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.

Its open desire 4.0.15 so its vanilla Froyo.

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.

have you read this ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700418
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
During a call the notification/status bar at the top really wants to let you know you're on a call. It turns a ridiculous color green with an animated wave running through it.
Were they serious with this? It has got to be the worst choice ever. It conflicts with everything - except - maybe what they did to the Hobbit's Shire on Blu-ray. 1983 called and wants their CGA color scheme back.
Can this be changed? How can I express my... concern to Sony?
And the lock screen clock. Ugh. What the heck Sony?

Almost every phone out there has a Green Bar during a call.
Im not a big fan of the clock but its something different.

Don't like it - make your own rom....
It could be Fluro Pink for all I care regarding the ongoing call colour of the status bar, and the clock? Change it if you don't like it. Jeez...

Green can be okay but what they've selected is horrid.
The clock is something very similar that appeared in an earlier version of 4.x and then quickly disappeared. Probably because people found it ugly. They should have known better. Replacing the lock screen is easy if I want to give yet another company personal info but... recommending to someone to unlock their bootloader, create a new ROM and install is insane to take care of the flourescent green.
does this bar random my appear? I don't see it for all calls.

It is active when you go to another app while calling.
I LIKE IT!!
It's absolutely unbelievable that Sony don't want to listen every single one of us...can you believe that?
Green colour is used because you have exactly the same (check with hex colour codes) colour of call button.
That's the feature you'll see few times only, can it be you are having problems with it?!
It can be changed without any problems.
Extract apk to your PC decompile it and change 9.pngs and xml/smali (java) code.
Recompile and sign it and you'll have your own colour...
If I built another theme I'll theme that as well..
For those of us who use Textra as our SMS app, please go into the settings menu> support> contact us and request that they make an edge panel with the same functionality as the floating notification. I have requested this feature and they are open to it but are unsure if there are enough Edge owners using Textra. It would be the only SMS app to show the actual text as opposed to just the notification icon.
+1
Added request.
Done
Not a textra user but looked them up on Google play and requested the feature too. Told if was addedi would their app.
Done sent them a request, they even replied back to asking me for a screen shot showing where exactly I would like the preview to come. So sent them the screen shot and they have acknowledged with "Thanks" ... now lets wait and watch
Not trying to troll but both the stock and go show the notification on the side
In fact i don't get any verbage at the top anymore. Every program has transferred to the side

I jump between textra and evolvesms. Last week textra had an overlay on top of the main screen. I immediately uninstalled it because thats what the edge is for. If they are open to suggestions I will request that feature as well now that I know.

I like having a "dark" or "black" skin for messaging. Stock can't do that to my knowledge.
I tried GoSMS back on my note 2 but seemed like a lot of bloat. Textra was simple, straight to the point, and customized just enough for my liking.
Maybe I'll give GoSMS a try again?
Just submitted a request for this as well. :good:
Agreed and done.
Guys
I think our request has been done, there was a update to Textra yesterday on my phone, updated through playstore and now i can see the message text on my Edge screen when a new message comes

You can see it for just a second and that's it? right? same as GoSMS? no function inside the edge screen or anything unique?

I see the complete message when it comes if its big message the text moves line after line and if I click on it that takes me to the message in textra.
Yes the message text does not stay on the screen for a long time but its comes as soon as a message is received and shows the text line after line and then goes ...
I had also requested Textra team to add unread notification count on their icon to show up which I think would be kool to see on the edge screen

Got it... out of thanks for the day... but thank you for replying... So, basically the same as GoSMS... If they ever do the unread notification icon to show on the Edge Screen, that will definitely make me move to Textra... I was looking at the sceenshots from Textra from Google Play... and it looks almost identical to GoSMS... lol... (the developers are copying each other, lol)
My Bad guys ..
I have tested the textra messaging app now on Nova Launcher & on Toch Wiz .
On both the message preview is still coming as a floating window on the main screen and not on the edge screen at all ...
But the unread notification count is now showing up correctly on the edge dock on textra icon

I made good on my promise to switch once they abopted edge notifications. I also read you have to turn off the floating notification. I didnt have to for mine to work but I did anyways. Works great, just wish there was a call button like on the stock application on the same screen. Its there but a couple clicks away.

Mine wouldn't work without turning off floating notifications.
Does it work if the phone is locked for you guys? Only my express me panel lights up. No message preview.

Yeah mine does. But it shows as soon as it comes in and only gives you like 5 seconds, if that. But that's the same as the stock app. I'm under the impression the factory settings are the main road block to getting the edge panel to behave the way we want. Maybe the guys who have rooted could let us know if this is the case. I gotta play straight on this phone so i won't be rooting anytime soon. I'm hoping maybe a modified nova launcher might get released for the edge. I've used nova on all my Galaxy's and am sure they could get this edge panel sorted out.

I dont think you can change the notification color, I also dont like that color notification either.
What you cant read, the whole message? It only shows a preview for just 2 seconds seconds.
I tried to disable the notification in message settings, but it keeps showing up. Maybe its a software bug.

Go to stettings, and scroll down to the last option->About Phone, mine ends in B188.
I tried other themes and launchers, and it still has that black notification.
I havent tested the gmail app yet, to see if it shows or not in the notification.
Maybe they will change it in the 6.0 android, or wait for a CM rom.

Hi there, I'm facing a problem with the notification in WhatsApp, when I get a message and let's say I'm chrome or any other app it's only shows the WhatsApp icon on the notification bar, but if I don't remember it wrong it should at leats show me something like new message from "anywho" and then the icon, or even give me the option to fast reply showing me the whole message but it's not doing any of this, only the icon and I have to draw the notification bar just to see who is texting me..
It's this the way it's supposed to work? Cuz is driving me crazy..
I have last marshmallow stock build with July security patch, unlocked and rooted with EX-kernel and a theme called Milos using layers manager, dunno if that have something to do with it..
Ty, guys.
