Installed Jelly Bean this afternoon and so far so good.
However, Light Flow keeps crashing, so I can't use it. I've followed all instructions, restarted, removed and reinstalled but still no luck.
Anyone else having the problem, or know of an alternative?
I only need it for Gmail and Handcent SMS.
It's not Jelly Bean - it looks like the latest update to Gmail caused it.

Ah ha, good point. I just assumed it was the update to JB, but you're right, Gmail updated pretty much straight away afterwards aswell.
In that case, hopefully the lightflow guys will be on it pretty quick...
Lightflow fix is now available on Google play

I've just installed 3.5.2LITE and still having the same issue?
What version are you running and is it fixed for you?
I've just checked back on Play and fix in the next few hours, so I'll give it a look in the morning.
Thanks for the pointer though

You'll need 3.6.0 to show in the play store.
Manic evening for me with over 10000 emails in 5 hours!

One minor issue, I'm unable to change or the settings for 'Google Now'. If I click on it, it does nothing?

I'm still running the free version at the moment and getting no notification for Gmail?
I'm also still unable to change anything for 'Google Now'?
Can anyone else do anything with 'Google Now', or is it just me?
I've updated to JB but don't have a app called Google Now, am I better leaving the phone as is?

You start google now by holding the home softkey on the display and move your finger up to the magnifier.
Tip: Don't even try it out, let it disabled. Your phone will have ~30% less runtime when it's activated.

Yeah, I stumbled across it that way aswell and it's disabled, as I've no intention of using it.
I just wish I could also uninstall 'SmartAction', but that's another story for another thread, as keen to get my LED notifications working first.
Thanks for the Google now I'm leaving it as well

Ah well, not just me then. I dropped the developer a mail, I guess he's probably sleeping after spending the previous night fixing the crashing problem caused by the gmail update.

You can't uninstall SmartAction but you can disable it go going into settings\apps\all apps, find SmartAction and click on the disable button at the top right.

If you're rooted maybe, but you can't if you're not. The only option is to uninstall updates.
New version of Lightflow (3.6.1) in the Play Store that is supposed to fix the problem with Gmail notifications.
Still doesn't show Gmail notifications via the LED on my phone though.
---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------
Quick update - I've been in touch with the developer and he suggested the following, which worked with the latest version (3.6.1) for me:
Go into lightflow->notifications gmail, select the gmail label you want (disable and enable it if already enabled) and see if that works.

The developer of Capacitive Button Brightness recently made a version of his app that turns the capacitive buttons on with the screen, regardless of lighting. Idk if he implemented those changes in the Play Store version, but I'm linking his post below.

That's weird. Try changing something (select one of the different brightnesses); it may trigger a request. Just change it back to default if you wish.

Which one are you trying (apk or play store)? You could try to reboot and/or clear the application's data (settings -> apps). Idk beyond that; it works for me.
EDIT: It could be an issue with the apk I attached; I noticed that the file name is different from when I got it from the developer. I linked his post; grab it from there.

The apk you linked. I've used the play store version in the past no problems, but I've installed a new rom since then. It seems I'm getting this problem now with both versions, so I guess the source of the problem is elsewhere...

Turned out using SuperSU rather than superuser seemed to fix the problem. Getting back on topic I suppose, this version of the brightness app solves the issue of the capacitive buttons! They now illuminate when the screen is on, turn off when the screen is off! you're a lifesaver.

Hello,
I ve found a way to disable system update service.
1. Download disable service from the play store.
2. Disable All thread under Device update
3. Disable SystemUpdateService under Google Play services

I just followed the steps and the update notification in my nexus 5 is gone!

If I recall I believe I read somewhere years ago that said if you rename the ..fota.apk in system/apps it will not check for a system update? Perhaps I am mistaken...its been a couple years.

Keep in mind that doing it that way only hides the notification.
It will still download, and it WILL wakelock to do so.

I am using this to disable the OTA notification for Lollipop. It eliminates the notification but the update is still available under About Phone/System Updates, and it requires touching "Download" to download. So, why do you think the OTA will still occur?

I'm saying that it will just hide all system notifications, NOT get rid of the OTA. You'll miss other system notifications if you do get any and the OTA will still be waiting.

If you check app info you will notice you are disabling notifications for Google play services app. This app has nothing in common with standard android system notifications so they will continue to work. Question is, what other notifications does play services app has that could be considered important to the user.
Went to Galaxy app store and checked under "My Apps" I had updates for messages, Bixby Vision, Live Messages and about 8 or 10 other apps. They weren't there yesterday, so you all might want to check. I'm not sure what's different yet, but it was a hell of a lot of updates.
Thanks for heads up, here's what I got

Yep and it broke my subs black theme for messages. I had to uninstall reboot and reinstall. All good again. I get concerned when they update the UI because subs applied can crash the UI then we need a factory reset.
touchwiz also updated. the new drop down menu in home screen settings might be new for some people but I downloaded a previous apk version from sammoble.com that already had the notification pull down option. FYI sam mobile uploads most of the apks a lot quicker then Samsung lol.

Had same prob, found that force stopping the app in Settings/Apps worked better and didn't have to reboot. Advice given to me in the Telegram thread for overlays
I have previously used Sony and switched to the p30 pro now , before I used to depend on a app like Notify, Notable ect ect ect where you have a quick access to make a note from the notification bar and then make that note stick there until you remove it yourself. When I now use the apps I previously used the notes and quick access all disapeare. I have tried to download several other apps but nothing stays there until I decide myself. Have also checked phone/app settings with no luck.
Does anyone know of a app like this that works correct on p30 pro or if there is a settings Im overlooking?

Set the app to manual in app launch. Dont let the system auto manage it. Lastly, check and make sure the app is not optimized in the battery settings.
