The LP5523-controlled segmented LEDs on the rear of the Nextbit Robin are one of the device's most unique features. Yet they see very little use, being used only for effects relating to the now-defunct "Smart Storage" in the stock ROM and simply displaying a pattern during boot in custom ROMs. Nextlit rectifies this by employing these lights as a useful notification indicator.
DOWNLOAD
Nextlit allows you to preview the five patterns programmed into the LP5523 by Nextbit plus another five unique to the app, and select one to activate when a notification is received. You can configure patterns for individual apps, letting you identify which app requires your attention without needing to wake your phone. Nextlit exploits the potential of the segmented LEDs to encode greater meaning than can be expressed with the standard notification light and looks cool while doing it.
If you want to use the app for any more than simply previewing the available patterns you'll need to give its service notification access. The application does not read nor care about the contents of notifications; the only thing it does is count them. You can see the relevant routines here.
The app needs root access in order to access /sys but will work on any ROM. Nextlit has been featured on XDA and is free software, released under the Mozilla General Public License version 2.0.
To do
user-definable patterns
necessitates an assembler for the LP5523's instruction set
music visualisation
BCD clock
(optionally) disable lights while charging

The preview works but I can not enable it for notifications. The app force closes if I try. How do I give the app the correct permissions? There is no permission in the app settings, which I can assign.

Oh dear :s The app is meant to take you to the notification access settings when you first enable the service with the switch, does it crash before that? You can try giving it access by navigating to notification access yourself (For Nougat, Settings > Apps > cogwheel > Special access > Notification access). What ROM and Android version are you on?

I am using a personal build of AOSiP, Android 7.1.2
The app quits before the query. But thanks for the hint. I did not know this option yet. I already had logfile ready. But it works now. At least the message "Service started" came.
Thank you for your quick help.
Here is a logfile from matlog. This is my first logfile ever created. If you need something special, let me know. I would like to help provide useful information.
Now I have another problem. I hope I do not flood the thread. The LEDs do not stop flashing. Even if I turn off the service, the LEDs come back on with the screen off and keep dancing.
But I'm still very excited. Many thanks for your effort.
Thanks for the logcat. I actually realised what the error is just after my last post (stupid mistake, it'll happen whenever someone has no apps set up for notification access), and that is fixed. I will try to reproduce the service failing to stop, but it's working fine for me. I'll upload an updated apk, hopefully with fixes for both, later today. Don't worry about spamming the thread or anything, I can only fix things if people report them
OMG thanks for the effort, really really appreciate it. I hope other ROM devs see what you did and implement this in their ROM's. Props to you for working on the application, great work keep it up please.
New version (1.0.1) is up, with fixes for both issues. I've updated the download link in the OP. Because Android caches services, you should uninstall 1.0 before installing 1.0.1 for the fix to take effect.

Working on stock 7.1.1.
How much is the battery drain?
That's great news! I'll update the OP.
Regarding battery drain, when I wrote that I was thinking about the service that listens for notifications requiring loads of wakelocks because I misunderstood the way that the NotificationListenerService works. Unlike a normal service, it actually runs constantly in the background and is managed by the Android system rather than the app itself (this was also the reason for the "service not stopping" bug that was fixed in 1.0.1). So I'll remove the lines about "minimising battery drain" in the OP, unless people report that the app is actually having an effect on their SoT. For the lights themselves, according to max_current, each LED can draw a maximum of 3.2 mA , so assuming negligible power consumption of the LP5523 itself, that's just 12.8 mAh, or just 0.5% of the Robin's total battery capacity per hour (assuming they're at 3.7 V) for all four at full brightness.
One thing that will actually reduce power consumption, though, is adding options to show only when the screen is off (you can't see the lights if you're using the phone after all!), and to only show patterns for notifications that would normally activate the "standard" notification light (so music players don't set it off, for example).
In other news, I have setting custom patterns fully working, but need some more time to document the process fully, and to come up with some nice ones to show off what the chip is capable of. The LP5523 can hold up to 96(!) instructions, but the kernel driver only supports up to 16, which is quite frustrating. I may be able to find a workaround for that by chaining multiple engines together, but that's something for later. In the future I'd also like to try to implement user-definable patterns, but that will take more time.
This project has been rather more popular than I expected, so now is a good time to ask everyone: what features do you want to see in the app?
App doesn't work
After installing and turning on notification access for the app force closes when trying to open it
Lights don't stop flashing
Great use for the leds. A few observations:
Using the app (1.0.1) for a couple of days now. The leds do not stop flashing after dismissing notifications.
Also, while there is no notification for the service stopped, it does stop on its own after a 3-4 hrs (Which is when the leds do not flash when receiving notifications) Haven't figured out what makes it stop yet.
I'm on LOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2)

