Hi has anyone found a app that is.compatible with the galaxy tab led.flash light?
I have tried the following but no success so far.
Mobile light
Switch widget pro light widget toggle
Simple light (which claims to be compatible.with galaxy tab)
Led light
A few others that I have since removed.

Use tiny flashlight + led, in the app itself(not working in widget), once the light is on, press on the onscreen button again while the light is still on to keep it on, press that button again to off it.
Meaning, press once to turn it on, press it again while the light is on to keep it on, press 3rd time to turn it off. It's obviously a bug, but great workaround for our overprotective tab

Thanks,
it doesn't seem to work but i have a suspicion that it may be to do with the Kernel that i am currently on ([OC1.2&1.4GHz][KernelPatch])
might jump back over to modaco's and see what results i get

Yeah I once used LED Light by picolyl , its in market . It worked nice on my JMEv2

Cheers, ive got both the Flash Light apps now and i have just installed the modaco Kernel to see if it resolves my light light issue.
Seems to be working "better" (i.e. the flash light does come on now) but my light goes on and off while using these programs
I wonder if its an issue compatibility issue then. as i am also running overcome rom 1.1.3 + modaco kernel similar to your setup.

Do as I said previously, and u will have light keeps on instead of couple sec off, remember, when the light is on, press the button again!! Not working in widget mode, please follow instructions to the word before saying it's not working.

Have a look at 'Flashlight' in the market too. Does the LED light, but also has some fun options for the screen. Red/blue flashing lights, Amber warning lights, etc. Works fine on my Tab.

just for the sake of warning tho, 1 thing I noticed is that the light density is a bit different from still photo flash vs video light

LED Notification Light Not Working

Does any else have a issue with their LED Notification Light not working?
No light when charging, or SMS, or Email, Missed Call, Low Battery... never lights up. Almost thought they forgot to install the LED until I used LightFlow to test it. And even then it only works when the screen is off, once the power button is pressed to turn the screen on then LED goes off, even though I set LightFlow to clear notification Manually. (LightFlow was just used to test if the LED was installed/functional.)
Uninstalled LightFlow, send myself a couple test emails and text(from another phone) and There was no LED notification light, just the notification sound.
Really hoping this is a software issues so I don't have to request a replacement device from Google...
Edit/Update: I'm pretty sure this is a software related issue and not hardware, as the LED is there and functions (with the help of 3rd party app, which we should not have to use) - So I'm trying to get a poll here of how many people have issues with the LED Notification light not working. Something to report to Google/Bug Report.

I believe the reason is that the software has not been updated to be completely compatible with 4.2+

What software are you referring too? LightFlow?

Mine doesn't work either. I tried LightFlow and while it did light up the LED for some things, but not all that I selected, it was too faint to see, have to be in total darkness to see it.

The led isn't supposed to flash when the screen is on. Its been this way with every nexus.

But does your LED work when the screen is off? Mine and the OP's don't unless you use a third party app.

Is the Notification Light activated under display settings?

Mine worked, but not really well, I only saw it once when sending myself a test mail. Now I'm using Light Flow, which works nearly perfect (sometimes it doesn't seem to work until I enable the screen for a second and then disable it again)

Pulse notification light is checked

Im having the same problem. My led doesnt seem to come on no matter what. I know it worked out of the box because I have seen it light up with light flow but now im wondering if it quit completely and if I should do an RMA.

Mine has been working fine. It's white for TXT's, green for a lot of other things like FB and whatsapp

Yes the "Pulse notification light" option is checked.
I woke today with 6 New emails, 4 text messages, and 1 missed call... No LED Notification light was on, blinking or doing anything.
There not being a notification light is bugging the heck out me, 'cause I depend on them when my phone is on silent at work so I'm able to know there is a message waiting without having to stop what Im doing to turn the screen on every 5 min.

Try 'Blink'
Try the app 'Blink' very simple and its works for my N4

are you waiting 10 seconds before turning the phone on? Thats how long it takes before it blinks again. Whoever programmed the LED truly hates LED notifications because he made it blink so slowly and dimly that nobody could possibly notice it.

Yup, sat there watching the phone for a good 2-3 min after hearing the Notification sound for new email / text. (screen off)
Not sure if its suppose to or not, but I don't even get a LED Notification light when the phone is charging or charged (have to turn phone on to check if the phone is done charging.) Past devices I've had used the LED to notify of charging/charged.

It's normal that it doesn't glow when charging. I really can recommend Light Flow, then you can customise the notification as you wish (the free version is good, I bought the full version because I need steam support, but for normal use there is no need to buy it)

Ok, so my notification light wouldnt work no matter what. I uninstalled sms popup and now light flow works like it should. I guess the sms popup was somehow blocking light flow from allowing it to activate.

No notification light shows while charging, hence why when you charge the phone when it's off, it shows an animation on the screen. It should for calls, texts, emails, etc. though. Mine works. It even shows blue for facebook and white for texts/emails. Not sure why it wouldn't work. Have you gotten the 4.2.1 update?
Additionally, light flow states in its description that it doesn't work on most lg phones.

[Q] Light Flow working?

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

Front and rear LED's? Are they both RGB/full color?

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

[Q] Xposed KnockOn LED

One of the features of the stock G2 rom I miss the most is the white notification LED that indicated KnockOn was used. Because KnockOn is not 100% accurate and it takes a moment to wake the screen, I find myself jabbing at the screen multiple times trying to turn it on.
Would it be possible to make an xposed module for this feature? Or will this feature be incorporated into custom roms in the future? It's a smallsmall thing, but it would be nice.

My LED turns on when turning on the display using Knockon when it detects a double tap.
