Ive done a bit of searching through the market but can only find apps that use the screen as a torch.
Any recommendations? Thanks

or you can go for Tesla LED
i prefer everything in 1 app, less wasted space, faster phone
TeslaLED. Perfect. Thanks!

Using the LED, dosen't it increase the chance of the Led getting spoiled?
Anyone run across any new LED apps since this was posted? I cannot overstate the usefulness of a good LED torch app.
Torch from CM7 works fine.

I use TeslaLED, works great. I noticed that it lags turning on from the homescreen widget compared to G2, but it's not the end of the world.

did you expect to not use it in the case of it breaking? Why have it at all then?

I use Nexus One LED flashlight. It's about 80k, Tesla is closer to 350k. I don't like bloated apps...
+1 for Allgamer's recommendation of Widgetsoid 2.x. That app replaced like 3 other dedicated apps for me (LED torch, battery meter, power control).
Anyone else?
TeslaLED or Torch (Comes with CM7)
I've switched to using widgetsoid. I have one widget on the homescreen with battery, ram, and torch. Another on different homescreen with a few toggles.

I use LED Light. It has a widget that you can put on yyour home screen. That is if you want an app that does one thing and one thing well.

Widgetsoid... u can use it for other purpose as well...

I use the SwitchPro widgets. One switch Flashlight on/off. Very useful...

for me it replaced at least 9 different widgets
in total it shaved off 15 apps from my phone
I like using TeslaLED in combination with widget locker...allows you to use the flashlight from the lockscreen.
I use nexus tourch love the high brightness

Any one of these have variable brightness settings? When I had my HD7 the ability to choose between 3 levels, low medium and high, was awesome sauce.
I'm so excited to see the development thread going strong. It's making me love my Infuse even more.
Any ideas/requests?
I'll start by saying I would love BLN support on GTG's Infused rom

i'm not sure i fully understand the purpose/use behind bln. can anyone point me in the right direction to find out how to effectively use this, and explain what it's for?
edit: nvm, i found some videos that explain it.
good that there is soo much cooperation. the kernels are truly community built.
One of the downsides of this phone is no notification light, but with BLN when you get a notification the bottom lights light up.

NoLED in the market also works great but may drain battery more quickly than BLN. Between the two, it certainly makes up for the missing notification led. I don't understand why Samsung is against providing a true led notification.

It's significantly higher drain than BLN.
on the topic of bln you can use tasker to turn on the led flash for notifications, it is a little obnoxious though.
Having no LED notification truly bothers me. That's one of my favorite features of my old X10.
But, am I able to use the Defuse kernel on GTG's Infused rom? Anyone tested/confirmed?

Awesome, flashing now
Dude I'm in love with the notifications capacitor buttons I've been using them since the guy from 2x forums made the app and still using them on CM7.
Just an amazing implementation.
I lovr how I see the lights lid up while I'm working and know that there is something waiting for me
Just wanted to share aand encourage those of you who have not use this before and are missing notification led that this is pretty sweet.
Works flawlessly as well
For those of you running stock, you can simply download it from the market and will be ready to go.

This is implemented in cm7, you no longer need the app running in background checking for notification waisting battery.

That little program is much better than the notification light I now have on the Sensation. At least, on the G2x it is. The Sensation's notification light is darn near hidden whereas I can see the led light on the G2x lights pretty much wherever I have it laying.

i dunno. i kinda find the leds annoying. i turn those off and just look at the notification. unless i'm missing something that you all are not.
@above: Well at least we have options.
One thing I find weird is that there isn't even a charging light. I plug it in and there is no feedback. The screen doesn't even pop on. I have to manually turn on the screen and check to make sure everything is good before I go to bed.
Notification LED's, meh. The way I see it is that I'm going turn the screen on and check anyway.
Although, as far as Notifications go, the OP's mention is a good solution for stock users. CM7 users have this built in on the kernel level so it consumes less battery. The above method is a battery eater, hence why CM7 built it in to the kernel vs having an app running in the background.
can anyone either make me a app that makes the camera flash a notification light or point me in the right direction on how to make it myself? I am not very good at coding but I'm willing to try to learn. I know a little java and html, although it's been a while for both so i doubt they will be much good to me. Thanks!
you try noled yet? its pretty nice and almost (almost!!) makes me not miss having a notification light.
Or just maybe make the lights on the buttons below the screen go off......

I wasn't happy with NoLED. I see iphone got a tweak that allows the camera flash as a notification LED. I want 1 too! too bad i only no a little java which i havent used in 4 yearss ;-p

this would be awesome however I think its only doable through some custom kernel work which isn't possible as of yet since imnuts and other kernel devs have no source code

How is Noled on the battery though? I tried it on my fascinate and it seemed to eat through the battery. This has been almost a year ago though.
NoLED will slightly lower your battery life, but it's the only option we have right now. We just can't get true BLN without the source code.

It does eat your battery because it unlocks your phone. That said, it does have the option to stop itself after a set time frame. I'm never away from my phone for more than five minutes, so that works for me.
I have the proximity sensor setting on for NoLED and it saves the battery a ton! The screen stays off when it's in your pocket or holster and shows the notification as soon as you take it out. NoLED is honestly the best app I have on my charge. I love seeing the icon of the notification rather than having to remember what app was yellow or blue!
BLN seems pointless on this phone. The back light on the buttons is too weak to even notice it during the day. Which I did enjoy BLN on my fascinate, but seems like it wouldn't work very well on the charge.

That's not at all true if you're indoors. The button backlight is plenty noticeable even under fluorescent lights, and would be even moreso flashing.
I could be wrong but I believe this (BLN or back LED flash) is only possible through some custom kernel work, and since we have no kernel source code yet it can't be done... your best bet now, at the cost of battery life, would be noLED

Ya it is a custom mod for a kernel. Could be cherry picked into the froyo kernel source from neldar's github.
Fyi I am having IMoseyOn take a look into it since the people have spoken

Thanks. Currently I switched back to froyo so if I could cherry pick it in there, that would be awesome

Does the skyrocket have a notification light for missed calls, SMS, etc...or itps there a way to get it working?
Sent via rooted SkyRocket
There's no notification LED on the device.
Just use NOLED from the Market or XDA.
Just tried noled, and it doesn't work...it also lagged the a$&% out of my phone...anyone else got this to work on the skyrocket?
Sent via rooted SkyRocket
when I had the OGSGS2 I also tried NoLED as well. It was a pain in the arse to work with.
it was only compatible with Widgetlocker and the Samsung's unlock screen always gave it trouble (double unlock). Go SMS Pro pop-up would over sees NoLED... etc..etc..
Essentially I was pretty fed up with trying to get everything to coexist.
The only other alternative is wait for a kernel with BLN support on the SkyRocket. Hopefully the source code will be release soon, then we can start working on compiling new kernels with new features
NoLed worked on my, i have I727 on Rogers, i think this is same phone as on ATT
What about the home, etc. buttons?
What about the light up "home", etc. buttons at the bottom? I'm actually annoyed that I can't see them at night when they're off.
Maybe someone could figure out how to control their lighting as a surrogate notification light.

Go into Noled, miscellaneous... you need to select "show physical buttons" in Back light.

Thanks for bringing my attention to this.. I was using NoLED when I should be using a BLN app.
I think this will do it for me ..
