Title says it all. Is there a method/app? What colors does the LED support? I've seen blue and white. Really would like to specify for certain notifications. Thanks!
Get light flow.
if you're rooted and using a Modaco rom, the required trackball alert framework modifications are present.
Light flow worked like a champ. Hopefully something will be baked into the Revolution ROMs.

I dont know if you are using the free or the paid version but the paid version is definitely worth it if you like different notification lights.
..................................
I use Light flow as well and it works perfectly. All available colors work and with the latest update you have options to clear from the notification bar now. Great app.

Anyone know if there has been a mod/script/patch/app to allow for customisation of the LED notification yet?
Lightflow doesn't seem to work on ICS and haven't been able to find anything else - would love to tweak it - happy to test - my nexus is root ready for anyone wanting to make me a crash test.
Cheers.

Wrong forum really..... But the only 2 options are Lightflow (works for me) or Trackball notification that works with Paul's Rom.

Did you pull that from the market? I get no notice colours? Pro or Free?
Actually, just ran "test all LEDs" under tools, and its come good on LightFlow - random.
Thanks
Mods - feel free to kill.
LightFlow work (check "Run in foreground")
LightFlow works fine for me. Notification LED is only shown when the screen is off.
...If you didn't already know that...
LightFlow works for me about 60-80% of the time. But it's not very reliable.
Light Flow seems to work for me okay so far. The only issue is that the colors aren't "true." What I mean by that is that my "yellow" glow has some red and green in it as well, especially around the edges of the notification light.
Anyone else seeing this?

Not true. You can have it on while the screen is on using lightflow

Trying to see who knows what colors are possible for the notification LED on the SGSIIE4GT. I am rooted, but on any stock (or stockish) ROM there is a red notification LED color and then blue when it is charged. So I flashed over to CM7.2 alpha RC6 (because CM integrated LED controls into the settings menu) but I have no color options. I can only control the pulse. Interesting though is that when running this version of Cyanogenmod, the "charged" notification LED color is magenta. I also tried downloading ChompSMS (which allows you to assign custom LED colors to incoming SMS/MMS notifications) but I got no LED at all! Now running TNz Blend ROM and back to the same old red notification LED and blue charged LED.
Not sure if I am running into limitations of software (or drivers) or if this is a physical limitation of the LED only being capable of three colors (red, blue and magenta).
Anyone know about this?

This has been discussed many times before. You can get red, blue, and magenta is a mix of both. you can use blink from the market to control this but no magenta option.

Sorry for the double post then. On that note, what app do you use to browse forums on your phone? I am using tapatalk and used the search function to find a thread on this topic which brought back no relevant results.
Thanks for your help.

Use the XDA app in the Market.
I know there are a bunch of threads on how to change the color, and I use blink to do it right now myself. However, most of the threads I have read talk of the issue where the colors flash in kinda the opposite way they should, constantly on, blink off then back on. Does anyone know how to fix this?
First off I was looking at rooms and noticed there are no Android 4.0 roms??? That are stable?
Aosp roms? Or tw 4.0?
We have both roms. And both do have bugs
Before you ask search
Like he said we do have 4.0.3. Check the development thread to see what's out there. The closest to stable is raverx black edition which is touch wiz based but you can always use apex launcher if you want an asop experience. Raver also has asop almost completed but alas the ics roms we do have out are a bit buggy but some can be daily drivers. Either way, nandroid backup and try em out till you find what's good for you cheers!

i'm running ics megamix with apex launcher and it's been pretty stable.
raver's black edition had a lot fcs for me and really wasn't good enough for dd.
and racing's was good, but i only ran the original (with the reboot/shutdown bug).
but as far as i can tell, they really are all about the same, just with different levels of debloating (which raver's has the least bloat, but i think that led to some of the instability i encountered) and some different bootanimations/theme tweaks.
the main bugs are autorotate is broken and some people have call echo, but i haven't experienced call echo on any that i've ran.
There is a stock rom ported from at & ts sgs2 ics update. That's as close as you get to official for us. There's only one bug the rotation is whack and it's full of atts bloat other then that it's good.

My last question is I know it doesn't have a notification light and I read somewhere that there is a way to make the capactive buttons (the ones on the bottom menu home etc) light up instead

the most common i've seen is called bln, stands for backlight notification (i'm pretty sure there are others, too, but i'm not familiar with them). you need a compatible kernel, though, and so i don't think any of the ics can support it yet.

There's an app called BLN Control in the Market too.

Not really a actually ics ROM for the 989 I dont think. But official one will drop soon so id just flash darksides ROM or Mr x if your Telus. I use golauncher with a ics theme and it looks alot like it.

