Motorola Notification LED - Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hello All,
I have found an app on playstore which enables notification LED. I have tested the app and it is working while the phone is kept on charging. Doesnt work for notifications. I found it good and useful so I thought I must share it with you. Here is the link below

Just so that I am reading these link correctly- Both the OP and the second post are for ROOT required devices? When I click on the link it takes me to a app for a ROOTED device. Anything for a non rooted device? Looking for app for a Moto G5 plus.

All of the apps require root, because they need some magic to access the hardware.
They will work on G5+, i have tried them myself. LineageOS now supports the notification light natively, BTW

Lineage supports it for notification, or just for charging like these apps do? I'm under the impression that the LED is wired to pins responsible for charging status and not accessible to the OS for notifications, but I would love to be wrong.
Meanwhile, is root required in perpetuity for the app to work? Or can it be installed and running and then returned to unrooted? I have a heck of a time playing cat and mouse with apps that require safetynet, so I like to temporary root these days.

Re: LED
For both. Running lineage 14.1 and by default the LED is on for charging (easily turned off under notification settings); but it also flashes the LED when email comes in. So it's great.

That does sound pretty great actually!
I heard lineage had some bugs on this phone so I wasn't really interested before, but now I may give it another consideration. Do any other ROMs do that or just that one?

Using 14.1 on Moto 5g+ for 2 weeks.. no bugs I can detect so far..smooth and stable. Grab the 11/26/2017 build in the thread..

Must have applications for Android L

Hello Xda'ns,
If you are not living under a rock since from the last week, you know that Android L has been started to boot up on our Nexus 4. Most of us (Okey at least me) is using it as daily drive. Since this is stock, and not much framework based mods / xposed available i would like to share some must have apps for Android L.
On a first look i missed these following features which i can't live without :
* Volume rocker wake up
* Battery % in status icon
In my view these two are very basic and must have features in daily life. Volume rocker may be not a big deal if you have good power key. But not for me. So i started searching for solutions found few. But none of them satisfies me completely. Any way i am sharing what i found here.
For Battery % in status icon use this application. Works perfectly : Battery percent for KitKat
For Volume rocker wake up : Okey. I can't find anything I found one But it gives wakelock.
Please share your views, findings to get a good user experience like we had in custom ROMs. I am looking for something like a network activity indicator now...
Cant find anything for network indicator

If you're rooted, this should help with rebooting:

I'm not sure if it works with L though but I've been using it since my Nexus S days

I got the ROM Toolbox by JRummy back when I first got into this stuff and I still use it to this day for the shortcut widget for rebooting.
And it is working just fine on L.
Well there are a few of my favorite apps that aren't working with Android L right now. But some I recommend are:
Gallery KK (stock gallery, I don't use G+)
Greenify
Lars Team's App Ops
Light Flow
The Talon app updated for L is really gorgeous
N⁴
Replacing power button yourself is super easy. It slides right in and cost less than $10 shipped. I just did mine 2 weeks ago spent $8 and I also have an extra vol button now too

It's a common feature for people to use with gravitybox, but since xposed isn't available yet you would need something standalone to replace it. I love having a speed indicator in my statusbar, and I'd really miss it if I switched for good without xposed. This and a few more features, and I'll be all set to take the dive to daily driver.
I think this one is great! Power Toggles

Is there a notification LED on the Turbo?

Love this phone so far but one minor complaint is there is no LED for notifications I miss that coming from my S4! I also wish I could rearrange some of the things in the drop down menu but that's minor.
When will we have root access!!!

nope, it just notifies you via the screen blinking showing you got notifications (forgot the name of this feature)
the same as moto X
I will be getting my turbo this afternoon. I'm also coming from a rooted s4 where I used titanium backup for my backup. I am sure going to miss being rooted ?.
Did you do anything to restore things, especially things from titanium backup, since I can't use tibu with the turbo? A little apprehensive here.
I will be getting the red 32 gb turbo (black one was unavailable on Verizon's website).
I'm hoping the change over goes smoothly.
Kinda sucks there's no LED but what are you gonna do. Its a trade off. When I got my this phone I just downloaded all the apps I had again can't do much with tibu without root access.

