Is it just me, or can nobody else get Light Manager to work properly? I've enabled access to notifications, but despite the fact I set WhatsApp to green and Facebook to blue, they both flash white.
Simply a bug in the app due to a new version of Android, or something more sinister?

Same here only see it all White Maybe Nexus 5 only have White Light?

No, if you test a notification, the different colours all show up. I'm wondering if the way they have implemented notification access has changed slightly then, or if there is some kind of global override I can turn off....

Light Manager has never worked for me. It doesn't matter what color I assign apps on my Note 2, Light Manager just assigns them whatever color it thinks is right.
Give Light Flow a try. The N5 definitely has a multi-colored LED
Appreciate the suggestion, but Facebook and WhatsApp require the paid version to work, and I'm not paying to test it to discover they don't work on KitKat yet.

You should try Lighflow. See if that works better for you,
well try lightflow ... only get white notification light
I'm a derp. Nevermind.
Anyone having problems with theirs? Even with light flow I have problems. What settings are other people using to get light flow to work?

There was an update today for it that supposedly had N5 support but it did not work for me until I turned off the Foreground option. Also when running the test I had to turn the screen off.

Lightflow working fine for me, even before the update. I unchecked Foreground since I don't like the persistent notification, but no issues either way.
The only "issue" I found is that after the update you have to go back in and authorize LF to work with you Hangouts notifications again. After that, working great.

Cool, I'll check it out!

Hi, just wondering of there is a mod for xposed which let's you increase the led blink rate for the stock rom? I don't want to use 3rd party apps ?

Nope. Wondering if this is even possible considering how long it's taking for a module to be available. I would actually pay to have this.

Why don't you want to use an app like LightFlow? Theres quite a few different speed options, works fine for me...
Ledblinker is well good

It's an easy edit if you have the ability to de/recompile framwork-res.apk. Edit is here \framework-res.apk\res\values\integers.xml.
Stock:
Code:
<integer name="config_defaultNotificationLedOn">1000</integer>
<integer name="config_defaultNotificationLedOff">9000</integer>
I edit mine to this timing:
Code:
<integer name="config_defaultNotificationLedOn">1750</integer>
<integer name="config_defaultNotificationLedOff">2400</integer>
good day.
Can u share the apk so i can use it, i don't know house to compile

It's a little clunky. Some bugs, not to mention possible battery drains etc. Native solutions are better.
One of the main reason why I ROM is to avoid having to use LF.

I have none of those problems personally. Plus the LED customizations in most ROMs are not as complete as Lightflow.
Oh and it allows me to have Dashclock entries for apps that don't have extensions (e.g. AOSP email app). This is actually the main reason I use Lightflow.
I just found out there is a Modul available for changing LED:
Xposed LED Control

I'm not sure if this is what you're lookin' for but , in GravityBox in "Display tweaks" there's an "option for controlling pulse notification light delay (frequency)"

So far it does not appear in my battery consumption list. For me it's quite good.

I tried this and the led would only blink for a second

You actually do have some of these problems, but you don't realize it. There's no battery drain issue, bnut there are definitely bugs in it, that are due to Android's handling of the LED.
1. Rapid blinking of multiple colors when turning screen off -- this happens often, but is by design. I've spoken with the developer and he said there's several situations where Android will screw up the handling of the LED blinking and end up permanently blinking until you restart. Part of the fix for this is to rapidly blink a bunch of colors, which takes care of the issue. This doesn't occur every single time you turn the screen off, but it does happen often. You probably just haven't noticed it, and that's the point -- it's avoiding an annoying bug.
2. Blinking randomly when there is no notification --- this is still a problem, but has been mitigated a good bit over the past few updates. The phone sometimes will just blink for absolutely no reason at all. No notifications, etc, but it'll blink.
Those are the 2 main issues. It also tends to crash on occasion, but again the latest version has fixed/improved that issue.

Again, I have never had these 2 issues. You said #1 happens often, then it probably isn't often enough for me. I always have the phone in front of me and I rarely restart my phone so if it did happen, I would have noticed it.
How many apps do you enable in Lightflow? If you have many pending notifications from many apps at the same time, then I can see how it could potentially mess up. I'm letting Lightflow control the LED for 4 apps only (Hangout, Gmail, Email, Whatsapp).
Light manager is a fine alternative to light flow. I am using it for a few weeks now and it fits my needs.

This is a simple Q&A to see if you use light flow and sustain battery shortages on your delightful nexus 5?

Use Ledblinker. It doesn't kill any battery. I get 2% drop overnight

Used LF for a few years now and I have no issues with battery drain
No problems here. Used LF since my Galaxy Nexus.
I suppose it's all down to what you've used the app to do. All I've done is set up some LED colours for certain apps. I've not used the sound preferences, I've not changed how often it flashes or the speed of the flashes so I'm using the app in a very basic setup. The more you have the app doing, the more it'll use battery
No.
In contrast to above I use it to control nearly all my notifications, LED colours and flash frequencies. No drain.
There is a lightflow discussion thread here which the developer checks.
Set up the app as per developer's website. If you (still) have actual drain, try to get a logcat plus BBS showing wakelocks. He is pretty responsive to these things
I suddenly got a red notification light on my device with out anything doing in my device any answer to this?

Low battery perhaps?
(Do you have lightflow or another such app that controls LED notifications?)
My battery is still 45% at that time

Was your phone around any type of moisture? Or did it get wet somehow? I've read in some of the water damage threads that some people experience the red flashing notification light after it's been damaged from water.
No i dont think it got wet it was on top of a table and the room was cool and dry

Some apps use a red notification LED by default. I know my fiancee uses the SportsCenter app and it pulses the LED red when there's a notification.
i see the same happen on my G2, usually when i pull into my driveway and i connect to my wifi
I'm a relatively new nexus 5 user and am sometimes confused by what the color leds correspond to. Is there a tool that will indicate which app sends which color led signal?
I know Push Bullet gives me green notifications. I'm stock as well.
I think i found the problem its my zynga poker app that gets a red notification light

Are you rooted,if so what custom ROM.Majority let you change led to your liking.I hope that helps
Sorry I meant to suggest a very stable build by team omni which let's you adjust led light.try it and have fun

I am rooted but using stock rom.
Various apps utilize led notifications but it is hard after a while to remember which color corresponds to which app. I thought there might be a tool, not to modify them but just to list which app sends which color. But I guess not.
Thanks.

If I remember correctly, the LED light does flash red when the phone is charging, I myself downloaded Light Flow, which allows you to manage all aspects of the LED light, I like it much better than not having control over it . But like you said you did nothing, so must be just an app you have.
I wonder if an app that monitored the logcat could deduce who the heck triggered the light so you could at least find out what app was responsible?

You can go to settings-apps.Check to see what is currently running. What kind of apps do you have that run all the time?
