OK I'm really frustrated trying to find a solution. Is there a way to get the screen to light up for a few seconds to a minute or two or keep the soft keys on the Note to light up and blink interval when I get any form of notification, mostly need for messages, miss calls and kick messages and emails. I have tried every kind of app, Noled, MMF, Tasker and a few others. The closest I got to was Llama, which lights the screen up but only for a few seconds like less than 3 seconds.
Really need a solution fast, I keep missing my notifications until for more than an hour, I am on PA rom 0.4a and not sure if BLN works, installed the app but doesn't seem to work, someone please solve this issue for me and the rest suffering in silence.
So surprised how such a basic function of screen lighting up when there is a new notification was available in as old phones as my previous N97mini but can't even have it decently working by downloading apps from the play store. I am so tried of Googling, have been doing so for several hours and I am sick of it. Someone with the solution or with their personal solution please post on this thread and share.
Sorry for the rant but really need this fixed soon, once again I'm on PA rom 0.4a

Thanks guys for the suggestions but NOLed is not what I'm looking for, it just drains battery and isn't bright enough to capture my attention but its fine. I found a solution... iPhone Notification.

I hope you don't get burn-in, does it move the notification around?

just wondering if anyone came up with different ideas for the notification light. i myself use flash notify app, it works great, however it only works for sms and missed calls. i hope they put in for email support.
NoLed is awesome, the developer does daily updates trying to perfect it.

Hey guys,
i'm searching for an application or built in option that lets my phone vibrate every x minutes if there are any pending notifications that i did not react to.
is there anything out there that could fit my needs?
didn't find any "repeat"-funciton in tasker either.
i want something like that, for my missed events/calls/sms

yeah, me too.
my 10 year old phone could do this... and had a flashing led :-/
there is an app out in the dev sections here for galaxy s that uses the screen as LED notification sort of
ill have a look this week at coding something as its should only use a few Broadcast Receivers and not be too complex
I think this would be a better idea then the noled app to be honest!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Is there any news on this app?
maybe we could entince the developer of NoLED to include Vibration
Something like 'notify' on the mAemo platform would be cool. Had an n900 which had multi coloured configurable led but it was always nice to have audio notify every 5 mins for missed calls and texts.

Unfortunately it does not work for calendar reminders.
try the app called Missed Call
it works perfectly for me
there is a small default app which works to save battery..i used it and found it really effective,it summarizes all battery eating stuff in one place.
if you have default 2.1 just go to application "support" and then click on tools and there you will find this battery optimiser
worked good for me,quick way to save juice

In the app drawer there is an app called Support. Once you run it there is a tab called tools. That's where it's at. The icon is a gear with a question mark on it.

yeah it is nothing NEW,all it do is ,it summaraizes all the battery eating stuff at one place,so it becomes really easy for everybody to do everything from there rather than going to millions of settings to do the same,i still have 85% after 12 hours with moderate usage.

2.1 official
jit v2 and crap apps freezed
I am about to travel abroad, so I won't be able to use mobile internet at all and I really need the extra battery life, as I'm probably going to be wandering around all day!
So today, for testing purposes, I fiddled with the settings from this app, and in the last 12 hours I only lost 20%! That's quite awesome!
It's nice to have those settings gathered together!
Thanks for the find!
hmm, is there any way to get this app back on the phone?
one way for sure, PC Companion and Repair!
And second one would be... gimme moment.... made a Backup of ALL Apps. should finde it here somewhere... *searching*
Nope sorry, just made a Backup from all installed Apps and not Pre installed
P.S Here some Pictures of Battery Optimizer. Just found him out of curiosity 2 weeks ago ^^
Already had only 2 left when i found it ^^
I haven't this either and i just did a re-flash so all the apps are back and no "support" app at all :/
Ok, I found it in the thread of 'all 2.1 system apps'.
Here it is for whoever else wanted it.
Out of interest I tried to install on FreeX10 beta 4, but to no avail. What settings are you able to control? Is it like wifi/2+3G data/blue tooth on/off policies?
It's strange that this is so hard to find in 2.1 because 2.2 is the same way. There are many advanced settings hidden in the power control widget that have increased my battery life with 2.2 far beyond what I got with 2.1 optimized. Not to mention, I haven't come close to going over on my data plan for the first time, and no need to use APNdroid anymore. You would never know they were there if you didn't look for them. I wonder if this "hiding" is an attempt to run up our data plans and encourage battery sales?
@Batman_112, Good to see you made it out of the batcave. Lots been happening while you were away. Welcome back! ( ^o^) lol

Very good.
I knew that, but like I said, out of curiosity I tried anyway. Thanks though.
Can you answer my question, since I wasn't able to check it out? What type of additional settings are there? Are they like the ones I described from 2.2?
I remember recently that there was an alternative to LightFlow being featured somewhere (forget if it was XDA or Reddit or somewhere else).
Does anyone remember it? I believe it was a bit more lightweight than LF.
EDIT: Decided to make this the general Nexus 5 LightFlow thread since that's what it pretty much became.

I prefer light flow. I like being able to set it to dismiss the light as soon as I turn my screen on. Quickest way to get the light to stop blinking.

Uncheck the foreground option in settings. I always uncheck that and I've never seen any difference, except the persistent notification goes away.

How about getting the led to be always on?
I've always liked it better than pulsing, and set it up like that in the Galaxy Nexus, but can't get it to work on the N5 yet.
is it worth having root mode on as well ?

I see the very first app i ever purchased on the android market for my old N1 is still getting updates (sept 2013).... TrackBall Alert Pro... also Trackball Alert..
updates say it will work with any trackball (hah i miss that thing) and RGB LED.. from what i remember it was a pretty minimal app that let you choose colours/flash rate/etc...

There's an option in each notification under the "light" tab for "LED flash rate" for "always on / very slow pulse". I have it that way for when my phone is charging.

It works on mine for charging indication. What kind of app are you trying to get it to work on?
Edit: I tested in on gmail, and you are correct sir. It doesn't work.
Hi all. I have been doing some searching around for a way to get the rear LED to light up in any way shape or form for apps, specifically SMS.
Has anyone found a way to get it on AT ALL using apps like Light Flow or Light Manager? Stock or a custom ROM? If you have gotten it on in anyway at all, please let me know! (And how you did it please)
I spent some time emailing with the LightFlow dev last night too, and he is interested in getting control over it too. So anything to get it on is great.
Thanks everyone!

Just tried, same results.
I have it half on with this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958939
Working on full access. Ill keep everyone updated.
To use that app install it and enable it in accessibility. Then open the app and go to auto locate. Choose your LED here. "button-backlight1" is for the left, "button-backlight2" is for the right. It will probably just show you up to the word "button: though. But it appears twice, once on the left of the screen, once on the right. Choose either side. And that's it. It will flash when you get a notification.
Light flow works for me rooted on stock Rom. ...you have to enable it in settings then enable it in the setting for the specific notification You want. .. but now blink or pulse. ....tell the light flow dev to add this option to his app

I sent him an email about this a few minutes ago. But light flow also only lights up half of the ring, the right side to be specific. If you use the app I linked above you can get either half (left or right) working and it blinks!
Ill let you know any updates I get, but at least it is half blinking now!
Worked some more with the light flow dev. We have gotten the FULL led ring to light up! It is currently solid. Ill post more as it develops.
In the meantime here is a picture of my device, using lightflow, when I receive an SMS. Enjoy for now!
