I know that the XT720 doesn't have a dedicated LED for notifications - just the blinking of the bottom 4 keys (which is really buggy). I've seen some LED Notification apps around - but does anyone know if it's possible to remap them to the media lights (Camera/Camcorder/Gallery) and those lights for notifications? Or does anyone have any idea how to implement this otherwise?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10603505&postcount=12 There seems to be some ideas in this post about how it can be done - but again, I don't have the knowledge or experience how to implement this.
Any help/suggestions/guidance would be much appreciated!
have you tried NoLED ?

No, I haven't. I'll check it out though
NoLED looks like it's only for AMOLED screens. It would kill the battery super quick on an LCD, unfortunately. I guess no app exists to remap the lights on the phone, eh?
LCD? The XT720 has TFT.

Alright...however, the app that was suggested won't work with the XT720's screen. I'm wondering if anyone knows of an app that could be used for effective notifications?
what exactly do you want? An app to shut of the leds or to use the leds to be notified about incoming messages?
for the first you can use LED hacks- worked fine for me...
How about the second? Leds for notification?

Anyone our there have an idea how to do this? I've tried using BLN control but it doesn't do what I need. The app seems broken since even the notifications are wonky.

Confused here but don't the touch keys only light up for notifications if you have bln or a similar program installed?
they light up anytime I touch them...

Oh wow you want them completely off...I was thinking for notifications. I'm unaware of any app that'll do this. You will have to dive into the code.
I'd also like to toggle the button backlight off. Haven't found anything but folks who want to extend the backlit time.

Start with that thread. Maybe you can use that as a base to decrease the time even more our eliminate the lights completely.
IS there an app that will flash the capacitive lights while the phone is locked when there is a received notification? I can never seem to notice the green notification light. If it isn't i think it would be a good idea for an application.

Wow that's a really cool idea and cool that there is an app for it.

Did you try browsing goodandevo.net? They have posted a lot of useful scripts in the past (a lot of them link right back to xda). Just a thought
Does anyone know how to use the front key lights as notification led's on our L9 since we don't have one? I found out how to use the camera flash as one but that's the back of the phone and i don't like facing the phone screen face down on anything in fear of scratching the screen.
If there is not a method already around somewhere to do this, how hard would it be to get this working? I think it would be a great asset to our L9s!

Use LG Notifications from Playstore. It's free but requires root.

Please try the NOLED app. Probably a better option. Tried on my HTC Glacier. Works.

Works for me.
How does it behave for you? On my L9 nothing changed at all once installed and enabled :/ What settings did you choose? Do they flash after the screen turns off for awhile after the notification, and stay flashing until they are read??

I just chose the default settings, and it flashes the front key lights till the message is read. Maybe cause I'm using P760 V10h on my P765.
The app is a battery drainer since it wakes the cpu up each time the buttons light up.
Im hoping they can program this feature into future roms for the L9 where it just causes the LED's to blink until the screen is turned back up when a notification is received. Not sure if its possible to program the blinking to run without waking the cpu?
That was another concern of mine, but if it was integrated into the rom in such a way to not wake the cpu then battery life would not be affected as much.
I always wondered how to change the colors of the led for different notifications but after seeing in the menu that it would only let me turn them on or off i thought i was going to have to use an app to control it. Well I just stumbled across this and thought I would share just in case someone else didnt know this. If you edit a contact it gives you the option of changing the color of the LED for that persons notifications. Hope this helps.
Awesome, thanks!

Yes, i saw that, and is is useful. I want to find a way to customize the led color on an app by app basis.
Is there a way to get the light to work for third party apps like go SMS?

Great it works, i found out for hangout the first blink of led is the stock colour and then goes to the desired colour from lightflow. Is that unavoidable behavior? Is there a chance of turning of LED from lg setting and letting light flow do all the work? It seems to me that will turn off led entirely. Thanks Again

This is super helpful, thank you for going through this. I got it setup but still having some issues - the notch light is always on haha. going to have to tweak this some more.
Hey all,
Check out the app LED Blinker Pro, there is an option to have a blinking light on the screen. Looks exactly like previous samsung phones, and you can also have multiple lights for different notifications. Problem solved!

Did you try it and does it work?
Just to know if the API that supports it is there.
It seems the downsides of all the led apps is that once you get the notification you can't unlock the phone with the fingerprint sensor, you have to double tap the screen or something to cancel the app and then unlock the phone.
Working pretty well for me this far. I added this app on my gf's and my S10 Plus's. Besides going through the bevy options we have it setup. The light only goes around the camera when a notification comes in. Still doing some tsing so I'll update if anything.

There is an option though that you can select that if you pickup your phone, it goes right to the lock screen so you don't have to dismiss the led screen.
nice app but it's a killing battery

I noticed that, but then beside it it said it uses more power. I switched to aod instead, if only you could get rid of the clock and date and simply have notifications on it.