The kernel in the ROM must support BLN for it to work. There is another app on the market that will work on any ROM. It is called NoLED. It does not use the capacitive buttons but will show a light or if configured an icon on your screen even when screen is off for any apps you choose for it to manage. it will use separate icons for phone, sms, etc... so you know what you missed instead of just the lights like with BLN.
I've been hearing so much about them but I installed them and they don't seem to do anything. I hear everyone talking about it.... could someone tell me what it does for OUR device?

BLN stands for Backlight Notifications, when you get a notification your LED lights on the front of your phone (i.e. menu, home, back, and search buttons) light up. As for "light flow light," idk..

...as long as the kernel youre running supports it
"Light flow" changes the color of your led light, it doesn't work on the sgs2 since we don't have an led.
If you have BLN Pro you can make your backlights blink whenever you have a text message or notification.

Light flow gives you the ability to have bln for all apps. It will not change the color but it will enable bln for whatever you have set in light flow. For example, stock messaging

lol thanks for asking, i was searching for what BLN mean.
Just thought I would share that this app works great with the nexus 4. It actually is running flawless for me right now go check it out in play store. You can control your led light on the front of the device with just about any notification and color
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite
Yeah I love light flow I use it on my galaxy nexus
Luckily one of the android blog sites helped test the app so I managed to get a release out before the phone came out. I'd hoped to get one myself, but 10 cart errors later and they'd all gone!
Glad it seems to be working ok. I'm working on improving the calendar reminder notification as they seem to go a little crazy at the moment due to change in the way notifications are displayed now (ie snooze a notification and it won't totally disappear from your notification bar - you won't get an icon, but it's still there when you pull down the bar). So this is causing some extra notifications while on snooze, but I'm hoping to get a fix out for it soon. At least I can recreate it on my galaxy nexus on 4.2.
I was getting my led glowing randomly since installing so I uninstalled.. Was I doing something wrong?
Also how badly does lightflow affect the battery?
Thanks

I have the full version.
I've noticed some colours aren't working properly. eg. Indigo will show the some colour LED as red, Navy and Blue look the same too.
Would really appreciate if someone could make a list of all the true colours that actually work?

A couple of things with this. Swiping away notifications won't stop the led at the moment: vote for this android feature request here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23106
Also try adding the light flow debugger widget to a homescreen as that will tell you which notifications it thinks are on.
As for battery drain, I think it varies for different people depending on what settings they use. I try to set the default app settings to be fairly sensible on battery drain.

I'm planning in a future release to have a section where you can remap the preset colors to new RGB values as it's one of those things that varies a little from phone to phone. The colors were originally based on what the nexus one could manage (it was probably the best phone for color representation) and then tweaked a little for the galaxy nexus.
As I've not seen a nexus 4 (stupid google play checkout errors) yet I've not been able to experiment.
I installed the lite app, dunno why, my led was active all the time (white colour), even without notifications or plane mode. I uninstalled the app, and now my led doesnt work (Nexus 4)
I'd really like to jump on board with this app, but after a report of "My LED doesn't work anymore" I'm scared. I think I'll wait for the dev to get his own n4 to work out n4 specific kinks/quirks.

Regarding to this, I have to say that the custom color mode works very straight for me, the color that I chose is the colour what I see (taking into account the obvious deviations from IPS and RGB led, of course).
Under Settings there's something that says "Additional LEDs Found" and there's 4 LEDs there:
lcd-backlight control
lm3530 control
pm8xxx-led control
spotlight control
Any idea what these are for?
Thanks

Also, it does seem to work well so far, but testing the LED in-app does not work. Any idea why this is?
Anyone having problems with Gmail? If I set Light Flow to use priority inbox I don't get notification lights. If I uncheck use priority inbox then it works.

the testing does work. when you get the popup about waiting 5 seconds, immediately click the wake/power button and you should see the led trigger the tests.
Developer said Priority Inbox isn't working right under 4.2. Will be fixed once a fix is found. Regular inbox is fine.

I have a weird bug with LightFlow. When it is enabled i will randomly get Accessibility voice when inside chrome. Like, she will say "NEW TAB" or she will call out the page title of every thing. Then if I disable light Flow, the bug is gone.
Would like to use it but if with this here....i can't. Unless i got something set up wrong, but i check all accessibility settings and they are off except for light flow

Check other Lightflow threads. I remember reading about on the S3 thread or GN thread. I've never had it happen, but remember some other people talking about it.
Tested it a couple of day and is not working properly, light notifications are very slow to get dismissed and sometimes the led blink without a reason

What? No. Outside of only inbox and not priority inbox it's working great. Same as on my S3. It sounds like you didn't properly setup your dismiss settings for how you want it. There are a lot of options.
