about front flash for notifications - Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers

Hello everybody,
is there anyway on the J5 PRO (2017) to use that front flash to behave as a led notification, i know there is option to use the back flash but it only flashes one time when something comes but no more than that,
so i'd like to know if there is any method ( without 3rd party app ) just like modifying build.prop or something like that to make the front flash act like a notification led, because i dont like the way that notifications come and you don't see them when screen is off
ps : i know there is a way to use AOD but it drains battery i prefer led notification to flash sometimes it's better

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!

Notification light

I'm looking for a notification light on this phone.....but it looks like it doesn't have one, can't locate any settings for it.
Any app that can use the nav bar as a notification. I find it bizzare that they didn't include a led nor have an always on display type feature
nobody ???
Looks like root is needed
Talk about a, "Dealbreaker," WTF Nokia? :crying:
using glimpse for now so my screen comes upp every time i move the Phone.
it's out here somewere on xda https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-glimpse-notifications-t3090575

A3 Always on Display Notification Colors?

Hello all!
I'm coming from a s5 mini and the one thing I was really sad to let go was the notification led. It's a great feature and I really miss it.
Always on display can do somewhat the same thing, but not that good. I often leave my phone on a table and walk around and I want to be able to just glance at my phone and see if I have any notifications. Yes, always on display shows notification, but it has a clock and 2 lines of text above them, making it harder to distinguish if you actually have notifications from some meters away.
I was thinking if I could change the color of notifications. The clock could stay white, but have a green notification for a miss call for example, that way the notification will pop out and catch your eye.
Also it would be perfect if I could assign different colors for different apps, that way it would act like the beloved notification led..
thats not possible for now but if it interests you heres and an apk that will make aod display notifications only , just install choose analog reboot and its done https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlNdpKNMp2XWkYY01k9kg3-Ax78rjg

thank you, thank you, thank you :good:
I just found this thread. That sounds exactly what I want - I dont want the AOD on all the time - just to give me notifications.
The link above is now dead - Any chance it could be made available again?
EDIT: Probably should add - would this work on an a5 2017 running Oreo?
after quite a lot of searching i found the original thread about it , just scroll down a little until you see downloads and select just notifications , but there are more greatt aod things there. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/root-customise-display-updated-t3688153
edit: doesnt work on oreo
Ok thanks. I have oreo. Doesn't seem to work.

Know of a way to colorize/theme notification icons for second screen?

I picked up an LG V20 recently, and am loving it. I see it lacks an LED notification light, instead relying on the second screen to show notifications when the screen is off. Apps like Textra let me theme the color of its notification, which makes it much easier to identify at a glance. Was wondering if anyone knew of a way to theme or replace (for example WhatsApp or Hangouts notification icons to be a different color. Thank you very much for any suggestions.

I still think it'd be great if there was a way to make the whole 2nd screen flash a solid color at maximum brightness a few times because yeah it grabs your attention more so than a static icon
I found this thread through a search. I am wondering the same thing as I evaluate a V20. The email notification icon on the Second Screen (I use the Stock email app) is very small. Is there any way to make this larger at minimum and best case, flash continuously like a notification LED which the phone otherwise lacks? Just making it the size of the other Second Screen app icons would be a big help. I would prefer not to try rooting/customizing as I am not confident in my skills and am concerned about bricking the unit.

Multiple images on lockscreen for S7 edge with Oreo.

Can someone please help me enable the 30 wallpapers on the lock screen please?
I had it enabled on Nougat, updated to Oreo and I knew there is no more possibility to add more than one image, but for some reason it still displayed those images like in nougat. Untill I resetted all the setting because the new edge lighting works for messages( really annoyed cause it doesnt work for whatsapp or facebook messeger, wait, any app besides default message app and i tought the setting got corupted)
I saw a post in witch if you use Nova, witch I am, can create an activity with "my interests" app and set the multiple images on the lockscreen. I dont quite know how to do it and I need someone to help me.
Can the classic night clock be added br 3rd party becaus im sure samsung just dropped the support on the phone after oreo..
I miss these 2 features, makes me want to go back to nougat or root and loose OTA.......witch isnt a big deal cause I dont think there will be any more major updates.
To use edge light on every app you must enable pop up notification in app and then edge light works, also with screen off

Thanks! I did that, but it still wont work, although I wont use it with screen off because of privacy issues.
I really like the video on lock screen, can convert gifs and make cool lock screen, but I still miss the old feature. :crying:
