This is probably a ridiculous question, but the most annoying thing happens. I have an S4 Active with Stock KitKat on it. The default notification LED for most anything is blue. I use Handcent, and it allows you to choose a color for the LED to be whenever you get a text. Problem is, the LED is whatever Handcent sets it to as well as the default blue. So for instance, if the color I choose is yellow for Handcent, the notification is green. If I choose red, it's purple. I mean, it's Kindergarten level color mixing, but is there a way to override the default blue? Turning it off just keeps anything from using it.

Hello all,
A long time ago I was messing with the trackball colors on my Nexus One with the Blink application. I uninstalled it, and later had formatted the phone. However, even when formatting the phone, I noticed the custom colors I set via Blink seemed to stay. For example, I colored the Google Voice voicemail notification green and a Facebook notification blue.
How can I make sure that Blink's settings are cleared out? Or, is it possible that Google has updated said apps to make the trackball flash certain colors?
Thanks all.
Mods: Move this as needed. Just noticed. Sorry.
Apps can flash trackball colors. The apps you mentioned are flashing their default colors as they should.
So my notification light isn't working for emails and Google voice. It works for texts and other things. I tried light flow and that didn't work at all, even after unchecking everything in settings (I would buy the full version to get voice support if I could get the rest to work, test mode doesn't even work). I have searched around and can't find out anything.
I use Light Manager. You have to uncheck the system email led notification. Settings Display->Click on the Words "Notification light" brings up all the system Led options. . Any other Apps , disable their Led notifications individually. Gmail is an issue on this phone. The Gmail App doesn't have a separate Led option. It's either notification on or off. If you leave on Light Manager can't change the color on this phone like it does on a Samsung. If you turn notifications off, you get your custom color, but not status bar notification. Light Manager continues to flash your custom color until you open Gmail. That might work if you don't mind missing Status bar previews . As far as Light Flow, I haven't found a way to make it work on this phone. The developer says people are having some success, but didn't know how. There's a section about LG Led's not playing so well in the app description.
Yeah i am less worried about custom colors, at least want the notification light to come on, which it doesn't for either Google voice or Gmail, and that's with the stock notification or light flow.
I have read tons of people saying light flow works perfect on this phone. I'll try light manager then, see if that works.
What's the default color of the LED indicator when you have a new message in viber? Mine's yellow. Isn't it should be blue? Thanks
Not sure about what color it should be for that app since I don't use it, but if you want to change the color try downloading Light Manager from the market. Allows you to change the color of the LED to basically whatever you want for each app.

Off topic question, does viber still wakes up the screen upon reciept of a message? I stop using viber bcoz of that 1 single reason.
Thanks.

Hello, i'm on RR (i won't change!) and i tried LED Manager, Light Flow, XLight (XPOSED). None seem to work. Built in RR settings work FOR BATTERY ONLY. Strangely not for notification : it flashes white no matter which color i pick.. What can i use (and how)?
Search for "Notification Light" in settings. then untick "Choose colors automatically".
After doing so, you can customize every notification by holding your finger on that specific notification and clicking on gear icon, you can customize notification LED.
Indeed it works. But not perfectly : Unlike battery led setting that has full control (really, any subtle change is accepted), notification led setting only let you have basic color, some even being skipped, green and blue for example. I'm wondering.. please check!

This is kernel limitation I think.
You cannot change blink rate either, you can only choose "always on".
Thanks, I wanted to shut off all LED notifications at night. There are apps for this. But this seems like a better solution. I went to "settings" and searched on "led" and toggled off "notification light". I'm not sure how to test that it's working. But I sent myself an email and a text message and there are still no LEDs turned on. That's how I want it.
Is there a way to have custom LED notification colors?
I tested a bunch of apps (regular, xposed...) none are working. Always the plain old green notification LED flashing...
Yeah Omni ROM has this feature u can set for every app the color you want.
