Just one question: Is it possible to make the Xperia logo act as a notification light on the TX like the Xperia S?
Bumping this up because even id love this.
What do you mean?
Yes. Just open your device and put an LED under the logo. Don't forget to cut out the case under the logo, otherwise it won't work.

i'd like to see this too
OK. i did some work.
It is actually possible to do it with Light Flow Lite app from market.
Only thing you need to do is that:
1) In settings, it will detect additional leds on the phone (apart from notification and camera)
2) You need to allow control for logo-backlight1 control and logo backlight2 control
3) After defining these, you will be able to select them in the notifications you want to customize
4) When customizing your notifications, you only need to set their state to solid (both 1 & 2)
Only issue is that i couldnt get them to flash. It stays only solid white color.
I have tried for missed call notification and it works fine. Only thing am worried is battery life (coz 2 leds in use and probably bigger leds than the real notification led.
Cheers,

Make sure you have allowed control to additional leds as mentionned in settings.

I have a request for any and all devs. I would like to see a feature (in either a rom, theme, or just an app) where you can change how the one LED works.
More specifically, when it's charging it has the amber color lit up... but when you get a message, nothing changes. So I think it would be nice that when charging and you get a message or whatever, it starts blinking green... instead of just a solid amber color.
Think it can be done?

It definitely can be. I remember a mod like that for the HTC hero... only thing you can't do is change the color cause of the type of led it is (not an RGB led)

I'm rooted. And that app isn't on the market anymore, and I can't download it from that site. :/
Try light flow in the market. You can shut off the led while charging but still get led notifications.
I´ts possible? I have GingerDX v22.

ok do exactly this:
settings ---> cyanogenmod setting ---> interface ---> LED notifacations
control trackball/LED notifacations colours and pulse
Do you have any rom based on CyanogenMod,like GingerDx?
In that case, you should go to:
Settings->Cyanogenmod->Interface->LED notifications->Unconfigured
Choose the application whose LED you want to change (messaging or phone calls or whatever), then choose Force LED ON on LED Mode, and then choose the colour.

Hi, I've just got the s3 mini and it looks as if it has no notification leds.
So there is no visible way of knowing things unless you open your phone display.
Is this correct, my phone isn't broken is it?
If this is the case the its lacking a very fundamental feature
man, i hope that is not true..i heard rumors.
SIII mini has no led.
notification led
It's true. The galaxy s III mini doesn't have a notification LED. I've got this phone since 10 days now.
i can confirm too, by the way it's a great phone !
it has no LED but the manual explains how to turn it on and off (manual says go to settings => display => notification LEDs).
the only thing is that there is no such menu in the settings of the device, which is weird to say the least...
let's hope an system update or custom rom will correct that.

I don't see anything on my device and the german manual says nothing about a notification LED. We also tested it with a app called "blink", the galaxy s III shows the LED, the galaxy s III mini doesn't...

No, it does not have a notification LED and there's no entry for it in the Settings -> Display menu.
You've got your manuals mixed up, since in mine no such thing is mentioned.
I'm using noLED app, which has a bunch of options and notifies me.

i'm speaking about official manual app that is in the app list. it is the same for everyone.
Oh, I didn't even open that... Yeah, seems to be a problem with it, since it presents a manual for the options present on the S III.
If you want the manual for the S III Mini, then you can download it here.
would this mean that samsung has issued a device with a manual and that this manual is about another device than the one it is supposed to serve?
So the consensus now is that it does not have a physical notification led or that it is disabled in software or something?

Definitely no LED notification light on S3 mini. You do have vibrate on pick up setting for notifications.
Hm, real shame, I was planning to get this phone as it looks to be the top android performer with 4" display (optionally xperia p, but that phone is hard to spot in my country + non-removable, weak battery & no memory card). How can something like this be omitted on today's phones?!
Dont worry about the led nottifications.. soon as the developer comunity expands im sure someone will relese a kernel with led notifications on the soft keys.(like the original sgs)
Пратено со Tapatalk 2 од мојот SGSIII mini
Did anyone hear about such soft-keys notifications? It would be really nice if the phone had this kind of visual notifications.
If you go to the s3mini original android development section, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153107, you can flash this kernel by neldar and follow instructions on first post. I can confirm that notification lights are working...

