As some of you already know what I am talking about, in the HTC phones we had an option when rooted to boost the LED brightnes inside the Nexus Torch app, now that the Arc is rooted this option is not compatible though with this app.
Do you know any alternative? Any dev can adapt it to ARC?
"Extended Controls" has that option and it works on the Arc.

It's giving the standart LED light, on the Nexus One app I used to use the special option ''ultra bright'' it doubles the intensity of light coming from the LED
Any further help?

Okay so in the internal T-Mobile myTouch Champion website a user
posted a thread like this to share information about which apps will
work to light up the LED for the myTouch Slide.
Free Applications:
LED Desire Light: This application allows you to alter the brightness of which the LED lights up in 5 different increments. It also has a text entry space of which the application will then turn into Morse code through the LED.
LED Light: This application isn't as bright as LED Desire, but it comes with a nice widget with similar styling to the default widgets of the phone. Although these widgets are not the same size.
Akari: This application has the same brightness as LED Light but with a very simple UI...just one large "On/Off" button. This application takes up practically NO space too. So if you want a light app...this is it.
BeamWidget: I really like this widget, it allows you to tweak the brightness and more closely resembles the default settings widgets but the icon is a TID BIT larger than the default settings widgets. I believe this one MAY be as bright as LED Desire Light. Download Here
Post here if you find more and I'll edit my original post to include your recommended application.
I use BeamWidgets, someone over in the Desire forum is developing it. Simple widget... You set the brightness when you add it, and it works wonders.
You can download it here:

LED Desire Light works gret on the slide. I love the fact that it offers brightness controls. I also use Flashlight, a market app that uses the screen for light. It allows for one-handed brightness controls and puts off good light if used in a smaller area.

After using all of these applications I definitely have to say that Beamwidgets has to be my personal favorite. The link in the OP will direct you to the dev's thread on XDA where he mentions to be launching other widgets soon which will also be very nice.
Its simple to use and very bright which is something that other similar widgets can't offer in terms of brightness.
Everyone should definitely check that link out.
thanks for sharing
One thing to remember is these LEDs were not realy meant to left on at full power for long periods of time. If you are not carefull they WILL burn out. Use wisely folks.
I will use this, but the only time I ever regularly use my phone as a light, is at night, when walking from my living room to my bedroom after all the lights have been shut off... so 10 seconds at a time shouldn't be a problem
Awesome! Nice to have, when you drop something in the dark. I set the power to about 75%, puts out pretty good light even in a well lit room at that setting.
Another one that I found is led light by picolyl. It works pretty good as well. Has a 1x1 widget. Tap for on, tap for off.

Is it possible to, like the small little notification led, make the smartphone's buttons (home, search, back and options(?)) (or even just one button, if the respective drivers allow it) stay on when there's a pending notification?
I saw this on a friend's LG 2X and he told me that was a customization made by someone in a custom ROM, so that wasn't a stock feature.
I think this will be, if it's doable, an awesome extra feature since the led is too much tiny to capt our attention to the pending notification and I imagine it's not very hard to implement.
Thanks in advance.
Well I am gonna point out that the small notification led we have is really cool RGB led. So you can have different colours depending on what it's going to notify about. Sad thing is as you stated it's pretty small and not visible at some points.
I would say the thing you wish for is up to the ones who customize roms. Ask them, head over to the development section.
Right. I'll post this in Dev section.
As long as we're talking about notification led, can someone tell me where to find full a description of light colors and meanings? The manual on the Huaweis own site isn't full/complete, 'coz it doesn't mention a blue color. I once got the led to flash blue, when Watchdog Lite "got a wiff" of an app that misbehaved and notified me about it. And it wasn't a one time event, since it did it with every Watchdog notification.

if the application can manage the led then you could see every possible colour if it is programmed for it...
for example through the handcent sms you can put whatever colour you want for the notification the programm handles...
so maybe with watchdog you can try it too...
they don't have special meanings the colours and they turn on to the colour they are programmed to from the company...
Is there a good app to set notification light color? Besides Light Flow (which changes the color but only blinks once or stays always on) or Blink (which asks for an internet access I don't want to grant due the usability settings, and thus haven't even tried)? Any way to change 'em manually?

I've noticed that the LED light widget isn't that powerful on the S4, and GoldenEye doesn't seem to have it in the drop down menu like my S3 did. I use the assistive light widget, but the output seems to be lacking. If I install a flashlight app, it's much brighter, however I do not want a flashlight app with all the permissions they want. Just for a light!
Is there anyone who could code it to be brighter, or maybe a parameter I can dig into using an app to get into the filesystem?
Just use Wanam goto lockscreen/hidden flashlight

Hm, I hold the power button, but it doesn't have a flashlight option. Latest version, safestrap. The wanam xposed mod doesn't work either, the one where you hold the volume button to turn on.
Hi guys, I noticed that Galaxy S6 doesn't have DOZE (lollipop's ambient display) feature.
I searched on google but the only ambient display feature is for AOSP ROMs with Xposed only (module not working on TouchWiz).
So I was wondering if someone will be able to make this feature for TouchWiz too (Xposed or not).
Thanks in advance
I have noticed once or twice if i get a notification from someone on my edge contacts it acts like a ambient display when i picked it up. Dont know if the screen was still on from it coming in or it turned on when i picked it up. But it definately reminded me of my nexus 6 ambient display with the clock lit at a low light state and the notification on the screen
So thats a good sign of it being possible

Lollipop's Ambient Display is not present in Touchwiz. You can download an app from the Play Store called Active Notifications (and one other app by a similar name with similar function) that basically does that exact same thing - and it should work without root.
(Also, side note "Doze" (not DOZE, an acronym) is not part of Lollipop, nor is it related to the Ambient Display feature. Doze is a new feature in Marshmallow that puts the phone into a high power saving mode when it's not being used.)
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but the Moto Z does have a front LED light that can be activated by changing /sys/class/leds/charging.
It seems to be activated when flashing in fastboot (?), and is a small white light between the camera and speaker. The Moto X LED app seems to work with root permissions. Unfortunately there's only one brightness, so the brightness control doesn't work.

i've use this since moto x style, z play also can use, but no option for missi call / message
Use light flow legacy for led for missed notifications.
I'm using Moto Led Enabler (root required).
With this you can choose which app enables the led.
Not the most stable app at the moment but does the job.
I'm currently only using it for hangouts, gmail and missed calls.
Every couple of days it needs a kick in the rear to get going again
Seems good, I do miss the light on my old S4.

Strange, it ticks all apps after close and open. And the LED did not go off. Is there some special setting necessary?

Thanks for your tip.
I installed the Moto Led Enabler is working now.
I use Light Flow Legacy with great succes. The LED blinks with every notification I want and it works together with Moto display. It needs root though.
First install the app. Go to the setting and enable 'root modus' and 'use root on every action' (or something like that, I use a different language on my phone). Then go to notifications and set charging led to 'only' and brightness to 255 for every notification. That's all

So it's required to have a rooted phone, right.

I guess it's not possible to access the LED without root. Not with this method anyway. So root is required for light flow legacy to work yes.
