Hi there,
I found a couple cool apps for our Evo, and wanted to pass them along in case someone else was looking but hadn't found them yet.
LED Light - picolyl - This app turns on our led lights by the camera, and has a widget so you can place it beside your sense widgets for connections, etc.
Mirror for HTC EVO 4G - NeatoFun - This uses the front facing camera and shows the image full screen, so you can check out how awesome you look, or if you've got some boogies hanging out of your nose
Dolphin Browser HD - I used Dolphin Browser on my Hero, but this is a completely different app, it has been totally revamped and has themes and add-ins. It has fantastic multitouch performance also. I'm seriously considering replacing this as my default browser, which I would have never said before.
Google Earth - We can finally use this, Yay! Not so much on the Hero.
Quick Profiles - I've used this since the Hero came out, and it's a great app to manage and create system sound profiles, similar to the ones the old school nokia phones had. I have several set up, from vibrate, silent, loud, nighttime, quiet, normal, etc. It's a great app, I wish something like this was included by default.
there you go, some new ones for me and some favorites too. Enjoy!
Didnt know about that mirror app. Thanks!
what's so much better about dolphin, explicitly? I didn't see anything that made me want to use it when I had my moment at all.

did you use the HD version on your moment? It feels like a totally different app to me, and there's lots of improvements. but, to each his own.
Here's some more info, a video, and a small list of the new improvements.

I like the brightness options, but still think led light is a better app due to the widget. Good stuff though, keep it coming!

Great post man! Thanks.

I am wondering if one of my LEDs is burned out or broken. When using LED Light app, only the top led lights up. Same when taking pictures. Do both LEDs light up for those of you using the program?

Ouch, both of mine light up also. Sounds like you've got a bad LED. Bummer! At least it's under warranty though.

turn the camera flash to on and check if they both light up when you take a picture
My local Sprint store replaced it out. Nice and easy, and having rooted and having all of my setups in Titanium Backup made it all the easier.
Thanks for all your feedback.

Great find!! I'm enjoying these apps.

I'm using GoSMS and I turned on the option to "Blink LED", but I get no notifications when an SMS comes in.
Anyone know how to get it working? Is it a problem with GoSMS or the phone?
EDIT: Tried gmail notifier too and no LED lighting up with that either.
Does the notification light work on this thing?
Are you being serious right now? If you are, there is no notification led for the sgs4g. There are some apps in the market that will light up pixels on your screen when different alerts are needed. Just a quick search in the market

I was serious. Oh well, not a big deal. I have a Vibrant too with no notification light. I thought that one of the things on the front there was a notification light on this, guess not.
Thanks for clearing it up.
No problem

Can you recommend one? Maybe I'm not searching for the right thing.
I like NoLED. They are constantly improving it, but some say it eats batt. I haven't really noticed it myself. It has some pretty cool stuff like batt %, time, and icons.
i tried NoLED but found it killed the battery
There seems to be a section on battery savings in the options. Anything decent there?
Looks like the screen is basically always on, even though it's black, when there's a notification, right?
Is there a general consensus on how bad the impact is?
Black doesn't use battery on these phones.
That is a huge feature I miss coming from my Vibrant.
But I am sure it will slowly be implemented as this phone picks up support.
Hi there,
I have the S2 on rogers the 727 series. I have a few issues.
1. LED notifications never worked
2. Camera on my phone is always darker (i compared it with the same from on AT&T and its camera was actually better
3. Whenever i get a txt or missed call the phone never vibrates and i've tried different sms apps and all of them dont work even though the setting is on.
I know there are apps to get LED notifications but i dont like that...i would like to see my LEDs that the phone has working. Anyone have similar issues?

proximity and light sensors.....nothing LED there. the only GS2 phone with LEDs is the sprint version....
ahh i see....well what about everyone's camera. Im pretty disappointed with mine when its dark or just not day light the pictures turn out pretty dark. When i use the flash peoples faces turn white.
Go into settings in your camera and turn up the exposure. Indoor shots seem to darken for some reason with the stock settings. See if that fixes the issue.
Does the One S have any?
Surely only visible if needed/active

Yes, hidden beneath the speaker mesh. Haven't seen it 'live' yet, but me thinks it may be hard to notice?

It's smaller like at the sensation but believe me you will see it
Tiny LED hole...
I find it not visible enough!
The LED light is coming out of one only tiny hole of the speaker and is a bit difficult to see...
Seeing the size of those holes, a normal led would light 2 to 4 of them...
PS : Sorry for my english!
Hope you will get my explanation
Yes, I agree it isn't as visible as it is on some other phones. However, a family member has the Sensation XE which also has the LED under the speaker grille, and it is only slightly more prominent than the one on the One S. Wish it was as visible as that on my old Desire (which you could spot across the room), but at least it has one, unlike some other makes
Any chance of changing the colors or did HTC still stick to the green/orange combo only? I still miss my G1 in that aspect...haha.

