How to control LED (resurrection remix)? - Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers

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.

Phantom Notification Light

Has anyone else has experienced this? Seemingly out of nowhere my green notification LED will start blinking. Thinking I have an email/text/missed call I hit the power button only to find no notifications whatsoever. I check my inboxes to make sure nothing new was in there and find nothing. No alarms, no new texts, no emails, no missed calls, nada. It just continues to blink until I reboot the phone. Its not a huge issue but its happened about 5 times in the past week, just wondering if i'm the only one.
mine doesn't do it to that extent, but sometimes if I have just cleared a notification or something it will blink until I put it to sleep and wake it back up.
Huh. Haven't noticed that problem. For what it's worth I use Google Voice so don't use the MMS app and have removed the Voice Mail.
maybe its a hey play with me light? lol ive experienced it but in about 2hr increments of standby

It happens to me when I check a text through the app (handcent) but I don't go to the notification bar at all, it clears because I open it in handcent but it continues to blink until I pull the notification bar down.

Speaking of the Notification bar, does anyone else have an issue of selecting a notification and it takes you to the correct app, but it doesn't close the notification bar?
yeah, i've had that, where the notification bar will stay down after clicking an app. i just roll it back up and the app i selected is no open in the background, so its all good.
and as far as the notification light goes, i wish there was a way to also tap into that orange/red LED as a notification light. I downloaded an app that can control the blinking light and for various things, and if the phone supports it, multiple colors (dunno what phones have a multicolor LED there...) but seems it can only tap into the green LED. Which sucks, cause i'd love to have missed called and voice mails linked to the red light while everything else linked to the green light. maybe once its rooted and custom roms come out that'll be an option.
I've experienced this with Handcent SMS on the rare occasion. There's a certain combo of viewing messages that seem to cause this.
Since you can view messages 3 ways, reply 2 ways, not sure which combo causes it.
To clear it tho, I've always just opened handcent fully and opened up the last message received. That's worked every time for me.
I made the switch to GO SMS. It's a thing of beauty.

I am a bit of a text addict so I notice this happening frequently. Doesn't really bother me but I dont really understand why it happens some times but not others. It happens with GO SMS and stock messaging app for me.

don't get your hopes up. I upgraded from a Hero and it used what seems to be an identical light, it was hardwired to only use green and red, so no matter what software you use it wouldn't matter. Not to say something isn't different with this one, but just be prepared to have your bubble popped as I did the first time I saw those options in cyanogenmod...

[Q] notification light problem

So my notification light isn't working for emails and Google voice. It works for texts and other things. I tried light flow and that didn't work at all, even after unchecking everything in settings (I would buy the full version to get voice support if I could get the rest to work, test mode doesn't even work). I have searched around and can't find out anything.
I use Light Manager. You have to uncheck the system email led notification. Settings Display->Click on the Words "Notification light" brings up all the system Led options. . Any other Apps , disable their Led notifications individually. Gmail is an issue on this phone. The Gmail App doesn't have a separate Led option. It's either notification on or off. If you leave on Light Manager can't change the color on this phone like it does on a Samsung. If you turn notifications off, you get your custom color, but not status bar notification. Light Manager continues to flash your custom color until you open Gmail. That might work if you don't mind missing Status bar previews . As far as Light Flow, I haven't found a way to make it work on this phone. The developer says people are having some success, but didn't know how. There's a section about LG Led's not playing so well in the app description.
Yeah i am less worried about custom colors, at least want the notification light to come on, which it doesn't for either Google voice or Gmail, and that's with the stock notification or light flow.
I have read tons of people saying light flow works perfect on this phone. I'll try light manager then, see if that works.

[Q] Stock Notification LED overrides Handcent Notification

This is probably a ridiculous question, but the most annoying thing happens. I have an S4 Active with Stock KitKat on it. The default notification LED for most anything is blue. I use Handcent, and it allows you to choose a color for the LED to be whenever you get a text. Problem is, the LED is whatever Handcent sets it to as well as the default blue. So for instance, if the color I choose is yellow for Handcent, the notification is green. If I choose red, it's purple. I mean, it's Kindergarten level color mixing, but is there a way to override the default blue? Turning it off just keeps anything from using it.

