Light Flow and Go SMS

Anyone get Light Flow and Go SMS working together? I can't get the notification LED to work whether it's using GO SMS's built in "blinking LED" function or using Light Flow.
When attempting to use light flow, I turn off the "blinking LED" option in Go SMS. I've also tried using the alternate monitoring options.
Still not working.
EDIT: Well, I ended up uninstalling Light Flow. Notification light works again. I just can't customize the LED color. Guess I'll have to wait until Light Flow gets updated to work with the S III.
Also, even though Go SMS "blink LED" works, the color settings are messed up. The color you pick doesn't correlate to what shows up. Must be an app issue as well. But hey, at least it works.

Did you go into accessibility and enable light flow there?

Does the LED actually blink for you albeit with effed up colours? Cause it doesn't blink for me, just stays one solid messed up colour.

It stays solid just like you said.

Then it goes the exact opposite of mine. Mine blinks for text notifications, and stays solid for others.

Hes working on the app to address issues with lightflow an the gs3

Both my and my dad's sgh-i747 displays the wrong led colour.
Blue comes out as red, green as magenta, etc.
I'm starting to think its a problem with all north American versions of the.phone? My friends with the i9300 don't have this problem!

Yeah the hex codes are all messed up in the NA version, so regardless of what program you are setting the colors with they're almost opposite. Yellow = White from my experience if anyone wants white haha

I'm so glad this got brought up, but it's a shame nobody's found a fix yet. It's such a subtle, yet mindblowingly irritating thing. Mine is sold red, no matter what I change in both the system LED settings, or the GoSMS settings. I haven't bothered with LightFlo, since everyone reported the mis-representation of color changes in the settings.

If your on a twiz rom the colors are gonna be all messed up. For example if you use light flow to change the color of the led you'll notice that the color you set it to be is not the color it is. This is an os problem. If you flash a stock android based rom like cm9 cm10 or aokp they will be fixed.

Now this is some handy info. Does this apply to someone having CM9 or 10 AND GoSMS as well?

Whatsapp and LED light

Hi
Does anybody know how to get the LED notification light to work through whatsapp? (I mean without using a 3rd party applicaiton). There is an option in whatsapp to have the LED blink, but I cant manage to get it to work. Any ideas?
Using stock 4.1.1 GSM GNex

What color did you select? Mine is set to green and works fine.

I selected green as well. Also tried a few other colours but still no luck.
Do do you have popup notifications enabled in whatsapp by any chance?

No. Disabled.
Is Whatsapp the only app that's having trouble controlling the LED of your gnex?

@OP Are you sure the 'Pulse Notification' setting is checked to work?
(Settings > Display > Pulse Notification)
Can't think of anything else, my whatsapp led blinks green on notification just fine.

Yeah, pulse notification in the phones settings menu is enabled. I'm using light flow now to control my led which works fine. For some reason I just could not get whatsapp to blink the LED itself. So I went the 3rd party route.
Thanks for the help

hello, i'm using lightfow on AOKP black bean and generally it's work good

i noticed 've the same problem, no led notification from whatsapp...
i am using light flow lite for notifications (no whatsapp support), maybe it is causing this problem?

you can try reinstalling whatsapp or emailing them to report an issue
EDIT: Not sure if this matters but I have the Whatsapp version from the market (version 2.8.4771) but on their own website the version number available for android is Version 2.8.4923
http://www.whatsapp.com/android/
Not sure what's that all about but you could try both and see if one works.

Ah sorry, I misunderstood you. Yes thats something that I also thought of - whatsapp not having access to the LED because Lightflow has 'taken control' of the LED. However to test this theory, I uninstalled Light Flow, but still could not manage to get whatsapp to blink the LED by itself.

Why don't you use the LED Notification build in AOPK? Settings -> Rom Control -> LED Control

i did too...also reinstalled whatsapps without any luck

My Whatsapp doesn't blink the led either. It did a while ago I know for sure. It has just stopped functioning and I can't get it to work again. Not that important to me though.

