Light Flow Customizes Android's LED Notifications, No Root Required

Light Flow Customizes Android's LED Notifications, No Root Required


Android: Interpreting the flashes emitted by your Android smartphone's LED can be difficult, especially when they're all the same color. Light Flow gives you control, so you can adjust the colors and patterns for individual apps.


Light Flow has been around for awhile, but shockingly we've never covered it before. With it, you can customize the color, duration, and rate of LED notifications for different apps. If you receive multiple notifications (like an email, an SMS, and notifications from Facebook and Twitter), it'll cycle through the color for each, so you're aware of all four notifications—not just the latest one. There's a free version of the app available, but if you don't mind parting with $2.49, the paid version cycles through colors faster—every 2.5 seconds rather than every 20.


It's not guaranteed to work with every phone on the market, but it's definitely worth taking the free version for a test drive to see if it works for you. It seems to have a better handset compatibility rate than previously mentioned LEDBlinker and the number of supported apps is seriously impressive—over 600 in the full version—and there are slightly more advanced options such as setting vibration patterns for different notifications.
