@8230 we dont have a trackball with led, but...

We have 4 buttons with a light led.

I wonder if someone out here, knows a way to make them blink when we have some warnings (as sms, unanswered calls...).

Props to someone that can find this out.

If you search in this forum, you will find a post about an app for alerting of an incoming SMS with flashing light. Not sure if it eventually worked or available to download.

was thinking in something more generic, as HTC Magic...has the blinking led to any notification.

The first release worked, but wasn't 100% reliable.

the lights flash when the phone is updating so there must be a way to do it :(

I would totaalllllllly support this idea, and donate for proper implementation.

I understood from the old thread, that there is only one LED in the pulse, so its either

illumuniation the whole lower part (green and red and menu and back) or nothing.

Well to be honest I rather have that whole part lit when i have sms/email than nothing.

I dont wear my phone in my pocket whole day long.

Just a couple of days after this new tread was started I noticed this little thing:

It's an applications developed for Samsung galaxy S which also doesn't have a LED. It makes a little red pixel appear when a notification is received. It works with the pulse!

Only problem: It turns on the entire screen = consuming power.... But the general idea is good and I think some coder should be able to Mod it to work with the LED's in the pulse since they light too!!

Hi all.

I love this idea. I already used HTC Hero and the notification led on trackball is very useful... If this feature can be applied on buttons illumination will be wonderful.

I tried NoLED application and doesn't work on my Huawei U8230 @ FLB, maybe because it was designed to run on LED screen.

Does anyone make some step in its development?

I think by using a customised lights library it should be possible to get the button lights work as notification. It should be as simple as changing the device names in the aosp lights library. Watch the froyo dev discussion for progress.

I didn't realise how good notification lights were until I got the X10. If I went back to using the Pulse as my main phone that would probably be the one thing I would miss most.

It has an amoled screen, so it wouldn't consume much more power since only that pixel consumes power! As far as I know the pulse doesn't! :P
