Capacitive button notifications - Nexus S General

Is there an app that will make the capacitive buttons blink for notifications like messages and calls and emails?

Its called back light notifications (bld) and requires a custom kernel to work.
There are similar apps though they turn the screen on. NoLED I believe its called.

First of all you need a modified kernel with BLN functions.
I use LightFlow app to program the events that will engage light on capacitive buttons.

There is no such thing possible
Do you really care that I'm using a Nexus S?

Notifications Idea

For missed notifications, does anyone know if there's a way, or an app that would light up the two buttons on the bottom of the phone? I think this would serve as a good replacement for not having any LED's on the phone.
You may want to do a search you will see there are already several developed threads regarding this.
Or you might use an app called Missed Reminder from the Market. It does light up the screen thoug, not the buttons.
Look for app called noled 0.9 its free on here and market

Completely disable notification light

Is this possible? There's an app called LEDs Hack in the market but it sucks.
If you use cm7, you can go into settings and disable every light that comes out of your phone, even tweak the dim/notification levels etc. I've yet to see an app in the market do this. Led hacks only kills the bottom lights on my evo I believe.

If you are using a sense rom, you can go to menu>settings >display>notification flash. Unchecked them all. I might imagine that you'd also have to disable settings in 3rd party apps, possibly.

Thanks, but for most apps you can only turn notifications on or off. You can't disable the flashing LED but leave notifications on.
Black electrical tape?
Lisa: Hey dad, that light says check engine...
Homer: Uh oh... the tape must have fallen off.... there, problem solved.

i use WidgetLocker. it works great and basically lets you put any widget, or application shortcut on the lock screen as well as custom sliders.

+1 widget locker. Dev is quick to fix problems that arise. Like fingerprint issue was fixed in a couple days after bug was found

I think that this can be resolved with an after market app. I use HancentSMS and it does all of that and more.

[Q] How to prevent screen on with SMS?

Is there any way to prevent the screen from turning on when I receive a text message? Thank you!
Download Textra. In the app settings you get that option.

Default app
Thanks. I was hoping to stick with the default app, as I really like what Samsung had done with the pop-up notification.

Maybe the Lightflow app have settings for this and can override the default settings. Originally Lightflow lets you change light on the LED notification, but I have seen other settings in that app too. Worth a try.
Textra also has a pop-up notification. Not sure how it compares to Samsung's though
