LIght Flow on LG G4

Is anyone using Light Flow with the LG G4 to control the LED? If you are can you please list the step to get it working the way you want it.

Turn off all the led options in the phones settings except the bottom "downloaded apps" option.

It's the only way to get it to work. I had many emails with the dev in the last 24hours and you need to uncheck all options BUT "downloaded apps" in the stock notifications setting and it will work.
The other issue is that you might not be able to select "always on" as an option for the LED flash rate and actually have it stay on. So, instead, you have to set a custom time with say something like 50000,10 and then the LED will stop blinking. I have 2 notifications - charging and charged - when plugged in the LED would blink rapidly the colors I set no matter what I selected for LED flash rate time. Setting the custom length resolved that.

Thank you, if you find more information please share it with us in this thread.

battery charging always on LED was blinking for me, so I set it to custom blink, and then something like 99999999,0

Anyone else running light flow and can you post some of your configuration?

Excellent, I'm glad it did.

I have it working very well now after toying with a lot of settings and doing a lot testing & debugging/logging with the dev.
What we did find out through the tests is that - at least on the USA version with Verizon - it will not notify you if you have a Voice Mail or Visual Voice Mail (I use) and that it turns out, LG made it's own "voice mail" app - whereas in the past Verizon had their own voice mail or visual voice mail app. So, his next release addresses this new LG Voice Mail specific app because the 2 we have on the Verizon phone ( "Voice Mail" and "Voicemail Notification Monitoring") will not trigger a Lightflow notification as they are new LG specific app.

Do you figured out with the DEV how to make the light steady specially when the phone is charging instead of setting a crazy custom value?

No. We did not try to address that further given the custom number value solves that - which is why that function even exists. So, I - and I am sure he - looks at that as a low priority issue as that method works. However, once the VM/VVM issue gets resolved, I will ask him if there is a way to see how to get that working so no custom value is needed and so "always on" does it's job of being "always on".

[APP]AMOLED Notification Light "NotifyBuddy"

So I was annoyed not having an LED notification light on oneplus 6t so I tried to make one of my own.
As OP6T has amoled display whenever a desired notification comes the app brings in a black screen with notification LED looking animation.
Though this is tested on OP6T, it should be working for most Android Oreo and later phones.
If not working for your phone, I'll suggest you to send me logs at [email protected]
To use it:
Install App.
Disable any battery optimisation for the app.
Give notification access permission.
Give full screen permission(if any required for your phone)
Select apps you want notifications for, by choosing a color (Only apps you set a color to enables LEDs).
Note: On successfully selecting a color for an app the text in which the App name is written should change to that color
Thats it.
For MIUI 11 devices make sure that AutoStart is enabled in App Info. Also check "Show on lock screen" permission in other settings.
Settings image: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1yxrLd5u7kLSGBwviKhXYqM21YLC8Dhiv
Note: To turn off the LED and to unlock phone double tap anywhere on the screen or use power button.
App now available on Play Store, please rate and share if you liked the app.
Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy
Working Video: https://youtu.be/vFKiHS_ZD-k
See settings for your phone for NotifyBuddy on this link: https://dontkillmyapp.com
If it is not running after various troubleshoot measures, maybe send the logs.
Give your feedback!!

Working great, good job!
What about System Apps (Phone, message etc.) ? I'm not able to find them in your app.
Gmail is missing as well and it is not a system app.
Thanks in advance!

Same here. Also, an off switch for each app would be more convenient instead of picking white colour.
This is just what I needed, works great on my phone. Thank you!

I would consider using this if and when you include system apps. They are the only ones I'm interested in getting notifications from. Thanks for your efforts

Fantastic
Brilliant
Go work for 1+
Show them how to do the job properly

Great start!! works like a charm, agree on the systems apps thing though..

Wow, Great App.:good:
Works Perfect.

@HarshBoy99 Hello! Thank you for the job you''re doing, but if you don't mind, i would like to point some important things.
You'r app uses a black overlay with a colorized dot in the corner, it's cool but there is a but. If The device is in a pocket, and you're using a pocket detection, the screen will turn on and show the pocket detection screen - what kinda annoying issue.
Another moment, again - becauses there is a use of black overlay, when there is already a notification panding and you recieve anothere on, there is a head-up notification with the all status bar info that shows up, again - kinda annoying.
As a recommandation - trigger the built-in AOD app instead of using a black overlay, that will fix the issues i've mentioned above + there will be an option to use fingerprint scanner on notifications.
Wish you the best!

