[Request] Backlight notifier

Hi everyone.
Hope i'm not repeating a thread, guess not....
I want to ask for the development of an APP which already exists for HTC HD2, and i think Samsung also.
- Request: App, which blinks the keyboard blacklights only when we have a missed call, sms, mms, e-mail...which doesn't turn on the screen and save some battery, and make us know we have a missed event just by looking at the keyboards lights.
Already developed here, but doesn't work on LG P500:
LeoExtendedNotifications
BackLightNotification
Thank you guys.
Appreciate

It has to be implented into the kernel. I hope somebody will help us.

Missed Message Flasher Free works just fine for me. It does exactly what you want , you just have to play with a settings for a while

Yes, i know, i understand but i want to avoid the screen backlight to turn on, and avoid wasting the battery for screen light up.
See the idea? :S

I´ve got the flash duration set to 750 milliseconds and the screen is not turning on, just the backlight of the keyboard.

I'll try it as soon as i get home.
Thanks ghostface

Thank you ghostface. It works excelent !

Yeah, that's fine, that's what i wanted...
Just one problem, if you set the Blinking for more then 300msec. it will blink the screen also...
But it solves my problem for now.
Thank you!

I use no led from the market

Thx for the hints, i set to 250msec

I think new version on the market has that fixed!

display still blinking
in MMFF display still blinking. Try look on it in absolute dark. Im scarred, that this can damage display in long time use. LED under buttons can blink separately IMO, but someone must discovery how to do it. It isn't in Android API, but on rooted phones must be some way.
I'm find in /proc/kmsg this lines when backlight of display and buttons turning on and off

Hey using CM7 custom Rom, and use the app but doesn't work at all if I don't choose toflash screen, buttons don't blink.
Can you give me a screenshot or something to show me your settings?

I think the Nessy ROM has that ability built in.. I used it for a long period of time before I discovered CM7 for P500. TBH, the flashing of the lights was bugging me after a while..

[Q] HD2 Screen/Brightness Problem

i have hd2 but i have problem with brightness on the phone
when im outside i dont see nothing on phone like its not turned on,only when im in dark i can see whats on screen

Light flow not working properly after .253

Hi the pulse light now works in stamina mode but not properly with programs like light flow led control. The leds flash correctly for a couple of seconds before sonys default led notifications replace them.
Tried different programs and settings, even disabled stamina mode but nothing works.

And if you run the cycle tests under tools, does the same behaviour show?

Yes the same behavior when you run the test and the same thing happens when I tried a different led control pRogram
when the screen is on it works fine as soon as the screen is off it exhibits the same behavior. Stamina mode on or off doesn't make a difference.
worked fine in.434 or whatever the old firmware was.

Right, mine worked until I rooted my phone. How I got this to work was to delete all the lightflow folders on the internal SD, then deleted all data for the app, un-installed the app and re-installed it, now it is all working fine. I am using 3.7.0.

Done all that still not working what Rom are you on. Not rooted and it worked fine in the old Rom.

Try LedBlinker Pro app. I just bought it and it works perfect!

It worked on my FTF ROM posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280329 non rooted, it didn't work initially when I moved to NUT's rooted ROM, that was until I did the steps I mentioned above.

strange I wonder why it doesn't work here.I'm going to try out the UK o2 Rom tomorrow.

i have the same problem mate, unfortunately it is lightflow related. I found a string on the developer site telling that lightflow can have problem with stamina mode and he suggest to disable stamina mode!
Now i will try this other app (Led Blinker) and check if it will work.
The behavior is clear: stamina mode shuts off the lightflow process.. i think the developer must fix it!
EDIT:
tried both, tried to whitelist both in stamina mode menu, tried to delete folders, app data, cache, everything. But still not working lightflow neither led blinker.
On stock ROM after few seconds Stamina shut off the LED control..

Does you LED even work .
Just out of interest do you have google backup enabled, to back up your phone to your registered email account?
Disable this and see if you still have the same problem, just putting it out there because I do not use this feature and I had read someone posting something about this along to LED issues.
This can be found under settings, Backup & reset

BTW, LEDBlinker seems to work flawless by using user-defined values for the LED off and on times!

right well led blinker works in normal mode now.
has any one got it working with stamina mode on.

No i have the function disabled! (and yes my LED works by default with all the apps)

I updated my XZ to .253 and yes it has this bug. Earlier my LED light used to work fine. I had set different colors for different applications but now after the update the light blinks to default white color for all the applications while the screen is locked. It behaves normally once the screen is unlocked. Earlier I used to know by the color of LED what is the notification for without unlocking the screen but now I have to check evrytime Hope sony fixes this bug in the next update. Anyone of u guys face this problem ??

i don't think this is a bug.. only that sony, to fix the previous issue, changed the method the LED is managed.
The developers of the applications should fix something i think!

