Hello folks,
does anybody know, if it is possible to change the brightness of the capacitive buttons? Maybe some kind of app or xposed module? It is really a pain in the eye, if the display itself is acceptably dark but everytim you use the buttons it is like a kind of little flash - and yes, i know that i can disable them. But that is not the thing i want.
Hi
Is not quite what you want...is an old app and i have not tested on the S7

Thanks, but this is a simple overlay for the display. I am looking for something to dim the buttons only.

Hi
Check this app
Or this thread is for the S6 and you need to be root but probably works
Since those buttons are LEDs, correct me if I am wrong, you could adjust their brightness PWM style but that would require an app that would disable and enable them many times a second to not see flickering. That would eat some processing power, albeit little. And I am also pretty sure this would require root if it's actually possible at all. Don't know about any apps that do this, also wanted one for myself.

If you're in a power saving mode, it disables the button lights.

Maybe this belongs in the development area but...
The evo3d got a notification led wich i like...what about if we can make the capacitive button led's blink or something when we have a mail and sms...
Maybe more guys have this idea but well....tell me if its possible and a good idea
It is probably possible and I think developers will have a hand on it if they havent yet.
It will be eventually supported.
this idea is awesome. i think it is possible

Glad someone's liking it
This would be a nice to have for sure. If can light up those "buttons" to use for notification, it will be great.
This is already done with O2X, so it is definitely on the way for us
My previous phone was GalaxyS which had no led aswell.
I used a programmed called NoLed on the Galaxy. Installed on Optimus 3d and seems to work fine.

It doesnt support the capacitive button led's.
Sorry i was only suggesting this as a temporary alternative until further developments.
I really like this idea!
But is it possible to expand on it further?
Since there's 4 capacitive buttons on the phone, are we able to make them blink individually?
For example... home button blinks when we have a missed call, menu button blinks when we have a message, back button blinks when we have an email, and etc?
Noled seems to be working fine for me...

Unfortunately not. As the app page states, AMOLED uses no power displaying a fully black pixel so displaying alerts on the screen takes very little power.
Now as the O3D has an old fashioned LCD, it consumes potentially a ton of power just to turn the screen on at all, because it has to light the whole screen just to start. Plus, it uses the MOST power displaying black (least displaying all white), so it would need the opposite behaviour.
[UPDATE]
Ah I see you can make the screen blink, I didn't notice that at first. Might actually be useful then.
i've tested it with the developer of the LG notification app. it seems, that the files which have to be used are'nt writeable. so without root it won't work
perhaps we should send tons of mails to LG, that they make it possible.

Also the notifications can have a time limit, i have set at 15mins and haven't noticed any battery drain.
Modified 2X/Black touch led notification app
Hi guys,
I've modified Martin Börjesson's app and now it works on ROOTed O3D and I'll upload it soon.
To-do:
1) fading doesn't work
2) change of brightness doesn't work
What will never work
1) separate LEDs - I don't think there's a way to control each of them, only all 4 LEDs

I just added Lockscreen widgets to my app TouchLight which makes it pretty sweet.
Why not just use an led toggle in the notifications? Good question anon, the lock screen widget gives you access to multiple on screen lights as well as the led. It also turns down the screen brightness and works really well for being able to toggle the light on and off as often as you like.

Hope you all like the app.

Hey Bro,
I need help with coding.
i created a flashlight application by using camera API getCamera()
it works but when the screen goes off or i minimize the application the led light turns off.
looking forward for your reply.

The LED is tricky, lots of devices have a lot of different quirks with them so make sure your issues are not devices specific. When I was programming the LED stuff awhile ago I remember having the opposite problem.
I don't know about getCamera() and don't see anything about it in the docs. I use camera = Camera.open() (the rear camera is the default). I have to release the camera (camera.release()) on pause or else it caused problems with the stock camera app. To turn the light on I set the flash mode, parameters and then startPreview. I found this to work on the most devices. Some devices like autoFocus to be set also but a greater amount hate it.
Also remember that you have to give your users a way to turn it off when the app is not opened. I would recommend a notification. If they have to reopen your app through multitasking to turn it off that's a "fail, one star, uninstall" type of a thing.
Anyone noticed that the led is really weak/dim.

Is there?? The notification one.
There's also a flash led...
Anyway, I agree, the front led is not too bright. Perfect afaic
I agree, really too dim and the frequency is too slow. Everyone is wondering why I stare at my phone with the screen off ! I can't seem to get Light Manager working too. Anyone ?

I have a P8 Max also. Light manager didn't work with it, but Light Flow does. Use that instead.
Ok thank you, I will try it, but I will miss the "Do not disturb" setting" in light manager.
I have to use this built-in function in Emui but it's disturbing, as the phone vibrate when disabling it in the morning. Would there be a way to silence it?
Thank you

I believe light flow functions in the exact same ways. It has a lot of options built in. Play around with the settings.
On my european Mate 9 light manager works without problems.
Does anyone know if it's possible to deactivate the horrible yellow eye care thing on the second screen? I looked everywhere but all I found was the option to adjust the intensity.
Thanks in advance.

It's in the settings turn to basic and it turns it off
Howdy!
I am trying to set that when I receive a message, it will show a small notification light on the mobile, like I used to have on previous android, but cannot find any option for it...
Is it possible that a so modern phone does not have it?
Thanks

There's physically no led notification light anywhere on the phone that could light up.
You can search for apps on the Play Store that sort of try to imitate having one, but afaik none of them work reliably anymore.

"lackness"
I'm fairly sure that it's been dropped industry-wise for many many years now, much like the 3.5mm jack.
Ambient/Always-on-Display is sort of a replacement for having a notification light though, might want to look deeper into configuring it. I think there's also 3rd party apps that let you configure your AOD even further.

You can be right again, maybe I am old fashioned but I found it useful.
I initially deactivated the AOD for reducing distractions, but I can activate it again if this is only way to see notification without pushing power button to activate screen again

Don't get me wrong, I used to be an absolute sucker for an led notification light.
Keep in mind that AOD and Ambient Display aren't the same. AOD, as the name suggests, keeps the screen always on, whereas Ambient Display just wakes the screen whenever you receive a notification. I only have the latter turned on.

most phones now doesn't have big bezels not only 6a. so where will you put that notification light? the best you can do.. use a rom with an oldschool feature, that will blink flashlight for notification. like this..

There are actually several phones out that also don't have big bezels but there's a tiny notification led hidden behind/next to the earpiece. Common sense.
I use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.aodnotificationledlight
You can configure it so that it 'flashes' only a few times when a notification comes in. So far I haven't noticed any battery drain.

Already suggested but 1 more vote for HoleyLight.
Chainfire is a community member and respected dev and the app is pretty configurable. Should probably cover your needs nicely.