That's odd. The logic for handling a notification dismissal is as simple as counting the number of active notifications and turning the lights off if there aren't any, so I can't think why the lights would enable but not disable. It sounds obvious, but did you have any low priority persistent notifications active while testing? That's honestly the only thing I can think of.

A phone even with killer looks and amazing features still needs a descent battery backup to support it all. In past we've seen that a few tricks here and there always tend to increase battery life. Usually that includes disabling a few apps or features. This thread is for specifically targeting such tips & tricks and sharing it all so that S6 Edge+ can live upto its expectations..
1. To start with, lets get to the list of bloatwares that can be safely disabled.
If any of you own the AT&T version, here's a list you can disable:-
AT&T Apps:-
AT&T FamilyMap
AT&T Hot Spots
AT&T Live
AT&T Locker
AT&T Mail
AT&T Mobile Locate
AT&T Mobile Transfer
AT&T Navigator
AT&T Ready2Go
AT&T Smart Wi-Fi
Drive Mode
Caller Name ID
Mobile TV
Plenti
Smart Limits
Yp (Yellow Pages)
Other Apps:-
S Voice
Amazon (I prefer the playstore version for frequent updates)
Amazon Kindle
Device Help
Live Weather (Yahoo)
Lookout
Theme Store
Visual Voicemail
2. Refrain from using any free application that has embedded advertisements. They tend to run threads in background to load adds and thus degrade the app performance and used data (so naturally consume more power too). Either buy add-free version or find an alternate app for same purpose and without adds.
3. Disable notifications from social media/news apps like Facebook, Twitter, Tapatalk, etc. Although, the phone wouldn't be that smart if all the notifications are disabled, however, keep them at bare minimum. Not everybody would be interested in notifications from all the apps, so spend some time analyzing through all the installed apps and their settings to turn off the notifications for the apps you do not need to get notifications for. There are several apps that keep sending notifications and running a thread in background which again checks internet to load the notification content. An example would be games like Candy Crush or Clash Of Clans.
4. Turn off "Send Usage Statistics" or "Help Improve the app performance", "Participate in improvement" etc settings from the app which sends data from your device from time to time which acts as a survey to improve the performance of the app. Although this is a necessary option for a developer, however, if you do not care about your granular contribution towards further development of the app, try deselecting such options while setting up new apps.
5. Refrain from using external Memory Management Apps and RAM Cleaners. They tend to run heavy background services to detect memory usage and kill applications. Trust me, you would be better without them.
6. Try using black wallpaper and lock screen. Also, always select Dark Mode if any app has theme section. This makes the pixels produce less brightness and considerably save more battery.
7. Keep GPS Location off when not using any navigational/location based apps. When the GPS is ON, there are some apps that tend to acquire a GPS Lock even though they can work without it. Keeping GPS Off will not allow such apps to request for GPS Lock. GPS Locking is a battery draining process.
8. You can use certain tools like Greenify, WiFi Automatic, etc. to automatically manage application states or phone wireless to save some additional battery. Use these only if you are lazy like me. Otherwise you can always manually turn on/off wifi/bluetooth/nfc etc etc. Also, there are tools (like Juice Defender) which can enable/disable data connective at a frequent interval which results in really good power conservation without loosing push notification.
With applying most of these settings, I'm getting 6-7 hrs of screen on time very easily even when I've downloaded 1+ GB data and 40 minutes of video chat (hangout). Not to mention the usual gaming and application usage.:cyclops:
I hope that helps. I'll keep adding if I get any (without root).
Reserved for future use!

