Hi,
I finally took the plunge and installed this rom and must say it's great, thanks!
Everything is working good thus far except the trackball does not light up like when I had 2.1 Sense (VillainROM12). It would flash briefly and rapidly and then go, whereas before it would remain lit until I had read the message. Likewise, the amber led would flash but that's gone too. I'm using Handcent as my SMS app and I've set it on in the settings like I did before.
Can someone tell me how I can get these features back please? Thanks.

Hi everyone,
Thanks to KarrdeNZ's well written guide, I managed to flash my rom to
********Hero ROM for Magic modded for TW users (based on Fatal1ty2787's releases)********
07/18 myhero-08 by redglasses
I just noticed that my phone's LED lights are missing. The LED doesnt light up while charging, and it doesnt light up when receiving SMS as well. I think the LEDs just disappeared completely.
Anyone encounters this and is there anyway to solve it?
Thanks!
led lights do not currently work on Hero Roms, although there are a few hacks to make it work over at the "Dream development forum" of this site..
I'm pretty new to the Android platform and I just bought a HTC Hero on 2.1 which I really like BUT, I have one gripe which I was wondering if anyone could help with!
Whenever I get an email / text, the trackball flashes but the rate of flash is so slow that it's really easy to miss it unless you're staring at the phone for 6 to 8 seconds!
Is there any way to make the thing flash at maybe 1 sec or something similar?
Not a major problem as problems go but I was just wondering if it was possible....
Not that i know of, although i would like to know as well. Some custom roms utilize the led light at the top instead or along with the trackball. The led light notification is a lot more frequent and noticeable than the trackball. I think floyo blinks the trackball way faster than the usual 6-8 second rate
Can anyone confirm that 2.2 speeds up the trackball?
Is there a ROM that is currently 100% working (all features) on the Hero?
Im using a custom rom, Floyo 1.2 and when I get a message the green LED and the trackball LED flash at similar rates, maybe even at the same time. And it is not the pulsating light effect, more like a flash .. a very quick pulsating effect
EDIT: as far as all features go. I think the custom rom even exceeds the features of what the hero could do (a2sd =lifesaver)
There are 2.2 ROMs working flawlessly on HTC Hero. I'm using Froydvillain 1.7.2 right now and everything I've tested seems to work all right.
Nevertheless, I don't know if there is something to change trackball notifications behaviour.

Does that include:
GPS, Maps, Bluetooth?
I'm a bit scared of bricking the phone as my technical knowledge is non-existent!
Also, what happens to the HTC apps - I love the way that the phone interacts with the contacts and keeps records of convos, messages , emails etc in one place. Would all those features go too?
Sorry for all the q's - just a bit worried about causing expensive & irreperable damage!!
All of the GPS, Maps, Bluetooth work, but the HTC apps aren't present.
If that is the only issue that bothers you about your phone then I suggest you look for an app that could do that. you could start with an app called blink, but I dont know if it would work. Try the android apps part of the forum (its outside the G2 forum).
If you do decide to root it, then you could try the sense 2.1 roms and see if someone mentions trackball flash. I think the sense rom called RCMix 2.2 has the trackball flashing fast.
actually dont try blink.. it broke my flashing trackball find another app

I've tested Maps and Bluetooth successfully, but I haven't tested GPS (I installed my first custom ROM a week ago, so I haven't tested everything). I read it is difficult to brick your phone if you follow a good tutorial step by step, but nobody will guarantee it's absolutely safe.
Also, what happens to the HTC apps - I love the way that the phone interacts with the contacts and keeps records of convos, messages , emails etc in one place. Would all those features go too?
It depends on the ROM. If you want an Android 2.2 system, you will lost all HTC apps. If you'd rather Android 2.1, some ROMs include HTC Sense (for instance, VillainROM).
I think like nijnvy about the way to solve your issue. If you only want to change the way blinking works, I would try to configure it with some application instead of installing a custom ROM.
...someone who needs notification leds that do not time out?
Hi guys, and happy new year to everyone!!!
I am trying to setup a friend's wildfire, and i need to flash a new rom.
My friends biggest issue with the stock rom is that the missed call / new sms notification leds timeout after 5 minutes. This is not good for him because he needs the leds to stay on until he interacts with his phone.
Is there a rom out there that supports something like that?
I already tried "ledmeknow" and "missed call" but the leds still timeout after 5 mins, despite the fact that i have disabled the stock notifications...
Can somebody recommend a ROM?
Thanks very much

