I might be wrong, but i think I had this feature on my very first Android phone (with Cyanogenmod, not with stock OS).

[–] stevestevesteve@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Tangential, but I remember the days of RGB notification LEDs so fondly too

[–] cron@feddit.org 15 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, that was great. I remember that my notification led used different colors for different apps, e.g. a missed call would have a different color than an unread message.

And you could vary the speed of pulsing for different notifications too. So flashing fast could be close contacts, slow flashing could be sms, constant light could be missed call etc.

Different colors for different persons too.

Sony phones still have a notification LED. And a headphone jack, and no notch. And pretty recent models also have official LineageOS support.

I've been doing this with Flashlight Tiramisu for years. Even replaced the quick settings button with one that opens that app instead of I long press it. Good that it's baking into the OS though. Mostly mentioning for anyone who doesn't want to wait.

Not to praise samsung or anything, but OneUI could already do this for the past year...

multiple android skins could do it for years and years, oneui included

[–] clmbmb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 days ago

I had Samsungs for a very long time.. I remember being able to increase/decrease the flashlight level on my S7.

Any way to remove the GPS dot? It is there all the time. Had the same crap on ~~MIUI~~ HyperOS and it drove me mad. Now it is back.

God this stuff drives me crazy. It's my damn device. Let mechoose what's important.
