Notification RGB LED - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hi, I have question regarding the notification led.
I have set it to green for notification and red for warnings but I still see sometimes blue light for notifications, why? Is there also any method to change colors for different apps? And if I get 2 notifications from 2 different apps with diffetrent colors what then? Who has priority or maybe it will blink in 2 colors one after another? (that would be great)

[Q] Notification LED - Different Colors?

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.

Notification Light

Hi all,
I just recently purchased the Z1 and have a question regarding the Sony Z1 notification light.
I noticed our phone flashes/stays solid color of white, blue, green, and maybe other colors, but I was wondering what each color meant and what keeps it from staying solid? Is it all random or do different apps set off different colors and/or causes it to flash or stay solid?

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

N6 notification led

About our led, i got the app light flow but i cant understand why it uses only 3-4 colours! Red blue and green led colours are in our device so theoretical it can produce every colour with some combinations of those 3 colours. So my question is, is the app not getting all out of our led or does the hardware have a problem?
P.S. the colours I've managed to get out of are red, blue, green and light blue

The answer is that the three single color LEDs are not merged in an RGB LED. They are distinct. Their intensity control is also EXTREMELY poor, which makes them effectively ON/OFF LEDs rather than ones you can blend at varying intensities. Means that the best you can hope for is the following combinations;
RED (red) = FF0000
GREEN (green) = 00FF00
BLUE (blue) = 0000FF
RED+GREEN (yellow) = FFFF00
RED+BLUE (purple) = FF00FF
GREEN+BLUE (teal) = 00FFFF
RED+GREEN+BLUE (white) = FFFFFF
Except, of course, that the colors won't blend together in the case of compound colors, so the "white" will actually appear as distinct red, green, and blue.
This is great stuff here, gonna download Lightflow and set this up as ASAP.
A lot of the ROMs are supporting the LED light by default now. I am using AOSiP RC-3 on N6 and it has LED Notification built into it. Highly configurable per app as well.

it has the standard color picker and I have some non-standard colors set (like orange for G+ notifications). See Picture Here

Notification Pulse Color

I looked to see if I could find this answer on here and on Google please flame away if it's a repost. In the chroma app I set the led color to red. I tell it to pulse if I get a notification,but the pulse color is not the color I selected it is a light blue is this normal?
Thanks
The colour you set in Chroma is just for the passive effect. When you get a notification it tries to find the most prominent colour in the app's logo which sent the notification and uses that. It's meant to make it more useful than a plain old notification LED since you can intuitively determine which app sent the notification just by looking at it.
So yeah, that's normal

Gotcha I will pay closer attention to it seems a little odd to use light blue for Hangouts which is green. Maybe it's just not that accurate
