Okay, so there are a lot of pieces involved, but I think enough other people are running the same configuration....
CM 5.0.4.1
Trackball colors by ChainsDD (2/25 ver. before update to CM 5.0.4.1)
Succession Mod for trackball notifications by metalhead8816 (applied after CM5.0.4.1)
When I get a missed call, it will flash light blue or cyan. But what happens is that the bright light blue LED flashes, and then a dim version flashes. It almost seems like another notification, but it does it whenever a missed call notification is fired. I have not seen any LED at low brightness, but this one looks like 25%.
I'm guessing the succession mod? Can someone else test this?
strange, it never occurred to me (or it never happened before) but was reading the trackball thread and saw your remark. this evening by chance I saw the dim blue light as well (only a mail led was fired) by the way I haven't yet installed the notifs in succession file. I'm running cyanogen, and installed the trackball color notif 1.0 b3
i've seen something weird like this before, and it does seem to happen for missed calls. will check it out when i get home.
The thing won't stop for some reason. I'm talking about the small green LED light from behind the grill. It's always on when my screen is asleep. Granted, I just updated from a nightly 2.3 cyanogen to the latest RC, but it kept doing that beforehand as well, and has been for the past few days. Before it only used to notify me of sms's. But now there's no notification in the bar, no new apps installed (with the exception of some games) and no settings changed. Can anyone help out? At least point me to a LED app that actually works on the Legend?
Thanks!
Hi
I have my blue led notification light on all the time. It doesn't flash but just stays on even if my switch my phone off.
all other notification work like if i get a message, missed call also flashes etc
phone is currently rooted with Omega rom, i have tried 3 roms with clean installs but still the same issue.
Any one have any idea with whats wrong with my device?
Many thanks
I was just curious if anyone here has noticed that the LED on the G2 for notifications does not slowly fade in and out like almost every other Android device I've used. Instead, it just blinks. I much prefer the pretty fade of the LED. I'm currently using Light Flow to control my LED. I'm thinking that the phone only blinking the LED rather than fading is an issue with the kernel since I've flashed other ROMs (including AOSP based ROMs) and still am getting the same results. Additionally, I know that this is not a hardware limitation because when the G2 first boots up, the LED fades between green, blue, and off.
Has anyone else noticed this? Anyone have any way to have the LED fade rather than blink?
Hey all. Just wanted to post to clear up some discrepancies that I have found concerning the presence or absence of the notification light on the 2014 version of the Moto X. There is in fact a notification light on the Moto X. However, like most users I couldn't find any setting for it or in fact see where it might be located physically on the phone itself.
To enable the notification light I am pretty sure your phone must be rooted and a custom ROM installed. As mentioned before, I had no idea that the Moto X had a notification LED until after I rooted it. When rooting and flashing was when I first saw the LED light up. When putting the device in fastboot mode (Volume down + power), a small green light showed up in the top speaker. Rather, in the slit between the front of the speaker and the body of the phone where the sound emenates from. I just assumed it was kind of a "warning" light to notify you that you were outing the phone in Fastboot mode and ignored it. Anyway, after the new ROM was installed and my notifications started rolling in, the light started lighting up. So far it has lit up for each text and also for my snapchats.
As for why the light was included by Motorola, but was still disabled, I can only guess. I assume that because of the Moto Display feature being included the developers assumed it would be redundant. Indeed, if I had a choice between Moto Display or a notification light, I would probably choose the display, but that just my two cents.
So, if you have rooted and flashed, have you noticed the notification light? Or is this just enabled by Motorola with the android 5.x update? Thoughts?

It's not disabled, it's just not a notification light. On the stock rom it's used to indicate that the phone is charging or low on battery if the phone is not turned on. Custom roms override that feature and use it as a notification light instead.
I'll take your word for it. However, I never saw an option for it on the settings, and it never once lit up while I was charging, on or off.
Thanks for the input and explanation!

I think it only comes on if the battery is so low that the phone can't turn on yet to indicate that it's getting power.
I saw mine blink one time. It was when I was rebooting. I saw a Red light flash real quick. Really wish I was rooted so I could enable it.
No need to have a custom rom. If you are rooted you can simply enable it using Tasker. I use it for certain profiles.

You saw one of the IR sensor lighting up. the only led on the X 2014 is a green one.
No. It was the light. But I'll argue with u more about it since I'm bored.
There are MANY YouTube reviews that mention the IR sensors and the "light flash"..

i'm on stock 5.0 rooted and light flow app. led notification works well
Please share tour settings.
My config. 20 in intensity is plenty sufficient
as in the "other post" i share here my config
Bad news (for me) after lightflow update (playstore 17 February) no more led notification. Can't make led work
So baaaaaad
Iv been using Tasker and the "notification listener" plugin.
Iv just set up profiles to switch a variable on and off based on notification posted/cleared.
Then a task that runs an LED flashing loop based on that variables value.
In tasker, the LED is called "charging led" not a notification led.

That happened to me on the version before this update, it was driving me crazy. LED just stopped working, tried everything to fix but it wouldn't work. Then this morning it was working and then I saw the update so I backed up the app with titanium and updated. So far, knock on wood, been working all day.
I solved unonstalling LF and re-installing from playstore. Works again. +1

I am having this issue, again, so frustrating. A reboot fixed it for a short period but the led stopped working again. I haven't tried uninstalling and redownloading but that is my next step.
I would really like to know what is causing this, the app or something with the stock rom.
Don't know why. Now i'm on cm nightlies, no need LF, led's working good
Is possible to create some kind of "patch" to use the notification LED on Stock ? I mean to use it as a native LED, like on CM builds, basically port this function from CM and implement it on Stock?
