Recently I installed AOKP rom. Light flow doesn't work. Any idea? Should I change any settings in light flow.

AOKP has built in led settings. I like them better than light flow.

Did you have turn on the Light flow in the Accessibility?
Yes you do but it tells you that the first time you open Light Flow
I'm on AOKP and lightflow works fine for me.. more options than the build in LED setup so I use it. Didn't have to change any settings as far as i remember, besides accessibility..

I (of course) do not have root, but I am running light flow. It seems to be working fine, the LEDs that should go on are working and in the proper colors.
I have unchecked all the LED notifications under settings.
However, when I turn my phone off, the green LED light goes on immediately. It is not plugged in, and it's down to around 92% battery or so.
I even tried disabling all charging/battery related LEDs but still the green LED is on.
Anyone else having this? Any thoughts?
Light Flow is known to cause problems on the S3.

And I was wanting to download and use that.
Yes, I see after further testing that uninstalling light flow fixes the issue. Dangit, it appears light flow is far and away the best LED app. I put a note in feedback about it, hopefully the dev will be able to solve it. I'll try it again once we have root for the US version.
Any know if the light flow creator is working on this?
It's listed in the known issues on the developer's site, so I assume they are working on it:
hxxp://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/1931
it has something to do with interactions with the built in notifications.. if you disable them then light flo doesnt work.. if you turn them on then whenever the phone goes to sleep a green light comes on.. bummer
i used the LED color tester app and all the LEDs colors are off from what the previous commands were, i guess... so its going to be a while until the led programs work properly
Anyone know why my LED light is always on when the screen is off?
I have no alerts, a full battery, no new messages, etc..
It was a yellow solid light then i installed light flow lite and it changed to green.
I've tried to eliminate any color that uses green to find what is using it, but for some reason it always comes on when I turn the screen off.
Its a known issue with Light Flow for the US sg3.

turn off notifications in LED notification settings in the setting menu
Hello all,
I'm on the latest official AOKP and I can't get light flow to work at all, or any led notification. The only time I get a light is when phone is ringing. Can someone please help me get it working or someone can confirm that this an issue with just this rom? Thanks again.
I don't know anything about AOKP, but with the stock ROM you need to turn on the LED notification in the Display section of Settings.

Hi,
Maybe take a look here: light flow lite-led control works great on nexus 4
Does the front LED allow you to choose any color (like the Nexus 4, Galaxy Nexus, etc)?
Does the rear LED allow this too?
Do apps like Light Flow allow you to properly set different colors for different apps? Can you use both front AND rear LED's? Thanks!

I can only speak for stock:
You cannot choose the colors for each event, but you can choose which event you want to blink. The colors for each are preset, most are green.
The rear seems to be one color, but only works for:
Incoming Call
Alarm
Ongoing Call
I believe Light Manager (nonRoot) allows you to change the colors to anything you want (on the front). The back I believe is only hyper white. It has a very nice looking pulse to it. I believe people trying light flow could not get the app to detect the rear LED. Someone else can confirm.
using light flow i got the rear led to light up but it does not flash like the front so like when you get a message the front led is flashing and the rear led stays lit up and its only color is the hyper white
Front is full RGB color. Back is just white. You cannot globally change the color for specific notification types. You can however change the color for notifications from specific contacts to colors like purple, yellow and pink (and more). It boggles my mind though that you can't change the color globally. Hopefully a custom ROM will add that.

Some have reported inconsistent results with Lightflow. Also, I'm a battery nut and hate having extra apps running for such specific things like controlling the LED, not to mention a persistent Lightflow notification when it's running gets under my skin. Yeah I've got a bit of OCD when it comes to my gadgets heh.

Light Manager is working 100% accurate for me. And I'm not even rooted yet.

Can anyone confirm that the rear LED flashes only once then stops? I couldn't find a setting to make it flash more than once.

This is working perfectly for me as well. you have to disable the built in notifications in settings but after that it works like a charm. No constant notification and no battery hog
For the time being looks like Light Manager is the answer.
For a few versions now the custom ROMs for my Gnex have had their own LED notification setup built in. You can set any color for any installed app, and it was always ultra reliable. So once the development really kicks in for the G2, I dont think we'll need any external app for it anymore.
This is all good info. I don't like stock SMS apps because I have more options with third party like GoSMS but sadly I couldn't get it to access the notification light. Very weird considering every other phone I've owned had no issues there.

How you set the Light Flow to use the Rear LED in way you describe?
Front LED works perfect on my LG G2, but i can't set the rear to light up using Light Flow.

Bump, light flow detects other LED's which one is the back one?

This; I'd like to twiddle the rear LED too, although I know it's limited.
Also, has anyone gotten the Camera Flash to work? So far I haven't gotten it to work, but the front LED is working fine.
Can anyone please tell me how to configure rear LED in Lightflow ?
I am not saying step by step but please tell briefly. Thanks
Backlight control on the LG G2 (root users only) with their dynamic file paths. Select button-backlight1 and button-backlight2 in the settings menu to enable each part of it

Just got my nexus today! Playing with the notification light and doing some research. Seems light flow and led blinker cause the ambient display to come on randomly. I also tried light manager but that gives a persistent notification in the notification shade which is annoying. Any suggestions?

light flow works great for me (I turned off ambient display, as it doesnt work very well even without light flow installed). You can also, in light flow, turn off the switch screen option, which will also help with ambient display.
as for the persistent notification, that is a marshmallow issue for the time being, the light flow developer explained it quite nicely (ill try and dig it up).

Yeah, I mean I just got the phone today but ambient display is a little wonky. I thought it was supposed to turn on every time I take my phone out of my pocket, but if doesn't.
But where is this screen option in light flow?
The persistent notification is only with light manager. I don't get one with light flow.

give it time, on its own, it will come on also
In light flow, I am not sure if it is on by default, but if you go to main settings > general settings, there is an option for device admin, if that is checked, you will also have an option to switch screen on (which you can enable/disable on a per notification basis) . You could if you wish use this option instead of light flow, it may work better for what you like as well.
