Best Android for BlackBerry-style notifications?

[katesbb]

I'm considering switching from BlackBerry to an Android, but one BB feature I'd hate to lose is the ability to customize the various alerts and LED colors for different notifications. Specifically, I have it so that it blinks blue for IMs, green for emails and red for missed calls. It also alerts with a different sound for each of those as well.

I see that there are various android apps to change LED colors and so on, but it seems not every phone is compatible with every app, especially when it comes to the LED, so I'm a bit lost when it comes to what combination will work.

Has anyone moved from BlackBerry and found a combination of phone/OS/apps that work well together and can provide similar notification functionality to a BlackBerry?

I'd prefer to stick with Verizon, and thus the DNA or Razr Maxx HD are my current favs, but I'm open to changing carriers if need be to keep those functions.

I am a convert from BB. I use an app called light flow lite https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...nsulting.android.lightflowlite&token=KyrSneov

works like a charm on my Nexus 4. the free version supports all system /most google app.
pro version support many other 3rd party apps

I don't think LightFlow currently works well on the DNA (which is a deal breaker for me) but hopefully the Dev will fix that.
On most other devices supporting LED Notifications though, LightFlow is awesome!

So its not a hardware problem then? An app update will fix it? I was afraid maybe the particular led was not capable of other colors . . Good to hear its possible.

Hence my problem lol... love the Nexus 4, but it won't work on Verizon, which I'd prefer if possible for the coverage. Love the DNA, but it doesn't seem to like LightFlo. Like the Razr Maxx HD, but it's getting a bit older now and I'm not sure about it's compatability.

Hopefully it's software...you might want to contact the LightFlow Dev.
He's super nice & quite responsive.
He's also very much open to working with others & helping people.
