Hello i am the dev of LED Blinker.
After the Samsung Update 5.1.1 the LED is not working as expected at Samsung S6 (Edge) Phones. It flashes only blue and not green as setup in LED Blinker.
Maybe some rom expert could help me to get it fixed again, i would give the full version for free if someone points me to the right direction and i could fix the problem.
(All other led apps have the same problem !)
Btw: I have the Samsung S6 Edge here with Firmware 5.1.1, the previous firmware version was working fine.
Thanks for your support and help!

Ok just tested it and it works when it is a test only, but when I tried to setset to it as a permanent setting and did a missed call it reverts to blue. So I tested adding user defined app with the plus add and I found 3 system app's called phone. I added all three and changed them each to a different colour. And bingo that worked. One of my user defined apps of phone changs the defualt blue to the users own choice and it sticks. As all 3 are called phone you'll have to use trail and error to find the right one. But that is the work around for now. Give it a go and tell me if it works. If so you should be able to work out what system app blinker should take intent from for missed calls.
Ok now a new issue, it seems randomly the led notifications wont clear and I have to clear blinkers cache to stop the led. All colours all apps
yeah sorry i am looking into this issues. but its a firmware problem and hard to fix.
Workaround für Samsung 5.1.1 Firmware Probleme ist in Arbeit!
Workaround for Samsung 5.1.1 firmware problems is in progress!
✔ Samsung 5.1.1 support added (see appsettings at the top!)
Does the LED of your Samsung device just blink blue since you updated to Android 5.1.1? Start the accessibility service (if available) AND enable the notification access (under sound and notifications or security). Furthermore you SHOULD disable the light/LED in the activated apps, do NOT disable the notification itself (e.g. in Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter, Google Inbox). With these settings LED Blinker should work as usual.
Update is live!
✔ App icons will be shown for most apps instead of LED Blinker icon, send me the link to missing apps!
✔ Samsung 5.1.1 support added (see app settings at the top!)

New version is online which fixes blue light problem correctly for samsung 5.1.1 (s6, s6 edge).
but this app still do not work correct. If I got sms (or e-mail and etc) LED start blink (color correct), then I unlock phone, go to SMS, read it, delete....... but in notification drawer always show what I still got SMS (email or etc). I don't why, but system do not clean automatically notification drawer. If I disable LED Blinker notification drawer works correct.
yes that is correct. i cant fix that better. its because of the workaround. samsung handles led color control not android standard way.

http://androidheadlines.com/2014/12/sponsored-app-review-led-blinker-notifications.html
Unlike other apps in this category you don't need 'ROOT' access to use LED Blinker and this app is very battery friendly!
All rights are needed to run the app, lesser are not possible.
The new right to write to SD card it needed for error reports (check menu extras: Debug mode), please send it to [email protected] if you have found an error.
Please try out the lite version at first to see if your hardware LED works (on screen LED is always working!).
LEDBlinker Notifications has no internet permission, your data is safe!!!
Please check device specific hints at the end!
Fast support is very important for me! (Look at the ratings, thanks to all people!)
If you have problems please do a full re-install and/or reboot your phone.
Otherwise contact me at Facebook/Google+/Email to get help.
Warning: If your phone speaks after install (Samsung S4, S3, S3 Mini, S2, Note1, Note2, Note3, LG Nexus 4) you have to disable Samsung TTS (text-to-speech) under settings -> apps manager -> all (on the right) and Google TTS (text-to-speech).
Only needed when you use the accessiblity service!
Another solution to fix talkback issue:
You can change the launcher by using another one from the Google Play Store. For example, Solo Launcher - Swift & Smart, Nova Launcher, Go Launcher and Holo Launcher. These launchers will not exhibit this bug.
For Samsung S4 users: If your phone speaks when opening your browser you have to use another browser like Chrome or Firefox.
Hint HTC users: Your phone is NOT supported, you have to use the on screen led!
Sony Phones: Please disable stamina mode in your device settings.
Let your led glow with different colors!
Any feedback is highly appreciated!

SmarterBit
Hi everyone! I have recently released an Xposed Framework module called SmarterBit to allow you to enhance your Fitbit Charge and Charge HR fitness trackers.
Features
SMS/Text Notifications
Custom SMS/Text notification format
Notifications only if the device screen is off
Hide Caller ID for phone calls
and many more to come!
Features I am currently working on adding are quiet hours (either "intelligent" based on your Fitbit detecting sleep or a user-set range), Tasker implementation, smart alarms, and adding more integration with other messaging services (WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Hangouts, etc.)
Link
The app is currently on sale through the Google Play Store for $1.50 and can be found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mikerinehart.smarterbit
I am open to any and all suggestions for feature additions from the community
I just installed the app and I'm testing it out. I see messages typically get cut off. Is this just a screen timeout limit? I sent you a PM too.

Unfortunately yes - the screen timeout limit is a firmware limitation.
How about MMS notifications? I understand you can't translate pictures into text, but sometimes there is text accompanying the picture. You could add the option to customize like SMS so that you could at least see who the MMS is from (ex: MMS received from %sender%).