I'm sure you mean rooting and installing all sorts of battery saving items/tweaking.
Marely rooting wouldn't bring any difference to battery life for sure!
Just tweak brightness, make sure you getting good signal and use WiFi when available, don't leave Abby of the radio on unless not using it and that shall be good I guess

It's the icon on the lower right corner of the screen that says "Apps". Once you get in there find the app that you want to disable. Long press the icon of the app and drag it to the upper left corner of the screen where it says "Disable". Then when the "Disable" word lights up red just release the app into there.
Check out my screenshot for an example.

Please tell me a solution if any one knows:
I open facebook and after some time i close this application by click on list tasks soft key and close it. Immediately when I go into setting > application manager > running apps I still see a facebook process running. Technically i guess this should be gone i guess and hence any idea how to clean these which i guess can improve battery life.
Update: If I have notifications turned on in facebook then yes it can still run some process even after I close it in Apps Tab but I see the same with Samsung Music Player i.e after I close it I still see a thread in "Running" Apps.

These kind of apps do tend to run a background process to check for updates. Closing the app doesn't necessarily mean that the processes will close. And I'm not even sure even if you turn off all the notification services of an app, all the related processes will close for sure, it depends. Also, if you are using apps like facebook etc, do not worry much about the battery life if you have turned off the background data usage and notification services. It will have very minimal impact, almost negligible!

Out of all those 30 apps you disabled did you lose any functionality?
I've chosen to post this fix that I have created here to bring more attention to XDA, instead of posting directly on OPPO Forums. This is because OPPO staff have clearly stated with their latest release of ColorOS v2.1.5i that it will be their last.
The mods also didn't reply when I offered to share with them this, so.. That's the situation there.
For those who still prefer ColorOS while Project Spectrum is being developed (released today but not all ColorOS features included), follow the steps below.
After 3 weeks if testing.. Here is the fix!!
Issue:
After some usage, you notice app notifications appear, then disappear immediately.
After reboot, this behavior persists. Additionally, your startup apps do not autostart anymore.
Apps in the background are automatically closed after switching to another app.
Manual Fix:
There is a problematic folder and file that needs to be removed. Use a file manager such as Solid Explorer to browse to the files and remove them.
/data/data_bpm - remove folder and files
/data/system/appops.xml - remove file
Reboot and all is fixed.
Persistent notifications hidden using notification centre reappears. Just enable and disable the notification through the notifications control and it will go away.
Tasker is recommended to create a reboot button. The task sequence for reboot would be to remove the problematic files and folder before reboot. It automates the process making your life easier.
If this helps you..
Please spread the word and link back to this thread on xda. ?
Thanks for the fix, dude, very much appreciated
Well done! Even though I am not using COS anymore, I really do appreciate your post!
Thank you for the fix! Cheers
Thanks for the share. Will try this. In the meantime, anyone still having notification problems, try greenify. The fix is in experimental features but you will need to pay for this feature. I've decided to settle on 2.1.5i. Will move to asop when it is more stable. Cheers.

Could you elaborate more? I'm also using greenify but issue still persists.
You need xposed framework for it to work. In settings, go to experimental features. Tick telephony wake up, don't remove notifications and gcm push. I have all notifications coming in on time. Gmail default app seems to be the only problem app so I use default email app instead. P.s. I tried deleting the first folder and files but it shows up again after reboot. The second file is gone. Is this correct? Thanks.

I had all the options selected. Guess it does not work for me.
And yes, files are recreated. I would suggest adding the deletion to a task sequence for reboot to automate the procedure.

Regarding notifications, I've also put every messaging app and email in white list and auto run management. Funny why it's not working out for you. I get reply notifications from youtube too, without adding it. Not sure about how to do the task sequence but everything seems to be fine now.

