Hello all. I am using the latest AOKP on my S3. I had previously used it on my Galaxy Nexus and the LED Control worked great. But i can't get any LED notifications at all on my S3. The only time the LED comes on is when i have an incoming call, which isn't a setting that I have anyway. Does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere that i'm missing that is turning off the LED notifications? Or does it just not work on the S3? The stock rom LED notifications worked.
Just came to my mind, on the Nexus i was using the last milestone build and on the S3 I have the latest nightly build. But that shouldn't be the cause.
Any ideas? Light Flow, light manager also provide no LED notifications.
Thanks
Go to setttings->display->pulse led notification (or something like that)

haha, that did it...thanks.
btw, the LED quality is much poorer on the S3 than on the GNexus. Light what is supposed to be orange is mostly green, a spec of orange. other users have same result?

Yes. Its because of the led that's used. They used 3 different LEDs instead of one multi colored one. So when you're using a custom color, its a mixed rgb color.

I've tried the following three apps:
LED Color Tester
LED Tester
Light Flow Lite - LED Control
No matter what I do with any of these apps, even using the Administrative access mode, compatability mode, screen off, etc, none will show any color aside from Green.
How are people getting different colors??
I think the only colors we have are orange and green. Orange being used for charging and notifications, and green being used to signify that the battery is full.

Ok, but how are people using orange for custom notifications via the above apps?
I can't even get orange to work, even though our phone clearly supports it.
Try 'LED Me Know'

Still no other colors.
Keyboard mode doesn't work either.
Tried with Compatability on or off.
Does it work for you with other colors?
I think that the only colors we can get are orange and green, on 'LED Me Know' I can get both colors and the capacitive buttons to work just fine.
Is it possible to have that notification LED different colors at all? Like I remember with the Nexus One, the trackball was RGB. Same with our notification LED, but just needs the proper tweaking? Or not even possible?

I don't think it's possible. It's something I really miss from my BlackBerry - the LED was completely customizable.

Well, we do know it has the ability to flash GREEN, ORANGE, and RED.
So if it isn't RGB, which would be silly considering it's already 2/3, hopefully someone will find a way for us to customize it. I would prefer the LED to blink rapidly or something so I can just quick glance at it, instead of waiting a few seconds(in which case I'll just press the power button to see for myself). Sadly nothing I've tried so far will take control of the notification LED.
it can only show orange, red and green...kinda disappointing, cuz i like to use different colors for certain notifications...but its not that big a deal
Hi all,
I know the Atrix 2 has the green blinking LED that seems to do nothing except blink with no rhyme or reason that I can see... it acts more like a "I'm on and working" LED than a notification system... Can this LED be programmed for notification? Can it blink in any other color besides green?
That was one thing I loved about my old Windows Mobile Tilt/HTC Kaiser - the LED would blink orange/red if there was a missed call or text message - I didn't have to turn on the screen at all to check...
It would be really nice if the LED on the Atrix 2 could do this....
Mine does only blink for notifications.... As far as different colors???? Idk

There are several apps that allow you to set options for the led. Light Flow seems to have the most options.

It can with Light Flow - but i thought it bugged out my system, so i removed it..
Now, as for modding the led without an app... that's a different story that i've been looking into, and it doesn't seem to have a happy (or simple) ending at this point..

Excellent info! Thanks for the heads up on Light Flow! Works like a champ!
i use light flow
Um. Yeah. It blinks white when you have certain notifications, it blinks blue for Facebook, it blinks green for texts and emails, red when the battery is low, it can go purple. You must not use your phone that much...
That's all stock, mind you.

I had no idea. I've never seen it blink in any color other than green and then when it did I didn't have any notifications so I assumed... and it appears wrongly.
Thanks for the info. I'll pay more attention as I go... and yes, I've only had the phone for about a week (I traded my Dell Streak for my g/f's Atrix 2 since it was giving her fits) - already loaded Lithium 1.2.1 and this phone rocks!
Has anyone Confirmed that our LED is a multi-colored LED. I have not been able to change the LED notification color through Go SMS Pro, and other apps.
I'll keep looking into it, but have not seen any spec sheets that say differently.
Update: Wikipedia states that the LED Can only Flash Green or "Orange" (i see red)
It is multicolored. It was red when I plugged in, then when the battery was full it went to green.

