Hello guys ,
As youmay understand ,I'm new on Nexus devices.I wanted to use the Notification Light to inform me if there's something new or not.
I saw the Light Manager App which works perfectly . But the Light Flow (lite~premium) doesn't work .I just can't go with it , it looks promising but it doesn't work ,as it doesn't inform me for a notification ,nor if I press the test button ,it Simply doesn't work .
It looks great but it seems that I can't do it .Please someone out there help me or if you could give me your backup it'd be great thanks anyway

If LightManager works perfectly then what are you looking for in Light Flow? I'm using LightManager to control what color the notification light is for each different type of notification. If that's all you want to do then stick with what works.

Because Light Flow looks better and it has many more features ,one of them was Mixing the colours Red,Blue,Green (forgive me if I made a mistake on these colors)

Light Flow works for me but it has bugs. View the help website in the app and go to Nexus 5 page.

Light Flow works for the most part for me.
Only sometimes after SMS gets dismissed, notification seems to keep blinking, though may be a GO SMS thing, not reproduced it consistently enough yet.
I use this to set it up http://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/2349
Lightflow worked perfectly on my Nexus 4 but on my 5 it's a little buggy. With the last update a couple days ago it's running much better though. I know the dev is working hard on getting all the bugs worked out and he's getting close. I'm using the paid version and I would recommend it because the developer is very responsive on a few of these threads and is actively working on making it better.

Hello I have had my NS4G for a month and through all the fun and excitement of unlocking and rooting it I noticed that when I get any type of notification that my LED lights don't come on at all. I actually don't think they ever did. Am I trippin or is it supposed to be that way lol.

There is no notification LED on this phone... so to answer you, its perfectly normal
Ty now I can stop thinking I was crazy.

Try a kernel with bln support as a workaround
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036991
With BLN app from market.
Noled is another alternative. If you're interested in trying that (no special kernel required) I can give you the settings I found that work well. It took some trial and error to get them the way I like them.

Ok so I flashed a custom kernel using kernel manager but now I can't use wifi tether
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Noled isn't that great of an app. For some reason when there is a notification, the soft touch buttons at the bottom of the phone stay lighted.
Also, the screen isn't pure black when the notifications come on. It has this greyish hue to it. Totally not liking the app.

It would be nice to get the 4 LED touch navigation keys to flash while the phone is Idling ...:good:

More like a fading flash ..if its possible..
I'd like to see that. I had a Nokia back in the symbian days that did it when I had a message or it was charging. I feel like I can never see the I4G's indicator.

Works great on Ice Cold Sandwich 8.6.1.
They dont flash, but stay lit until you power the screen on. Pretty awesome!
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
I agree the led for the inspire isn't nearly as visible as I would like it. I think to have the soft keys have a "breathing effect" would really be a nice touch for missed messages.
Unfortunately I don't have the skill to program our phone to do this...

If you want that feature flash LordClockan's Ice ColdSandwich on the Desire HD section. It has that feature and works perfectly. Don't forget to flash the inspiremod!
It seems that some say yes and some say no. How could this be so ambiguous. Can someone with the device verify this in any way?

Yes there is. It is located on the bottom of the front panel. You have to enable the notification using light of course. I did find it odd that they did locate the light down there.
Yes there is! With Lightflow you can change the color of the notifications as well
Yes there is and it works well for me without the need for an app.

Why is it odd that it's down there. That's the exact same position that is at on the nexus 4.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Mine flashes blue for chomp which is the colour I selected, it flashes green for whatsapp which is the colour I selected and it flashes white for gmail. I don't have and led control program installed.
Works fine without app for me using rastakat rom which has a few color tweaks!
Yep, it's got a multi color LED.
Really easy to miss, though. It only flashes once every 10 seconds or so, which is pointless for a LED notification light. It's easier just to unlock your phone and check for notifications, rather than sit around for 10 seconds waiting to see if the light is going to blink or not.
LED manager works great too.

it was on the bottom for the galaxy nexus as well
it is odd because most phones have it on the top right corner or around there...the nexus lines have it on the bottom
I've been having problems using Light Flow with my N5. Hopefully an update will fix it!
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?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Same here only see it all White Maybe Nexus 5 only have White Light?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
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....
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
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.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
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?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
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.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
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!
