activating the pulsing led? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone please tell me the names of some (7.0 or higher) roms that activate the led to pulse or blink? I'm receiving a Nexus 6, and i know that this feature can't be utilised while the phone is "stock". Thank you for any feedback.

Try Nephilim 1.4. It has ALL you need and MUCH MUCH MORE THAN THAT!

It's not usable in custom ROMs either, because the hardware doesn't support it. It can be emulated using apps like Lightflow, but at a cost of increased battery drain. Now, is there a custom ROM which supports flashing LEDs? Probably, but I couldn't tell you which ones have it.

Beltz has blinking light. But it may be software blinking, which may prevent deep sleep.

Trackball light

Hi,
I have a crazy idea
I see that the Htc hero, is very beautiful when the trackball light is switched on ...
It's possible to leave it switched on always, and make it flash on the notifications ???

Agreed, it is pretty,... But my battery life is poor to almost none existent at the moment,... I wouldn't want it any worse!
But I reckon there are apps for that already,... I think its Handcent that has the option to make it flash more,... there must be others.
I think it would be a better idea to use the trackball light as the Nexus One mod if we can. That mean you can have multiples notifications types according to the trackball light color I don't know if the hero has a multi colors LED unside the trackball, but it would be really great too, much nicer than just let it on

Nope its a single color led
Since its an led, it would actually use very little power. It's worth a try if anyone can get it to work

it WILL make an impact on your battery life if it is light up all the time.
it would be nice to have this led to blink like nokia E52 or N78 joystik button. It looks like "breathing" (also like Apple Macbook pro led does when laptop is spleeping). I would like it

We on covedesign are currently working on such a code where you can turn on and off all the different lights on your HTC Hero. Its currently an alpha but here is a little sample, however it requires root access and it is tested on eclair/legend based roms. We will release the full source code soon when its all done.
Try it out

[Q] LED light on stock

so... I've had my N6 for about month and a half and last week decided to root, weird thing was, I DID NOT KNOW that there was a LED light on it ... while using stock, the LED light did not come on at all and only when i installed CM12 that i seen the light.
I want to go back to stock but i want the LED light for notifications. has anybody encountered this problem? how do i fix it ?
Stock does not support LED.
For me this is not an issue, why would I want an LED always flashing to show me I have notifications.
Went through the trouble of installing CM12 and you want stock?
Unless something was missing in CM12 like flaky bluetooth I would stick with custom ROMs

You don't want the light but i do ... preferences ...
installing wasn't trouble at all, my problem is that i feel like cm12 needs to get better and less buggy, the rom just started coming out so I wanna wait until most bugs are fixed, I was enjoying stock for a while, just wanted to test out cm12 to see where it was and for the way I like it, it's not ready.

Yes it does require root and you need the paid version of the app. I cannot believe the N6 didn't come stock with led notifications and double tap to wake. Beside the washed out/ way over saturated screen, I think I might return mine to ATT before my 2 weeks are over
Can't complain... Its huge but I kinda like it
Yes I was shocked at the light too.
Definitely should be enabled out of the gate.
Unlike the TINY one behind the HTC speaker grille with very limited viewing angle this one is bright and actually better IMO than Samsung's.

One thing to note is that for now with Light Flow the only colors for the LED are red green or blue. Or if you manually change the color with the built in light flow mixer you can make strange combinations with the top half of the LED being one color and the bottom half another.

LED - Turned Off

Hi Guys,
Why do you think Google has turned off the led notification in the stock build of android for the Nexus 6?

Ambient display.
So why then include a led?

I believe it actually works. But it is a charging/battery LED. Charging when the phone is off perhaps. Low battery maybe. I don't recall under what situations it actually works, and maybe I am mistaking it for one of the Moto X devices but I am pretty sure there are situations where it works.
Regardless though, it is there, it just isn't a notification LED by default.
Root your nexus and install light flow.

led notification

any1 know if thats an option or did nokia stopped using that, i missed it.

nokia told me, that i should get a 3. party app for that, but the thing is, there is no led programs that works, seems that the led lamp is gone totally, and the glance , hmm what to say, its so darn small , in my point of view, useless
the most annoying thing is,
the bluetooth part, when seaching for other devices, it only shows mac addresses. not names og nearby devices
If the phone gets unlocked and the kernel source code released, it should be relatively easy to make the capacitive buttons work as notification leds.

I think that the LED is not built in, so, it's a strange suggestion

That's so sad maybe write to them suggesting to implement a workaround via the capacitive buttons. This is such small feature yet so powerful for someone like me, this is the only real glace screen I need! lol
I have tweeted them if you guys want to join in and try and get some support to make them think about it at least

What Is HMD thingking!?! Users bomb the HMD whit messages about this! There is LED in front panel and FM radio needs also root access.

True but we need to try especially since they are releasing them in China and India.. lot of potential future / current customers to get onboard requesting the same. Huge market out there.
A possible workaround
You can use the flash LED on the back as a notification LED:

I don't own the phone, nor am I developing this. Was just a statement that it shouldn't be too hard as I've seen it done on other phones.

What troubleshooting steps have you taken?
How do you know it's not as bright as it should be?
When did this start happening?
How long has it been going on?
Just saying, "this doesn't work, please help" doesn't give us any information. Imgaine taking your car to the mechanic and just saying, "my car doesn't work correctly. Fix it." Then just walking off.
I have compared my note 7 and note 8 led flash light with other phones, And yes, compared to others it seems to be less bright, but, the intensity is adecuate for the camera, the light intensity is designed to work fine with the camera's parameters it is not meant to be used as an illuminating lantern for other purposes, the important thing is to check if your dark enviroment photos using flash come out as they should
