LED colors

So this trackball LED is supposed to be able to show 3 different colors, right? So far mine only blinks white. What makes it turn other colors?

if its connected to bluetooth headsets or handsfree it will be blue.

That sounds kinda boring ._.

I heard it has an RGB led under there similar to how the G1 had the RBG next to the speaker.

Yeah, I was really hoping that different apps could set it to different colors like the G1 can. I used to have one color for IMs, one for texts, etc. I forget how I set that up but I don't see any options for it now. But I'm sure I remember seeing apps where it asked you what color you wanted the LED to be. I think AK Notepad has that option...

Im agitated by this feature missing.
Handcent ,Missed reminder do not activate these LEDs.
Very dissapointed.

I was assuming the same thing, I loved that feature on the G1. It helped me know what I got, before having to view it myself. Even the Sidekick LX has more colors than the N1, that is, if it only has 3 o_o the option is completely removed it seems? How disappointing..

On the G1, we used Missed Call to set colors.

give it some time the phone has only been out for 2 days

Has anyone confirmed that this is NOT a multicolor capable LED under the trackball?
My guess is that there aren't any apps, yet, to address this capability on the N1, yet. I, too, would be disappointed to lose my colors and the missed call app.

Short version:
Flashing White: Incoming call
Flashing Blue: Incoming call while a bluetooth headset is attached
Pulsing White: new notification

I was thinking this exact same thought, I figured since the mlevin said it was capable of going only 3 colors, I assumed it could do that. I once also thought that the LED on the G1 could only go; Red, Green, and Orange, but that has also changed.
EDIT: So there is also a "status light" embedded at the top of the device, hidden behind the black tracing around the screen? Why has this not been mentioned anywhere o_0

control panel in notification drawer.

hey guys, ive had my nexus for a while, but i switched over from an iphone and on the iphone there was a plug in called sb settings which allowed you to swipe your finger across the status bar and a small control panel would drop down giving you options to dim your screen, turn wifi and other toggles on and off, and gave you your system info all without having to leave the current app you were on. i was wondering if there is such a thing for android, where you have a control panel in the notification drawer.?
looked like this on iphone

A free app called 'Bar Control' will let you put shortcuts in the notification bar.
I use this with 'Switches', a paid toggling app, and a free app 'Wifi Status' (that warns you if you have wifi on but no connection to a network).

Quick Settings free on the market will also do this. Nice little program I use it every day.

+1, works great (although it could do with a UI uplift).

exactly what i was looking for. works great. thankss. itd be cool if the led flash was supported for nexus. but it gets the job done.

It would be good, I'm stock so not sure if LED torch works with root.

the led torch app for the N1 defenitely requires root

reinstall the theme again. it looks like the theme was deleted during rebooting.

Just replace the SystemUI.apk via Root Explorer, or whatever you have.

Maybe you got connected but didn't hang up? The bar turns green when you're in a call and want to go back to the home screen. Try it, make a call to someone, and during the call, press the home button. You'll go back to the homescreen but the bar will turn green letting you know you're still in a call.
Edit: After looking at your screenshot again, I was correct. You were still in a call. If you look in the notification bar, you can still see the green "Phone" icon which indicates your call is still connected.

It always shows up green when I am on a call, but in another screen. To test it, call someone, then hit the home button & see if its green @ the top. You may not have thought it was connected, but the phone did.....as witnessed by the phone symbol in your status bar.

White LED?

Anyone else notice the white led that lights up while charging?
I wonder if this could be RGB as well and light up with other colors?
Perhaps someone can bring a tweak or mod that can activate the LED for notification purposes?
Just wanted to get this thread started for anyone also interested in this happening. I hope a Dev can come forth and make it a reality!

This has been mentioned. I am not rooted yet but I wonder if anyone has tried the Light Flow app from the play store to see if it works.

I am rooted, and have tried lightflow. Unfortunately it reports that the LED is white only. :crying:

So it doesn't work for notifications at all through the app?

No, I could not get it to have any control over the LED. I tried the legacy version as well, and direct mode and also granting su (all suggestions from the author of the app). Nothing worked.

But can it be used for notifications, even if it is just white?

I don't think so. It's pretty much the same led that was on the 3rd gen Moto and it's not much use for anything actually useful.

Phone just updated to QFJ

Have that dot to hide the navbar now, but now the navbar is white.

There are 6 different colors you can select for the nav bar. Find them under settings/display/navigation bar.

They are all white in Settings, although I've talked with a few others and they are not having the white problem.

I know - you've got white with a blue tinge, white with a red tinge, white with a green tinge, etc. They're all white though.
I use automate to get it back to black - it works for almost all apps, and it's a lot more consistent than that navbar play store app (which tended turn back to white if you hid the navbar).

Download navbar app from the playstore and you can get the navbar back to black or to whatever color that you want. Your welcomes?

Deleted.

Not sure why but mine is grey with white icons. Dont know what changed your color.

I use automagic but would be interested to see your flow so that I might be able to convert for automagic. I'm using the navbar app now and yes it is somewhat unreliable

I pulled the whole process from here - I've never used automagic, but this should help you out.

There's a new update out for S8 and S8plus security patch plus some other changes like wifi calling is now called calling plus
