I used LF in the past before I rooted and had issues with it.....does it work better on a rooted phone?
I used Blackberry's before Android came out and miss the function of changing the LED to colors for specific apps.
Please advise and thank you!
Idk if it'll work better on rooted devices, but I know on AOKP, there's a feature built in to change the color depending on the app and also just standard notifications.

Idk the difference in use if you're rooted or not but as a rooted user Light Flow hasn't failed me personally. I've been using it since the dev fixed the LED issue on GSIII's in Nov or Dec and I think its great. Since I use TW roms, LED color tweaking isn't supported within the rom settings so Light Flow cemented its presence on my phone. As tylerawhon said, AOSP roms often have this built-in so those folks may not have as much a need for Light Flow.
I'm giving Light Manager a try, and it seems to have what I'm looking for in an LED app. We'll see how it goes!

Since the new VRBMB1 or the last update VRBLK3, Light Flow has been working without the need to use root or the special US S3 mode. I found out myself that for VRBMB1 you must have the Notifications enabled in the LED Indicator settings or you won't be seeing any LED statuses. Just as long as you uncheck all the other stuff, it won't conflict with Light .
Apologies if this has been asked before, but search did not bring up anything usefull :
Since I upgraded my N5 from KitKat (Purity) to Lollipop (Cataclysm) the notification LED no longer lights up while the phone is charging (neither by cable nor wireless). The LED however works correctly for notifications (Email & SMS).
I also tried installing & configuring Light Flow, but still no LED while charging.
Is this a known L bug ? Any workaround ?
No stock build for the nexus 5 has ever had charging led

That's not a bug. Some rom don't have that feature
Oh sorry, I didn't stay on stock long enough to notice THanks for your help !
Hello,
I'm probably the newest user of ReflexBow. I'm using the Pleasure Paradox, and I'm quite satisfied I must say... I'm recommending to try it out, if anyone are looking for a new ROM. It's completely lagg-free as I experience it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-desire-s/development/mokee-t2956157
However, I've come across something I can't figure out. The LED/Lamp in front of the phone, the one to blink red when low on batt or "steady" when charging, is not functioning as "green blink" if i've got a missed call or when i've recieved a SMS i havent red. (I do get a steady green when the batt is fully charged.)
The ROM is based on: AOSP, CyanogenMod and MoKee
Is there an option somewhere, which allows me to "enable/link" it to notifications? I've searched, but I cant seem to find it anywhere.
Initially, im not interested in any PlayStore-apps due to the memory consumption which follows.
Thanks.
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

. Maybe it already works somehow in default ROM?

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
Hello Guys !!
First of all, I have to say that this smartphone is really great and beautiful but somes things are bothering me ^^".
Sometimes my phone don't vibrate when receiving notifications (when it does).
Speaking of vibration, how the hell it is not possible to increase the vibrations when receiving messages or calls (I don't speak about touch screen vibration) ? I can't even feel the vibrations in my pocket .
Something else is really not cool from Xiaomi is that they have limited the screen unlock with bluetooth devices to their own products.
Notifications have always been an issue on chineses devices but, come on, we are in 2019 and not in a old Meizu :/
Anyway if you have solution for any of my issue please tell me, does a custom rom would allow to control the vibrations ?
ps: sorry for my english if I have made mistakes
Thanks !
My recommendation is to unlock your bootloader, flash twrp & install the EU ROM. Notifications on the global were terrible for me also, or you can flash the Pixel Experience ROM if you should wish....:good:

Yes, I will definitely install an eu rom, is there a way on the eu roms to adjust vibrations ? or to install/flash something to enable it ?

The new Global ROM that was released yesterday fixed the most serious issues with notifications... like Google Messages not showing them at all!
I was using PE ROM, but the dodgy camera app was annoying me so I switched back.
I really, really wish Xiaomi would change the behaviour on the lockscreen, where current notifications are cleared from the lockscreen when the phone is unlocked.. but I'm not holding my breath on that one.
The eu rom is also borked for Google Messages. You can get it to work, but it's fiddly and unreliable.
