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 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.

Hello everyone!
I recently replaced my 3 year old Nexus S with a Nexus 5. It's my second smartphone and I love it. Naturally, I rooted it and everything.
One of the apps that peeked my interest was Light Flow. It's a bit mind-boggling what you can do with it, but I'll figure it all out. However, I noticed one issue straight away...
Notifications in different colours seem to work. I did a test with whatsapp and it blinks green: perfect. However, after a couple of "blinks" a white light flashes "through" it if that makes sense. It doesn't alternate between green and white, no, they just flash through each other, the white light slightly before the green light.
I don't know what is causing this white light to flash, but after I turn off Light Flow and close the app entirely, it keeps flashing. I have to restart my phone to make it stop (or disable notification LED in the Android settings menu).
Does anyone have a similar issue? Or can someone maybe tell me what boxes I have to tick in the Light Flow settings? It could very well be one of the settings is causing this issue. If someone has a certain set-up and it works fine, I'd love to try it and see if it fixes my issue.
Thanks in advance!

Do your notifications work by default? Like, your stock notifications? Mine didn't, but do with light flow. Weird, no?

I tried another app (Light Manager), and I had the exact same problem. Don't get me wrong, the app is working fine, but once I set everything up and I do a test notification, a white notification keeps flashing even after I turn Light Manager off. The only thing that helps is to disable LED notifications in the Android settings, or to reboot the device.
Something is telling my device that there's a notification, but I don't know how to fix it.

Thanks for the personal reply, andrew! I really appreciate that
However, for some reason my phone keeps flashing this white light, even after I turn off Light Flow. I have to turn off the notification LED in general or reboot my phone for it to stop. The white light notification starts after I do a "missed call test" like described in that link (that works perfectly fine by the way), or after any test I do with Light Flow for that matter. And it doesn't stop no matter how often I clear my notifications.
EDIT: NEVERMIND. Totally forgot that I don't have a sim card yet. That's what was setting off my notifications. Weird though that even after disabling Light Flow it keeps flashing, and weird that it was white instead of cyan like it's supposed to be.

Sorry for wasting your time. I totally forgot I didn't have a sim card so Light Flow was making the LED flash because it thought I had no signal.
Still weird that it keeps flashing even after I disable Light Flow, and that it's white instead of cyan like it's supposed to be.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your help! It works fine right now. I'm not too sure how the cycle thing works yet. I've tried it with a red slow flash for low battery and a green fast flash for whatsapp but the result is the LEDs flashing kinda "through" each other. Naturally, with different flash rates, I guess.
Quick question for people. For the last couple of updates I've been getting quite a lot of reports of certain notification types not working. Hangouts, emails (not gmail), whatsapp etc
I know that all the types that people are having issues with have been using the notification listener (quite a few stock apps don't use it), has anyone else been seeing this. I'm trying to track it down, but I can't recreate it and the beta testers haven't been able to either. Just interested to work out how much of an issue it is as I've never had reports of this before.
Hey Andrew,
I tested the color cycle for textra app, and google voice. I purposely got both notifications with the screen off and waited for the colors to cycle. It started off cycling both colors, but the cycle was not consistent. For example, the colors were red and blue. It would show like this- blue....red....blue..red..blue..red....red....red....red....red
The time between colors was not consistent, then eventually one color took over. I have the setting to 'cycle all - medium' under battery settings. Have not tested under charge settings yet. I am not using the 'highest priority' or 'show latest' options.
This isn't a deal breaker, but would like to bring to your attention.
Thanks!

I use it for WhatsApp, BBM, Hangouts all w/o issue on my stock N5. My only complaint is the perma-notification in the notification tray. Can't seem to get rid of it with any of the options in settings. Wasn't an issue with older versions (I'm using the latest)
Ive been using lightflow on my N5 and it's working well
I have multiple notifications set up - all set for 'permanent' rather than flashing. I have turned EMAIL notifications OFF
however - sometimes, I am not entirely sure when, I notice a white (slightly bluish?) blinking LED. I can't figure out what causes this. I suspect it MAY be email (exchange email, not gmail) - but I am not sure - I can't reproduce consistently.
Also, sometimes when I do a 'test model' on SMS apps, no LED lights up. I've stopped using "SMS Apps" and now am using "Hangouts" as a notification instead and that seems to work
Had 2 hours full wakelock on lightflow this morning -from the minute I unplugged from charge
very strange
Isn't the white light you're seeing the default LED color? Whenever I get a Gmail or Exchange mail it blinks white. I don't have Light Flow installed.
Yes I think it is the standard light. however with lightflow that's not meant to occur.
either way it appears to have stopped now.. not sure how/why!
Try turning off your LED notifications in each program and just have Light Flow control them. That should stop the default white light from showing.

