Hi and Thanks for coming to check out this thread. Got my Nexus S yesterday and there are a few niggling annoying things that perhaps just might be a setting somewhere I have missed and you might be able to help me
1. Message Light - On my BB when I had a missed call, sms message etc. A flashing light kept going. Is there any way to get this going?
2. Facebook/Twitter notifier - My old phone would notify me (just like an sms message) when a facebook or twitter notification came up. Now on my Nexus, I have to physically go into Facebook/Twitter to check.
Thats pretty much it for now. If I can think of anything I will edit. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.
If rooted there is bln along with kernel that supports it.
I added cell number in the Twitter itself so I get text from then when I get direct message

I think this belongs in Q&A but here goes
1) If you are rooted, flash any rom you want (or stay stock rom) and then flash a custom kernel with Backlight notification (BLN) support
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949292
or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973125
or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936219
for example. Then install BLN from market. There's the PRO version which offers more functionality but requires a token donation to the developer.
If you do not like BLN or not rooted (i think noLED doesn't require rooting, my memory might be wrong), you may download noLED from the market. I personally preferred this as i'm using a super amoLed and it doesn't eat that much batt and the notification is more visible and also i'll be able to know what exactly is the notification (like if it's gmail,email,miss call,whatsapp etc)
For now, to me at least, either apps may (i said may as i'm not sure if it's just my phone or in general) cause the phone to freeze occasionally and you'll have to do a batt pull.
2) It's under your settings in facebook and twitter app. Go to menu button (2nd from left) when you are at the fb and twitter app and choose the frequency of notification and the sound/vibration means etc. Personally, i wouldn't advise having the two applications update as frequently as you would on a BB especially if you're a heavy user on the games/browsing etc. I set mine to update every 3-4 hours with no notifications except for personal messages. Any other times i need n update, i'll do so manually. BB batt life is way better than an android phone but in terms of functionality and customisation, nothing beats the NS.
And if you have not rooted, please do so and read up in the forums on the wonders of an unlocked bootloader and having root.
A little too scared to root my phone at this point. I have about 5 hours experience with an android phone so bricking would break my heart
Looking at this guide atm though

I think there is some confusion here...
There are no flashing lights on the Nexus S.
Simply because that blinking LED light (or whatever it is) is not in the hardware, so there is no "fix" for it.
However it is possible to have the whole screen flash with some modifications/roms etc but I don't think this is what you meant...

There is technically a "fix/workaround" with BLN. It basically is the same as the blinking led lights, video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAqqr2s_4Ks
TeslaLED is an LED flashlight app for many phones. TeslaLED has been out for over a year, but TeslaLED 3.0 beta is a fresh rewrite (giving me an test bed to try some new development ideas and tools).
Features of TeslaLED:
LED Flashlight
Strobe/Morse Code
Keep LED on with screen off (May flicker once)
Different widget styles
Free and No ads
TeslaLED is known to work on the following devices. It may work on other devices as well, but may require changing the "LED Method" in preferences.
Nexus One, Nexus S
Motorola Droid, Droid X, Droid 2, Atrix
HTC EVO, Droid Incredible, Thunderbolt, Desire, Desire HD, MyTouch 3G Slide, T-Mobile G2, Legend
Galaxy S II i9100
Galaxy S Epic and Fascinate (Strobe/Morse code do not work)
Galaxy Tab 7" and 10.1"
Xoom
Acer A500
I'm looking for bug reports (especially features of phones that broke since the Market version 2.0.4)
Download Link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.flashlight
http://teslacoilsw.com/android/teslaled/TeslaLED_3.0.1.apk
Note: My google-alerts show this APK spreading to pirate sites. The app is free so this isn't a big deal, but if doing so can you link back here?
Great app.
Thanks.

It won't hurt to have both installed (This is actually how I tested and compared, using TeslaLED Donate 2.0.4 and TeslaLED (non-donate) 3.0beta ), however having both installed means when going to add the widget you'll see both listed as TeslaLED with the same icon so it's a bit confusing. On my devices the 2nd option was the 3.0 beta but I'm not sure how android sorts that list so it might vary.
Have you thought about pulsing the signal to the LED so quickly that it emulates a true PWM feature or using the built in PWM on the LED in most phones to create pulsing or breathing LED with variable speeds or patterns.
I would love to help you with it and we could add the one good Apple thing to our phones that they don't even have on the iPhone.
Sound Cool?

