There is a second blinking light (top right corner) of the earpiece. Does green, orange, and red and you can set its blink rate! Works perfect on my EVO!

Well hell, I am not even gonna lie. This is the first time I have ever heard of this and I am quite shocked that this hasn't been spoken about more since the phone has been for almost 4 months.

Yep, I didn't know about it either...but I just bought mine recently and coming from WinMo TP with much better notifications this is a welcome addition. Thanks.

News to me too. Good news at that.

Yeah, I had never heard of this before either. I had heard that they were working on custom "blinking notifications" but I had no clue there was a second light involved. It's all good though!

From what I read, the first versions needed root but this version does not. I have been using it now for...um...4 hours (lol) with a multitude of texts and not one problem.

See, I get hundreds of calls, mostly creditors, and I have a 1 year old. So I keep my phone on silent so he can sleep and when the wife texts me, I need to know. And since this is a separate light with different colors, I can keep my phone on charge and still know when she texts without having to check it multiple times.

As much as I love PPCGeeks forum, for the EVO, XDADEV site is where all the action is. If you don't have an account there, get one.

Compared to the 100 or so new posts in the evo area here in a day, they get 100 an hour.

Word of warning, better read and search A LOT before asking questions. Pretty tough crowd over there. Post something that's been asked 20 other times and folks there will jump all over you.
