Is there an app in the market compatible with ics, to change the colour led?
Thanks

Thanks for that - phone is upstairs on charge (as usual with its battery life hah, and I'm that lazy to go fetch it) - but I'll check when I go to bed later. Feel stupid for not trying this!
Ive found that turning off the screen still dosnt work for me but the app does actually work when i miss a call or text.

Thanks! new to android phones, works perfectly
It certainly works well.
But I find it to not work at times. Once I enabled the "force run in foreground" then I couldn't turn my phone screen on and had to take the battery out. So I think I'm fine with having it worked almost 80% of the time
It's a great app, quick and easy to setup.
But it does stop working sometimes, I've had it once or twice.
Does anyone else have problems with Lightflow? The notifications work well but then after I've checked the email or whatever, I turn the screen back off and the light carries on flashing, even though I don't have any more notifications
It depends on the notification, but if it's a Gmail notification and I open Gmail it goes away.

The app uses a few methods of clearing notifications.
At the moment 2.7.2 has a bug if you choose "screen" as the clear notification style. It's fixed in the dev build, but not in the market yet.
The others are manual (where you have to manually clear a lightflow notification in your notification bar) and finally "app". (some apps such as gmail have extra methods)
"App" monitors for entering the app (or pressing the "clear all" button in older builds of android) and clears when you've entered the app.
I'm guessing that if you swipe away a notification from the notification bar that the led might still keep going as with Gingerbread there wasn't a method to clear single notifications directly from the notification bar. I'm hoping this has changed in ICS. I know the accessibility service has had things added to it, but nothing jumped out at me that would add in the relevant hooks.
Remember when upgrading the app from one version to another (there's been a few updates over the last few days) that I'd recomment powering off and back on the phone.
Looking forward to running lightflow on a GN myself as I've just picked one up today.
This gives me chance to see if there are any cool features I can add into lightflow for ICS and specifically the GN.
Now, just to get my "real" job out of the way for the day so I can start playing with the GN!
does using lightflow affect the battery alot?
Apparently it drains alot
Lightflow gave me Sleep of Death, so I uninstalled it. All ok now.
Trackball alert pro is pretty cool too, one of my favorite apps on the n1, it's now compatible with ics , but currently only works on the modaco rom.

For those with Enterprise email/Exchange if you ever used Touchdown - might be good to go back.
Their light notifications work fine with Galaxy Nexus - set different notification colors for email, calendars and tasks
PS The Touchdown Tablet HD (Honeycomb) version actually works better though you need to pinch zoom out the email list to get the font smaller

Are you sure it's lightflow. If it is I'd be keen to work out what's causing it.
If anyone who had this issue is using lightflow, could they switch on file logging and then at least if it does happen you can mail to log to me and I'll take a look, but I've heard of others getting the sleep of death that have never installed the app.
I've been using light flow since I got my nexus last week, never had any issues. Great app!

Hi All,
Been trying to find something that will work like NoLED for the SGS2. I have issues with NoLED in that in combination with Handcent sms and the popup notification, it gets its self in all sorts of messes (loops etc).
I've seen there is a BLN mod for SGS1 which allows the buttons to act as notification lights (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813389) however there's nothing that I can find that works for SGS2.
Anyone found a solution?
BLN is supposed to be very close to being released for our SGS2.
i'm using NoLed since the first day i bought the phone and there's no issue.
+1 for this thread
Coming from a Desire, Im really missing my LED notifications... So any alternative is highly appreciated.
Can't use NoLED because I'm using WidgetLocker and therefore I disabled the stock lockscreen (which I truly HATE!)

Compability issues appears if you run widgetlocker, handcent etc. Noled also disables the functions of the sliders that appear on stock lockscreen. You know the one you get an SMS and a slider appears that takes you direct to the message. Function is broken with noled

I'm running Go SMS, WidgetLocker and NoLED and haven't come across any issues yet...
Can apps like this cause a burn in? And wont the continuous screen-on weaken the colors over time?

Answer, yes it could cause burn in, I don't think colours will be damaged though.
The biggest issue here will be battery drain. Using an app like this users processor power and screen power at a time the phone would normally be sleeping.

