Controlling Notification LED - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Nothing recent to research for our N3 so I wanted to hear from the peeps that are controlling their Notification LED using apps such as "Light Flow", etc.
I downloaded Light Flow Lite and do not want to buy their paid version until I listened to the opinion of my peers who own the same device.
Anyone out there using apps to control their LED, and which apps do you like/hate?

Wow, do you guys know how many colors our LEDs are capable of making?
Android is famous for its adjustability, and yet no one wants to take control of their notification LED?
Makes no sense to me, I don't get it.

Try posting in the "theme's and apps" section for more responses. Dont double post though! Click the caution triangle at the top right of your original post and ask to move this for you.

You mean "more" than zero - lol
That certainly makes sense to me bro, but in the past, similar threads were move back here because I was "asking a question".
Regardless, over 100 views and no one else has any motivation to control color of notifications, why not?
So far, just with the 1st free app I have tried, it's light years better than just the plain blue for everything..
sms flashes green
e-mail flashes cyan
missed call orange
calander reminder purple
low battery red
incoming call blue
So if we move this thread, will I get 200 views not interested, (instead of only 100 - lol)

I could care less about my led color because I have a galaxy gear. But if I didn't, I'd be checkin out some led apps!
I posted in here recommending to move your thread because I did see you had views and no comments. I couldn't leave ya hanging. Maybe wait a few days and let your post marinate here. Then ask to move it so it can get a couple hundred more views without comments in that section too! Lol

The only thing I would care about is being able to set different colors for different contacts.
On my GPro I had red for my (ex) girl, yellow for my mom, green for my closest friend, etc.

I'm liking is, but was hoping to get feed back from peeps who have tried other apps, or the paid version.
Have you tried any of these, and what do you think of them.
(also, thanks for the reply and for taking the time to supply the link).

Sorry I read you post last week and didn't remember you had written that you have tried lightflow. ?

I use light manager and has got a bunch of settings and you can add apps and set colors for app notifications.

[App] Inverted Gmail Updated 12-29-10

This is a modded version of the Nexus S Gmail app that was originally here posted by idkwhothatis123.
In this version the message window is also black with white text. It also has some sweet changes to check boxes, mini message headers, and menu icons done by dreamsforgotten that give it a nice clean look.
It runs great on my Epic on a stock deodexed DK-28, and it also runs well on my wife's Droid1.
Just flash the zip through CWM.

I changed the "read" message color to a dark grey. Quoted text is grey instead of purple so it's a lot easier to read.
Hope you guys like it!
Here it is. You guys are awesome, I'm gonna try it now and if it works i'm going to include in the update to Mysterious Beast.

Now we need to start on an inverted Gtalk. I may start working with it tonight.
Now the g-talk is something I ben wanting .. Wish it had color options with each friend.. that'll be nice

I was thinking about that too. I think that would be a tough one to pull off though.
Thanks! The best one out there. Would be even better if you could implement the Show images always on mod to this.
Just an idea to throw out there -- anyone else feel like the "marked Read" email should be black and the Unread should be Grey (since the Black is the base and the grey is the highlight.. in my mind)?
Thx again for posting this awesomeness.
I agree with ya. I was looking at it last night and that shade of grey is just too light for my taste. After I get xmas over with I'm going to get to work on it.
I'm thinking a dark charcoal grey for "read" and black for "unread". Or switch them all together. Look for a change in a couple days.
I'll look into the show images mod too. I'm not familiar with it but look at it.
I'm excited to see you got the email view to show black also!
You are amazing! Thank you!
This is great my only issue is with the Links like url's and e-mail addresses are very hard to read as the color is a dark blue, anyway to change this? maybe a lighter blue or grey?

I agree %100. I'm going to get to work on it as soon as th crazyness of the holidays are over.
The problem with the color for links is that the framework that dictates those colors. Changing the framework will change it "globally" and would make it look goofy in other apps. I'm going to play with it a bit and see if I can do something with it in the app alone though.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to do it, by all means pm me and I'll be happy to try it!
I am definitely going to change quoted text color, the "read" messages color, and few other things.

That sounds like an error message that launcher pro gives when shortcut is there, but no application. Make sure the zip was completely downloaded, and that the flash didn't give u an error afterwards.

Trackball Notifications

Is there a way to customize trackball notifications, for instance: if x person call me, then the color it shows is green and so son?
Thanks in advance
Light flow can do a lot of colors for a lot of apps. But not for calls from different people.... yet. It updates pretty regularly.
I believe SMS Popup can handle different colors for different people...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
You can't change the LED for incoming calls, as the screen has to be off for the colour to be changed (maybe TrackBall alert can do it, but that needs certain framework).

I'd love to change light colors depending on the app.
Light Flow Free
You should definitely get Light Flow; I have it and love it.
The pro version has more features and IMO is worth the price.

