Led notifications - Xperia Arc General

Hello!
Now that we have root, I'd like to know if we can in some way modify the notification light so that it uses the led on the homescreen led?
Would be so much better then the one on the side!

Well it's gonna be pretty hard, since there's no LED on the front, only an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor....

I think maybe the OP means the lights between the buttons on the homescreen.

Im using the application "Light Flow" from the market on my play
although it only does the light on the top of the phone it is useful for it to flash different colours.

Don't beleve the ambient light is a multicolor led anyways...

Pretty sure its not, but it would be so awsome if the led behind the homekey could just light up whenever something hapened. that way i could just have it in the dark at home and see if it lights up at all time without having to turn it the right way.

whatsapps does have the features to use different colour side led when a new notification arrived....

Blink - Just search on the Market for it =)

yup whatsapp can change the colour of the side LED for notification

I had BLN on my SGS Captivate. It would be awesome to find a way to do the same with the front button lights on the Arc.

LED Color notifications

Is anyone running an app on their slide for changing the led colors when messages,calls, etc comes in( for non-rooted phones) or do you need root for this?
LED Notifications
I have tried many; all have been a epic failure showing only a green light no matter the color selected... And I'm not running root, not yet anyway...
Wonder if it has to be something like the trackball for nexus (trackball alert free) ill test that tomorrow and post back if it works

After looking at the LED real close while it was charging I noticed the orange is at the top of the spot and the green is at the bottom. If you look real close while it is lit up you'll notice there 2 LEDs on the chip, so it looks like orange and green are all we'll be able to get

No LED notification for T-mobile!!!

I wonder why T-mobile and ATT versions of Galaxy s2 phones don't have LED notification light! It looks like Sprint cares more about its customers.

That's hardly a solution and LED Notification lights can do more than just light a button up.
Not to mention it's very unattractive.

or use noled! its simple and i use it on my vibrant plus it has themes
When I tried my first Android phone (at Sprint) I returned it partially because it didn't have a notification light.
Years later, when I switch to T-Mobile, I knew about NoLED so I went with the Vibrant.... I don't use NoLED but "Missed Reminder" and I don't miss the LED.
I didn't know about the button light mod... I may give that a shot.

Yes, using a third party app is very likely.

I hope so buddy. I find the LED notification to be extremely useful. Great not having to turn on the screen each time to see if you missed something. Just wished Samsung got more creative with the notification like LG did with the Optimus Pro.

What I meant about "more creative" was that LG decided to make the LED notification around the home button instead of a blinking dot on the device. As far as apps, Light Flow is definitely the way to go.

Lg was not the first to come with that design. Just saying. My htc flyer had this design too.

Does the N3 have an led notification light?

Anyone know?
As the N2 does not.
Thanks in advance.

I would imagine that the N3 has an LED notification light. But the N2 also has an LED notification light. It is just left of the top speaker grille, above the Samsung logo.
Great thanks. If the N2 has one then the N3 should have one two.

From the hands on videos, it does Have a notification light
this guy has had a note 2 for a year, and didn't know he had an LED notification
I assume it is the tiny blue one like on the S4?
Iwas wondering same... I can't see any notification led but maybe I'm blind

Multi-color please
My fingers are crossed the notification LED is multi-color (and more than just red/green/yellow) so you can quickly identify the type of notification without relying on a blink pattern.

I have the S3 and never really noticed a "blinking pattern"...
Mine just blinks (blue and green and red). On / off / on etc.
Tell me more about this pattern?
There are 2 dots next to the speaker grill, so there should be a LED notification light.
As to multi colour led lights, you can always use apps that make multi led colours! I have atm purple, blue, red, orange, yellow and green for my notifications.

Some phones use a pattern to differentiate different alerts (text, email, voice mail, etc.) and there are apps that let you control this too as there are apps that let you assign different colors.

This only works if the LED supports those colors, some LEDs are only 1, 2 or 3 colors like the HTC EVOs. They use a pattern instead of color, otherwise red for charge, green when charged or blinking green for notification and yellow for low battery.
I just hope the GN3 notification LED supports multiple colors. Is the notification on other Galaxy phones multi-color?
I would assume the Note 3 would have something similar to the Note 2. I have red when charging, green when fully charged, blinking blue for most notifications, blinking green for a text message. Don't see why they would get rid of that.

If you have N2 and don't see LED notification light, then you probably won't see it on N3 either, because evidently you don't get anything to be notified about...
N2 has 3-color LED and these colors can be combined producing different colors (require additional apps or even kernel)
Don't worry guys, I'm sure the led is cheap enough for Samsung to keep in the GN3.
This video will answer all of you the questioning regarding the led notification:

NB: GN3 is the one on the RIGHT!

If anyone is still in doubt the Note 3 I had this weekend has a notification LED. I don't think Samsung has time to remove it in the next week or so.

Menu and Back button colors

Excuse me if this has been addressed already but is there a way to change the colors of these buttons on the bottom of the phone?
Another thought, is there anyway to have the buttons flash certain colors when screen is off for notifications. I know we already have a led notification light but flashing buttons would be kinda cool too.

Probably not they aren't RGB leds like the notification light, just regular white leds.

Can't be done. Hardware limitation. Those buttons don't have colored lights behind them.