Function is broken? Not for me, works with the messages slider without any problems. Also, since I started using Handcent I have had no problem with noled either, noled works everytime I get a message, email etc. Strange how it works no problem for some but others have nothing but problems. :-(
use application BubbleBuzz from Android market
I got a problem with Noled in that if I use "other icons" for calls (Phone), the phone flashes and show who is ringing but immediately after that, the screen off the display in split second and only shows the green phone icon moving randomly(which signifies a missed call) even though the call is still ringing
Not sure if its explained clearly enough though.
Did I set it wrong?
I can't use anything with noled, not widgetlocker not the sliders from stock lockscreen etc :/ thats weird

I have both Wigetlocker and NoLed and they work fine together. At one time on my SGS i9000m they had a conflict but i spoke with the dev of NoLed and was informed that a fix was coming and i have the latest NoLed on my SGS II and have no issues...

Me too no issues at all ..thanks to madmac .
NoLed works perfect with Widgetlocker, just check settings in both programs to make sure nothing is blocking unintentionally
Has anyone seen any update for this? I've tried reinstalling it and still have issues. I need something like NoLED badly
Hi Guys,
Maybe im just being a bit slow here. But i cant seem to get NoLED working on my SGS2.It works for a few seconds then the screen power down kicks in and the screen goes completely black. I can change the timeout settings on the display to max of 10 mins but that doesnt work at all it just shuts down after a few seconds.
All i want it a notification led, damn samsung its the one thing thats missing from the phone. Even if someone has some other apps that might do.
Working fine here. Only thing that's not cool, is that you've to wake the phone with home button instead but that's no biggie.
Are you using WidgetLocker? Because I heard that they don't play well together.
Working fine for me too.

Mine works just fine and I can wake my device with the home button with no issue. The icon stays blinking on the screen until I either press the power button which then shuts off the screen completely and pressing it again turns the screen back on to the noled icon and when I press the home button it takes me to my lockscreen and then into my phone to retreive the notification.
This is exactly how it worked on my old SGS and is how it works now on my SGS II.
Also... I had noled working well with Widgetlocker for over a week and then all of a sudden some conflicts / bugs appeared. For example... When I would receive a text, noled would show my Gmail icon instead of my text icon until I restarted noled completely so I just uninstalled widgetlocker and all is back to normal now.

For the people here that are having the issue with NoLed and between NoLed and Widgetlocker... Are you running the latest version of the NoLed app?
As I said, I used to have a problem with NoLed and Widgetlocker with an OLD version of NoLed but now when running the latest version of EACH app I have really no problems.
Search the forums for the NoLed thread (I used to see it in the Galaxy S forums quite a bit) and see what the newest version of NoLed is.

i used widgetlocker 2.1.0 with noled 4.3.2, i suppose both are the latest one available in the market. SMS notification is ok, though i have to select as notification for other app, not as sms notification, since im using Go SMS. For call, i got no idea how to get it work. still havent tried 4.4.1b which is not officially released to the market yet
I would much rather have an app that turns on the LED left of the home-button...
Exactly WHAT kind of message I received doesn't matter, I just want to know there is something new...
I have now learned that this function exists: BLN
two major reasons for me not to go for it:
1) app is not for free
2) sms doesn't set it off
So until it has evolved into a fully working ROM feature: noled.

Nothing else have noticed that problem?
I have had this problem as well on my VZW nexus on AOKP m5 and earlier versions as well. It doesn't happen all of the time, but maybe 10-15% of the time with SMS and at least 90% of the time with gmail.
I can see a gmail come in on the notification light on my Xoom, but nothing happens on my phone, I'll check the phone 5 min later and the email is there but no notification.

Thanks for the idea, I have not tried the light flow app; but I have asked in another forums and people with than app also have noticed the problem.
Anyway, the objetive is to find the bug and report it to google, so they can fix it in the next update for our Gnex
Anyone else with the problem?
Is the option checked in each program? Those who flash rooms and rebuild everything might forget an app or two that does not have the option on by default.

I've noticed from time to time as well... But the other thing is that even when it does blink, it often shuts off fairly shortly afterwards.
It would be nice if there was options to ensure that it blinks and keeps blinking until you acknowledge it.
Light Flow works perfectly for me. Never had an issue with it not blinking or blinking incorrectly.
I use it as not all the apps I have on my phone have LED light functionality natively, and Light Flow takes care of that.

