[Q] Lockscreen flashlight - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hi
Is somebody knows if its possible to have the flashlight trigger by holding the home button on the lockscreen on a stock touchwiz rom?
Thanks

light
not sure about that but there is an app called galaxy torch you can set as a toggle on the favorite apps setting on the lockscreen

Thanks but i found something else ,its a app called flashlight led genius,while youre on the lockscreen you just have to shake it and it light up.
You can adjust the sensivity,so it wont light up for nothing

yep, just tried that app. very useful to be able to shake your phone to turn on the led light. thanks for sharing.

its faster than have it set to light on home button, i like it a lot ,touchwiz improve a lot but missing some feature and its a bit laggy.
I dont think im gonna flash a custom rom now,dont want to play with my waranty and loose all touchwiz feature!!

Fastest way to light up the led (lockscreen)

Just found a really cool apps on playstore.
I was missing the feature to light up the led while im on the lockscreen.Yes theres widget you can put on the lockscreen,and some rom have those
feature while you press home button on the lockscreen, it light up.
But i want to keep touchwiz feature and the widget was not as i expect .I like to have dashclock and the widget dashlight unlock the phone.
So take a look at flahlight led genius,you can set up the sensivity of the sensor so it wont light up for nothing

Nice! Works great...thanks for this find!

Flashlight & Notifications

Just a quick question to see what solutions others have found for these items...
I know there's a built-in flashlight widget, but I prefer a clean desktop. Is there a way to add it to the notification, power control or power menu areas? (Maybe I should put widgets on the lock screen...)
Also, on previous phones with custom roms, I have grown accustomed to a different color LED flashing for different notifications (SMS, Facebook, Mail, etc). Is there a way to do that on the N3 yet?
Just looking for options. Thanks.
Have you tried this for the notification light colors? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466233
And you can try to download and use notification toggles from the market to add more toggles...
Use Light Manager or Light Flow (my favourite) to control the LED colours. Have fun.

Try Knock V2+ for notifications, even better than light flow (in my opinion)
For flashlight, download UTTER! and just switch it on and off with a voice command!
Thanks for the tips. I'll try them all out and see how it goes.

I've played with Light Manager for a couple days and I've moved on to Knockv2. I have it activated and set up for a few apps, but when the screen is off, there's a yellow LED flashing... but nothing on the phone warrants any type of notification. Is that from this app? I disabled it but the yellow flashing continued. I haven't tried uninstalling it. I also am not seeing actual on screen notifications (icons) that the app is supposed to provide.
I customized come colors with Light Manager, but have since uninstalled it.
Ideas?
Uninstall/ reinstall seems to have resolved the issue with Knockv2. Still looking for a flashlight solution. Utter is COOL, but I don't necessarily want to talk to my phone.

Any way to increase LED light output?

I've noticed that the LED light widget isn't that powerful on the S4, and GoldenEye doesn't seem to have it in the drop down menu like my S3 did. I use the assistive light widget, but the output seems to be lacking. If I install a flashlight app, it's much brighter, however I do not want a flashlight app with all the permissions they want. Just for a light!
Is there anyone who could code it to be brighter, or maybe a parameter I can dig into using an app to get into the filesystem?
Just use Wanam goto lockscreen/hidden flashlight

Hm, I hold the power button, but it doesn't have a flashlight option. Latest version, safestrap. The wanam xposed mod doesn't work either, the one where you hold the volume button to turn on.

Notification LED

Hello,
I'm new here and I actually just joined like a minute ago just to ask this .
I am using a stock 5.0.1 i9505 but it is rooted. Is it possible to get back the LEDs that light/blink when the screen is off? I actually came from a custom rom that is 5.0.2 and has it. Is it possible to grab it from there?
Or is there some kind of mod to get it without using a third party app like flow or something? Just the LEDs like it was on Kitkat.
Thanks!
There are LED control apps on the Play Store that should do what you want. Try them out.
hmm so it is not possible to extract it from some custom rom or even kitkat roms? how about the pulse notification light in the settings in lollipop roms specifically albe's s6 rom as that was where I came from, is it possible to get it?
btw I actually tried light flow before
Thanks!
Extra question: How can I get the settings app of s6 into an i9505? I tried getting the secsettings and secsettingsprovider in priv-app but did not work.
I'd install Cyanogenmod. It has the LED controls.
In answer to your extra question, I don't believe that's possible. The person to ask would be someone who has ported an S6 ROM to the S4...hint, hint.

I don't see why Samsung would disable the LED notification lights.
Using an app would be a lot simpler than using a mod. Mod can cause various problems.

I don't know if it is a bug from the rom or not because albe95's s6 port has it working and it actually is the pulse instead of the blink from KK.
Now I just saw what is my problem. Cannot activate interruptions while the phone is in mute mode so LEDs does not light up when I receive a message. This only happened after I got Lollipop. Is there any way to fix this? In vibrate and sound modes the LEDs work just fine. I actually made a temporary work around by going into vibrate then sliding all the vibration intensities to zero. Problem is when I want to put my phone in my pocket I have to go to settings and slide them up again. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks!

Sorry about that. I am not sure how Lightflow and Magisk work (or don't work together). There is another app similar to light flow called Light Manager. I haven't used that one. It may or may not work for you. I have heard that others like it.
I've used lightflow and light manager and they both work. I personally like the way lightflow app is set up but that's just me lol.

Hey
Tryied the aplications Lightflow and Light Manager..
Good aplications but it's for changing led beside speaker...
I want to change the color notification from the led around the screen .. you guys dont have it ? o.o
An idea of what I'm talking... Led/Light Notifications
I don't believe we can't edit this led. Maybe a change of code in the rom or a mod..
we have option to deactivate this led in the rom options, soo perhaps we can access to is code to modify either.
when receiving any notification I realized when the phone screen is upside up the led appears to be thiny, and If you turn screen upside down the led light become more larger and change the color to green.
Ideas:
- Changing led notification colors.
- Changing the time of led stays on.
- Changing light effects (Breathing, Fading, Marquee, Pulse, Spectrum wave, Alternating)
- Change intensity.
Is this possible? Or some of this ideas now or in the future ?

I think that what you are talking about is edge lighting. That is a feature specific to the S8 line (I think). It is actually the screen lighting up, not an LED. I am able to get mine to light, but it is always blue. I haven't been able to change the color, duration, or pattern, but I haven't put much effort into it.
Look up Edge Lighting for the Galaxy S8 and maybe you will find some pointers on how to modify the behavior of the edge lighting. On my version of the phone there is a setting for Edge Display, but it only has a few options of when the lighting is used. No color, duration, or pattern options.

Yes, thats right...
But I don't think the light come from the screen.
Try to put phone with screen down and make a call for your phone with another phone.. When start blinking, put screen up and see the color "blue" changing to "green".
The light frame when the phone is upside down is more stronger, and when receive notifications with screen up is tiny.
I believe that is the maximus frame of the "led".
Yeah your thinking about edge light. That comes from the screen (only the edge it lit). There's no way to customize it (that I know of)
