Has anyone found any app to change the LED color or flash frequency for notifications? That was probably my favorite thing about the G1, and when I got the Cliq I was disappointed. The Slide is leaps and bounds better than the Cliq, but I was still hoping for a blue LED...
Im pretty sure if you use handcent for notifications atleast you can change the color for text
I use handcent for all my texting, and that's about the only thing it won't do so far is change the LED.

i dunno it may not be a multi color led
I haven't been able to get any colors out of mine yet but green orange and red(orange may be just red and green on together?)
why not put a led like in the g1 its nice to know what the notification is before the screen goes on... it cant be that much more costly, i am also coming from the cliq, I bought a g1, mt3g,cliq and not a slide all on the first day they were available from tmob.
im very glad to be back to htc, i have used htc almost exclusivity for the last 4-5 years and i doubt ill stray again in the future
Yeah That's what I did minus the original mt3g. Hated the cliq though. I went through 5 cliqs because of hardware defects. Worst phone ever made.

i just noticed handcent isnt on the market.. wtf?
Seems like everyone says that, but I can see it just fine. Im using it on my slide right now.
Send me an email cdholland87_at_gmail.com and I'll email you the apk
There seem to be people that can get it, and cant get it. Like, I jsut downloaded Handcent yesterday, but others cant, but I cant Find/Download LauncherPro, but others can.
Been told its a Google issue.
i heard it was a problem when apps get updated they are not showing back up in the market, it only seems to affect the slide, odd but the first few days i had my slide the market was acting very odd it was slow and wouldn't show any paid apps at all, but it seems fine now...

Are you sure your getting a blue led flash using Ringo Pro, cause i have it and its green only. Even if i set every setting on my phone to not show a led for notifications, using Ringo pro it still flashes for some reason. If you have a blue led pls take a picture so we can see this?
I was taking a quick look at the leds in the G2.
When i look at the jogball-backlight in regards to the trackpad light, I am unable to change the color. It retains the following value.
# cat color
color : invalid lengthI tried to echo "0 255 255" into that, and still see the same message when I cat it. Any ideas?
Also, I can cat 255 into the brightness with no effect. I see the value when I cat brightness, but the light is still off. Looks like you have to trigger it? When sleeping the display and forcing the notification light, the brightness gets set back to 0 after it's flash.
Also the jogball-backlight directory contains:
- uevent
l- subsystem
l- devices
- power/wakeup
- brightness
- max_brightness
- trigger
- color
Also, check this out.

You tried this after soft root, correct?
Hahhahha my mistake nevermind...
Where is the trackball light? Is it next to the earpiece like every other LED light on most HTC phones?

It has a touchpad light like the nexus and a battery notify light next the speaker. Currently, the trackpad flashing during an incoming call and the led light by the earpiece flashes during low battery or solid while charging. No flashing anything for notifications such as messages/email/ or reminders which sucks obviously. No apps change this currently without root. I guess this was the concern and the color obviously.
Tweetdeck makes the led flash when new post appear
When I have a new text message, with Chomp, the trackpad flashes intermittently as long as it goes unchecked.
Well that's good news I look a bit harder for 3rd party apps that can make notifications without root and see. Plus, there is a trackpad light app that requires root but let's you change colors and it creates notifications for email/sms/mms/ and reminders.
Have you tried that application yet? Would be interesting to see if it works as the directory structure looks different than what I read about the nexus 1. I was wondering if the 'invalid number' for color was due to no color being available, or just something that we couldn't read/set.
The notification in the earpiece looks to be amber/green versus RGB.

The notification in the earpiece also goes red when battery is low along with amber and green so I think its RGB. I miss that led being used for notifications like on the G1. The trackpad glows slowly for notifications and seems to be only if the screen is off.

If you go to /sys/class/leds you will only see amber and green. On my G1 I see red, green, blue. I think the amber is actually used for the red. I think it would be hard to having any blue colors without a blue led setting.

Im assuming none of you guys seen the other two ligths located at the top left of the device on the face? if im not mistaken if you hold it up to the light it shows a purple square bulb below and a blue one above. is the blue one for blutooth? and is the other thing the proximity sensor?
I'm pretty sure both of the other "bulbs" you see are actually both the proximity sensor, on my vibrant there were 3 things, one was the ambient light sensor and the other 2 were the proximity sensors. I guess its an emitter and reciever.

Hey, I just got the G2 and I am also gravely missing the LED notifications from the G1. I installed handcent, and have gotten the trackpad outline to blink, but the blinking is so infrequent and limited to white. There must be a way to toggle the charging indicator LED's. I've tried the app "Blinker" with no satisfaction. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
not getting the notifications on gmail, or handcent or anything. This is a deal-breaker for me. I may steal my nexus back from my wife and leave her with the G2 if one of you smart guys cant figure this out!

