Hidden notification light

[eric002]

Not sure it doesn't sound weirs but with root and your notification light, is there any worry about burning out that led notification light on the top speaker grill at all?

I'd say no. LED lights by nature are designed to last for a long long time

Why did Motorola/Google choose not to activate the led light? That's the one wish I had for this phone

That's what I thought, makes sense. Just making sure.

Yes, I'm not sure why Google and Motorola decide to hide this one feature. If nice has a very strong bright LED on the front top speaker grill anyways. Weird. Of course, what you're rooted, you can do whatever the heck you would like with it.

Honestly, at first I thought that. But rooting the phone takes two minutes you hook it up via USB to computer download an executable program file boot the phone into recovery mode and a few minutes later you're done literally. Other phones are harder but the Nexus phone is different I learned that the hard way as well.

I just tried installing two different apps that use the camera flash for notification light and it failed

Right because for lite flow in particular, you need to have the root access, that's why.

You don't have to be a computer whiz to root or anything else. You just need good reading comprehension, and follow instructions to the letter. ✤ Nexus 6 ✤ Sticky Roll Up thr… | Nexus 6 | XDA Forums

Plus, it's almost impossible to hard brick a Nexus device. Even if something did screw up, it's easy to restore. Once you realize how easy it is to do, you'll feel foolish you didn't do it sooner.