Okay I've updated the OP with a link for beta3. This fixes the first-run bug some of you were experiencing. (No real need to update if you already have beta2 as it won't happen again)
works with galaxy s2 , thanks

Unfortunately the LED APIs are more like desktop APIs rather than microcontroller APIs (or bits to twiddle I guess).
HTC's is best which gives variable brightness (most likely implemented by an internal PWM) and responds quickly and is easy to use (write to a file in /sys/devices).
Standard/Standard+ are using the camera APIs which are a bit slow and have the choice of either on or off
TeslaLED's strobe at 20Hz stutters once in a while when using the camera API and PWM would need much higher than 20Hz.
With root or a custom kernel I'm sure you could have a bit more control over the flash, but it'd likely be rather device specific and still might not even lead to true PWM control as the camera might have it's own private controller that is slow to accept commands.
Runs great on Stock Samsung Galaxy SII
1000 Thanks man!

Beta 3 runs great on the Incredible (Sense)! Love the new Sense styled widget. Thanks!!!
Got problems on my Galaxy S2, I started the LED, either using widget locker or using the widget on my home screen, then after the screen goes off, the led goes off then on again (which I believe is normal). If I wait a further 15 seconds approximately then the LED goes off again and this time stays off.
At this point both the widget won't work to turn it back on or off, nor the built in widget for widget locker. I can however close it using the notification bar. When I try to close it using the above methods I get a force close error:
"The application TeslaLED (process com.teslacoilsw.flashlight) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
This is the case for both beta 3 and the released version of the software. I've sent a bug report.

I have a Galaxy S2 now and I was wondering why I couldn't reproduce the problems people said they had, even when I was using the old version. It seems the wait 15 seconds, with the device not plugged into a computer, is key. It also makes it much more difficult to get debug logs.
Unfortunately I couldn't find any tricks to get the LED to stay on with the screen off, so I'm going to need to disable that ability on the GS2. Keeping the screen on works and TeslaLED has a (disabled by default) "Dim Screen" page you can use to have a fake-screen-off. Not perfect though (and only accessible from the app).

I think it happens when phone enters in deep sleep state where the CPU is turned off to save battery (so when plugged it's not needed). You should try using wakelock threads to keep it active

