CM12 and LED Notification - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Will there be native support in CM12 for the LED notification? I'm using LiteFlow now and it works but would rather the LED pulse instead of being on solid until the notification is cleared.

They're working on it

Commits have been made. mostly Ready, but not enabled yet.

Thanks. Thats what I thought. I was looking at the changelogs of CM12 but didn't know if it was put in the code and just not implemented or not. Thanks.

Actually, the code is *IN*, the next build anyone makes should have it actually enabled.

My rom, chroma already has this feature. Has been built in for several days now.

I see the led on when charging. Blue light. CM12 nightly

Notification lighting... why not the four buttons?

I was wondering, why wasn't there a project to use the lights from the four buttons at the bottom as a notufication light instead of the backlight?

Some of the custom roms actually have this

It's called BLN. But I think your phone has to be rooted.

Are you looking for bln on a non I9000 rom? Just not going to happen. BLN has been available for a couple months now and reading would let you know that part.
This is my captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
I don't like BLN since the light stays on all night if I get an email and drains the battery more than usual. I wish I can disable it (I'm sure there is a way, I just haven't looked into too much)

You can. Use BLN notification app (paid version) or Blinky. They both now have the option to turn the lights off after a certain amount of time.

constantly losing bottom bar with back/home/toggle apps

I'm currently running the latest omnirom nightly on the N4. I also noticed this while running Dirty Unicorns ROM which is also Omni based. Can anyone tell me what may be causing this?
I've noticed the same. Though I'm using an unofficial gt n8013 port. Specially when using tweeting. Screen lock unlock gets bar back

I noticed this too a few days ago. I'm on a official Nexus 5 build.
Have you guys enabled active display? IT seem it might be the culprit.
I filed this as a bug in JIRA

I'm also getting this on both my Nexus 7 (2013) (Flo) and Samsung Note 2 (t0lteatt).

AD is the culprit. There's a good chance it's going to get ripped out soon because it's proven to be such a buggy mess.
Happened to me once during whatsapp. Suddenly there was only an arrow showing upwards - well maybe more a roof than an arrow. I made a screenshot but the screenshot showed the icons properly. Odd!
A restart fixed it.

[Q] what flashlight app do you use?

droidlight - its all budget all the time but its from Motorola Mobility, so it should be 100% safe to use.
Torch toggle from gravitybox.
Does it make much difference? I am using the Motorola one but I'm wondering why you would ask - do different apps provide a brighter light?
The one I linked above is super simple.open it, the light turns on.open it again, it turns off.easy as could be

I'm not sure what is the Motorola one? Do you mean Droidlight LED Flashlight? Looks it will automatically turn off when screen time is up.

That's the Droidlight LED Flashlight, I saw some comments that it will automatically turn off when the screen time is up, do you have the same issue?
No, but motto puts a time limit on the led. I assume it is to protect the led from over heating.

Been using this one since my Driod 1. Lets you use screen or LED and seems to be very lightweight (would have posted the actual link, but I never really posted to XDA... just mainly read. Need to get rid of the stupid post restriction)
I use the flashlight in Power Toggles. I keep a set of toggles on a lock screen widget (WiFi, sound mode, Bluetooth, flashlight, GPS) and the flashlight is one of them.

TeslaLed, you can set a widget with it that automatically turns it on. It also has strobe options I believe. But it also works great with Tasker as it is built in as a plugin or 3rd party options. I exported an app with Tasker App Factory so I can activate it via voice as well.

Moto X Led enabler

Hi guys,
Just spotted this on the app store.
It allows you to use the built in led for notifications. Working on factory ROM but requires root.
I didn't make the app, just sharing..

Funny you ended up over here too lol.
If root is still required light flow has the best options as far as timeout etc.

Yea, I finally had to get a phone that had access to the bootloader. Good to see you here!
Is this LED consume lots of battery?
There is significant drain with this app?
If you want blinking check out Tesla I added proper blink functionality over there I think most aosp Roms have picked it up now. I'll try to add it to stock eventually for the stock lovers

Any luck adding adding Moto X Pure to your list of supported devices? I'll definitely buy light flow if you do. Configurable front flash notification would be a big bonus. There's also a hidden notification light under the top speaker grill that could be utilized.

Can you confirm you have added Lux and Clark to supported devices?

Notification light issues

Anyone having issues with the notification LED never working?
I've tried flashing a couple of stock Roms with no improvements.
Thinking my next step is to return it for replacement under extended warranty, but wanted to ask the hive for ideas.
Sent from my XT1097 using Tapatalk
I think the notification led isn't supposed blink when notifications are recieved. It is only for stock rom, when you get low on battery.
take a look at this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/help/moto-x-2014-led-notification-t2878908

The notification LED never turned in when I had stock, it was only until I installed cyanogenmod that I found out it existed. Whenever I recieve a text it lights up, it's only green though.

Same here, never knew it existed. Works on every text and email though. Using the Nexus Experience ROM.
Ditto. Thanks all.
