[Q] Controlling led indicator. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I'm currently looking for a way of how to control the led indicator in a rooted S3. The task that I have given my self was to create application that does the above but without changing/altering kernel. If you have any information about the led indicator, could you share it with me ?
Thanks in advance.

Lightflow should work in any ROM!

Thanks for your quick answer. But I have mentioned that I want to create my own application. I was unable to find source for LightFlow or any similar application.

That would be very very nice :good::good::good:
I´m looking forward to this

Light flow is only for certain instances.
I'd like a way to have a colour for everything.
Green for what's app
Purple for viber
Blue for messages
White for calls
Etc
Is that even possible? Or does it only light in 3 colours?

You all propably know this already:
Code:
NotificationManager notifMgr = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notify = new Notification();
notify.flags |= Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS;
notify.ledARGB = Color.argb(255, 255, 255, 255);
notify.ledOnMS = 200;
notify.ledOffMS = 300;
notifMgr.notify(1337, notify);
The problem with this is that it works only when screen is dimmed (the WakeLock is lost).

[Q] Turn Off LED

Is there a way to not have the led indicator on the side flash when emails arrive? I keep my tablet in a cradle on my nightstand and the flashing light wakes me up in the middle of the night if an email comes in. I've tried everything I can think of.
Thanks,
Roger
Turn off wifi?
Light Flow app on the Market.
Light Flow worked great. Thanks
Roger
If memory serves me correctly there is a setting somewhere which was something like
"Turn off notifications until......"
Not with the tablet at the moment but I'll double check later.

Yes there is such option during email account set up but I can't find it after set up.
I have a question regarding the LED, too:
Is it a multicolor LED, so can I change the color using Lightflow for notifications (calender, email...)?
Thanks

Light Flow in market. Lite version is probably adequate.

It seems that the Turn off notification only appears during account set up. So you can delete the account and turn off the notification during account re-set up.

To clarify, yes, it is multicolour but not all the colours in Light Flow line up exactly with what colour the Sony displays. Red colours particularly seem to be displayed much lighter than usual on the Tablet.
Thanks for clarifying this!

[Q] Notification LED

Hi all,
I've noticed there are several different LED colors that appear for notifications.
Was just wondering if anyone had figured out which color corresponds to which notification?
Because sometimes the light is blue, green or white? Can't decide which color is for what
Thanks guys

There is not much informations on that page.
When you plug the charger, led will red if battery level is btw 0 and 90%, above 90% its green (even at 100, it still show green-i dont like that).
When you download any app on market, led will blink...
The notification LED can be controlled based on what the app wants. FB can make a blue LED, Whatsapp and general notifications are green, charging is yellow, fatal errors are red, white I've seen on different apps, so it really depends on your app usage. You can't control it directly though settings or anything.
Thanks all for your answers.
Does anyone know of an app in the market which enables you to take control of the LED color? So I can set the LED to flash a set color for certain apps?
Thanks again everyone.
Light Flow works, but you gotta go into
General settings for the app and enable "Direct Mode"
It also asks for root and accessibility settings enabled, but it does work

Yes. HTC uses dual light technology not multi light, hence red and green are the only colours that will ever blink in your device. Hope this helped!

Change LED Color For Notification

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!

Nice find 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?

Prof notification pro is supposed to work on any app, I have the non pro and it works fine for basic SMS and missed calls. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153923

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

There are several apps in the Play Store, which can manipulate the LED light for different notifications:
Light Manager, Light Flow or Flash Notification.