[GO SMS PRO] Interest Theme

Hello everyone,
Here is my latest work, a theme for Go Sms Pro called Interest. It is still a work in progress and if this works out well I may end up making more.
Here is the link to the paid market download (there appears to be a problem with play store device compatibility as it shows up as compatible with the evo 3d in the developer console but it says incompatible when i log in to playstore and view the description....)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5qYi5nb3Ntcy5wY3RoZW1lLkludGVyZXN0Il0..
But for my very dear xda peeps I will give it for free! (Click Here!)
If you like what I do consider buying the market version! Suggest it to your friends if you like it!
Shameless Bump 1!
Looks pretty nice, imo.
Maybe make a second one, with the only mod being a white background, the white text at the conversation list isn't easy to read with the multi-color stripes.

Would you be able to change the bubble color in the conversion to the peach color (that's on the top right hand corner) and the ICS blue color?

[THEME]Full Theme Red/Blue/BrownGold Completely revamped 08/18/2015

This will work on any rom except AOSP and CM12. I'm posting this now so you can get rid of that stock UI, I'm doing about 3 more apk's then a much more formal posting will be put up.
I also themed the HTC 9 camera that is available, the M9 has many more features, and takes much better pics than the Google camera. A seperate link will be posted below. I did not create the Zip,and i take no credit for it's creation, I just themed it. I don't want donations, but if you can HIT THE THANKS BUTTON I would really appreciate it.
If you allow app updates for any of the themed apk's it will untheme that apk, so uninstall updates for that particular app and the theme will return, i've done lot's of app updates, and hardly ever do I notice a difference in the app.
I completely revamped this on July 26. Colors are better blended, and took out some of the Gold, and removed some red. Hope you try it out, you will be impressed Also, make sure that your main Google app is updated or it will FC after flash
Themed M9 Camera.
Framework
Contacts
Calculator
System UI
Dialer
Settings
Calendar.
Flash in recovery, reboot and enjoy.
Download Link for M9 Camera: http://d-h.st/8BRf
Link for both odex and deodex: http://d-h.st/z1IC
More APK's and a more formal post to come in a couple days. Attention to detail was a constant in making this, and it looks great on the phone. Hope you enjoy.

This will liven up your phone considerably
will you make other themes?
none
Eventually yes, this one took almost 3 weeks so I need to recover a bit before I start another one. I just got calendar done and it looks awesome, I will post that tonight or tommorow morning

What does me not liking your theme have to do with my theme making ability (or lack thereof)? Next you'll tell me that I can't say "Nickelback sucks" because I can't play guitar.

I must agree with Ryjabo here. This is just constructive criticism coming from another graphical designer, but the color scheme is horrendous.
I do see the work you put in and everything you have themed and you have amazing potential to create amazing themes, just work on the color scheme to make it something elegant. This is an elegant device, the theming should represent and complement that designing style.
Look at other themes posted both on here and the Play Store to get some coloring ideas. Don't copy those themes, just use them as a base for your own creation.

protip 1: avoid mixing blue and red [emoji14]
and avoid mustard color altogether
Thanks for sharing though, you have potential as a themer and with enough practice (and less contrasts in your color schemes) you could end up making some nice looking work [emoji106]
Musicman may not be a professional designer, but as graphic artists.... We should lend suggestions or constructive criticism to help him as he makes his way into the material based GPE rather then just calling it ugly. As @DarK_DemoN stated he has potential he knows how to use VTS and work his way through the xml, its just getting the color scheme down.

Everything is so subjective when trying to determine what colors to use, what 5 people hate, 5 more people may really like so in a way picking out the proper colors is tough. If people took the time to flash it they may like it, a few screenshots can't paint the whole picture.
I don't mind at all constructive criticism, but to bark out "it's ugly" I must admit set me off a bit. LP was very hard to theme, and a great deal of time was put into that and I realize not everyone is going to like it.
Thank you for the input

Sound slike it's coming in the future but you can do this through Always On Edge. There's an option for the pixels around the led for a colored ring.
It works. However, the dev was a real Dbag when I called him out for hiding the true app purchase price inside of one of the "Watch ad" buttons needed to save the options to test this thing out.
Anyway, it's not a bad alternative. I don't like that it makes you do an extra step (i.e. thumb print twice), but it is cool enough for now.
Will give this a go, thanks pal

Thanks for this! I don't like the built in lock screen and like over a hundred options you have to choose from and add etc.... However it's so promising though as we now definitely know samsung has access to modify and set this as an option as said in the samsung forum I posted! Can't wait if samsung pushes this in the next update! :fingers-crossed:

NoLED https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730692 might work, but it didn't work well on my pixel on pie, worked fine on Oreo on my Tab S4.
They use the screen as a notification and have dots or icons that move around to keep screen burn in at bay. Doesn't work so well on LCD screens but nice on OLEDs with minimal battery use.