Heh, I was actually thinking about this the other day. I'll see what I can do
Did today's Fitbit app update break your app? SMS is no longer working for me. I see they implemented new Notification settings in the app update today.
I just bought the app and coincidentally Fitbit app has updated as well, so I couldn't get SMS notifications working after setting everything up. Calls got displayed on my Charge HR as they would with Fitbit's own Caller ID.. Thought of refunding the app but then stumbled across the post above. I can Enable SmartBit in the Fitbit app, but SMS notifications don't show up on my wrist.
Update:
After rolling back the Fitbit app to 2.10 (I don't care for GPS routes in 2.11 as I don't own a Surge) and deleting app data for SmartBit I can tell for sure that neither of notifications worked with 2.11. The vibration pattern SmartBit uses for CallerID is different to the default one-time kick from Fitbit's Notification. Also, when SmartBit actually overrides the default notification engine there's no indication of 'Notifications are running' in the status bar. What seems to have changed in 2.11 is the fact that they now allow you to select from multiple notification sources - Dialer, Skype .. whatever have you. SmartBit must not be set up to deal with these, despite the fact that it overrides the default 'Enabled Notifications' with 'Enable SmartBit' in Fitbit's application.
On a related note, I previously had a Huawei phone (H30-U10), where SMS were being routed as calls by default (I guess for their own Talk Band device), so my CHR was reading them as a classic pager would without any human intervention. Switching to a Sammy phone has lost me this feature so I was forced to look for a workaround.
Yes - the latest Fitbit update breaks SmarterBit. Please rollback to the previous version (2.10 I believe) if you would like SmarterBit functionality... At least until I can reverse engineer their new changes and push an update. I've recently started a new full-time job so I don't have as much time as I used to, but I'll try my best to get it updated for everyone

bitTicker is pretty good. Some bugs but let's you add notifications from most apps.
Notification Pop Ups.. missing on Note 8 SM-N950U1 :crying:
For the life of me I can't figure out how to get Pop Up notifications to show up on screen. When a new item comes it , it just flashes a color but not PopUp I was used to on previous phones.
I tried everything, even booted in safe mode to make sure it wasn't an app causing it.
I use systemtuner ui, it gives you the possibility to manage how notifications are handled, search for it it in the "app themes and mods" subforum
Go to Settings->Display->Edge screen and then toggle "Edge lighting" off:

If you want every time you have a message notification your screen to turn on and see lockscreen with the notification details this isn't working in most of Samsung mobiles.... You have AOD instead....
But if you want this like me you have to use a free 3rd party app from playstore that works perfect with zero battery infect "glimpse notification"....
Just install give permission and ad to "white list" all the apps that you want to wake up your screen when a notification arrives... Don't forget to mark notifications led to work with the app (in app settings)
Default notification head-up doesn't work if you turned on Edge lighting. You can choose either one only.
Edge lighting off - default style notification head-up
Edge lighting on - a small samsung own overlay pop-up will displayed (not the default style) and edge will light up
i use Heads-up Notifications by Simen.codes from playstore

This did not make a difference.. Maybe I turned it off with 3rd party software somehow.. Just didnt know if it's like that by default.

Yes and no....If you use or not AOD there is no way to make notifications wakes up your lockscreen....
I recently switched to S20FE from LG V30. I loved the way V30's notifications worked. I'm trying to replicate the same behavior with S20FE, but Samsung's options are all over the place and a bit overwhelming.
With V30 when my screen was on, notifications worked as normally.. a popup at the top of the screen.
When the screen was off, whenever I'd get notification it would pop up as a single line at the top of the screen. This was really useful when my phone is laying on the desk, I can just glance over and see what it is.
So I'm trying to replicate this behavior with S20FE.
I have "Always On Display" turned on and set to "Tap to show".
I have Notifications "Show on Always On Display" turned on.
I have "Edge lighting" turned on and set to "While screen is off". (This seems to be the notification style like on V30 when the screen is off.)
I think that's all the notification options I could think of.
So, when the screen is ok, notifications work (mostly*) the same.
But when the screen is off, I don't get "Edge lighting" thing happening.
The only way I can get it to work is if I set "Edge lighting" to "Always", but then it replaces regular notifications when the screen is on too.
What am I doing wrong? Am I missing some other option? Or is this how S20FE works and there's nothing I can do about it?
(*mostly because when I get certain kinds of Discord notifications, with V30 I'd see a couple of lines in the popup and if I were to expand the popup, it would show me action buttons like "open in maps", "open in browser". On S20FE those action buttons are visible before I even expand the notification, making it needlessly large. Is there a way to change this too?)
Nobody uses these notifications?
Have you added which app can use edge notification? My girl uses it and has no complaints about it.

I've also got this exact issue. Randomly like 2xs a day it may work but 98% of the time the edge lighting does nothing. Even if select it to just light up the top middle and not the edge. I've also installed edge+ from the galaxy store which is something that seemed to be very useful yet doesn't work. I've gone as far as making sure my battery optimization wasn't doing anything to the app. Also going into app permission allowing it to draw over other apps and allowing for notifications without any luck. Really annoying. Only thing I haven't tried is using it without the AOD option. Do you use AOD?

ultimately I decided to turn off AOD since it kinda have no purpose. Showing time and battery is not critical. I can just tap the screen once to see that.
I'm not sure if it's related but I seem to now get these "brief notifications"(official android term for them) only from Telegram. However, Discord, Google Hangouts and irccloud still don't trigger them.
But another annoyance is that now irccloud notifications trigger as those bubble notifications, even though I have "smart pop up view"setting disabled.
This is so confusing and frustrating.
I just went through all of this last night. Ended up turning off Edge Lighting, Turned off AOD. Installed Glimpse Notifications. Went through it's several setup steps, but now any time I get any notifications, my screen lights up and I see what I was sent.

What does it look like? Screenshots on google play and their website show only settings, not what actual notifications look like.

It just shows the normal Android notifications. Literally all this does is light up the screen when a notification comes in. My problem was that I'd get a notification and hear the sound, but I'd have to pick up my phone and press the power button to see what it said. With the setup, the screen lights up when I get a notification and I see the normal notification that I would have seen if I just hit my power button.
Same issue here, seems like a simple feature yet it is not working properly.
On all my other phones, my screen would wake up with any notification (paired with notification sound). With S20 FE, my screen stays black after receiving a notification (notification sounds).
Do others have this problem?
