For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

    What’s kinda crazy is we could reimplement the notification LED with blue OLED now just via software. Just no one has done it.

    Edit: It’s been done, but a quick Google search says it no longer works. I might get bored and write one.

    Edit2: This one seems to be working fine for me.

        I don’t have a AOD enabled on my phone, but I’m pretty sure most AOD elements like this flash and/or move slightly to reduce risk of burn in.

        Edit: by flash, I mean more of like “pulse” or “breathe”.

      That was one of my favorite features of the Nexus one. Didn’t really need the track ball but being able to customize the color of notification light (I forget if that needed root or not) based on app was great. I’m guessing it must have been persistent blinking otherwise my current edge lighting notification would scratch the same itch, couldn’t be just nostalgia on my part…
