[Q - SOLVED] Serendipity 5.7 SMS Problem? [Mod Please Close!]

Don't know if it is a problem or what but when receiving a new text, the screen does not light up but rather just vibrates, make noise, and have the buttons lit up.
Is this a problem or is it a setting I can adjust so the screen lights up as well?

The AOSP mms app doesn't turn on the screen when messages are received (on this ROM). But you can probably try using something like SMS pop up to have the screen turn on and quick reply if you want. I haven't tried that myself, though.

Anyway to change that?

SMS popup is definitely the way to go. allows you to use your preferred messaging app but gives you awesome functionality with the popup notifications. and quick reply is the best.

I want the screen to light up though, not the bottom button lights to go away. But good to know!

if you use the samsung mms.apk provided on the serendipity website, the screen will light up upon receiving a text message.

Ahh thank you! Finally what I was exactly looking for!

Working LED charging light app?

New to nexus 5... searched and found light flow and light manager. Neither work for charging. Perhaps I set it up wrong?
Also, sorry if this has been asked... search function on the app sucks

Light flow has option...just need to enable it. Also check the settings , there are some settings for while charging.

Hmm... I wonder if something in gravity box is conflicting... I have those sittings set, still nothing

Light Manager works on my Nexus 5 with the following setup:
1. Turn off daydream
2. Light Manager Advanced settings > Static LED > Option 2

Light manager is working using your settings, thanks.
Quick question. If I disable the unlock cancels notification setting, what does cancel it? Clearing the notification and unplugging charger?

I noticed led only comes on when screen is off.
If u enable that setting, led notification will stop once u unlock the screen.
If u disable the setting, led notification will go on until u read the message, checked the missed call, etc.

Cyanogen Mod 11 Milestone 4 might be the way to go

If you are willing to unlock your phone and load a ROM, CM11 M4 has that feature built in. This is a really stable build and has Google Dialer working.
Here is a review of some of the features
If you are feeling really adventureous you can try the nightly builds http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584004

what happen if 2 app notification came at the same time?
Mine has a messed up color notification

Menu/Home/Back as Notification LED?

Has anyone been able to see if the LED’s on the hardware navigation buttons can be customized for notifications, etc?
Such as pulse speed, individual LED’s, duration and order?
For instance, if all 3 are slowly pulsing, I have an SMS.
If only the back button is pulsing, it’s an email..
Etc, so on and so fourth?

No you can't.
You have the notification LED at top of the phone for that.

I guess this would be a great development for a developer.
Btw, how do I customize the LED color at the top? I'm on the SLIM rom?

Yes it's possible
To customize the LED color at top try to go on Settings > Display > Notification LED.
If you don't have this option you need to use an app to control the LED (search the "LED" word on the Play Store).

yeah you have an rgb notification light at the top that you can set on a per app basis. you can set different colors and pulse timings. theres not much demand to not use it and instead a much more complex alternative.

this was done back in the day on my Tmobile Galaxy s2 so I get what you want and dont see why it cant be attempted. I believe BLN was the app we used but it had to be activated within the kernel if I am not mistaken

This is possible with a custom kernel. They call it BLN (button light notification). I haven't seen a kernel yet that has this feature but we might be lucky enough to get one, or to have this feature included in one of the existing kernels.

Lightflow gives the option to control the button lights. I haven't played around with it, but its there.
Perhaps @andrewpmoore can chime in.

This would honestly be a cool feature to have as an option. I remember having it on Galaxy S1, S2 & my Nexus S because of the lack of LED. The kernel will have to be modified for this to be enabled.

I had this function in my HTC One via ElementalX kernel. It would be nice to have on my OPO.

gravitybox problem..help!!!!

after installing gravitybox there is this star icon in the statusbar..how to remove it.. couldn't find any settings..need help.. whenever i go to vibration mode it appears...

I don't think this is related to gravity box. It appears when you put your slider into silent mode.

It's the do not disturb icon when you put the notification slider all the way up. Just turn it off in settings>status bar>icon manager.

It shows with vibrate and silent positions. As others have said, you can turn it off from the icon manager by ticking the "do not disturb" option

This is what I had to do, glad someone posted it

I'm impressed by how people insist that this is due to the priority mode, while OP mentioned that the problem appeared after installing GravityBox. I also own a OP6 and that star also appeared for me after installing GravityBox, no matter the position of my notification slider.
As mentioned, it can be hidden by turning it off in icon manager, but this is not a real solution, as it is now hidden and will never show again even in priority mode.

exactly... thanks at least you understood the problem... on 5t there was a option to hide in the gravitybox...but newest version doesn't have that option anymore

I was also looking for an option to hide it in GravityBox but as you said, it doesn't appear to have one... I had a OP3 before and didn't have this problem. I guess the dev will fix it in the future for the OP6 so we will have to wait for now.

Does the star still act like priority mode if you have gravitybox enabled? I have the same problem and would like to know if the star is merely just an appearance thing or if it is an actual priority mode for notifications, if it acts like priority mode then I will have to uninstall gravitybox.

Customize Notifications?

Hey all,
I'm so used to all the features of Light Flow that I didn't realize how much I depended on it. Since the 3 does not have an LED, I'm looking for an alternative app to manage my notifications. I want to be able to choose the notification sound and the vibration pattern per app.
Light Flow does this but not without requiring a persistent notification. Normally you'd be able to avoid this by installing Light Flow Legacy, but it does not show up in the app store on the Pixel 3.
Does anybody have any recommendations?
Thanks

Go to apk mirror and download light flow legacy that way. Let us know how it goes. I really hate the lack of notification LED, but I'm not willing to go as far as you to customize the vibrations etc.

Already tried this. It doesn't seem be on there.

I've been using Light Manager. It displays customized colored icons on the screen in place of the LED, with AOD turned off. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would.

Since there is no LED, we have no way of knowing if my phone is charging when plugged in without turning on the screen. Does light manager have a solution for this too?

Yes, it shows a charging icon and the %

I tried it and it looks like the default lock screen prevents the icons from displaying. Do you have your screen set to stay off when new notifications come in or is there something else you changed in either the app or system settings? Sorry for hijacking the thread with all the questions, but this lack of LED makes my phone useless while the screen is off.

Yes I have always on display off, and new notifications off. Double tap and lift for notifications I still have on though.

What other settings do you have? My phone isn't waking up with Light Manager with AOD/new notifications off and double tap/lift for notifications on. I do not have a lock screen enabled nor does it work with lock screen (swipe) enabled.
The "tests" aren't working either.

Does this require you to double-unlock to get to your phone, or is there someway around that?

That got it working. I have to tap the screen once, home/back button then shows, then double tap to get to the home screen.

Yeah I use fingerprint unlock and realize it requires it being done twice. We need a cleaner solution.

A cleaner solution was the $0.03 LED that Google removed from the phone! It shouldn't be this hard to tell if my phone is charging.
If I wanted a useless notification system, I would've purchased an iPhone!
