operating room Android system provides the gadget owner with ample opportunities and convenience thanks to settings for ringtones, icons, etc. However, not everyone knows , that you can control the built-in LED lights. Thanks to them, each notification will be unique without any sound notification.
Features of the built-in LED in Android smartphones
A small flashlight (LED indicator) is usually located on the top front of the smartphone. Depending on what kind of notification was received (phone call, SMS message, email, low battery message, news alert, calendar reminder, all sorts of Viber signals , Twitter, WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebooketc.), changing the color of the configured indicator allows you to visually determine its source. Moreover, each type of notification can have a personal color.
Smart phones are either endowed with extensive options for controlling the LED indicator, or are limited to turning it on and off. In the second case, installation of a supporting application is required.
How to manage color
Color management apps like others third party applications ForAndroid, it is recommended to download fromGoogle Play Store. We offer two options.
Light Manager
This is absolutely free application, which can only bother the user advertising banners. To get rid of them, you need to update the utility to the paid version and.
First As a matter of fact, Light Manager needs to provide access to all notifications. The application itself will prompt you to do this. Next you need to do this step by step:
- go to “Settings”;
- select the “Ringtones and notifications” tab;
- select the “Access to notifications” tab;
- check the box next to Light Manager.
Settings are organized into categories that allow you to customize colors and flashing patterns. If you don't see a color next to an app, it's not configured and is the default. Activation, color change and deactivation of notifications occur as a result of pressing.
Light Flow P ro
This application works similar to to the previous one. It provides the option to make notifications cyclic or show priority. Supports up to 6 hundred instruments, but a lightweight demon paid version(Light Flow Lite) is able to change the color of the LEDs only for the most important functions. The utility requests permission to access applications, which does not suit all users.
In contrast from "Manager" there are means of manipulating sound and vibration. Not compatible with all devices. The developer gives the example of NTS smartphones, which support only three colors and therefore their functionality is limited. Gadgets from other brands can also surprise you. The LEDs may not flash or stay on all the time. If you encounter problems with the interaction between the application and the device, it is recommended to find “Direct mode” in the settings. When activated, it controls the LED flashlight.
After granting access permission, you need to open “Notification” on the main screen of the application. It will contain a list of events, the display of which can be configured at your discretion. After selecting the type of setting, notifications will be divided into tabs. You can set your own colors.
Light notifications are not the most important, but still useful feature for devices withAndroid. They effectively help to recognize the type of notification. Even if the smartphone is in standby mode and with the sound turned off, the user will be able to understand its signals and respond.

Owners Xiaomi phones often want to make their smartphone unique, beautiful or more convenient. To do this, change the colors of LEDs, fonts, keyboards, clocks and much more.
IN modern smartphones Xiaomi uses the MIUI shell to change only the color of the keyboard and indicator; to manipulate any other objects, you need to either change the theme or install third-party applications.
Changing the color of the LED indicator on Xiaomi
Almost all Xiaomi smartphones have an LED indicator, which is part of the notification system, allowing you to know that a message has arrived without unlocking the device.
To change the indicator, go to general "Settings", find the item there "Advanced settings" and enter it.
We are looking for an item "Indicator light" and we enter it. 
We have three options for the indicator light for: notifications, calls and messages. For each event, choose the color that seems appropriate. Many applications, such as Telegram or Viber, independently change the color of the indicator if it displays their notifications. Telegram glows blue, and Viber glows purple. 
How to change the color of the clock widget on a Xiaomi smartphone
In the recent past, in MIUI8 and older firmware, it was possible to install a third-party clock widget that had different settings. In new Xiaomi phones, you can change the color of the clock by changing the theme.
All themes that I created Xiaomi company, support the clever function of adapting the clock display, the phone analyzes the predominant color on the wallpaper, if it is light, the clock automatically, without changing the design, changes to black, and if the wallpaper is dark, to white. 
The difficulty in changing the entire theme for the sake of a clock is that at the same time the icons, fonts and even icons located in the service line at the top of the screen will be changed.
I recommend choosing wallpaper that does not strain your eyes too much by being colorful or clumsy, so that it is in pastel shades, preferably dark shades. In this case standard theme design will automatically change the color of the clock to white, which will make it comfortable to read captions for icons located on the desktop in any external lighting.
Changing the color of the virtual keyboard on Xiaomi
The color of the keyboard on your smartphone changes only if the keyboard you are using supports changing themes.
I use the standard one Gboard, I consider it successful and functional. On another keyboard this is done in a similar way.
