[Q] Chroma LED and ROM question - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Phone: Nexus 6 AT&T
Rom: [ROM][5.0.2][LRX22G] Chroma – 02/01/2015 | Native LED Notifications | Layers Support
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/rom-chroma-01-11-2015-t3000003EDIT
Question 1:
The Chrom Rom comes with LED support. I was wondering how to completely disable the LED. I made the LED color black in all the settings and then disabled both battery and notification LED options. When I connect a charger to my phone however, a green LED light turns on. How do I disable this if possible.
Question 2:
Which ROM would be the fastest and most stable. The stock kind such as Chroma or different ones like Cyanogenmod etc.
Thank You
-----------------------------------------------
Solution to Question 1:
You need to purchase franco.Kernel updater ($4.99 USD)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.kernel&hl=en
-->In this app, it will give you the option to turn off the battery LED and allow a multitude of other features which make it worth the purchase.
Solution to Question 2:
No such ROMs exist. In order to make a ROM faster, use a custom kernel and oc it. All nexus ROMs are stable.

question 2.. no such roms exist. to make a rom faster, use a custom kernel and oc it. and all nexus roms are stable, unless the dev really messes up. all source is available for nexus devices, so no need to hack anything to get it working. since all source is available, all roms are stable.

Toggle the off button for both or set them both to black and it won't show the colors. It's as simple as that.
The green led is by Franco kernel. If you set it to black and leave the led on, it'll override Franco kernel.

I have attached three pictures, two screenshots, and one webcam camera upload to show the issue.
If I am understanding what you are saying regarding the options overriding the FRANCO KERNEL LED then is it possible the initial rom installation was incorrect?
Thanks

In franko.kernel updater paid you can disable the charging LED by changing it to 0 in the kernel options from the slide menu.

Thank you so much for those who have helped. The answer was however what @Beauenheim posted. I paid for the app and then disabled the given option. Thank You.
I will post the solution to the original post I made in case others want to see the solution.

Question about Froyo's trackball light & Desire Camera Port

Hello everyone hope all of you are doing well
I'll make this short and simple:
1. Is there anyway to change the color of the trackball for default notifications now? (its always white)
2. Is trackball possible to blend colors? If so are there any app or even videos for demonstrating that?
(i.e. blue to red: blue > purple > pink > red; instead of blue, off, red)
3. For the desire camera, I think it's yet the best camera "app" for nexus
- able to manage exposure level depends on the point to focus
- able to FIX ISO to 100
Is there any method to make it work in froyo default rom yet? Or else, is there any camera app out there which is good enough like the desire one?
Thanks everyone!
1. Blink from the Market.
2. Yes it's possible.
3. Don't think so yet.

1. yes i got blink, but it only let me to manipulate sms/mms, missed call, low battery, and low memory, how can I change the color for notifications?
2. cool, is it only available with mod roms only? no apps for that @ Froyo Stock?
3. got it.. hopefully someone can be able to do it like HTC touch input

2. any app can do it as long as it has it set. hi aim allows you to set the color and it worked fine when i was stock
Crap
I haven't really been using nexus stock camera at all
I just realized the stock video recorder CANNOT FOCUS!
how can that be.. I really miss desire camera!
Hi,
I am on 2.2 Build Number FRF91 and Blink is not changing the trackball colour.
Any tips????
I tried Blink and it didn't work great for me. 1) It will only change the trackball color when the phone is locked. If you are looking for the light to change with the screen on, it won't happen. 2) The blink rate didn't work at all. 3) I turned off the notifications for battery and it still notifies on dwindling battery.
Hope that helps.

[Q] Questions about LED notifications.

Okay I know everyone knows that their Droid 3 has a LED notification light, but if anyone can answer this question, help me out. Does the modification of the LED flash speed and when the light is on (meaning its on while the screen is on) require some type of custom kernel, or just a custom ROM. I've tried multiple LED notifcation apps, and none of them can change the flash rate (even though I set it to different values). I would like to get to the point of adjusting the flash rate, and make it so more important notifications light up all the time (like the 10% battery notification) but I have no idea how to change this. Thanks to anyone that can help me out or at least lead me in the right direction.

