Anyone think its possible to replace the notification LED? I'm only curious because I would love to change it to an RGB led. Doesn't seem like a crazy idea...but that's why I'm hoping someone with more knowledge than I can chime in.
If you have the guts, you can take the phone apart like in this youtube vid watch?v=gMI7sNY5YZg. After that you should be able to replace the led. In theory at least...

Is there some registryhack or anything else, to change the color or frequenz of the LEDs?
e.g. I would like to have a red notification instead of the damned amber one (which looks hardly like the green one, in some situations)
I also would prefer a higher blink rate when notificated and a lesser one, for normal status.
I hate blinklights just for annoying net connect or bt connect "notification".
please, doese someone knows some way?
You can change ANY notification in the Sounds and notifications settings, or through a program such as PocketZenPhone.
Search the forums and you will find what you need!!
Re the lights themselves, you won't be able to change them without changing the diode itself. Though perhaps there's a setting that changes which one (ie green or amber) is used for different styles of notification. Given the options between those two, however, I don't see why you'd want to change them.

sure you can say: notificate me via light/sound/vibra - but it is the color I want to change (standart green. amber, red are ok, if I just could choose them as I like)
i want to change the "organge/amber" notification, cuz I find it hard to see the differenz between the green one, especially in daylight.
if there would be some setting to change the standart notification to red, this would be pretty pretty usefull.
even the frequenzy would help me, to realize faster whats going on.
AND I didn't found a way to cancel blinking e.g. for BT on oder Netconnect.
in night, it is a pain in the neck, and I do have to find something i can cover the lights with, if I just want a dark night .
there muste be a possible of changing it, it is just a damned OS and so its a software thing.
Someone like Buzz is probably better than most to advise re changing which LED is used and the frequency of blinking.
There is an app that allows you to turn off LEDs during the night. I used to have it on my PC but never installed it on the phone cos I turn my phone off at night. The posts linking to it were on X-D so a quick search should find it.

I hate resurrecting old threads, but has anyone yet discovered where the LED blink rate is controlled? Is it something that can be modified? It simply blinks too much, in my opinion.
Thanks in advance.
How can I replace the lightbulb in my HTC Universal? I didn't really use this feature much unless taking photos (which never turn out anything but grainy and blurry for me), however, I finally discovered VJCandella, and now I have found out that the bulb is broken (I'm just assuming here that it is a xenon flash bulb, or is it an even brighter LED than normal? LEDs usually don't ever die).
I want to replace this bulb to use VJcandella, but I don't know where to start looking, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I wonder if we can replace it with something else, for example a blue color LED, a motor, or something.
Is there anybody who can check the voltage and the current on the place of the flash led?

Check out the wiki... see the Service Manual for the Uni
An alternative:
Buy a 1W bright LED from eBay and that should be ok...

Has anyone tried to get an led enabled trackball to work? I'd be way more than interested and willing to do it myself.
I don't think that there is a light under the track ball in the G1/Dream.
I have ordered a blue blackberry trackball with chrome face to swap out, but I doubt it's gonna light up.
There might be a little glow from the other leds on the daughterboard, but not enough to make a difference.
No go.
Have a red led trackball..wont light. Supposedly has to be programmed to happen but ROMS or apps with "led trackball" functions dont do it either.
I don't think the G1 is physically capable of doing this.
I have looked at the daughterboard.
The trackball for the blackberry 8300, and 8900 series are the same part.
If you look at the mounting on the blackberry, there is a led in the lower right corner of the mounting location.
I know this because I used transparent modeling paint to turn my blackberry 8320 track ball blue from the stock white.
I have since pulled that track ball and used it on the G1, but it looked like $#!^ so I ordered the blue one with chrome trim.
The mounting location on the G1 does not have anything in the led location of the blackberry. It's empty. No connections even for the led.
We can't turn on a light that has no bulb.
Is there any way to incorporate this fix into the Eris ROMs. I tried flashing but got "No Signature" and "Verification Failed" error messages.

whats the actual link?
and it sounds like it just needs to be signed. i can do that and send it back to you in under 5 minutes
i gave it a shot, it doesnt look to be working right now. he said hes going to be releasing the source and what modifications he made. once that happens we can try again.
Any progress been made with this?
i checked it a while back but it wasnt working. sorry.
what is this supposed to do? change the color of the light behind the trackball?
you guys do know that led is only a white led, not a multicolored one right? we've had a thread about this before. without some soldering, that light is and forever will be white. it's a hardware thing.
carry on, I'm an idiot. get this working! i want my trackball to actually light up again!

no. it was for mapping the notifications to the trackball.
So I was playing around with lightflow on my nexus 4 and I noticed that the red LED is kind of prominent when the notification light pulses when I have any color selected with red in it. There's a red glow at the top of the notification light when it pulses, which makes blue half purple, yellow half red-orange, and white pink/purple. The picture is kind of bright, but you can kind of see what I mean (it's supposed to be yellow). It's a lot more visible in real life... Does anyone else have this too?

Looks yellow to me brotato.
But yes, I think it's normal to get glimpses of other colors. Happened on gnex and gs3 too.

How do you even configure the LED I couldn't find a way to do this (never had a phone with notification LED before)
In fact I haven't seen the notification LED at all, I can't test SMS messages because my Micro-SIM isn't here yet, but all other kind of notifications had no effect.
Where do I find the LED settings
EDIT: Ok, It seems like there is a notification if I receive a mail (gmail), but not for all notifications. Is this normal?
(If you can tell me how it works I can check if I have a red glow)
Use light flow, download from play.

Slightly topic related question. (apology for slight double post - question sits better here - not worth another thread)
Q1 : When charging I have no lights/led indicators illuminated (on both stock and aokp) - is this the normal? - intended behavior?
I'm used to HTC/Samsung, that tend charge at one colour (amber/red) and then display another colour when full (green). This would seem sensible to me, so that we ensure that we don't over charge the battery and over heat the phone?
Q2 : Another favour to ask: can someone please post a close up picture, of the two Nexus 4 USB cable plugs, as I've managed to confuse several USB leads and don't know which came with the Nexus, which I may need for an RMA return?
Thanks in advance
An RGB LED is basically 3 LEDs crammed into one housing. It's just like a pixel on your monitor, but larger. If you were to zoom in on your monitor you would notice the three individual colors. It just so happens that the red part of the LED doesn't diffuse throughout the housing as well as the other colors do.

I see, it's done using an app.
I can see a small red glow at the top (I guess) but it's really small and I wouldn't even have noticed without this thread. (Maybe it's because I am red-green colorblind, but I don't think this has a great effect here)
BTW: Is there a more advanced possibility to control the LED in Cyanogenmod or is it a good idea to pay for light flow (I'm especially interested in support of steam)?

Yes, by default there is no LED notification of the charge status. You can use Light Flow (including the free version) from the Play Store to add this behavior, as well as controlling notifications for all sorts of events (not just LED notifications -- sounds and vibrations, as well).
You don't need to worry about overcharging the battery, though. There is a protection circuit built in that prevents issues of that sort.

CM allows you to set colors and flash rate per app, Lite flow allows this too, Lite flow (paid) allows you to add additional apps beyond the standard ones (Gmail, SMS, Facebook, etc).

thanks, but I wasn't able to see any attachment? *confused*?
EDIT: I can now, XDA/browser issue, seen it now - so resolved and thanks
I'd suggest you try out the lite version of light flow first then decide to buy it or not. It's worth the price AFAIK!