Already tried that, no go
The app is now on google play, get it there if you want it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5wZXJtby5zbWFydHN3aXRjaGVyIl0.
If you want to support the developer of this app you can get the prokey here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5wZXJtby5zbWFydHN3aXRjaGVycHJva2V5Il0.
Since this app is still very much in development you can see it as a donation, but a donation that gives you access to all the future development and features of this app. It will also give you start on boot and unlimited actions.
# What it does #
Basically what it does is it makes it possible to launch androids taskswitcher (recent apps) or call another action such as home, back, menu or turn screen off by waving your finger past the proximity sensor. You can also set an action to run when your proximity sensor is covered. With a little practice this really makes multitasking much faster. There is now also actions for media like volume, play pause and such, aswell as a flashlight (only tested on galaxy note, probably wont work on all devices) The media-actions are not properly implemented yet, so all actions may not work on all devices.
There is now some other features aswell.
Smart keep screen on will keep your screen on as long as you hold the phone in your hand. When you put it down, it will let the screen go off. I have only tested it on a galaxy note. Feedback on this would be welcomed.
You can now also run an action to keep the screen on permanently, or atleast until you run the action again.
Feel free to try it out.
# Instructions #
Configure actions for each number of waves up to six. The action you choose will then be executed when you wave.
You can also configure an action to launch when you cover your proximity sensor and for when the device is shaken.
If you have trouble with the gestures and smartswitcher recognizes the wrong gesture, you can adjust the gesture sensitivity. If you put this on low, the response and gesture recognition will be fast, but you will have to wave fast also. On high, the opposite is true. If you are not Lucky Luke like me, medium or high should work.
# Planned features #
Multiple actions for one event
Actions: toggle wifi, mobile data, bluetooth, launch apps, etc
Device facedown event
"Franticwave", action for when you wave past all six waves and then stop.
Suggestions, anyone?
# Known issues #
If the gestures stops working, particularly after using the screen off action, the gesturecounter probably consumed some magic mushrooms and forgot to count the waves and got all confused. You can either restart smartswitcher or wave until it starts picking them up again.
# Other #
The powerconsumption of the proximity sensor is extremely low so the impact on your battery should be fairly low. Did anyone using this notice a reduction of battery life, and I mean that in a more scientific way than just checking under battery in your system settings? Was it 5 minutes or 1 hour?
Zenblom made a video of smartswitcher:
He also compiled a list on working devices:
# Confirmed working devices #
- Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000
- Samsung galaxy s3 i9300 international version
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6800
- Sony Ericsson xperia neo v
- HTC One X
- Sony Ericsson Arc S
- Galaxy Nexus
- HTC evo 3d
- Samsung Galaxy s2
Thanks Zenblom!
# Changelog #
Version 1.1.7 2012-08-25
-Added cm10/JB compatible recent apps option.
Smartswitcher behaves really badly in cm10. Since everything worked great in cm9 that I just ran ten minutes ago I am not sure how to handle this. A use at your own risk warning for cm10 maybe?
Version 1.1.6 2012-08-23
- Added non root actions: Toggle airplane mode, launch browser, launch calculator, launch messages, send message, launch camera, launch contacts. Also end call, but it did not work properly so its set invisible for now.
Decided to freeze the features here, or this thing is never going on google play. If you cant find something seriously wrong with this version until tomorrow, its going on play. After that, I will continue developing the app but the updates will come via google play.
The smart keep feature... I may have to scrap that idea. I cant get it to work reliably. It can be made to keep the screen on on very small movements but then it wotn turn the scren off instead. Will fiddle a bit more before I give up. Its now set quite sensitive so it may not turn your screen off properly now, if so you can just press the powerbutton or disable the damn thing
If you have any ideas on how to make this work better, please let me know!
Version 1.1.5 2012-08-21
- Fixed the bug that caused to ui to crash or slow down when you were shaking the device. Should work fine now, so there should now be no need to close the ui when trying actions any more.
- The smartswitcher listening button will now completely (hopefully) unregister sensorlisteners so if you press this button there should be no batterydrainage at all.
- Made the handling of sensors a bit more effective. Now if you have no action on any event that need the accelerometer, it wont register and use battery power. If you set none on accelerometerevents the sensorlistener will unregister and stop using battery. The same goes for the proximity sensor.
I was hoping that the users with a glowing proximitysensor will tell me if I got this to work right
Version 1.1.4 2012-08-20
- Toggle wifi, bluetooth, rotation lock, ringer volume, audio volumeactions added. The do not need root and does things the right way. Audiovolume does not seem to work, will check why.
- Added something I called quick actions menu, but the first time its launched you may wonder why I did not name it slow actions menu After its loaded once it should work faster, it could slow down every once in a while, I will fix this. Note: if you cancel this menu strange things could happen, I forgot to implement oncancel. The plan is that you will be able to make these favouritemenus yourself and add the actions you want, and trigger your new menu on any event. I need a database handler som I have to fix this first. I never intended for this app to do all of this stuff, if I did I would have done things differently from the beginning. I noticed that this menu is counted as a pro action so you can only use it 20 times before it resets, sorry, did not mean for that to happen. For now there is only a few actions hardcoded in there.
