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 flashed eXistenZ today on my phone and i have everything running smooth except the ledsthe phones led flash too much and sometimes they are on all the time.
I use light flow to control the leds but it wont change the color or the flashing frequency.
Is there a way to see which system app controls the led bar and disable it ???
Thank you very much.
Illumination Bar (pro) is the best application in my opninion. It has a lot of settings and is compatible with our device.
I believe Lightflow is only for the devices with 1 led.
Having 3 different colors
@mrjraider does Illumination Bar Pro allows you to modifie the colors of the three leds? Like when you boot with CWM who light Green Blue and Red led except of having one single color.

nope
No it only uses the three leds with the same colour on. Only root and special apps can do this for example discolight somewere in the themes and apps section.

Lightflow now suports 3 leds, just make sure you´ve checked illumination bar in settings. For me works great
It was not working for me so I got rid of it Now I have no application installed and just using the sony settings
a lot have changed since then i flashed 4.4.2 Aopk and not im running a smooth and stable system... but the leds seem to be buggy with discolight because everytime i check "Music Pulse" the leds stay on in full brightness i have to figure this one out.As for lightflow i hadnt much time to mess with it yet ill reply when i do
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.
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?
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.