I would assume that they're just not compatible. When I get a mention with Tweetdeck I get a yellow light, and a blue one with Plume so I would think if a color could be changed, so could the blink rate.
I have this app called "Light flow - LED control". It basically lets you change the colour of the notification LED for each individual app, as well as setting the blink duration (not blink rate, unfortuately). It does, however, require root. Try the lite version to see if it is what you are looking for.
There is another app that allow you to set blink rate, which is called "Blink - Flash LED in your way". It didn't work as expected for me but I didn't play about with it much.
Hope that helps.

i dont think it requires root. i had it on my phone before i was rooted for the same reasons but i couldn't get it to work with gosms (i would have to disable gosms from blocking other notification apps and that messed up the sms timestamp for some reason) but it's a good app in general. our phones get most of the colors though i could never get the light to stay on for low battery.
all in all i think its a cool app but won't provide what you're looking for.
I have used light flow before, and the color support is fine. You can 'change' the flash rate on light flow, but it doesn't actually change the rate, im guessing there's some kind of software, or possibly a hardware restriction.. I've been looking around all of my system files and can't find anything related to the LED. Let me know if you find anything guys.
It is a software problem. CM7 did work better v

Led Control on 6 Marshmallow

Anyone get LED notifications working? On 5.1.x I didnt need to buy an app, assume it was barrier in the custom kernel. Right now I am using ElementalX-N6 kernel and they specify colour control yet I cant seem to get it activated. I even bought a few apps and then only time the LED comes on is when charging even though I tell the app which colour for each activity and also tried the different modes. Is this just me or does the code need to be updated for Marshmallow? Sorry if this has already been answers but the threads I read didnt work for me.
Thank You,
DFL
+1 from me, I haven't yet updated to mm because I want the LEDs
I am on Chroma custom rom I also use ElementalX kernel. To control the led I use Light Flow from google play. Make sure that you enable from within that app in the device setting and root: "derect mode, root mode, run every command as root" these 3 options need to be enabled. Good luck!

Notification LED control

hello,
i'm using light flow legacy on my OP3T with OOS 3.5.4, franco kernel and root but my notification led is not working properly. the root option in light flow is activated but sometimes it does not what it should.
especially when the battery is below 15% the systems low battery light starts flashing even if it is not activated in light flow. other notifications do not flash in this case.
i don't want to use the OOS notification control because i don't like charging lights. how are you handling the notification led per app? if anyone has really working light flow or another app, could you please post your settings?
thanks!
I have the same problem with notification LED if battery below 15% because now the red pulsing LED have top priority so if i get a whatsapp message the notification LED don't turning to pulsing green. this is very bad because i don't see if i get a message.
I use my GravityBox module exactly for this purpose as It has an option for disabling battery charging light.
So if you use xposed, this is one of the ways how to get rid of charging LED.
thanks, I'll try it!
I assume a custom kernel with "notification led control" is essential to get apps like Lightflow working or does anyone have success using Lightflow with the stock kernel?

Don't know whether lightflow needs any changes at kernel side but it doesn't make sense to me why it should. I'm using my own led control implementation that's built-in in GravityBox and led control works fine with stock kernel and ROM (well, colors work but custom blink intervals not as they seem not to be supported by led driver). It's a premium feature though.

The reason I am asking is because for me Lightflow is not working with the stock kernel. It seems that even with root Lightflow does not have enough access to the leds to overwrite the behavior of OxygenOS. And I wonder what this "notification led control" means and if it improves the situation.

GravityBox has "Ultimate notification control" feature which is a comprehensive solution to notification control. It's utilizing Xposed framework so allows some specialties that are not possible using standard LED apps. Attached are some screenshots of all the settings which can be controlled on per-app basis.
GravityBox itself is my open-source xposed module project I've been working on for over 4 years. It provides plethora of features that can be seen on custom-roms and basically brings custom ROM-like experience to stock ROM preserving things like stock stability and other stock functionality (e.g. camera experience) which is a win-win situation. Ultimate notification control (UNC) together with possibility to backup/restore settings are the one and only features among many that are premium. UNC has trial mode so you can freely test whether it meets your requirements. Link is in my signature.

