I cant get noLED to work..

I cant get it to work on my nexus s.. I'm on the latest cm7 nightly and whenever I reboot mynpgone it says noled is on

I had that behavior on stock already. Just learnt to do with out it and now I it does not bother me.

Works fine for me on all CM7 builds. Check your settings and also make sure you have a valid lockscreen for it to work.

what exactly do you mean a valid lockscreen? I am using stock

Some people like to use third party apps which disable the stock lockscreen like "nolock" which doesn't work with noled. Go to manage apps, noled, clear data. Leave all settings intact except enabling the notifications you want shown. Should work out the box. Don't enable blink.

I still have not gotten this to work with google voice..

Does anyone know if having a screen off profile in setcpu will interfere with this?

Turn Off Button LEDs

With the Netflix Apk working on gingerbread now, I've noticed that the LEDs don't turn off and it's quite annoying. Is there anyway to manipulate the LEDs, also, besides the noled app, wouldn't it be cool if buttons could double as notification lights?. Some awesome devs on here. Any hope?

When we get a kernel that supports BLN like Dr Honks Bali kernel then we can use them for notifications

I think the LEDs being on is supposed to be a Gingerbread feature requested by users frustrated by the short timeout they had in prior releases.
It would be nice if they had thought to make it a setting we could easily access.

Hello Guys is this happening on all Galaxy 4G ROMS? I just installed the Bionix Frost and thought that caused the backbutton LEDs to stay on, because I just realized it's happening. Also thought the Bali kernel 2.1 is supposed to support BLN (I even copied the update library file and installed the BLN app from the Market, nothing seems to turn those pesky LEDs off like they used to (after a few secs). This is quite annoying while reading books and watching videos for an extended time. Does anyone have a clue, a script or an app to fix this?
UPDATE: Actually, I forgot to reboot, and now after rebooting the SGS4G it seems the BLB pay app works as described, using the Bali kernel 2.1 that comes with bionix Frost. It's actually pretty cool, if anyone wants to get it... you can set the button LEDs to go off after a preset time and to blink in whatever intervals for however long when a notification comes in. Just make sure you copy the updated library as described on the ROM or Kernel page for the BLN control app to work.

BLN

What are backlightnotifications? What do they do? And why do we need them? I notice they are in the updated kernal.

Read the app description for the app FB states is needed and I'm sure you will figure it out.

So instead of my phone screen lighting up when i recieve a notification my back light at the bottom of my phone will light up. Am i right? OH OK I GET IT NEAT!!

Yes. If you get a text or whatever - your softkets will illuminate and stay on as a notification.

Hmm, i flashed the new kernel but bln still doesnt work. Any suggestions?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA

Did you download the app? Did you enable it within the app? Did you flash the kernel through CWM as FB said? Lastly, did you receive a text to test it?

Yes, flashed through cwm. I had an old version of the app, i updated it now but still no luck. And i didnt receive a message, what should i be getting? App is enabled, ofcourse.

You receive a text to see the BLN. It illuminates your softkeys to notify you of a text.
Or there you can push test notification within the app.

Haha, ofcourse, i know. I thought you meant i had to receive a test message upon installation. No, i already received texts and it isnt working. The test in the app foesnt do the trick either. Bummer, i really enjoyed this on froyo and didva happy dance when i saw it should be working with this new kernel.

The test in the BLN app will take a few seconds to kick in. Tap on the test text then turn off your screen right after and you'll get the softkeys lighting up.
I've tested this so far with Trillian (works perfectly, the screen doesn't turn on when I get an IM and the softkeys do). GoSMS doesn't work though. Older versions of GoSMS used to work for me on Froyo with the Bali kernel though.
Note that the app you're trying to test this on has to support BLN!!! I think handcent might. You should go through the market and read the description for different texting apps to be sure though.

GoSMS Pro does support BLN. You have to enable LED notifications in settings --> default notification settings for it to work. I have tested and am using with no problems on GoSMS Pro.
I also disabled 'screen on'.

Aha, this was it. I enabled screen on but this is a much better solution . It doesn't work when you have screen on + led notifications enabled at the same time.

Aweeome! Glad you have it working.

Ok, the test works indeed, didnt realise it takws about 5 seconds to kick in. Im using handcent and it doesnt work there, ill have a look at the handcent settings next.

