Looks similar to the nexus 4 to me, except that it's only white.

Install an app called "LightFlow" to enable colored LED notifications.

The Dev of LightFlow will have to get the device first before he can make his app compatible with it! Come on people!

The nexus 4 led is only white as well on a stock setup. Once you root and install cm/lightflow gets updated, it enabled the other colors.

False. No root was necessary. Light flow worked for the nexus 4 immediately out of the box to give multi colored notifications, just as it did for other devices such as galaxy nexus and droid RAZR.
Maybe an update will fix multi colored notifications on nexus 7, but I'm just saying there have been many devices for which neither an update nor root was required.

False. See above. Some are compatible out of the box.
BTW I'm fine waiting, I'm mostly just asking if anybody knows whether this may be a hardware limitation, ie, the light only physically supports white?

Read it again. I said you can root and install cyanogenmod 10.1 which has native support for multi color LEDs. But since that's not available, the lightflow update is necessary

[REQ] Speed up LED Notifications in Jelly Bean

So, I've been running Jelly Bean for the past few days, and I'm loving it. It's been a little tough coming from AOKP and not having all the features, but I know they're working hard. I've noticed that LightFlow isn't working quite right yet with Jelly Bean. I was wondering how hard it would be for someone to make a zipthemer or a flashable .zip to change the LED notification on/off duration. I was thinking blinking every .5 to 1 second. Anyone else with me? Thanks in advance!
Light flow works great on my phone. All you have to do is open and close the app when the led stays on

Yes open let the app load then close. That will clear all the led that are on for no reason.

I'm finding light flow hardly works at all. On rare occations it would work and that would be if i reset the app and have a persistent icon. I'm really missing this app too. I hope the developer fixes it or someone else gives us an alternative. It's one of those apps id gladly pay $5 dollars for, possibly $10 if it was flawless.
light flow was fixe last week, and it is jelly bean compatible. works fine for me (v. 3.0.4) :good:

You don't have to do this anymore since it was updated for jb. Surprise you didn't realize that unless you don't get updates because you didn't pay for the app

Light flow is not working at all for me,
I run the debuger widget and the light flow notification widget and they indicate that the app simply does not pick up any of my notification.
I have tried everything i can think of to get it to work, like removing other apps that i suspect may be interfering but no luck.:crying:
For those who have issues, you can try trackball alert, available on play store.

LED notification....

Does the Gnex have an LED notification light? I have yet to see one.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Sure does. Its below the display. RGB too.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
The notification light in Gnex is one of my favourite options in the phone. Some ROMs provide full customization of the notification light ( ex. Paranoid android) . I've set it to flash blue for missed calls , yellow for SMS, green for whatsapp and red for tango
It only lights up when the screen is off?

The rom has to support it, and you have to manually set it up...
I installed light flow. That's how I found it. I'm running Affinity rom and have not seen it work before. Maybe the rom doesn't support it.

Lightflow has been really flaky for me (misses many notification events). The built-in settings in CM10 works best. I don't recall it missing anything.

Except for receiving a phone call . It lights when the screen is off or on. That's at least what my phone does with PA rom
I love how I makes it pulse when I charge my phone.
--------------------------------------------------
If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Yup, didn't know there was one also. I got the point of thinking... maybe the VZW version just doesn't have one :crying:
And then it happened...:victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:
Galaxy Nexus + LightFlow has been a great combination for me. The RGB LED notification is a must for me with any future phones.
is a full on Rom the only way to customize it? Only thing id really like to see, is for it to pulse a bit faster. The length in time it takes to pulse is too long imo. I could turn the phone on an look faster than it would take for me to stare at that point and see if there is a message.
use lightflow.

Must have been something with the Affinity rom. I loaded CNA and it works as its supposed to, plus its customizable.

Is it possible to change notification led colour?

Is it possible to have diff colour for diff notifications?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
you can't change it yourself.
red is assigned to power(charging/low power)
green for actual notifcations
blue for sound recording.

Actually you can (somewhat)...Well I did with the Handsent SMS app. Its possible to change the colors for the notifcation within that app so I'm guessing that the notifications colors only work if the app has it within the settings.

I'm getting something different on my Note 2.
Red is the same, for power.
Blue is for notifications (sms and such)
Haven't seen a green notification light yet.

Be aware that the install process will make you turn off air view. Just turn it back on after installing.

Wow, thanks to this thread, I finally came to know that Note 2 does have a notification LED just like galaxy s3 as someone told me it doesn't have. Lightflow is good but drains a lot of battery. Try this as well https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5rb28ubGlnaHRtYW5hZ2VyIl0.
How do you turn air view back on?

Any possibilities of Notification LED to get damaged or burn out by using this (or any similar) app?

[Q] App for Notification light

I'm looking for an app like BLN.
I've tested NOLED, KNOCKĀ², LEDBlinker.
But when one of this apps is running, the Note doesn't charge complete. It always stops at about 72%.
Is there any app who can show notifications on screen or with blinking softkeys that works perfect with Note 8.0 (N5100)?
There isn't a notification light on the note 8 so I'm confused. But interested in what you're trying to say. ?..

I think it's about looking to use the leds on the capacitive buttons ss notification lights.
I tried a few apps without any luck...
The one called "no led" or something, works for me.

If its the same as the nexus 4 and gnex, then its multi colored, try using light manager, you can test out all the led colors and such but it does require root I think

You turn it on under display > Pulse Notification. Make sure that is checked. Lightflow app is compatible but my notification does not work even when running the test on the app.

Download light flow lite, you can use that app to manage notifications for any program you want.
The light only works when you receive a notification with the tablet screen off