You can use Tasker to create a reboot button or profile.
But I suggest using other mm roms.. Coloros pales in comparison after I switched.
If you're rooted, removing Security Centre would stop a lot of issues....
These Chinese phones are over the top on built in security apps and I assume because China has a lot of aggressive adware.
Xposed and MinMinGaurd, plus AdBlock Browser fixes a lot of issues.
@RobboW Do you really remove the Security Centre?
I kept it but it is annoying at times. You have to go in and check so many settings if you install anything you want to run at boot or start up itself. I even had to move a couple of apps into system instead of user so they would run reliably.
Does Xposed trouble with Color OS?
Deleting the file and folder seems to do the job, but not 100%. Yesterday I noticed Waze was closing after switching to another app, so I checked and they were back in the data folder. Deleted them again, but they seem to reappear after every reboot? Anyway, now waze seems to work and does not close with the "new" fikes.
Another solution to the problem is to convert apps that have problems to system apps. It worked for me with Chrome (wasn't getting Facebook notifications at all in chrome), Google Calendar, and Titanium Backup (batch actions would not complete because the app would close when not in foreground).
Do you need to be rooted to locate/delete the two files? I can't seem to find it on my device.

Flash Notifications
This is an app which lets you use your phone's flash as a notification LED. As you might notice our phone doesn't have a notification LED but instead it has a flash light next to the selfie camera. Whenever you get a notification and your screen is turned off, the app will blink the flash light until you dismissed them all. For the sake of battery life the delay between the blinks is increased over time which means the longer you leave your phone alone the rarer a blink will occur.
WHAT IS WORKING NOW
As soon as you get a notification and your screen turns off the phone's selfie flash starts blinking
The blinking is paused when you turn your screen on
The blinking is stopped if you dismiss all of the notifications
KNOWN ISSUES/LIMITATIONS
Because of the way how AlarmManager is implemented no app can wake up the device when it is in dose mode more frequent than 15 minutes. This means as soon as the device enters into deep sleep my app will only be able to wake up the device and blink the flash light in every 15 minutes
Notifications posted by music player/radio also trigger a notification - expected to be resolved in the future
PLANS FOR FUTURE
Prevent specific apps to use flash notifications
Let the user select the which apps should use flash notifications
Let the user switch between front and back facing flash
Define blinking patterns for individual apps
Make the settings exportable into storage or cloud
Increase the list of supported devices
The current build is only expected to work on J510 running Android 6.0.1.
Download APK
I NEED YOUR HELP
Please report any app that should be excluded by default. One of those apps are music apps, if you pause the song a cleanable notification will be created and my app will start blinking the flash which of course is not desired.
DISCLAIMER
This app comes freely WITHOUT ANY KIND OF WARRANTY! I don't take any responsibility for the damages it might cause (data loss/missed alarms because the battery died too fast/you being fired because you were late from work)! This is an alpha release!

It is a background service. It doesn't have a launcher icon. Read the instructions before making accusations.
My phone freezes can't use after installed this app
I was forced to factory settings wipe all now everything starts over again
PS. I'm on android 5.1.1 SM-J5108, didn't notice the instructions at first :/
Nice app.
Stock rom has this option in Settings Accessibility Hearing. Can not get it to work though.
Edit: Stock flash notification is only for back flash lite and for certain apps. I tested your app/service and it works
great. Maybe some user settings like front/back flash and timers? Perhaps apps list with toggles?
Keep up the good work.
Stocm Rom Has It
No matter whether you're in 5.0 or 6.0, there is a setting under "Accessibility/Hearing" for the feature. Only helpful indoors and at night though.
Cool, but is there any way to dim the flash brightness?
It also flashes after notification of installed app. Not big deal.
Cool work full
Wish this would work on my Moto 4G Play, don't know why manufactures are removing visual (LED) notifications from their devices, even my cheap LG Volt has this feature and it's very helpful when you are away from you phone.