Oh hi! I used your module some years ago and would definitely give it a try again as soon as Xposed is released for Nougat. From the screenshots it seems to support everything that I want i.e. per app settings for color and on/off duration.
I always wondered if the huge amount of features of GravityBox will not result in some additional instability. That's why I tried to get my Xposed stuff done with several smaller modules instead of your "One for everything" module.

i tried to disable the low battery light in gravity box and the light stopped flashing. but light flow does not work on low battery.
i think i have to give your notification control a try. regarding the custom blink intervall i hope a dev will implement something in his kernel.

[WORKING] Lenovo P2 (rooted) custom led notifications Stock

Hi,
to get custom led notifications you need a rooted P2 and Light Flow (find it on google apps)
I want to thank Andrew Moore (Light Flow)for taking the time to look at this with me and pointing me in the right direction
New (upcoming) version of Light Flow supporting "large" numbers for RGB led brightness will be available soon. Otherwise you may want to edit the backup file as per this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/vibe-p1/how-to/led-fix-custom-roms-t3569108
1>Disable led notifications on you device (Display)
In Light Flow
1> enable Direct mode and root
2> enable rgb led
3> set the rgb brightness to any the following for your notification:
Bright red:13631488
Pale Blue:6316128
Crabapple Red (pink):11796512
Orange:12607488
Green: 35840
Cyan Blue: 32896
Sea Blue: 8388
Dark Purple : 3876477
Before Andrew put me in the right direction, I tried different brightness levels with mixed success. As you see from above, the numbers have no logical sense (at least to me).
If you do find additional colors, please post them in this thread.
HAPPY CUSTOM LED NOTIFICATIONS EVERYONE
Here are the "reference colors"
Works also on custom roms.Thanks for the guide!
Thanks for making the LED work! But I'm stuck at the brightness levels part... In the notification settings per app, under the light settings, I can only set 4 numbers and you give a whole lot more. What am I doing wrong?

As I said, light flow at the moment only supports 4 . Andrew (the maker of light flow) will update the app asap. If you are in a hurry., use the backup/modify./restore method mentioned in the first post. Just change the brightness level. It works.
Hi, any chance to set the red color too (the red color the LED shows when charging)?
Found it in the first post Sorry!
Useful 10x.
Thanks for the tip and tutorial, I got a bit confused on where to set the RGB colors (in the individual notifications) but it's working well now. Also the battery charged threshold was set at 90% by default so it popped up as green when I plugged in at 92%
It is only working in Test for me. Can someone send détailled settings?
Thanks
Did you make sure it was active? If it is you'll see a notification in the pull-down list.
This is really cool, definitely will use a custom Rom because of Light Flow.
Working thanks
Could someone tell me where I insert the RGB values?
I have a rooted Lineage 14.1, but all I can select is one colour with RGB enabled...
There is only one colour available per application, ie e.g. Signal has blue (which works), agenda as well, but Gmail has black... And that's not showing of course
Edit: I edited the settings manually and imported them again as suggested in the opening post, we'll see how that goes...
Does it work with free version of Lightflow?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlegacy
Works for me with the legacy version. But there is also a "light" version of the newest release.
Currently, I see heavy battery drain due to light flow; the device never goes to sleep. Maybe, this is different with the light version... I will try.
Edit: same battery drain issue with the light version...
This does not seem to work with the latest version of the app(I even bought pro). I followed all the steps but it never works. Is there something I'm missing? after enabling rgb control i setup a notification and in the setting's light tab i enable the light and set the rgb LED to solid and set the color to one given in the first post(none of them seem to work). I then use the test button but LED does not turn off(tried both - turning screen off and keeping it on). Any Help?
@Uibon
Me neither.
Edit: Legacy is working, but only when screen is off. I'm rooted of course rooted (Magisk) and I have the "screen on" option ticked.

The title says stock?
Those of you who reported it working, does it work when the screen is on as well?
Edit: Missed calls, incoming call and other things related to the system is working when screen is on. With Textra (and other apps?) it only works when screen is off.
Thanks for the instructions and links.
I bought the app (Just Rs 10).
Cant be more worthy purchase.
All working good.
hi can someone help i have been able to set a few app leds and they work properly but whats app i set to green but it is not working i have also disabled the led setting in whats app settings but still not flashing green for whats app message?
