I wrote a small app (based on other people's hard work) that will flash the LED when a new notification is active.
I did this because all my previous WM5 PDA's had a visible "new message" notification and I found it useful !
1. Copy the SDKCerts.cab from the Visual Studio SDK onto your device
2. Run the .cab on the device to install the SDK root certs
3. Extract the msgled.zip and copy msgled.exe to the startup folder of your Treo
Done
It *should* check every 10 seconds for new messages and flash the LED if there are any.
Enjoy.
Thanks. . coming from a Treo 650, ive missed this very useful feature via an app called Butler, i do hope that it can also be set to 'steady green or red'
Battery Drain?
Does this affect the battery?

Great app, works like a charm. Thanks!
Works like a charm indeed, but I am running into a small bug! I have my Treo set for powering off the screen after 1 minute, but if I have your tool active it won't. It will disable the display lights, but not actually turn the Treo off...
Thanks it works great.
Good Job !!!
ehh
works great..
only one thing.. i got a voicemail message so it left a notification and i got the blinking led (great).
But there seems no way to get rid of the voicemail notification now
So i tried to remove the msgled file form the startup folder.. doesnt let me.. hmmmm
Anyway to remove the msgled file? or stop it?

Hi,
I guess you can help me in my Problem.
I had flashed my ROM for softbank x01ht witha widows6 rom(dont remember which version).
Since then the Device lights i.e. the bluetooth light and the service ligts are not working meaning they do not blink at all.
When I connect the Charger, a RED LED flash for a fraction of second and then goes off, though the charging is done with no problem.
Can you pls tell me how can I solve this problem, I have tried to search a solutuon with all the possible combination of key words.
Pls. help me if you know any possible solution.
THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE,
Mandrix
This is great, thanks!
is there any way to turn the led orange instead of green when receiving new messages?
great app though. thx.
Treo 750 - Missed call / message notification orange LED
Zwuncki
I too am looking for an option to do this but it seems that the only option so far has been to turn the LED green for notifications (I am using Mortscript and nled). An improvement over the existing but orange would be nice.
For the Treo 650, this was nicely done by an application called "MissedCall" but from reading posts in other forums it seems that no one has figured out a way to turn on the orange LED in Treo 750 (it does this when out of range of signal in its built in default state).
Works great!!!!
cdelauz02 - what works great? I assume you are talking about Mortscript/Nled? or have you gotten the notification to turn the orange LED on somehow?

Do you think this will drain the battery? Since it checks every 10 seconds for new messages.
Great feature though! Very nicely done!
I've had this script installed for a couple of months now and can't say that I've noticed any impact on my battery life. I still get 2-3 days between charges.

Thanks for your answer. Nice to see some activity on the 750 forum.
At the moment I'm trying SPB Phone Suite. It looks like it also notifies the user by flashing the LED when you've missed a call. One "bug" is when you dismiss a missed call the indicator still shows the number of missed calls.
I might be mistaken, but if I understand what I've read over at the Phonealarm forums the 750 handels notifiers different than other pocket pc's and what you've noticed is one of the results. I believe that the counts should reset if you actually view the missed call log.
Otherwise, how do you like the SPB phone suite? I've been eyeing it, but being a regular reader of the phonealarm forums I know the amount of work that goes into such a program and am a bit weary of a first release. What's your impression?
I must say that I like the idea. It sure is a very good first release! Skinning is not my main target. Stability is
Just installed a Beta of PhoneAlarm. It worked for a few hours, now the screen looks messed up (stripes). Like the images aren't rendered correctly.
Read that the memory footprint of PhoneAlarm is smaller than SPB Phone Suite.
But we're a little of topic now Will post more info when I have it!

I was referring to the led notifications, I dont mind having the led green, but if orange was available it will be nice as well.
I need some help. Is there a way to make the green LED light blink in an other colour (red/yellow) in case of a new message has arrived or a calender reminder has been started? This has been one of the functions that worked with all other HTC devices. The LED is totally useless with this device by blinking green the whole time, only changing to yellow when loading the battery nad red when battery is empty.
I'm not sure about changing the colour, but this device actually has two led lights, I wouldn't consider it completely useless
One on the right shows the battery status:
Red - Batt Low
Orange - Charging
Green - Fully charged
The one on the left :-
blinks blue - bluetooth enabled
blinks green - Wifi is enabled
There are programs like DontForget that allow the led to flicker on reminders, mails, messages etc. Check here:-
http://magazin.softimage.cz/?page_id=26
thanks for your reply and you are right about the two LED. I was aware of this and of the relating functions. I am also aware of the "don't forget" app but this app does not change the LED on a WM6 device. I am looking for a way to bring the right LED to blink in a changed colour in the case of an event. other htc devices do so, so there must be a way to stir these LED lights. still looking and maybe soemeone has a registry hack or some ideas on this. thx
Hi research12,
did you end up finding a solution to this problem?.. I have exactly the same issue with the vox and would like to find an application or something that can do this...

I am afraid, no. Nobody could solve the issue yet according to my knowledge.
Is there a way to disable the LED indicator? Maybe a registry editing command to accomplish this?
Nope. Sorry, but it's hardware! There are solutions, but they don't work properly!

Yeah, i too want to disable the green blinking led. It uses a sustantial portion of battery for no use, which irritates a lot. Can someone here give any Registry tweak for that??
actually its consumption is very low

Hi to all !
Well, i'm absolutly uninterested in knowing my phone have found GSM service considering I'm never in uncovered GSm areas. BUT i'm absolutly interested in sleeping in a dark non-blinking room, or driving a non-blinking car by night.
I've been searching for hours a registry hack to kill service LED blinking on my HTC s710 ... The tweak for WM5 can be found anywhere, but we cant find the same keys in WM6 RDB.
Does anyone know how to act on service LED activity via RDB or even software ?
Thanks to all of you people !
Nicolas
C'mon, no one knows how to disable it or is even bothered by it ?
I am very interested. I never want to see a blinking led and im also looking for a way to toggle the keyboard lights on my Titan.
Ok I found the registry value. Go HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\AllLedMgr then change the index from 1 to 0
At your own risk ;-)
does the led blink ever with this one or does this disable it completely?
i know there's a program called "dontforget" that'll disable the constant blinking but permits blinking for other types of notifications.
with the registry change the only time the led lights up is to let you know the battery is charging.
This does not work with the HTC S710. There is no key named AllLedMgr, even if one is created - it seems to be ignored.
DontForget seems to work intermittently on the S710 also, it will slow down the GSM LED, but once anything interacts with it - it will start right back up again.
Try this programs. Work well on my tornado.
Hello
I am trying to use jamespaulritter's method of changing the registry value and I am getting an "access denied" dialog box. Please help me turn the thing off. I am very new to this and am sure I am missing a basic procedure. Please help

NEW VERSION RELEASE CANDIDATE 4
NOTE: I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO OFFER SUPPORT FOR THIS APP. I'M RELEASING THE SOURCE CODE UNDER GPLV3 LICENSE.
SCREENSHOTS CLICK HERE TO SEE
LedNotifications it's a event based application that will detect when some applications write in the notification bar and will raise a led event.
The app consists in a:
-background process (lednotifybkg.exe)
-configuration tool (LedNotifyGUI.exe)
Bakground process it's coded in C to maximice performance and memory consumption.Background process will trigger the led events so you don't need the configuration tool to be running.
The application it's now hardcoded so only works with HD2 devices.
How to use it
Just run the configuration tool. Now raise a notification (for example a misscall) and go to configure-> add last active notification. Now select the led and press Add. To ensure compatibility you'll only be able to configure the LAST ACTIVE NOTIFICATION. So if you have 3 notification, you'll be able to configure the last one. To configure the others rid of the last one and do the same again.
When you finish, start the background process. If it's started, shutdown it and start it again to apply changes.
PLEASE SHUTDOWN THE CONFIGURATION TOOL WHEN FINISH WITH THE EXIT BUTTON OR THE BATTERY CONSUMPTION MAY BE INCREASED
Warning: The background process will not start automatically.You should start it when your device it's reset.
SOURCE CODE
I'll release the source code when I get positive feedback indicating that the application has no bugs.Just to release something in good conditions. I'm not a software developer so don't expect too much.
THANKS TO...
MichyPrima for the ManilaSDK
NetRipper for LeoExtendedNotifications source code
WARNING: INCOMPATIBILITIES
To raise an event I delete a registry value that saves the id of the active notification. Concretely HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Shell\Notifications\Active value ID. If you experience any problem with other notification software it can be related with this. Disable my app, make a soft reset and check if the issue has been solved.
MUST READ
I've made an effort coding this application, ensuring it has no bug and fixing it. So now I'm asking you if you like the application please donate to some ONG (ie http://www.supportunicef.org/), so I've helped you with this app, you can help other people with your money . Now you've read this you know that the pword to open the file is donateong
KNOWN BUGS
a) When the bicolor led it's blinking if you rid off some notification maybe it won't shutdown. Please report if this happens to you, I don't know if I fixed it at all.
FAQ
What's the battery consumption?
The battery consumption it's 0!!. The led it's put in an automode so the application it's not responsible of making the on/off process, the app just triggers leds on/off
Why I can't configure led's frequency and duty cicle?
To ensure maximum battery performance the led it's put in an automode. The driver is the responsible to blink the led so you can't configure it. You can still download previous versions but they consume battery power.
Why have you changed the Add apps menu?
With the new system I can't monitor all notifications so I've coded this way to ensure notifications you add will raise an event in the background process.
Why don't you use the netRippers code to blink the keypad?
Because I don't know howto put in automode and this affects battery performance
What's the password for the file?

