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!!
Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 16Gb..

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

Yeah, this is a bug on the current version. It will be fixed on the next update.

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 have also noticed this on my rooted att sgs4
sent from my black at&t sgs4
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?

If the lights you are talking about are the one one under the under (under the navbar/near the mic and speakers:
the lights only show up for when you open the app, walkman (dark purple) and gallery (the general colour of the picture)
This Xperia is slight different to some of the old one that have lights that change due to the beat of the music. This Xperia only shows it on opening for about 1-5secs.
But if the light you are talking about is next to the Sony Logo, then they only come on when charging and new notification
anything else , e.g. the light never comes on even when opening the apps, then best bet is to flash .ftf and untick the data and cache so you don't lose data. or if you have your warranty call up sony
Hope i helped
Think I can't post links yet - there's an app on the Play store called LightBar XPERIA by Tiwy57 for controlling the light at the bottom of the phone, but it's not fully adapted to the M2 and causes the normal notification light at the top of the phone to get stuck on. Someone posted a review saying he'd disabled the top notification light - how would this be done? I know my way around adb etc. Cheers!
