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.

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.
On all custom Roms I've tried so far (and they've been a few), there's an ongoing problem while using Android Auto connected to the car's built-in display. Basically, if you plug in your phone and start using AA, after a while the bottom bar on the car's display will disappear, and although you can keep driving and AA will keep working, once you stop and unplug the phone from the car, the phone will lock you out and it's screen will start to flicker and go crazy, giving you no other option but to force reboot the phone.
This issue was present on MIUI Oreo roms as well, but since they updated to Pie last month, it was addressed and a fix was found (seems it was related to the devices default display drivers). For custom Roms, there's a temporary workaround, which is to disable hardware overlays in developer settings, but you need to do this every time you reboot your phone since these settings don't stick permanently.
I've posted and mentioned this issue on several different custom ROM threads, but as far as I know, none of the devs has acknowledged the issue nor has tried to find a solution. So, the question is; how many of you have the same problem?
Please provide your feedback, as it would be good to let the devs know this is not unimportant or isolated.

On which MIUI Version are you having that problem?
Which car display with which software version are you using?
For me with MIUI 8.12.27 weekly EU version and Skoda Bolero display I'm not having the issue you describe.

Yes, and it was (plenty of comments on MIUI forums and over the net, if you want to take a look...) They fixed it on Pie, and if you're still running Oreo and don't have issues, then I guess they fixed it there, too.
This poll, topic and thread is for the issues still affecting Aosp based custom roms, such as Crdroid, PE, Lineage, etc.
Even I would like to know the result of this poll. I am on the verge of trying out a custom ROM (since i am done with the bugs in MIUI). But if AA doesn't work on custom ROM, it is a showstopper for me.
Hi,
I have a different issue with Android Auto.
My problem is that when I connect to Android Auto, after a couple of minutes (1-2, 2-3 minutes) the screen on the car's display seems to be stuck, and from then on it doesn't follow my progress on the way. The screen itself is not frozen, because e.g. I can make a reroute but after it is done it goes back to the "original" state of my route when it stopped progressing. The screen remains responsive regarding the controls because I can even change to Google Maps on the car's AA display, and it works flawlessly.
Anyone else had this issue?

I'm currently on Crdroid, and in my opinion it's the one that works best. As for the AA issue, it's present on all custom roms, but for the time being, I'm using the workaround I mentioned on OP and can use AA fully.

Strange, I tried an EU rom about a couple of weeks ago for a few days and AA worked out of the box. Didn't like the MIUI stuff, though, so reverted back to Crdroid.
I however remember I flashed the full MIUI rom completely, wiping everything and starting from scratch, so if you want to stick with MIUI, maybe you should do a fresh install...

Thanks, I had read you could use tasker for that, but it's a paid app and I wouldn't be using it for anything else at the moment. I'm fine with remembering to disable it manually. Still, I believe the issue has to be addressed at some point by the devs...
One General question:
The only thing keeping me away from custom roms is the AA issue. Nice to hear that at least we have a workaround.
At the moment i am on MIUI Android pie and using a VW in build AA Display. The issue i'm having is that WhatsApp notifications are not shown on the Display. I can send WhatsApp Messages via Ok Google but not able to hear received messages.
Do you guys have the same issue?

Wouldn't be able to confirm that, although I did read somewhere that if you're using any Dual apps on MIUI, AA won't work correctly. Are you using two WhatsApp accounts by any chance...?
I can tell you though that on the current rom I'm using (crdroid), they do work and appear on the cars screen, although most of the time there's no notification ringtone whenever they arrive. Since that was happening on my previous phones too, be it on nougat, oreo and pie, I guess that's a problem with AA itself...
Thanks for your quick reply.
Happy to hear that it is generally working.
Not using dual Apps. Will try to flash a custom Rom in the next days

This is my setup:

If it still won't work, then Im guessing it could maybe be due to different screen panels or something...

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.

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.

Same here. Never noticed this working on mine either now you mention it. China spec in UK also.
Doesn't work with global rom in UK either! I use True Edge from google play store, but even that is hit and miss (and it's not brilliant on the battery). Not sure why a company who doesn't include a notification LED doesn't do more for other methods of notifying.

It's only lighting up once or twice. Don't expect more. It's ok like that. If you want more then install from playstore. There a couple of apps which has similar settings for incoming messages calls, etc.

Can I ask you which update you have now , mine received update once only and may security until now
Yeah same issue here. Always On display is the only workaround I can think of.
With no LED they need a way to let you know of missed calls and text messages..
Can anyone recommend an alternative app?

I've tried:
True Edge
Always on Edge
Always on AMOLED
Notify Edge
All are *huge* battery suckers
Currently using Notify Buddy by Xander Apps. Seems to be the best for battery useage and lights up a circle (which is an absolute PITA to position). I have it perpendicular to the camera punch on right of screen. Works for *most* apps but not all.
Don't agree with the comment about notification only lighting once or twice is useful. We have notification sounds for that!

I think this is more if you are away from your phone or it's on silent. You want to be able to glance at your phone and know if there is something important pending. (like a missed call). At this point in time without Always on Display there is no way to do this.
Thanks for the app recommendation
I did try NotifyBuddy though didnt work for me.. No LED coming up.
i think always on display is the best option. at least it's a factory app designed to be run all the time.
For anyone not sure it's called "Screen off Clock" in the Oppo settings.

