LED - General Questions and Answers

Hello ^^
It should be possible, that the LED of my Smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S 5mini SM-G800F Android 4.4.2) lights even when the screen is on. When i use the Remote control App it lights up too, and when I boot my device too. Does Anyone know an App to fix that? ps. My phone is rooted.
Thanks

Yes.
Try Light Manager (Free) or Light Flow (2,18 USD)

Hi ^^
So thank you anyway, but it's not working ._.
The second one works only with the screen off ._.

Optimus 3d notification led idea

Maybe this belongs in the development area but...
The evo3d got a notification led wich i like...what about if we can make the capacitive button led's blink or something when we have a mail and sms...
Maybe more guys have this idea but well....tell me if its possible and a good idea
It is probably possible and I think developers will have a hand on it if they havent yet.
It will be eventually supported.
this idea is awesome. i think it is possible

Glad someone's liking it
This would be a nice to have for sure. If can light up those "buttons" to use for notification, it will be great.
This is already done with O2X, so it is definitely on the way for us
My previous phone was GalaxyS which had no led aswell.
I used a programmed called NoLed on the Galaxy. Installed on Optimus 3d and seems to work fine.

It doesnt support the capacitive button led's.
Sorry i was only suggesting this as a temporary alternative until further developments.
I really like this idea!
But is it possible to expand on it further?
Since there's 4 capacitive buttons on the phone, are we able to make them blink individually?
For example... home button blinks when we have a missed call, menu button blinks when we have a message, back button blinks when we have an email, and etc?
Noled seems to be working fine for me...

Unfortunately not. As the app page states, AMOLED uses no power displaying a fully black pixel so displaying alerts on the screen takes very little power.
Now as the O3D has an old fashioned LCD, it consumes potentially a ton of power just to turn the screen on at all, because it has to light the whole screen just to start. Plus, it uses the MOST power displaying black (least displaying all white), so it would need the opposite behaviour.
[UPDATE]
Ah I see you can make the screen blink, I didn't notice that at first. Might actually be useful then.
i've tested it with the developer of the LG notification app. it seems, that the files which have to be used are'nt writeable. so without root it won't work
perhaps we should send tons of mails to LG, that they make it possible.

Also the notifications can have a time limit, i have set at 15mins and haven't noticed any battery drain.
Modified 2X/Black touch led notification app
Hi guys,
I've modified Martin Börjesson's app and now it works on ROOTed O3D and I'll upload it soon.
To-do:
1) fading doesn't work
2) change of brightness doesn't work
What will never work
1) separate LEDs - I don't think there's a way to control each of them, only all 4 LEDs

Flash Blink Camera Flash Notification

Hi everyone,
I found a great app that can blink LED when you get whatsapp/sms/incoming call notifications. Link is below. It works fine, is very much customizable. however it does cause force close once in 2 days or so. The dev might not support this project further, can anyone fix the fcs if possible?
Also, the whatsapp function does not support devices like xperia arc. Is it fixable?
Thanks, enjoy

No. Button LED is front side. Flashblink blinks the back flash. Like Iphone.

No. ButtonLED also has the option to choose the camera flash instead of hardware key backlight

[APP] Light Manager Compatibility

I am the developer of Light Manager. It is an app to configure notification LED color and its flashing frequency for different notification types. Quite a number of people reported that it is not working properly on Samsung Galaxy S 4, however at the same time there are people reported it is working perfectly. I am confused since currently I do not have a device to test.
So I created this thread to gather more comments about Light Manager on Samsung Galaxy S4. If things go serious, I would consider getting a S4 device for testing. I would like to make it compatible with S4.
For more information, you may go to the original thread at Samsung Galaxy S IIII section at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735331
Works ok for me (i9590, rooted stock) except for Aquamail notifications.
Using it for missed calls and SMS , works fine
Using it only for SMS, calls and battery states and works fine. Only sometimes when I plug the charger, "stock" LED indication appears instead of Light manager indication...Very randomly. Im on stock MDM firmware with kernel 3.4.0-526204 if it helps.
Alternative mode is working fine on my GS4 but it would nice to have a little break before swiching color between to different notifications.
example: green green green break break blue blue blue ecc...
Working fine for me too.
Another thing that isn't working (also on GS3) is the battery pergentage setting when the led should start to blink to aller that the battery level is low. Also if I set 5%, the led starts blinking on 15%.
Using it for missed calls and SMS; works fine. But doesn't work with whatsapp!!

The best way is to turn off "stock" LED indicator for battery in your phone settings.

Yeah, this is a bug on the current version. It will be fixed on the next update.

After you have granted root permission, remember to click "Restart light manager". For whatsapp, you need to turn off the notification LED in whatsapp settings as well. Let me know if it is not working.
It is working fine for me on the t-mobile variant of the GS4 in the united states. Wicked v2 with faux's kernel

THX for advice, I will monitor it...
For the most part, the app is working fine!
I don't know if this is normal, with these leds, but some colors are way off. Red, blue and green are fine, but yellow is greenish and white is blueish. So sometimes it's hard to distinguish which notification is showing...

I will test it out shortly, I have been using it on my S3 all the time but after upgrading to CM10.1 it didn't work too well, it clashed with the system led settings...
Just found this app because of your thread. Tested it and it works with whatsapp,sms,calls !
I'm reallyhappy right now because I was used to LightFlow but that app has to be enabled in de accessability settings and ruins the gallery.
Yours Sir is just perfect!
Thank you! :good:

I guess this is some LED hardware variation for different devices. You may adjust the hex color code in Advanced Setting to suit your S4 device. Could someone help to post a set of accurate hex color code for S4? Then I might be able to add a one-click button to preset all hex color code for S4.

I thought Samsung has fixed the accessibility issue on S4? The talkback issue is still there? This is the main reason I am not using accessibility in Light Manager but might include it when Samsung fixed the issue.
I have the 9500 not rooted /stock do I need root to get this application to work for whatsapp?

does the pulse notificatrion work with latest android kitkat - nexus 5?

i couldnt get mine working so i had to install light flow

I use LED LIGHT MANAGER.
Free: (with ads of course)
has lights for whatsapp, facebook messenger etc
I've used LightFlow since my Nexus 4 days, can't be without it and it has no affect on day-to-day use of the Nexus 5. The stock LED notifications are next to useless IMO

Try going into Display>Pulse Notification Light and toggle it. See if that works.

[Q] Control notifications LED

Which app do you use for customizing notifications LED? I've read some negative reviews for Light Flow Pro and Light Manager Pro, I really don't want to buy buggy app.

Light Manager works fine for me
If you get a WhatsApp message just disable the LED function within WhatsApp itself, because it conflicts with Light Manager.
Ledblinker pro because the dev owns an N5
Sent from my Android 5.0 Nexus 5
I tried Light Flow Pro, LED Blinker Pro and Light Manager Pro but none seem to work good. As soon as I get notification, LED will start blinking though, but so will display. It will turn on at least few times per minute, showing up screensaver or whatever that is (black screen with clock) and then slowly fade off. Any workarounds?
