[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] KDB223:
Hey people!

UPDATE: Now supports Droid MAXX, Droid Ultra and possibly more Motorola devices

Go ahead and give it a try!

To the world, I proudly present my first ever Android app

LED Control​

•

So what does it do?

Lets the user select kernel specific "charging triggers" for the device's LED which will make it light up when plugged in depending on the specific "charging triggers"​

•

Why this app?

Well all of these triggers can be set from the command line, but I found it to be very cumbersome and tedious. Motivated by my laziness, I created this app. Although it was intended for the Moto G, I discovered that it would also work on Moto X, E and Nexus 6 too, theoretically on any device which has a "charging" LED.​

•

Features:

Clean and simple UI (I have tried my best to make it Material Design compliant)

Brightness Slider: Control your 'charging' LED's brightness while charging, if your device supports it. Currently works only on Moto X and Nexus 6.

Set On Boot [PRO only] : Automatically sets the last chosen trigger on a reboot, since the values are reset each time the kernel restarts. Available in Pro version only.

Available triggers: (You may not see all in your device)

While Charging

While Charging through Adapter

Battery Full

While Charging or Battery Full

While Charging (Blnking) or Battery Full

While connected to USB

When Display is on

On Internal Storage I/O Activity

On External Storage I/O Activity

When flashlight (rear LED) is on NEW

When camera flash (rear LED) is on NEW

When Bluetooth is enabled NEW

Always on NEW

* ROOT ACCESS IS REQUIRED *​

•

Instructions:

Grant Root access on first run

Enable the Master Switch

Select a trigger and optionally choose brightness.

Plug in your charger and see the magic

:D

There are different triggers for different devices, so try experimenting :)

•

Screenshots:

(from Pro Version) (Screenshots are outdated; will update soon)

NOTE:

This will 'enable' the hidden LED on your Moto X/Nexus 6. This app cannot set it to be used for notifications; it can only use it as a charging indicator.

The Brightness slider will not work on devices where there's a kernel limitation on setting the brightness- specifically the Moto G and Moto E.

Moto G and Moto X in this whole post refer to 2013 models only, I have not tested on 2014 models.

The app is tested and confirmed working on Nexus 6, Moto G, E, X and Droid Ultra/MAXX. However, it may also work on a Motorola phone other than the above, so give it a try, can't hurt

P.S: Since I'm utterly new to Android/Java programming this app took me several hours spanned over several weeks to build. But it was an awesome experience and I had a heck of a time coding it. :good:

I look forward to making more apps in 2015.​

Reporting Compatibility:

If this app works on your device, and its not among the ones mentioned above, please reply to this thread with your device's details or send me a PM.

•

Source:

This app is open source too! Grab it on Github here. Feel free to take a look and suggest fixes to imperfections, if any.

•

WARNING

This app has the potential of blocking your notification LED if you use a Moto G/ Moto E (a separate LED blinks just beside the dedicated charging LED but you might not notice it).

Please be aware that I (KDB223), nor XDA nor anyone but you yourself are responsible for the consequences of you missing an important notification due to this app.​