Hey guys. Im having a problem with Light Flow. Im sure a lot of you use it? Although i couldnt find many threads on it. I even searched Google for this issue. So hopefully you guys can help.
Anyways im using Light Flow 3.0.2
And it works great but a lot of the time ill get a notificiation (screen will be off) the LED will flash its appropreate color. Ill check the notification (Lets say Gmail) read the email, delete the email, respond to the email w/e and turn the screen off again.
Then the LED will still be flashing for that notification even though i checked it and erased it.
The only way i have found to fix this other then reboot ofcourse is to go into Light Flow > Notifications. I notice when i do this LightFlow gets granted Superuser then i exit turn screen off and all is good.
Any ideas?

So i found out a little more.
So for me before 4.1.1 SMS was my biggest issue that notification would never go away unless i manually cleared it with the app or the widget.
I noticed that is was working on 4.1.1 after i went to accessibility and turned it off and then on again for Lightflow. after i did this i noticed that the notification for SMS was clearing on its own. So i thought it was all good.
UNTIL
I reset/tuned off the phone and received another txt. The notification would not clear on its own. So i was messing around with it and went back to accessibility and turned it off and on again and now the SMS notification clears itself until the next reset of the phone.
Hope it works for you guys. I dont mind toggling a setting until an update comes out.
lightflow issues not fixed on 4.1.1 derp :silly:
Gtalk and Gmail both clear correctly. Gonna see how it is with SMS and Missed Call when I get one of those.
uh. what's up with the title of this thread?
How about on 4.1? Is it playing nice on there? A ToroPlus GNex here...I will buy it if yes
I just downloaded the lite to try it. I feel like its hit or miss. Too much customization and easy to get lost. For example, right now, I have two different notifications going off for like SMS and email. Because within the SMS and email app themselves I've defined a notification sound and then within light flow settings you can define a sound. So I get x2. I think the trick may be to go into the app settings themselves and set them to silent. Then use light flow and set the sounds up. That seems to be the KEY. However, there is a learning curve it seems to this APP. Once you set it up, your good...but dam it takes awhile.
Colors are working good though, but the dismissal of notification via "opening the app" dont work worth crap. You have to set it to "on screen" dismissal
Plus I found myself disabling and re-nabling the app from withing settings --> Accessibility often.

No, I was fine on 4.0.4 but when i went to 4.1 it stopped working, I'm now on 4.1.1 and it's still not working.
It is a fantastic app though, I'm sure the developer will update the app eventually to work with 4.1.1.

The only way to do this is to leave the screen on, which would drain the battery. There's probably an app that would turn the screen off (or dim it), but this would keep your phone awake and drain the battery.
Someone feel free to chime in and correct me if there is such an app.

Just wait for PGM to be updated for Nexus 4 support, OP; I can vouch for its greatness. You can enable double tap or slide to unlock gesture to turn the screen on. Once you get used to this, you seriously forget you have a power button.

It was so convenient to just glance at the phone and see it was work texting yet again and mutter under my breath for them to piss off and then go back to playing Xbox without ever having to touch the phone.

with GoSMS i always choose the option for the pop up box and the options to unlock the phone, so when it's sitting on my desk next to me it lights up

Try Light flow for that... I think you can set a custom LED color and the screen to come on with certain notifications.
Yeah I've got Light Flow. You can set the LED colour and the screen to come on with some notifications. There is a 'lite' version which should cover the basics. But if you dont use the stock messenger or use things like Whatapp, you need the paid for version.
I use it and it has great customisation BUT at the moment I can't get it to work 100% of the time. So be warned!
It will be great though once they update it for 4.2.

For now I'm settling for half of the equation; screen off with a double tap. I'm using screen off and lock from Play.
I had PGM on my GN and it works very well, the developer is planning on getting an N4 the last I heard.
I'm currently looking into getting the phone to wake using the volume rocker -- I'm reading that it's inside android.policy.jar and removing two lines that ignore the volume rocker button presses.
Anyone want to give it a go? I'm going to look into it this weekend.

For the Gnex there's an app called “PGM", I emailed the developer if he had intention to update the app so it works with the Nexus⁴, but sadly he doesn't have the phone yet.

I emailed him too! That is one of the best app out there, in terms of the idea behind it. No real battery drain, but still be able to wake your device from sleep. I died a little after getting that email.
Kinda hope someone would do something like that for N4.
You can use Tasker+Secure Settings (pro version) to use the Google Now shortcut to unlock/lock the device, but there is no waking the device.
I too am waiting for pgm! That would be amazing

That feature works fine in the Paranoid Android ROM