Took an age for me to "find" the LED on screen. Had to manually position and then use the overly-sensitive pseudo mouse to eventually find it. Move it a millimetre and it's gone again!
Similar issue on my UK purchased device, just over a month now, one update since purchase - CPH2025CPW_11_A.24 (still on June security patch!!)
Initially screen light effect for lock screen notifications worked but in the last few days has stopped lighting up for messages. Works fine for incoming calls though...
Hi all. In this Video the reviewer states that he isn't getting any notifications with the screen off. Also it is a problem for one of our members. Is anyone else having these hassles? Do you get incoming text, email AUDIO notifications without waking the phone?
Hi
I have no issue with notification at all..
Even when screen is off ..
U do have to active notification from each app setting and alow all permissins...
Also keep in maind to keep app running remove battery restriction from app setting also..
All will work normal
Working for me but I did need to grant WhatsApp and Trurcaller lots of permissions.
I even got True Edge installed for a visual way to get notified and that works brilliantly with the device asleep with screen off.
I was a bit surprised at the extra level of permissions needed. It's all gravy now, but I could see why a reviewer or somebody unaware would get caught out
But yes, I am getting notifications with the screen off in sound and visually, without having to wake the phone.
Indeed at first I wasn't getting any notifications but then I discovered you need to go into the app info and give permission for notifications and turn off battery saver.. now it works perfect and only for the apps I want
The video the OP posted is exactly whats happening to me. I have all the settings as described. Battery saver turned off and even when into each apps settings and allowed ALL permissions just to see if it would work. As the video says, notifications come, but you have to wake the device to see them, there is no sound or anything on screen until the device is woke. Exactly as the video describes. I do hope its fixed soon, I am back to using my Note 5 whilst my beautiful 10 Ultra sits in its box.

The video the OP posted is exactly whats happening to me. I have all the settings as described. Battery saver turned off and even when into each apps settings and allowed ALL permissions just to see if it would work. As the video says, notifications come, but you have to wake the device to see them, there is no sound or anything on screen until the device is woke. Exactly as the video describes. I do hope its fixed soon, I am back to using my Note 5 whilst my beautiful 10 Ultra sits in its box.

Have you undone your earlier modifications to the phone (copying files from phone to phone etc)?
You have two problems and the one to ignore for now is louder notifications. It's notifications at all.
It isn't something to fix from Xiaomi's view and it is always worth learning the software. I don't like it myself... It can be cloying etc.
But the default behaviour is to opt in to notifications. It's working as intended. That said look where we are, it's just your problems are a special case. No biggie, let's fix this!
You have an outstanding issue clouding this where you are trying to use unexplained files on the device (like seriously what format are they? Does it work in Music or anything? Have you tried removing them?)
Took a while but I get all my notifications now when screen is off, see 2vattached screen shots
Thanks all for answering my question! I think this is my last question before buying from Liaow.com, if the syncing isn't a constant problem. Does anyone have a major syncing problem as explained in this review? Once or twice a day I can deal with. I check the calendar throughout the day like most people. However if I get busy and forget, missing calendar events/alarms wouldn't work for me. I'd be forced to use my work iPhone<shudder> for calendar events lol.

How did you get the icons to show on the lock screen?
Mine doesn't. Quite annoying.
Also sometimes the lockscreen doesn't show me notifications even tho they are there.. :s
I have no issues with icons displaying while locked. You do need to enable them and ensure they start automatically and power control is turned off for the app. It has been much easier in the EU ROM for some reason.
Solution!
Here is the thing that helped me with the same notification issue! Just google "xiaomi mi 10 ultra notifications" and in the top 5 links you'll probably find an article from: theunpopulartraveller. It explains the settings, and they need to be accessed by pressing and holding the app icon ^ app info.
Don't give up, try and you'll get the sounds from needed apps back. And ye, actually now I find the way Xiaomi did it much more convenient: I just turned on notifications for 2 apps, and all the rest are silent, while previously I had to turn off all the rest of the apps (much more than 2, definitely) not to get disturbed by all the bull****.
EU Rom doesn't have the "importance" option at 30/31
Well after trying to update to 12.1.1 and seeing what a buggy heap of junk it was, I factory reset, installed 12.0.15, and formatted data. But now notifications don't work when the screen is off whatsoever, absolutely no notifications. Beautiful. I'm so sick of the software issues with this phone, I'm definitely never buying another Xiaomi phone at this point.

Disable adaptive notifications from setting. I dont know what google thinking when creating such feature.
it basically interrupt the whole notification process. Using so called Ai to decide, when to give you notifications or when not to. But most of the time it pick wrong decision and delay our notification altogether.
This is android feature since Q thus also causing problem on Pixel phone. On xiaomi seems like it suddenly got worse on Android 11

How did u manage to roll back to 12.0.15?
Get over to the EU ROM version. Lock screen notifications work fine.
Have you checked each notification that it has no battery optimisation set, also, check in notifications that each one has access to the lock screen. Since A11, notifications have been a pain but for some reason they do work much better on the EU ROM.

There are issues for Gpay and some banking / local safetynet apps for EU ROM which i do not wish to live with.
Somehow the props file in the eu rom causes those issues.
i am probably going to rollback to 12.0.15... now is the excruciating 160 hours wait for unlock.
You obviously don't follow the EU forums. GPay works, safeynet works and my UK bank works. But you also get everything plus more than the Chinese stock and all updates are based on both weekly and stable stock ROMs respectively.

i don't follow it to the tee, but i've seen some reports of some users not able to use gpay out of the stable roms.
that's why.. too much trouble.. i'll see what i can do when the unlock timer is up..
