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?

Did you make sure you don't have any other app notifications that have the same color?
Are you using any task killers or killing the app with the hold of back button?
Same issue here, disabled it until it gets an update to support JB.

for me
when removed the app it disabled the vibration for new sms, gmail ..etc
tried everything without success (disabled settings & re-enable it, rebooting, ...etc), so I didn't bother to install it again after a factory reset (stock ICS by the way)
if anyone had the same problem and knew how to correct it let me know.
delete me please
There is a lightflow widget that clears all lightflow notifications when tapped.
I am just using that while waiting for a fix (which couldn't come soon enough).
FYI guys with JB 4.1.1 I got light flow to work 100%

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.

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!

I am really really happy that the galaxy nexus has a notification light. That was the thing preventing me from moving on from my nexus one.
Of course I wish Google would make the notification light more customizable because as it stands its really worthless by default.
I'm using light flow to help but its not perfect. Maybe its just not ready for ics yet or I'm doing something wrong but these r the problems I'm encountering:
In Google talk when I type a message and the screen goes off, the notification light comes on as if the person has responded but its being triggered by my own message. The only way I've been able to help with this is to hit menu>end chat after typing my message.
The other issue is with Google voice. I don't see a notification light up for it. Do any of you know if the paid version of the app will do it for Google voice?
Thirdly it doesn't seem to stop the sounds from the notifications in the night time mode...it turns off the light, but even though in that option I have it set to do the sound as well, it doesn't do it. I had to go into the sound settings and just turn off the notification sound (which actually didn't help, I had to go into each apps settings and turn it off there).

I was having same problems - light won`t stop flashing even after I checked received sms or missed phone call. Had to uninstall app But once its fixed, I will be first to install it - fantastic!
Anyone else know if there's any other app that can configure the lights?
I've bought a few over the years for my other devices but haven't tried any for Galaxy Nexus yet.
I've noticed though in Google Voice, when I get a text, the light is green.
I used light flow for a bit. but killed at after a day or so. Its still a little buggy in ICS as others have said
i had the proble with the light not turning off too. I had to turn off the notification light for no signal and low battery, and its been perfect since then.
I guess knock on wood, but I have never had a problem with the light staying on with Lightflow paid version.. I feel like if you swipe to dismiss a text message, it will stay on, but if you just open the Messaging app, it will stop blinking. Also, if you use the "x" on the notifications window, it will stop blinking without opening Messaging.
Edit:
With regards to the above post, I have never had the "no signal" light on, but I do have "low battery" and it works fine.
Strange, my problem is actually the opposite to you guys. With light flow my notifications clear just fine, every time. However, it seems like about half the time it refuses to notify me at all. Drains a bit of battery too.

I'm working on improvements for ICS. There's a few things I'm working on for a release in the next few days.
Firstly, at the moment gtalk just doesn't work correctly for identifying notifications due to changes in the gtalk app. I've pretty much rewritten the notification detection for gtalk now and it seems to be working fine in the test builds.
There's a bug I've fixed where for some people the app won't work after a reboot.
As for swiping away notificatons, that won't clear them. It's really frustrating that the accessibility service is so limited in this regard and won't report anything useful back on what's happened. Because of this, I'm adding a new option to clear notifications additionally when you pull down the notification bar as this is something I've managed to hook into. Therefore it'll clear when you either open the app, or pull the notification bar down (but will then be off even if you don't actually view the notification)
I've had a few crash reports (thanks to those who send them in) that I've been trying to fix also, but some of these can take a few iterations to completely stop.
As for battery use, after the next market release adding the above, I'm going to try and add a new feature to just display the most recent notification that's come in. Although it wouldn't be my personal choice, it'll use less battery than the notifications where it's changing in succession around all the notification colors.
---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------
As for the sounds not stopping, have you set the native app to "silent" for it's notifications. Just want to see if it could actually be the main app that's triggering the sound.
---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------
The paid version of the app also supports google voice.
I'm having a really bad issue where once the screen is off, I can't get it to turn back on. The only way to get it on is to reboot the phone via ADB. Then, once I turn it off, it stays off again. If I press the power button SOMETIMES it will flash my lock screen for a 10th of a second, but then turn back on. This started when I installed the app. I was able to test the LED colors, and it did that during the test, too. Hopefully it's an easy fix!

i got this problem too, turn off foreground, uninstall, install, turn off foreground, turn on. You should be good to go then. App is a bit buggy, but better than what google is currently offering us.
No dice
The good news though is that I can get my phone to work again by entering an ADB shell, entering "su", running a "ps" to list the running processes, then running "kill (proc number here)" to end the process, allowing me to turn my screen back on.
EDIT: Ok, so after killing the process using the method listed above, I re-entered the app, turned the "run in foreground" off, then turned it back on, then rebooted. Phone seems to be ok now.

