No.. because there are no backlights. They are part of the screen.

LED's close this tread.........:banghead:

Light Flow works great
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
sorry, i meant LED notification that stays until i unlock my device.
Light flow allows you to set various options for various notifications, one of which is the LED will remain active until the notification is dismissed and you can set the custom flash timings therefor making the LED remain lit.
so after installing widgetlocker, the led notification light on my N4 stopped flashing for text msgs. Any way to fix this issue? The light still flashes when I receive email however..
I have heard of people using the Light Flow app to customize their LED lights. Try it out

I agree gagdude
I use Light FLow and it's a powerful app even in "light" version
As title states...is there a trick to do this? Notification led works fine for texts, but I get nothing for gmail. Thanks

There's an app called Lightflow on the Play Store that works great for changing the notification light settings. There is so much customization you can do, it's a really great app I would definitely recommend that you check it out.
Just tried that...didn't work. I always used light manager...didn't work at all. Can someone confirm ye or ne that gmail led notification works on this phone?

Looks like there is no way to have multi colored led lights using third party apps...light manager nor lightflow will change colors. Bummer

The LG notification light software could be overriding third-party program settings. When you use the notification test mode in lightflow, the LED does show up as whatever color you configured for that notification. I just got the phone and I haven't had a chance to really mess around with the notification light so I'm not sure.
Test mode only shows red no matter what color you choose in both light manager and lightflow

Then u have a defective phone...
alright, this is what I do to get mine to work.
Download Light Manager. Make sure operating mode is set to normal. Then just to test the LED settings change the missed call of any normal notifications to a color of your choice. Then under the same menu where you changed the color hit Test. Once you hit test a pop up menu shows up. Says something about screen off or something. Well don't click anything. Just hit the power button on your G2 and turn the screen off. wait 3 seconds and you should see the notification blink the color you just picked. now turn the phone on, click ok and click Restart light manager.
Now for Gmail, or other apps to blink custom colors you need to uncheck the notifications from normal system settings. go to settings - display - Notification led. Don't click the on.off switch, click the words Notification LED. Then uncheck Missed call, meissed messages and missed Emails. well, all of this fixes mine. I have Customs LED set and it works fine.
Hope this helps
I am the developer of Light Manager. It is an app to configure notification LED color and its flashing frequency for different notification types.
I noticed that there are quite a lot of Nexus 5 users are using Light Manager app. Almost comparable to Samsung devices which Light Manager is designed based on. So I would like to make it fully compatible with Nexus 5. One major bug that users reported is the WhatsApp notification LED does not turn off even after notification has been read or cleared. I think it happens to other notification as well.
I don't have a Nexus 5 to test. Could someone willing to help in doing some beta testing? You may PM me or send me an email. I will send you the install apk for beta testing.
Thanks in advanced.
Actually I only start to have problem after update to 5.8, I am using ART
p.s. I got the same problem on hangout, not whatsapp
I have no issues with light manager but I don't use whatsapp or art.

I use and don't have any problem with LM, using it for months on several devices...
But if you look for further versions testers, I'm your man!

You mean the LED notification for hangouts remains blinking even after you have read the message? If you are using normal mode, did you enable "Allow Recreate Notification" in Light Manager > Hangouts option?

Could you help out in testing? I have added some fix but not sure if it can fix it or not. Let me know if you are OK and I will send you the apk installer for testing.

Yes I can help, but don't expect too much feedback from me due to I don't have too many msg per day to toggle the bug.

I've been using light manager for a long time and haven't had any issues. Using ART runtime and Hangouts. I also use alternating mode if that helps.

A Nexus 5 user reported that he found a way to simulate the whatsapp LED remains blinking bug at the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51149422&postcount=1727
Could someone here verify if it happens to you too? Just want to make sure if this bug happens to all Nexus 5 users instead of certain users only. By the way, he is using alternating mode.
Thanks in advanced.
I use to use this app a lot but the same issue with the whatsapp app was happening with Google hangouts for some reason.
I really love this app and always use it.
Is it possible to make notifications flash even if the screen is on? (i.e when using another app)
Thanks in advance

This has to be done at the firmware side instead of application.
Light Manager can support it if manufacturer allows it.

Will custom notifications sounds be implemented in future releases or the donate version?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Sometimes whatsapp notifications keeps blinking even after clearing the notification. It's needed to restart the light manager app.
It would be nice to have a led notification when receiving a call like light flow does.
There is no charging indication too. But I think it's a problem of nexus and not the app.
I keep using this app anyway, I use since a had a galaxy s4.

How come nexus is having charging indication problem?

There's no continuous led when charging.
The s4 behaviour is: when charging, red led continuously, when fully charged green led continuously.
In my recent experience with nexus 5, I can see that, with the stock kernel, it's impossible to have continuous led, only intermittent.
With custom kernels, like Franco or faux, we can see in changelog that there is continuous led implementation.

You can try go to Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Static LED and select option 2. That will give you somehow continuous red LED (In fact it is just 8s on 2s off as reported by other Nexus 5 user).
Hi, Is there anyway to make capacitive buttons backlight as a notification light?
Must need this feature on it.
Sent from my SM-G7102 using Tapatalk
Like led notification ?
indeed this would be handy ... should be possible with custom kernel as not a new concept.
Anyone any luck with this?
Yeah i'm looking for this too, like the function with cm roms.
Looked on xposedmod ditectory, tried 'xled, gravity box, wanam(xposed modules)' ... can't get it to work
The strange thing is this function already exists... when we get a notification the screen comes on and the 'back lights' come on. So, the problem is that it's not adjustable.
Can get the correct function using gravity box but the led stays flashing and won't stop until reboot.
Only two custom kernels available, tried both, no luck...
But there is new hope, with the development of custom roms. :thumbup:
