Hello,
First of all im new to this scene so dont hate me for my lack of knowledge. Currently im running Cynaogenmod 12 on my Nexus 6.
In Stock of this CM the LED Notificatio Light is enabled. But this LED isnt blinking, just shining all time. Is there any way to fix that issue?
P.S.: Today I want to change to Chroma ROM and Vindicator Kernel. Anyone who knows if this issue is solved in another Custom Rom?
Best Greetings,
Barely_Alive
The LED doesn't blink natively, it has to be done via software.
There is a post in the general section where people were using LightFlow and perhaps using Tasker to accomplish this, I think there is a custom ROM that claims to have a blinking LED. My guess would be either way could potentially be a little buggy, in that it won't work all the time and/or probably wouldn't be too friendly on the battery, as your device has to stay awake for the software to tell it to blink.

I used Lightflow on the Vanilla Lollipop and it doesnt blinked too. And when my device is in sleep mode the LED is shinhing but when I´m waking up my Nexus the LED stops shining.

Right, but there is some settings that can make it blink, I think they combined it with Tasker. There is a thread in general that was quite popular where they talked about it.
Edit: This one or perhaps this one talk about how to do it with light flow (and whatever else they use). This is the custom ROM that includes it
Great! Thank you for your help

MeanPop has a blinking LED for notifications if you don't mind a stock base.

Hi,
is there a possibility to change the notification-led settings? Like that the LED should shine instantly or blink so long till i unlock the phone?
Thanks...
(I´ve the One for 2 days now and want to install TrickDroid)
There's not much you can do with the led
And you should flash trickdroid
Hmm, but why? Is it not possible to change the kernel "a little bit" so you can config the led?
You can download a led app from Google play but you got to be rooted it doesn't work very well
There's also LightFlow, but apparently there's some serious compatibility issues with the One at the moment. Perhaps when there's an update.
so as of right now, there is no way to extend the duration of the flashing led notification without rooting? it really doesn't make sense that it would turn off after a few minutes. it seems obvious that it should remain blinking until you've viewed the notification...or is it just me? can this be done if the phone has been rooted?
Hi
As title states can anyone post a mod to stop blinking red led notification on stock based roms for low battery?

Im looking for a manual method, but thanks for the suggestion
LightFlow... no root needed
Sendt fra Q XPERIA Z2 D6503
I wanted to use Tasker to disable the charging led at night. But can't seem to figure it out. LightFlow works, but obviously doesn't have the automation flexibility of Tasker.

Try Charging LED, it may work.
Optionally, you can define all batery level colour to pure red (#ffff0000), this is by far the less bright colour and you will no longer be annoyed by the led at night.
yeah i really hate that blinking ..i treid lightflow but that didnt worked at all ...

Lightflow seemed to crash my phone every few days. I'd get a notification and boom - the phone screen would no longer turn on. I'd have to do a red-button reset to reboot the phone.
Lightflow is a no go. Crashes

Use gravity box. it works for stock roms. all you need is a rooted device.
Hit thanks if it helped

I got the Nexus 6 about a week ago. Same day I got it, I did the trick to upgrade it to 5.1 (remove SIM, check for updates). Just kinda noticed now that I never see any LED blinking for notifications. It does do the low power black screen heartbeat though. Any clue why no lights?

flash a custom kernel. I believe Lean, vindicator and elementalX have led notifications for sure. I think the others do too. Cant remember.
Lightflow is needed on the stock rom to make the led work.

The custom kernels allow LED for charging but not for notifications.
Use Light Flow app or a custom ROM that has native LED built in.

It does and it works very well. I set super user to disable it's notification of granting access though. Didn't need to see that, just the light.
Don't you need the paid Light flow app for notifications?

Yes you do.
I'm not quite sure what the actual requirements are for native notification lights (lightflow is an ugly hack that I personally would not use), but it certainly is neither a custom kernel NOR a full custom system image. I *think* that a custom built lights HAL may suffice, or it may also require a custom built Settings application. I.e., under Settings --> Sound & notification, it is missing the option to enable/disable "Pulse notification light".
So wait, are notification light not used in stock Nexus? Is that because they replaced it with the heartbeat?

