color of KakaoTalk notification LED is not solid yellow as it should. It looks like light green(half yellow and half green). If I let it blink for a while, it sometimes changes to Yellow and goes back to light green. I installed "Light Manager" and tested all available colors. I see a problem with Yellow, Orange and White. Yellow looks like light Green, Orange looks like Yellow and While looks like light Cyan. If I them blink for a wile, the correct color of Yellow and Orange sometimes light up. However, White remains in light Cyan.
I think my Note 9 is defective. Has anyone exchanged a defective phone from Samsung? What process do I need to go through? Do they send you a new phone 1st like VZW does?
Thanks.
Couldn't even get light manager to work on my device. It said that screen must be off to test the led colors. If screen is off how the hell do I press the on screen test color button [emoji23]

That's because you have to turn screen off once you press test mode or W.e it's called, wait a few seconds and notification light will start to flash.
I use LED Blinker Pro and it works perfectly ?

Yep orange and yellow look about the same on mine too. Meaning when I pick orange it's yellow and orange and when I pick yellow it's orange and yellow also. You best exchange yours, not acceptable for $1000+ device [emoji23] [emoji1787]
PS. I remember all my previous notes were similar. Good luck.

I am having this same issue too when I use light flow. I need to know if it's a defect or if it's something the app is doing. Doesn't seem as though that many ppl are having the issue or even notice? The phone is fine otherwise. Can anyone else verify if this is happening? Anyone with two devices?
I have the identical problem as the original poster, with exactly the same colour issues.
The bizarre thing is, this has only just started to occur. The colours were pretty well defined before, other than the white which was always a little cyan looking.
Last night I was expecting a yellow LED from a notification and I got green.
I then tried all colour options in Light Manager and it seemed I only got red/green/blue despite what I selected. Same with defining custom colours in Whatsapp.
I experimented and set the LED to BRIGHT in Light Manager. Was previously on Normal. This improved things massively. All of this was done in evening time indoors with not much light.
Today I re-set the LED to NORMAL in light manager, and the colours were fine. Also the Whatsapp colours were now ok too. This confused me, but I read on Light Manager forum that this phone has an ambient LED sensor so I am wondering if that is what is affecting the colours. I will try again tonight in the dark and see if they have reverted back to R/G/B again.
So my solution at the moment is to set the LED to BRIGHT in the Light Manager settings.
Not ideal really as on my S7 previously the LED was faultless.
I had an note 2, note 8 and now note 9 and they all have the same issue with some colour blending with that LED.
It must had some multiple fixed colour LEDs around the hole and the green and yellow must be "far" from each other so that when it need to mix them to make the desired colour, they badly blend.
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone knows if the notification LED can be customised? I've tried light flow but it doesn't work correctly (perhaps because of the lack of colours supported by zenfone LED?).
Sadly, the notification LED is only red green and yellow

That is a little unfortunate although if it could be customized it still would be handy (for example green on vs slow flash vs fast flash all for different apps).. Seems strange that the green light flow settings don't work even though the LED has green.
