I often have the same problem. With the screen off I get random notification flashes, but there are no notifications. I thought it was a problem with Light Flow so I uninstalled it and the problem persists. Currently on PA but the same problem existed with Stock Rom. I'm baffled.

Light Flow messed up my led pretty bad. Uninstallation didn't help as well. I did a clean flash of my rom and everything was sorted out ever since. May be you should try it as well??

[Q] xperia tipo -> led not working in cm10

Hi, I am a new member here and a new user of cm10. I installed it yesterday in my tipo. everything is working well, except that the led light doesn't work. For example, it doesn't get red when the battery is low, or it doesn't get blue when i have a missed call or new sms.
Is that a bug in the firmware or something i did wrong? thank you.

I think that is bug, revert to stock
Thanks for your answer. Do you use this firmware on tipo also?

^Not sure whether it's a bug or a CM10 feature..
Anyway, there's a simple workaround. Just download the Lightflow app from Play Store and manually set it for each!

For the most part it is OK, but I still don't fully trust it. It is consistently inconsistent... Completely stock over here.

got rid of lightflow after using it for a month when i just got the N5, it just doesn't work as good as it was on the N4.
I agree got rid of it as well.
Sorry to disagree, but it works perfectly for me. Never failed in any way and I'm using pretty much everything it has to offer (repeating vibrations, repeating sound notifications, the led itself and much more)...
Are you sure you activated the service in accessibility settings + access to notifications in security settings?
//xp7
Anyone know a good alternative thats not stock?

I've had the same experience. No issues at all using Lightflow on my N5. No random colours, no missed alerts, everything smooth as butter. I'm running stock, no root.
I'd suggest contacting the developer and see if they can help. If it's a bug then it'll never get fixed if not reported.
I found Lightflow to be a buggy, inconsistent mess as well.. all I wanted was a single setting to speed up the led light globally.

[Q] Looking for Color LED notification app

Guys, I have tried light flow and light manager and I can't get these apps to work properly. Do you guys know any other app that works properly on Nexus 5 to control color of notification LED?
Thanks

LEDBlinker is another one
Yup, LEDBlinker Pro gives me no issues whatsoever, whereas Light Flow and Light Manager gave me nothing but issues.
Perhaps I'm just lucky then, LightFlow has been working fine for me on OmniRom.
Did you set up the app as per the developer website instructions?
Yes, I have tried many settings but it never worked right. I'm gonna try ledblinker now... fingers crossed.

WhatsApp LED notifications

Guys,
Has anyone been having problems with WhatsApp LED notifications not working randomly?
Mine has been doing this for a few days now. If I get a WhatsApp message I'm supposed to get a purple or green LED notification. But for the last few days sometimes I get it and sometimes I don't.
I haven't changed or added apps or anything!!

I found that a reboot solves the problem for a bit. But then it just fails again!
I think you should be able to fix it by using an app called lightflow or something. Why not use a custom rom and set the LED notification there?

Thanks for suggestion. But I'm running gravity box which is absolutely amazing. So don't want to get rid of it for a custom ROM.
I used light flow some time ago and was excellent. But again with GB no need for it.

Light Flow

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.

Just got my OPO today and Light Flow is working great. Just restored my backup from my Nexus 4 and no probs. Love the new UI too!

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 glitch seems to have exploded... nothing seems to be working now... not mail, not sms ... nothing. Tried to enable the root option but it makes no difference

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.