Many users have asked more details on how I achieved my battery life results, this guide will cover some basic settings and behaviors that are proven or supposed to reduce energy consumption, no root involved.
Power results to expect:
7-9h SoT: Mainly 4G, mid to max brightness, navigation applications and outdoors utilities.
9-11h SoT: Your average work day, 50% max brightness and 4G, 50% half brightness or less on WiFi, mainly video playing, communication and web browsing applications.
11-14h SoT: Same as above but with lowered screen brightness and no 4G.
Gaming applications automatically forfeit any battery report due to too many variables. I can’t include them, but your gaming time will certainly last longer if you follow everything.
According to what has been seen on forums, Snapdragon versions seem to perform considerably worse than Exynos ones regarding power consumption and they should be expected to not last as much, I’m still waiting to see a side by side battery test between the two, please mention your model when posting screenshots.
Initial Setup
Just a few options here:
Avoid restoring backups from older/previous devices, Google’s app data restoring system has been known to permanently influence Play Services’ drain.
Smart Switch is also bugged, do not use it, everyone saw better results by skipping it.
Set up as new and import only what you need.
Theme
Night Theme
Black/Night themes will reduce power consumption without doubt while helping your AMOLED maintain quality for the future, your Quickpanel has a simple shortcut to enable Night mode system-wide and on supported Samsung applications, keep it on all the time if possible.
Quickpanel
Your Quickpanel is not actually black in Night mode (85% black), it also forces your device to drop frames every time it is summoned by blurring the background, a very expensive and unnecessary effect.
Download Good Lock from the Galaxy store
Open QuickStar, set BG Color to black (make sure to run the bar to the darkest end) and disable Blur effect.
Launcher
As smooth and elegant as OneUI Home can look, it is stupidly heavy on the GPU, especially when launching the app drawer (unnecessary blur effect again), you can see Nova and OneUI Home compared:
Nova: No frames dropped
OneUI: Dropping frames EVERY single time the drawer is summoned, keeps dropping several scrolls later too.
You can make Nova look exactly the same as stock OneUI while having more features and better performance.
Background wallpapers
Darker wallpapers will help, but overall no big deal.
Animated wallpapers are expensive, you’re not going to stare at them, keep your wallpapers static and your animations in the gallery.
Connections
More connection settings: Disable Nearby device scanning, it’s mostly used to push ads whenever you’re around malls and shops.
Private DNS: Set your DNS to 1dot1dot1dot.cloudflare-dns.com, Cloudflare’s DNS will greatly improve your browsing speeds. This setting will also make it harder for Google to track you around the web, you will be blacklisted from Google Opinion Rewards by keeping it on, if you do not use Google Opinion Rewards then you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
Location services
Biometrics and Security, Location, disable everything under Improve accuracy, you don’t need this on this phone, nobody does, modern GPS systems are already accurate enough indoors to not justify having to scan for Wifi SSIDs or Bluetooth even when they're off.
Audio
Dolby Atmos requires some additional processing to handle the extra channels, if you do not hear any quality difference, keep it off.
Display
FHD+ (2280 x 1080) and WQHD+ (3040 x 1440) will look exactly the same to the untrained eye.
WQHD+ will to make your GPU worry about 23% more pixels, it will result in:
-30min off your average SoT day
-25% less autonomy in 3D games
I personally couldn’t go back to 1080p after upgrading all my displays. All my SoT screenshots have been taken on 1440p settings.
Apps
Most apps can be disabled from Settings, Apps, for apps that can’t be disabled that way, I recommend using this guide if you are unfamiliar with Adhell.
After disabling everything related to Facebook (use alternative apps if you really need it), do not keep duplicate active services that do the same kind of tasks;
