HiLight Studio Unlocks Full Pixel 11 Pro LED Control Despite Google's 2-Feature Limit

Summary
@Dhananjay_Tech built HiLight Studio to give Pixel 11 Pro users near-complete control of the phone’s HiLight RGB LED, far beyond Google’s launch support for calls and Gemini status.
The app adds per-app notification lights, custom colors, patterns, always-on behavior, and exportable presets, effectively turning HiLight into the notification LED many users expected.
Setup is the main hurdle: users must sideload the app from GitHub, use Shizuku and ADB from a computer, and reactivate it after every reboot.
Google said it would not open HiLight to third-party developers, so the workaround relies on advanced permissions and carries some risk, though it also raises pressure for broader official support.
