Default LED Notifications

The search is on for an App that does LED notifications. I'll try and keep this thread updated as the search continues.


Wish List:

- no LED on while charging (so it can be used for notifications)
- Red Blink for missed call
- Blue Blink for new text
- Green blink for new email


Can't be hard. This was the most amazing thing ever for my Blackberry. There's a video on youtube, i'm not yet "allowed to post links" so here goes...

Colored trackball was single handedly my FAVORITE feature on my Blackberry, my Sidekick and my NexusOne.

You would think they would make the notification light a BIT easier to control.... But you had to root the Nexus One just to be able to control them.

If people are making apps to mimic notification LEDs for the other Galaxies, I think its only a matter of time until a dev makes a nice LED notification app.

When the battery has charged fully (which seems to be 95% ).

So has anything been found allowing customizable led notifications? I'm running Nebula 1.0.7 and I'm not sure if it's just the rom, DK28, or whatever that does not seem to have an led notification setting. Unless I'm just that incompetent to not be able to find it... I just checked my brother's stock Epic, and the led notifications are in the sound/display settings but it's not on my phone.

I was having a hard time getting any led notifications with anything but the stock sms app. I had to open the custom color option in handcent to get my led to blink. Sadly I can't get handcent, go sms, or sms popup to give me a blue led no matter what I do. Also, I used the led test menu by using the dialer code and I can't get a green led. I'm assuming the epic is without one, but I can get purple to come up.

Samsung only put a blue and red led, which significantly limits our led colors (red, blue or purple)

I DO NOT answer technical question via PM.

I tried running handcent to get an led notification for my text messages, but I couldn't get anything, even when I used simply red at normal blinking speed. Any suggestions of what to do?
