Wish they'd put notification lights on the front of phones like they used to.

Yeah but... I dunno. I love my Rezound, but there are only two colors on the notification. Orange (they call it red) and green. It kind of sucks. My Droid 1 could make about... 4 distinctly different colors. Green, blue, yellow, red... So I could custom set colors to different notifications (thanks to CM7).
That's basically the only hardware I miss from my Droid 1. And the camera app on the Rezound is too noisy, shouldn't have to lower sharpness to reduce the noise.

Light Flow does this in addition to controlling front LEDs. Works like a charm on my Galaxy Nexus and has free and paid ($2 USD) versions. Light flow is basically a "notification center" sort of like iOS with in-depth controls for hundreds of apps. One of my must-have apps.

Best notification light ever was the Nokia N900 which had a RGB led which allowed for all kinds of colors, and built into the settings was a pattern editor. You could make it pulse, fade in/out, stay solid, flash any number of times--you name it. Choose your colors--purple for missed call, blue for sms, white for on, orange for charging, red for forward facing camera on, green for fully charged, etc. People used to compliment me all the time when they saw the diode pulse.

Yeah that's how the Galaxy Nexus is. I have about 7-10 different colors using the app LightFlow and it lets me assign any type of pulse/solid for any notification I want.
It's pretty sweet, one of the things I had missed from my D1/DX that the Thunderbolt didn't have.

Yeah, it bothers me that so many phones nowadays don't have an LED notification light. It's such an incredibly useful feature and it shouldn't be that expensive to include.

(not trolling) The iPhone had this feature when the iPhone 4 launched, it's very annoying, it uses the full LED brightness. And if your like most people, you have your screen facing upward when you put down at night, so it's pointless in a way.