Please close Smartswitcher settingsscreen before you start playing with the actions, strange things can happen if you dont. This is betastuff, so you cant expect things to be perfect even though I do my best for them to be as good as possible
Version 1.1.3 2012-08-18
- Added action keep device alive. If you run this, your device will not sleep until next time you run it, period. It wont activate if the device is already being kept awake by the smart keep screen on function, have not tested this very carefully. If you feel a burst of short vibrations, the device is being kept awake. If you use this, dont forget to turn it off, or it will drain your battery.
- Adjusted the shakedetection. It should now work much better and should notmake doubleactions. Try it and tell me if it is better or worse.
- Adjusted the smart keep screen on function to a little less sensitive. Sometimes it did not turn the screen of because i set the sensitivity too high so it detected movement event when it was fairly still. Try it and tell me if I made it better or worse.
- Added support for up to six waves by request. Tested it some, it seemed to work fine.
Version 1.1.2 2012-08-17
- Added action flashlight. Will probably not work on all devices, but it works on my note atleast. Will add more variants for other devices.
- Added EXPERIMENTAL Smart keep screen on function. There is no adjustable settings yet, just on and off. You can try it by setting your screen timeout at a low value like 15 seconds. As long as you hold your phone in your hand, the screen should keep on. If you put it down the screen should go off in 30 seconds or so. I adjusted it to work on my device, but that does not mean it will work good on yours. There is no settings for it yet. Try it, if you dont like it, disable it. Will also spend some time on next version with the shake detection, Its teally not what I wanted it to be. It works, but barely.
Version 1.1.1 2012-08-16
- Added shakedetection. You can now set an action for shake. Note: Will cause the ui to crash, press backbutton to close smartswitcher settings before using it and it should work fine.
Version 1.1.0 2012-08-15
- No visible changes, but lots of changes in the code. I hate spagetticode, so I spent some time removing and rewriting things. Sensorcovered will now really have zero delay if you set that.
- Made the number of proactions allowed to 20, as I said I had done. It seems it was only 10
Version 1.0.9 2012-08-13
- Fixed sensor covered, now it wont trigger any action if you remove your finger within the delay time.
- Added a BUNCH of actions. Some will work on your device, some will not. (Depending on rom, installed apps etc) The new features are for the pro version (Yes I will make a pro version.) I am a nice guy so everything you had before still works, plus you can use the profeatures for a total of 20 times, after that they will reset to no action. You are free to select pro features again for another 20 times. Sorry about this, but I have spent quite a few hours on this app now, and I would not mind getting a few bucks for my work. Please tell me what price you find fair for this app, if any price at all
- Made it so that gestures will work on active phonecall. This means actions like for instance hangup will actually hangup the call. Sensor covered should not interfere with anything now.
Version 1.0.8 2012-08-11
Note: Remaining bug, sensor covered works but the delaysetting does not do what it is supposed to do. That is, even if you remove your finger from the sensor within the delay time, the action will still trigger. Sorry about that, will fix. Too tired now
- Fixed the bug that caused settings to not save after a while. Should work fine now.
- Added configurable settings for sensor covered so you can now set any action for that event. If you have a device with slow sensor you should now be able to launch recent apps by setting sensor covered delay to 0 and action to recent apps. You can now also set screen off as action on any wave.
- Fixed vibration feedback for sensor covered event.
- Removed Screen off setting as it is no longer needed.
- fixed some other bits and pieces and cleaned up the code.
Version 1.0.7 2012-08-09
- Completely rewrote all of the code for taking care of actions. If I am lucky this will take care of the strange superuser permissions error. Unfortunately this way will mean an ever so slightly slower response, but if it turns out this way works better, I will see if I can speed it up some.
- Lots of bugfixes. Wavesettings and gestures off in landscape SHOULD work properly now. So SHOULD the screen off feature.
- Added button to stop Smartswitcher from doing anything at all. Now, please tell me what I have broken this time
Version 1.0.6 2012-08-08
- Added settings for all gestures. You can now disable/enable/configure individual gestures. I did test this, but not very carefully. I should stop doing this so late at night. Please tell me if you find problems.
Version 1.0.5 2012-08-07
- Added option to disable gestures when phone is in landscapemode. Now you dont have to kill smartswitcher if you find it unusable in landscape and then start it again when back in portrait. Let me know if it does not work as intended.
- Changed the vibrationfeedback on recognized gesture to a more gentle level.
- Find my sensor-mode is gone. Kind of useless feature anyway, good riddance to bad feature.
Version 1.0.4 2012-08-06
- Wave once for recent apps, twice for menu, three times for back, four for home. No customizable settings for this yet, I need to sleep now Oh, I broke find my sensor-mode.
Version 1.0.2 2012-08-05
- Configurable delay for the screenoff when sensor covered-feature added
Version 1.0.1: 2012-08-04
- Disableoption for screenoff "bug"
- Changed Get the feel-mode to Find my sensor-mode, hopefully this is not as confusing
More coming. If you have any ideas or suggestions, let me know.

