UPDATE 1.1.B:
Description [menu]
This app can control the light bar of XPERIA devices.
Some XPERIA devices are equipped with a multi-color light bar, like XPERIA U, M, SP.
This application is still in development, more features are coming soon.
** Warning**
This application is on hold for now, but not abandoned.
I know it's been a while since the application has not been updated.
I have other priorities at the moment, so be patient. Thank you!
Note: If the application does not work with your phone, contact me!
Avoid bad notes relating with this! Unfortunately, Sony does not include APIs for multi color LED on each of its phones!

*XPERIA S IS NOT COMPATIBLE*
If your Xperia Device have ONE LED (white ledbar), this app won't work.
If your Xperia Device is flashed to another ROM and it does not include the Sony Illumination Service, this app won't work.
If ledbar not blink, try different methods of LED Control in Settings.
If your application works with a specific Xperia, tell me!

I can't test on all the XPERIA device if the application works.
But, it works correctly on these models :
- XPERIA U, M (and M dual), M2, SP, L : RGB color
- Xperia S and Xperia M2 DUAL : not working.
