Ok...I love the LED indicator. Is there any way to change the notify colours for different events? I use my E65 for voip so will never see the red indicator used on my N810 and would like a different colour for a chat message versus an email message.

Anyone know how to go about that?

See this thread http://internettablettalk.com/forums...ad.php?t=14914

I am not aware of a method to alter the colours for different events/apps at this time.

I also notice that when (for example) you switch the "device on" LED indication to off in control panel, this also affects the green Charging/Charged state i.e. no there is no indication.

The most annoying aspect of the LED indications on N810 IMHO is when in bed trying to get to sleep, is the flashing (White LED?) to indicate that the unit is switched on and active even though display is asleep.
(Which is how I am aware of green LED switched off when "device on" mode for LED's is set to off in control panel.)

I see that in gconf there are settings in /system/osso/dsm/leds: PatternBatteryCharging=false, PatternBatteryFull=false, PatternDeviceOn=false

If you want the green light but not the offwhite, try setting the 'device on' led on in the control panel and then from a root shell prompt:
gconftool-2 --type bool --set /system/osso/dsm/leds/PatternDeviceOn false

The colours don't seem to be specified here though, just which patterns of light are activated.

This page and this page have some info regarding the controlling the LED via DBUS.

Perhaps this may be of help to you? The file /etc/mce/mce.ini contains the details about the LED patterns available, so perhaps this file holds the key to changing the colours. I've only messed about briefly with turning patterns on and off (from xterm, as user), and I haven't tried editing this file, but it might be worth a shot. Looks like you'll need to learn NJoy formats for that though.

Yes, those seem to work. If you want to try PatternExample then you have to add it to the LEDPatterns key in the [LED] section, but once you've done that you can do such exciting things as:
Code:
~ $ /usr/bin/dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_led_pattern_activate string:"PatternPsychedelia"
~ $ /usr/bin/dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_led_pattern_activate string:"PatternExample"
~ $ /usr/bin/dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_led_pattern_deactivate string:"PatternExample"
~ $ /usr/bin/dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_led_pattern_deactivate string:"PatternPsychedelia"

After seeing how how the current version of flipclock can use a wide range of colours of the LED indicator, I was thinking an app to apply different LED colours would be great.
Some examples of a new LED setup would be
- pulsing white: standby, no wifi
- pulsing orange: standby, wifi connected
- pulsing green: charging, no wifi
- pulsing yellow: charging, wifi connected
- pulsing blue, bluetooth turned on

These are just ideas. I like how I can tell certain things from the LED, but itwould be nice to be able to tell even more just by the LED.

How about differentiating between an email and a chat? Both blink blue currently.

That would also be good.