If you are using Gboard as keyboard, disable Samsung Keyboard and Keyboard Neural beta
If you are not using OneUI Home then disable OneIU Home and Bixby Home.
You can safely disable Bixby itself if you prefer Google Assistant or no assistant at all.
You can apply the same principle to all the system apps you think aren’t useful to you, this will greatly reduce RAM usage and CPU wakelocks/alarms.
Battery Monitors
They’re not free to use, they drain energy by logging, everything does.
Unless you’re specifically checking for rogue apps attacking your battery, get rid of Accubattery or similar apps.
Keyboard
The two best keyboards I know are Gboard and Samsung keyboard, I do not like and cannot recommend any other.
Your keyboard should also be black at all times, that will result in at least 30% less power waste when typing, Gboard and Samsung Keyboard have their own themes for that.
Disable anything that makes your buttons clicking sounds or vibrations, it’s unnecessary, energy expensive and has been demonstrated to not improve your typing performance in any way.
Device Care
Good utility, but you shouldn’t run it manually and you shouldn’t kill apps with it, instead:
Enable Auto optimisation, set it some-when during your sleep.
Enable Auto restart, no Operating System is immune to bugs manifesting by staying on for too long, make your device restart itself at least every 3 days, when you sleep, and at least 10 minutes after auto optimisation is supposed to run.
Disable Security, Samsung is getting paid to put this McAfee crap in their firmware, in the EU it will be disabled by default since it is also a tracker not initially included in any other contract from Samsung.
If you accidentally enable it, go to Apps, look for Device Security, and wipe data, that will disable it.
Android does not need an Antivirus, you will not get malware unless you install modified apps with unofficial signatures (the Play Store still has malware too, stay away from shady apps), if you often try third party apps from the outside, make sure your apks are clean by uploading them to www.virustotal.com.
If you suspect your phone has been infected and you can’t identify the package, install a better Antivirus software such as Bitdefender or Avira, but I don’t recommend keeping them installed unless you are playing with high risk applications all the time.
Sleeping apps
Sleeping apps puts unused (not in your multitasker) apps to sleep, alike pressing X on a desktop Operating System.
Since most apps are badly optimised and using Android’s great RAM management to keep them alive only results in more wakelocks and drain, Samsung deserves a lot of respect for letting us do this without third party apps such as Brevent or Greenify.
You need to have Outlook installed on your phone to follow those annoying work e-mails, but you’re tired of notifications? Put it to sleep.
Put every app to sleep unless:
You need notifications from it
You use it often
Animations
Animations are expensive and make your system appear slower, reducing them will help by making your GPU draw less frames.
They can be sped up or disabled from Developer options, I recommend .5x for a good balance, to enable developer options:
Settings, about phone, software information, repeatedly tap on Build number until you magically become a developer.
Additional animations can be removed by enabling Reduce animations in Advanced features and Remove Animations in Accessibility, Visibility enhancements.
Ad-blocking
If you are using Adhell, that’s your best adblocker for Knox devices.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts is the best collection of hosts, make sure your Adhell is whitelisting Analytics domains, you will notice these domains being spammed under “Domains blocked in past 24 hours”, Android will keep trying to reach those domains until they are whitelisted.
If you don’t want to use Adhell for whatever reason, Blokada is an excellent VPN-based adblocker that is way less invasive and does not seem to impact battery, use it with the recommended hosts and keep it on at all times, enable always on if you notice it getting killed often.

