Light from LED flash for SMS notification

[hotshot646]

Hey everyone, I browsed through most of the threads related to the HTC HD2 and could not find anything on this. What I was thinking was since the HD2 has a real nice dual LED flash why not use it to give us a notification when we receive a text message or a missed call.
Basically the function would be the same as the LED notification cab that flashes the 5 hard buttons on the HD2 but instead route it so that the dual LEDs on the back flash.
I know many of you will say that will use a lot of battery life but I think it might be very useful especially at night in a bar or club where you cant hear crap but a flashing light might get your attention. Perhaps have a way to toggle it on only in certain situations for example off in the day at work and on at night. That might save some battery.
Let me know what everyone thinks and maybe we could find a nice dev to help us out if enough people are interested in this.

When u r in a club, ur device is in your pants. You wont hear a ringing as well as u wont get attention by a flashlight, that shines within ur pants. Just take a look at the screen as often as u need or keep ur hand in the pocket by the device 2 feel it vibrate.

Sry, but that would b an useless app.

I think this would be useless too, which is why i would download it an use it straight away
Sounds a bit different and fun.

Hi anhphe076. For new email, you may wish to try changing "AvailableOptions"=dword: change to 0. It works for me.

Thanks a lot for the quick response and the extremely detail reg keys, thats why I love xda !!

And to "stefannemo" that wouldnt be that useless because I usually get a table in both a bar and a club and when I am sitting the phone in on the table right in front of me so I would definitely see the HD2 very bright LED flashing at me !

where's the cab?

 

[hotshot646]

reg keys seems to be useless

the reg keys are already exactly the same on my phone there is no change needed but the LED doesn't light up. I think that I was misunderstood in my request, when I said LED I meant the Dual LEDs of the camera flash and I believe the reg keys and mentioned cab are for the 5 hard keys of the phone (call button, home, windows, back, and end call button) but this is not what I am looking for.

I have included a picture so that all confusion is cleared up.

Although your request in my opinion seems a bit pointless, it also seems that people are offering solutions for something you didnt ask about.

You want the Dual LED flash on the back of the phone dont you?

 

[DTNT]

I also wanted to post same question, can anybody do soft for this (to set up camera flash light as notoficators)??? Would be useful when you are in the meeting and faced town your device and turn to silent mode!

 

[DTNT]

Nobody knows??? I can't believe!!!

 

[chteh2008]

i need this, thanks a lot...

 

[Dac-os]

Hi

Is there any solution?

 

[PsyKen]

I like the sound of this idea too!

If possible could the 2 flash LEDs light / flash / alternate when a set alarm goes off too?

Another thought, since the last ROM update I did, the flash LED's do not light up on camera mode until I press the shutter button. It used to light up constantly if I set the flash to ON. Is there a way to put it back to how it was?

Ken

For me doesn't work Help please

 

[kank_fraud]

Well changing "AvailableOptions" to 15 didn't work for me.
I changed "Duration" to dword value = 15 and Options to dword value to 4.
Then the red light that lights up for missed call, lights up for sms notification also.
I have green for network, red for miss call, blue for bluetooth, violet for gps, red for charging.
