I used LF in the past before I rooted and had issues with it.....does it work better on a rooted phone?
I used Blackberry's before Android came out and miss the function of changing the LED to colors for specific apps.
Please advise and thank you!
Idk if it'll work better on rooted devices, but I know on AOKP, there's a feature built in to change the color depending on the app and also just standard notifications.

Idk the difference in use if you're rooted or not but as a rooted user Light Flow hasn't failed me personally. I've been using it since the dev fixed the LED issue on GSIII's in Nov or Dec and I think its great. Since I use TW roms, LED color tweaking isn't supported within the rom settings so Light Flow cemented its presence on my phone. As tylerawhon said, AOSP roms often have this built-in so those folks may not have as much a need for Light Flow.
I'm giving Light Manager a try, and it seems to have what I'm looking for in an LED app. We'll see how it goes!

Since the new VRBMB1 or the last update VRBLK3, Light Flow has been working without the need to use root or the special US S3 mode. I found out myself that for VRBMB1 you must have the Notifications enabled in the LED Indicator settings or you won't be seeing any LED statuses. Just as long as you uncheck all the other stuff, it won't conflict with Light .

I am the developer of Light Manager. It is an app to configure notification LED color and its flashing frequency for different notification types. Quite a number of people reported that it is not working properly on Samsung Galaxy S 4, however at the same time there are people reported it is working perfectly. I am confused since currently I do not have a device to test.
So I created this thread to gather more comments about Light Manager on Samsung Galaxy S4. If things go serious, I would consider getting a S4 device for testing. I would like to make it compatible with S4.
For more information, you may go to the original thread at Samsung Galaxy S IIII section at:

Works ok for me (i9590, rooted stock) except for Aquamail notifications.
Using it for missed calls and SMS , works fine
Using it only for SMS, calls and battery states and works fine. Only sometimes when I plug the charger, "stock" LED indication appears instead of Light manager indication...Very randomly. Im on stock MDM firmware with kernel 3.4.0-526204 if it helps.
Alternative mode is working fine on my GS4 but it would nice to have a little break before swiching color between to different notifications.
example: green green green break break blue blue blue ecc...
Working fine for me too.
Another thing that isn't working (also on GS3) is the battery pergentage setting when the led should start to blink to aller that the battery level is low. Also if I set 5%, the led starts blinking on 15%.
Using it for missed calls and SMS; works fine. But doesn't work with whatsapp!!

The best way is to turn off "stock" LED indicator for battery in your phone settings.

After you have granted root permission, remember to click "Restart light manager". For whatsapp, you need to turn off the notification LED in whatsapp settings as well. Let me know if it is not working.
It is working fine for me on the t-mobile variant of the GS4 in the united states. Wicked v2 with faux's kernel

THX for advice, I will monitor it...
For the most part, the app is working fine!
I don't know if this is normal, with these leds, but some colors are way off. Red, blue and green are fine, but yellow is greenish and white is blueish. So sometimes it's hard to distinguish which notification is showing...

I will test it out shortly, I have been using it on my S3 all the time but after upgrading to CM10.1 it didn't work too well, it clashed with the system led settings...
Just found this app because of your thread. Tested it and it works with whatsapp,sms,calls !
I'm reallyhappy right now because I was used to LightFlow but that app has to be enabled in de accessability settings and ruins the gallery.
Yours Sir is just perfect!
Thank you! :good:

I guess this is some LED hardware variation for different devices. You may adjust the hex color code in Advanced Setting to suit your S4 device. Could someone help to post a set of accurate hex color code for S4? Then I might be able to add a one-click button to preset all hex color code for S4.

I thought Samsung has fixed the accessibility issue on S4? The talkback issue is still there? This is the main reason I am not using accessibility in Light Manager but might include it when Samsung fixed the issue.
I have the 9500 not rooted /stock do I need root to get this application to work for whatsapp?
On my original G Flex I was able to use an app called Light Manager, and that worked flawlessly. It seems Lollipop doesn't want to play nice. One of the features I became most accustomed to was the ability to know exactly what app had a notification before even turning on the screen.
Anybody had any luck controlling their LED color and flash rate based on specific app notifications? If so, what app do you use?
Light Flow
UPDATE:
I got Light Flow working. I'm not sure what exactly I did, but it involved toggling the sound settings until I was on loud (sound on) mode. I toggled the Notification LED switch in the settings. I have Light Flow running in Root mode, but I'm pretty sure it was working before I toggled that. I also have it controlling led:flash_0, led:flash_1, and wled under the Additional LEDs found section.
As LED control was one of the most important features for me, I'm not going to futz any further with what I have working. However, if others experience the issue, they're welcome to try each of these things individually to isolate what actually got it to work.
Lightflow not working with Flex 2
Hey Cmcarboni,
would you be so kind as to post your settings with which your Flex 2 functions with Lightflow?
The led:flash_0 and led:flash_1 I can get to work, but I am just interested in the front notification LED and tried nearly every combination of settings without any success.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: It's the H955 with Android 5.1.1 (V15c-EUR-XX)
I'm trying to get the notification LED to work while the screen is on.
I've managed to get it working while the screen is off. While that is nice, I want it to work while the screen is off too. I've found this guide and tried it, but it doesn't work on my OPO, which has a different ROM version. I have Xposed and XLED installed.
My situation:
Light Flow Legacy
Omnirom 6.0.1-20160116-find7op-HOMEMADE
Does anybody know a way to get the screen on notification led working? I know it must be possible, because when the phone setting is enabled to show the LED while charging, it does show while screen on or off. However, Light Flow notifications only show while the screen is off.

Not related to your question but get on the Omni nightlies there are some great new additions to the ROM. Don't dirty flash from a homemade though. Clean flash and go through settings, Advanced, more, phone app etc. Also you can edit power profiles with your own CPU and GPU settings for specific apps.
I've never seen a way to have light flow work with screen on. I bought the app ages ago but don't use it ?

Where do I find the nightlies then? I thought I had the latest installed, because I found a thread mentioning the latest stable release being from 2015, so I figured the homemade version I have from 2016 was the latest. However, searching some more yielded http://dl.omnirom.org/find7op/ . Are those the actual nightlies you're talking about?

Yes those are the ones I'm surprised you replied in the nightlies thread but are still on the homemade builds. Get the latest one and clean flash preferably you won't be disappointed and don't freeze advanced there are some options in there you can try

Won't work
Neither of those apps works properly. Light Manager seems to have no effect at all on notifications, and Telegram settings simply don't work. Led is working, but it does the hell he wants.
I really don't know how to control this led, I can't find something useful in settings...
Sry for my english
I'm using Light Flow to control the led, and it works quite flawlessly.

I've tried Light Flow, not working.
Are you on Nougat? Because I think this is a software problem of Honor 8, not Light Manager or Telegram's fault. (I've used it on another smartphone with Android Nougat and it has always worked flawlessy...)
Yes, I use Light Flow on Nougat without any problems.

Used Light Flow in MM and now in N without problems.
I really don't know what to say, neither Light Manager or Light Flow are working for me (yet), and I've led notification only for groups on Telegram. I'm confused
Telegram updated several times, but the issue is still here; I really don't know what to do...
I use light manager in emuli 5.0 and it works
I used both Light Manager and Light Flow but did not work (MM B131).
I'm still fighting with this Telegram thing. I really cannot understand why led is working for groups, but not for single chats, I don't know even what to do right now... don't know if it's Telegram's fault or it's a phone problem.
I'm confused

I already know that for a lot of people led notification is working, but for me it doesn't. I'm not crazy, this thing is not working, period.
However, this morning I found out that Light Manager has been recently updated, I tried it again and this time everything is working perfectly; so I've finally found a workaround for my problem, for now.
That's good
The LED is confirmed by Motorola. I asked them a question and got an answer.
My question:
" This little dot on the right side of the flash in front is what it is then? You can see it in good lighting (moto g6). "
Response from the Motorola:
" Thanks for asking, that's interesting. The little dot on the right side part of the front flash is a sign of life LED light. It would only show/activate when the battery is deeply discharged and it's plugged into the charger. "
There is hope that in unofficial rom you will be able to use it.
Woah, woah, woah, hold up. It had an LED the entire time? So, why can't we use it? Unless it's a single color LED.

Probably all Moto G6 variants have this. Unfortunately, I can not find anywhere information whether it is a single-color LED. Motorola is pursuing a strange policy, the previous models also had a hidden diode and hardly anyone knew about it.

For now I do not see newer firmware and update system for Moto G6, I do not know how it is with the Plus version. This diode is useless. You have to wait for effective solutions from unofficial developers. Probably all you need is a well-functioning root and the right application to add functionality to this diode.
EX Kernel Manager can trigger the led to do things, I have root to it works. I've got it blinking on charge and solid when done.

I can also confirm this works through EX Kernel Manager on my Moto G6 Play XT1922-7 Boost Mobile variant, I'm using the "Battery charging blink full solid full" option in the app, this is pretty neat lol! :good:
Edit: The LED is to the left of the camera on my G6 Play
Can also confirm using ex kernel manager with xt1922-7 boost variant that it does allow the led to work with charging. As well as a few other options lol just which we could choose more than one led option. Would be nice to have it for charging AND notifications lol
Maybe contacting the dev or if someone knows how that works can build an app to control it?
After installing root on my moto g6, I launched this application:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.itsmeton.motoledenabler&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cyb.satheesh.lednotify
The diode works!
We need someone who will do a more polished application for our phones.

Hi! I recently rooted my G6 Plus in order to use this charging LED. My goal is to make it blink softly when a notification arrives. I tried using Tasker according to this guide, but it didn't really work: I got it to ascend the brightness level, but it won't descend at all, even when running the second while-loop separately. After this, I can't even manage to change the brightness level until reboot. Strangely though, the script works as intended when run from adb shell. I started using "echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/charging/blink" when a notification arrives and 0 when the screen is unlocked. However, this is not ideal since the default blink is not very soft and the maximum brightness is too high. How could I make the bash script work properly in Tasker?
@pake10
You will not change the brightness or color of this diode (it's one color) so do not get tired. It's a waste of your time.
@kemoti
Thanks for answering — however, I did manage to change the brightness and make it "blink" with the script. The color can't be changed and that's okay. It seems that my problem is with Tasker since it works fine from adb Shell.
EDIT: I got it working by creating my own application, for some reason Tasker and other similar applications didn't execute the bash script properly.
hahah motorola has been putting this led on every phone i eventually had bought. the first moto g had it for notifications but g4 plus and g6 play have is as a sign of life
I got the diode working via the Resurrection Kernel when my phone is charging, but the diode is so small that you can't even see that there's anything going on. The capability is still a nice touch though.

I have a G6 with Nov , 2018 patch (OPSS27.104-92-2), I can control the LED from tasker with:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/charging/brightness # turn on
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/charging/brightness # turn off
