BerryBuzz is an incredibly popular app that lets you customize LED notifications for a wide range of apps and device features. The app is really helpful in that it lets you keep your phone on silent and with a single glance you can see what sort of messages you’re getting. Recently, the app was updated to version 3.2 with the following:
BerryBuzz settings can now be opened right from the homescreen icon
Added support for Visual Voice Mail
Added support for IM+ Lite
Added support for SBSH Calendar Pro
Storing license key in backup file and prefilling the activation screen after restore
Moved ‘My Contact LEDs’ and phone group to the top
Merged SMS/MMS into ‘Text Messages’ on OS 6.0
Fixed group expansion state not correctly persisted
Fixed support for multiple contact lists
Fixed support for contacts from AT&T address book on BlackBerry Torch 9800
Minor changes to settings screen
Fixed reboot (battery pull) needed after initial installation
BerryBuzz has been one of the best selling BlackBerry apps for some time now and it’s surprising that RIM didn’t include the same custom LED functionality in BlackBerry 6. Considering the popularity of this app, it’s clearly something that BlackBerry users would use more if it were native. On the other hand, it’s good to keep the app economy thriving and you don’t want to eat everyone’s lunch.
BerryBuzz has recently been updated to version 3.1.11 and it now features:
Added support for Google Voice, AP Mobile, Nimbuzz, latest SocialScope Beta, Trillian, Pingchat, Kik Messenger, Blaq, Pocket Informant, myKite and OS 6 social feeds
Fixed IM+ support
Added item search/filter (simply start typing while in the BerryBuzz list)
