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?

Uh, yeah, hit the "LED" button in the quick settings panel to turn off the LED.

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

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?

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

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!
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

Make sure it is enabled in accessibility in the my device settings.
How many colors can the LED in the S4 display? I know it does red, green, and blue, what others?

Its probably like the galaxy nexus where it can do pretty much any mix of the colors. Its an rgb led I believe.
Turned it on in accessibility and everything works perfectly
Am I doing this correctly? I have "USA and Canada S3 mode" and "Run in foreground" enabled as well as light flow lite enabled in Accessibility to get this app to work properly on my S4. Are any of these actions redundant or will cause more battery drain? Thanks.
Edit: I disabled "USA and Canada S3 mode" and "Run in foreground" to get the colors right.
i still get some talkback issues when viewing gallery, hope to see this resolved soon

Are you rooted? The usa/Canada mode is inky for non-root. Also, running in foreground is not needed. (not for me at least)
I have lightflow running flawless and I'm absolutely loving how it works with dashclock

Negative. I think my lightflow is working correctly.
I just uninstalled Lightflow. It constantly did nothing for certain notifications, I'm getting texts and having no LED at all even though I have it set to blink orange. It works when I test in the app, it works for a little while, and then I just get nothing.
I know there is a thread on the app, but here's a video of me setting it up

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.
