LED Notification for missed calls+texts?

Hi there, I was wondering if there was a registry hack or an app that could enable LED notifications for the HD7. I seem to remember being able to see it in version 7.0 on my HD7 but 7.5 Mango made it disappear.

Yeah, I need it too. With the lastest deepshining there is a led notification only for missed calls and only for few minutes, for SMS no luck. Isn't possible to modify the led behaviour? It would be great because HD7 has got a phisical led, so I think is only a software issue..

Strongly agree on this. There should be an update or an application that would customize the led notifications. I wanted to become a developer but I don't know where to start

[APP] LG Touch LED Notifications

Hello guys!
I've downloaded this app a few days ago and it's very usefull, here I share the info of Google Play:
[...] This application uses the touch LED buttons to show if there is any missed notifications by turning them on and off. It is enabled by default and will autostart on boot but has to be run once after installation to start the service [...]

This app is known here. There already was a discussion with it.
From the app in Google play:
"We are aware of the issues with Optimus Black since the 2.3.4-update"

You were right! It's not working now :S

Thankyou for sharing this app!

I've been checking out this program and it's source code. The problem seems to be some sort of power management that turns the leds off after about 2 seconds when the screen is off and the phone is on battery.
The kernel exports some files to /sys/bus/i2c/devices/2-001a/ that can be used to control the leds. One file in particular is led_onoff. I've found that while on battery, if I do "# echo 0 > led_onoff; echo 1 > led_onoff" from a console, it will reset the leds and turn them on before the system turns them off after about 2 seconds when on battery. Everything seems to work as expected while on charge.
I'm not sure how to troubleshoot too much further than that. It looks to be something either in the kernel or android system files but I'm not about to start cooking my own kernel just to check it out. It's probably also a bit beyond my whole understanding of the code.
But, I've been able to implement a fairly bad hack to get it working in the 'blink' mode. Basically it just adds in some code to reset the leds before starting the next cycle which is enough to get it going (same as the command above). It has the side effect of making all the leds flash for a split second when they come on and uses a timer to control the blink so the phone will constantly waking every few seconds to control the leds and I'm not sure how that will affect the battery. Also works best with a blink time of 2 seconds on obviously because power management turns them off after then anyway.

If you have the old version installed you will need to remove it first as this has a different signature.

Good aproach! Take into account that is normal that the kernel switch off leds on battery... think in the leds allways on... I have had some kernel-related atempts to correct this... but atm no luck.
Regards!

When the screen is off and the device is on battery it is doing some sort of polling every few seconds to check and reset the LEDs rather than just a trigger when the screen turns off and that is what makes the app not work.
I tried a few different ways to reset the LEDs but the only way that would work is to force them off by writing a 0 into led_onoff followed immediately by a 1 into led_onoff. It wasn't enough to just echo 1 > led_onoff, I had to do a 0 first. However, with power connected, just the echo 1 > led_onoff was all I needed.
As far as I could tell, the led_onoff seems to only part of the 970 device code. I'm guessing that the other devices don't have an issue because they don't have to activate the LEDs in that way.
One other thing I tried was removing all write privileges to those files after turning on the LEDs to see if the system was writing a value into them to turn them off. They were still turned off so I kind of figured it's something in the kernel itself manually resetting things.

this should be good if work in customs ROM...to notify us for new message and etc

have a problem

Did you try the one I posted in post 9? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28571222&postcount=9
It sort of works in blink mode (best with repeating non-fading pulse with a lit time of 2000ms).
I'm using it in Zeus v6.35 at the moment.

Hi, please test the attached APK. For now I have worked exclusively on the mode "repeat fading pulse". Please unintall the application if you have it already installed.
I used it for 2 days now and it seems to work for me, so report bugs, but only for the mode repeat fading pulse if have problems. I will try to fix also the other modes, when I have time.
PS: of course all credits go to the original creator of Lg Notification application. I only try to fix this to work on Lg Optimus Black on Gingerbread.

There is a problem with repeat fading pulse. It eats too much battery. Constant light it is much battery friendly.

Notification LED

Hi,
is there a possibility to change the notification-led settings? Like that the LED should shine instantly or blink so long till i unlock the phone?
Thanks...
(I´ve the One for 2 days now and want to install TrickDroid)

There's not much you can do with the led
And you should flash trickdroid

Hmm, but why? Is it not possible to change the kernel "a little bit" so you can config the led?