OLD VERSIONS
Hello!,
I'm here to present my first windows mobile application LedNotifications. It's a general purpose led notifier but designed in an HD2 (so by now only works in an HD2).
The application looks for notifications in the notification bar and let's you to configure a led color. The led will start to blink as soon as the notification icon appears in the notification bar. There's a quicklist to enable/disable apps quickly. The app also lets you to override the power led.
There are some known bugs:
1)the configuration tools sometimes crashes.
2) Slide reported that sometimes the app doesn't work in stanby mode, if anybody knows what the reason could be please write in this post
It will let you configure led email notifications on the HD2!
Use at your own risk, I'm not responsible for the damages that this program can cause to you or/and your device.
Background program can crash and run CPU as high as 90% so if this happens it will drain your battery.I've been working on that so I expect this not to happen but it's a possibility.
Configuration files allow you to use in other devices. Format text files are
on.txt -> configuration to bring led on
off.txt -> configuration to turn the led off
so every file has LED_ID,LED_STATUS_VALUE
in HD2 green led is 1 and on status is 1
on.txt looks like this 1,1
I hope you like the program. I will post the source code soon.
The program does not register to startup so a reset will disable it (and solve any problem related to this)
Lots of thanks to MichyPrima for the manila controls

The app has two executables. One for the GUI and the other for the background. The background process manages leds and it coded in C++. Only around 70kbyte of memory and around 1% CPU . The GUI it's about 2Mbyte but it can be shutdown once you have configured it.
Will be watching this with exteme interest!

Hi htcjordi!
Thanks for the program. I am testing it on my Topaz. It seems to be working perfectly so far. I love the interface.
Many thanks! I will report any bugs I find.
I have a link from the start menu to this so it auto starts after a reset.
So far not too bad... Occasionally the led stays on but otherwise i finally have my flashing email notification
Well done!
Hi! Very interesting application you made there.
I think it would be even more interesting if the 2 settings txt files would be replaced by registry entries.
Thanks for the good work!
I have been testing this for about a day now. I received an email but the LED was not responding. When I woke up my device, the LED illuminated and stayed illuminated even after I removed all notifications and my TD2 was not charging.
It would be nice to be able to configure the different notifications with different LEDs. I haven't figured out how to do this yet.
Otherwise, it is great.
please
we want nimbuzz to notify us when we have a missed call or massage

Actually it was easier to do with registry entries but I did it with text files because I think it's more friendly to work with text files than work with the registry. Just in case somebody want to write new files! Anyway I apreciate your comment

Hi mitsi! I figured out that you have a Diamond, I can't test my app with this machine but I'll try to help you.Did your TD2's leds work through the configuration menu? I mean the menu you can configurate led's frequency and duty cicle. If the led is not blinking you'll have to play with configuration files.
You can configure notifications with different leds. Raise some event in the notification bar to list some app in the app menu. Then activate the app pressing the on/off button : it should appear a menu indicating wich led you want to turn on (in my case green/orange). If different physical leds are avaliable (not one with many colors) they should appear with indepentents on/off buttons.
Thank you for all your feedback

How is work going on this?
I seem to keep getting an instant where by the flashing LED stays solid when i get rid of the notification (by reading the email).
I have currently set up a shortcut to the GUI so i can stop/restart it but it's a bit annoying... any chance you can add a restart into the script after the notification is removed?
PS its a HD2....

Hi,
I've recently picked up this great budget android phone and am very happy with it so far. Only problem is I can't get the notification LED to notify me of SMS, gmail, etc. It definitely exists because it lights up for charging but doesn't seem to light up/flash for any other event, which makes it hard to know if you have received anything without specifically checking.
Is this normal behaviour? Can I change it easily? I've not rooted the phone and would prefer not to, but will if it is safe and will fix this.
Thanks in advance!
Tried factory reset, and root. neither has changed anything
HELP!
I noticed the same thing with mine. I'm thinking its not actually a notification led but simply a charging led. You could try an led notification app from the play store and see if it will operate it.
*correction it is notification led. Skype and viber are flashing the led on mine.
Sent from my HUAWEI Y300-0100 using xda app-developers app
I have the same. I read on many forums that the notification led from their Y300 is working. Mine at the moment only is on when charging battery.
I wonder how to get this to work...

I bought the phone a few days back. After running a few days on stock I flashed cm 10.2(android 4.3) in the cm settings I had the options for notifications. On the stock rom it didnt work but on cm it works like a charm. The ui is much better them emotion ui plus alot faster.
Hi guys, update: I found that Light Flow app can control the LED and you can then set the notification behaviour for sms, calendar, etc etc. You do need to play with the settings, I can't remember exactly but i think it needs "direct mode" of control and various other tweaks to start working...
