Notification LED? - ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers

Hi all.
I am very glad to see asus has kept a notification LED, as some other phones have dropped this option.
Question, is it multicoloured?, i have only seen it light up RED when charging in videos.

Nice, I see a green and a red there!
Oh my, I'm so tempted by this phone. The only thing I'm wondering about is whether I'd miss not having an AMOLED screen.... The rest of the specs are of high appeal!

not having an amoled screen is not a problem for me , as you can read in my signature

Great thats another tick

Can someone who owns this phone confirm what colours the LED supports and whether its possible to assign different colours to different apps? On my Samsung S5 I have blue set for email, green for Facebook messenger and white for WhatsApp among others. I want to know if its possible to replicate this configuration on the Zenfone 6. Thanks.

If it is an RGB LED use Light manager, im using on my S8+ and its excellent.

I used Light Flow on all my phones with notification LED. You can not only assign different colors to different apps, but also different colors/pulse patterns to different notifications of the same app, based on the notification text/subject. It's great.

I'm aware of the versatility of Light Flow / Light Manager however I want to know what colours the physical LED can support. Guess I'll have to wait until more forum members buy the phone as there don't seem to be many at the moment.

I had significant problems with lightflow, it used to be ok, then started crashing and playing up constantly, hence i switched to light manager, i suggest try both.

+1 for the main OP

Red, green and yellow.
no blue , didnt get it to work when I tried very quickly .
in Zenui there is no built-in support to adjust the LED color but maybe using Light flow or whatever apps it can be done.. although for me I am not interested at all in this so havent really tinkered with it.

There's no Always On Display, though, so a customisable LED becomes more useful. (I don't think there's any AOD, anyway?)

No AOD but you can have a portion of the screen light up when notifications come in.

Shame there is no blue. Makes me wonder what the cost difference would be between an RG and RGB LED. Still nice to have one and hope at least 3rd party app customisation will work. Odd they are one of the few who bothered to include it yet they didn't put any effort into making it more effective.

Yeah who knows but I think the real reason is they just kept the led they used before and found a way to include it in Zenfone 6, rather than swap it out.

Ah didn't know they had used the 2-colour previously. Makes sense if they've already got a previous deal planned out and spare stock etc.

There is another aspect: Bicolor LED could have the better visibility than tricolor one.

Changing the Basic Default Green Colours on menus

Hi,
I am about to embark upon changing the menu icons and screen touches that leave the green behind. Before I do I wanted to see if anyone had already successfully changed this FULLY rather than on just one screen and also one that works on the topaz. Any I have found so far either do not work or do a partial job.
Obviously if someone has done it already I would be keen to ive their work a try as this will be my first modding task and admittedly think I am starting at the deep end.
Also any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. If my work is succesful I will of course attempt to upload it for others to use
Thanks
CFC GUI is your friend, you can extract and replace all the graphics using it.
Which one(s) have you found that worked partially?
I have spent hours trawling through the various forums to find snippets from here and there, but in all honesty I'm a bit lost.
I found a 'T-Mobile' file which looks nice, but I have yet to try it on the device (because it hasn't arrived yet )
I will definitely be wanting to change away from green, so if/when you figure it out then please do let us (me) know how. Blue or grey is my target.
Here you go, green to blue with the attached CAB.
[UPDATE]
Changed all non-TF3D green highlighting/switches/buttons to blue also!
Due to CAB size, I've put it on my RapidShare account, no need to wait for download as it's been made a TrafficShare download.
Have left original version available for download for those who only want TF3D modified.

TD2 Green to Blue v2.cab (6114.0 KB, Unlimited views)
Enjoy!
Fantastic! Thanks hoosbude.
Sadly my device didn't arrive today as expected, so I'm still waiting. However, I shall look forward to trying your CAB and seeing what type of 'blue' you've provided.
Can you explain how you did it? What tool(s) did you use, and is it easy to do? Mostly I'm quite happy with TF3D, but I'd like to learn how to mess with the colours a little.
Yes, I have read and searched, and I got as far as finding Max TF3D Theme Maker - it looks a bit too much for what I need. Is this the way to go, or is there a simpler solution?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the cab. I will give it a try. admittedly I put the project on hold due to a cosmetic issue my phone picked up similar to this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522813
So my motivation to start any projects will be gone until I either get a replacement or repair. Hopefully your cab will do the trick

I used CFC GUI to extract the graphics then used Photoshop to change the hue, then used CFC GUI to re-implant the graphics to the original format then made the CAB. It took me about 40mins to do from start to finish (I did alter 47 files! also I made the boot picture blue too as a bonus!!)
Cab appears to work great only thing i have noticed that is not blended into the blue touch colour scheme is the communications tab of the settings menu which still has the green slide bars. If you fancy changing that it would be perfect.
To answer the question somebody asked earlier about other similar things i tried there is one made by lexirae (cant find the link now) that removes the touch coloured panel on the front screen with a transparent touch, There was also one made for the globe but think it was for a cooked rom as it made my opera browser inoperable and a hard reset was needed.