You can download a led app from Google play but you got to be rooted it doesn't work very well

There's also LightFlow, but apparently there's some serious compatibility issues with the One at the moment. Perhaps when there's an update.

so as of right now, there is no way to extend the duration of the flashing led notification without rooting? it really doesn't make sense that it would turn off after a few minutes. it seems obvious that it should remain blinking until you've viewed the notification...or is it just me? can this be done if the phone has been rooted?

Recently the screen in my N6 always turning on w/o doing nothing

Hi!
As i wrote, the screen just turning on without doing nothing.
I'm not touching...Only move it within my palms and the screen turnes on.
Anyone heard about that?
Your help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

It's called ambient display. Makes your screen turn on when the phone is moved after your screen turns off.
Basicly a replacement for the lack of a led light(talking non rooted non custom rom here)

OR.. it could also be an app, thats turning your screen on. there are many apps that do this, you should read your apps permissions.

Just turned off ambient display.
But...does it mean that now I wont get any notifications during phone at sleep?
Tnx!

Ambient display doesn't use much extra battery, it only illuminates the pixels its displaying and it keep the phone in a low power state.
It is your phone's stock visual notification system, so yes if you turn it off you won't get any visual notifications. If your phone is set to vibrate or make notification noises it will still do that. The phone does have an LED behind the speaker, so if you are rooted you can install something like lightflow to use your phone's LED for notifications instead/as well.

I don't use light flow, but I have heard of many having issues using that app. what I use is s ROM that allows for colored notifications, then I set my colors within the ROMs options. BTW, pure nexus ROM.

oh snap, I just realized this is the same guy who was posting in the lightflow tutorial thread and was told how to do it multiple times.
He does not have "run all commands as root" check in the settings, and insist its not an option. He just needs to go through the settings and enable that like the popup window when you first launch light flow tells you.
You gotta look through your settings man. I don't know what else to tell you, I don't use that app anymore but I have. And unless you go through all the options in the settings menu... The app isn't going to be able to write to the kernels file system to turn the light on.

Maybe I'll just flash the pure nexus ROM.
I just dont get how to use this App.
Tnx!

I don't want to sound mean but if you Cant figure an app out I don't think you should be flashing ROMs

You click settings.... Your looking for something to do with running commands as root.
Did you check under the "device settings and root" menu?

Does he even have the paid version of light flow?

He said in another thread that he bought it... but that doesn't matter. I don't and I used it via the options I stated to have LED notification for basic stuff.

I have a question regarding ambient display. I know how it works and all that stuff, however, how many time the phone wakes up with the black/white screen? Because mine gets a notification, it shows it to me then without doing nothing it shows the notification again and again, every minute I guess for a long time. Is this normal?

Yes thats normal. Just like a notification LED will stay on, Ambient Display will show every now and again until you acknowledge the notification in case you missed it. Again, it uses almost no battery to do this, I have used the phone with it on and with it off and never really notice a difference.

Enable Notification LED?

I've seen that it is possible to use the physical LED on the device for notifications if your device is rooted, but I have not had any success in getting it set up properly.
The closest I have gotten was an app called Moto LED Enabler, which worked at turning the led on when I got a notification, but it wouldn't turn back OFF when I cleared the notification.
I'm wondering if anyone has gotten this working perfectly and what app are you using?

Camera flash is WAY too bright, in my opinion. It's the kind of thing that pretty much would force me to interact with the phone just to turn it off. While with the smaller led, I can just see that its on, but I don't have to do anything about it if I don't want to.

Moto LED enabler works fine for me... Are you rooted via magisk??
The app constantly asks for Superuser rights to turn the led on and off.. So, check if your SU app is having issues maybe..

I'm trying it again, but behavior is same as before. Once it comes on, the only way I can make it turn off is by playing with the brightness control in the Moto Led Enabler app. I granted full access when it asked for root, doesn't seem to be any issue there. And its just doing weird stuff, like it suddenly turned on when I ended a phone call, despite no notification even popping up.

It kinda works for a little time, and then it crashes. Constantly there's a message popping up saying that moto led enabler has stopepd working. What exactly do you do to make it work?
---edit---
To stop it from crashing every five minutes all I had to do was open the app and fiddle witht the brightness slider and voilá, working like a charm.