Well I have included pocket detection in app, i.e if the LED is on and the sensor is covered the activity will be stopped. But if you have pocket mode on, it will show you the pocket mode screen for a brief moment and then switch off the display. This will help save battery if phone is in your pocket.
Yeah on that heads-up notification, I haven't found a way to get rid of this but it is only an issue of few seconds.
There are already many apps that bring on the default AOD display but it doesn't feel like an actual LED and moreover we can't change the appearance of AOD as it is a system app.
Thank You!

I wish there is an more option for WhatsApp. I do not want to receive LED from the Watsp group
Thanks

Thanks for the app.
I have a problem in my op6t.
When i use the app and the notification led is on, the unlock button does not works well, i mean, i have to push three or four times.
Sorry about my english, i hope you can understand me. ?

I have been using the app for some days now. I have also locked the app in recents to avoid it being killed or stop functioning. But when I get a notification, double tapping doesn't work instantly. Have to tap 4 times at least. Also, on unlocking the phone, I am in the Notify Buddy app instead.

App is great if you don't mind me offering suggestions I have a couple.
The light to move around in intervals across the top of the screen or even the two corners just to prevent possible burn in, say if you get a notification in the middle of the night or something and it blinks for hours on end (I know the chances are slim, but better to be safe than sorry)
Possibly an option to cycle the notification light if you have multiple notifications, so if I have a sms text and a messenger text it would blink once for the sms and once for messenger and cycle between them so I know I have 2 notifications.
An interval setting maybe how fast or slow for it to pulse or to keep it static. (If you choose to make it static warn it could possibly cause burn in)
If it's possible a way to keep the overlay active unless the notification is gone, I tested the app sending myself an sms text just to make sure everything was working I left the notification and the overlay didn't go back to the LED the screen just stayed black. If I'm not mistaken an actual notification light would stay active until the notification for said app was cleared.
That's all I really have for suggestions, I appreciate what you're doing with this app it's honestly the best alternative to any of the apps attempting to replicate a notification LED. I don't want you to think I don't like the app I'm just thinking of how my old phones with notification LED's behaved with notifications. Again thank you for your work and I hope my suggestions were something that could be of use.

Other then waking the phone this app is bloody great ?

Well this was exactly how I wanted for my app to function, but while testing it myself I observed that I had pending notification almost always and it would drain the battery exponentially. Therefore I went with notifying the user only while he is away from phone.

How to turn off Charging status when screen off/AOD????????

This is really annoying, when my phone is charging and the screen is off, it constantly shows the battery % and time until battery is charged. Tried turning off the AOD, looked all through the settings and no go. Anyway to turn this off??? My note 9 does not do this

I posted this on another thread, hope it helps. Worked for me:
I got the package disabler from here https://www.packagedisabler.com/ . It's kind of shady so I advise to use PayPal(it is not a free app) if possible. You will need to enable the option to sideload applications, do a search for 'unknown sources' on the phone, should pop-up right away. Download the app from the site, search it with the file explorer and install it, you should also receive a code in your email after you pay, paste it. Scroll down until you see 'Always on Display' and select disable. This worked for me. The app is more than $3.00 as they charge in Euros. Hope this help

Any other option how to disable it? A lot of people use AOD and this option probably will turn whole AOD.

I don't think it is possible with regular settings or tweaks, It is such a replacement for missing LED indicator in Note 10(+). Unlike previous model.

I was always wondering about this as if the phone is on charge every night what is stopping the burn in on the screen. it's a good answer to the lack of a LED, but it seems a bit overkill.

Search for screen saver under display or lock screen settings. It's about what to display when phone is charging.

The screen saver won't show if you press power button to turn off screen. It will only work if you wait for screen to turn off by itself.

I consider everything outside the play store as 'shady'. Anyways, I used PayPal and the app worked great. One thing to consider that I don't think has been mentioned is that you 2ont be able to change your lock screen clock shape as it is tied to the AOD app somehow.

Ah...but it's not the only way.

If you prefer to stick to the play store instead of third party I'm currently using CCSWE from Google play for this.
You CAN do this with the free version. Simply go to the search box in the app type AOD and search. Disable the one labeled com.samsung.android.app.aodservice.
This will disable the AOD completely - so no charging screen and no general AOD use.

