[Q] How to get the "Home" button LED to turn on (notify) with Go SMS Pro & Gmail?!?

[Q] How to get the "Home" button LED to turn on (notify) with Go SMS Pro & Gmail?!?
Just got this yesterday & perhaps it's due to still being up at 5:30am but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get the LED around the Home button to notify me of a missed text message thru Go SMS Pro & also the LED notification for email (Gmail) has stopped. And yes, the boxes for both messaging & email are check marked in the Settings menu (Home button LED-->Missed Events). Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: I'm an idiot!!...I didn't have the "Downloaded apps" box check marked in the LED light settings menu. So everything (Go SMS Pro, Gmail & Google Voice) has an LED indicator now. Go SMS Pro is great with LED's since you can customize whatever color you want to use in it's advanced settings menu.

i use light flow which allows me to add a LED notification for any app

Have you tried it with Go SMS Pro on an Optimus G Pro? I just downloaded it & no matter what options I chose, it wouldn't work with Go SMS Pro. I made sure I turned on the Lightflow option in the Accessibility settings menu & the two alternate options yet nothing. I tapped on the test option & the LED light didn't turn on to verify it was working. It didn't work with Gmail either.

I had two bum LEDs (yellow and green) and had to swap out my phone with AT&T. When you power on the device do you see all of the different colors? That's how I knew I had an issue with the device itself and not just a setting.

I saw yellow, green blue, purple & red. Am I missing any other colors? FWIW, it blinks green when I have a missed call or text (with the stock texting app). Only way I can get the LED light to blink & use the Go SMS Pro app is to turn on the notification option in the stock texting app but disable the sound in that app. It's a hassle to go into the notification pull-down menu just to clear it. It use to blink blue for emails but not sure why it's not doing that anymore. My old Note 2 would blink regardless which apps I used for texting & emails, sigh...

Do you have the Downloaded Apps box checked in the Home LED menu? That should go off for any downloaded apps with notifications. (I think my Snapchat notifications blink red)

In smsgo there is a setting under notifications to let you use the led features and change the colors and such SMS go has so many options you have to go to the advanced. Section to get them all.

1- make sure the LED notifications are turned ON for messaging
2- make sure notifications for the default SMS app are turned OFF in the app
3- make sure notifications are enabled him under settings in GoSMS Pro
4- make sure "blink LED" selected in notification settings in GoSMS Pro

Thanks for the help guys! Ya, I already did all that prior to posting this thread. I figured out the prob thanks to Mrfeuss. Turns out it I didn't check mark the "Downloaded apps" option in the LED light settings menu. Still need to see if the (white from what I remember) Gmail LED notification is working now that I check marked that option. Will post back here once I get another email.

Received the Gmail notification for an email so in the end it's my fault the LED's didn't work, LOL! Thanks again for all the help!

Notification LED

I cannot get the Notification LED to work. I mean isn't it supposed to blink when I get new emails? I tested it with the lightflow app and it works in that test, but other than that I don't know how to see it blinking? Could it be broken or I'm doing something wrong?

You may try to config the Email app or gmail app, if the led work with low battery ( blinking red) then it should not be hardware problem it just that mis config in some app s

I'm having the same issue.
I can confirm that the LED is functional, through third party apps that turn it on manually, but I have yet to receive a real notification flash. Fortunately, that looks to be more of a software issue which should be easily resolved.

Same issue on my end.

I finally managed to have it working! In Lightflow app, in notifications for example I chose gmail then for inbox under LIGHT tabI changed notification LED color to white and at the bottom of the same page, change the state of pm8xxx-led LED to: "Flash - Hardware controlled".
Now when I get new emails, the LED flashes! But its weird that by default this doesn't work.

Is it a single color or is it multi-colored? Only white is working for me.

I've never had any device with a notification LED before. Would it be possible, for example, to have the LED light up when charging is complete? That's about the only thing I'd want to use it for.

Yes, there are third party apps that let you customize this.

so selecting a differed led color with lightflow is pointless, huh.

So it's not an RGB led like the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 ones?

No apps have been able to access other colors. This has led (hah) to speculation that it is not a RGB LED and only supports white. This is what my leds classes on my Nexus 4 (which has an RGB LED) look like:
And this is what the Nexus 7 looks like:
As you can see it's missing all three primary (for light) colors. Ignore the spotlight one, I believe that is the flash next to the camera. If we are to trust that the software is reporting accurate hardware then unfortunately it is only a white LED and will not be able to be adjusted.
EDIT: Looking at iFixIt's teardown pictures we can clearly see that it's a single color LED.