I'm a big fan of led notification but I'm not missing it that much with this screen notification feature...
the screen turns on every few seconds and you can see by the icon what kind of notification it is, pretty simple
The LED would be pretty redundant with Moto Display.
I came from the S4 too and I don't miss the LED notification one bit. I love the Moto Display.
I'm trying out the moto display now. Its actually pretty sweet!

Helium works. Just install it in your S4 and backup...
Then run it in the Turbo and you can restore your apps.
Just a reminder, most people had to manually set the device as Mot Composite USB in the device manager menu.
Let me know if it worked for you!
Alex, thx, for your response. I actually got my turbo yesterday afternoon. After signing into it, I just let Google do its thing. It downloaded most of my apps (took 2 or 3 hours), but, wasn't too bad.
I am enjoying playing with the phone and trying to learn how to use it. One thing I really miss about root is not having a good ad blocker (I used MOAB). Do you happen to know of any good non root ad blockers? Haven't googled, yet.

I tried using AdBlock Plus but it didn't work, however a Turbo user said it was working for him in another thread.
Helium can restore the appdata that Google might not be able.

That is what i was hoping for. Even the moto x has it....maybe if we get root we can see if theres any hidden LEDs. Hopefully *crosses fingers*
I believe there is some sort of LED
So I let my DT die night before last and plugged it into the charger.
Low and behold, to the left of the front camera was a green LED in a vertical orientation. When the phone received enough of a charge, this light disappeared and the normal battery charging screen came up.
So maybe there is some LED action here ? I read somewhere else that the MOTO X also has/had a hidden LED.

Interesting...I let my Turbo die before and no LED ever shone on mine. I might have to try it again and see if it comes on. From everything I've read, the X has an LED as well, but people have only gotten it to shine through the bootloader and stuff.

[REQUEST] Moto Display CM 12.1 Port

Here is a zip file on my Google Drive containing a full backup of all the Moto apps (Display, Actions, Voice, Assist) from SU4TL_44. Would one of you kind developers please port these to cm or your own custom ROMs? Please&thank you
[Update] Thanks to @ChazzMatt for pointing out that this has already been done over on the Moto Maxx forums, which got split due to us Turbo owners getting jealous.
Why would you want this? CM already has ambient display which works just as well (I personally think it works better but that's just my opinion).

Oh, I meant all the Moto apps. I really like the ability to customize the voice commands launch phrase like saying "hey droid turbo" instead of "ok google." And the simplicity of Moto actions far surpasses Tasker and the like for things like setting vibrate mode at work.

CM has all the features that stock has other than being able to change the launch phrase, and I doubt anyone cares enough to take the time to port it. If you can't live without it just stay on stock.
Edit: Not trying to be a jerk, but CM 12.1 still has bugs that need to be worked out for the Maxx/Turbo and we still don't have VoLTE officially which I would assume both have a higher priority than these. It may happen eventually but it wouldn't be easy to do so I don't think many would want to take it on.

You guys are asking for stuff already done.
Almost everything has already been ported back in early November for Resurrection Remix which @baybutcher27 did. Moto put the same stuff on all the Quarks and the Droid Turbo is just the last to get freedom. Other devs, other ROMs are there for the Quarks for months now. But the forums got split before that happened (because Droid Turbo owners didn't like seeing all the Quark dev work they couldn't participate in at the time), so you have to venture over to the Moto Turbo/Moto Maxx forum...
However while he ported most everything, he decided to not include it in the ROM as default, letting users install what they wanted.
See this page. Read it carefully.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/rom-resurrection-remix-5-5-5-t3197643/page48

and that's beside the fact that almost all ROMs already have the same functionality, even it the feature doesn't have the same exact name...
Moto Voice = OK Google
Moto Display = Ambient Display

but again, @baybutcher27 has done the work to port most Moto apps. Go read that page. If you install RR ROM, you can decide which Moto suite apps to install with only a couple of exceptions.

Bc i like the way Moto Display looks with the circular notifications instead of a full bar across the screen. I prefer moto display and would most definitely be interested in this. One reason why i dislike CM roms.

I think what he means is that with the Moto Display you get that circular notification where you can swipe left to ignore and swipe right to jump to that notification. Whereas with the CM ambient display you have the full bar across the screen like a regular notification.