Yeah I noticed that also, the graphics for that were not shown by CFC GUI so that's why they were missed!
If anyone knows which files they are in I'd be much obliged (although I will google it later when I have the time)
Think the file you are looking for is 471b0a55_manilla
It is labelled in CFC-GUI under settings SWITCH_ON
If I am incorrect and you have already looked at this then apologies

You are indeed incorrect, I modified that one, it is used on the Alarm Clock page.

hoosbude, I worship you...
My TD2 arrived today and I'm loving it - for a device so seemingly similar to my Xperia, the Xperience is completely transformed...slick, quick and much more user friendly.
I love what you've done with the blue highlighting, which really sets everything off nicely (well, nearly everything - there's still the odd rogue greenie around such as the HTC task manager highlights, but I'll live with that).
Thanks so much, you don't know how much happier this makes me with my new toy.

yeah I haven't found that one, but if you change the theme from htc black then back to it you'll notice that normal windows highlights change from green to blue

Yes, thanks. I discovered that by accident (I installed my old Xperia black theme, but then needed to delete it so I changed to HTC black in preparation and noticed that this worked as well so I don't need my Xperia them at all).
Looking good.
Really a great job !!!
I install your cab and my phone is very nice now, thanxxxxxxxxxxxxx !!!
The last "green touch", in my phone is on the screen where it ask for sim code (just after booting)... The "enter" case is still green... Could you do anything for that ?
If needed I can send you a picture of the screen, but, for the moment, I haven't any camera in my desk do that !
is there a lightgray version of this?

Riddle me this (Tile Colors)

After over a year why does microsoft refuse to give us an authorized app that can change tile colors from the basic 10? Seriously is there a good answer? The best I can come up with is because that app would have to have registry access to be able to give us custom colors. However why make it an app? Why not just build it into the OS like a hot fix in settings or something..
their reason is probably design related. They chose colors that are clearly readable in both themes, light and dark. If they allowed custom colors, people would be able to, for example, create white tiles. Match that with the light theme, white text and white pictograms and the phone would be unusable. This goes for a lot of colors where text or pictograms simply become undistiguinshable or unreadable. It's simply a way to prevent this from happening and I don't see what the big fuzz is. Surely amongst these 10 colors should be at least one color you like, I myself switch around with 4 of the accents.

Personally only the Nokia Blue color is just not god awful to look at. I have tried every combination both light and dark and the Nokia Blue is the only one that when you take the phone out to show it off just doesn't scream ugly. Some of us like other colors of the spectrum besides the primaries. Particularly the darker spectrum. On my HTC I set it to a very nice shade of dark grey and it looked so buttery smooth and sleek. As to the design concept I can see that but a simple fix would be a basic if/else If theme = light (insert spectrum here not allowed) like white on white. I can see that idea as one reason but it's such a simple fix I can't see why they couldn't think of more colors.
Personally it's the only feature I miss from my HTC Surround was Advanced Config. Change tile color to match my mood that day and set a custom SMS tone. (Still not sure why this functionality has not been implemented yet after almost 2 years...)
Agreed, the color choices are pretty lame. And there should be an official tool to add colors. I understand someone may choose a color that can't be seen properly, but then hell, just change it back At some point, the hand holding has to be pulled back just a little and allow people to learn something on their own. And some of the colors are completely unusable for a guy that is not into Magenta, Purple, etc. But Brown! Who the hell ever uses that? I haven't seen not one SS or post from someone saying that was a color they used on their phone. It should've at least been replaced by a Grey seeing as how that's a more modern color! I've never seen Brown used in a Modern setting.

Lol, you guys jelly? And I think the some of the default colors are pretty cool actually.. Magenta is cool, blue is cool, lime is cool, blue is cool, red is cool, purple is cool. The other colors are ok except for nokia blue and brown..
Maybe I'm just a fanboy.
sure haven't said:
I agree with you 100%. All colours except Red, Brown, and green are pretty girly (and yes, a little gay).
After 18 months, they get pretttttty tiring.

As to hardcoded accents there is actually a microsoft article on development that teaches developers NOT to use hardcoded accents in their apps. So that argument is right out.
[...]
I still say it would be a simple app / inclusion to the OS to have a color wheel or something that allows more colors. Or if custom colors for whatever reason was totally out then at least add say 30 accents?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
regarding your first point: I think you're misinterpreting my statement wrong or that article . The article highlights that app developers should respect the accent of the user and not hardcode the accent itself into the app (meaning: it should use the color value provided in the system, not simply take the color value #FF1BA1E2 and slap it in there). My point was, that often developers use a second color in their apps, that go along nicely with the chosen accent. Some are hardcoded to look nice, others simply take the complementary color (weave comes to mind) which can result in weird/ugly color combinations.
as to your second post: I agree with the second part of that point: MS should add more accents in their system. I myself do not favour a color wheel approach of allowing users to use *any color they want*. If they'd provide 25-30 accents, surely no one could claim that their heterosexual lifestyle could be threatened by the colors of their phone :-D.

