1) write your own driver... which is probably beyond your capability.
2) smash it in with a screwdriver... pretty stupid
3) open the Hermes up and unsolder it... smarter, but voids your warranty.
that my friend is about it.
or... change the registry. Not the precise control you're looking for but this will shut off all LEDs if you're annoyed by your bedroom looking like a UFO landing site at night:
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\AllLEDMgr]
"Index"=0
Note! Disables vibrating too.
VJImpoto should be a safer alternative to the screwdriver method.
However, AFAIK, on the Hermes disabling the driver is not permanent, it has a habit of re-enabling itself from time to time.
There are other solutions though, but at least for me, I haven't had the time to re-write VJImpoto to address this caveat.
Also try VJPlumBum for a brief orgasmic spasm.

Hey Sleuth,
On my way the vibrating function still works.
I just place it face down so you won’t be disturbed by aliens.

I know that it is possible to use app to use different colors of led to display different system messages. But I wold appreciate if I cold just change led color from green to blue (or other then green, yellow os red) when batt charge is on 100%.
Do anybody know if there is a config file to do this?

Oh, I'm sorry. My English is very bay, and I think that you (and maybe all others) did not understand me.
I'm not trying to change battery icon, but the led color. By default, it lights on red when batt are lower than 10%, green when is over 90% and yellow (orange?!?) between these values.
I would like to change the color from green to blue (or any other) when the batt is on 100%.
Tks for your help, anyway...
Sorry I misread you. BTW, I saw one such app (launched today itself) in Android Games & Apps section but a it is for DroidX only. Anyway link is posted for you to see yourself.

can you explain this a bit please? i mean how to do that. i really like tasker, but i'm no master at this
so we need to replace "charged state" led color somehow, and change it by the level of charging, right?
so howto? :}
i've tryed alert in tasker, and looks like it doesnt work on our lil minis
ok. now it works, only if screen is off.
but the charging led is anyway over eeemmm... overconlrolling this. i mean no tasker led blinks, if you put the charger in

yup dats true
I saw a lot of Galaxy S2 preview movies now. But one thing I'm still missing is the notification led....
Lots of reviews, do a review with the charger hooked to the phone. But there's nowhere a led burning that the S2 is charging or something.
Is there a indication LED on the S2 or did the people at Samsung just leave it out?
Personally I think I would miss the led notification if it isn't there.....
Is there somebody who can tell a bit more about this?
Nope, there is no Notification LED for Galaxy S II.

No LED notification - Is this final? This makes me sad :|
Will this stress the LED bulbs out to a point where they will die out?

No, LED's have a lifetime well over 25 years of normal daily use. You will never burn them out unless it was defective.
Well, then I will certainly look forward to his mod. Although the Sound alerts will also suffice.
But that'd only for SMS though

Would be nice if someone could make a program in which different patterns for lightning the leds at the bottom of the screen can be choosen. And that it's possible to assign different patterns to different notifications.
I often have my phone in my jacket, when I'm at work. The fastest way to check if I have a message or something is when I can take a look at the LED notification... We'll see what the future brings.
No LED? There is a video on YT of the boot-up sequence and at 20 seconds in a LED flashes purple at the top left (next to the front facing camera). The model is a retail version (as it has the Samsung logo on). Surely this is the notification LED - or am I mistaken?

Corrected - seems I was wrong! Didn't know the video had already been posted on XDA, turns out it is a proximity sensor

You will see the same effect if you point your phone's camera (or most consumer video cameras or non-DSLR still cameras) at your TV remote and press a button.
You will not be able to see anything with the naked eye.

Any news on the mod which acitvates the light of the home and back button when you have a new message?
The app that you guys are searching for, to turn on the buttons, is called BLN Control.
Here's the site:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/bln-control-free/neldar.bln.control.free
It requires you to have a kernel that has a BLN mod however.
Finally its here!

Thanks for this. I checked the site but didn't see how to install it. So i googled it and found this:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/enable-back-light-notifications-on-galaxy-s-ii-with-bln-guide/
You need to have a rooted sgs2 and CWM installed. download the zip from here (same link posted from the site mentioned):
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&drKey=1359&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1200262&v=1&libid=1312840807984&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.multiupload.com%2FIY7A211PI7&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xda-developers.com%2Fandroid%2Fbacklight-notifications-mod-for-galaxy-sii%2F&title=%5BMOD%5D%20BackLight%20Notifications%20for%20Galaxy%20SII%20-%20GT9100%20-%20xda-developers&txt=Back_Light_Notification_GS2_v3.zip%20(6.77%20MB)&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13128419398541
Flash it in CWM, then reboot. and now my buttons light up when there's a new message.
btw, you should also have the BLN control app from the market (the lite version is free, but less options of course.)
Update: I bought the pro version! and now i can set it to blink, plus it also blinks when there are missed calls. Lite version has only a static light and doesn't notify on missed calls.
The Evo 3D only has 2 led colors - Red and Green - and the original Evo had an extra color, orange. The way it worked was (I'm pretty sure) it flashed both green and red at once to create that color. This means you could have an orange LED on the Evo 3D.
In fact, I already tested something and it worked. Using the application LED Tester, located here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.coolbeans.ledtester&feature=search_result
I was able to flash an orange LED. What happened was, I set it to green and turned off the screen. Before the led flashed green, it was orange for a split second. That was most likely because it flashed red and green both at the same time and then flashed green.
Since you can flash a continuous red and a continuous green, it should be possible to make the phone continuously flash orange or flash it for notifications. I would like to ask all of you application/developers if you could make an app that did this. If you also added color configurations for different notifications (like text, email, etc.) that would be amazing.
Thanks,