The Bali kernel used a different implementation of BLN. I may end up porting that implementation at some point to see if it helps compatibility.

Well i dont see anything wrong with my settings in handcent, so i dont know why its not working there...
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA

oh I see the built in text messenger or call doesn't support BLN, only some apps.

Not sure about stock. Have not tried it.

What kernal with bln support would be the best for valhalla black

There is only one kernel for GB with BLN. Go to FB's kernel thread.

lightflow working on rooted At&t one x - green/orange/red LED

For those of you who rely heavily on led notifications like me, I just wanted to confirm that lightflow works 100% with root access. you can choose the standard HTC green orange or red lights. mine displays a solid red led when I have a text for instance. highly recommend getting the paid app though the free one works well.
only issue so far is you have to run the app manually after you reboot for some reason. won't work after a reboot unless you start the app yourself.
eta: also I think you need to have the notifications you want lightflow to display checked OFF in the display options. For instance if you want missed call notifications with lightflow make sure it's NOT checked under led notifications in display options in settings

This is something I was looking for. Thanks for sharing after I root Mt phone tonight after work I'll be installing this

Might be related to the "fast boot" setting...?

Getting the LED Notification Light to Work?

Has anyone got the LED notification light to work?
I can confirm mine works when using 3rd party apps, but shouldn't it come on when screen is locked and a new sms is received? Maybe there is a setting I am missing somewhere?

Mine was blinking this morning for emails. Its very bright.

download the app Light Flow

I wasn't getting any LED notifications at all, I also tried Light Flow lite and it didn't work. The paid version however works for me, but you have to enable the "Pulse notification light" setting in the Android Display settings menu.
edit. Actually not sure if the notifications are actually triggering the LED yet. The test inside Flight Flow worked with the different colours though.
edit2. OK, yep all seems to be working fine for me.

Its in the settings
Settings>Display>Pulse Notification Light

I'm also using Light Flow but for some reason it ignores my settings like "LED always on".
It just keeps blinking
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

If you are using Lightflow make sure you also turn on the notification listener for it.

Yeah, LIghtFlow looks promising.
I did notice at one point it kept flashing the LED even after i had cleared the notification though. However I read somewhere on here a message by the developer of the app, who said he is busy working on a new version for the nexus 5 which may even be out this week.
Think it included additional fixes LED staying on constantly and better support for the Hangouts app. Looks good.

Where did you read this? What is his username? Sounds good!

With the LED option enabled in the default settings, I was able to get a notification pulse for getting an email in my gmail primary folder. It takes about 10 seconds in between pulses.

I just received my replacement phone after the first one has speaker issues and now the LED will not work at all on this way.
I've tried light flow etc with the same settings that worked on the old phone and nothing. Thinking of just getting a refund now...

Someone please tell me: Will the LED notification work WITHOUT a third party app installed?
I too can not see any lit notifications at all. Settings are correct, "pulse notification" on, nothing... no notifications on text, email, missed call, nothing.
If an outside app is needed for the light to work, that is the most absurd thing ever...

lite flow is still VERY buggy on the N5 despite his latest update saying "N5 support"
only works sometimes for email and almost never for hangouts. Plus you cant have a different color for MMS in hangouts.
Even with "run in foreground" enabled it still doesn't work reliably

What kind of colors are guys seeing? I'm using Light Flow Lite for now and when I do the all enabled LED Test, it cycles through:
orange
teal
red
green
blue
and then back to orange.
I thought I saw others getting other colors like yellow, purple, and white to name a few. Is it because I have the free version and/or maybe issues with 4.4?

Only works for me when I have an unread message on whatsapp.
Hangouts and emails and also missed calls don't switch the led light on my nexus 5 which I do find so strange

Mine only work now with using light flow. Don't get why. But at least it works.

Stock LED settings are horrible, however, I installed lightflow and noticed a SMS message sent to a 4 digit # right after (light flow was the only app with access to those permissions and the text was sent at the time it was installed). No thanks.

It does work though you need to check if it's activated in
Settings > Display > LED thingy (don't have english settings).
Lightflow does give you more control. Also it seems the N5 can't have the LED always on, only blinking mode

Am I the only one that doesnt see the display settings anywhere?

Thanks yes I did have the settings checked properly. Light did not work. Installed Light Flow, made sure everything was set right, still did not work even on test mode. Oh well guess it's defective. I've had enough annoyances with this device, it's going back...
