Hey guys
I got a question regarding the notification light.
1.When I get messages on KiK the light keeps green(it won't flash it just stays green the whole time till unlock) is this normal?
2.When I get messages on whatsapp the light is white and blinks, but when I go to the whatsapp settings and set it to green it won't blink when recieving a message. Why is this?
3.Is there a way to see the unlock circle or lock before typing my pin? Like when I wake up the phone I will first need to move my finger on the screen THEN I can type my pass.
Thanks in advance for your help!

1. I believe this is normal for kik on Nexus 4, but a solid light is weird. Don't know why, though I've seen this happen with kik on other N4s.
2. Could be that kik is interfering with the LED settings? Do you have lightflow installed which could be interfering as well?
Try contacting the devs for kik can whatsapp, they could probably help you out as well.
3. Currently, no, not with the default lockscreen. You can do this with a third party lockscreen however, such as go locker or MiLocker.

Thanks vorbatello for the clear answers
I have the same problem with whatsapp even when kik isn't installed. I also havent installed lightflow.
I'll just contact the devs I think, good idea.
Thanks again!
Another question:
When I recieve an email(gmail) the led doesn't blink or light up at all, i've read that others also havr this, is this normal?

After I disabled CM Profiles it would finally accept a different notification sound other than my default phone ringtone... What a confusing little feature
I'm using gapps 20130301and running CM10.1 nightlies. I'm not sure if this is an issue with this nightly because I just got this phone but within the Messaging app I'm unable to change the ring tone or vibrate patterns. It continues to use the system default notification sounds. Privacy guard is disabled on the app.
Any suggestions? I've reflashed gapps and I've cleared the data/cache for the app

Works fine here, for both CM10.1 and CM10.2.
And there is no changes on Mms recently.
http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#/mako/next
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Mms/commits/cm-10.1
last changes was 23/7.
Funny thing is it was working properly yesterday. Where did you get 10.2?
I did some more digging. It absolutely refuses to accept any sound changes within the Messaging app. It's using whatever default RINGTONE I have set instead of using even the default notification
Mine doesn't work with 3rd party apps, every one else's the same?

Light Manager works for me on all those. You do need to uncheck some of the stock led options in the settings. Don't disable, click on the words notification light and the individual selections will appear. Uncheck all the stuff you have changed the color on.

the problem is that light manager doesn't support the power button light so if the phone is sitting on its face you wouldn't notice any notification for third party apps

I can't get light manager or lite flow to work. I read I might need to do a factory reset, but want to avoid that.
Basically in either app, the test mode doesn't even work. I turned all the notifications off but left the notification light on. I know the light works and they light up when enabling them there. Gmail never works and same with Google voice. The calendar and text do work.
Anyone have thoughts?

I did a another factory reset. Lite flow didn't work at first, but it ended up working. Just make sure you install it before anything from the play store. I bought the full version so i could control Google voice. Well worth it in the end. I'm still ironing out the settings,but it works well now.

Let us know how it's working for you in a couple days.
I had it working on mine as well, but always after a day or two, it starts giving phantom notifications (the LED lights green, even with no notifications) and also using green for any notifications (it completely ignores the custom color setting).
I'd love to hear that it's still working for you in a few days. I hate not really having use of the LED for my needs (such a waste of a multicolor LED )

Yes, both Light Manager and Light Flow works for me. I'm rooted with the notifications lights turned on but the individual lights off. 90% of the time it would display the correct colors but sometimes it will go to the default green for my gmail. My charging color light always works. Make sure the options in Light Flow are correct. Check root mode if you are rooted, run in foreground, and reset color before change. I also have the reduce wake lock checked, and it's working for me so either way should work. To test just set the charging battery notification to blue with it constantly on, then plug in the power. The blue led should turn on.
I've also tried Light Manager and Lightflow and I've got nothing. LED's working with stock notifications, but not with third party software.
Does anyone have ideas for solutions or do I need to factory reset my phone (will that solve it)?
I had the same issue: native LED notifications worked (email, calendar, charging, etc.) but no 3rd party apps (BBM, WhatsApp, Kik, IM+, etc.) and Light Flow would not work. Light Flow was working in that I could hear the sounds, but no LED.
I had been using Light Flow on a GS3 for over a year so I was familiar with the app but nothing I did got it working.
Finally, I decided to do a factory reset; however, I first turned off "save settings to google servers" (paraphrased) and turned off "automatically restore apps and settings" (paraphrased). After the reset, I re-installed Light Flow first and then a 3rd party app (BBM, I think). Did a quick test and Light Flow was working! I then reinstalled the rest of my apps and for the most part everything is working.
Only two slight issues: my Email LED is green rather than the yellow I set it for (although it seems a very bright green, I wonder if they are both working?), and my Calendar reminder does not work at all (natively or using Light Flow). However, I am not sure if the issue is that I am using a replacement calendar app (DigiCal+) or a Calendar Snooze app. Not a biggie though, I am happy that my IM and 3rd party app LED's are working, especially since I am running the stock launcher and my notification badges aren't working for non-native apps (I used to use Missed It! with Nova Prime).
Oh. Same issue. Even the test mode does not work . And i don't want to reset at any cost
Even whatsapp notifications do not work. that's bad.
Might run going into settings > general > accessibility and check to see if Lite Flow or Lite manager is on in the services. Hope this helps

Ok so I have this activated so as to stop being woken in the night by email notifications etc however I have noticed that when I have daydream set to activate (I use the phone in a stand by my bed as a night/alarm clock) that the daydream clock is a little bright. So, when I switch that off so the screen is just black that when an email comes in through the night the green led is really bright.
Is there anyway to disable this along with the notification sounds when quiet mode is enabled.
I would ideally like to have a bedside clock app that is quite dark that acts as an alarm but also disables all notifications sounds and the led.

I use tasker to set the phone in silent mode under certain conditions and lightflow to control the led. Both are found in the store, tasker is quite advanced.
AutomateIt is perfect for this. I set vibrate mode on at 12am and vibrate +sound on at 7am. I like it better than the Quiet mode
I find that the daydream clock is a little bright for me at night but if I switch that off then the led works and is really bright. I need a 3rd party app that has a night clock and also the ability to silence notifications and led

Does anyone know of a way to unlink the ringer and notification sounds on the G2? I found an Xposed module that does this but apparently it is for AOSP roms only. I either have a ringtone that plays too loud so that I can hear my notifications or a notification that is too low to hear so that my ringtone isn't blasting every time my phone rings...
Nevermind. I installed GravityBox and found the setting in there
