I've been looking around these forums for quite a while now, hoping to find a near-stock ROM based on the latest NPN25.137-83 North American firmware that has integrated notification LED support. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything.
This ROM is the closest thing I can find to what I'm looking for. Very nearly stock - just zipaligned, debloated, deodexed, a simple camera mod, and the LED enabled for notifications. The only downside is that it's not based on 137-83. Considering the March security patch, it seems to be based on 137-67 at the latest. And the developer of the linked ROM apparently has no plans to integrate the August security patch or the rest of the 137-83 firmware (a big problem for me considering the Verizon VoLTE bugs on 137-67).
There are other solutions too, like the Moto LED enabler app, but it's not that reliable. The blinking follows some sporadic and unappealing pattern, and it sometimes likes to stop blinking entirely after a while. The list of apps that enable the LED also seems to periodically reset itself.
So, my question is as follows: would someone release a ROM similar to the one I linked with the latest firmware and patches? Or perhaps can we just get a TWRP flashable zip to enable the LED for notifications? I'll gladly pull some weight on this if someone can point me in the right direction. Thank you!
Would really like to see this implemented as well, Paranoid Android rom I tested a while back also had this implemented very well, even works with screen on.
I'd like this as well.
I tried with Tasker but, due to deep sleep, it stops to work after few seconds of screen off (it works fine only enabling the option "Keep Device Awake" but battery drains quickly)

Not being able to post on the Development sections cramps on my style a bit, but I have a couple of questions:
* First of all, I am still on Oxygen, do you guys think there's any good reason to switch? I like Oxygen a lot and apart from a couple of issues (see below) I've been very happy with it... Will dzo ever show up again and merge the new drivers into his release?
* Have the camera and GPU driver from the official 2.3 been ported to any other ROM?
* I've been seeing a lot of ICS related ROMS in Development as of late, is there a fully functional ICS ROM yet? What's stopping us, since it seems almost every other device is making some progress with it (i.e: having hardware acceleration enabled, radios working, etc.)?
Problems with Oxygen:
* Light Sensor behaves strangely: for example, with auto brightness enabled, turning on or off the light in my room makes no change in screen brightness. If I put the device close or directly under a lightbulb it will only then begin to change. I can confirm this with some sensor testing apps. Is there any way to calibrate the light sensor?
* Microphone acts strange: I have never seen anyone report this, but when I connect headphones, then try to use for example voice dialing or voice commands it will not work (wait forever) or simply give an error. If I disconnect the headphones after I tried to use voice it will never work again unless I reboot. If I connect headphones, never use voice, and then disconnect them and use voice it will work as it should
* Signal Strength very irregular: I live in a area with difficult reception, but signal strength is insane, sometimes is goes from 0 to full bars like no big deal
* Camera's FPS very jumpy (new drivers will fix this?)
* No access to internal storage: I knew this going in, but still...
* Flash videos sometimes green and overlapping the screen. This happens with both the YouTube app and any video player that can play FLV. It only happens from time to time and I can't reproduce it.
I went straight from stock (TMN Portugal) to Oxygen, never messed around with any other ROM (I tried CM7 for half an hour or so) but these little things start to bother me, plus it breaks my heart to know that the camera and GPU could be much smoother just by using different drivers. It also scares me that Huawei disabled the standard method of installing Recovery and rooting, so I'd prefer not to upgrade to the official ROM right away. So, is it worth to change ROM at this point? Can you help me with any of my problems with Oxygen?
Hi!
I tryed "all" ROMs I found here in XDA, Oxygen for me is not enough, it just lacks of "options" I love the Cyanogen Settings, you can do a lot of customizations there. Im on custom ROMs for 5 months now, never had a problem with the phone itself. Strange rebooting, camera stopped working and drainage of the battery does NOT count in here. I would suggest you try CM for more than a half hour since - in my opinion - it is the best. I hate the original Froyo, because it lacks of customization. So MIUI is not an option for me, it is just to simple. I was thinking I know all about flashing, but yesterday I just bricked my u8800, simply because I did not notice the + on the end of the official 2.3 update and installed update for u8800+.
My suggestion is, to follow guides here on XDA (they are excellent) and try all the ROMs, and see which one suits you best.
I'm also very happy with Oxygen, I'm still on r1 and have no major issues at all, so thank you very much dzo!
But I hope for the future that dzo will continue to update this rom so we can get better drivers for camera and other small fixes. It looks like the official rom will never be an stable option for us...