I don't know about the Active, but on the regular S4 the LED light from the "hold volume up button" is noticeably dimmer than when you activate it with apps. I'm using the Notification Toggle app from the Play Store to put the LED toggle in the notification panel. It's nearly as convenient as using the volume button and it's brighter without any risk of accidental activation in your pocket.

Yea it does have that option, just not the volume up with the screen off. You have to hold the brightness slider icon in the notification panel to activate it.
Not to be a bother, but I notice it works on some peoples phones and not others. Is there a special thing that needs to be done to get the vol-up for torch working? I know how to get to the secret settings, and they're set for me. It doesn't light up for me . Any advice?

I'm running stock rooted with Xposed and Nottach Xposed
Use power toggles from playstore. The best

NottachXposed has both of those options. The volume up function is in the Lockscreen settings. You actually don't need Nottach to access it. It's just a convenient shortcut.

I think you need a deodexed ROM. Didn't work for me until I flashed the Mint Jelly ROM (which I recommend :good.

Alright, i'll give that a try. Not opposed to flashing roms, especially if they remove all this Samsung + ATT bloatware Thanks for your help.
Just an update.
I'm not sure if it was having a deodex rom, or just simply being on Android 4.2.2 (Might be the case). But my light is working now with screen off!
EDIT:
One more thing. Enabling this setting will create a wakelock that'll keep your phone at the lowest mhz you set it to instead of letting it go into deep sleep. It's a nice setting, but at the battery cost... it's something that isn't good enough for me yet. I have a profile setup in tasker for TelsaLED on with a shake on the locked homescreen to try my best and mimic this functionality (I was looking for something that starts up at boot, and flips the LED on from lockscreen). I know there's another flashlight that does this as well, but I ran into the problem of it not booting on startup, where as I use Tasker for other functionality so it starts up 100% of the time. It's not 100% since the LED takes a little to flip on... but it's better than having to unlock.
JUST an FYI to save people the feeling of underwhelming when it starts sapping your battery mercilessly!

thats absolutly not true, i use the feature on nottachs xposed app and my phone goes into DEEP SLEEP using ktz kernel,and there is another mod that u can use called 3 minit but you need framework but that has torch when the lock screen is on by pressing the home button,but i found i would have the light on by accident ,idk how but it would jsut be on with that mod.
3 minit work pretty well you can set it to long press home
Try flashlight led genius from playstore , no root need , you shake it when your on the lockscreen,awesome app

I'm going to stick with what I think then. After I flip on the light.. it never goes back into deep sleep. Try it yourself. I'll take a look at 3 minit
FYI the wakelock it made was PhoneWindowManager.mTorchlightWakeLock
This is a feature in CM10.1. You can add it under lock screen options for long press home button. Absolutely love it.

I think your Android version needs to be 4.2.2 to do the torchlight thing through Nova. I could be wrong though.
Ok another update on this.
Since djmouse wasnt getting any sort of wakelock, I decided to try again getting it working. I enabled it through xposed instead of the nova shortcut.... and for some reason it's letting me go to deep sleep now! ... I also flashed crossbreeder... so that might be the savior. Not sure, but happy to report the wakelock seems to be lifted. I'll report back after a few days if it stays that way.
THanks djmouse for challenging me to try it again!
Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.

So, when I first got the phone and was running the stable Chinese ROM, I could use an app called "Light Manager Pro" to control the color of a notification LED for any particular app.
Now, I've flashed the unofficial global ROM, and it seems that app no longer can control my notification light. I've also tried "Light Flow," and if anything, it makes it worse (the LED doesn't come on at all when using that app).
The app has notification access, and it is an exception to MIUI battery saver (meaning it should run in the background all the time). Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Did you try the trick where you bring up the running apps/task manager and swipe down and select lock? (Presumably to keep it locked in memory)

This doesn't do anything. Something about how the app wants to control the LED is not how the phone wants the LED to be controlled (as an added note, things like "Flash Rate," have absolutely no effect on the LED when it does light up).
Anyone got it to work yet?

Use TIBU to make it a system app...only thing I can think to try. That's the only way I could get TeslaUnread to stay open.
I also like to configure the LED color but the Mi Mix led is so faint that I don't even bother.
Anybody manage to solve this yet. I haven't, and it's been quite a long time.
actually the LED light control app is not run on miui but it works well on samsung or some of huawei phone
