Anyone managed to get the Ring Doorbell working on P40 Pro without GS ?
It says it needs it but I remember I had issues with notifications on my P30 Pro.
It runs, shows the video feed but no notifications
Most apps won't send notifications without GMS - this includes things like Blink and Nest. The only workaround without hacking is to see if the app supports email notifications, like in the case of Nest and then use a client like Aqua Mail that supports Push via Gmail if you use it.
Anyone managed to activate notification on Ring 3 or Ring 3 Plus? I have Aqua Mail if it helps in any way.

I am having same problems with ring Doorbell. Don't get any Notification at all. Once I tried Icebox freeze but when I unfreeze Google framework I get Play store error and had to downgrade and reinstall GSM.
Is there a way out?
Many thanks

Maybe it's just me, but I've not been able to get LightFlow to work with Hangouts. I've set up contacts, and specific colors/sounds, but they get over ruled by the default Hangouts notifications (for SMS at least). Has anybody got this working? Do I have to disable the default Hangouts notification for LightFlow to work?
Version 3.12.5 - 07 November 2013
- Fixed android app store links
- Contact specific notifications for google voice
- Contact specific notifications for hangouts (with some limitations)
- Workaround for nexus 5 not being able to have the led always on
- Fixes for kitkat stock email app
- Support for sms hangouts integration in kitkat
- Better layout of notification list for full hd screens
- Fixed clearing of some sms messages in android 4.3 upwards
just wanted to say i also have this problem.
Light Flow has had a problem playing nice with Hangouts so far, even after the newest update which claims to address these problems. They were working somewhat okay before (albeit notifications were highly inconsistent), but now they just don't work at all with Hangouts. If you read the comments on the Google Play page for Light Flow, a number of users have mentioned this too. So I'm hoping it's a known issue and will be fixed in the next update.
Mine works fine. 3/4 of the time. There's sometimes it doesn't clear the notification. This is for the SMS integration in hangouts. I have custom contacts for colors too. And I have to manually clear it.

try going into the individual notifications you have set and for the clearing method for each one select :Screen on, rather than manually do so etc etc.
I'm now getting duplicate notifications for my specific contacts that I set up in LightFlow. I can get around this by disabling the SMS Hangouts notification, but then it doesn't make any sounds for the contacts that are not set up in LightFlow.
I wish Google/Android devs would actually let me assign different notification sounds (similar to ringtones) for SMS/Hangouts from the contact itself... I've already requested this in the Hangouts product forum https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/hangouts
Use "ledblinker" it works great! Make sure to restart your phone after installation! Lightblow doesn't work

when you search leadblinker in the playstore, it's one word btw
Have you tried contacting the developer through the app? It'll include a diagnostic log, and just explain to him what the issue is. I did this and he literally replied a minute later, explaining that there is a fix on the way and also a workaround to use in the meantime.

it's not a problem with the app, because it's working correctly, but it's an annoyance due to google designing the way hangouts can notify.

I'm pretty sure mine is working OK. I checked settings and I have the following checked;
Enable Light Flow
Root Mode
Run in foreground
Enable Clear All
Accessibility Check
Then for Hangouts SMS and MMS
Enabled
Pull Down
Switch Screen On
Last, set pulse notification light on in Settings, Display.
Hope that helps. Oh, I also have the Lite version.
Mine works fine for SMS and that seems to be about it. I don't really get other notifications often so I can't recall if they work, but SMS is most important to me... root mode, does NOT run in foreground, and SMS apps + MMS set to white. Hangouts is set to yellow but I use it for SMS and it notifies me in white.
After the recent update of Light Flow, now my hangout SMS led notification doesn't work. I tried resetting my phone and doing all the tricks for Nexus 5 but it would not work. The only way to make it work is to set up all notifications for hangouts and disable the SMS notifications. Im wondering if they changed the SMS notifications for hangouts or something. Other then that I have no problems with it for now.

Thanks, that works on my Galaxy Nexus running 4.4.
Light Flow seemed to be the source of much battery drain for me. I'm having more luck with light manager.
I use Light Manager and it works like a charm, however, I don't have it set to different colors for SMS, MMS, and Hangouts since I use the Hangouts app for all 3
I thought the LED (hardware) is white only.

I am looking for a way I can disable selected distractive apps during particular time of the day but still want to receive calls, sms or messages from particular selected apps.
In my old rooted phone I have used AFwall+ for that reason so selected apps can't access Internet connection. Since I haven't rooted my new phone and not planing of doing that atm so I cant use AFwall+.
Also I can't just turn off phone Internet connection because I need some selected apps stay connected.
So lets say I want to have such setup:
Viber - disable
SMS - enable
Skype - disable
FB - disable
FB messanger - enable
Gmail - disable
Calls - enable
disable means I do not want this app to access Internet and distract me with any sort of UI notifications
enable means I want the app working and deliver notifications for me as normal
Any thoughts ?
First, I think you mean distracting, not destructive.
Greenify can block the apps, but not only during certain times of the day.