Currently, I'm using magenta with my Cyan Lumia 800. It's a vibrant & gay contrast to the rest of the phone and looks really good.
[...]
Perhaps custom colors are not allowed because they're edited at the registry level and that's currently a WP7 no-no. My device is dev unlocked and I still don't have access to create accent colors either directly or via apps. I hope that this is addressed in WP8.

number one: I see what you did there, nice one . But magenta on cyan? doesn't that look horrible? :-D
I don't think registry level is what's standing in our way. After all, adding or assigning a custom ringtone also requires access to the registry, as does changing the current theme. And surely MS would be able to allow such an app or setting not to be abused freely for our pleasure, they'd only need to allow access to the appropriate keys. I really think the main concern is design related: preventing people from using horrible color schemes that could deter first time users (for example, magenta on cyan ) and/or design issues with apps.

I does look pretty good. Take a look. Photo taken with a cheap camera, so the magenta isn't as bold as it truly is.

I just tested this out on my black lumia and it's just too intense. Looks more like a rad pink than magenta. I still say they should just add more colors if not give us the color wheel option. I mean adding say 30 colors wouldn't be very hard and I am sure they could get a lot more colors that people would like.
Definitely very intense on the black Lumia. The cyan body changes the way the display looks in its intensity. That's why can get away with it. Were I to own the black, I'd go for blue theme. I agree... More options!!!!

Many of the colors carry a pastel tone. I think if they added a dark tone version for the ones that are there it would be a good set to choose from. Maybe a light/dark color selector as well as light/dark background.

I don't think it's why "can't" MSFT, but why "hasn't" MSFT.
Not sure there's really much point to this question anymore until we know the details of WP8. If custom/customizable themes are not present there... then hell hath no fury like that of a Windows Phone user stuck with pink.

[Q] Disable new lollipop notifications

I just got my Edge last saturday (may 2). I loved having all of my notifications come through the edge display. I went ahead and did the lollipop update without doing any research first. Most of it, is fantastic. However, one thing killed it. I hate the duplicate notifications. If I get a text, I dont want it to come up over what I am doing and on the edge panel. Thats part of why I got the edge and not the note 4. /rant
Is there a way to disable the notifications that come up at the top of your screen with the lollipop update?
Not yet..going to have to wait until xposed is working
Well thats less than awesome. I was under the impression Xposed doesnt work on TW. Is there any predictions on when it will be working? I know thats a long shot in that field lol
ps. Popped your "thanks" cherry

That is unchecked on mine. Its not popup as in like, apple style. All apps (gmail, facebook, hangouts, ect.) will produce a banner notification. Google calls them "interruptions". Theyre toast style, so it pops up at the top of your screen, and eventually goes away. The thing is, I want all my notifications to come through the edge display, like they already do, but without the duplicate toast notification.
As Darnellkj said, I think we'll have to wait until xposed is working until we can block the duplicate. Darn

the "block" option is useless because blocks ALL the notification from that app.
the "lollipop popup" is a huge mistake made by google.... without any configuration options for the user.

Many of you who have a Windows Mobile past like me, might have instantly recognized the thin colorful line(s) in the above image. And for the new Android generation, introducing Energy Bar - a pulsating Battery indicator!
Energy Bar puts a thin line on top of your Status Bar whose length corresponds to your device's current Battery level.
Got a full charge? The line will cover the whole width of your screen.
Battery depleting? So will the length of Energy Bar.
After several iterations (thank you for the feedback, early testers), the App is now feature packed:
Energy Bar can be configured from a width of 1 pixel to cover the entire status bar
Energy Bar puts almost 0% load on CPU, as it wakes up only to reflect any change in battery level
Energy Bar's origin can be configured as left/center/right
Energy Bar can hide on fullscreen content (apps, videos, images, games etc)
Energy Bar can be configured to change colors automatically depending on the live battery level
Energy Bar could have a mono color/multiple color segments/gradient
You can literally assign any color in the world for your favorite configuration
Energy Bar as a cool pulsating animation whenever a power source is plugged into your device
There is something about visual over numbers that keeps you and your device's battery level in sync with just a glance. You may find it intuitive/effective/stylish way to read the battery level, let me know what you think

You're welcome! If possible could you post a photo of your phone with Energy Bar active? I am yet to see Energy Bar live on a Galaxy S9+
This is now at 88%
It works so far.
Thanks for this!! I used to love having this app on my s7e, but somehow forgot about it so I had to buy the full version..
Here's some s9+action with it in play
Sry for the double post, but thought I'd add another picture but in landscape and also a link for anyone that wants to see the bounce animation option, thought it is pretty cool..
It would be nice to have this implemented on AOD.

that would cause screen burn-in. Not a good idea.

