One of the best features of Samsung is their use of RGB LED's for notifications. I was sad to see that there is not customization of the LED and was wondering what my options are? I have ROOT access with locked bootloader and found a few apps (LightFlow is one) in the play store but they seem not compatible with the Note 2. Does anyone have any tips or methods to get custom LED notifications going? I know I am not the only one who wants a color other than blue for all notifications.

Nice works pretty well, thanks! The LED is not that great at making colors but it at least open it up to a few more options for personalization.
Light Flow that I purchased when I had my GNex also works, though the colors are a little off from the Gnex, at least for me. Orange is showing up as yellow.

I've already made a request for a toggle between charge and recovery mode...now im requesting the use of the different led colors we have for notifications. I found an app called "led tester" which shows all the colors as being available and I use "missed call reminder" which allows me to use those colors for missed calls but nothing else. I would really like to be able to program which color led is for which notification. Thanks again

I'll second that recommendation. I tried Light Flow and found it was highly customizable.
My only problem was it does not play nice if you use Handcent, as of Oct 20th, 2011. Things may have changed since though.

I also use light flow, unfortunately it doesn't work well for my calendar notifications, but I still use it because its the best I've found so far.

available in the android market. This app is awesome! reminds me of my bb back in the day. Lets u change the color of the notification LED w/out being rooted!
Awesome find!! it works perfectly
Been using it for about 2 weeks now, works really well, just wish the light would stay on constant instead of flsahing, had the light setup like that on my old Desire running MIUI, found it really handy having it on constant. But not to worry, not a huge problem.
I just installed Light Flow and for some reason it only works when my phone is in sleep mode. Is this normal? How do you set it up. Thanks
So can you make different colors with the notification light?

Does anyone know how many different colors the front status LED can create. I'm interested to know because it would be a great hack to have different colors for different notifications, etc.
Try light flow app to see which are available

From what I can tell, at least five or six. There's a LED Tester app on the Play Store that's free where you can try different colors. There's also a free/paid app called Light Flow that allows you to set very specific notifications on an app/event basis. Both currently have issues displaying the correct colors and at last Light Flow is being updated soon to support the S3. See http://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/1826 for progress updates.
Hope this helps!
Thanks, exactly what I needed to know.

Last I heard light flow has a lot of bugs for the s3. So just keep that in mind! It could also have been patched by now too. So look into it.

Quick question. Does anyone find that their led doesn't blink with non stock apps? Like I have gosms and the led lights up and stays lite instead of blinking same with like yahoo mail. I also notice if I use say lightflow and pick say "blue" for an led color the color will show up "red" no matter what color I select it will show up a different color on the led. I just find this weird.

I havn't had any issues with the Gmail app. But I do know that setting g custom LED settings in certain apps can sometimes make the LED act funny you may want to check settings in individual apps.

Uninstall Light Flow and you will be all set. It has some bugs with the S3 sadly. The dev knows about it and will fix it in the next update.

I have read that it is a known bug. Hopefully it gets fixed in the next OTA update.

glad I wasn't the only one and was able to check to see others are dealing with the same. I just got my verizon phone yesterday and it has been driving me bonkers tryingt o figure out why it wasn't working! I knew I wasn't that android ignorant!
Not sure if the latest light flow fixes this, but a brand, spanking new release is out!
I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 that is rooted and is running LiquidSmooth ROM.
I am looking for an app that let's me control my notification LED more.
I'd like to be able to set multiple colours in a pattern for a certain app, for example when I get an email I would like the LED to alternate between blue and white. Is there an app or mod that offers this type of control?
Thanks.
