srry, i meant the button lights on the bottom

There is an app in the Market called LG 2X/Black/3D Notifications that works with the G2X. It worked without root with 2.2 but apparently it requires root with 2.3.3 due to some changes LG made to the phone.

Yup I use the one phburks suggested works very nice, the developers of the app fixed the root issue with 2.3.3, works flawless

thx
just got it, works perfectly thanks!

Nice to know they fixed it. I haven't tried it on 2.3.3 and was just going off the Market description. Lol

I wouldn't call it fixing the root issue. I just downloaded and installed the app and it required root permission to make the file writable and has to do so at every boot. So if you are not rooted it will not work on 2.3.3 on our device.

Does not work for me.

Thanks for the clarification.

is there any other app in the market that will do the same thing without rooting?

No it is not possible. LG changed the permissions on the file that controls the soft key lights in Gingerbread. It is now a read only file. In order to write to it and turn on the lights you must be rooted so the app can change the permissions.

Their always the no led app

noLED is a battery drain from my experience....

I think this one sucks compared to the CM7 one. CM7 one has slightly better options and less annoying. That is, unless someone can tell me how to not get this one to "pulse" the lights and give the option to cler with touch of home key.

does this do the same thing as the LG 2X/Black/3D Notifications that everyone is talking about without rooting?

No. it basically turns your screen on when you get a notification and shows icons depending on what you have...mail..txt..etc. It keeps the screen on until you check it (i think you can set it on a timer tho). But yeah..its a battery drain.

[LED] CM6 Led Settings Enabled CMParts.apk

http://android.erley.org/CMParts.apk
I've recompiled CMParts from git to enable support for changing the LED Notifications. Just download and install.
Before people go complaining, yes 90% of the settings don't work, and will never work on our phones. That's due to hardware limitations, not software issues. This is here for those that missed that working 10%. Will update with each new CM6 release, as long as I have a hero (being divested to AT&T).
Will this work for the trackball?

Supposedly? Maybe? It's uninstallable so it wouldn't hurt to try and report back. I built it trying to solve a different issue, that it didn't solve. I figured it might be useful to others (especially those that used this in the nightlies when it was enabled).
okay so maybe i am having a brain fart but how in the hell do you install this i tried doing it from recovery but that didnt work so did i miss something i cant do it from in the phone as well ????

Just install using Astro
I don't think the trackball notifications will work with this, those are still locked. But this will let you change the LED notification settings (color, etc.)
Maybe in the OP we should put a list of working colors, although as far as I know it's just green and orange.

So would that .apk work with CM 6.1? I am still getting a solid color when my notification lights go off, even when I pick the blink frequency within handscent.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Blink

After installing 2.1, blink no longer seems to function.
Does anybody know why or have any solutions?
Thanks
Yeah i noticed this myself but I thought cause I hadn't went through to do the setup again for it, I'll see how it goes since I change some colors up.
I have found blink is working, but only when the phone is locked
For me it is not working only for incoming SMS

text notification light

Hi, how do I make it so my g2x turns on it's light to let me know whenever I have a new text? I had this feature on before but it stopped working a couple of days ago and I can't seem to find the setting for it again. It currently works for missed calls but not when I have a text message I didn't read.
I am on CM7

The app I use is LG 2X/Black/3D Notification. Works great for me. You may need root before it will work.
But before I didn't need to use an external app. I don't know why but it stopped working for me all of a sudden.
Go to settings>CyanogenMod settings>interface>led notifications, then assign to whatever you want. But I also use the LG g2x/ black/ notification app. It works best.

Thank you! It works now It's weird though, I didn't have to do that before.

CM_Arcee's ICS Beta ROM Discussion Thread

I feel like it deserves its own thread in the General section as the other one mainly pertains to ICS development.
Anyways, my voice to text was working flawlessly at first but not anymore. Anyone else having the same problem?
And if you're still unsure about running it, here's a short vid on it and how it runs.

i get a weird problem that went im in the messenger app, if im typing in landscape and then go back to portrait the screen has a weird black overlay and I cant really see anything... it wont go away unless i restart the app... other than that stuff is running fine
Edit: I think this is a known problem because its an "android 4" app... he mentioned they would be glitchy

Its kind of strange, people can receive my messages but I won't get theirs when they reply. I've tried wiping cache and reflashing but it was still a problem.

Yeah hardware acceleration isn't really fully working yet since its just a hack at the moment. That's why apps that utilize it are still weird at the moment. But hopefully he is able to fix that in the near future.

The only real issue I have is when I tap the screen, sometimes it'll act as if I'm holding down on where I tapped. Camera works for me now, but attempting to take picture make it not respond, asking me to force close. Still, it's good been good enough to use all day for me.

does gps work correctly??
Camera doesn't work, any suggestions? It will start up and take a picture but then freezes.
get the camera 360 app from the market. it works perfect for me.
GPS works. Not sure if it's more or less stable than Gingerbread though.

LED notification and brightness for stock 2.3.4?

On the new stock 2.3.4 that was just released, there are 2 features I miss greatly.. one is the dimming of the led lights.. and the other is using them as a notification. Has anyone found an app that works? I did find 1 notification app but from what I read, it sucks the battery down cuz it flashes.. can't do a steady light.
Thanks !
Did you try LG Touch LED Notification? It has steady light option.

Try LG Optimus 2x Touch Key Lights. That really works to adjust to light level of these touch keys =)

On the new 2.3.4.. every time I get a txt, my screen turns on for just a sec or 2... I can't find a way to keep the screen off on received txts.

There's a link in the thread I started about the application for notification toggles in this sub-forum. As to your question about the text things. Your phone lights up while you're texting? That's kind of normal don't you think. The screen coming on when the text comes in is a stock messaging thing. Nothing that can be done except installing a custom messaging application, as far as I know, I like that it lights up.

ha, not while i'm texting... duh, the screen would need to be on for that, haha. When I receive a text, the screen turns on. The other day I was txting with a friend then I got into the middle of something and she sent another 5txts.. and the screen kept turning on. Pretty wasteful on the battery..