I'm having the same problem, assuming it will be fixed with a software update.

By making tweaks in Lightflow, I was able to get it to function when I receive emails.
However, it is very dim. Nothing like my SGS3, which is bright enough to be noticeable and actually alert me. I can barely tell that it's flashing on the N7, so I don't see much usefullness there. Not to mention a case will make it a completely moot point.

Is the LED supposed to light up while the tablet is turned off and charging?

How can I tweaks in lightflow to make it work

Just to confirm LED is only white (two connections). Picture from iFixit.

I was able to get the notification light to work for an email only when the screen is turned off. if I'm using the tablet & get a notification, it won't light up, but if the screen is off & I get one, it starts blinking.

my led light only flashes when the notification initially comes in, and doesn't flash at all afterwards, not sure whats up with it, would have assumed that it would blink again, but when I tested it earlier, it glowed once, then nothing for the next 2 minutes that I stared at it.

I thought my LED was 'busted'. Seems to work occasionally with gmail but not with other applications. It's also an extremely slow pulse. I miss it usually.

Manage your LED notification light fast and easily. No more trying to guess which app or which person demands your attention with random colors.
Features:
Select color by app or by text. Your favorite contacts can have their own color no matter which app they use to contact you.
Handle missed called.
Fine tune blinking speed for each notification.
Lightweight, almost no memory and battery footprint.
This app makes use of Android's 4.3 Notification Listener and thus it must be enabled under Device Settings > Security > Notification Access. It cannot access the internet so your personal data is absolutely safe.
Thanks for giving it a look!

That's strange, you turn off the screen and it does nothing?
Maybe you have something else messing with the LED? (For example cyanogenmod has built-in led control).

Nope... Stock 4.3 ROM, Franco Kernel r183, had Light Manager installed before your app, but I uninstalled it and rebooted just to make sure nothing interfered. Any more ideas? Pulse notification light under Settings is ticked, of course. And yes, I'm turning off the screen hehehe

It's possible to make an function to switch between differents colors for the same notification?

It requires Android 4.3! It should be compatible after samsung releases an update or you install something yourself.

On another note, the app is still unreliable on stock ROMs, I made some progress towards fixing this but I have some exams at the moment and I don't have much time to work on this. I hope it works fine for the rest of you in the meanwhile.

Doesn't work on 4.3 - all stock, without root etc.
I can set it up, but when notification appears nothing happens

It's a very good application ! I prefer this app to LightFlow (much complicated)

im a heavy user of lightflow... but it uses toomuch battery and ram in my opinion.
im gonna give a shot to ur app. thanks for making it free
EDIT:
the only notification i get working is missed call... messaging for example = no led on at all all and yes i turned on notification access
Running stock unrooted.
I will wait for future update.
Hope everything goes well with ur exams

Please post question/queries in Q&A/Troubleshoot area
That being said, there is an app, Light Flow - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow
It lets you control all lights of your phone and you can select applications that will trigger that light for notifications.
Check this thread for a guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2413620
Works for stock as well as CM

Thank you for your quick respond, nut i trid the Light Flow it does not work, as it is working or controlling the LED notification that already being a part of the phone as the S3, and it can not control the capacitive buttons, but i will try the second suggestion and return to u with the result

I just tried installing and setting up the app myself, and it's working great with the capacitive buttons. They are turning on with each notification with my screen off.
I'm attaching my settings backup with the current version 3.11.2 Pro
1. Install the app
2. Unzip the attached file. Place the "2013-10-10" file in "InternalSd/lightflow/"
3. Run the app. Go to Tools, Restore Settings. It will ask for root permission.
You can look over what I did. Please note that the buttons are referred to touchkey-led. All you have to do is Select an app you want giving you notifications, turn on the notification enable check box and the touchkey-led option (Step 4 and 5 below)
Side note : For apps like Hangout and Facebook Messenger, Light flow needs admin privileges and that has to be done manually on each phone
1. Go to notifications
2. Select an app like Facebook Messenger
3. Select Accessibility service required

With LighFlow, the buttons light up when there is a notification and stay on till you turn on the screen/check the notification (they don't blink in LightFlow). You can select if you want screen to turn on with the notification but by default it is turned off in the app.
I haven't tried using ButtonLED app yet so can't comment about what it does.