Hi,
After some issues with CM, I moved to stock 5.1.1. I added xposed and gravitybox for my desired tweaks, and now everything works as I like it except the LED.
It's just dead. Nothing gets it to shine except when charging (so I know it's not a hardware issue).
I've tried with GravityBox's Ultimate Notification feature (I have the paid version), and also other apps like Light Flow, Light Manager, and LED Test, but nothing turns the light back on.
Any ideas? something else to try?
Thanks.
Hi
I ask this question here, as I’m knew in the forum I can’t write it directly in the ROM post where would be more appropriate.
I have installed the in the phone the CM13.0 ROM built by mparus, I have used the cm-13.0-20161118-UNOFFICIAL-mparus-without_root-g760.zip build, the last one in this moment. The phone works correctly, I only had a pair of minor issues:
-phone app was not working, caused a reboot when trying to use it: it’s a vanilla cyanogenmod problem, it’s solved choosing the phone app as default for making calls
-camera app doesn’t detect the camera device: I have read that is a bug of the official camera app, can be solved installing another app as open camera
I have a serious problem for which I have not found information about. It’s with the notification lights, they are not working except for indicating the charging status of the device, not for mails, missed calls, etc. I tried all the possible combinations for this without luck. I have also tried third party app’s like light manager and they don’t work also, perhaps something is broken in the build but I’m not sure.
Any of you has experienced this problem with the mparus mod in the ascend g7? Can you give me any advice? I’m a bit frustrated about this
Thank you
Do a clean re-install of the ROM I'd say..
Hey all! I know at least a few of us are playing with Nougat on our phones currently. Others have put off installing Nougat because Xposed isn't (yet, hopefully) compatible with Nougat. I went ahead and upgraded, but was reminded how much I missed GravityBox when trying to use my phone last night. I generally charge my phone overnight, but in the dark the charging LED is way too bright and hurts my eyes. None of the LED controlling apps I found in the Play Store, even one that required root, did anything.
So long story short, here you have it. If you root your phone, and install this apk, it'll let you enable/disable the LED at will. I know for sure it works on the Z5C running stock Nougat, and it might well work on other phones and OS versions, though I haven't tested anything else yet.
If there's any interest, I'll continue to develop and test it further. I have plans to add a screen brightness slider, since I found how to dim the backlight lower than the usual lowest setting, and this also helps in the dark, and works better than screen filter apps. Other suggestions would be welcome.
Hope this helps someone else out!

Thank you I've actually given up on Nougat for the time being and am using Marshmallow as my daily driver, so I haven't touched this in a while. I would suggest though that you check out f.lux for rooted Android, because it really helps me out at night
So recently I went from stock to Lineage and now (after Nougat) I'm back at stock.
When I started using Lineage all of a sudden the green (charging) led also worked for notifications.
I really liked that. Is there a way to activate that again, but on stock? I can't find anything online...
Thanks
Edit: Using a XT1580
No. That's a custom ROM feature. In stock is only used as a low battery notification, and there's no way to control it.
Same thing with Quark, the predecessor to Kinzie. All the custom ROMs use the green low battery indicator as an LED notification light, thanks to @bhb27 (one of the main Quark devs). That's probably where the Lineage dev for Moto X Force got the code from.
Someone could probably make an Xposed or Magisk module that uses that code, but right now I don't know of a way on stock firmware.
