LED colors - Nexus One General

So this trackball LED is supposed to be able to show 3 different colors, right? So far mine only blinks white. What makes it turn other colors?

if its connected to bluetooth headsets or handsfree it will be blue.

That sounds kinda boring ._.

I heard it has an RGB led under there similar to how the G1 had the RBG next to the speaker.

Yeah, I was really hoping that different apps could set it to different colors like the G1 can. I used to have one color for IMs, one for texts, etc. I forget how I set that up but I don't see any options for it now. But I'm sure I remember seeing apps where it asked you what color you wanted the LED to be. I think AK Notepad has that option...

Im agitated by this feature missing.
Handcent ,Missed reminder do not activate these LEDs.
Very dissapointed.

I was assuming the same thing, I loved that feature on the G1. It helped me know what I got, before having to view it myself. Even the Sidekick LX has more colors than the N1, that is, if it only has 3 o_o the option is completely removed it seems? How disappointing..

On the G1, we used Missed Call to set colors.

give it some time the phone has only been out for 2 days

Has anyone confirmed that this is NOT a multicolor capable LED under the trackball?
My guess is that there aren't any apps, yet, to address this capability on the N1, yet. I, too, would be disappointed to lose my colors and the missed call app.

Short version:
Flashing White: Incoming call
Flashing Blue: Incoming call while a bluetooth headset is attached
Pulsing White: new notification

I was thinking this exact same thought, I figured since the mlevin said it was capable of going only 3 colors, I assumed it could do that. I once also thought that the LED on the G1 could only go; Red, Green, and Orange, but that has also changed.
EDIT: So there is also a "status light" embedded at the top of the device, hidden behind the black tracing around the screen? Why has this not been mentioned anywhere o_0

Aokp users led notification light

Found a trick to the led notification inside the ROM control area. If you would like to change the color of your LED notification do not use custom colors to the left only use the slider to the right and then set them.
The slider to right is the colorful one

I have pretty much tried every single color and it works pretty well some colors more then others.

What's the difference between Set and !!!? So all you do to change the color of yours is use the slider on the right... do you need to then touch the right-hand color swatch, the Set button or !!! so it takes effect?

!!!! Is the stock ics blue

I can't seem to figure out how to get mine to show anything other than a yellowish color. I'm using the slider on the right and hitting set, but to no avail. Just attempting to get back the stock blue, much less abrasive.
EDIT: Unsurprisingly it turns out that I'm just dumb and was overlooking LED settings within other apps...Oops! OP recommendation works just fine. Thanks!
No problem and don't use the !!! Just click the new color and done like I said it's close to the color that you pick but not perfect. Some notifications automatically come out red on their own for example Facebook notifications etc. but system apps seems to be the color that you pick
After installing this on my phone the LED won't do anything when charging, fully charged. Any reason why? I tried light flow but its bugged for the S3 right now.

[REQ] Rear notification light (power button) for all notifications?

My apologies if this has already been discussed somewhere.
I would love to see that awesome power button notification light glow after receiving a text, whatsapp message, email, etc.
Interested in hearing users and devs thoughts on this.

I would be interested in this. Seems silly all it does is turn on with the phone.

Yeah, I don't get why they'd go through all the work and cost to integrate an led in the button to only have it play when getting/on a call (who would need that??) and when an alarm goes off (again, who needs that??). Makes sense to have it for emails/texts/etc.
Hope this comes out. I haven't had a chance to see if LightFlow can access it.
Anyone email the lightflow dev? He has supported alternative led's in the past.

I may mention it when I ask about the color of the main led not displaying correctly when a Gmail message is received. Anyone else noticed this?
I don't currently use light flow, bit I read somewhere else on this board that other people were having the same Gmail issue.

