LED Notifications (G2X App)

I was using this app for my G2X and thought it might be nice if the developer could make it work for the Sensation, since the notification light is so small. I emailed him to see if it was possible. Any interest in this let the developer know.
It's pretty cool, it lights up the bottom four keys and pulses them when you get a message, so when your screen is off you see the white lights blinking. You can set the times and if you want it to fade in and out.

cool app, i used it on my g2x also... think he can make our notification light blink in different colors? probably only green/red/orange... about to try an app I used on my mt4g to see if it works

I am using Gmail Notifier that I loved on my n1. Unfortunately, you can't select colors of the led (even limited choice that we see on the sensation).
I used the other one on my g2x as well but what I really want is to be able to tell which gmail account an email came from by led notification. Fingers crossed for someone to create something like this.

Plus one on this one.. I miss that feature since my nexus one

That is BLN and the developer is Neldar.

The developer for led notifications g2x responded to my email. he said it would depend on the software but he doesn't have a sensation so for now he's not sure

Will give bln a try once we have root and a kernel that supports it. Looks pretty cool.

Is this still possible now that we have temp root? I would really like this app to work on my sensation.

Found the App for this, it's called Led Me Know. Works perfectly for the led notifications. You have to enable keyboard light up and compatability mode.

its right in the app when you first open it

What's keyboard light up and what does it do? I have it working on my Sensation, but it's pretty much like the stock notifications, nothing too different other than the frequency.

Do you mean the captive buttons? It doesn't work with compatibility checked. Only thing it does is flash the small led on top.
EDIT: Captive buttons do not light in my case. Do I need to check the box labeled screen on as well?

Ok I forgot to mention you have to have temp root and another app to make this work. Its called Light Flow and the way I made it work was having the paid app. I opened up Light Flow, it asked me for root access, I accepted it, then it asked me to turn on Accessibility. So i did and checked Light Flow. Once I did all that, I went back into the app and went to General Settings, clicked direct mode. Once I did that I scrolled a little further down to "Button back light control" and clicked the option "Control-when the screen is off". After that I went into "Notification" clicked "SMS" and scrolled down to "Button backlight LED" and chose "Solid". Now this is where LED me know comes into play.
I opened LED me know and I made sure "Compatability" was checked. I clicked all the services I want like SMS, Missed Calls, and Gmail. Now I clicked the "Notifications" tab and clicked SMS, I chose LED color to whatever I liked (Green) then chose the LED Frequency to Normal, but you can change that. After all that, checked Keyboard and Keyboard blink. Test it and see if it works.

Wow, I just tried the pre-release of LED me know, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13929058&postcount=495 and it asked for root permission. Ever since that, its been working great without having to do all these steps I posted. Can anyone try this method?

Just tried using this version and seems to be working well for me. No need to bother with the steps in the previous post.

So, you don't need paid LightFlow after all?

capacitive buttons

Hi. Are the buttons supposed to light up? Mine don't. Is this normal?

They light up on mine.
It does look like it is controlled by the light sensor.

More specifically only in certain light conditions. The buttons rely on the light sensor to tell them when to light up.

Any way of stopping them lighting at night? Reason I ask is I use Gentle Alarm and when 'Night Display' is enabled they will remain on even when in Night Display mode I press the power button off then on and they still come on? Not had the problem on other phones.

[APP][ROOT] Moto X Charging LED Control - No Tasker Needed! [v1.4]

