[Q] Notification Led control app - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm using this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146879
It's epic how this phone works, i had a desire z so I'm really impressed by this!
The problem is that i don't wanna use the system settings to control the LED light.
Light Flow works fine but whenever i touch the status bar, the LED turns off and stays off for a while, before coming back on again.
Light Manager has the same issue.
Any fix for this? Am i missing something big here?
-----------------------------
^this bar means im on phone

Light man a very has been known to cause tons of different issues. Mainly in PA roms. Even to a point of breaking the install manager so you can install apps. I would remove it.

so is there any workaround/fix for the notification LED control? i must use an app because the settings method isn't customizable.

Not that I am aware of. I am not sure of what options are in PA as I have no need for the option in the rom but I know AOKP has a bunch of LED options.

[APP] Light Manager Compatibility

I am the developer of Light Manager. It is an app to configure notification LED color and its flashing frequency for different notification types.
I noticed that there are quite a lot of Nexus 5 users are using Light Manager app. Almost comparable to Samsung devices which Light Manager is designed based on. So I would like to make it fully compatible with Nexus 5. One major bug that users reported is the WhatsApp notification LED does not turn off even after notification has been read or cleared. I think it happens to other notification as well.
I don't have a Nexus 5 to test. Could someone willing to help in doing some beta testing? You may PM me or send me an email. I will send you the install apk for beta testing.
Thanks in advanced.
Actually I only start to have problem after update to 5.8, I am using ART
p.s. I got the same problem on hangout, not whatsapp
I have no issues with light manager but I don't use whatsapp or art.

I use and don't have any problem with LM, using it for months on several devices...
But if you look for further versions testers, I'm your man!

You mean the LED notification for hangouts remains blinking even after you have read the message? If you are using normal mode, did you enable "Allow Recreate Notification" in Light Manager > Hangouts option?

Could you help out in testing? I have added some fix but not sure if it can fix it or not. Let me know if you are OK and I will send you the apk installer for testing.

Yes I can help, but don't expect too much feedback from me due to I don't have too many msg per day to toggle the bug.

I've been using light manager for a long time and haven't had any issues. Using ART runtime and Hangouts. I also use alternating mode if that helps.

A Nexus 5 user reported that he found a way to simulate the whatsapp LED remains blinking bug at the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51149422&postcount=1727
Could someone here verify if it happens to you too? Just want to make sure if this bug happens to all Nexus 5 users instead of certain users only. By the way, he is using alternating mode.
Thanks in advanced.
I use to use this app a lot but the same issue with the whatsapp app was happening with Google hangouts for some reason.
I really love this app and always use it.
Is it possible to make notifications flash even if the screen is on? (i.e when using another app)
Thanks in advance

This has to be done at the firmware side instead of application.
Light Manager can support it if manufacturer allows it.

Will custom notifications sounds be implemented in future releases or the donate version?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Sometimes whatsapp notifications keeps blinking even after clearing the notification. It's needed to restart the light manager app.
It would be nice to have a led notification when receiving a call like light flow does.
There is no charging indication too. But I think it's a problem of nexus and not the app.
I keep using this app anyway, I use since a had a galaxy s4.

How come nexus is having charging indication problem?

There's no continuous led when charging.
The s4 behaviour is: when charging, red led continuously, when fully charged green led continuously.
In my recent experience with nexus 5, I can see that, with the stock kernel, it's impossible to have continuous led, only intermittent.
With custom kernels, like Franco or faux, we can see in changelog that there is continuous led implementation.

You can try go to Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Static LED and select option 2. That will give you somehow continuous red LED (In fact it is just 8s on 2s off as reported by other Nexus 5 user).

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!

You can d/l LightFlo, I used it briefly with other devices.
If you have CM installed, you can enable the built-in LED control under Settinmgs>Display & lights>Notification LED (or something like that)

I'm stock 7.1.1 rooted, light flow is a wackelock king it will drain battery super quick
Lightflo always has been a batter drain. I've kept far away from it for that reason.

I use Light Manager. Works great and lots of options. Never noticed it draining battery. I mean never really noticed it listed near the top of battery stats.

Led notification speed

Hi,
As you probably all noticed, the led notification is so slow, that it is almost useless unless you stare at the phone for like 20 seconds.
Is there a way to change its speed?
Why is Lightflow not working on this device? Color edits work but not speed.
Is it a kernel or software issue?
Thanks
Light manager works

I have tried every light app and can not get any to adjust the blink rate. Which app/settings for those who have got it work?

I asked them this in one of their AMAs and their response was that they do not expect to add the ability to change the duration or colors (or give us the ability to change them ourselves)...something along the lines of it would affect everyone, so it is what it is.
I fully agree that the blue color is really impossible to notice and the duration is ridiculously slow. I've tried lightflow, but hate that interface and don't like having to run another app in the background.
I'm just waiting for a more stable version of LineageOS that has the controls built in.

Lightflow can only changes the colors anyway, not the speed/duration.
Is it a kernel or rom edits that is required for that?
