Greetings,
Is there a way to set a white background with black letters for notifications on Wear OS. I know there are some 3rd party apps, notification replacements which can do that, but can it be done somehow on stock notification system. On watches, everything is about saving battery, so dark mode is logic but it's very hard sometimes to read notifications outside on a bright light..

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.
I updated Lollipop 5.0 recently. Everything works fine. Except for the notification lights...there is only one colour for all apps.
As far as I remember 4.4 had a menue, where I was able to put a specific colour for different apps. For example green for whatsapp or blue for SMS or red for missed calls etc.
I don't see these settings anymore. There is only one blue light notification for all apps.
I installed a third-party app, which is not much reliable. Anyone knows where the settings are...or do I have to wait for Lollipop 5.1?
You can enable and disable LEDs for certain system tasks, like charging, but to change colour for specific apps, the app would need to support that feature, such as WhatsApp - you can find that setting in
WhatsApp Settings > Notifications > Light 'colour'
EDIT - Try this

I'm looking for a cheap Android smart watch with built in Led notification light, same as on a phone, the watch would take the notification from my phone and that can be configured to light up different colours for email, Facebook, WhatsApp, viber etc.
I'm really just need a coloured flashing led function on the smartphone, but currently finding that a hard feature to find.... I would of hoped it would of been a basic function!
I picked up an LG V20 recently, and am loving it. I see it lacks an LED notification light, instead relying on the second screen to show notifications when the screen is off. Apps like Textra let me theme the color of its notification, which makes it much easier to identify at a glance. Was wondering if anyone knew of a way to theme or replace (for example WhatsApp or Hangouts notification icons to be a different color. Thank you very much for any suggestions.

I still think it'd be great if there was a way to make the whole 2nd screen flash a solid color at maximum brightness a few times because yeah it grabs your attention more so than a static icon
I found this thread through a search. I am wondering the same thing as I evaluate a V20. The email notification icon on the Second Screen (I use the Stock email app) is very small. Is there any way to make this larger at minimum and best case, flash continuously like a notification LED which the phone otherwise lacks? Just making it the size of the other Second Screen app icons would be a big help. I would prefer not to try rooting/customizing as I am not confident in my skills and am concerned about bricking the unit.
In the settings, the phone allows you to "customize LED color" and does in fact allow you to set custom colors for charging and a default notification color. But that's the extent of it, there is "per app notification", but that just lets you define which apps can trigger the LED for incoming notifications. I was wondering if there was a way (non-root) to fully customize the LED color.
Second question. My old phones (G5 Plus and LG G3) had distinct vibration patterns for notifications, and I guess I'm kind of used to them after having those phones for so long. So I was wondering if there was a way to have custom vibration patterns for apps.
Thanks in advance