Yea, battery pull works too, but considering how finicky the battery cover of the GN is, plus the case i have, it's easier to adb reboot or kill the process.

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.

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.

Yes, because the problem is not always, and the same app can work, and not work sometimes..
So i got my 4.1.1 update yesterday and ever since then my notification LED stopped working all together.
I uninstalled lightflow and my LED is back again.
Just wondered if it works for everyone else still before i bother to reinstall and set it all back up.

The dev of that app is working on jelly bean issues. He is aware of it.
Ah nice one.
thanks for the reply mate. Ill keep an eye out for updates.

Now I realize how important LightFlow is to me!
Thanks in advance for resolving this problem.
Don't notice it till its gone. Patiently waiting for the update. Bought the paid app I'm sure he's working hard.
Lets keep each other updated on the status of the fix.
after disabling the app and service and re-enabling both, most all my notifications seems to be working fine for the last 24 hours or so. the only one that doesn't work is the sms/mms notification, but i'm using sms popup and i don't recall it ever working with that app enabled previously on ICS.
most everything clears fine as well by either swiping the notification away or closing all notifications with the 'close all' notification bar icon. the two exceptions to this seems to be wordfeud and plume (twitter) which i have to actually open the apps for the notification to clear.
i'm currently using lightflow to notify me of:
gmail
sms/mms
plume (twitter)
friendcaster (facebook)
missed calls
wordfeud
battery 100%
google voice
parcels (package tracking)**
** i haven't confirmed working yet
update : google voice is working. just got a call and a vm. both my missed call and google voice notifications are cycling.
I have noticed that if i restart the phone Lightflow needs to be manually started to get it to work...after you launch the app it does work properly..patiently waiting..wicked app
"Jelly Bean not yet clearing notifications
The accessibility service doesn't seem to be running in Jelly bean causing issues. I now seem to have a fix that works for this, which I expect to release in the next couple of days after a little more testing."
The accessability service is the heart of Lightflow, when it stops all bets are off.
I'm sure they'll release the fix soon and all will be well again in jelly land
looks like theres an update! a review (play store review) said it now works on jellybean.

Updated. Preliminarily it seems to be working fine now. Haven't tested a ton yet though.
which kernels are you guys using? I have noticed that some kernels stop my led altogether. I'd like to give it a shot but I have yet to have it work for me on 4.1.1
Yessssssss! It works! I'm happy. Thanks Dev!!
I'm on stockrom, unrooted.
Not sure if you guys have seen it but the Illumination Bar app by rundgong can be used to keep the softkey touchpad lights always on if the screen is on. So basically the lines under the touchpad symbols will always be lit if your screen is on which makes it much easier to hit the right symbol in the dark.
Can also use it to have those lights act as another notification light for various apps like sms, email, missed calls and more. Check it out.

I've noticed that my led on top doesn't light up while I have the bottom keys enabled as well. Is anyone else experiencing this?

after flashing to ics I'm having issues with it...so I uninstalled it.
the app asks you to enable it in accessibility, after doing so...on browser (dolphin) "talk back" likes to read everything aloud and I don't have it enabled. As soon as I disable Illumination Bar Notification in accessibility the problem goes away. it seems enabling in accessibility doesn't make a difference.
Next issue, recently the led lights don't want to turn off... its seriously drained my battery and on charger it heats up to 106F
Anybody else having issues?

I am not. Looks like you are going to have to reflash.

You don't have to turn on notifications. I only use it too keep buttons lit while screen is on.

Mine flashes, instead of being solid, how do you make it stay solid, instead of flashing?

If you 're talking about the led its supposed to flash for notifications. If you're talking about navigation buttons they're probably flashing because you have notifications turned on. Turn that feature off. I just use the app for keeping them on when screen is on.

So.... Why does this need permission to read my sms/mms content? or my contact data?

Because this app is also used for notifications for SMS/MMS. So in order for it to know when to flash for said incoming SMS/MMS, it has to be able to read them. (Not read their contents...Just read that one has been received.)
Uhhhh.... from my understanding, the receive function is for knowing if there is a mms or sms.
Reading allows the content to be "read".
Right?

The apk needs your permission so that it can gather all of the data inside your phone and send it to Google.
Google owns you, but they need permission first.

Off topic, but Battle.net will give you back your stuff. And if you don't have one, spend the few dollars for the authenticator... Or if you don't wanna spend the money, get the one for your phone from the PlayStore.
(If you replace your Rom, REMOVE the authenticator from your Battle.net account. After you are done all your flashing and mods, then put it back. I learned that the hard way)