That's because the trackpad does the notifications. Not the other lights nor will they ever work for notifications... get the apps that add reminders and you'll be fine. Quit crying...
Lmao @ quit crying ! But really.. Am I the only one who likes the fact that I can see when I have a notification while my phone is charging? I think it was a good idea though to seperate them. Any dittos?

What is this reminder you are talking about? I don't see any reminder in the sdk. Also, I would be on board with finding alternate apps that use this reminder instead if the Gmail app used it. No notification on gmail blows, I'm sorry!
Also, I heard chomp shows the led notification, but I tried it out and it doesn't how about being a little more constructive and offering alternatives.

No its not a built in option. Nor would it be in the sdk... there a few third party apps that add the ability. Here's what I use: gmail notifier/ sms notifier/ and calendar notifier. They are all free and available in the market. They work very well and make up for lack of traditional led. The trackball flashes too only in white and fades on and off slowly.

When the N1 came out, all we had was white notifications from the trackball. It took some time but devs eventually figured out how to get diverse colored notifications from the trackball, and from the charge LED.
Relax and be patient, surely the G2 will follow the same path. It just came out.
So i have been waiting forever to get blue led or any other colors to use with missed calls or sms. sms pop up (app) or missed call (app) will now change your led to only blue. no other color works that i tried but atleast its one more.
Handcent will make any color but red flash the led blue, I don't think it would do anything but red before

emails are red...(gmail & vm)
Handcent only works for red and blue (I have it set to red), My Nimbuzz IM is blue, and my Kik is a purpleish color but u have to set it on green from the notifications setting so it can work.. I'm currently trying to get a new color for my YouMail app...
Omg another thread about this.
I thought magenta worked?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
The epic only has a red and blue led...no green. So the only colors your going to get will be...
wait for it...red...and....blue
And as stated above, magenta should work since red and blue makes magenta...i couldn't get that to work in 2.1, I'll have to try it now that I'm on froyo.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
As far as I know, there's only red, blue and violet (red and blue) led colors. Too bad they didn't put a green one in there. That way you could make a hell of a lot more color combinations with rgb.
The only time I've seen violet is when the phone is charged and the led is blue. Then someone sent you an email or text. With the screen off, unplug the cable and for a brief moment the led is violet.
Ive noticed that on froyo, i get red for email and texts, blue for twitter and purple for im apps

I see a lot of people talking about no green this and no green that. Please point out where I said there's green?.. All I said was to get my Kik messaging app to flash magenta I have to select the green option. But yes those three colors is all I get too....
handscent doesn't do a damn thing with the LED for my epic It doesnt flash, it doesnt even come on when I get a message

Thats strange. I didn't try to change any of my LED stuff like I did on my old mytouch and it still gives me the blinking LED

The main reason is to explain why we are limited to only those three colors. to get more than a few colors, we must have an RGB(red green blue) LED, (which the Epic does not)without one of those, our color options are drastically limited.
Although that is good to know about Kik if I ever try it out.
the only way you will see our led is with the screen off for missed alerts. so if you are using an app and it has a test notif option you push that then turn the screen off and you will see the led
Currently running Gingervillain 1.5.
Is there a way to change LED notification color for missed calls, text...etc?
I looked at Gingervillain settings -> interface -> indicator color.
But changing that color doesn't changing anything. LED color is still showing as green when I get text messages and missed calls.
No way to change the color. Only green or amber.

Yeah, only green/amber/red for htc... -_-
is there even a way to control the LED for the desire z (frequency and/or color) under any ROM or using any application?
Well, as it's been mentioned, it's limited to green/amber because of the hardware.
However, LED Me Know (from the market) might get you the flexibility that you're looking for.
So far, each notification has been white but looking closely, it looks a muffled with tinges of red and blue in there.
How should it be?
It is rgb so it should be an array of colors. I know there are apps like light flow I believe that allow you to change the color. Gosms pro for example already allows me to change color
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
All the default notification lights are white as far as I am concerned. The colour tinges is from there actually being 3 coloured LEDs being on at the same time to mix the colours into white. But, yes, if you want to customise it use Light Flow.

Ok so can anyone else let me know if they get any other colour from gmail?
Tried light flow and the test mode flickered green (but no other colours) so it seems it is working at least.

I have red for gmail... I am wondering if this is related to the fact that I have restored some data with titanium backup...
Hmm. Strange. I notice I am not always getting notifications at all, neither LED or tone.
