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!

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.
Hi,
I had installed Android N Developer Preview and Lightflow. I am rooted, everything else is stock and before it was working fine. LED was properly lighting up for different notifications.
Yesterday I installed DP3 and rooted it. However, now, Lightflow can't seem to control led anymore. When I enable direct mode in lightflow, all colors on notifications are disabled and only black color is available. Also, after selecting mixer and direct app control option, I don't see the screen which should show me all the options to change color.

And the logcat is where?
Dont be surprised if many things that worked all the way up to p2 no longer work. They will have to be updated.
Hi, I am a noob. Can you please tell me how do I capture logcat for lightflow? I can enable logcat through adb it seems, however, do I need to add some filters or something?
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.
I have a Note 3 which I'm looking to make into my backup phone/dedicated GPS. It's currently on 4.4.2 and I would like to believe that, in the intervening major versions, many of the missing (obvious) OS features which made Xposed so necessary are now available as stock system options. Being familiar with the awful, pervasive anti-customization/pro-simplicity/for-dummies mobile development philosophy that now threatens even PC software, I'm afraid I'm probably wrong.
Ideally, of course, I'd want Xposed on my yet-to-be-determined 7.x phone, but if that isn't going to happen, I'd like to know if there are built-in options now to partially replace great Xposed modules like:
NotifyClean - In Android N, can I set rules to totally block specific notifications?
NeverSleep - Set certain applications to disable sleep mode when active?
Wanam Xposed - Theming options (assuming I go with a Samsung phone)?
Xposed LED Control - Different LED colors per notification type?
DoubleTapToSleep - Sleep without using a hard button?
BootManager
Network Speed Indicator
If someone familiar with Android N could comment on the list above, I'd be very grateful. I'd rather buy a 'new' older phone than get an S8 or similar and find (assuming there's even a root exploit) that my phone is crippled versus my nearly 4 years old Note 3.
Notifiyclean can be substituted by power notification controls, which I don't know if it comes with stock rom, but I know it's there for the rom I'm using.
Neversleep can be substituted by the caffeine toggle, if your rom has it. I believe you can also find it on the play store to use if it's not built-in.
Wanam Xposed, I haven't used in ages. Can't even remember what it does...
LED Control should be built-in, if not custom roms.
DoubleTapToSleep should be your kernel.
Bootmanager, I'm unsure... Maybe alternatives with root?
Network Speed Indicator can be done with apps or built-in from custom roms.

Thanks... It sounds like I should be able to get by without Xposed, though I don't know if I'll ever be able to install a custom ROM considering I will probably end up with an AT&T phone. I guess first I need to find a rootable phone.
Is there an alternative to App Settings module, to allow for per-app dpi settings without Xposed, because android n?

My first idea was Tasker, but I am not sure if you can modify the dpi value with Tasker itself. I guess with the help of an appropriate plugin, you should be able to set the dpi on a per-app base.
Hi all,
I want to have a LED notification with Gmail. So I tried Light Flow and LED Manager from store. But both are not working.
Did somebody try to change LED color?
I was able to turn on led notification for gmail with Light Manager Pro 12.1.7, but I'm unable to change color (it's already blue for gmail).

Did you try Light Flow? If not, would you mind to try if you can?
Someone replied to my thread on the same matter last week and said it was working fine as long as you use the basic colors given by the app.
I tried to install it on a device in a shop via apk, but the damn retail demo that I couldn't manage to uninstall/deactivate prevented me from locking the screen to allow a test run (it's a feature in the settings of light flow).
Btw I got an answer from the developers of both LightManager and LightFlow and they told me P20 Pro is not fully compatible with these apps, but I don't know what "not fully" means in terms of what we can and can't do.

Light flow didnt seem capable of setting the color correctly. For instance... the led color just kind of cycled a few colors when I set a particular notificationc olor to blue.
LightManager seems to work so far... but blue is very dim.
Both require a persistent notification. Will see how that affects battery.
Edit: Annoyingly enough, after seeing lightmanager works, I decided to pay the dev for the full version... which does not work. Somehow.

Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Damn... I was hoping to get at least a smooth run, working basic colors and no persistent notification.
I’ll give it a go again in another store by installing light manager before giving up and going with the S9+.
I paid for the full Light Flow version and it still isn't working for my P20 Pro. Guess we gotta wait for full compatibility

I gave up using Light Flow a few months ago but tried again today, out of curiosity, and it works! I recently updated the P20 Pro firmware to v8.1.0.156 (C432), don't know if it started working with this version or the one before.
