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!

Hi, I have noticed that sometimes when I have a notification, the led doesn´t blink at all, and sometimes it does. I have official IMM76I, and I have noticed it mainly with Whatsapp, but it can be because is the only program I use with the phone silenced in my work.
Have you noticed that?

Where are we talking of color option?
I have noticed it even with GTalk and many other apps. Yesterday, I was playing when a notification sounded. Without turning on the screen, I kept watching the phone but the LED never blinked. I turned on the screen and I had a GTalk message.
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.

You mean there is not the notification icon on the upper bar?
My problem is different, I have the notification icon, but the led doesn´t blink
Notices this as well with various apps. Native as well as 3rd party. Doesn't bother me that much just makes the OS less 'perfect'.

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
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..
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.

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?

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?
Guregnack said:

Click to expand...

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)

To be more specific, when i go out of my phone range and then come back thats when it happens. Other functions like message notifications work as predicted. The same problem goes for the unlock via band function. To.fix this i have to manually open and close bluetooth which is very annoying.
I did not notice this, but I do not really go out of the phone range Sounds like a bug, so hopefully gets fixed in next update. Do not forget to submit a bug report from Mi Fit app.

No issues here. The colored bars show up when the screen is off and a notification comes in. I do have always on display, well, always on....not sure if that matters or not.
Mine doesn't seem to work either on the NA phone. And I can't even tell, are they supposed to light up just once or do they act more like the old notification LEDs?

yeah I tried that but to no avail, is it lighting up with any app or only certain ones? for example, I use fairemail for email and threema/signal for messaging, and it does not light up for any. moreover, it doesn't light up for anything at all, very frustrating.
I've noticed it for notifications from the stock messaging app and Gmail, but haven't seen anything else trigger it yet.
It's not that bright and only does it once so if you blink you will miss it!
I tested it with a calendar notification, not sure what else it works on. Don't remember seeing it for WhatsApp
Eta: it does work on most things, just miss it unless you are looking for it.

Im not entirely sure how well this works, but I have messed around with this app previous. I used an app on the playstore called AOA by newGen Mobile, its not quite an ambient display but it is an Always on Display app that enables you to customize your horizon lights as you see fit(color, duration, pattern and such). There is a free version of it if you want to at least try it out.
Mine works fine, but i'm on Color OS c36.
Too bad that is only 3 colors : blue, red, gold.
