Hi,
I'm using Paranoid Android and I've set the notification LED to blink red. It seems that apps can override this setting and set the color they want for their notifications, since Facebook for example blinks in blue... I had Facebook set to blink in blue in the past but I've deleted that setting and unchecked "use custom settings", so it should use the default color now... Is this a bug? However, SMSes blink in the default color...
Please help.

Hi, I searched the threads and google and saw that someone asked if they could change the flashing green light for a text, email, etc...to like purple or red or any other color. Is there a way to do this? For AIM i changed incoming messages to blink purple, but how about for sms, email, etc... thanks!
you can either download chompsms in the market and change ur sms LED settings there (note that the led change will work only for chompsms)
or
download missed call and change your sms LED settings there.
For SMS messages, you can also download the latest apk mod from rgv151
For more info, check out this thread.

As far as I'm aware there's no way to make the standard notification colour change, but there are lots of apps out there that allow to switch off the standard notifications and replace them with an app-based notification of your choice.
For example, SMSPopup and Missed call allow you to replace the LED colour to one of your choice (from pre-defined colours) as well as change the frequency of the flashes, and also the type of vibration (e.g. long vibrations, short vibrations or combinations thereof)
I recommend SMSPopup as it will also wake up your screen and display the text message, like the majority of phones do as standard.
thanks for the info.
I ve installed the CHOMPSMS and wonder how can i disable the factory messaging program (i installed ASTRO). I tried to change the LED Blink colour in ChompSMS but it doesn work, i need to set the light from Factory Messaging.
Please help
p.s. Does anyone know if there is an app that i can add the A-Z alpha onto my contact phone list so that i dun have to scroll around.
You can turn off the notifications on the stock app by going into the apps settings and scrolling to the bottom unchecking the box that says "notifications."
I hope this answers your question, and as far as changing the LED color, you need to be rooted in order to do that.
thank you!
I have rooted but i am unable to adjust the LED colour from ChompSMS, only can do it in factory messaging.
Uncheck the notification only not showing the icon right? does it disable the app permenatly?

I use handsent sms but also have sms popup. I have the notification off on the default and handsent. I use the sms popup because it lets me use trackball for different color for different contacts. Extra work but it works for me.

I quit using Handcent a while back because I wasn't using any of the features. I haven't used it since I got my N1 actually. I used to do a lot of work with the Dev on it. With SMS popup I can't get the trackball to work at all. You're using the LED setting right?
This is how I have the N1 set for trackball notification. 1st I have missed reminder install. I have the red selected for missed sms and blue for calls.I use handset for default sms but have the notification off, also the default messaging notifications off. I then have sms popup. Sms popup is enabled,for the quick yes or now replies, under the contacts notifications have different colors selected for contacts.

You're using the "LED" selections right? I'm trying it and none of them are lighting the trackball.

In what application? Please be more explicit.
I have the same setup as jerrycycle (coincidence) and for example using SMS Popup - Notification | Default Notifications | Enable Notifications (disable notification in the standard messaging app) and then go the the Led Configuration section and set your options. Now, use the Test Notification function to test your LED's.
You need a custom ROM but you should not use any LED mod for this.
The led will work for the chompsms and handcent. The custom option has to me the chosen option and the time has to be set. There is a 3 second delay before the custom colors work. I can't say what to set it on without reconfiguring my phone to test.
I'm running CM7 #37 and cannot figure out how to turn off blinking LED notification for the email app (not gmail). I have an exchange email setup and it always blinks on new notifications, but I want to turn that off. All other LED notifications are already off. Please advise. Thank you.
well if it hasnt changed from the cm7 RC it goes
settings>CM settings>Interface>LED Notifications
from there u will choose whatever is listed under applications...for example mine is Miscellaneous and then if i select that it lists all my apps that have an led notification that can be applied to it...just select email and turn it off

Have you tried unchecking the "Missed LG Emails" option under Notification LED.
I'm not sure about that but I use light flow and thats how I disable the led for different gmail accounts and still get the icon in status bar.
I have that unchecked and still get the green led flash for new Gmail messages. I have used light flow in the past and liked it. I tried it on this phone and it didnt seem to work properly. I had the led disabled for Gmail in light flow settings but it still flashed. I suppose because notifications were turned on in the Gmail app itself.
The other strange thing with light flow on this phone... In settings, I have notifications in order of whats being used first. Even though I have them both turned off, google now and gmail were at the top, indicating that they were on.

For gmail setting, same thing happened to me but then I digged deeper and I think inside the gmail notification settings in light flow for that specific account there was an "inbox" option I entered and disabled it there. I also have "Missed LG emails" off.
Please let me know how to enable notification LED, ie use LED to notify me about new messages/calls.
Active Display
I believe you will find the settings under the active display menu. Hope this helps..

Hi!
The setting is located under System Settings --> Display --> Notification light. You will find there the option to enable/disable the notification light for missed calls and voicemail, plus the ability to create/personalize new notification light alerts for your other apps.
