(This is my first question in this forum, sorry for my English and all the suggestions will be welcome. Thanks! )
Hi, I have my Moto X running Cm12, and I notice that when it's charging and a notification arrives the led turns on.
So, I was wandering if there it's any way to emulate that it's all the time charging. I don't know, maybe we could use the hidden notification led, that would be awesome!
Anyone have any idea?
Please, i'm not pretending that this post becomes a discussion about the led and active display relationship.
Thanks!
It's been this way a long time, and no one has been able to make the led notify off the charger. So to me, it seems unlikely that it's possible.
Perhaps someone will manage it one day, but it likely involves a really good understanding of the architecture... And the Moto X Development Community is fairly small.
Just my take on this. ?
Can't get lightflow to work on VIVO XL. Can't even get LED tester to work. But built-in charger notification works, so -something- is able to invoke the LED(s). ??
Lightflow
I would like to know as well. I used to customize the led light all the time with my previous phones. I would like to do the same with this one. When you find a solution please let me know. Meanwhile I may try rooting the phone to see if that helps.
HI All,
I am facing an issue while unlocking at the time of my mobile with fingerprint, the vibration is too heavy is there anyway to disable it.
I have the same question! I think is not possible to do this... Motorola is kidding with us. The one way to "disable" this is putting our phone in economy battery mode.
yup, moto made a mistake forcing to use vibration unless battery saver is on. there are solutions however. and yes, they are rooting your phone. I understand many dont like rooting, but to make our moto g5s plus phones our way we want it, currently best solution. u can root ur 7,1,1 nougat then used an xposed module called gravitybox. its a great module anyways. now im not 100% it has an option to turn off vibration, i want to emphasize, i THINK it does. also gravitybox allows you to have saver on with no orange crappy color for sure. or you can do what i did and install a custom rom, the aospextended 7.1.2 rom. or aex rim. its a vastly superior rom to stock, vastly. and i promise, because i use aex rom for my own moto g5s plus, you can turn off vibration AND turn off the orange color with batter saver. other than this, there is no way to turn off vibration unless u have saver on with our moto phones.
solution
I used vibrafix together with Nova Launcher two-click gesture in Nova Launcher and Activate vibrafix,The sensor no longer vibrates
So I'm coming from a 5X that had a nice RGB LED, I was able to set different colors for different apps and could tell from across the room what if any notifications I had - no need to look at it for more than a second or 2 or pick it up or anything. I could then respond accordingly: White - email, probably just spam ignore it; Green - text, get to it when not busy; Pink - tinder, drop the baby and run for the phone.
With the x4 I seem to have taken a step backwards - the screen lights up with the clock and an icon for whatever notification (but I have to be standing right by the phone to see the specific icon). But the bigger issue is it only lights up once when the notification comes in - I really don't need to know I have a notification when it comes in (I heard the chime or vibrate) but I would love to be able to walk away from my phone, glance at it and know if I missed anything without having to pick it up. I'm not sure a world where I have to move my phone every time I come back to it could be considered convenient.
From what I have seen online it described the phone has breathing (pulsing every now and then) when you have an active notification, but this was earlier Moto models - I get just one notification at the time it comes in and nothing else ever. Unless I move the phone - which brings me to the 2nd issue, the sensitivity of the motion sensor, I can have the phone on my desk or couch cushion next to me and just placing a remote down near it or typing the phone is constantly lighting up (even when I don't have a notification) I have the Approach for Moto Display turned off and it definitely has to be moved, but just the tiniest of amount - I get the feature is designed for people that want to grab the phone to see the time and not have to turn it on, but there is a huge difference between the slight vibration from typing on a keyboard next to it vs. actually picking the thing up.
If Motorola/Lenovo is going to want people to embrace Moto Display at least make it so it isn't constantly flashing away for no reason.
Anyway are my experiences the norm? While I would love to be able to turn the motion sensor off for Moto Display my big issue is lack of persistent notification notifying without any interaction from me.

