The Tab Pro 8.4 doesn't appear to have any Notification LEDs. Liteflow has a number of other leds mentioned under "Additional LEDs found". However, I can't get any of them to work. It would be really useful if I can get the leds to work for notifications.
I'm running stock Touchwiz 4.4.2 with root. Enabling Root and Samsung mode in Liteflow didn't work.
The tablets don't offer LED notifications, The only LED is the camera flash on the back, and it only works as a camera flash or flashlight.

I think I remember an app that allows you to use capacitive buttons LED as notification. I'll post if I remember

It didn't work. Here is the following LEDs that are available when "Samsung Root Mode" is enabled. I have Root. I'm now running CM11 Mondrianwifi LTE unnofficial but it hasn't made a difference in getting them to work. I really want to get them working because I currently don't have any notification lights and using the camera flash as a notification light is insane and blinding. Values 1, 128 and 255 do nothing.
1. led:flash_0
2. led:flash_1
3. led:flash_torch
4. wled:backlight
5. lcd-backlight
6. mmc0::
7. mmc1::
8. sec_touchkey
There is an option in accessibility for flash notification
Edit- nevermind, i see thats not what you want

Just thought I would share that this app works great with the nexus 4. It actually is running flawless for me right now go check it out in play store. You can control your led light on the front of the device with just about any notification and color
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite
Yeah I love light flow I use it on my galaxy nexus
Luckily one of the android blog sites helped test the app so I managed to get a release out before the phone came out. I'd hoped to get one myself, but 10 cart errors later and they'd all gone!
Glad it seems to be working ok. I'm working on improving the calendar reminder notification as they seem to go a little crazy at the moment due to change in the way notifications are displayed now (ie snooze a notification and it won't totally disappear from your notification bar - you won't get an icon, but it's still there when you pull down the bar). So this is causing some extra notifications while on snooze, but I'm hoping to get a fix out for it soon. At least I can recreate it on my galaxy nexus on 4.2.
I was getting my led glowing randomly since installing so I uninstalled.. Was I doing something wrong?
Also how badly does lightflow affect the battery?
Thanks

I have the full version.
I've noticed some colours aren't working properly. eg. Indigo will show the some colour LED as red, Navy and Blue look the same too.
Would really appreciate if someone could make a list of all the true colours that actually work?

A couple of things with this. Swiping away notifications won't stop the led at the moment: vote for this android feature request here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23106
Also try adding the light flow debugger widget to a homescreen as that will tell you which notifications it thinks are on.
As for battery drain, I think it varies for different people depending on what settings they use. I try to set the default app settings to be fairly sensible on battery drain.

I'm planning in a future release to have a section where you can remap the preset colors to new RGB values as it's one of those things that varies a little from phone to phone. The colors were originally based on what the nexus one could manage (it was probably the best phone for color representation) and then tweaked a little for the galaxy nexus.
As I've not seen a nexus 4 (stupid google play checkout errors) yet I've not been able to experiment.
I installed the lite app, dunno why, my led was active all the time (white colour), even without notifications or plane mode. I uninstalled the app, and now my led doesnt work (Nexus 4)
I'd really like to jump on board with this app, but after a report of "My LED doesn't work anymore" I'm scared. I think I'll wait for the dev to get his own n4 to work out n4 specific kinks/quirks.

Regarding to this, I have to say that the custom color mode works very straight for me, the color that I chose is the colour what I see (taking into account the obvious deviations from IPS and RGB led, of course).
Under Settings there's something that says "Additional LEDs Found" and there's 4 LEDs there:
lcd-backlight control
lm3530 control
pm8xxx-led control
spotlight control
Any idea what these are for?
Thanks

Also curious about this.
Also, it does seem to work well so far, but testing the LED in-app does not work. Any idea why this is?
Anyone having problems with Gmail? If I set Light Flow to use priority inbox I don't get notification lights. If I uncheck use priority inbox then it works.

the testing does work. when you get the popup about waiting 5 seconds, immediately click the wake/power button and you should see the led trigger the tests.
Developer said Priority Inbox isn't working right under 4.2. Will be fixed once a fix is found. Regular inbox is fine.

