Hi guys, I have a quick question, something I'm trying to figure out.
I downloaded the cab on the tweaks thread for the LED notification.
Before that i'd get the LED flashing green when I get a text message.
after installing the cab, no real difference? after missed call, email etc - there is no led flashing...am i missing something here. The LED flashes green when i get a text (but it did that anyway).

did you change it in Start-Settings-Sound And Totifications?
Hello - I've been looking in that menu set, but there's nothing there regarding LED notification :S just notification sounds...
In that control panel, you have to tick the option "Flash light" for each event you want the LED notification for.
It's really weird, because I can not see those options there at all.
Defo have installed that CAB as it is showing in the programs management as "Microsoft LED notification enabler".

Hi,
I got the Leo and I want to have the led notification without time limit. Now the work only for 10min.
I saw that there is setting in Sound et Notifiaction (your image), but in my phone this option (Flash light for ...) is disable.
How can I activate this option to set the notification time? Thank you
Hi,
try the attached CAB! I cabbed this yesterday to enable the led notification (unlimited blinking) for SMS, email, dismissed calls and schedule notifications. After installing the CAB you can change all setting via the notifications tab. It just enables all settings and sets some reasonable values.
Bye,
Sebastian

Same here. Is it for a Hotmail account ? I wonder if it's the reason because it is not set by default.

Not only, also for gmail and my work email ...
Uuuups, I am sorry. I have forgotten to remove the German strings from the CAB. I have attached a new CAB to this post. This enables the LEDs notification. I haven't tried this for email on the HD2, but on my Touch Diamond 2 the LED notifications for emails didn't work if I triggered a manual send/receive of emails.
Just bumping this up. The LED notification for new email *doesn't work*, and this seems like a pretty serious flaw on such a slick, expensive gizmo.
I really have searched for this here, can not quite see the answer although it comes close.
Anyway, I would like to have it pulse the Trackball for SMS and Missed Calls, but not for email, and I thought I had seen a setup for that, but now, I can not find it?

Disable email notifications and any other notification you want gone and that should do it

Hrmm, I do want to be notified of emails, and have a custom ringtone that plays everytime I get a new email. I just don't want the LED flashing as well?

I ve installed the CHOMPSMS and wonder how can i disable the factory messaging program (i installed ASTRO). I tried to change the LED Blink colour in ChompSMS but it doesn work, i need to set the light from Factory Messaging.
Please help
p.s. Does anyone know if there is an app that i can add the A-Z alpha onto my contact phone list so that i dun have to scroll around.
You can turn off the notifications on the stock app by going into the apps settings and scrolling to the bottom unchecking the box that says "notifications."
I hope this answers your question, and as far as changing the LED color, you need to be rooted in order to do that.
thank you!
I have rooted but i am unable to adjust the LED colour from ChompSMS, only can do it in factory messaging.
Uncheck the notification only not showing the icon right? does it disable the app permenatly?

I use handsent sms but also have sms popup. I have the notification off on the default and handsent. I use the sms popup because it lets me use trackball for different color for different contacts. Extra work but it works for me.

I quit using Handcent a while back because I wasn't using any of the features. I haven't used it since I got my N1 actually. I used to do a lot of work with the Dev on it. With SMS popup I can't get the trackball to work at all. You're using the LED setting right?
This is how I have the N1 set for trackball notification. 1st I have missed reminder install. I have the red selected for missed sms and blue for calls.I use handset for default sms but have the notification off, also the default messaging notifications off. I then have sms popup. Sms popup is enabled,for the quick yes or now replies, under the contacts notifications have different colors selected for contacts.

You're using the "LED" selections right? I'm trying it and none of them are lighting the trackball.

In what application? Please be more explicit.
I have the same setup as jerrycycle (coincidence) and for example using SMS Popup - Notification | Default Notifications | Enable Notifications (disable notification in the standard messaging app) and then go the the Led Configuration section and set your options. Now, use the Test Notification function to test your LED's.
You need a custom ROM but you should not use any LED mod for this.
The led will work for the chompsms and handcent. The custom option has to me the chosen option and the time has to be set. There is a 3 second delay before the custom colors work. I can't say what to set it on without reconfiguring my phone to test.
I see a lot of questions about multi-colored LED, but none helpful to me. However, I apologize in advance if I missed it, and this is a repost.
Anyway, I was wondering if there was a "hack" or app that would allow the notification LED to show multiple notifications. Right now, if I have an unread text, it only blinks purple, regardless of whether or not I have a missed call, or Google Voice message as well.
Is there a way to set it up to alternate colors? So it would alternate purple and green if I had an sms and Google Voice message, or alternate green and blue if I had a Google Voice message and missed call?
Any help is very appreciated.
Thank you,
-Rex
Try blink.

Hey, I was wondering about this myself. I tried Blink, neat little app however, it looks like the Droid X's LED only comes on when the screen is off. It would be cool to have the LED continuously blinking until you address the notification. (unless there is an option to change it?)
I did not know the DX has a full array of colors for the LED until I installed this app, I will use it regardless
handcent allows you to customize ringtone, notification light, vibration pattern, and theme of texts. i HIGHLY recommend using handcent instead of the stock texting app. just make sure to turn off notifications in your stock texting app or else you get two notifications per text.
On my nexus 4 the notification led only seems to activate for SMS messages and glows white.
It does not flash for Emails (I use the Email app not Gmail) or missed calls.
Is this normal or is there a setting somewhere?
Try using the "Light Flow" app to control your LED lights. It works great. You can pick how often the LED blinks and the color it should use.

I get all different colour notifications depending on what app I get a message from without using any 3rd party app.
I've never used the email app unfortunately but seems as though missed calls doesn't trigger the LED. The notifications I know work are:
GMail - Set to white
Whatsapp - Set to green
Facebook - Set to blue/purple can't remember which
SMS - Set to white
I would've thought the Email app would just use the default white notification but maybe it doesn't have a trigger for it?

Before using lightflow, facebook, whatsapp worked for me, nothing else did. not even the notification whilst charging the battery.
After installing lightflow, all sorted except facebook, whatsapp!
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I don't use either of those but did you try adding them to lightflow? I'm pretty sure you need to specifically add non system apps to lightflow.
