Led beacon / breathing LED
asked 2013-12-28 01:00:28 +0200
With my old Nokia N76 it was possible to enable the notification LED beacon while the phone was in standby state. In such case the LED flashed shortly in intervals of 5s or so so it was possible to find the phone laying around in complete dark. It would be great to add such possibility to Jolla also so it could be located even when there's no notification in place. Once there's an event triggering other notification LED behavior the beacon would be dropped in favor of such notification.
I have found out that such behavior can be easily enabled by editing the /etc/mce/20hybris-led.ini file and restarting the mce service. I would like to know if there's a technical reason for the PatternDeviceOn being disabled.
