X10 charging LED override

I am happy with 2.1, but unhappy how the charging LED works. I would like a way to have system messages such as incoming SMS notification override the constant green charging LED. In 1.6 the LED would at least turn off when charged, so the LED would flash for part of the day. I leave my phone charging all day at work.

Have you tried "blink" from the market? Not sure if it over rides whilst charging but I will look into it and report back

I will look it up as well. It really makes no sense to me why LED doesn't override for actual messages over charging notification. Should at least be something in the options.

Definitely... its pretty obvious when your charging your phone so I don't see why the LED notifies anyway? There may be a file within build.prop or something that can be "tweaked" ill google it to..
With both of us on the case we should be able to fix it somehow

Perfect... look up "always flash" by dev neilandtheresa in the market. For rooted phones and sounds like its perfect!

Lol, well my phone isn't rooted. Just the stock Rogers 2.1 rom. But you are right. Makes no sense to me why it would stay solid green when charge is complete.

Take a look at this, available free on the market to root your phone "z4root" you can unroot whenever you like too. People root their phones for all different reasons (huge bonus is the power to uninstall system apps, like quadrop!) system app remover free from the market works. Plus many other cool apps like ones to make the flash on the camera a bright torch

Is that app trustworthy? Lol, I'm scared if third party apps that do anything significant to the phone!

Tried that z4root thing. I didn't have data after temp root but forgot to check my APN. So maybe mine was removed. Kinda scared to try again as there's no option to unroot. It kept re-saying to root. Uninstalled out of fear..haha also after, no busybox was installed like it said.

Samsung Galaxy S trick:Change brightness with a simple swype!!!

Yes it works!
You can change the brightness from the home screen without change any option or install any application.
Press on the notification bar (not open it) and after shows up with the date, just swype left or right to adjust the brightness!!!
Here is my video on youtube to see how it works:

Welcome to 2010 lol. (sorry!).
I think the correct way to do it is just to hold an area on the notification bar (not swype). left is less bright, right is more bright. (at least on latest fws it works like this).

This has been known since éclair. You must have auto brightness off for it to work though.
Thanks for sharing anyway, original thread has probably been lost in the folds. I'm sure there are plenty of new sgs users on here all the time. It is still one of the best smartphones on the market today, and now it's dirt cheap.

Look man. Maybe is an old trick but for some new users might also be something useful!!
So there is no need all this irony....

Although i agree that it might be handy for new users... There is always room for irony or as in this case sarcasm i believe. I rated this find a single facepalm.

I had the phone for one week and didn't knew about this...thanks for sharing!

Had this phone from january and did not knew about this...i am embaressed.

Its not a hidden trick or anything. Its even documented in the user manual.

When the notification bar is in the landscape mode you can swipe it more brighter

It only works with 2.1 I believe. One of those tricks lost with the updates.

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

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.

I think this is Battery Stats Plus?! Have you installed this App?

This shows your phone is on vibrate, try turning the volume up a bit and it will dissappear :thumbup:

Drag down settings, expand the quick settings and the vibrate option should be highlighted in green , if you press this the loudspeaker icon should dissappear or if the phone is on mute just the two squiggly lines left and right of the icon should dissappear ?

No on the screenshot it's not this that I want to delete but if you look closer it's the little Battery in red that I want to remove

I think he means the little bar under the Volume Symbol. So it has nothing to do wie Volume or Vibrate.
Strange - in App Market are some screenshos of Battery Stats Plus, on 2 of them are exactly the same little battery)bar in statusbar.

i dont think he's talking about the muted speaker/vibration icon, if you look closely you can see a little red and green icon that looks like a battery in the same spot.
I have no idea what it is though... sorry...

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.

If someone can test just for stay sure that was that and no other thing