Hey Andrew, Great work on this app. It is fantastic and I was happy to upgrade to the full version.
Just wanted to share that I have the lingering notification scenario also. essentially I get a few notifications and once I clear them out and the screen turns off, the light continues to blink. It is usually the last notification that came in (I have different colours set and I can tell that what sticks is what came in last).
To be honest, I wonder if it is Kit Kat not clearing out the notification and the issue has nothing to do with LF. Interestingly another way to clear the issue is to bump the notification with another real one, and then accept that notification (i.e. light still blinks without any active notification, I call the phone and miss the call, it blinks for the missed call, I clear that, and we are back to normal)
Hope this might have helped.
Anyone able to get the Camera Light LED/flash to work? The one on the back.
I enabled it in setting and I've tried all the other ones not officially supported too with no success.
Also had the notification light not dismissing problems too. But I'm thinking I got it figured out now. Hasn't happened since.
Has anyone got lightflow working on their device? I can't seem to get certain apps like whatsapp to display a notification.
Can anyone recommend any alternatives to lightflow?
Its working fine here. Have you ticked the checkbox in Settings-Display-Led and then very last downloaded apps? Also see in whatsapp the colour you want it to display.

Yes i get the option of 18 different colors plus a custom color option
I tried Light Flow before on my Xperia and it sucked out battery. Is this the same case with the G3?
You can try using Light Manager, from my experience it much more battery friendly.
I've checked my battery stats and it doesn't even appear so I'm assuming it takes near to no battery at all?
Still No Go
Tried the instructions above but lightflow still isn't working. Anybody else have tips? BTW, using the free version if that makes a difference, which I doubt. LG G3 AT&T

Light flow draining battery life?
Has anyone else experienced battery drain when running light flow? My battery life was fantastic and I've noticed a decline recently. I've uninstalled most recent downloaded apps except for Light Flow . I also noticed in the Battery setting that my device is staying awake quite a bit. Without rooting (I can't since it's a work phone), I don't know of an app that will tell me exactly what's waking the device, however my hunch is light flow.
Light Flow Issues
Could not get Handcent or any calendar app to light the LED. Tried light flow and light manager. Eventually went to a different SMS app and that fixed one. Found that freezing the native calendar app was causing the lack of notifications for the calendar. Now it is all working.
No noticeable battery drain.
No notification icons was showing my Verizon LG G3 despite having all LED settings turned on. Downloaded Light Flow and even though it worked, too much customizations for me. I ended up downloading Light Manager. This also worked but it was straight to the point even with customizations.

I was having the same issue up until a few minutes ago. I had installed Light Manager and done all the proper settings and given it the permissions, made sure the LED was enabled and that apps box was checked. but the problem was that sometimes (usually only the first time) when I got a text it would blink at the set rate and others it would blink at the normal stock rate (once every 12 seconds).
The key to fixing this for me was unchecking all the boxes in the stock LED options except for the APP one. This allowed Light Manager to be the sole controller of the LED.
Hope this helps people!

I'm thinking about getting the LG G3. I'm happy to hear that it has an LED notification. I take it that it is multi-color? I would actually probably not get the phone if it didn't have the LED notification. Does anyone have any regrets about the phone?
no regrets here!
Hi
Does anyone know how to set up custom colour led notifications on s7? All I get is blue light. Tried light flow and light manager. It looks like Samsung made it difficult for some reason to set your own customised led notifications. Tried the recommended (by these led apps) "Samsung walkarounds" but still nothing. I tried
disabling notifications in Gmail, system's led notifications on ...nothing. Is there a fix for this?

Probably not. I corresponded with the LightFlow dev last year for a while regarding the issues with the S6. Basically Samsung has implemented their own code controlling the LED and it does not play nicely with LightFlow. He tried to implement some workarounds and there were some custom settings in LightFlow to try to get it to work but ultimately it was super buggy and never worked correctly. I ended up uninstalling LightFlow and just dealing with the stupid and unintuitive stock colors. :/

Thanks for reply. I wouldn't have a problem with keeping the stock led but it's pretty close to being useless. Blue light only for all notifications and even that is not reliable...and don't even start with red and green lights...I'm going to stop reading "professional" reviews because nothe even single one mentioned that led notifications on Samsung phones are screwed. Why Samsung decided to mess up this great and highly usefull and practicall feature is beyond me. This is exactly why people stick to Apple. Am ranting a bit, sorry.
Wonder if rooting & flashing custom rom helps with this.