The problem is to do with the Sony firmware, this is obviously the case and has been for a while now, because some people have this problem and some do not.
This is likely to be due to the variations of the ROM per location. For example my ROM has issues with WIFI but the europe version does not, and the list goes on for inconsistancies.

Right guys heres a update.
Had some free time so flashed the O2 (uk) .253 version and now the led magically works, even in stamina mode.
Plus the phone is back to its original smoothness.
So for me the .253 central european version wasnt as good as O2 UK's .253 version which I guess makes sense for me as its a UK phone and I live in England..

Strange light flow not working in stamina mode now.well the led light works in stamina mode so guess I'll stick with that.bit of a shame oh well.

LED notifications not working....

Hey all. New Vzw G2 here. I have clean rom on this right now and just loaded up aicp as well and neither rom has working led notifications. The led works it charges red, blinks green on boot up, and flashes white on waking up the screen with double tap.
I have tried multiple notification programs from the play store and tried to test out the led but nothing is working...
Am I just missing something obvious here??
Any help would be appreciated.

I know that this sounds like a no-brainer, but we sometimes forget to check the simple things. Check your settings under display and make sure you have the notification switch "on" and then download and try light manager from the play store.

The only thing I could figure out to get LED notifications to work was to use a 4.3 based rom which has the proper API's for notification apps. IMO I traded the IR functionality for one which lets me setup my phone to actually have notifications. No idea what the AICP rom is since I have a D801 and the VSW G2 is all different for whatever silly reason but Light Flow works great on PA.

Thanks all still no such luck. So weird. Enabled and disabled the notification in display tried light manager and light flow still no go. For real I don't get it. I know the light works but only for system notifications like charging battery low knock on etc. SO weird. Grr

Can you test a different rom?

I've tried aicp and clean and I'll try another here soon. 4.2.2 hasn't worked and an AOSP 4.3.1 hasn't worked I can't figure it out.

Could my issues be anything to do with still being on the most recent stock firmware baseband? I have a rule now to never accept OTA updates after my S4 screwed me over. I thought I read there was an OTA for Verizon at some point....

Have you tried backing up your data and trying the stock rom? I've also noticed that some things don't function properly on some custom roms, especially if it's not stock. I know you said you've tried other roms, but at this point, it just has to be checked through trial and error.

Make sure Pulse Notification Light is enabled, Use custom values is disabled and Battery Light is disabled. I have Root Mode and Reset color before change enabled on Light Flow and anything else significant disabled.

For the stock rom, Google backup was screwing up with the led notification. I had that problem.
I disabled Google backup and wiped the phone.
During initial boot when it says to back up with Google I deselected it and the led notification worked.
Not sure for custom rom.
Good luck

Hmm! Well, I am going to try this. I have plenty of TWRP backups, I'll run a fresh install and see if not using google restore fixes the issue. If it doesn't, I'm STUMPED!
I sure hope it works, this is the ONLY issue I have, I LOVE this phone otherwise, but this is a pretty big issue, I never know when I have messages waiting!

HOLY CRAP - If I could THANK you a million times I would. Deselecting restore from google WORKED. Booted CleanROM up as a fresh install and tried out the lite version of LightFlow, and BAM, LEDs worked. Must have brought some setting over from all my Samsung devices I owned previous. Never had an issue going from the S3 to Note2 to S4, but going to an LG, must have had issues.
THANK YOU !!!!

Glad that it worked.
Read it somewhere that the backup was the culprit. So the credit goes to the first person that discovered it.

Seriously! I was about to try to return my phone, that would have been a hassle and a half. I LOVE my G2, Best phone I've had, I wish there were more cases for it for the Verizon version, I'm a minimalist guy and there is like one case on ebay that fits that bill. Oh I digress!

I switched from GS3 to G2 and let Google restore my settings and apps. My Light Flow (and Light Manager and every other LED app under the sun) just would not work. I just couldn't figure it out... it worked just fine on the GS3.
Finally, after disabling the auto restore of settings and apps, I did a factory restore; and now Light Flow works. Well, my email insists on green rather than the colour I set for it, and I can't seem to get the calendar notification LED working but everything else LED related now seems to work (mostly all 3rd party IM apps) including charging, charged, sms, etc.

Is there a stable app for enabling the LED for notufications?

I have a moto G4 (16GB) dual sim...
I use moto LED enabler to allow notigications to use the LED.
It sucks however, it seems to only ever work once, abd then never again until the next reboot.
I've tried lightflow with various different settings, and can't get that to work at all..
Does abyone know of an alternatve app that works ?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, it at least confirms the problems I'm having as well.
I use ElementalX App to enable the charging LED, and it works pretty well.
I've seen some posts about people having luck with LightFlow although I can't get it to work at all..
Anyone have the exact settings for LightFlow?