With a little practice this really makes multitasking much faster. Atleast, thats what it did for me. I was hoping for some testers here on xda. I have only tested this on a galaxy note running paranoid, it seems to work fine on that rom on the note, but i would like to see some more testers.
Feel free to try it out. If anyone likes it i will put it on google play. By the way, you need root for it to work. I attached a full version except for autostart on boot that will not work in this version.

The fault may be mine, but just to be overly clear, you have to wave your finger past the sensor AND back again within a relatively small amount of time. Maybe you did that.
What is your phone running?
Hi,
I've been testing both an earlier version and current version and it works fine for me. Could be that I'm also running paranoid (v0.5) on a note.
I shot a video on an earlier version:

Is this battery friendly? I love the idea and if it doesn't drain my battery quicker than usual I'll be using it instead of the long click of home button.
Please add an option to hide the notification icon. I don't think there is a need for it as this is a set it once and forget about it app. You don't go changing the settings every day.
Thank you and good luck with this awesome project!
EDIT: btw, I'm running stock rooted 4.0.4 and this works great!
Oh god that's a great idea ! Way faster than long-pressing home button. It works like a charm on jellybean cm10.

I was expecting someone to tell me to remove the notification icon I know, It was really useful get to the settings quickly when I was developing it. I will see what I can do to remove it. As for the battery, I have not really noticed any change in drainage at all, but please tell me if you experience any bad impact on battery life.

Excellent! Wave on
One small notion i made: I recently installed WidgetLocker and it's possible to swipe your finger for recent apps while the lockscreen is active/visible. Not that it's disturbing but it's good to know! In ics lockscreen everything works as intended!
Doesn't work on mine unfortunately....I'm on LRG
Only vibrated

I am actually aware of this problem. I have sent an email to the developer of widgetlocker but no answer yet. I could not find a way to detect when widgetlocker was running so i could disable smartswitcher. I will keep trying to fix that issue. Thanks for letting me know!

Thats a bit strange. It worked for a previous poster on LRG if I am not mistaken. I don´t mean to offend you, but are you sure you are doing it right? Set the sensitivity to high and try a few more times. If you enable the somewhat strangely named Get the feel mode, the phone will vibrate a little when it "sees" your finger, thats just to help you find the sensor. The Vibrattion setting will make the phone vibrate a little longer when you waved correctly. If you cant get it to work, let me know and I will try to help you get it working.

You must de-select "get the feel"mode in the app menu, otherwise out only vibrates
Carefully crafted on my Galaxy Note, for your eyes only
I installed it minutes ago,
and it works great.

I'm on classic rom v3.
Only thing is, deactivate vibration and feel mode, but still feedback with vibration.

BRO, great job! This is working fine! But you see my phone doesn't have a proximity sensor! Can something be done for it!?

this release works only with proximity sensors,this is a minimal version of our application,but the next update (will need a least 1 month) will works even without proximity sensors and it will contain a new function (sense lock screen with full weather animations that will looks 100% like the stock sense lockScreen,this will be the first real sense lockScreen),so please keep an eye on our thread.

Looks similar or at least familiar to Awesome On Off. I'll test it during the next days.

Thanks! Now it's ok.
Good to lock but unlock is unstable (sometimes reactive, long or inoperable) and home key can still unlock screen...
Great app, very useful, dude. I have detected these problems:
You have little translation errors (Préférences-->Preferences; secondes -->seconds)
Can you reduce the sensibility? If your pocket isn't very tight, your phone can be unlocked and cause problems.
There is a lag if you are using the CPU Governors Smartass and InteractiveX. I think you can't fix this, but would be better if you put a notice about this potential problem.
Tested on Gingerbread 2.3.7 (Xperia X8, custom kernel).
Testing now, will use throughout tomorrow and provide feedback in the evening. Really great idea for an app.

So, tested it on my Galaxy Nexus (Maguro/GSM, CM10 Stable). At the moment it seems to be a bit unstable, no FC, but sometimes it doesn't really work.
The first time I switched it on, my home button couldn't bring me to the home screen, just flickered and still on the screen of the app. Only back button or app switcher worked.
Would be nice if you put a option (yes/no) for a notification icon on the status bar.
Is it possible to use the proximity sensor for switching on again or does it drain battery too much?
By the way, if you need translations, I could offer German
EDIT: Tested app version seems to be version 1.0 as shown in the app info. Please add a version number to your downloads and somewhere in the app for easier comparison. And as always, if it is not to much effort for you, please upload also to Google Play, so all installations get your updates quickly.
Works very responsively. A few transityion errors for me and the shake to unlock is a little off.
Tested on HTC One S S4 4.0.3 ICS
Initial use is great. I like the idea of being able to pull phone out and unlocking without any input from me. Check what I'm after and replace in pocket, and locking again with out any input from the user.
Things I will be watching the next few days are unwanted wake ups and battery drain.
Would like to see this stick after rebooting. As it is now, you must start service with every reboot.

