They were a good indicator for notifications that are missed when you were away from phone.

I had a Galaxy Nexus with a custom ROM and was able to set the led to any color I wanted per app. It was awesome.

Did it go through multiple colors when you had notifications from different apps at the same time?

Yes, being able to set different colors to show up depending on the app is so cool. Still an option in LineageOS with a section for Notification LED.

My Nexus one did

I had a cool LED on my old Sony which pulsed to the beat of music playing. It also covered the whole of the bottom of the phone and also showed when the phone was upside down. It was well cool.
