Led colors - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i'm looking for which color led could be use with Light Flow. I tried a lot of colors but some doesn't even light the led, even in red. Could anyone give me a list of all the colors nexus 4 support ? Thanks !

Hmm. That's strange. All colours work for me.

I'm using the free app 'cause if led doesn't work even in the paid app i Will not like it...

Colors work for me also. If you have the screen off and get multiple alerts with different colors they do not alternate very well. That is a problem with JB though, not Light Flow.

Are every colors working for you ? I've 4/5 colors which are working but not more...
And i try to test the led in the notifications part of the app. When i set red for example, the led will light up, but if i set yellow, or white, or another color, nothing...
EDIT : ok so i uninstalled and reinstalled the app... And now everything works fine ! Looks like my settings were bad... Thanks all !

(Q) Dark UI option?

So most ROMS now have an option to enable a Dark UI. On Xylon it's Dark Xylon, Pac is Pac is black, etc.
I'm just curious, does it only change menus to black? And is that it? It just seems a bit pointless having a whole option, just to change the menu background.
Sorry but that's just my opinion. Or is there more to this toggle that I'm missing? Thank you vet much!

Looking forward to someone answering this..
Well the name of the toggle is quite self explanatory...it makes the ui dark. This includes most menus, as well as other general parts of the interface (quicksettings, notification drawer, etc). I really dont see how its pointless...what more are you expecting it to do. If you dont like it, ignore it and continue on with your life.
It saves battery on devices with AMOLED screens
No it is not just the menus and backgrounds. It is also text colors and images.

Its a little more than just backgrounds. For example their is a reason slim ROMs tells you to download their gapps over say the official gapps. It colors anything that is coded to react to the dark ui or inverted mode. In my case the play store and the gmail widgets/app

So it does not offer any other benifits other than a dark look for non AMOLED devices? More or less like a dark theme.. ?

Black offers battery improvements for oled only...This is IPS+ so you're doing yourself a disfavor by using inverted gapps and those real black black themes some ROMs offer. You can Google lg IPS+ tech docs and white is the only color that uses less pwr on IPS than oled.

I find having white letters on a dark background shows better, allowing me to turn the backlight lower, so there is some benefit.

I see better with black text on a white bg, so I can also have a lower brightness. When using black bg on n4 I can't see as well so I raise brightness to like half outdoors.

I know mostly others are like that, seeing better black on white. Bright white is displeasing to my eyes, like bright lights. I actually suffer from a bit of night blindness. A lot of bright white makes it hard for me to read tiny black letters. Turning the brightness down only seems to blur the black letters for me. Plus, when my eyes tire, it only gets worse. I actually prefer white letters on dark gray vs black.

Does the N3 have an led notification light?

Anyone know?
As the N2 does not.
Thanks in advance.

I would imagine that the N3 has an LED notification light. But the N2 also has an LED notification light. It is just left of the top speaker grille, above the Samsung logo.
Great thanks. If the N2 has one then the N3 should have one two.

From the hands on videos, it does Have a notification light
this guy has had a note 2 for a year, and didn't know he had an LED notification
I assume it is the tiny blue one like on the S4?
Iwas wondering same... I can't see any notification led but maybe I'm blind

Multi-color please
My fingers are crossed the notification LED is multi-color (and more than just red/green/yellow) so you can quickly identify the type of notification without relying on a blink pattern.

I have the S3 and never really noticed a "blinking pattern"...
Mine just blinks (blue and green and red). On / off / on etc.
Tell me more about this pattern?
There are 2 dots next to the speaker grill, so there should be a LED notification light.
As to multi colour led lights, you can always use apps that make multi led colours! I have atm purple, blue, red, orange, yellow and green for my notifications.

Some phones use a pattern to differentiate different alerts (text, email, voice mail, etc.) and there are apps that let you control this too as there are apps that let you assign different colors.

This only works if the LED supports those colors, some LEDs are only 1, 2 or 3 colors like the HTC EVOs. They use a pattern instead of color, otherwise red for charge, green when charged or blinking green for notification and yellow for low battery.
I just hope the GN3 notification LED supports multiple colors. Is the notification on other Galaxy phones multi-color?
I would assume the Note 3 would have something similar to the Note 2. I have red when charging, green when fully charged, blinking blue for most notifications, blinking green for a text message. Don't see why they would get rid of that.

If you have N2 and don't see LED notification light, then you probably won't see it on N3 either, because evidently you don't get anything to be notified about...
N2 has 3-color LED and these colors can be combined producing different colors (require additional apps or even kernel)
Don't worry guys, I'm sure the led is cheap enough for Samsung to keep in the GN3.
This video will answer all of you the questioning regarding the led notification:

NB: GN3 is the one on the RIGHT!

If anyone is still in doubt the Note 3 I had this weekend has a notification LED. I don't think Samsung has time to remove it in the next week or so.

So when you test the white led you get nothing? I'd just point out that on my white note 3 the white led is quite "pink-ish"in colour, not really true white. Get LightFlow and test out the different led colours with that.

[Q APP] App to change LED notification to variable

Hey, I was wondering if there is anyway to be able to change the LED light color to variable...I know there is a way to change it to a solid color and have that blink but is there any way, say after receiving a text message, instead of it just blinking blue but to cycle from blue to red to yellow to green etc.?
Light Manager from play store has alternating mode. I believe that will flash all active notifications in succession.

I have been using light manager...however, I can not figure out how to get it to alternate...I have the alternate mode selected but when I get a notification it is just the one solid color....am I missing something?
Light flow does what you are asking. There's both a free and pro version however I use the pro and I love it

Stupid question did you restart light manager or your phone after you changing modes? I have issues with it not switching every once in a while restarting my phone seems to help.
