Hey buddies,
I got a Nexus 4 last month, and I have 2 things that I guess that could be better.
1- The LED notification is very inconstant. And the light is so weak. It is not good as Galaxy S3 Led for example.
2- The vibration system is so smooth. Everytime when my phone vibrate, I can feel it.
3- I cant set a diferent wallpaper for lockscreen and background screen? Because when I set a new wallpaper, it sets for both screens. I want to set diferents wallpapers for each screen.
Do you know some application or mod to enhance these "problems"?
Thank you!
I've noticed that my GS4 running a stock GE-based ROM doesn't have LED notifications enabled for missed calls, which I find quite perplexing given that LED notifications are working just fine for text messages and other events (e.g. charging).
Is there any way to enable LED notifications for missed without having to install an app? I just don't want another app unnecessarily running in the background.
Thanks.
Is it not an option in Settings > Display ?

No, I only have Settings > Display > Pulse notification light (checked). There are no options to turn LED notifications for individual events and turning the pulse ntification light turns them for everything but missed calls.
I also heard that Nexus 4 has the same problem. I was wondering if anyone has come up with a mod/script to enable notification light for missed calls as well.
ahh sorry.. I misunderstood exactly what you were asking.
I updated Lollipop 5.0 recently. Everything works fine. Except for the notification lights...there is only one colour for all apps.
As far as I remember 4.4 had a menue, where I was able to put a specific colour for different apps. For example green for whatsapp or blue for SMS or red for missed calls etc.
I don't see these settings anymore. There is only one blue light notification for all apps.
I installed a third-party app, which is not much reliable. Anyone knows where the settings are...or do I have to wait for Lollipop 5.1?
You can enable and disable LEDs for certain system tasks, like charging, but to change colour for specific apps, the app would need to support that feature, such as WhatsApp - you can find that setting in
WhatsApp Settings > Notifications > Light 'colour'
EDIT - Try this

Hello, i'm on RR (i won't change!) and i tried LED Manager, Light Flow, XLight (XPOSED). None seem to work. Built in RR settings work FOR BATTERY ONLY. Strangely not for notification : it flashes white no matter which color i pick.. What can i use (and how)?
Search for "Notification Light" in settings. then untick "Choose colors automatically".
After doing so, you can customize every notification by holding your finger on that specific notification and clicking on gear icon, you can customize notification LED.
Indeed it works. But not perfectly : Unlike battery led setting that has full control (really, any subtle change is accepted), notification led setting only let you have basic color, some even being skipped, green and blue for example. I'm wondering.. please check!

This is kernel limitation I think.
You cannot change blink rate either, you can only choose "always on".
Thanks, I wanted to shut off all LED notifications at night. There are apps for this. But this seems like a better solution. I went to "settings" and searched on "led" and toggled off "notification light". I'm not sure how to test that it's working. But I sent myself an email and a text message and there are still no LEDs turned on. That's how I want it.
I am the developer of Light Manager. It is an app to configure notification LED color and its flashing frequency for different notification types.

Since Samsung Galaxy S8 onwards, I did not test this app with a real Samsung device. Most of the time I fixed the device-dependent issues according to the feedback from Samsung users. I know this is not a good way and it is not easy to fix a device-dependent issues without a real Samsung device. So I decided to get a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 to clear up some issues that piled up since then.
I have roughly tested the basic functionalities of Light Manager app on Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and most of them are working fine.
I will keep testing and fixing the old Samsung issues. If you have found any new issues, you may report here as well.
Thank you.

Voicemail is using the same LED setting as "Missed Call" LED.
See if it works?

You can somehow generate a black color LED while low battery.
Just go into Light Manager > Low Battery and select "Custom color", then set the hex color code to 000000.
See if it works?
I am testing your app. I will keep you updated with errors if there are any. I will put a update in a few days.

oh then ok it works. thx
I have been using the pro version for a long time
on my Samsungs, lgs, note 8 and now with my note 9.
the app works very good.
once in a while I have to restart the app from within the app to make everything work again. that's because sometimes it stops showing the right led color or it works during "sleeping time".
Any way, I find it the best app for me.
I AM JUST WONDERING what is the difference between the app I have (light manager pro v 12.3.5) and the one You show on the top?

Are you using normal mode or alternating mode?
Light Manager Pro has no advertisement. While the one shown on the top is a free version with advertisement.
I am using normal mode.
it's good enough for me.
What is the difference in the different modes? When I changed modes, trying to get alternating notifications, I lost the ability to get notifications on my Gear 2Pro. I went back to "normal" mode & it works fine but I don't see that I have alternating notifications. Now that my watch provides notifications, I don't use the LED the way I used to, if @ all really. But it's nice to be able to glance at it & know what app is alerting me.
Good app.
Will likely buy the Pro version! But do wish there was more explanation about the various modes & options
Nice app been using it for years have it on my S9 Plus and on my Note9 as well i use the pro bought it few years back @mckoo:good::good:

There are three operating modes:
1) Normal Mode - Only one LED notification color will be flashing
2) Alternating Mode - A few LED colors will be flashing alternately when multiple notifications are received
3) Screen Mode - Notifications alert will be shown on screen (For those devices without a physical notification LED, only available for Android 4.3 and above)
You are using Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and alternating mode is not working for you?

I honestly don't know if I was using alternating or screen. I'll pay closer attn & get back to you with that.
Thanks for reply!
@mckoo, shouldn't the app start automatically after boot up? I always have to start it w/ my Note 9 (and also with my Note 4). How do I have it startup automatically? Thanks for a great app.

There's a start on boot selector in the settings. Works for me on my N9

Yes, it should start up automatically if you have enabled Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Start On Boot.
Are you using any task killer, battery saving app, cache clearing app or antivirus?

Yes, I've always had it 'Start on Boot' since w/ my N4. I'm not aware of it running any task killer/battery saving app, as it's still running stock.
Update: I tried restarting just now, the LM icon now shows up in notification window after some time. Might just have been some delay earlier. Thanks.
