Illumination Bar Pro
$1.41About Illumination Bar Pro
Illumination Bar Notification: Have your Xperia illumination bar light up when you have received an SMS, missed a call or there is a notification from other Apps (WhatsApp, Calendar, Gmail, Facebook, etc).
The phone can light up the Illumination Bar, the regular notification LED and the Camera Flash LED.
*** Note: This app requires a Sony Xperia with illumination bar for full functionality. ***
*** If you run Cyanogen mod or any other custom rom check out the first post of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706875
Support for different LEDs are hardware dependent. Camera flash will work on most devices.
Additional functionality in Illumination Bar Pro:
More colors. Any RGB color where hardware supports it
Personal Notifications (Incoming Call, Missed Call, SMS) - Dedicate a special color to anyone in your contact list.
The illumination bar can blink with different speeds or have a constant light depending on your preference.
You can also set the illumination bar light to "always on" while the screen is active.
In addition to SMS and Missed Calls, notifications from almost any app is supported.
The following Apps are verified, but most other apps should also work:
WhatsApp
Calendar
Email
Gmail
Google+
Google Talk
Facebook
Twitter
This app only have full functionality on the range of Sony Xperia mobile phones that have an illumination element (the transparent bar at the bottom of the phone).
Currently this is the following models: Xperia S, Xperia P, Xperia U, Xperia J, Xperia SP & Xperia L
Users have reported it also works with Ion & Sola and a few other models.
On Xperia U multiple colors are available to choose from (Red, Green, Blue, etc).
Xperia S and P only have hardware support for one color so they are limited to white light.
The bar will light up until the SMS is read, the call has been acknowledged or optionally the lights can be turned off when the screen is unlocked. You can also stop the light from the status bar.
There is also an option to stop blinking after a fixed time even if the notification has not been acknowledged.
If you don't want the bright light to shine when you are sleeping, you can set "off hours" when the light will be disabled.
The phone can light up the Illumination Bar, the regular notification LED and the Camera Flash LED.

Extremely impressed. Great app and easy to use. After purchasing Pro version I notice both the basic and pro versions were running. Consequently, I uninstalled the basic version. Will this cause issues on function of Pro version? I have since uninstalled due to the excessive battery drain. Works well but at a cost of battery.

Needs to be modified, it should turn off the leds when the screen is turned on instead of turning them of when the phone is unlocked, because some users may not have a lockscreen and the leds will remain on forever after a notification

Very easy to set up, very quick and good - but I cannot get my SP to use alternative colours even though the phone has them. So - good - but not quite there yet. On the plus side, it makes the notification light achieve something, which is more than Sony did!

Works very well, but the only problem I have is that with Skype and FB messenger the light sometimes never turns off. That could be my fault though with some kind of setting

This App worked fine on JB for the first 3 days after update - then nothing. I've spent 2 days trying everything to fix it, presuming it was a troublesome new setting in JB. It's nice to now know it's not my problem. When working fine, this App is fantastic. Every other phone has dim little led's above their screen as notifications that can only be seen from certain angles and up close. This huge, bright, blinking bar of light can be seen down the street. I drive for transit at night and leave my phone silenced, but in a visible location. Without this App, I don't otherwise know what communications I have missed while driving. Please fix it soon. The illumination Bar, and an App like this, is the main reason I bought an NXT series phone.

Functionality between this and the free version is not much different. There are other programs out there free and paid which stack notifications, allow music detection, and allow more control over individual LEDs. Considering Sony has released the api for their light bars, it is just lazy programming for this to be so primitive.

Its an amazing app, works fine. Except that on my Xperia L (C2105) I cannot make my illumination light flash. It is always on. I had the free version of this app and it let me make the light flash on there. There were no problems with the flashing. Why has this feature been removed?