Notification LED
Is it possible to use Light Flow Lite and have stock LED notifications work too?
ie. so whatsapp notification LED works too because both Light Flow and default LED settings are on

LED Control (Charging, Notifications) with Light Flow and Xposed Modules [Root]

Hi there,
after quite a lot of time of trying and testing I want to share my experience with you.
I use a Z1 Compact with rooted stock firmware 14.2.A.1.114 (Android 4.3) and I wanted to control the notification LED in the way that CyanogenMod allows it:
Disable charging notification
Enable custom colors for different Apps
Switch off the LED completely at night
My solution is the combination of two Xposed Modules with the App Light Flow.
First, install the Xposed Framework. To get it to work on your Xperia smartphone, you can use the Xperia version which works very well.
To switch off charging notifications, download and activate the module Disable Charging Led.
Notification colours can be modified by the module Xposed LED Control.
Xposed LED Control unfortunately does not allow silent hours and is limited to five modified notifications in the free version.
This is where the App Light Flow comes in. It comes with many personalization options like silent hours. I needed to install Xposed LED Control because without it, I was not able to control the LED with Light Flow.
Switch on the root mode in Light Flow (general settings) and configure the notifications and sleep settings as desired.
If you are unsure if all the instructions described above will work on your phone, you can try the free version Light Flow Lite.
Light Flow did not work for me without Xposed LED Control. I think this is not so obvious and so I hope this will help anyone with the same problem, maybe even with other Xperia phones.
Regards

Perhaps you mean "charging" instead of "loading" ...

I did the same thing. Downloaded Xposed LED control and Light Flow, but I have the following issue. When I receive a text message for example, the LED flashes in the stock colour (a sort of pink). Then I turn on the display without unlocking and the LED changes into the colour I customized. When I turn it off it stays that colour. This kind of defies the process of changing the colour, as I need to turn in the screen anyway.
Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong?

Have you switched off the notification light in the text message app? Or maybe you want to configure the color in Xposed LED Control? I was unfortunately not able to reproduce this issue.

Yes, I can confirm that too. I switched on Stamina mode a few days ago for testing purpose and I got problems with Light Flow, too. So, if you really need to use Stamina, you are limited to the functionality of Xposed LED Control.

Same problems on my Z1c.
Stamina is on and then the custom-color flashes once and then the default violett light.
Lightflow, light manager or xposed led control, all the same problem

I think we'll have to wait until Sony fixes LED notifications in Stamina mode. Other models have this problem as well. I switched off Stamina completely as Greenify is sufficient for me to freeze battery draining apps in standby.

For me LightFlow work without the help of the module only need to disable your Stamina completely impossible job because I am quite removed Stamina.

it is work good :fingers-crossed:

is there any app to change blinking time when stamina is on ? i don;t want to chagne color only what i need is faster led blinking ...

I currently use GravityBox [KK] to disable the charging LED.
For those who don't use Stamina because the LED does not work: There is the Xposed Module Xperia Stamina LED that works like a charm.

LED Notification light in top speaker grill?

Why is my LED Notification light in the top speaker grill?
Is this normal?

It's normal because that's where htc put it.

That's the design.
And it only shows two colors.
Amber while charging and green for all notifications
HTC UltimEight ?

It's the one thing I miss from my Nexus 5, loved having the RGB LED and using LightFlow to customise it. Hoping HTC sort this out in future...

Well technically you can use the amber LED for other notifications in apps that support custom LED colours. Just select the "red" option. Works for me on Whatsapp

Yup, it's rooted. But root access shouldn't affect such a thing, I didn't receive any root access requests when setting LED colour. What app did you try it on?

Has anybody found a way to override the 5 min limitation without using a 3rd party app? I can override it with an app called recurrent notifications manager and it works well, but I'd rather not use an app to do something that should happen anyway. Take note HTC...

I haven't seen a fix yet, they also need to take note to make the notification light flash while charging. Pretty stupid of htc if you ask me.

notification led not working any more

guys, i didnt get the exact moment when it stopped working and can only speculate about what caused it, but my notification led isnt working any more. nothing triggers it. not whatsapp, not gmail...
is there any way to test it or tune it without relying on third party apps?
im on stock taimen with flash kernel, systemless xposed and gravity box.
thanks!

I dont think it ever has??? Isn't that why we have always on display and dont need notification light?

It definitely works. I use the app Light Flow - LED Control to customize my LED. Maybe try that app with charging light and see if it turns on when charging. Make sure you have blink light turned on in apps and notifications --> notifications --> Blink light.