Download a black wallpaper, such as this one: https://i.imgur.com/NakfHv4.jpg
Put it ina folder by itself and label it so you remember it.
Turn on screensaver under Display Settings, and set the screensaver to photo frame. Set that to the folder that contains your our black wallpaper.
Now when you charge the phone, it will start the screen saver, which will be all black, no charging notification. If you still see the charging notification, just double tap the screen to go to lockscreen and let it time out. The notification will be gone.

Edge lighting - notifications

Since our AOD notifications light comes only once and it's barely visible, I've decided to find some replacement for it...
I tried a few AOD apps from Play Store but the phone never goes in deep sleep with them,except for this one :good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.edgelighting
It illuminates the edges of the screen when a notification appears, it's colorful, goes around the sreen,very visible...you can change its duration,thickness...there's a few more settings there but only in the premium version...
I think you'll like it,check it out
Here's a gif example...

I tried it but couldn't make it work, it doesn't light up the screen, what settings do i have to enable/disable to make it work? I have given all the required permissions.
---------------------------------
Nevermind, I managed to make it work. Thanks

Turn on MIUI optimisation /Settings -> Additional settings -> Developer options - deep down below/ should be turned ON, active.

It isn't enough when app ask for them, you must go to Settings/Apps/Permissions/Other permissions,find True Edge and check Modify Sytem settings and Show on lock screen...
And lock it on the recent apps and allow Autostart.
Also check Force Service in True Edge settings...

Hi,
I installed this, because the little led on front camera is just a joke.
The app works fine for all notifications that do not turn screen on, so it works well for email or message-app.
But if a notification turns the screen on, this app does not work, so I get no lighting from whatsapp or missed calls that both turn on the screen for a moment.
Does someone have any idea how to solve this. I tried to disable screen on in whatsapp but had no success. It still goes on every time a get a message there. I disabled popup-message in app-setting with no effect.
I am on xiaomi.eu rom miui 11.04.

Unfortunately there is no option for this in WA. It has just an option for LED but this has no effect on display.
May there be a possibility to revoke some authorisation for this in Miui? I did not find one.
So do you get edge notification for missed calls or do you have the same problem than me there?

Sent the dev a message. With he solves that, I will probably buy pro version. It's the only thing that keep me away

I installed Miui 11.1 from xiaomi.eu today. With this version Always-On-Display got some improvements.
In fact I think I do not need any other notification app now.
In AOD I set a custom layout and used a black photo as background and set the switch to show notifications. So I get only an little line with time and date. Besides I set "light display when new notification arrives".
Now, when a message arrives the display switches on. I can see incoming message on lockscreen without touching the phone. Then the display switches off and AOD shows an icon from messaging app (see attached picture). This stays there until I unlock the phone.
This is perfect for me, I do not need any additional apps for this any more.
Only if phone is in a dark room, AOD switches off. That is not perfect because you do not see waiting messages then. But when you then lighten the room, AOD comes back. I can live with that.

I installed Miui 11.1 from xiaomi.eu today. With this version Always-On-Display got some improvements.
In fact I think I do not need any other notification app now.
In AOD I set a custom layout and used a black photo as background and set the switch to show notifications. So I get only an little line with time and date. Besides I set "light display when new notification arrives".
Now, when a message arrives the display switches on. I can see incoming message on lockscreen without touching the phone. Then the display switches off and AOD shows an icon from messaging app (see attached picture). This stays there until I unlock the phone.
This is perfect for me, I do not need any additional apps for this any more.

Is it possible to receive Viber notification on this updated Always-on-display?

Question Spotify media controller on notification bar not showing, despite having the notifications turned on for spotify

Hi! I had same problem until I tried to turn on notifications on lockscreen, It helped me. When I had turned this option off, the notification wasn't shown even on normal screen, not lockscreen.

I have the same annoying issue on xiaomi.eu 12.5.18! The only temporary workaround I've found is to kill the app and restart it.
Somehow it shows the Media controls for it then. I'm hoping someone here can provide a better fix for this.

Having this same issue on my phone for the past 1 month, it's so frustrating sometimes it shows the notification If I swipe down the notification bar, and sometimes it's not visible!!