No ROM supports this AFAIK. I still think you are doing something wrong, because, just yesterday mornng, I woke up to find my Wildfire's LED on, and, a notification saying I received an SMS 2 hours back.

Hey 3xeno,
Nice to see you again... I probably am doing something wrong LOL...
I am still waiting for a response from the developer of ledmeknow, but i thought i might see if anybody has had more luck with another rom, before i start a long trial and error process and flash all available roms - i am on holiday and have a bit of time on my hands lol...
Try all the roms available. The notififcation LEDs work fine in all cases for me.
Hi guys,
I flashed the Wildpuzzle rom and ledmeknow works perfectly now!!
Thanks for the help guys!!

I have a problem with my desire Z, the LED notification (not the trackpad), It report new messages only for 5 minutes, then goes out and does not report them anymore.
I tried Gosms, Handcent, but nothing changes, and if I leave the stock message app can not set the stock LED.
Help
no one?
Telling us what rom (custom or stock) as well as kernel (custom or stock) would probably get you more answers.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA App
Stock rom, Gingerb 2.3.3
Kernel: 2.6.35.10
Sense 2.1
no LED at all
I found this thread while searching for solutions to LED problems too. I've tried CM7.0.3, CM7.1RC1, HTCClay SuperCM7, GoSMS, Handcent, stock SMS, none of them will light up the LED for SMS notifications or anything else besides low battery or charging battery. any link to some LED faq would be great.
I'm in the same boat. Just picked up a DZ and the notification LED timing out after 5 mins is a real bind... kind of defeats the purpose of having an LED if I have to switch on the screen to check in case a message arrived 6 minutes ago when I was away from my desk!
Anyone have any ideas about how to keep the LED flashing?.. I'm on the stock UK SIM-free ROM, Gingerbread.
LED Me Know used to work, until the upgrade to Android 2.3
I had it working until my update last week!
Hi XDA
I'm running Cyanogenmod Nightly, at the latest Kang but, since the official nightly of some months ago, the led started to behave differently:
Before it flashed in green for notifications, and in red when the battery was out;
now, even for notifications, it flashes always in red...it gets green only when plugged and the battery is charged, and with notifications when charged and plugged.
I tried various utilities for led configurations, but none of them fixed it..
Am I the only wanting the old led behaviour?

Try Light Flow its in the market, After setting it up and configuring your led's, reboot to see it take effect.
I'm on the latest kang as well n have been using Light Flow ever since nightlies have been pushed out.
Some of the latest official nightlies seemed to mess up the LED stuff. I use Light Flow, which works perfectly for me.

Thank you for the advices!!
Is this Light flow a program that runs in background or something?
Do i need the paid version?

Yes, it's a program that runs in the background. It also works with your Accesibilty options free vrsion works just fine.
Also, as a suggestion, tsubus, an xda user who is compiling nightlies (ILWT) has created a zip file that can be flashed via recovery that will revert led notifications back to their old behavior. The file can be found in ROM Manager or the ILWT OP here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242480 It should work with any CM7 based ROM.

Testing in a few minutes...i'll let ya know!
This patch works like a charm!!! that's just what i wanted...i tendo to avoid programs running in BG
Big thanks to you!!!
Will i have to flash this every time i update my rom?
That patch will have to be applied everytime you wipe data. If you update your rom and just clear the caches, you will not have to reflash the patch.
Hello
I am experiencing the same issue. I tried the patch from the ILWT page but it doesn't seem to be working. I have the CM7.2.0 stable release on HTC Desire Z.
If you want true led notification get an N1