Yes, no notification LED on stock. Was supposedly replaced at the last minute with ambient display.

More a matter of the just disabled it for fun. Nexus 9 does NOT have ambient display (presumably because it is not amoled), and also has its led disabled.
Just got the Nexus 6 a few days ago. I could have sworn that before I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, and rooted that when I got a text or email the LED would blink. The last day or so I noticed it isn't blinking when I get a notification. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
I understood that although there is an LED under the top speaker it isn't activated. The only solution I remember seeing is using Lightflow on a rooted device. Are you sure your memory isn't playing tricks?
I don't believe the LED on this device has the ability to flash, just stay solid when active. Stock doesn't have this enabled, I have seen the setting to activate the LED in CM 13, but when I've used it there, it just stays solid when a notification comes in. I've never tried Lightflow so I do not know if that can flash the LED or not.
You can do software based flashing through lightflow but, it is a bit janky and has random intervals. Solid is probably what you want to do with the nexus since it isn't supported by the hardware (that's my understanding at least). In response to the OP, there is really no way you had the LED flash without having root
Only custom ROMs or being rooted allows activations of the LED. By default it is not used.
I ended up flashing Pure Nexus rom and it has the led enabled but it is solid only. Works for me. Thanks for the reply's guys.
And it is quite possible my eyes were playing tricks on me. I was transferring stuff from my old phone and maybe I mistook a notification on my old phone for the new one.
Hi!
As i wrote, the screen just turning on without doing nothing.
I'm not touching...Only move it within my palms and the screen turnes on.
Anyone heard about that?
Your help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
It's called ambient display. Makes your screen turn on when the phone is moved after your screen turns off.
Basicly a replacement for the lack of a led light(talking non rooted non custom rom here)
OR.. it could also be an app, thats turning your screen on. there are many apps that do this, you should read your apps permissions.
Just turned off ambient display.
But...does it mean that now I wont get any notifications during phone at sleep?
Tnx!
Ambient display doesn't use much extra battery, it only illuminates the pixels its displaying and it keep the phone in a low power state.
It is your phone's stock visual notification system, so yes if you turn it off you won't get any visual notifications. If your phone is set to vibrate or make notification noises it will still do that. The phone does have an LED behind the speaker, so if you are rooted you can install something like lightflow to use your phone's LED for notifications instead/as well.

I don't use light flow, but I have heard of many having issues using that app. what I use is s ROM that allows for colored notifications, then I set my colors within the ROMs options. BTW, pure nexus ROM.

oh snap, I just realized this is the same guy who was posting in the lightflow tutorial thread and was told how to do it multiple times.
He does not have "run all commands as root" check in the settings, and insist its not an option. He just needs to go through the settings and enable that like the popup window when you first launch light flow tells you.
You gotta look through your settings man. I don't know what else to tell you, I don't use that app anymore but I have. And unless you go through all the options in the settings menu... The app isn't going to be able to write to the kernels file system to turn the light on.
Maybe I'll just flash the pure nexus ROM.
I just dont get how to use this App.
Tnx!
I don't want to sound mean but if you Cant figure an app out I don't think you should be flashing ROMs

You click settings.... Your looking for something to do with running commands as root.
Did you check under the "device settings and root" menu?
Does he even have the paid version of light flow?

He said in another thread that he bought it... but that doesn't matter. I don't and I used it via the options I stated to have LED notification for basic stuff.
I have a question regarding ambient display. I know how it works and all that stuff, however, how many time the phone wakes up with the black/white screen? Because mine gets a notification, it shows it to me then without doing nothing it shows the notification again and again, every minute I guess for a long time. Is this normal?
Yes thats normal. Just like a notification LED will stay on, Ambient Display will show every now and again until you acknowledge the notification in case you missed it. Again, it uses almost no battery to do this, I have used the phone with it on and with it off and never really notice a difference.

Reinstalled and after i gave the SU permission - I chose the following:
'Root mode' is on.
'Run every command as root' is on.
Let's see if it would work now.
Thanks!
Hi,