Quick question before installing...Would the customization dissappear afeter uninstalling this app?? some apps don't turn back to the pre-custom settings

Lightflow

Seen reports of people saying Lightflow messes with Ambient Display. Can anyone confirm this?

This should be in Q&A section. Anyway, I have both Ambient Display and Light Flow on. Light Flow does not mess with AD, and works quite well with it. Light flow colors work. I have the Pro version of Light Flow.

Sorry, the question is about an app so I thought goes here? Anyway. How does your AB work? Does it pulse randomly (like Moto X) or only when lifted or notification?

I used light flow pro and it forced screen wakes for a few minutes without a notification being present then it calms down. I uninstalled it and ambient display stays off unless there is a notification

Got it. Without Lightflow, there are only 3-4 pulses. With, it never ends.

Ah, I noticed that too but hadn't put that down to Light Flow.
I have a GWR, so disabled Ambient Display anyway.
Has anyone got the Sleep function to work?
No matter what Light Flow settings I use - at night, the LED continues to light up my room, so I have to leave the phone face-down at the moment...
I've been emailing the developer about it - but he's waiting for his 5X to turn up (as he's also ordered a 6P, he has to wait for that to turn up in the same delivery...)

I have enabled notification light through Settings and am able to generate a white light flash (repeating) when gmail receives. Has anyone noted fingerprint security have any negative impacts on notifications like this (more curiosity than anything)?
Admittedly its been some time since I have had to use lightflow pro; good app, just been awhile so I may be rusty on settings I am betting.

Lightflow is one of my standard apps. Unfortunately, it was draining my battery on the 5x regardless of the settings I had set. Looking forward to an update after the dev can optimize for MM/5X/6P.

Anyone else having an issue with lightflow and mms alerts needing to be cleared manually in the app?

To anyone who has Lightflow pro running well: would you mind posting your settings?
I've tried every combination I can think of: root mode on/off, run every command as root on/off, etc. The best the app can manage is a brief pulse on, then off, then a quick on/off before the LED stays off. Have tried direct mode, too. Tried the Legacy version, but it doesn't cover a lot of apps.
I can't seem to get any consistent results otherwise.

[ROM][6.0_r26][5X]★ Pure Nexus Project ★ Layers | Fi | WFC | VoLTE Fix ★[11/21/15]
It includes Notification Light control and works perfectly.. And it's loads quicker than stock. Why buy a Nexus if you ain't gonna custom ROM it ?

Yes! I just got the 5x and am settling down with stock Android for a while. Rooted and Xposed. It will be maybe 2-3 days before I start installing custom ROMs! Thanks for the headsup on this particular ROM!

Ah, I noticed that too but hadn't put that down to Light Flow.
I have a GWR, so disabled Ambient Display anyway.
Has anyone got the Sleep function to work?
No matter what Light Flow settings I use - at night, the LED continues to light up my room, so I have to leave the phone face-down at the moment...
I've been emailing the developer about it - but he's waiting for his 5X to turn up (as he's also ordered a 6P, he has to wait for that to turn up in the same delivery...)

I have only had it for one night but it seemed to work fine for me. I changed the sleep method to "time" (it defaults to NFC or something) and set the "start time" to 10:30pm and the "end time" to 6:00AM. I also have ambient display disabled. I am not sure what GWR is though. Also make sure in each app notification setting you do not have "exclude from sleep mode" checked.

I'm using paid version of LF. For now I'm not rooted.
I noticed behaviour you've already talked about.
1. If I'm using ambient screen I always have notifiction icon "Number of notifications". Can I hide that?
I know I can hide it if I disable app notification, but in that case Light flow don't work anymore ...
2. Is there any solution with messing ambient screen and LW led. After recieved notification ambient lights on few times and completely mess up LF ...
Is Legacy version solving those problems?
Thank you.
edit: I solved problem with legacy.

I have en issue with lighflow legacy that when I set my gmail notification to switch screen on, it won't play the notification sound correctly, the screen will light and notification sound is not completed when email is received, it is like once the screen switch on, the notification sound won't complete till the end. Anyone noticed that? disabling switch screen on, will make the notification sound fine.

I have this problem with a N5x and LightFlow.
It doesnt matter if I do use Lightflow normal or legacy, because on legacy I kept seeing a Lightflow notification and the screen turns on with ambient display continuously due to this :S
