I noticed since I got my 6P lightflow doesn't override Google apps such as Google messenger and Gmail. Gmail turns yellow led and messenger just white. I'm wondering if it's just me, and if not, if there's any workaround.. Thanks
working fine here, can set any desired color for those specific apps (have then set as red and blue).

How do I change the color of the calendar? Right now mine are all blue which makes it difficult to distinguish between them.
Thank you.
Bump.
let's ask this question differently...
does everyone have the same problem with the calendar assigning only one color to all Google Calendars?
(I have a setup with personal account and a work account, that's like 20 calendars. All are blue, and two at random seemingly are yellow).
Is anyone out there with a firmware where the colors are displayed correctly or are we all in the same boat?
If it's the same for all, I'm going to start investigating preference files. It appears that the calendar CAN support multiple colors (each calendar has its own color label), they're just not set properly, so there may be hope yet.

I did some digging. This seems to be how they Galaxy Calendar app is coded. If I access the calendar via Pure Calendar Widget the colors for the calendar are proper.
I noticed this as well from my launcherpro widget.
It's starting to kind of bug me, but without nandroid fully working I'm not brave enough to explore ROMs in the hope of finding one with a possible fix.
I wonder if there's an XML file somewhere storing all these settings?
As needoz pointed out as well, CLEARLY the device understands the colors when they are synced, it's just Sammy's calendar prog.
Time to browse the file system a little bit.
Will post back if my itchy hands dig up anything more.
Well I'm back quicker than I thought I'd be.
I pulled the calendar .apk from the phone with Rootexplorer, expanded it and started poking around.
At first I was hopeful with all the XML files, and then I hit the graphics section.
All the colors in the calendar are set in pngs. There are 4 in total: blue, orange, green and purple. That's it. 4 colors for events. Blue for internal, orange for google, green for yahoo and I assume purple for exchange. (although it doesn't stick to this strictly on my device so it's really confusing and random).
I also dug up where the correct colors are stored in the calendar.db file, but it looks like Sammy doesn't bother to fetch them at all from the database.
Boo!
This colorproblem really sucks. Does anyone have the original Android Calender as apk ? The Calendar on the Galaxy I9000 doesn´t have that color bug.
You could pull the calander app of the android emulator using adb if it has one. Not sure if that will loog good on the tabs screen

Or look for a app in the market which supports calander colours

Someone figured out how to get rid of the wood theme in the contacts - they were going to tackle the contacts, then the calendar. Sorry I don't know where I saw it, but its out there in wild.
@ranger
The OP is referring to the color of individual calendars, not the background of the calendar app itself.
I did one better and pulled the apk from the Galaxy S i9000 as requested.
Haven't tried it as I got a nice system on my Tab going by combining an exchange and google calendar to achieve the color differentiation. This is NOT a permanent solution, because it involves separating all calendars I have into two groups - work and personal. But it works for me for now so I might try this later only if I'm very itchy.
I'm happy to shoot it over, but before I do maybe one of the mods can help - are we allowed to put up that kind of unmodified stuff on XDA?
I recently added a corporate email account to my Atrix using Mobile Fusion from RIM.
Everything works just fine, however, when notifications are turned on for the corporate email, the notification freezes the phone for an instant, and if I go to manage apps I see that the status bar service is in the process of restarting. Until the service restarts, which sometimes it fails to do, the status bar is gone.
This does not happen with corporate calender notifications or gmail notifications.
Turning off notifications solves the problem, but obviously not being notified of work emails is not very useful.
I've issues like this on the web but no clear solution to the problem.
I am running a "stock" Atrix with all the OEM updates, 2.3.6.
Thanks
This problem has started occurring for me as well after doing a factory reset this weekend. Also running stock and not particularly thrilled about having to disable my corporate email notifications.
I downloaded touchdown and have no issues with notifications at all. This seems to confirm what I've read elsewhere that there is an issue with notifications/security with the motoblur sync app.
My Wife's phone has a blue notification light on since shortly after getting it yesterday even before any apps were installed. I've tried everything to get it to turn off with no luck. I've installed a app from the market to control the notification light and even then it shows blue until another notification happens then it blinks back and forth between the color I set and the blue. Any help would be appreciated.

hmmm... you sure she has no pending notifications? have you tried a factory reset
I think that in stock roms, pending sms notifications are notified with a blue blinking led.
no pending notifications. It's been on since shorting after signing into her Gmail account when I first set it up before anything else was set up. there are no new emails on Gmail no calender events or anything else. Tried a factory reset after updating to 4.2.2 since it came with 4.2.1 and it came right back on during the initial setup of the phone.

try going into settings-accounts and stop everything from syncing. start adding back one at a time with a few minutes in between each. i'd be willing to bet it's an app thats syncing in the background. i had a similar problem when my gf inherited my gnex. if i remember correctly i think it was facebook or some social meadia app. and it was only after i plugged in her account into the phone. i dont use facebook or twitter or g+ that would also be another thing you could try since you have 2 phones. scince yours is not doing it do a factort reset and have her put her info into your phone. if it happens then, then you know its her account
Hi all, is anyone else having issues with notifications from certain apps not showing up? For me it is Facebook's Pages Manager. I can not get notifications for this app to work at all. I've cleared the data, uninstalled and reinstalled, logged out on my old phone, uninstalled on my old phone, turned on "priority" notification mode...
Notifications for Facebook and Facebook Messenger work, although are somewhat slow. Is there some setting I've missed somewhere?
Thanks!
Yes, I'm having the same issue, Viber and Gmail initially, but for me, I also seem to have issues with apps staying awake. I use Timeriffic to change my profiles throughout the day, but after a few hours it just no longer seems to work and Smart Alarm, where my alarm just didn't go off.
I'm sorry I don't have an answer, but if I find one, I will post it.
Hello. Please, when i double click in gmail notification in aod, i read email but if i reopen app, the email is yet unreaded. When i delete a email from gmail app, random sync with gmail web page... Is this a known bug??? I repaet, random, not always and i din't understand why... Can anyome help me? Thanks
Nobody uses Gmail???
This is not a problem with the S8 but with Android Nougat. Its also not only Gmail related its all notifications on nougat are broken The best way to get SOME notifications back is to go to settings/apps/hamburger menu/special access/optimize battery usage/ and uncheck EVERYTHING. Next step is to (with root) use the app "Root- Push Notification Fixer" and set intervals to lowest possible settings. You will still not get all of them but at least you will get some of them..
Another fix is to install nova launcher and teslaunread to show bubbles on your icons when you have new notifications for that app. I have mine setup for about 7 apps and I ALWAYS get the bubble hours or days before a notification ever comes in (if they ever do).
In order to fix the issue specifically with gmail I use a different email app. I use aquamail, but there are a few good ones out there. I don't have notification or synching issues. I don't use the email on the phone a lot, a few times a day. I found a great improvement over using gmail.