Go to general "Settings", then in "Advanced settings".
Now we need a point "Language and input".
We are looking for an item with an active keyboard, in my case it is "Gboard".
We are interested in the item "Themes".
Gboard has many pre-installed themes and wallpapers, and you can upload your own or download them from third-party resources. 
Android in its standard form looks poor. Yes, all the necessary functions seem to be there, but you still can’t turn on displaying battery percentage. There is a beautiful loading animation, but it is of no use. There was still no support for the topics. So what now - install another custom, the tomorrow night build of which will definitely fail? No, we will do everything with only root. Read on and learn how to change the Android interface.
PREPARATORY STEPS
To perform many of the tricks described in the article, you need root and a root that depends on it. In the standard version, it will work 100% correctly only in AOSP firmware, but even in them there may be glitches. Problems with Xposed modules can often arise in stock firmware with modifications from the manufacturer, but there is a special version of Xposed for them: for TouchWiz, for MIUI, for firmware based on Android 5.0+. HTC owners can install the official build, but S-OFF is almost always required.
Got root, installed Xposed? Then let's go.
1. CHANGE THE LOADING ANIMATION
The boot animation is stored in the /system/media/bootanimation.zip file. Inside there is a text document desc.txt, it indicates the frame rate, horizontal and vertical resolution, etc. There are also the images themselves (frames), which change with the frequency specified in desc.txt. The order and rules for playing animation from folders are also written in this file.
All you need to do is get the archive from the device using a file manager with root support, unpack and replace the images, not forgetting to first compress them to the desired resolution. Next, just pack the archive without compression and return it to its place. But, of course, it’s easier to take a ready-made archive. On the site hboot.co.uk there are plenty of them.
On the other hand, although the animation is interesting to look at, it makes no sense. But it can be useful to see which services are running. The simplest option is to install LiveBoot, which outputs logcat and dmesg, i.e. Android and Linux kernel messages.
2. ADD YOUR SOUNDS TO THE STANDARD SET
Sounds can be dropped into one of the folders in /system/media/audio. alarms - alarm ringtones;
notifications - sounds for notifications;
ringtones - ringtones;
ui - system sounds, such as low battery, camera focusing, selection of interface elements. Some applications may access them by default, so you can replace them with your own.
Why put ringtones in the system partition? Firstly, the files there are able to withstand a general reset to factory settings; secondly, sounds from special folders can be set to a signal (alarm sound, call, SMS receipt) in almost any application.
3. CHANGE FONTS
I very, very doubt the usefulness of these actions, because the standard Android font is almost perfect. But the taste and color...
You can use a special application to install fonts. For example, HiFont allows you to change fonts in Samsung firmware, HTC, Motorola, Lenovo, Huawei, Nokia X. And if there is root, then in all other devices. You can either use fonts already available in the application catalog or add your own.
But where to get them? There are three options:
- fonts taken from different firmware of Android devices can be found in the post on w3bsit3-dns.com;
- on w3bsit3-dns.com there is a good collection of user-created fonts in the next post;
- collection on XDA.
You can install fonts without using a special application. We take the .ttf files from the archive, throw them and replace them into /system/fonts/ (root is needed) and reboot the device.
4. CHANGE ICONS
Icons can be changed using special applications, for example Unicon - Icon Themer. After installation, you need to activate the application in the Xposed settings (it will notify you). Next, restart your smartphone and open the application. All that remains is to click on Download themes from Google Play and select an icon pack, install it and reboot your smartphone. But it is worth considering that the icons do not change in some launchers, for example Google Start.
5. ADDING THEMES SUPPORT
Before installing the theme, HKThemeManager will show the entire list of applications to which the theme will be applied. Uncheck the boxes that are not needed, click on “Apply Theme” and reboot the device.
There is also an alternative option for installing themes - the Layers Manager application. It works in any firmware on Android 5.0+ thanks to the introduction of the RRO resource reassignment mechanism. The application's database of topics is huge and is located on Play Market. To view it, just type Layers Theme in the search.
Keep in mind that the application does not work on firmware based on CyanogenMod: the local engine and RRO conflict.
6. CONVERT ANDROID 5.X+ INTO ANDROID N
The Android N-ify module will help us with this. After installation, the following features from Android N will appear:
- The design of the notification panel will noticeably change. The quick settings panel will appear;
- Interesting inscriptions will appear in the settings under some items.