I have a weird bug with LightFlow. When it is enabled i will randomly get Accessibility voice when inside chrome. Like, she will say "NEW TAB" or she will call out the page title of every thing. Then if I disable light Flow, the bug is gone.
Would like to use it but if with this here....i can't. Unless i got something set up wrong, but i check all accessibility settings and they are off except for light flow

Check other Lightflow threads. I remember reading about on the S3 thread or GN thread. I've never had it happen, but remember some other people talking about it.
Tested it a couple of day and is not working properly, light notifications are very slow to get dismissed and sometimes the led blink without a reason

Using LEDBlinker Pro personally. Works spot on.

What? No. Outside of only inbox and not priority inbox it's working great. Same as on my S3. It sounds like you didn't properly setup your dismiss settings for how you want it. There are a lot of options.

Hey,
is there an option to change pulse rate of the LED without using light flow?
Lightflow disables air view and swyping with Samsung keyboard, and that's pretty annoying...
I'd like to faster pulsation AND Air View AND swyping....
Anyone an idea?
Use this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager
In "normal mode" at least there is no problem with Air View or Swyping.

Tried, but it seems, with RED-Pill Kernel, it doesn't work
EDIT: Disabled LED Notification in Whatsapp => seems to work
But a change directly in Android would be nice anyway
It's a pity with stock kernel it's almost perfect.

Should Use Light Flow. I have been using it since I got the phone and there is only one problem that it has it does not disable any of the things you said but the one thing it does do is make your phone TalkBack though yuo have it checked to Disable TalkBack. It does not talk all the time only when you do somthing like create a folder, Veiwing all 7 screens and also When you use the default email program and hover over the emails. This problem is currently being worked on by light flow and google. I personally dont look at all 7 screens at one time, Hover over my emails or make Folders(TW).
Please if I have helped you at all hit the Thanks button for me .
These will turn off the capacitive buttons.
Tested on:
AOKP MR2
CM 11
You will still have to turn the back lights off manually.

One of these 3:

CyanogenMod 11
None of them seem to have any menu options relating to turning off the backlight.

They do work to turn off the keylights. However, it also causes the screen brightness to be stuck at maximum. If I use the volume buttons, the system brightness changes (the bar goes up and down) but the screen itself doesn't change its brightness. It also disables the notification light. Maybe you only need to change some values of the file instead of deleting it?

No.
but you can use app like "NoLed" from play, featuring a little notification icon on the screen, don't worry, it won't drain the battery, that's the advantage of amoled screen.
but the app still a little buggy.
I am also missing the notification LED. But probably could utilize the touch buttons. Any app to recommend?
Mine also doesn't has these notification features.Feel bad why samsung did this.Also my smart screen doesn't work.

Seems like that needs to be supported by a custom kernel. So we got to be patient it seems...I never gonna understand why Samsung isn't using the ****ing background light of the buttons for notifications (on devices w/o a dedicated LED)...I used that solution flawless on my aging S1 for 2 1/2 years now.
Is the issue kernel support, or is there truly no LED for notifications? There's two things to the right of the speaker, but maybe those are proximity sensors or something....
Hi there.
I'm trying to customize the LED notifications on my Huawei P8 lite.
I've installed "Light Manager" but it does not seem to affect the colors of the LED notifications.
I tried to set Normal, Alternating and Screen mode as the Operating mode with no effect.
I also gave the access to Light Manager in the Notification Manager in the Settings.
Do you know it the app is buggy on this model? Do I need root privileges? Is "Light flow" known to work instead?
Thanks a lot,
Howard
Could you ask to the developer here on xda?

It is working for me, but i cannot choose the colors by hex value, I can only use the preset ones.
