Is there an app or mod that will make the notification light blink for more than 5 min? Or does installing a rom fix that?

I have edited the /system/customize/ACC/default.xml file before to disable the 5 minute timeout. I believe you change the value of NMS_feature_led_flash_timeout from 5 to 0. Try it and let us know how it works.

Ok thanks, it won't let me do it right now and I'm sure it's because I'm not rooted yet. I'll root and let you know

I've been looking for the answer to this since I bought this phone. Shortly after it was released. Asked and searched but never got or found an answer. Tried this and it worked. Thanks a bunch. :good: :)

Which file manager did you use? I'm trying to do it but I'm either getting an error or permission denied

Root Explorer. Have to set it to R/W before doing the edit. It may be that the system is mounted as read only in the app you're using. You may have to change it in the settings of the app you're using. In Root Explorer, there's a small button. Upper right side of the screen while viewing the folders. If the system is mounted R/O, it'll say "mount R/W". Press on it and then do the edit.

You do have to be rooted for it to work though.

Ok I just did it and it made a back up xml file, just delete the original and it should work I assume?

No need to delete anything. You can delete the backup if you want though. It's up to you.

Are you rooted? If so, check your superuser app to see if Root Explorer has root permissions. Also, if it's still set to 5 when you reboot, is the backup file there or not? If not, it sounds like a root problem of some sort to me.

Yes. But, you need to click on that button that says mount r/w before you do the edit. If you do that and it still doesn't work, something isn't right with your root.

Are you permanently rooted or are you using weak sauce for root? If the latter, the changes won't stick if you do a normal reboot. Rebooting is necessary for the setting to take effect. With weak sauce, you have to do a hot reboot for things to stick. Things will only stick if you do a hot reboot. A normal reboot will result in your change or changes reverting back to the original meaning you'll have to do it over again. It'll work as long as you only hot reboot. If you're using weak sauce for root, you really should consider getting permanently rooted.

I'm pretty sure I have it mounted correctly but I can't edit the file. What am I doing wrong. I'm using root Explorer and it's mounted r/w

I have that. I'm running CleanRom. Do we have to enable certain permissions? I've followed all these steps. I not new to rooting and tweaks like this but then again I'm no expert
