im just curious to see what phones out there are close to the google nexus one as far as the notification light system. i like how that worked and im looking for something like that but with a newer phone.
Well, the 1-Year limited warranty is soon to run out on my device, and I'm considering modding the hardware a bit seeing as I've modded it on the software side a ton.
I know of the red capacitive nav button mod and am also considering swapping out the battery for a 35H00197-00M 2100mAh One X+ battery, but what else can I do while I'm in there? Are there any mods for the antennas? Better WiFi and cell reception would be very nice. Should I clean out the mics or speakers or anything? Is it possible to mod the camera, perhaps? Change the lens or something, maybe? Should I replace the LED flash with a new one since I've used this one quite a bit already? Is there any way to improve the notification LED? Put a larger RGB one in there, maybe? I know ElementalX has BLN, but a usable notification LED would be nicer.
Bump
My cousin just got the Razr M, and I noticed that his colors looked much better, and more deep, and they are almost the same phone. Does anyone else see a difference? I notice in CM10 the colors don't look right either, they look lighter.
I have another issue with my screen, I don't know if it's a problem common to all photon Q screen: it seems that screen can't make some colors and mix some lines of a lighter color with some lines of darker color.. the result is orrible..
You can see the problem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386888
Do you also have similar problems or it's another problem?

yes
yes, it's behind the speaker grill.
Good to know. I was comparing it to my Note2 on PhoneArena and they didnt list that as a feature. I was thinking it didnt have it and how much I hated that on my Droid Charge(?). Thanks for the info.

It's really small though. I'm coming from the Droid Razr HD so I'm used to the nice light that phone had. This one is harder to see.

Yeah coming from other devices with LED this is by far the cheapest/most minimal looking. I went even as far to install the 3rd party active notifications app since I got used to it instead of the LED on the Moto X.
It's there. But it's not as bright as it was on the M7.
RGB LED Control Support?
Hey Guys,
Does the M8 support multiple color LED notifications, ie Blue for Facebook, White for SMS, Pink for e-Mail etc?
Generally you need to have Root and installed some Apk/app like 'LightFlow' from the play store.
Such a small feature but a big impact for me to be able to tell what notifications there are from a distance or in a meeting with out waking up the phone.
Im keen to buy a HTC M8 tomorrow if it supports this, if not ill wait for the S5 next week.
Thanks

Any HTC phone I've had uses only green and orange. It's the same for the M8.

Lightflow does not work. I've tested every option and could not get it to work wit the M8. It sucks.

yeah its at an odd place , two down and seven from the right lol (top speaker grill dots). Another thing I noticed is the orange charging/low power light is rather dim but the green notification light is very bright (compared to the other). Anyone else notice this?

Yeah, can't see the orange unless I'm looking at the phone dead on, but I can see the green from across the room.
Before buying this phone, I was well aware of the lack of (customizable) LED notification support with HTC, and it still didn't stop me. This phone makes up for it in so many ways. After using it for a while, I thought for sure someone would at least figure out how to choose between amber and green LEDs for notifications, or even a combination of the two, but it seems only green is allowed somehow. Lightflow didn't work for me either. What a pity, as my Moto Droid could do many colors.
Lightflow worked pretty well for me, currently not using it, but there is a thread around that has a pretty good setup proceedure. I just found that it had some quirks, so I'm back to stock. You can disable the timeout if you edit the default.xml

The stock LED light is pretty doing fine for me. Haven't tried the Lightflow yet for what I know, M8 has a limited colors for its LED light.
I'm unlucky enough to be the owner of one of the OPOs that have a yellow tint on the bottom edge of the display that fades and clears up the closer you get to the middle of the display, like a gradient. Now, there are apps and tweaks to change the hue and calibration of the entire display, but is anyone aware of an app or tweak that can adjust the hue like a gradient? Thinking along the lines of F.lux butas a gradient instead of applying evenly to the entire display.
Can anyone comment on this?
How does nobody know about this or care???
I found a solution, it's literally EXACTLY what I was hoping for.

My only concern now is how much battery it consumes... Guess I'll find out :|

That app works quite well for what it is, and back when I used it, I didn't notice any negative affects on the battery.
It's not that we don't care, but rather, we can't really do anything about it. It's not severe or widespread enough for people to care. In fact, I got banned from OnePlus Forums for caring too much, so there's that.
