I have Droid mini, it has a LED. I want to control it by LightFlow or something, it works. But it seems that the OS is controlling it too, for example when battery is low. Is somewhere a setting, where I can modify OS-level LED behavior? I want to turn it off and only allow LightFlow to do it.
P.S.: any experience with lightflow of other apps of this kind? Are they reliable on Droids?
Thanks

coming from htc legend and xperia mini, the led notification lights was an important feature, now i really miss it in the note, and using noled app is not the same as having actual led lights.
so i was thinking if there is a possibility to use the menu and back buttons lights as notification light ? i found that they are separate from the screen light .. so can this be done by an app or a custom rom or it can't be done ?
This idea has already been implemented for many Samsung devices. Just find a custom kernel with "BLN" Support (BackLightNotification) and then download the app (info HERE) and away you go.
Hope that helps mate

check bLED
after i posted this i found out about bLED and bln kernel (i didn't know what bln means) thanks for your help
There is also noLED. Not one i use but you might aswell know all the options
I've read that they all hurt battery life
i tried noLED but i didn't like it
i know that bln might drain the battery faster but it's important for me, and maybe with further development some of the current problems might be fixed
NoLed is good, doesn't require root and only uses about 3% battery when enabled (and nothing if you switch it off). You can also customize the settings for additional power saving and I managed to get it down to 1% by setting the notification to flash on and off.
My only issue with NoLed is that from time to time it gives me the sleep of death. Disable it And my issues go away - haven't had time to test whether or not SoD is down to the power saving settings.
I know its possible with apps but was wondering if its possible with the stock software?? If not, what ap are you guys using for this function? TIA
I use Lightflow.
I use lightFlow as well and its not possible in the stock software AFAIK.

The LED in the phone supports RGB so you should be able to get a moderately wide color spread. Each different notification in my phone has a different color and blink rate specified by lightflow so I cant really go into detail there. The only thing I have yet to figure out with it is how to dim the LED as its really bright, and while I want a charging indicator, at night its hard to sleep with the bright orange on my phone.

Now it seems my notification LED is going off for no reason; there are no notifications currently showing besides juice defender and smart actions neither of which have an LED function tied to them; does this ever happen to you guys?

Ya, I've had phantom notification issues before. Before I got the settings right for my 3rd party SMS app (Handcent) I had a few issues where the notifications weren't clearing. The other thing you might check is that gmail will try and notify even if your using something else to mark the message as read, (ie: using gmail on a different computer and reading the message will make it disappear from the status bar on your phone cause to the mailing client the message has been read, but the lightflow notification requires you to open the app that's triggering the notification to clear the lightflow notification.) Other than that I'd try changing the color of different apps and seeing if the LED changes with it and try to pin down the app that is causing the random light.
Let me know if that helps,

Hi:
The best feature of lightflow is the ability to turn all the notification lights off at night, from any hour yo choose to any hour in the morning.

Those of you using light flow, what settings are you using? And are you rooted? What build are you on. I had never even noticed the pho had a notification light until I had had it for a while and I saw the low battery light one day, until then I had never noticed it lit.. I'm currently rooted only, have not unlocked the boot loader. On build 125-asa-10.
I first thought light flow was not working but have come to notice it is, its just extremely dim to the point you almost can't see it even in a dark room. Anyone else have this issue or know what I'm doing wrong?

I never noticed it being excessively dim per se, but when I first installed the ap at the office under flourescent lighting the lights seemed weak and not to match the colors I had selected. Once I decided to choose only a few notifications and with stick main standard colors (red, yellow, green, blue, orange, cyan) I noticed it was doing a good job of notifying me and the colors were unique and visible in all light conditions. For emails I have a long delay, for texts I have a medium delay, for missed calls I have a short delay, for missed calls messages or mms or voicemail from wife I have an extra short delay.
The only gripe I would say I have with lightflow is that it seems to stop notifying if not used for a while. Sort of like it's being dumped out of memory and needs to be restarted.

I'm trying to figure out if I have a hardware issue but im starting to doubt that too. I really don't want to do a factory reset but it may come to that. when the battery is low ~5% the led will blink bright red when unplugging, and bright blue when plugging in so it seems like its capable of going bright. driving me nuts that its not bright enough to see during normal operation.

Sorry if this has been asked/answered, but... I'm currently running Deviant Xone 4.2.2. rom and while the rom rocks, the one thing that I found unpleasing, at least IMO, is that the LED notification light when a mms or whatever (gmail, email, etc...) is received shuts off after the screen has either been turned on and then off or if the screen is one when the message is initially received. Sounds petty I know, but it's mildly irritating.
So I attempted to download Light Flow and Light Manager thru the playstore. Light manager did not want to play with this rom what-so-ever. And while Light flow did initially work, it only would work for the battery light (i.e. if the phone was charging) I allowed access thru the accessibility setting and granted root access. I can not get the app to flash the LED light when a notification is received though.
In the rom settings I have the battery light enabled and the notification light enabled, custom values not checked off. And I've tried these setting in every combination I could think of with no success other than the battery light.
Sorry for rambling and if any has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated!!

I have Lightflow working for notifications (I used it on Deviant, now I'm on Liquid). There is probably one small option that is or isn't ticked that's preventing it from working for you. let's start with sms/mms. what app do you use for messaging and what settings do you have enabled through lightflow for each?
Thank You for the response! I actually got it to work, I uninstalled and re-installed and redid all the the setting checks/unchecks. Probable a user error on my part the first time around. Thanks again
So, I need help. I have a phone doogee y100pro. it has no led light. I have try many apps as noled, dynamic notification, flash notification, floatification and many more. I dont like them that m,uch.
SO, does anyone Know any great app that can i install as alternative for led light?
something that will work nicely, repeat my notification, and not drain my battery that much.
Thanks everyone.
Hello,
I am frustrated to have no more control over this option. Perhaps I am awaiting too much, but a simple switch to control the Battery Low led -> is that too much for Samsung? I can see the percentage in AOD, so I must not have the LED blink when battery is low.
Did anyone find out how to disable only that message? Truely I can disable all messages (set the complete LED to off) but this I don't want.
Thanks @ all
Dirk

I would also like to be able to disable this and the charging status led setting. It was available on previous Samsung phones before the s6 series but for some reason they removed the option under led setting and changed the option to either have the led on or off.

Never seen gravity box before. Installed Gravity Box [MM] and tested some functions. Because it is for AOSP the most functions does not seem work.
But disabling Battery LOW Led seems to work, now I am on 15% and no LED is on
Thank you in advance

Hello,
explecitely this are the things which are not working for me. I wanted to set long press on homebutton, but this does not work. Btw, surely I can confirm that the Battery Low LED is now disabled, but the green "Battery fully charged" LED seems also to be disabled, but for me this is no problem. Perhaps some interferences with my echoe rom V12?
Thanks
