Notification LED Icons on lock screen

[harry fine]

I'm a Blackberry addict finally over my addiction. Bought my SGS2 yesterday and I'm loving it.

I did find that Android, or at least the phone, doesn't have LED's that can properly display notifications, missed calls, emails, messages, voice mails, etc. Blackberry was superb in that regard, and could do different colors (with 3rd party software) for different types of even notifications.

Well I found Noled in the market, not bad. Very customizable. it will show icons of different colors and shapes for different types of events even when the phone is locked.

Take a look. If you are a recovering Blackberry user, you might find that this fills the void for the missing flashing LED's.

Not all Android phones lack LED. If I remember correcly Sony phones have LED too.

The LED isn't standard across hardware manufacturers so Android is unable to guarantee being able to control it properly. So, a lot of manufacturers have removed it completely.

Blackberry is the "gold standard" in terms of messaging which makes it good for businesses. However, everything else sucks because their OS and hardware is slow.