Q: Root and then unRoot

Hi
I just moved from LG-G3 to N6, and like it for the most part. There are a couple of things I liked, which I believe I can achieve by rooting my N6
- Notification light
- Knock Code.
The rub is, that my corporate requires me to use AirWatch agent which doesn't work on Rooted devices. Is it possible for me to Root, install the notification light/knock code changes and then unRoot again (and retain these modifications)?
I hope the answer is yes
BTW, my Android version: 6.0.1, Build MMB29K
Probably not. Almost definite not for the light as it requires writing to the kernel's virtual file system to turn the light on or off... But maybe someone can correct me with some other way.
no. once you unroot, your mods won't work anymore. anyways.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/attention-questions-t3228454
Well the tap thing is xposed right? Never tried but I have heard since xposed installs its own framework to run its programs that you can unroot and things may still work. Though I think a lot of things that look for root look for xposed too, so your still likely out of luck.
Thanks a lot for all your help. Next time I will post to the right (Q&A) sub-forum
Sad, that the notification light is in the HW, but not enabled in Nexus

I like that as well. I'm using PureNexus ROM that provides configurable LEDs(like I've it enabled only for battery charging) + double tap to wake and sleep out of box. It has many more customization options and very stable as its very very close to stock. Have been using it for a while now.

[APP][Moto Display]Activate Moto Display by waving over proximity sensor

Hello everybody.
We all know that Moto Display is very useful and shows incoming notification. In Moto G and E devices, it activates when the phone is moved from its position, or when a flip cover over the phone is opened. However I have heard that in Moto X devices, it activates even if you wave over the proximity sensor.
So I thought of making a small app that does the same. It is on Play Store.
MotoDisplay handwave
This might be helpful to some people like me. Do hit the Thanks button if it helped you. Also rate the app a five star ??
TO BE USED ONLY ON STOCK FIRMWARE. NO CUSTOM ROMS SUPPORTED
This is a great app, I was missing a lot this feature when moving from Moto X!
Please consider using the Android ActivityRecognitionAPI to trigger the moto display only if the phone is in the "STILL" state. Otherwise the battery will be drained pretty fast when carrying the phone in the pocket, etc.

Thanks for the suggestion, will obviously look into it.
Regarding battery drain, the proximity sensor is always on even if this app is not used (Moto Display activates if you keep the proximity covered for some time and then remove the cover).
Also the app has been designed so that it won't activate MD if the phone is in pocket.
Thanks for the clarification, I was not aware that the proximity sensor is always on. You are right, the Moto Display turns on when the phone is taken out of a pocket, etc. Now I just wonder why Motorola decided not to offer this as part of the stock application. To protect Moto X sales?

Thanks for the clarification, I was not aware that the proximity sensor is always on. You are right, the Moto Display turns on when the phone is taken out of a pocket, etc. Now I just wonder why Motorola decided not to offer this as part of the stock application. To protect Moto X sales?

Not sure whether even Moto Z has this feature or not
This feature its reserved for the more expensive moto z & moto z play, good job for doing this.

Thanks. I will send the strings.xml file when I get back to my desktop.
Anyone do any testing on the battery differences with the app?
Also works perfect on Moto g4 play

Hello everybody.
We all know that Moto Display is very useful and shows incoming notification. In Moto G and E devices, it activates when the phone is moved from its position, or when a flip cover over the phone is opened. However I have heard that in Moto X devices, it activates even if you wave over the proximity sensor.
So I thought of making a small app that does the same. It is on Play Store.
MotoDisplay handwave
This might be helpful to some people like me. Do hit the Thanks button if it helped you. Also rate the app a five star
TO BE USED ONLY ON STOCK FIRMWARE. NO CUSTOM ROMS SUPPORTED

Does it require root? Does it work if you are rooted?
Thanks!

Might be a stupid question, but does it still work if you are rooted?

Not a stupid question. I did mention that the ROM needs to be stock ROM. So this confusion might arise.
This app has nothing to do with root directly. It doesn't check for safety net. It will work whether you are rooted or not.
There is however an exception. If you use any root based utility to uninstall Moto Display apk from system, this app will no longer work.
Hey! Nice work!
I can translate it to brazilian portuguese!
Loved the app.
I also can translate it to PT-BR
moto g5 plus does bring up display when moved, y do we need this app then?
