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.
I have installed Cyanogen 5.0.6 ROM on my N1 and everything is working properly. However, I miss the stock Notification light(top right next to the ear piece) alerts. I don't want my trackball to blink for my emails. I get 500-600 emails every day & LED is too bight for me and blinks all day/night. Is there anyway I can disable LED notification & use only stock for emails? I tried to go back to stock 2.1 FW with clean wipe, unfortunately I can't get the stock notification light to work. LED still blinks instead of the notification light. It glows only while charging - Orange while charging & green once the charge is complete.
Any ideas on how to get that back?
Appreciate your help!
The top right light is only there to show charging of the phone.
It'll be orange when the phone is charging and green when it is fully charged (but still plugged in).
It's not meant to be for email/missed call/sms alerts, that's what the LED is for.
that's what i thought! when i read the OP i was thinking blackberry..
Thanks for the quick response!
I remember that light was blinking for emails before the mod. I am using Nitrodesk touchdown app for my corporate emails. May be this app used the notification light not the gmail app?
I noticed that when I switched to CM 5 (up from RA 1.6.2) my LED stopped blinking for all notifications. This was with several 2.1/2.2 ROMs: CM 5.0.7/8, SpeedTeam Froyo, CM6 FroyoRedux, Chromatic 4.3. HOWEVER I just, in the middle of writing this, noticed that my LED works, including all the colors in Handcent, when the screen is off.
Glad that they do work now (or did, and I never noticed it), but is it possible to make the LED work when the screen is on?
Thanks!
I am running an android build (froyo v2) on my stock hd2 rom. I have had a few issues but they have all since passed. The only thing I miss is the notification lights. For example if I had an unread sms it would keep blinking. This doesnt seem to work on the android build. Another problem I have is that when I charge, the led light doesn't stay on, it only blinks if i unlock the screen and touch the notification bar, but it never stays on....
I did a search on google and on the forums and couldn't find anything.
Is there something I am doing wrong?

I have the same problem. My LED light no longer stays on.... I cant find any solutions after searching the forums...
this is not an issue that only u have...this is a known problem and still devs working on this..!read every time u download a build.. that led lights still not work properly!works only for someone when battery is charging..but when u have a text message or a missed call its not blinkin..thats normal..!i hope they will fix it soon..!
Hi. Is this issue resolved yet? I am using daniest v4.2. I went to display to enable the led notification option for miss call and sms but it is still not lighting up. However it lights up in red when on low battery.
some release use some libs that break led notification.. i use a release like that and i've solved my problem with "led me know".. it's an app that activate led notification. sometimes don't work fine but is well.
sorry for my english! ^^

Thanks! I will reply with a feedback after trying it out. Thanks friend!
you're welcome man!
After trying out led me know for a day, it seems very stable. No issues at all. Blinking of led stops once missed calls and unread messages are dismissed. By the way i had the compatibility mode enabled.
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?