Let's colors with multiple notifications

Hi all, I want to know what color is displayed by the led if there are two or more different notifications. For instance, if I have a purple notification for what's app, a green notification for telegram and a blue notification for calls, if I get all of those 3 notifications, what color should be displayed? In my case I noticed that is displayed the color of the most recent notification, but I don't know if it's the default beavhiour. I don't use any led management app.

Whatever has the highest priority, so sms or missed call notifications will be over snapchat. I think you can change priority in notification settings if you swipe down the panel

Yes, there are many color created by "mixing" the primary RGB colors. If you use third party apps like what's app, telegram, ecc you can choose what color do you want for every notifications. If you choose purple, for instance, you will see the led "divided" into two colors, blu and red, which are the colors that mixed together create the purple.

So it is only configured in these kind of apps settings?

Yes, or you can use app like "light flow" which is able to modify even the default led color for calls, sms, etc (the default color is blue).

I don't know since until now I never used it, but we are speaking about a led light, so I think that is affect on battery is almost invisible.
About the led, I noticed that sometimes it doesn't blink even if I have notifications. With the first notification no problem, but if I get other messages from the same app, the blink disappear. What could it be?

@meyerweb spent a lot of time figuring out the correct Light Flow settings for the S7, and his directions on another site helped me get it working. If you see this will you share them here?

Lightflow Legacy seems to be working fine for me now, with AOD on or off, after following all the steps recommended on their web site. If you just install it, and expect it to work, you'll be disappointed. Here's what I did, IIRC:
1. Download and install the regular paid version. Don't bother to set up any notifications.
2. Download and install Legacy. It will alert you that you need to disable, but not delete, the full version, and offer to disable it for you. Accept that option. This is NOT the same as disabling an app in the application manager. Don't disable it in the application manager.
3. At some point, it will prompt to to enable the Samsung workaround. Choose that setting.
4. Do NOT turn on administrators
5. In device Settings, go to Accessibility, scroll all the way down, and make sure Light Flow Legacy in On.
6. Back to Lightflow Legacy: In General settings, check (or make sure these are checked): Enable Light Flow, Show LED in Priority Mode, Accessibility check.
7. Go to Lightflow Legacy and set up your notifications. For some apps you'll need to check the Switch screen on and Wake screen when in pocket options to get notifications to work. To avoid the issue with screen locking and needing to use a PIN to unlock the screen, choose "Phone screen default length" as the value for Screen on length. The drawback to this is that your screen will light up for about 5 seconds when you get a notification for these apps, but it's the only way to avoid the pin locking problem.
7b. Apps I know require these settings include Gmail, E-mail (Samsung's app),
8. For the built-in SMS app, uncheck the boxes for Monitor SMS Conversations, and check the options for Monitor notification bar.
9. Finally, go back to device Settings, choose Notifications, click Advanced, scroll down to Light Flow (not Legacy), and and turn off notifications. Make sure notifications are ON for Light Flow Legacy.
10. In device Settings / Display, make sure LED indicator is set ON.
With these settings, everything seems to be working for me, with the only drawback being the screen turns on for notifications from Gmail and Email. If you set up notifications for an app and just get the regular Blue LED instead of what you've programmed, follow step 7 for that app.

One should show up as Lightflow, and one as Lightflow legacy.
I would suggest uninstalling both, then starting over by installing Lightflow, then installing Lightflow Legacy. When you install the legacy version, it should ask you to disable the regular version. Let it do that.

No, I have the same name. Anyway I tried again and now I see only one app, but in the Accessibility menu I see two app so I don't know what is the correct one, besides I get two notifications for every app and I tried to use what's app and light flow for the other notifications, but the led doesn't blink when I get a what's app message. I had to unistall it until I get how to fix this. Some help would be appreciated.

How to set LED Color and Vibration on a Per App Basis

In the settings, the phone allows you to "customize LED color" and does in fact allow you to set custom colors for charging and a default notification color. But that's the extent of it, there is "per app notification", but that just lets you define which apps can trigger the LED for incoming notifications. I was wondering if there was a way (non-root) to fully customize the LED color.
Second question. My old phones (G5 Plus and LG G3) had distinct vibration patterns for notifications, and I guess I'm kind of used to them after having those phones for so long. So I was wondering if there was a way to have custom vibration patterns for apps.
Thanks in advance