I contacted the Dev in the weekend and this is a temp. fix.
In Lightflow, enable "Switch screen on" on all notifications that's not working, ex. phone, email, twitter, etc. Restart your phone and it should work. It works for me.
I swear by Lightflow. My favourite app.
So you have to have the screen come on every time you get a notification and then lightflow works as normal?
This is bringing back bad memories of hours messing around with this on my S6 lol.

Have you enabled lightflow to view your notifications in the accessibility settings menu? I have it installed and it works perfectly for me

S7 - SM-G930F - 6.0.1 - unrooted
Light Manager is working fairly well for me. Different colors and 3 second interval.

Hmm, it actually seems to be working for me too, although I did get a message to install LightFlow Legacy app for some reason I can't remember now? And it said to disable the full version which is odd. All these strange workarounds thanks to sammy.
Eh it's partially working now. Blah.
So it seems to be working fairly well, except for Hangouts. It simply won't blink green as I have it set to. It seems to still use the default blue color and slow blink. Anyone else have this issue?
I use led blinker pro... No issues... Have full control over led colors, length of notifications, blink rate etc...
This should help:

Try the screen-on work around (#7) with Hangouts.

I already had that setup with the exception of the "device default" for the screen on time. Still doesn't work for me but I guess it's due to the fact that I have the always on display option turned on. This is reinforced by the fact that I get the blue LED until I turn the display on, and then the color I'd set after that.

Yep, that's the sign of the AOD issue. I decided LF gave me more useful information than AOD, so I turned AOD off. The LF developer is getting an S7, so hopefully he'll be able to figure fixes for these issues.
Light manager has been working almost perfectly for me with my exynos S7. The problem I am having now is that I can't find a way to stop gmail from causing the slow blue blinking LED and this always supersedes the light manager LED so if I get an SMS notification and then get an email the blinking blue light will cause the SMS notification to stop. So annoying. If I can figure out a way to stop this from happening I will post it.
i installed light manager today to...and different led colors seems to work
I actually just ended up freezing gmail in titanium and installing blue mail.
I've searched for this and it's annoying me that even turned on it doesn't work. I convinced my wife to sell her Note 5 and get the Honor 8, but this is a big set back. I had it before and it worked flawlessly. Any suggestions? I tried Lightflow btw and still nothing.

It only works with certain stock apps or apps that can trigger the LED from within the app's settings.

Thanks for the reply, so WhatsApp should with right? Because I have turned on that seeing firm the actual app too, also shouldn't it turn on while charging?

What about charging? Does yours work?
Yes, a static orange light when charging and green when 90% or higher.
For Lightflow you need first to be rooted as much I know with some setting in a special order enabled or some disabled couse otherwise it will do nothing
You can go into the phone's hardware test function to make sure the LED is working. Or download Light Manager (no root required) and test that way.

Did you activate ambient display? It has to be set to turn on when a notification arrives.

I tested it with WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Threema and BlueMail. It works flawlessly, though I would appreciate an update to customize the duration of the light, other colors and that it will be pulsating, etc.
Maybe a restart is going to fix your problem? Or try to turn off ambient display completely - restart - turn it on again. I read that others cleared data and cache of the app ambient display, that could work as well.

Thanks bro, will give all those a try.
Strange but I dont see ambient display app even in system apps I cant find it.
Got it, still didnt help... guess factory reset is next.
Works for me also, too bad is only once. I hope a software update can add more options.
I would like the screen to blink every few seconds when I have notifications, maybe also different colors per app.
I was on chat with OP support because I have yet to see the horizon light turn on. I have tested notifications for various apps in a pitch black room with ambient display on, off, changing notification slider to all 3 positions, restarting the phone, hard resetting the phone (all the suggestions from OP support) and nothing fixed it. OP support asked me to film the issue and send to them so they could "isolate the root cause of the issue". FYI I am on OOS 9.5.3 in case that is a different. I feel like mine is defective since I have yet to see any sort of edge light up.

Mine is an unlocked version direct from OnePlus....
Don't be too upset. Horizon lighting is absolutely useless in it's current state. OnePlus needs to work on this.
