What is the sense of this app? Work only as charger LED or when connected to PC.... I hope in future,notifiaction like Moto X Play LED is possible.

It also works using the LED Control App from the google play store. But I don't think that LED light is very useful

Didn't work for me

Didn't work for me, works only for charger and pc, i would like to recieve notification LED.

Very *exclusive*. Thanks anyway.

Search, it's posted all over the G4 forums.

can we enable it for notifications also?

Thank You :good:

It is kind of working. No blinking, the settings are not always respected - like if you set it to be on only during charging, it won't turn off at the end .
3 stars out of 5.

Works for notifications
Tasker is able to control the light. Means you can use it for notifications. There's also light flow that's able to control the light

have you tested using light flow.. not working for me
Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Yes light flow and Tasker both work fine. Play around with direct control, root and the different LEDs detected. Notification test feature is v useful in determining the right combo. Tasker works directly when selecting charging led.

Someone knows if moto G4 PLAY has hidden led too?

here it does not work, but I'll try again .. XT1640

[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?

Any ideas how to check out where's the problem? I'm on xTrasmooth ROM.

LED Notification Control?

On my original G Flex I was able to use an app called Light Manager, and that worked flawlessly. It seems Lollipop doesn't want to play nice. One of the features I became most accustomed to was the ability to know exactly what app had a notification before even turning on the screen.
Anybody had any luck controlling their LED color and flash rate based on specific app notifications? If so, what app do you use?
Light Flow
UPDATE:
I got Light Flow working. I'm not sure what exactly I did, but it involved toggling the sound settings until I was on loud (sound on) mode. I toggled the Notification LED switch in the settings. I have Light Flow running in Root mode, but I'm pretty sure it was working before I toggled that. I also have it controlling led:flash_0, led:flash_1, and wled under the Additional LEDs found section.
As LED control was one of the most important features for me, I'm not going to futz any further with what I have working. However, if others experience the issue, they're welcome to try each of these things individually to isolate what actually got it to work.
Lightflow not working with Flex 2
Hey Cmcarboni,
would you be so kind as to post your settings with which your Flex 2 functions with Lightflow?
The led:flash_0 and led:flash_1 I can get to work, but I am just interested in the front notification LED and tried nearly every combination of settings without any success.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: It's the H955 with Android 5.1.1 (V15c-EUR-XX)

[APP][Moto Display]Activate Moto Display by waving over proximity sensor

Hello everybody.
We all know that Moto Display is very useful and shows incoming notification. In Moto G and E devices, it activates when the phone is moved from its position, or when a flip cover over the phone is opened. However I have heard that in Moto X devices, it activates even if you wave over the proximity sensor.
So I thought of making a small app that does the same. It is on Play Store.

Its Says not an eligible device ( Moto E3 Power )?

Thanks for reporting. As far as I know, Moto E3 power has Moto Display.
This app checks for the availability of a package com.motorola.motodisplay. This is the package name of Moto Display in all Moto phones. Maybe that is not the package name in the case of E3.
It would be great if you could help me find out what is the package name in E3 as I don't have this device for testing purposes.
EDIT: E3 doesn't support Moto Display
It works perfectly with my moto g4 plus. What happens with the Music Volume Control Notification? I don't see.
And for the "Wave-n-hold for screen off" it works but when i touch my digital sensor my phone ask me for my pin to enter. Is ti normal?
Thank you for your great job!!!

Music volume control notification gives you an extra bubble on Moto Display to control the volume. Just like you can control Google Play Music directly from Moto Display.
The fingerprint sensor won't work with "wave and hold". It is an Android limitation and is normal.
Lastly, please reply in the relevant device's thread. This is for Moto E3 not G4.
Well I want to try all that features of root without rooting my Moto e3 power

Sorry, Moto E3 doesn't have Moto Display.
You can try Acdisplay... It is quite similar to moto dispaly.. it is available on play store for free... Go and try it...you are definitely gonna love it!
Thanks so much for this app. It's awesome!
Can we launch moto display in another way (eg via tasker)? In tasker I get a permission denied and I can't find the solution.
I'd like to put back the pulsing functionality in moto display. Simply have it wake the screen periodically to display notifications.
Thanks,
David.

