One thing I really liked about the Touch Pro was the little light wheel flashed when you had an incoming text, a missed call, or a voice mail. This was especially useful if I walked away from my phone, and came back.
Now I don't know anything about programming, but I was wondering if it is possible to make the little buttons on the Touch Pro 2 flash in a similar fashion. Like a wave of light across the bar, if you understand what I mean.
Sorry if there is something like this out there. I didn't know what to search for.
why don't you just set the notification led to blink for each of these events. you can set it in the sounds & notification settings.

Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see where. On the sounds and notifications, it only has a tab for Sounds and a tab for Notifications. Not trying to sound snarky, but I don't see anything about a light on there.
Like I said, maybe I'm just missing it.
on the notifications tab theres a drop down menu for events. look in that & find which events you want the status led to blink for
That just flashes the little green LED at the top, right?

Right, sadly the tp2 only flashes one color with notifications/events. Flashes amber when battery is low
Hopefully someone can figure this out in the future

Yeah. I hope so too. I liked the little flashing ring of light on the original Touch Pro.
I know there's apps like Blink, Missed Call or HandcentSMS that allows you to customize the LED light colour, depending on what message you recieve.
However, i cant seem to get any of them to work with Froyo. Missed Call even has a warning when you download the app that it does not work in Froyo.
Is there any reason for this? Any way around this?
Which froyo are you using, sense or vanilla?
Handcent works perfectly with the blue led, havent tried any other colours.

I guess this is the wrong forum?

the few colors of handcent works for some reason... chompsms does not, Handcent must do it in some weird way
Hmm. Im pretty sure it didn't work for me. Ill try again though.
Also I'm surprised no developer has included led notifications within their roms. Can they?
Handcent blue/orange notifications work on AOSP and HTC 2.2 ROMs for me, including OD (last I tried was 4.0.4). Since SMS is by far my heaviest phone usage, I just set it to blink blue until I see the message.
Having Missed Call LED notifications working would be brilliant though.

Yea i dont know why there's no app that allows you to set an LED for all notificatons. Email, calls etc etc.
If handcent does it for sms, why the hell cant it do it for email? And why only blue?!

Handcent is an sms app, not an email app. Thats why it can't do it for email.
As for the colours; blue,green,amber,pink and light blue, are all available and work with handcent.
I am using Leedroid 2.1 rom for Froyo.
when I receive email, or missed calls my LED flashes green until I clear the notification of said email/missed call.
***edit****
Just tested again to confirm... if my phone is plugged in and charging the notifications will not flash to indicate missed call/email ..... however once I unplug it the green led begins to flash!

handscent just offers the multicolours for SMS...................
I think with default Froyo SMS, Missed Calls, and Email all flashes green. I can't say for sure though. I just know that with Leedroid thats the case, and When I installed Handcent I was able to change the colour of the SMS notification LED.

Oh ok, i just misread your post.
There has to be a way to have these custom led colors built into roms. or an stand alone app that allows you to change the colors for all notifications. It's possible, i just dont know how to do it.

It says my rom is not compatable? i got OpenDesire running..
also, all this seems to do is turn the led's on and off with a button. I want to tie those colours to a message/email etc so that when i get one of them, i see that colour
Come on guys!
have you guys tried "Easy Reminder" from the market?
with that app you can let yourself remind of missed calls/sms and you can edit the led-color..
hope this helps!

what are you bumping for?
you have to switch off stock sms app so that handcent one is in use, i.e stop notifications.
currently only sms colour can be changed using handcent
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?

does anyone know if there is a mod to be able to change the LED colors for notifications? (ie; missed call=green, text=blue, etc) im running CleanROM on VS980 and was just curious. having certain notification be the same color kinda bugs lol

Sorry about that. I am not sure how Lightflow and Magisk work (or don't work together). There is another app similar to light flow called Light Manager. I haven't used that one. It may or may not work for you. I have heard that others like it.
I've used lightflow and light manager and they both work. I personally like the way lightflow app is set up but that's just me lol.

Hey
Tryied the aplications Lightflow and Light Manager..
Good aplications but it's for changing led beside speaker...
I want to change the color notification from the led around the screen .. you guys dont have it ? o.o
An idea of what I'm talking... Led/Light Notifications
I don't believe we can't edit this led. Maybe a change of code in the rom or a mod..
we have option to deactivate this led in the rom options, soo perhaps we can access to is code to modify either.
when receiving any notification I realized when the phone screen is upside up the led appears to be thiny, and If you turn screen upside down the led light become more larger and change the color to green.
Ideas:
- Changing led notification colors.
- Changing the time of led stays on.
- Changing light effects (Breathing, Fading, Marquee, Pulse, Spectrum wave, Alternating)
- Change intensity.
Is this possible? Or some of this ideas now or in the future ?

I think that what you are talking about is edge lighting. That is a feature specific to the S8 line (I think). It is actually the screen lighting up, not an LED. I am able to get mine to light, but it is always blue. I haven't been able to change the color, duration, or pattern, but I haven't put much effort into it.
Look up Edge Lighting for the Galaxy S8 and maybe you will find some pointers on how to modify the behavior of the edge lighting. On my version of the phone there is a setting for Edge Display, but it only has a few options of when the lighting is used. No color, duration, or pattern options.

Yes, thats right...
But I don't think the light come from the screen.
Try to put phone with screen down and make a call for your phone with another phone.. When start blinking, put screen up and see the color "blue" changing to "green".
The light frame when the phone is upside down is more stronger, and when receive notifications with screen up is tiny.
I believe that is the maximus frame of the "led".
Yeah your thinking about edge light. That comes from the screen (only the edge it lit). There's no way to customize it (that I know of)