So after seeing a few posts of people complaining about having to buy Tasker just to turn on the LED. I decided to help those people out and create a simple app that runs the shell command to turn on the LED on our Moto Xs
Of course props to whomever figured out these shell commands (please reply with who it is so i can give credit) and to the dev of RootTools
Once the requirement of the phone being plugged in for the LED to turn on is bypassed, this app could become a whole lot more. But that's a big road block.
In the meantime this will simply turn on your LED based on the setting chosen and based on whether your battery is fully charged or not. This app was designed for the Moto X only (4.4 rooted) but has been confirmed to work on the new DROIDs too (Maxx & Ultra)
Usage:
Select an option for the LED: heartbeat (pulses like a heartbeat), battery-charging (solid while charging), battery-full (solid when full), battery-charging-or-full (solid when plugged in), mmc0 (pulses based on disk reads/writes)
Select a brightness.
Save if you want to use your choice for when the device is charging or it's battery full - or hit both buttons to save it for both scenarios.
Scroll down and select if you want it to the apply your settings on boot then hit the execute button
Change log:
1.5 - Source code uploaded to github: https://github.com/StephenMilone/MotoX_LED
1.4 - No more crashes =)
1.3 - Fixed 1.2 issue of it not automatically switching from charging to full (hopefully - i haven't had time to fully charge my device to test)
1.2 - Added ability to pick different settings for battery charging and battery full
1.1 - Added Brightness options
1.0 - Initial Release

Have you thought about adding being able to change the brightness? echo # >/sys/class/leds/charging/max_brightness #=0-255

We'll see how much this app gains interest, that is something that can be worked on.
But it seems the LED only goes on when plugged in, regardless of setting.

Thank you, very useful. At least now I know mine works

What's the mmc0 option?

Gave you app some exposure on g+. Hopefully you can get more hits.

Great app and option! Does the LED turn off when fully charged? Thank you for making this.

nice
whats the heartbeat option?

@StephenMilone it would be cool if you could make it so that when it's charging you get the heartbeat, and when it's fully charged it stays on.

Works on Droid Maxx! XT1080
Confirmed working on the Droid Maxx, which unfortunately has a much uglier LED than the Moto X. @StephenMilone, do you mind if i post a link in the Droid forums?

I'm not sure, but use battery-charging and let us know! If not, I can add options that if charging do one option (like charging), if full do another (like none)

Does this mess with active notifications? Meaning, if I turn LED on using this, do AN's cease? Thought I saw that might be an issue using other methods.

Was your phone around any type of moisture? Or did it get wet somehow? I've read in some of the water damage threads that some people experience the red flashing notification light after it's been damaged from water.

No i dont think it got wet it was on top of a table and the room was cool and dry

Some apps use a red notification LED by default. I know my fiancee uses the SportsCenter app and it pulses the LED red when there's a notification.

i see the same happen on my G2, usually when i pull into my driveway and i connect to my wifi

I'm a relatively new nexus 5 user and am sometimes confused by what the color leds correspond to. Is there a tool that will indicate which app sends which color led signal?

I know Push Bullet gives me green notifications. I'm stock as well.

I think i found the problem its my zynga poker app that gets a red notification light

I am rooted but using stock rom.
Various apps utilize led notifications but it is hard after a while to remember which color corresponds to which app. I thought there might be a tool, not to modify them but just to list which app sends which color. But I guess not.
Thanks.

If I remember correctly, the LED light does flash red when the phone is charging, I myself downloaded Light Flow, which allows you to manage all aspects of the LED light, I like it much better than not having control over it . But like you said you did nothing, so must be just an app you have.

I wonder if an app that monitored the logcat could deduce who the heck triggered the light so you could at least find out what app was responsible?

OP camera ring / notification LED

All,
Has anyone noticed the green ring and dot that shows up next to the selfie cam when it's being used, like in face unlock?
If so, do you think it'll be possible to use this as a notification LED like previous OP devices? Do we know if other devices with a hole punch have that ability?

I don't have that and I'm on the kb2007 t-mobile variant

I have it on mine. I wish it was available for use as a notification. Until it is...if ever...I use the app listed below and it works great! You can make the sides, top, bottom, or all of them light up...and you can make it light up just around the selfie camera...looks great. The settings are a little wonky but once you figure it out it is really cool.

I wouldn't really call it a concern. I just don't really feel the need to have always on display on, so there's no need to spend any battery life on it regardless of how small.
Plus, I am a little concerned in the back of my mind about the long-term effects of warp charging all the time on the battery. I know they have a bunch of built-in sensors and all that jazz, but still.
