I am the developer of Light Manager. It is an app to configure notification LED color and its flashing frequency for different notification types.
I noticed that there are quite a lot of Nexus 5 users are using Light Manager app. Almost comparable to Samsung devices which Light Manager is designed based on. So I would like to make it fully compatible with Nexus 5. One major bug that users reported is the WhatsApp notification LED does not turn off even after notification has been read or cleared. I think it happens to other notification as well.
I don't have a Nexus 5 to test. Could someone willing to help in doing some beta testing? You may PM me or send me an email. I will send you the install apk for beta testing.
Thanks in advanced.
Actually I only start to have problem after update to 5.8, I am using ART
p.s. I got the same problem on hangout, not whatsapp
I have no issues with light manager but I don't use whatsapp or art.

I use and don't have any problem with LM, using it for months on several devices...
But if you look for further versions testers, I'm your man!

You mean the LED notification for hangouts remains blinking even after you have read the message? If you are using normal mode, did you enable "Allow Recreate Notification" in Light Manager > Hangouts option?

Could you help out in testing? I have added some fix but not sure if it can fix it or not. Let me know if you are OK and I will send you the apk installer for testing.

Yes I can help, but don't expect too much feedback from me due to I don't have too many msg per day to toggle the bug.

I've been using light manager for a long time and haven't had any issues. Using ART runtime and Hangouts. I also use alternating mode if that helps.

A Nexus 5 user reported that he found a way to simulate the whatsapp LED remains blinking bug at the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51149422&postcount=1727
Could someone here verify if it happens to you too? Just want to make sure if this bug happens to all Nexus 5 users instead of certain users only. By the way, he is using alternating mode.
Thanks in advanced.
I use to use this app a lot but the same issue with the whatsapp app was happening with Google hangouts for some reason.
I really love this app and always use it.
Is it possible to make notifications flash even if the screen is on? (i.e when using another app)
Thanks in advance

This has to be done at the firmware side instead of application.
Light Manager can support it if manufacturer allows it.

Will custom notifications sounds be implemented in future releases or the donate version?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Sometimes whatsapp notifications keeps blinking even after clearing the notification. It's needed to restart the light manager app.
It would be nice to have a led notification when receiving a call like light flow does.
There is no charging indication too. But I think it's a problem of nexus and not the app.
I keep using this app anyway, I use since a had a galaxy s4.

How come nexus is having charging indication problem?

There's no continuous led when charging.
The s4 behaviour is: when charging, red led continuously, when fully charged green led continuously.
In my recent experience with nexus 5, I can see that, with the stock kernel, it's impossible to have continuous led, only intermittent.
With custom kernels, like Franco or faux, we can see in changelog that there is continuous led implementation.

You can try go to Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Static LED and select option 2. That will give you somehow continuous red LED (In fact it is just 8s on 2s off as reported by other Nexus 5 user).
Mine blinks once when messages etc com in but that's it,no continuous blinkjng until I read text etc,can this be altered,also I think I read there are APS to set different colours or patterns for notifications ,is this correct ?
Try installing lightflow, might fix it. I got the paid version
Mine blinks until I acknowledge the notification.
Installed light flow very cool thanks
Use that $50 to upgrade to lightpro pro, then you can control any app.
Lightflow is not working at all for me. What settings are you using?
All i get is the super slow white led that is default for the phone. I've setup lightflow in the past for my N5, so I'm not sure whats up with the 6p.
I bought it so just set it up in the settings of the app and added what I wanted

I don't have my 6p yet but I've used lightflow in the past. Did you try turning on the lightflow service under the accessibility section of the settings?
Also, you guys that successfully got lightflow working.....are you able to get any and all colors you want kinda like you can on the N5?