No need to apologize!
I just think this post would be better being moved to a compatible device thread.
You know as well as I do people with an E3/E3 power will download it and then come here crying it doesn't work......

Moto G6: LED - confirmed

The LED is confirmed by Motorola. I asked them a question and got an answer.
My question:
" This little dot on the right side of the flash in front is what it is then? You can see it in good lighting (moto g6). "
Response from the Motorola:
" Thanks for asking, that's interesting. The little dot on the right side part of the front flash is a sign of life LED light. It would only show/activate when the battery is deeply discharged and it's plugged into the charger. "
There is hope that in unofficial rom you will be able to use it.
Woah, woah, woah, hold up. It had an LED the entire time? So, why can't we use it? Unless it's a single color LED.

Probably all Moto G6 variants have this. Unfortunately, I can not find anywhere information whether it is a single-color LED. Motorola is pursuing a strange policy, the previous models also had a hidden diode and hardly anyone knew about it.

I just saw this light turn on when I rebooted after flashing the OPW27.113-45 from this website

For now I do not see newer firmware and update system for Moto G6, I do not know how it is with the Plus version. This diode is useless. You have to wait for effective solutions from unofficial developers. Probably all you need is a well-functioning root and the right application to add functionality to this diode.
EX Kernel Manager can trigger the led to do things, I have root to it works. I've got it blinking on charge and solid when done.

I can also confirm this works through EX Kernel Manager on my Moto G6 Play XT1922-7 Boost Mobile variant, I'm using the "Battery charging blink full solid full" option in the app, this is pretty neat lol! :good:
Edit: The LED is to the left of the camera on my G6 Play
Can also confirm using ex kernel manager with xt1922-7 boost variant that it does allow the led to work with charging. As well as a few other options lol just which we could choose more than one led option. Would be nice to have it for charging AND notifications lol
Maybe contacting the dev or if someone knows how that works can build an app to control it?
After installing root on my moto g6, I launched this application:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.itsmeton.motoledenabler&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cyb.satheesh.lednotify
The diode works!
We need someone who will do a more polished application for our phones.

We know the diode works, we already confirmed that with EX Kernel Manager.
Hi! I recently rooted my G6 Plus in order to use this charging LED. My goal is to make it blink softly when a notification arrives. I tried using Tasker according to this guide, but it didn't really work: I got it to ascend the brightness level, but it won't descend at all, even when running the second while-loop separately. After this, I can't even manage to change the brightness level until reboot. Strangely though, the script works as intended when run from adb shell. I started using "echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/charging/blink" when a notification arrives and 0 when the screen is unlocked. However, this is not ideal since the default blink is not very soft and the maximum brightness is too high. How could I make the bash script work properly in Tasker?
@pake10
You will not change the brightness or color of this diode (it's one color) so do not get tired. It's a waste of your time.
@kemoti
Thanks for answering — however, I did manage to change the brightness and make it "blink" with the script. The color can't be changed and that's okay. It seems that my problem is with Tasker since it works fine from adb Shell.
EDIT: I got it working by creating my own application, for some reason Tasker and other similar applications didn't execute the bash script properly.
hahah motorola has been putting this led on every phone i eventually had bought. the first moto g had it for notifications but g4 plus and g6 play have is as a sign of life
I got the diode working via the Resurrection Kernel when my phone is charging, but the diode is so small that you can't even see that there's anything going on. The capability is still a nice touch though.

Thanks--your hint worked for me!
I have a G6 with Nov , 2018 patch (OPSS27.104-92-2), I can control the LED from tasker with:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/charging/brightness # turn on
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/charging/brightness # turn off

Missed Call/SMS Rear Flash Notification App needed

Is there a missed Call/SMS Rear Flash Notification App that works on an unrooted Moto G Stylus? I have tried many & either they didn't work or I was using them incorrectly.
I even tried FrontFlash Notification by an XDA member. Which did work on my rooted Moto G7 Power. And I couldn't get it to work on my unrooted Stylus.
