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

I've been missing Lightflow since I went from an Atrix to GSII. Can't wait to get it back.

I can't get the test mode to do anything on this. I press test notification but nothing happens. Did I miss another setting?

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!

[Q] Light Flow with JB

Having difficulty getting Light Flow to work on my Nexus (GSM) with JB installed. The sound is a phantom sound from before the JB install (probably from my backup).
I have disabled sound notifications for SMSes in stock Messaging app, in Handcent (which I use), and only have LF enabled sound notifications in SMS/MMS, and changed both of them to the same thing, which is something different than the noise I'm hearing.
Any ideas?

Also having difficulty with Light Flow after updating to stock Jelly Bean. It takes quite a while after booting the phone for Light Flow to appear in the status bar and none of the light notifications seem to work properly.
Is it a Jelly Bean issue and should I just wait for the app to get updated?

I didn't have sound problems with it, but I couldn't ever get the light to go away.. probably just needs to update cause it did the same thing on all the roms I've tried

Same here. I haven't been able to get Light Flow to work either, but I'm also noticing that my notification LED doesn't seem to be working AT ALL now. I'm thinking about reflashing JB to see if that fixes it, but I've tried everything short of that to see if it works and it hasn't lit at all. Not sure what's going on.

If you go check the play store it says that the issues with jelly bean are known and they are working on it.

Mine has been working great with Jelly Bean. In Accessibility make sure Light Flow is turned on. Also, here is my saved lightflow backup file if you want to try it on yours to see if it works.
I'm using Jelly Belly 3.3, did a clean install with the JB bootloader, and restored light flow and data with tibackup.
Good luck! :good:

not to be noob, but what is lightflow?

lets you change the LED colors to anything really.

Light Flow issue fixed on 4.1.1

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.

Developer is aware of the issue already. He's working on a fix.

It's in the known issues for jelly bean. Something to do with the accessibility.

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%

The missed call notification does not go away even after entering the app, that is the dialer.

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.

BLN half working

I installed the kernel that supports BLN then I installed lite Rom version 5. Now I downloaded the BLN from the market and it said my Rom supports it. Unfortunately when I get an email the button lights don't go on when the phone is sleep. Same with Facebook notifications but it did work with Google talk. Someone sent me a message and it lit up quite nicely and stayed on till I woke up the phone. Anyone else experiencing this? I looked in Facebook and made sure on the app that I have light notification enabled but that did not help. I could not see any options from the email. I use the built in email from android not the Google one, the white one with the blue @ sign is the one I use. Am I not enabling something? Please help I would love this to work properly.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app

I second this. BLN works, but not consistently. I can't quite put my finger on why the performance varies. It works during sleep, but not always. It works while it's awake, but the screen is off, but also not always.
The only thing I may have found is that BLN works less often when I have the app triggering the notification open/active. So, when I'm in a chat and I put down my phone after a message, the screen will go off after 15 seconds. The other party may have replied within 20 seconds, but it does not always trigger BLN.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app

I wish it would just trigger on everything in the notification section. Unfortunately kind of useless if it is only sometimes getting triggered. What good is a notification light that does not work? Sorry, I know how hard some people have worked hard on this and I am not trying to upset anyone, just stating that it is not there yet to be reliable and fully functional.

I had the same issue previously on older versions of the lite kernel. I ended up flashing the kernel twice in a row and it seemed to fix the issue. I haven't seen issues since. Maybe upgrade to the most current lite kernel?
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda premium

I couldn't get BLN Control to work with Handcent SMS so I downloaded Light Flow Lite, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite.
So far it has worked great and I haven't seen any of these intermittent issues. Maybe it will help one of you guys.

Notifications not working

For some reason the notification light and sound has stopped working. Volume is up, sounds work in games, music player, etc. But when I get a text... No sound, no led light. Tried wiping cache, still nothing. Any ideas?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

What ROM are you running and android version? What about Kernel?
Can you remember if this has started happening after you installed a specific app?
Did you check the notification sound in the settings? Try putting it to zero then increase it again. Mute it then unmute it again.
Do you use Lightflow for light notification? If yes then ensure that it got root permissions.
Sorry for these so many questions, but it would really help to know about them so members here know how to help you further

I'm running Eclipse 2.1 with lean kernel. Haven't added any apps in the time this started. Tinkered around a bunch and got the sound to work, but still no led.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Good to know that sound is back
Which app are you using for the Light notification? Light Flow Lite? I have lost some of the led notifications recently but updating my Light Flow Lite app solved the problem