It is interesting app that disabling notifications but Android still showing the rounded notifications badges over icons. Is there a way to getting rid of these badges too?
UPDATE 1:
I just was following this article that https://www.h3xed.com/mobile/how-to-remove-icon-badge-notifications-on-android-samsung-touchwiz but button 'disable' is not active so I cant disable the 'BadgeProvider'
UPDATE 2:
Then I followed this one http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...e-disable-app-icon-badge-counter-s7-edge.html and by using 'Package Disabler Pro' the 'BadgeProvider' was being successfully disabled.
So basically in order to stop notifications on non rooted S7 we need to apps
1) Greenify
2) Package Disabler Pro

Facebook notifications work however Messenger doesn't? Seems rather odd, anyone managed to get around it?
Is fb messenger set as the default messaging app?
Edge lighting has a list of apps you can enable but Messenger is not in there. Facebook app is in the list but Messenger isn't for some reason. I'm wondering if it's Samsung or Messenger developers who have to tweak something for Messenger to be in that list and have Edge lighting working.

Quick menu > Second page > Edge Lighting icon
Long-press it and there will be a list of apps there.
I have enabled it for all apps and so far it worked one time out of two with Textra, for some reason. All good for the 3 Snapchat notifications I received since I have the phone. Didn't have other notifications to test yet.

I know HOW to set it up, what I'm saying is, it doesn't work. At all.

This worked for me....
After looking this up more I found someone had tried this
Settings > Display > scroll all the way to bottom Keep Screen Turned Off make sure that is off
I did this and it now works for messages all the time but varies for what's app.

It doesn't seem to work when the screen is off for Hangouts either. (Although I think I saw it working when the screen was on.)
Seems that I can only get it to work for my messages only. All else fails...
I got it working. See this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72027923&postcount=14

I use this but the "message preview" is an empty LightFlow icon with no text
Any alternatives?

Same for me, but at least we found why edge lighting was not working, it's a good start. To have the actual app notification message instead of the Light Flow icon, I think the app needs to support natively "wake up screen" for notifications.
I don't know if the Light Flow developers would be able to pass the notification informations (variables?) from the app to Lighting Edge but maybe it'd be a good idea to give them a hint about it. I did send an email earlier today to Messenger developers about it but I doubt they'll receive it or open it, let alone actually do something about it.. but I tried.
I really like the Edge Lighting concept and I hope Samsung will keep developing it and one day soon we'll be able to choose the lighting colors for each app, because right now it's blue, no matter what app.
Got it to work, Kinda!

The full fledged facebook messenger app didn't work for me, so I tried the messenger lite version, and much to my surprise, the pill notifications with edge lighting now work when I receive facebook messages!
The main downside is that quick reply in-line in the notification card is not supported in facebook messenger lite, although I think i can make due without this, because when I used direct reply, the notification badge would never go away until i long-pressed the app and manually cleared it (even if I opened the app and viewed the "unread" message).
Hope this helps! I have managed to get most of my apps working with edge notifications with playing around. Sometimes I have had to go into specific apps notification settings and play around with toggles and they started working all of the sudden. The last one I'm trying to get to work is the stock email app, but it seems like there's a fundamental flaw because even with edge lighting off, no notification card pops down when I receive an email. May switch to gmail again, but I was also reading that people were having trouble with notification cards on that app as well.
I cannot post a URL to the facebook messenger lite app on apk mirror, but if you go to that site and search for the app, just download the most recent version: Version: 7.0.0.9.280 (57368212)
I've just across this thread after trying to get FB messenger to work, like others have already said the edge lighting is a bit random. I have the default messenger app working when screen is on or off, Whatsapp only when screen is on and FB messenger just not at all.
I used to use lightflow before to customise my notification light, didn't want to go down the router of installing it to fix something that should just work.
recently I find out that the calling screen of OTT applications which have calling feature such as facebook messenger, viber... will be overridden by edge lighting screen (only when screen is off) if you enable edge lighting for these apps, because of that facebook tell samsung to remove their messenger app out of list apps that support edge lighting
enable edge lighting when screen off for viber then use another phone to make a viber call to your S8, you will see what I am trying to say
Edge lighting seems useless. I mainly wanted to use it for Facebook Messenger and pretty much every app is in the list except that. I also enabled it for Gmail and Messages but have never actually seen it work.
Hello. I've got solution. This app translates old style notifications to new style notifications so all the apps have edge notifications enabled. You can customize color for any application and turn on/off edge notifications. Very good application, not like the others, which creates fakes color effects around display. It even works on AOD display, which is perfect. Ofc it has few bugs, like if you enable notification and scroll up than back, it shows like it didn't save your settings, but it did. Just set all your apps, turn off app and on and you can see, that it remembered all your settings. I've reported that bug, so I hope it get fixed. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.movisoft.edgelighting&rdid=com.movisoft.edgelighting

I can get it to work on my text app, but not Facebook. How did you get it to work on Facebook? I heard that it won't work on Messenger.
For some reason on my OnePlus 6, when I get a hangout notification, the icon appears in the status bar, but it won't pop up with the heads-up notification allowing me to reply. Also hangout message notifications do not vibrate or play a sound, even though I have vibrate/sounds enabled in the Hangouts app. This is really frustrating, as I completely miss messages until the next time I check my phone.
I disabled Xposed, gravity box, it's basically 100% stock except for root via Magisk.
Anyone else have this problem, or a suggestion on how to fix? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Hangouts.
Thanks
So I decided to do a factory reset. And now I don't get Hangouts notifications AT ALL. No icon, no sound, nothing. Nothing until I go into the app. Then all the missed mesages are loaded and show as unread and play the sound, but only once I actually open the app.
I have Hangouts ignoring battery optimization, and have made sure any and all notification settings are enabled. Notifications are coming through fine on my OnePlus5. Although I have also tried signing out on all my other devices, but I still can't get any on tbe OnePlus 6.
Might be a hangouts thing. I had this on my 6P. Wouldn't show anything until I opened the app....