I'm pretty sure it'll turn yellow/red.
The LED of my One S know the colors red/orange and green.
The orange LED shines through the hole battery-loading-process. And it only changes to green when the battery is at 100%.
And at the moment I'm not shure what color is to be seen on notifications. I think green but I'm not shure.
I need an app that reminds me of a missed text/sms, because the LED stops after a couple of minutes.
I tried missed reminder, but that does not stop reminding even after having read the text message.
Does anyone know an app that works? LED notification for text messages.
Does "missed text reminder" work? Or any other app?
Thanks!

For this purpose I'm using "Easy Reminder" on my HD2.
I find this app to be the only one that's not draining the battery.
Not sure though if it'll work with ICS.
@decmk
In a post before, I have already written that "missed reminder" doesn't work properly. The LED does not stop flashing.
Anyone any experiences with "Missed Text Reminder"?
Thanks!

With SAMOLED, NoLED App is perfect...!
light flow works great
So, I rooted the device and opened up EX kernel manager. Clicked on Misc in order to change the I/0 to row, and saw LED trigger on the bottom. Thought it was odd, so clicked it. Switched it to battery charging, connected my charger, and bam. Up top, right below the headphone jack above the earpiece. Not sure if it's rgb, but very happy about this. Can't wait to explore further and we get some custom ROMs out for this device.
I'm no dev, just looking forward to what's can be done with this
Yeah, I had seen a similar post on the Moto X (2013) xda! However, as far as I know, no custom rom made good use of it. Counting on you
I'd love to see the option of choosing which notifications light up the LED and which goes to Moto Display, since there isn't an Amoled on this device... Like priority notifications go on Display so you can interact, and things like games notifications on the LED.
But maybe I'm dreaming!
@dictionary : Thanks so much for the good news.
Been a great day for the MXP - rooted + LED notification all in 24 hrs.
Does it get any better than this!
I've had mine just under a week and so far have been really satisfied with my purchase.
I was missing Xposed and getting to grips with the lack of a LED for notifications plus realizing just how many ads I wasn't seeing before so it's a win win day for Motorola fans.

If you have root, you should try to install Light Flow (lite) and see if it can interface the LED on the phone. It was working on my Nexus 4 (with root). That would be a good reason for me to root my moto x play now...
Please report if you do.
Thanks!

Good news! Unlike osprey, where some hardware needed for LED notifications without the charger plugged in is missing, everything needed in hardware for LED notifications is present on lux. I got LED notifications working nicely on the stock ROM with my kernel (that is under development).
Great news! Looking forward to hear more.

I think it's white only.
My kernel build with LED support is up on the original development section.
I don't think it's a notification led. It's too bright and intense that it could be a little dummy flash for frontal camera. I think that motorola released this device pretty soon and hide many components that were planed but not finished.

It's a notification light. They are used so that you know when your device is about to die on battery, or when it's off and next to dead. Otherwise you'd be hard pressed to know.

In the Moto X 2014 model, there was a green LED that would light up only if the phone was too dead to even light up the display to show the "dead battery" icon.
I'm guessing the same is true of the LED here, but luckily we have a kernel that uses the LED for notifications. Works really well with the Motorola flip cover for this phone!
Does someone has a picture of the LED working? I'm curious about it.
Has anyone thought of changing the leds to brighter ones?
Wondering if someone tried that(and failed? ..no seriously I'm just wondering if someone tried to replace these smd leds to better ones)
Led technology evolves quite fast so they should be better leds out there by now, or having the same brighness but better power consumption(less heat)
just use an external LED gadget.

Hmm,it's pretty much fine here on outdoor too.I don't recall even any custom kernel having " Notification Led Brightness" feature,though there are many color changing features.
Well,you can use ambient display too or you can set the camera flashlight as a notification light,then it would be bright,lol.It would be similar to S Light feature introduced on Note devices, there's an app on PS which does all that.

Led notification has no purpose of changing heh (who uses flash? hmm why not be able to use it?)
---------------------------
Others leds that NEEDS to be changed are the hardware button leds, these are VERY dim(can't see them unless completely darkness. I could try such changes myself if I has a spare 1+1 that I didn't care if it dies in my hands(anyone care to donate a phone for the greater good? ahhahhaah) ...I'm good with my hands but I'd never try to mod such things in my daily driver, it would be great for the hardware buttons to use "proper" leds there
