I know this is not the correct forum, but there's no one for X Force...
Does this phone has an rgb notification LED and could it be controlled with root?
Thanks!

It can be controlled with root, but cannot be used for notifications. If we get a custom kernel, then maybe... for now its just used to indicate when the battery is charging but not charged enough to turn the phone on.

Turn off your phone and plug in the charger. You will see the green light to the left of the ear piece

I just did and still nothing. Are we talking about XForce or DT2? Does the battery have to be at certain level? Mine was at 98%.

you need to have the battery at 0%.
If you are rooted there are some commands you can run to light it up. google moto x notification led and you should find it

Its not a notification light. It's charging indicator light. Your battery level must be near 0% if you wanna see it. Or you can use an app from post above yours if you wanna enable it as charging Iight whenever you charge your phone.

Try do discharge your battery to 0%, let it shutdown by itself and then plug the charger. See if that works.

Hi, there is no way to have the LED blink when we have a message or other notification ? :/

FlashAlert 2 does use front flash. You can choose which flash to use in settings. But its only for incoming calls and sms. And you're right ,it's way too strong.

Unfortunately this "hidden" LED light is in fact only used by the stock OS to show you that the battery needs to be charged when the phone doesn't have enough power to light the screen.
If you ask me a pretty dumb way of using this beautiful LED light... I hope someone writes a custom rom for the dt2 and moto x force that allowed this once we are able to achieve root and bl unlock.. Good luck guys

That appears to be a Motorola-specific feature, not baked into 4.3. Granted I would not be surprised to see that feature become standard in a future version, but it isn't right now. From a user front-end perspective 4.3 changes almost nothing.

Is it white because it's only white, or is it white because LightFlow hasn't been configured for the RGB LED yet? I think (and hope) it's the latter.
not sure.. hoping for the same!

From playing around with it, it seems it only pulses when the screen is off. If you get an email notification and your screen turns on, it won't show. Try waiting until the screen dims after. It should be near the base where the charging port is. I almost missed it since it's so low!

Thanks. I was able to force it on with the app, so I finally see where it is located and can verify it works.
I have to say, I'm not to impressed with it. It's so dim that I don't think I would notice it unless looking for it. The notification light on my phone is about 100x brighter.
Mine seems to be broken. I tried this app and turned off the screen and I still see nothing.
It also has speakers. Test them in poweramp music player with high volume.
I didn't have to enable it either.
Does anyone knows how to fix? I'm rooted

Anyone figured out how to get the rear power button LED working with lightflow or similar? Lightflow controls the front LED nicely, and I've played with controlling the other LED's with it, but none of them work, and I'm not sure which is supposed to be the rear LED. It would be really cool to get it to flash for texts and such.
Are you referring to this or something more detailed?

I have that checked, but it doesn't do anything, at least for me. Front LED works great, no luck on the rear one. Does yours work? I'm on CM11
That's for "button back light" meaning the light behind the front buttons not "back button light". Big difference there.
Sent from my LG-G2 using Tapatalk
Thanks for clarifying. I actually wondered about that. But I couldn't figure out what difference it would make my checking it. I never have my phone facing down to really care what the light on the back button is doing anyway. Lol

I'm on CM 11 and it seems like the light turns on when i get a call and SOMETIMEs when I get a text but thats it.
i would like the rear light button on the back to act exactly as if i was in stock.
Well I tried it out and bought the pro version of light flow and to say I'm dissapointed. The control of the back light does work but it doesn't pulse or pulse slowly on and off. the power button light just stays lit.

You have to go to settings go all the way down the page and it should be listed in additional LEDs as button blacklight. I enabled 1 and 2 because I think I enabled just one and half of the button lit up when I enabled both the button was fully lit

I've never understood their color selection, that is why I don't pay attention to what samsung wants for their LED lights.
Good point. Thanks!
Sent from my SM-N910C using Tapatalk
Here is a list of the default colors:
Blue:
Pulses in multi-tone blue while the device is turning on or off.
Blinks blue for a missed call, message or other notification.
Blinks blue when you are recording a voice.
Red:
Glows red when the device is connected to a charger and is charging.
Blinks red when the device is connected to a charger but there is a problem with charging.
Blinks red when the battery is low.
Green:
Glows green when the device is connected to a charger and the battery is fully charged.
I hope this helps

Hello to all on Xda. I noticed that our Droids ( Turbo 2) has an LED on it's upper left hand corner, just between the front facing flash and the earpiece, where the sensor is at. I noticed that it is an LED notification when I drained my battery fully down to 0% , I plugged in my included turbo charger and behold a green light came on for a second. So is there any way to activate our LED as a notification tool like with older devices. Is there maybe an app that can do that, app not needing root?
No there is no way to have led notifications.

I do. In fact I'm not really a fan of the moto notification. Miss the old one I do, that's why I was asking if we can enable it some how some where in the system without having root access. Maybe one day with the help and power of root we ( me ) might have an LED notification as well. Give the people the right to choice what they want, give us more options.
I'm not saying LED is bad or should not be available. Just saying at first I was like you and missed it but once I got used to Moto notifications I liked it.