i think that would burn up the LED's quicker according to google
"LED’s have a functional lifetime that is far longer than the more traditional lighting technologies. However, contrary to some claims, LED life is finite, and will vary with color and chip make-up. LED’s will degrade over their life span."

LED's tend to last something like 100,000 hours. They'd only burn out if you run too much electricity through them, and the red and green should be on different pins, so I doubt it would do anything noticeable. (For reference, that's 11½ years of being on constantly.) As for this, I'd like to see it, though I don't know how Android itself handles LEDs so I'm not sure if it's possible outside of little glitches like the one you got.

Although that may very well be the case, it is most likely not because:
Using HTC's test program, the light doesn't flash orange at all when doing red or when doing green. However, with the application, it does. This could be for a number of reasons.
For example, it could have been a glitch with the app that caused it to send out 2 LED signals at once. If this were true, the app could be tweaked to keep sending 2 LED signals at once to your will.
Or it could have very well been a glitch with the LED's or something similar hardware related/hardcoded into android. If this were the case an app can't continuously send 2 LED signals at once but can still flash it for a second by exploiting the glitch.
But most likely it is possible because that is how (I think) it was done on the Evo 4G.

I replied to you in the other thread. I don't think you should be using the word "glitch" by the way. That is a very false statement.
yousefak said:
Hold up. Using Tasker, you can assign different LED's for texts/emails/missed calls? And these LEDs are supported by the Evo 3D?
Edit: Using an application, if I set it to be green and turn off the screen, the orange flashes just quick enough for you to see it. If you watch closely enough, you will see that a red flashes just before the orange.
App: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.coolbeans.ledtester&feature=search_result
In theory, a developer could create an application that changed the LED light to amber/orange by making both flash at the same time. If you dial *#*#3424#*#* in will bring up a program where you can test LED's. Green and red will both continuously shine so it would technically be possible to make a continuous orange shine.

Evo 3D has green and amber.
Turn both on when you receive a text = solid yellow. Flash both at the same time = flash yellow. This is assuming you use 100 as the value for brightness on both LEDs. It isn't very hard to do. You can write your own script to do this but Tasker makes it a lot easier.
To easily test this run this command in a terminal with root (su when you open terminal)
echo 100 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/amber/brightness
echo 100 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/green/brightness
This produces a pretty, solid, yellow glow.
I have mine set to hold solid yellow while I am charging (so effectively, I only have the green LED turn on since the amber will be on while charging) if I have a new SMS.

Thank you for this information.
EDIT: I ran the commands through adb and it worked. However, if using Tasker and setting it to flash green + red or yellow just makes it flash green. Is there anything I am doing wrong?
Or you guys can just use
Light Flow. Set it to Direct Mode, then choose Color Mixer in the Notification preferences. You can then choose between green solid/flashing, amber solid/flashing, or both at the same time (effectively making orange solid or blinking). It's much easier than trying to program it in Tasker.

Wow thanks! This is really cool! Only down is that there is no red led option.
Edit: Nvm, dark orange is red. I also found out that you can use the color mixer to make it flash instead of being solid.
Well i just wanted to know if there is a way to turn off the notification light of the x10 mp im curently using naa miniCM 2.1.8. The LED is really annoying and at night while i'm charging it brightens up the whole room so i would like to turn it off.

Hello,
I think ales47 is searching for the possibility to turn off LED only while charging. Otherwise, in normal use, he wants the LED to work normally.
Is it possible to turn off the LED only while charging phone?
Yeah i too think of the same thing. actually the green light is very much bright than the yellow one. i have to keep it upside down to keep the light off. other than that i have no idea to consider you.
or you have to use a light form or something (that it wont hurt the screen) when you charge. and the miss call notification is very annoying at night too. every flash will kill your sleep slowly. i have to clear the notifications before i sleep.
Any other suggestions?

haven't tried it out myself, but in settings - profiles you select a profile, and the last option PHONE, the last option again is LIGHTS MODE and is set in no override.
You could create a profile for the night with the setting switched to OFF.
Hope it works

I once tried the profile thing but i had no notifications. but this is regarding a light steadily lighting. i guess it is for the notifications only.
I don't know why it bothers you at night... at some point I can't even sleep without having light on phone... Put a tape over the LED? I just think it's not possible to change this...

In addition to the other thread reply of mine, I must say that now that I have the device in my hands, I've seen that, by default, it also supports amber/yellow color, by turning on both Red and Green LED at te same time (something that is clearly not specified in the specs. sheet). So you can use those three colors