It needs to be turned on in Notification Access.
Accessibility section doesn't do it.
Got it working posting how to now
thanks guys!
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but the Moto Z does have a front LED light that can be activated by changing /sys/class/leds/charging.
It seems to be activated when flashing in fastboot (?), and is a small white light between the camera and speaker. The Moto X LED app seems to work with root permissions. Unfortunately there's only one brightness, so the brightness control doesn't work.

i've use this since moto x style, z play also can use, but no option for missi call / message
Use light flow legacy for led for missed notifications.
I'm using Moto Led Enabler (root required).
With this you can choose which app enables the led.
Not the most stable app at the moment but does the job.
I'm currently only using it for hangouts, gmail and missed calls.
Every couple of days it needs a kick in the rear to get going again
Seems good, I do miss the light on my old S4.

Strange, it ticks all apps after close and open. And the LED did not go off. Is there some special setting necessary?

Thanks for your tip.
I installed the Moto Led Enabler is working now.
I use Light Flow Legacy with great succes. The LED blinks with every notification I want and it works together with Moto display. It needs root though.
First install the app. Go to the setting and enable 'root modus' and 'use root on every action' (or something like that, I use a different language on my phone). Then go to notifications and set charging led to 'only' and brightness to 255 for every notification. That's all

I guess it's not possible to access the LED without root. Not with this method anyway. So root is required for light flow legacy to work yes.
Hey guys,
Just to ask..
It's possible to change the notification leds from blue to other colors ?
Like a mod, or some edit in the rom !?

Sorry about that. I am not sure how Lightflow and Magisk work (or don't work together). There is another app similar to light flow called Light Manager. I haven't used that one. It may or may not work for you. I have heard that others like it.
I've used lightflow and light manager and they both work. I personally like the way lightflow app is set up but that's just me lol.

Hey
Tryied the aplications Lightflow and Light Manager..
Good aplications but it's for changing led beside speaker...
I want to change the color notification from the led around the screen .. you guys dont have it ? o.o
An idea of what I'm talking... Led/Light Notifications
I don't believe we can't edit this led. Maybe a change of code in the rom or a mod..
we have option to deactivate this led in the rom options, soo perhaps we can access to is code to modify either.
when receiving any notification I realized when the phone screen is upside up the led appears to be thiny, and If you turn screen upside down the led light become more larger and change the color to green.
Ideas:
- Changing led notification colors.
- Changing the time of led stays on.
- Changing light effects (Breathing, Fading, Marquee, Pulse, Spectrum wave, Alternating)
- Change intensity.
Is this possible? Or some of this ideas now or in the future ?

I think that what you are talking about is edge lighting. That is a feature specific to the S8 line (I think). It is actually the screen lighting up, not an LED. I am able to get mine to light, but it is always blue. I haven't been able to change the color, duration, or pattern, but I haven't put much effort into it.
Look up Edge Lighting for the Galaxy S8 and maybe you will find some pointers on how to modify the behavior of the edge lighting. On my version of the phone there is a setting for Edge Display, but it only has a few options of when the lighting is used. No color, duration, or pattern options.

Yes, thats right...
But I don't think the light come from the screen.
Try to put phone with screen down and make a call for your phone with another phone.. When start blinking, put screen up and see the color "blue" changing to "green".
The light frame when the phone is upside down is more stronger, and when receive notifications with screen up is tiny.
I believe that is the maximus frame of the "led".
Yeah your thinking about edge light. That comes from the screen (only the edge it lit). There's no way to customize it (that I know of)

Hi,
As you probably all noticed, the led notification is so slow, that it is almost useless unless you stare at the phone for like 20 seconds.
Is there a way to change its speed?
Why is Lightflow not working on this device? Color edits work but not speed.
Is it a kernel or software issue?
Thanks

I asked them this in one of their AMAs and their response was that they do not expect to add the ability to change the duration or colors (or give us the ability to change them ourselves)...something along the lines of it would affect everyone, so it is what it is.
I fully agree that the blue color is really impossible to notice and the duration is ridiculously slow. I've tried lightflow, but hate that interface and don't like having to run another app in the background.
I'm just waiting for a more stable version of LineageOS that has the controls built in.

Lightflow can only changes the colors anyway, not the speed/duration.
Is it a kernel or rom edits that is required for that?
