This app works pretty well, I get all the notifications, but the softkey backlight doesn't work well on my Xperia SP (C5303), running CM11 FXP 320. The theme colour is always set to white, even when I try and change it, it automatically goes back after about 10 seconds.

It works well with my Xperia M2 Dual when set to compatibility with Xperia U/J/SP/L. But when I have two notifications, only one color blinks. For example Yellow colour is for missed calls and blue color for SMS, if I have yellow light blinking and if a message arrives, only blue blinks and yellow notification stops. What to do for alternate blinking of yellow and blue?

only once in the beginning of an incoming call it is illuminating the color I selected and soon in a second or less, it turns to the theme color of selected in Xperia U. But if I lock the screen again before answering the call, it turns back to the color selected in your app!! Do u have any solution for this? I need incoming call notification over illumination bar of my desired color.

Doesn't give me full control with my xperia m2. The illumination bar notification just works fine with my custom settings for a short time and restarts after 5-6 seconds. It really sucks...waste of memory

the battery drain wasn't so high when the lights are not on! I had 1000 wakelocks in 1.5h and 15 minute awake time without receiving a single notification. This is top battery drainer in wakelock detector.

Would have given a 5 if the blinking option was made accessible on my Xperia L.. Why does the LED continuously remain on and doesn't blink.. :(

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.
