Consider using a custom ROM. Most have native led control.

Did consider, but I am on Project Fi. I think all custom ROMs don't have bells and whistles for it yet, I mean it works but some settings are missing which might effect how well it works.
Cynaogenmod 12 has native LED Support.
And the Meanpop ROM is mostly made for the Notification LED.

Hi mates..
Currently I own an HTC Flyer, been an HTC fan and would like to try this beast as it seems amazing, one thing though:
Is it possible to use the capacitive buttons as a notification LED? Thats the only thing why I would prefer the Galaxy Nexus over this as in every other aspect I think this beast wins easily..
Much appreciated, thanks..
Good question. If you could flash the capacitive buttons when you have a pending message that would be cool. But I don't know sorry. Just supporting this question.
I'm thinking though that those lights aren't as efficient as a normal LED? Too much battery usage?
I have a Samsung captivate, which has similar buttons. certain kernels would include this feature with an app called BLN. Had to be baked into the kernel to work though
The streak had an app called streakled which worked as long as the phone was rooted.

Just only root? cause the post above you says it has to be in the kernel..
Thanks for the reply mate

It is possible use the NoLed app for notification on the amoled display.
yes, just root. But there may have been differences in the way the captivate and the streak handled capacitive buttons which would allow the streak to have just root access but require kernel changes for the captivate. However, I dont know enough about such things to say what.

Hi, generally, it's possible using app called BLN control. However, that app requires a kernel support which is not yet stable for Note AFAIK.
I'm currently using NoLED which I do recommend - it works very well apart from a few glitches here and there (sometimes, the power button will not activate lock screen when NoLED notification is active - it would turn NoLED notification on/off. In that case I just have to use home button instead).
I would probably prefer BLN as it's simpler and should offer some battery saving against NoLED (possibly negligible) so I hope somebody makes a stable BLN patch for kernel. OTOH NoLED displays differently coloured icons for various events which is nice.

Hi mate thanks for the reply
Do you know if BLN works with CF-Root kernel?as that might be the only kernel I would flash on my Note when I have it..
EDIT: a quick question: does BLN work with lock replacements apps eg. WidgetLocker? I noticed that NoLED only work with stock lock..
Thanks again

As I said, one of the devs tried the BLN patches but said the kernel was then unstable so they are not included in any of the currently available kernels AFAIK.
I'm currently on Abyss 1.2 kernel and I can so far highly recommend it. Let's see in a few days.

I can't confirm that. I'm using WidgetLocker and my NoLED notifications work fine (just tested with a missed call). The only slight hiccup is that after you wake up the screen with the notification the stock lock screen is shown instead of WidgetLocker. I've got a feeling there is probably a way around this - spotted a HomeHelper in the WidgetLocker settings that should handle the Home button in certain situations (presumably like this one). Haven't been bothered enough to mess with these settings yet

Thanks alot mate, really appreciate it

I just ordered my Moto X Dev Edition during the Cyber Monday madness sale. I can honestly say that this will be the only phone I could enjoy on stock firmware, but I was wanting to use Cyanogenmod on it just because it features WAY more convenient toggles and controls. I would hate to miss out on Active Display and Touchless Controls. My question is: has anyone tried going into the Play Store and instaling the Touchless Control apk on a custom ROM? Does it work? I know it's entirely based on it's "always listening" chip, and not software, but I'm worried Motorola might be restricting that feature to stock firmware.

Cyanogenmod has some sound issues, specifically the head phone jack does not work, dialer only works as a speaker phone. The stock ROM with xposed frameworks functions better than any cm 10.2 or 11 or any custom ROM. You get all the customization available with almost any custom ROM but with all the perks that the stock ROM gives, touch less control and active notifications

People say that, but I've never seen Xposed mods that offer the convenient toggles and status bar brightness slider that CM offers. That, and I can't find anything better than the native theming. Any suggestions?

Xtheme another module for xposed but you need to use themes that are ported or developed for xtheme engine

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!
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.
anyone enabled notification light in moto g5s+ ???

The LED notification light on this phone is a bit of a disappointment because it's only white. Even with root, you can't really control it all that well, especially with it being one color. An app you may want to look into is FrontFlash Notification. It uses the front selfie LED flash (or the rear one if the phone is face down) as a notification LED. It's highly configurable and most importantly doesn't require root.