Yea, it's working "as intended". It was a poor choice really to disable the notification LED from the phone. I think it's fine on Amoled displays that can have the breathing without affecting battery life too much, but it's not the case here.
Although I generally like the high sensitivity of the Moto Display. I leave the aporoach feature disabled, and everytime I go by my phone when it's in a table or something I just push it slightly to check the notifications, it's way more convenient than to use the power button and gives more information than a RGB LED.
Thank you both, yes I did some more digging and seems like they did away with the 'breathing' feature.
I'll try that front flash app,
This whole thing just seems a little poorly thought out - disable the breathing so as not to reduce battery life, but make the user pickup the phone periodically which decreases battery life.
I get if they want to do something different than a notification LED but not everyone wants to pick up there phone every X minutes to see if they missed something.
Least I now know when it periodically turns on the Moto Display its not to remind of a current notification its just the stupid motion sensor being way to sensitive.
It is normal. In my opinion the Moto display on the new Moto are not as sensitive as older models like the Moto x pure. You were able to literally wave your hand over the screen to see notifications and time and battery level. However I still love the active display. But I also miss the notification light. But because of the active display they felt like their was no need for led notification. The Moto x4 is still a great handset with features that many people actually use like active display. I have used Samsung and Sony and lg and always had issues. Since the Moto x first came out and bought it I have never had issues with hardware or software. Sure the updates may take a lifetime however Motorola in my opinion is the bear handset for me in terms of quality. It helps tho that even with Android one or Nexus out their that Moto has almost near clean stock of Android than any other manufacturer.
I can see the argument for not needing a LED when MotoDisplay would 'breath' and periodically show the notifications, but now they have done away with that it seems like an LED would really help. That being said I am trying to adjust and get into the habit of nudging the phone when I come back to it.
Hello guys, asus rog phone doesnt activate 2nd led flash. I think it only for lighting armor case. Is there any way to activate it without the case?

Not that I know of, like you say, it's only for official case

I hope xda devolopers try to figure it out
Second light you see is not a flash light, it's a RGB light. For the lighting armor case, this light turns on to make writing and logo on back of case light up in different colours. So yeah mobile has only 1 flash light.
Doesn't the case have an NFC chip in it that activates the light? I've never dealt with NFC, but would it be possible to mimic that chip data with a stand alone chip that you can use to trick the phone?

Yeah, I'm theory, but it would only be an rgb led, not a flash...

Good point. Use it for mood lighting! Lol

RGB can make white flash (just combine all red green and blue).. hence can be used for mood lighting, party strobing, camera flash etc
Anyone able to fine any solutions for the 2nd rgb light to work without the case?

I found it currently it was quite evil design and almost undetectable till someone give me free rog phone 2 to open and investigate .u need a very weak n small mgnet bar (enough to keep a small needle hanging), and nfc chip just to trigger for awhile (hardware ver)
Another option u can try , set your aura light mode on
then go std calculator dial .012345+=
Then go menu test rgb ( software version) ihope someone can create a consol to activate hidden rog item including the extra usb c port too

It worked after put on Aura Sync light in Armoury Crate, with .12345+= in Calculator App and select single test, Aura and Bump Red LED Test, Aura and Bump Blue LED Test and Aura and Bump Gren LED Test.
We need to figure out a way to make use of this LED outside of the test menu.
Reverse engineer SMMI test app maybe?
I exported java resources from SMMI Testing app and found the parts responsible for the Aura bump test. I am too amateur to understand the code and its dependencies. Can anyone help build an app to do this externally and in more controlled way from these resources?
I hope there is some solution for this soon! Having a RGB light on phone can give a very unique lighting conditions for photography which I would love to test

This app uses root access to let you control the ASUS ROG Phone II's RGB logo
Looking for a way to customize the illumination pattern of the RGB logo on the ASUS ROG Phone II? Check this rooted app out!
www.xda-developers.com
Works on stock. Requires root tho.
Another option (I think) could be asking someone with the lightning case to clone the NFC chip, post the data here and You could make Your own NFC chip - might also work.