Same results here. Red/green.
Wish I could do different colors to correspond to different app notifications but it's better than no LED on my old Fascinate.
Never realized how much I missed a notification LED until that phone -_-

Read on one of the reviews that the LED is not customizable (through light flow) and they couldn't even get the app to work even with HTC direct mode enabled.
I'm just happy there's an LED at all. Coming from an SGS2 it surely is a time saver.
here's to hoping it's just a ROM swap away from customization.
I think we are SOL on customized led notifications. The last 3 HTC devices I had (inspire, EVO 3d, and vivid) were unable to change colors.

Sorry. Posted on wrong thread. Noob on xda I am.
Looks like a true multicolour LED
I know that HTC say that the notification LED can only do orange and green but I'm guessing that the hardware is multicolour capable (i.e. Red, green, orange, yellow, possibly even blue, white, etc).
I say this for the following reason; the hue of the green LED.
It is not the green colour that you normally get from a green only LED (which normally has a slightly yellowish hue). The HTC green LED colour has a blueish hue that indicates that the green comes from a multicolour LED. Also normally the orange that HTC state you should see when charging would normally come from a green and red led (or dual colour led) lit together. My HTC One X lights red NOT orange when charging.
Perhaps my observations are incorrect am I'm just seeing what I want but if anyone has a link to HTC it would be good to get an answer on this.

When commanded through Light Flow, you have three options, Green, Deep Orange (Looks red) and Orange (which is more yellowish then the deep red)
My fear is that the LED Is not an RGP LED which means we can not make every color.
any update on this for the AT&T One X?
Multicolor led can work only if some kernel dev activates it but we need the source and i have not seen any kernel devs yet working for the hox

Yeah i too miss my N1 and the trackball/LED. It was great for taking pictures (dedicated shutter) Trackball wake was the **** and the multitude of colors was a great feature. I had a different color for almost every notification. I knew if i missed a call, got an email, a text message, calendar alert, etc from the other side of the room. When my girl took it over the colored notifications was enough to catch her cheating ass in a lie (or two) lol.
eX picks up phone, reads it, says i missed a call from my mom. I'm thinking but the light was blue for text. Red is missed call. I checked it later and sure enough was a text from her ex. No missed call from mom :victory:

This did make me chuckle...but as you say, the different colours are/were epic! Is there NO way we can get more colours out of the HOX?? I'll be honest...had I known this little detail too, I might just gave gone the SGS3 route...sigh
A week or so ago, I installed LightFlow just to see what it was all about and utilize its "solid led" function instead of the stock blinking led. Come to find, it is chock full of features and it was looking good for me but some of the main things I wanted out of it weren't quite working the way I wanted them to, so I simply un installed it.
The problem I now have is that when my screen is asleep, even when plugged in the red led telling you it's charging won't show up, and none of the other led notifiers work either, so I think I essentially broke the led notification function of my phone... :banghead:
A reboot doesn't help the fact either... Anyone got any ideas?
I forgot to mention that when shutting down, the blue LED is on like normal, so the LED itself isn't broken.

So you uninstalled Light Flow correct? Because I haven't heard of it ruining LED's even after an uninstall. Are you using a TW rom? If so, have you turned the LED indicator back on under Settings/Display?

Any luck with finding an app to customize the LED notification colors? Was a big fan of Lightflow back in the Galaxy Nexus & S4 days, not sure if that still works on the S8+ and S8? I don't use AOD so would be nice to tell what kind of notification I have based off color. Also the LED blinks kind of slowly.

thanks, downloaded the lightflow legacy version. working great!
I saw that the recommend the legacy version, but I have stuck with the "new" ? version and it is working fine as well. I am not using the AOD, and they mentioned something about that. Maybe that is why I don't need the legacy version. i have only been using it for a couple days, but all is well.
I got the notification that 'Legacy' version works better for Galaxy phones didn't try it after downloading, will try it now!
Does light flow let u customize the flash rate of the led? I've used light manager in the past but on my s8 plus it doesn't let me have the led flash fast. It's Alot slower then when I had light manager on my phones in the past. Even when I have it set to .01 second

Yes you can. There are presets or you can make your own for each app. For instance, if you set your own to "50,8000", the led will be on for 50ms, then off for 8000ms
Does anyone notice dim LED while the phone is in dark place or pocket?
Is this due to the fact that the LED is also Light Sensor controlled?
Also, can someone check on the Settings - > Led Control, are there any LEDs listed under the additional LEDs section?
I have a way to fix(dim led) it on my S7 edge but want someone with S8 / + to confirm if this issue exisit there was well please.