Hi Steph310,
you said unlocking is unstable,with which values on the "unlock time out" menu ?
home key should unlock screen only when the phone is out of you pocket,is it?
(when the phone is covered ,screen should go off again)

it is normal that CPU Governors(Smartass) causes problems, the low frequency while screen off can cause such problems
"If your pocket isn't very tight, your phone can be unlocked and cause problems." ==> it should work with ~5 centimeters of height,this is related to the proximity sensor's limitation(but i think it is enough)

OK
The app works flawlessly, but at a point it is too much. I, sometimes rest my finger over the sensor when using the phone in landscape, and it turns the screen off.
(Search on where the sensor stays on Sony Xperia S).
I know it is a beta testing now, but both the UI and the icons need an update.
In summary: Works flawlessly; the idea with it is a no go for me and my phone; UI and icons needs update.
"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
Has anyone been able to get Light Flow to work on the OnePlus One? I like light flow a lot better than the CM notification center, but I just can't seem to get it to work.
Has anyone here getten it to work? If so, mind sharing your settings?
So far I've had one person say it worked and two not!
Can you try and see if led color tester by coolbeans works on the phone (with lightflow either not installed or disabled) and let me know if that works?
I'm interested in this as well. I enjoy Lightflow so much more than any of the other notification apps I've tried. I'll be heartbroken if it doesn't work...
i used lightflow with paranoid android and it works fine on my oneplus one chinese version

Hello. I'm a big fan of your work (been using on the N4 and N5).
I also have this app on my OnePlus One. I noticed that up until the most recent build that all my notifications were working. Gmail and stuff were all fine.
Is it me or did the latest build change something? When notifications come in I get a white light blinking. When I power my screen on and off again it seems like Light Flow then registers, and now I get green pulses.
I'm not sure if its the most recent build of Light Flow or if its because I added a second Gmail account). I am rooted so I'm on root mode, but maybe some of my settings are whacked?

Yep, have the same "issue". Before the last Update everything was fine..
No Light Flow issues here.
Just got my OnePlus One today. Installed, restored the app generated backup from my S4, good to go.
Some apps need to have their own LED setting disabled for LF to work properly since the last version.

I'm aware of this for some users and I've just pushed out an update (it should show in the play store over the next few hours) I've had a few people testing who had that issue and reports so far seem to be that it fixes that issue.

You sir are a hero. It no longer requires me to use Gravity Box UNC to override settings.
Question: Do you recommend for high end phones like the N5 and OPO to run in foreground or background? I see no issues with background on my OPO and the app doesn't get killed at all.
Second question: You're still going to roll out global settings someday right? Having to change speeds for every app is a bit annoying, or even custom blink settings.
Final question: Is it possible to adjust the brightness for the LED? I see a brightness option in the sleep options for night blinking, but adjustments for individual notifications? Would be nice to have global for this too

On the N5 I find it does work better with the option on, without it once every few days maybe it'll get killed off by android (which is fairly normal for any background service) so it'll miss a notification.

Yes that's still on the list. If google hadn't brought out android L I'd have been working on that, but I've had to divert my time to issues with that!

There's a global option for this (in lightflow, settings, general settings, led brightness), but not individual, you'd just have to use the custom color option at the moment.
Lightflow works for me.
I can't get LF working, or if it does work it just flashes white. I'm 100% stock/unrooted so is there anything else I need to activate to get it working? I had no issues with my previous Nexus 4/5 so it must be something silly!
EDIT: Reinstalled and seems to be working OK now, so obviously something I did wrong!
Thanks for the help @andrewpmoore
Is it possible to have the lights on even when the screen on? Is that the "Samsung direct mode?" I don't believe that worked on my other non Samsung devices, so I doubt it will work on the OPO.
I ask because CM's battery LED seems to by default remain on even when the screen is on or off.

Same here. Rooted. Locked bootloader. Dunno if it matters...
Correction! There seems to be a small glitch: At the end of Charging when switching to Charged it seems to start switching between Charging and Charged rather than just using the Charged notification.
I've a fix coming for switching between charged and charging.
What 'Device Settings' is everyone running to make this work? Is anyone using:
Direct Mode?
Samsung root mode?
Reset color before change?
Nexus 5 force LED reset?
For some reason mine works for a period of time than I start getting SMS's and it stops working. I restart the app, but it doesn't continue to work again. Not sure what's going on.

The glitch seems to have exploded... nothing seems to be working now... not mail, not sms ... nothing. Tried to enable the root option but it makes no difference

The Nexus 5 thing is the only box I have checked (must've been by default since I didn't do it).

Not having any issues... maybe backup your notification settings and then wipe and restore them. Ensure LF has the proper notifications access, etc.

Nope. Nothing. Tried to clear the cache and data. Tested the notifications and nothing... Checked Notification access and tried enabling root mode. Still nothing... Phone is stock though rooted.
