It is available on the Moto Droid/Milestone. It is only the Nexus Ones kind of Android that ignores the settings set by 3rd party apps.
@Mark "The color of the led. The hardware will do its best approximation." This is true. But why does the hardware do correct approximation for internal apps and drops out a plain white LED for all 3rd party applications? This just makes no sense at all. This crippeled behaviour started with the Sense devices from HTC and Google (I don't know why) copied this behaviour. To sum this up: The hardware is capable of doing multicolor LED/trackball, the SDK is capable of doing it, just the NexusOnes rom (Nexus One the flagship device...) ignores these settings for 3rd party apps. >From a rooted device I can flash the LED in RGB colors with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5308427&postcount=8 But that does not help users out there with a standard rom.