A great alternative to facebook is Face Slim
some great tips there thank you
so if you are struggling battery life wise should you go from QHD to FHD or does it make no real difference? and would you say having a blue wallpaper would drain a lot more than a black wallpaper?

FHD will definitely help but I find vision quality to be a higher priority over half an hour or more of battery per full cycle, it's totally up to you.
Blue wallpapers will in theory drain more than any other colour, this Dynamic AMOLED's blue subpixel is much larger than the others, but you won't feel the difference unless you stay still on your home page for long periods of time.
Also one small correction if I may. The correct DNS should be 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com
(you forgot the last 1 at the end).

I'm not sure about the "sync in a google app" as even going thru parameters (without opening any app, above all a google one), it keeps re enabling itself. I suspect that the S10 os is buggy (this android version or samsung implementation ??) or embedded with hidden (unreachable) parameters.

Just one thing to add. That is really great and comprehensive guide. I actually disabled few apps and services. Be aware though, if you disable One UI launcher and are using navigation gestures, you will lose recents and back gesture.

So, it's ok to let the Location "ON" and just disable everything under "improve accuracy"? The battery draining isn't significant for location "on" or "off"?
I remember in Oreo we had the opportunity to set it on battery saving.

Disclaimer: I am not Responsible for Burns on your gorgeous Amoled display or the Nuclear war triggered or your anything using by my guide.
As we have the Notification Led ditched by Sammy, we have a few alternatives. However, I have somewhat mimicked the missing features through Always On Edge.
Play Store Link: (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
I can understand that this has already been discussed, my purpose of this thread is to Guide you an effective configuration of the AOE app. Many people find the app difficult to configure as this is like a "One Page Website" containing almost all the options in the same place, therefore looking messy. Also, this app have several bugs yet I found this most reliable yet.
I don't claim any credit for the App.
Steps:
Please disable dear Samsung's Edge Light feature OFF.
Disable Window and Transition Animation off in Dev Settings if you don't like AOE flickering statusbar during notification reminder.
Install Always on Edge from the play store link above.
Go to AOE settings, Give the app necessary Permission.
Exclude the app from being battery optimized.
On How/When to Light section, select your preferences. In "When Notification Comes", select your apps to notify and set your preferred colour.
Turn Reminder on for 8 seconds in every 16 seconds.
On Edge Style, Select Stable (This helps reduce battery drain).
Check Adjust brightness, keep it at mid range or as you prefer.
On How to Close, select Double Tap to Close.
Now, on Enable Edge Lighting, keep it enabled, Select around Notch only. On the notch support settings, select Adjust manually and select the values 55,0,15,10, Right > 120 respectively.
This will make a smaller notification LED like light above the notch. We usually don't use that area so, it should be absolutely fine. With these settings, you get a working notification LED alternative.
I hope this helps a lot of us. These settings are my personal preference at this moment. I am also looking into Chainfire's Holey Light but that thing is a baby and drains battery plus does not notify when on battery and screen is off. So, I shall wait till other alternatives are available.
There's a Thank Button for Every Post That Makes you Thankful to the Author.

This app doesnt work properly for me, it only shows notification around camera ring after i wake the screen, whats the point of it than?
Not to mention often there is like overlay over regular losckreen so i need to unlock twice, it comes over fingeprint area so i cant directly unlock phone from screen off.
Reinstalled it 3 times already just to see if im crazy or not and redid from scratch following 100% guide from youtube or net.
What im doing wrong here or it works like that for all?
@ivicask,
I can't tell you what you're doing wrong, but it's not supposed to work like that. On my phone it notifies me as soon as a new message notification arrives. Try experimenting with some of the options. And read all the notices that the developer put in the app.

Can you check if the "Screen is Off" is selected in the when a notification comes section. Also, did you disable Edge Lighting?
These are my settings and it works perfectly fine and the notification light stays on until I dismiss it. The red circled area is what needs to be changed to leave the notification light on until you dismiss it.
In the last screenshot, you scroll down through that list to select the apps you want a notification light for. Whenever you install a new app on your phone it gets automatically check off in that list. Just something to remember.
In addition whenever you make a change you have to hit save at the bottom.
This setup also works with Samsung stock AOD.

I wish people would stop recommending this app. I have had 0 success in using it and having it work as intended. I have tried your settings, and once again this does not work for me; When I get a notification, the screen lights up, shuts off, and there is no indication that a message has arrived. There are like 3 threads on this particular program that also offer suggestions on how to get the program to "work".
Yes, Edge lighting has been disabled. I even went a step further and rebooted the phone, then installed the app. Used your settings, as well as the other settings that have been suggested and I have the same outcome, I just don't get it. I am sure that atleast 100 of the reported downloads are form me trying to get this app to work LOL.
I appreciate your time to try to explain how you managed to get the app to work, but is not reliable imho, and I really wish it were
I just use the AOD, as much as I hate it, it's about the only reliable way to know that a notification has arrived.

What are the other apps? I would love to try anything that would give me a working notification indicator.
You and I have a vastly different expectation when it comes to "working as intended". If it did work as intended, all of us would be able to have this app function correctly.
I also find it very convoluted and bloated. When creating a UI for any app, you should use the "user is drunk method". Meaning even if a person were intoxicated, they should be able to use the app. But that is neither here nor there.
I appreciate what the developer has done, I just haven't been able to accomplish the task at hand.

I also have had the same problem. I normally used double tap to wake. It is however, present in this app.
Select double tap to close this app. And just use the fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone. It works. I have been using this.
About the Bloated UI of the app, I also agree with all of you. I also contacted the developer on this. He said he will look into this once the app become more stable.
Those, who could not get this app working, I'm sure there is some settings of your phone that are contradicting. For examplen if a notification wakes up the screen, this app will not notifiy. Moreover, yes, I have been using this app as my daily driver now. It does not disappoint me. I have used all the other apps available, Holey Light, Arc Lighting. None works as it should. They works as mentioned by the dev but those features are not the feature an LED-holic person is looking for. Holey Light cannot notify when not being charged. Arc notification ridiculously asks me to watch ad for every hour I use the app.
I am not being paid by the app developer to spread the words. I am spreading the word because it works for me and it SHOULD work for you also as we share the same device. There must be some conflicting app or settings. If anyone needs help settings this up, I would love to help.
