OK so why can't the ZF2 US version not let you display diff colors for the LED light? I'm using handsent SMS and the diff colors wont work and I have also tried using lightflow, etc to have diff colors for diff notification apps. Is there a workaround that people have found?
Thanks.
I too have been trying to find a way to get this work. Unfortunately have not been successful.
Anyone got any tips ?
What colors does the LED support? I have seen green, orange, and red. A friend of mine claims to have seen yellow.
What situation shows red? I haven't seen that one yet.

I just got my Zenfone2 last night and also noticing that it shows a red light when charging, and a greenish-yellow light for fully charged and all notifications. I am very surprised to see it's not supporting multiple colors. Anyone know much about this?

low battery, I think it started blinking @ 10%?
Are there any apps that will make the colors work, or does this phone just not have color capabilities? I tried LIght Flow and Light Manager but they don't seem to take over (maybe I'm doing it wrong) even after giving the apps the necessary permission.
No idea,I tried with light manager too but it seems it doesn't support variety of colors or maybe none of this programs are compatible with the zenfone 2 yet

ASUS Zenfone 2 notification LED
Same problem with Zenfone 2 US version.. Lightflow just won't work. There are only 4 colors that the Led displays. A yellow for all notifications(no matter what kind or source), a very pale yellowish green for fully charged, a yellowish -orange for charging, and a red for low battery. That's it. No matter what I do, there are no other colors. Lightflow doesn't change anything.
Any change? Or there is another way to make them work?

Obviously, you didn't include the right combination of LEDs. Maybe blue and/or green is missing. Stupid decision Asus. All of the LED notifications are pretty much the same color except for low battery and charging. Stupid.

When your battery remains in between 15% to 0% the red light should blink.
The Facebook messenger app is the only app I've ever seen change the color. It blinks red when a message comes in.

I'm using Handcent & I got a magenta light for when my girl texts me. I did choose the color "green" tho.
I am getting three color choices with Light Flow paid version. Blue, red and purple.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
what are you talking about, Purple does not work with paid version, it's red and blue!!!
Purple is a choice in the paid version for me. Of course, the actual color is more like magenta but it does work. I have Direct Mode checked in the General Settings menu.
Good to hear some feedback on this...similar results here. Wishin we had more color options!
I've only found three that work:
setting > looks like
Blue > Blue
Green > Purple
Red > Red
Purple is of course just red+blue lit simultaneously.
This is in Pro version, NOT Direct Mode.
White = fast blinking red color.
Also I noticed that the led stays lit for a long duration of time when you choose red or blue. Then it blinks off really quickly and back to on...kind of like the reverse of how it is normally. Any way to fix that?
Thanks for pointing out that white will rapid flash. That is just what I needed!
this did not work for me at all? does it only work on rooted phones?
Dont know if anyone uses kicker but my led stays magenta when I get a message

Hi
Just for info. There shouldn't be any difference between the free version and the paid version of LightFlow for color controls as they both use the same code. The only differences are the length of time it takes to cycle around the notifications and the number of apps supported.
As for the colors, the app just sends an ARGB value to the phone (when running in standard mode) and then it's up to the phone to work out how to interpret it. It's good to know white allows for rapid flashing (odd interpretation there samsung, but at least it's more choice). This is the quote from the android development documentation regarding color representation "Not every color in the spectrum is supported by the device LEDs, and not every device supports the same colors, so the hardware estimates to the best of its ability."
If anyone wants to have a play with the app "LED color tester" by coolbeans in the market to see if they can get any more colors (e.g. rapid blue flashing etc) then let me know and I'll try get the extra option put into lightflow. Note, to test using LED color tester, you'll need to uninstall lightflow first as lightflow will take over the notifications, preventing control by the tester app.
Direct mode writes to the files directly in unix that control the leds. At the moment it'll write out a 0 or a 1 to the brightness file for either the red or blue led. My guess is that some other values allow for the flashing. If only there was some consistency between phones, things would be so much easier! I'm also planning to add the option to allow custom brightness values to be sent for the leds which may help control things a little more.

WHere do you set that for a single contact?
I am on AOKP and every time I get a call the LED flashes a weird yellow/blue/green color and I don't know how to change it. I have flashed back to stock and it still happens. Light Flow can change the color but whenever I select a light blue or green color I still get a yellow tent. Has anyone else seen this?
This thread seems to have the same problem but no solution.

Thank you for the help. It seems that even when I pick a blue color from that thread my LED light is still half green on the top. Does that mean the LED light is defective?

Post the hex value you used and I'll try mine and see what it looks like on mine if you want. The colors aren't perfect by any means.

I used "Samsung Blue: #ff1300ff". Even when I go back to a completely stock ROM the LED color on Boot has the same green/yellow/blue color. This phone was refurbished through AT&T so I'm starting to think this is why someone sent it back.

I already had to return one phone because the power button didn't work right. I don't think I'll be getting a refurbished phone again anytime soon.
Has anyone else seen this on an AT&T S III? I'd like to know if I need to return it.

Do you have White or Titanium ?
Lol, only three, R G B.
There is no light blue or light green, just your proximity sensor dimming the colour depending on your ambient lighting intensity. Dark room, light led, bright room, bright led.
To get custom colours, you need third party apps like Light Manager or Light Flow. However, after using Light Flow for a day, I can say, other than R G B, no colour appear to be prominent! But I've also heard this is a problem with the Grey units, but White ones, on white ones colours come out perfect it has been mentioned.

i thought LED can mix any color u like by RGB, depends on the kernel
btw, i just saw white, blue, green and red appeared on my note2
For those using Light Manager and/or Light Flow, which one has the best results on Galaxy Note 2? Any issues?
I'm reading A LOT of bad comments on Brazilian Play Store from S III users about Light Flow, and I'm afraid of messing up things here!
Don't be afraid of messing anything, if something goes wrong just uninstall the app.
And afaik, Light Manager is more consistent than Light Flow. It doesn't mess with your 'Accessibility' options. But I've seen that it drains battery in advanced mode, so better use it in Normal mode.

I was afraid because I read some comments related to an issue that messed up colors "forever". And something like eternal notifications until reboot. Of course, these could be solved with a full wipe.
Thanks for the reply.. it helps. .

When getting whatsapp message the led always goes green but i tried putting it on other colors but it stays green, the standard setting wasnt even green but white but still it showed a green led lol... Is there a way to test the colors?? I tried several apps but they dont work..
Isn't a rgb led, only green and orange/red like all the others htc phones.
Well we haven't confirmed it isn't a rbg led. We only know it is currently hard coded to green and orange. We are awaiting for developers to crack open the phone (digitally). Keep your fingers crossed that they used a real rbg led

that could be related to the lighting. Give it time for the devs to start working on this device
I noticed this after I got my phone. All notifications are green including fully-charged, while Red is for charging. Does the LED really don't have a Blue Color?
Correct. The HTC 10 just has RG LED, no RGB.
Oh ok. That was helpful. Thank you.
This my main gripe with this phone. Was very disappointed to see such a simple feature missing.
On my old phone I used the Light Flow app to set different colours for all sorts of things. Simple things like being able to glance at the phone and know if it's a work or personal email was soo handy.