- For example, under Wi-Fi the name of the current access point will be written, under the “Battery” item - the remaining operating time and battery charge in percentage;
- the Easter egg will change in the “About phone” menu;
- You will quickly switch between the two most recently launched applications by double-clicking the “Recent” button.
Android N-ify also has useful settings through which you can not only disable it, but also configure individual changes made.
7. IMPROVING THE STATUS BAR
For me, the status bar in stock Android is the most unfinished thing. Luckily, Xposed can be used to change a lot of things and make it more convenient.
8. Changing the battery indicator
Battery Home Icon installs a battery indicator instead of the Home button. Moreover, this indicator is highly customizable: you can change colors, enable/disable the display of percentages, charging animation, and so on.
XbatteryThemer - customize the battery icon. There are many different themes, both ordinary and very extraordinary.
9. Display the speed of the Internet connection
Network Speed Indicator - network speed indicator. Can show the speed of mobile networks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet. Everything is customizable - from units of measurement and speed threshold to color and font size. You can also add the amount of internet traffic used to the status bar using DataUsage. The data shown is the same as in the “Data transfer” settings section.
10. Display the actual signal level
Sometimes you need to know how well the Internet is received in different parts of the room, how the position of the smartphone affects the signal reception level, or you simply need to compare the signal reception level of your smartphone and other models. NetStrength will help with this. The module can display the cellular network signal level in decibels per milliwatt (dBm or dBm). This unit of measurement has a negative value, and the closer it is to zero, the better the reception. You can also enable the display of ASU (Arbitrary Strength Unit - signal-to-noise ratio in the pilot channel). Calculated using the formula ASU = (dBm + 113)/2.
By the way, the module can show the Wi-Fi reception level in dBm, Mbps (Mbit/s - megabits per second) and percentage.
11. Monitor the download process
Statusbar Download Progress is one of the most useful Xposed modules. It displays the download process from the Play Market or a file from the Internet in the form of a thin white bar above the status bar. I immediately recommend activating “God Mode”, thanks to which progress will be displayed for any applications that have a progress bar. In the settings you can set the display above the status bar or below the line.
Most new smartphones and tablets have built-in led lights, which report new notifications.
Only a few people know that the color can be changed and set unique for each notification. Depending on the manufacturer, your Android phone may be equipped with options to control the LEDs.
In most cases, they allow you to do only basic management - disable or enable and configure basic parameters.
Luckily, there are several other ways to control LEDs, with the help of enthusiast apps.
By the way, there is another super-magic way to very effectively customize the color of the notification indicator on your phone -
In this guide, I will provide you with two options, or rather two applications - decide for yourself which one to choose.
Method No. 1 - using the Light Flow Lite program
Light Flow Lite is a free version of one of the most popular LED control applications.
IN free version, you can change the LED color for your phone's most important functions, while the paid version supports up to 600 different tools.
After launching the application, a message about Light Flow permission will appear. You must allow the app to read your notifications - click Yes.
After returning to the main app screen, open to Notifications. There you will see a list of different events and applications that display the notification.
In the free version you can change the color of the LEDs, among other things:
- missed calls;
- incoming calls;
- unread SMS and MMS;
- Hangout notifications;
- calendar reminders"
- Email;
- low battery level.
After selecting the setting type, the notification will be divided into several tabs. You can enable/disable “Notification” and activate the screen backlight. There you will have several ready-made colors, as well as the ability to set your own color.
NOTE: Light Flow Lite may not work on all devices. If you have problems with this, it's worth taking a look at setting it up. There, find “Direct Mode”, which, when activated, takes over control of the LED. It's also a good idea to allow root privileges (superuser if you have them) to resolve compatibility issues.
Method number 2 - Light Manager
A little less popular app, but I think it can do a better job than the above (works great with Samsung).
Light Manager is first of all completely free and does not limit settings - you can change the color for each application and add any element to the list of unique colors.
Only you have to give permission to the app to read notifications. To do this, go to Settings > Security > Notification Access. On the next screen, select "Light Manager."
Now you can turn on the program and configure additional settings (for example, for automatic start when you turn on the phone).
Moving below you will find a list of different notifications and applications, and next to each of them a unique color (if you don’t see a color, it means that the default colors are used or not configured).
To change the color, simply touch the notification with your finger and set a different color. You can also turn off the notification completely by unchecking the checkbox in the appropriate place.
NOTE: If you have CyanogenMod, you don't need to install anything. The system has a built-in option that allows you to control colors and effects. Good luck.