Definitely an issue if it is an overlay like the app operates but if it was implemented such as the AOD, then it shouldn't be an issue since it's constantly moving around.. But having an overlay over the lockscreen, which I don't think you'd be able to do cause security, would definitely cause burn in with the same pixels being on at literally all times..
What's the impact this app has on the battery life?
Minimal impact

I agree, there are 2 issues:
#1 Displaying Energy Bar while using the phone is one thing, but displaying 24/7 (through AOD) definitely doesn't sound like a good idea, due to potential burn in.
#2 The latest versions of Android doesn't allow any overlay App to be displayed over the system elements like Lockscreen, Status Bar, Nav Bar. Further, Samsung's AOD doesn't seem to allow 3rd party to display, if I were to show Energy Bar on AOD, I would have to make my own AOD implementation.

It should have close to 0% impact. Please check the battery report of System after using for several hours. If it's not close to 0% then I would consider it as an issue, please report.
UPDATE: What's new?
EB_CD_1.2_BETA:
* Adjusted the curve at left corner by 1 pixel, because every pixel matters!
* Fixed issues with 'Status Bar' mode - portrait to landscape switching/auto-hides.
EB_CD_1.2.1_BETA:
* Minor Bug fixes
Hey Guys! If you try the App, please leave a review on Google Play Store, it will be really helpful, thanks!

Looks pretty, especially because of the color combination you chose.
@jagan2 Thanks for the new version. its awesome.
I do have a problem with the overlay in this app though. in some other apps, the screen doesnt register anymore when i press it. when i disable engergy bar it registers my input again. an example is gsam battery bar asking for root. im unable to press exept unless i disable the energy bar.
There were other cases with other apps in the past as well, but i forgot which exactly. I have tried another app like yours powerbar which didnt have this problem, so im hoping you might be able to resolve this problem, as i do prefer energy bar.

You're welcome!
So as far as the overlay issue is concerned, during request of permissions all Overlays should be automatically disabled (doesn't happen on S9+ ?.) Could you give me an example of another instance where the input was not accepted ?
Also, please try the standard version of Energy Bar and report me if the same issues exists? If it doesn't, with that version, pretty sure I can release an instant update.

yes i have been having the same problem with the standard version. on a S7 edge mind you. so its not exclusivly to s9+
about other apps, i think it might be lastpass but im not sure. if i run into it again ill let you know.
i hope maybe others run into this problem as well, so you might get a idea.
So far so good, pretty sweet! The only issue I had was I downloaded the wrong version and have donated twice through both apps

Dull colors on OneUI 2.0 Beta

Does anyone feel like the colors on the screen are duller on the Beta than before? I don't know if it's me. I have the Vivid profile with no blue light filter right now and I performed the Enhanced colors on Accessibility settings also. But I still feel like the colors don't POP anymore...

From the OneUI 2 promo video, they show that the new colors are brighter but i feel like on the beta the colors are the same, i don't know if the new colors are added yet.
source: https://youtu.be/wxwycoG41fc?t=44
Well right now I can't say if it's same to me it felt like they're more opaque but I did compare it to a retail S10+ I came across at the store today and it was at full brightness and I put my S10e at full brightness as well and side to side the difference was disappointing for me. The screen was so much brighter and colors so much more vivid it wasn't even a contest. I don't have any warranty so Im stuck until hopefully the Official Release corrects this. Thanks though, I had not seen that video. It shines a light of hope
The Beta 2 that just released with November patch foxed the colors for me! First thing I noticed when the phone booted!!!
i don't know if i'm running the Beta 2 with november patch (phone says it's up to date), but i just compared the colors from my Phone and Message apps with a screenshot from june, using Photoshop to get the exact color #****** and they are exactly the same for me

yes it says security patch : november 1st 2019
Oh man. Then I don't know what to tell you. I know mine was definently software related but if yours is still like that maybe the official release might fix it as One Ui 2 is supposed to bring more vivid colors on its own.

I've read you can't notice it on a screenshot but I'll do it if it let's me cause Im fairly new to XDA
Here you are. Let me know if it helps. Im thinking that if your screen is not displaying the right colors it will mess the screenshot but who knows...

Oh ok, good to know. I thought it was the new ones cause they're so much brighter and saturated than the first beta for me. Nevertheless I guess I have my screen working good and the brighter colors will come in time.