I too may be seeing what you are.
I have lightflow setup to throw a white led for gmail, but.... when the screen is locked (I use pattern lock) and off, first the led flashes green for gmail. Then after I wake the screen, the led switches back to white as it should for the lightflow setting.
I've tried setting lightflow to reset the led before throwing a notification but that did not fix it. The other kicker is it doesn't always seem to do this green then white problem. Under the phone settings it does look like lg has set up quite a bit of an interface into the led, the front and back one. Most of the conditions for the led to come on are defaulted to only a green option in the phone setting. I've turned them all off so lightflow can control and determine the color etc. I even tried turning off the led function in the phone settings hoping that only lightflow would control, but the phone settings actually do keep the led completely off if set.
It's not a deal breaker, but I use green for google voice texts that are a much higher priority for me to take a look at.
I think the lg system on this phone still has some "tendrils" into the led settings that are getting in the way of lightflow having full control?
Also, for what it is worth, under the lightflow settings, it does show that lightflow does detect the back led and others so maybe the dev of that app can add some functionality in their copious free time
Yep. That's the behavior I'm seeing. Not the end of the world, but it kind of defeats the purpose of giving different colors in lightflow. I agree that it's likely due to the hooks LG still has present or something the LF devs need to iron out with this device. I saw those extra options for LEDs as well, but I wasn't able to get them to do anything. The lm3630 is the control for the backlight of the screen (found that while looking for a CABL control). I have no idea what the mmc1 is.

Agreed! I'd like this too. Samsung is letting their design team run wild without considering the advantages of the technology. Sad.
+1 I really though there was a setting hidden somewhere, But no. Black would have been great. Dont know why they though Blue was better..???!!?
I want black BG too.

Hey, I figured it out. I've attached the apk. You need to be rooted obviously but once you are, use ES File Explorer or something similar to replace the EasyOneHand.apk file with the one below. You should get the same result as the one in the screenshot.
The file is located in /system/app. Make sure that you rename the download below to "EasyOneHand.apk". The attachment manager added a 1 to the file.

Don't forget to backup your original and donate :victory:
I assumed it was something to do with burnin.
I.E. on amoled, black means the pixels turn off, so if you do the one-handed operation a lot, you'll quickly see an image burnin. with blue, you are using the largest of the subpixels, so maybe its a hue of blue to better handle battery drain (larger pixels need less power to illuminate to a certain percent, or there are fewer blue pixels than green, so less power needed to power, etc. could be a variety of reasons around the hardware alone).
I just figured there was a reason why it was a soft blue, and non-changeable. But then again, it could also be a simple matter of something that slipped through the cracks and wasn't even considered as an option people might like to customize.

If burn-in was a concern, then why use a white border that utilizes all the pixels? Why not use a thin light-green border with a mostly black interface instead of white. I think Samsung is just letting their design team loose without considering the benefits of the tech. Look at the phone dialer. Why is it all white?

White LED?

Anyone else notice the white led that lights up while charging?
I wonder if this could be RGB as well and light up with other colors?
Perhaps someone can bring a tweak or mod that can activate the LED for notification purposes?
Just wanted to get this thread started for anyone also interested in this happening. I hope a Dev can come forth and make it a reality!
This has been mentioned. I am not rooted yet but I wonder if anyone has tried the Light Flow app from the play store to see if it works.
I am rooted, and have tried lightflow. Unfortunately it reports that the LED is white only. :crying:

So it doesn't work for notifications at all through the app?
No, I could not get it to have any control over the LED. I tried the legacy version as well, and direct mode and also granting su (all suggestions from the author of the app). Nothing worked.

I don't think so. It's pretty much the same led that was on the 3rd gen Moto and it's not much use for anything actually useful.

[Q] Green glow at top of screen

Green glow, only shows on black or dark screens. Tested with a burn check app for this picture. I toggled all screen options on and off in various configurations, including all the adpative stuff and Soli. No changes. When I press the screen, a normal press anywhere, the glow will change slightly. I'm approved for an RMA, but I'm wondering if anyone else can see this before I do that.
I used night sight for the picture, so the green glow is more pronounced than with the naked eye.
Have not noticed this on mine.
Where did your purchase it from? Hopefully the exchange is smooth!

Purchased from Google. Already approved for an RMA, just don't want to do that if it's widespread, or if it's not a real issue (is not consistently glowing, sometimes it's there, sometimes not).

Yeah send it back.
The one and only place I've seen anything remotely close is the YouTube music app. Screenshot brightened to enhance glow....
That's intended, though. To show you when the radar is looking for gestures.

Right, at first I thought that's what my glow was, Soli being active. It's in the same exact location, which would make suspicious it has something to do with the Soli light. Thanks for the help all

Just disable motion sense, launch spotify or youtube music and check if the glow still shows on top of the screen. If not, then it's for sure the indication of soli radar checking for movement. However it should not be green...