Hey, can you share data to write to a custom NFC chip so that i can mimic as if the case is on? I'll arrange a magnet. If I can just mimic the NFC case, I'll be able to control the RGB LED!

Surely it's easier to flash twrp and root, then install the custom RGB app, no? I can walk you through the process if you're not sure how to...
To enable and disable your Asus Rog phone 3 led flash (WITHOUT ROOT AND OR COMPUTER) you will need the following applications and settings to be on.
YOU MUST ALSO BE ON ANDROID 11+, ANDROID 10 NEEDS USB DEBUGGING FOR SHIZUKU AS THERES NO WIRELESS DEBUGGING IN ANDROID 10 FOR ASUS ROG PHONE 3.
Apps:
Shizuku (https://shizuku.rikka.app/)
aShell (https://gitlab.com/sunilpaulmathew/ashell)
Settings you need on to do this:
System lighting must be set up and enabled
Developer options must be on and you must enable:
USB Debugging
Wireless Debugging
Step 1: After you have done the prep, start Shizuku's pairing service and type your pairing code found inside wireless debugging into the notification Shizuku sends.
Step 2: Start Shizuku service and grant permission to aShell inside Shizuku.
Step 3: Open aShell and type "setprop vendor.asus.aura.CSCmode 1"
And just like that, you now have your secondary flashlight enabling when you enable system lighting and it disabling when you disable system lighting. Furthermore it does persist outside of apps after stopping Shizuku service and disabling both wireless debugging and usb debugging, however I do not know if it persists when your phone restarts or boots up again. And. This is a rootless method that is easy to do.
Now to disable the led flash you repeat step 1 and 2 but now instead of typing "setprop vendor.asus.aura.CSCmode 1" you instead type "setprop vendor.asus.aura.CSCmode 0" inside of aShell. Simple as that. Now it's off. Enjoy your custom lighting.
Everything after this line is just me explaining how I found you can enable this feature
Just now when I discovered my Asus Rog phone 3 even had a working led flash using smmi test I was fairly maddened that I couldn't get control over it because you need a specific case to unlock it, just seems unfair to pay for a feature that's locked behind a paywall.
And as such I took it upon myself to find a method without root using ADB to unlock this feature and I found it.
The way I even managed to find how the led can be turned on or off is by using any apk viewer/editor and selecting the smmi test system app and viewing its contents inside assets/[ASUS-I003DD]-config.xml and at line 46 I noticed this:
<TEST_ITEM Disable="0" ErrorCode="2186" Name="Aura_Bump_RedLED_Test" Param="getprop vendor.asus.aura.CSCmode;setprop vendor.asus.aura.CSCmode ;1" AutoTest="0" />
"setprop vendor.asus.aura.CSCmode ;1", and it looked an awful lot like a adb command you would use to set a system property, considering the led turns on when you run the test I knew it was correlated to that adb command that it sends.
By using Shizuku "https://shizuku.rikka.app/"
And "aShell" https://gitlab.com/sunilpaulmathew/ashell
Aswell as wireless debugging I now had a adb app that I can use to get system access to parts I otherwise couldn't get, I ran the following command inside aShell "getprop" which shows me all the system properties and I saw once again. "vendor.asus.aura.CSCmode"
Using what I understood about smmi test's command I ran "setprop vendor.asus.aura.CSCmode 1" and low and behold, the second led flash started to work. It's synced to the Asus logo at the back that glows, if the Asus logo glows red, the flashlight will be red, so on and so forth. Furthermore, you can control the brightness of this light so that's even better and it's quite bright at max. Better yet, you don't need root, thus making it much simpler to get and still pass safetynet, whilst enabling a otherwise disabled feature. I haven't tested if it disables itself after restart BUT it does stay for the whole time you use your phone, to disable the second led, just type "setprop vendor.asus.aura.CSCmode 0" and now it's off.
