What file is used for the RGB led patterns? I found configs for it in /etc/mce/10mce.ini and in 20hybris-led.ini. And, how dangerous is it to tinker with these settings? I remember the N900 locking up if mce.ini got corrupted.

The mce config files are processed in alnum order. The idea is roughly to use 00 ... 89 for defaults/plaform/device specific configs, and 90-99 range is reserved for custom stuff. Settings in "later" files can override "earlier" ones and in general there should be no need to modify existing files.
So, to have custom led settings that survive upgrades, you can (as root):
cd /etc/mce/
cp 20hybris-led.ini 90custom-led.ini
vi 90custom-led.ini
systemctl restart mce.service
Notes:
The configured values are written more or less as specified to sysfs control files. So, if you want to be sure that no harm is done, you can 1st try echoing to blink_delay_off, blink_delay_on and brightness entries under /sys/class/leds/led\:rgb_*/
The led configs in "10mce.ini" are used with N9, N900 etc and do not apply for Jolla phone.
I'm wondering: is the LED pwm ready? Would be nice to tweak it for fading/pulsing.

Here is a small howto:
https://together.jolla.com/question/11328/how-to-change-notification-led-pattern/
I customized the led patterns (edited 20hybris-led.ini) and it worked. Some time later the led stopped working completely – no notifications, no charging indicator, nothing. I only got it back working with a factory reset. But that issue may be unrelated, as someone has had the same problem without tinkering with the patterns. (https://together.jolla.com/question/14430/notification-led-not-turning-on-and-fails-test/)
@typo, I guess the led malfunction really is unrelated, as many seem to have successfully edited the led patterns without any problems... I haven't redone my modifications yet because I thought the problem was caused by my tinkering, but maybe I'll do it now :)

I edited the hybris one to n900 colours and no blinking when charging. Works fine.
