About this app

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.
