This is interesting, espicially if someone can get it to work in conjunction with active display
Agreed. I'm not loving Active Display either. Would love to switch it off and have this LED notify me instead. I also use Light Flow's repeating sounds feature in case I miss an SMS and I'm not looking at my phone.
I've got JMUT running some commands now to see what might work while I wait to get hold of my Nexus 6 here in the UK

It's seeming like red, green and blue are all possible (blue and red are quite dim compared with green) and I'm not sure how to go about getting the led to flash, it'll probably be an always on type led, but all progress I wasn't expecting!

It looks like it has an RGB LED and a green one. They are both inside the top speaker.

Sorry I'm curious, you don't have the phone how do you know there's another led?
Base on the source code???

I love ambient display but I'll like a better notification for charging wirelessly.
Is it possible for a custom LED app to tell the difference between regular charging and wirelessly?
Anyone else get this to work? This is very interesting that they have an led there and no one has ever heard about it. I have been messing with light flow but can't get it to work. Not rooted yet though either.

So does anyone know if a custom rom came around if it would be able to utilize the LED or is it completely locked down, (like flashing speed and colors)
It's not locked down as lightflow can already use it (minus flash speeds)
ok it actually seems to work quite well after a bit of experimenting in the adb shell.
You'll need root but with that try the following:
Choose root mode
run every command as root and
direct mode
Make sure "su"/superuser has access granted for all requests
Then go into lightflow, notification settings and you should have a
"mixer" option. Enable that and you should then see options to set the
red, green and blue leds and also an option to set their brightness.
The brightness is has a 255 max value (0 being off) - (255 max brightness) and it should work.
The led won't flash but you can mix them together to get different colors. Technically you don't need to use the mixer but there's more control with it from what I remember.
First off a HUGE THANK YOU Andrew! For figuring this out and for your app. I purchased Light Flow for the Nexus 5 and I'm so happy it's now working on the Nexus 6. When they took the LED away on the Nexus S I lost some sleep and it was the same for the Nexus 6 but you have made my day!
I have found that the best setting is to set the "charging Brightness" to 0 to disable the bottom LED which is always green. Is there any way to control the bottom LED to reflect the color of the top LED?
