Jelly Bean has killed Light Flow

Installed Jelly Bean this afternoon and so far so good.
However, Light Flow keeps crashing, so I can't use it. I've followed all instructions, restarted, removed and reinstalled but still no luck.
Anyone else having the problem, or know of an alternative?
I only need it for Gmail and Handcent SMS.

It's not Jelly Bean - it looks like the latest update to Gmail caused it.

Ah ha, good point. I just assumed it was the update to JB, but you're right, Gmail updated pretty much straight away afterwards aswell.
In that case, hopefully the lightflow guys will be on it pretty quick...

Lightflow fix is now available on Google play

I've just installed 3.5.2LITE and still having the same issue?
What version are you running and is it fixed for you?

I've just checked back on Play and fix in the next few hours, so I'll give it a look in the morning.
Thanks for the pointer though

You'll need 3.6.0 to show in the play store.
Manic evening for me with over 10000 emails in 5 hours!

Great, thanks for fixing so quickly and that's quite a few emails
One minor issue, I'm unable to change or the settings for 'Google Now'. If I click on it, it does nothing?

I've been using the free version up until now - just bought the paid version!
Great app and good back up deserves to be supported :good:

Hmm, removed the free version and upgraded to the paid one... now I don't get any LED flashing for Gmail!

I'm still running the free version at the moment and getting no notification for Gmail?
I'm also still unable to change anything for 'Google Now'?
Can anyone else do anything with 'Google Now', or is it just me?

I've updated to JB but don't have a app called Google Now, am I better leaving the phone as is?

I don't appear to have an app as Google Now in my drawer, but it's showing in Light Flow?

You start google now by holding the home softkey on the display and move your finger up to the magnifier.
Tip: Don't even try it out, let it disabled. Your phone will have ~30% less runtime when it's activated.

Yeah, I stumbled across it that way aswell and it's disabled, as I've no intention of using it.
I just wish I could also uninstall 'SmartAction', but that's another story for another thread, as keen to get my LED notifications working first.

Thanks for the Google now I'm leaving it as well

Ah well, not just me then. I dropped the developer a mail, I guess he's probably sleeping after spending the previous night fixing the crashing problem caused by the gmail update.

You can't uninstall SmartAction but you can disable it go going into settings\apps\all apps, find SmartAction and click on the disable button at the top right.

If you're rooted maybe, but you can't if you're not. The only option is to uninstall updates.

New version of Lightflow (3.6.1) in the Play Store that is supposed to fix the problem with Gmail notifications.
Still doesn't show Gmail notifications via the LED on my phone though.
---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------
Quick update - I've been in touch with the developer and he suggested the following, which worked with the latest version (3.6.1) for me:
Go into lightflow->notifications gmail, select the gmail label you want (disable and enable it if already enabled) and see if that works.

Proximity sensor not working.

My capacitive buttons will not light up unless I cover the sensor first. Is there any known fix for this? Is this enough to get the phone replaced?

Bump.
The developer of Capacitive Button Brightness recently made a version of his app that turns the capacitive buttons on with the screen, regardless of lighting. Idk if he implemented those changes in the Play Store version, but I'm linking his post below.

That's weird. Try changing something (select one of the different brightnesses); it may trigger a request. Just change it back to default if you wish.

Which one are you trying (apk or play store)? You could try to reboot and/or clear the application's data (settings -> apps). Idk beyond that; it works for me.
EDIT: It could be an issue with the apk I attached; I noticed that the file name is different from when I got it from the developer. I linked his post; grab it from there.

The apk you linked. I've used the play store version in the past no problems, but I've installed a new rom since then. It seems I'm getting this problem now with both versions, so I guess the source of the problem is elsewhere...

hurm.. this is embarrassing. I've recently installed a new ROM, so I must have messed up somewhere as I'm getting errors from all apps as though the phone isn't rooted, which I don't understand how that could be since I'm already on a custom ROM... I'll reinstall the rom for now and see how that goes..

It may be as simple as installing Superuser from the Play Store (if you don't have it).

Turned out using SuperSU rather than superuser seemed to fix the problem. Getting back on topic I suppose, this version of the brightness app solves the issue of the capacitive buttons! They now illuminate when the screen is on, turn off when the screen is off! you're a lifesaver.

scroll capture option is missing

Hi
I have got my new note 5 few days ago and enjoying it. However, the scroll capture option is missing. I tried in different apps and websites but it is not there. Someone asked the same question and he said it was fixed by clearing catch without further info. I cleared catch and data for both air comand and screen write but it is still missing. Any help is appreciated. Ss attached

Are you using package disabler pro? You may have disabled something you needed for that to work. Try reenabling everything to see if that fixes it.

Are you at the bottom of the page when you did the screen shot?

It only works if you use the screen write option with the S Pen. A regular screenshot doesn't do the scroll capture thing.

thanks guys for trying to help. I cleared cache and data for both air command and screen write and restarted my phone and now scroll capture is there

Can you please explain me how you got your scroll capture back? I didnt understand this "air command,screen write".

Massive Galaxy Apps update

Went to Galaxy app store and checked under "My Apps" I had updates for messages, Bixby Vision, Live Messages and about 8 or 10 other apps. They weren't there yesterday, so you all might want to check. I'm not sure what's different yet, but it was a hell of a lot of updates.

Thanks for heads up, here's what I got

same here...
hope something's good

I have like none of those apps on my Verizon Note 8 Verizon sucks......

I didn't have nearly that many but I also have been looking at it the past few days so I'm pretty sure I've done most of them recently

Just checked, had like 12-13 updates! Thanks for the heads up

That's the only useful new feature of all the updates.. rest all are related to integration with bixby.
It was pain to reach all the way up on this everest tall phone to pull down the notifications, real pain with one handed use. Now the issue is solved.
Thanks for the info

did you guys notice that if you go to optimize your battery it stays a 90% and if you agree to mcafee scan it bumps it up to 100%

Yep and it broke my subs black theme for messages. I had to uninstall reboot and reinstall. All good again. I get concerned when they update the UI because subs applied can crash the UI then we need a factory reset.

touchwiz also updated. the new drop down menu in home screen settings might be new for some people but I downloaded a previous apk version from sammoble.com that already had the notification pull down option. FYI sam mobile uploads most of the apks a lot quicker then Samsung lol.

Bad experience with the new One UI update

After the update, those 2 useless bars appeared I've tried to find every setting to turn them off but I can't find any (I already looked in the Edge Screen and all those advanced function settings) nothing helps
Please help me Thank you!
P/s: its function is Back, but I don't need 2 extra Back! My nav works fine!
(Solved) it turns out that the One Hand Operation+ app causes this, I uninstalled it and they are gone

I dont have the issue, i haven't factor reset too. Few people have it and it was solved by reset. It is highly advisable to factory reset. Those lines are actually a navigation gesture. If you swipe download from the line, it acts as back button and swipe straight horizontally to go to home. Swipe upwards for recent apps.
Make backup using smart switch and use google to sync game progress.
