[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] draztikrhymez:
I like the quick reply pop up of handcent, I'll try chomp n go too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] highlanderx:
Stock doesn't lag at all when scrolling with pictures. I tried to keep using it, but there were some annoying things. The text box was too big to start with. For some reason it was delaying text messages or not sending them correctly.

THe fact that INSIDE the bubble it displays the other person's name, kinda bothers me. The fact that there is no quick reply was a turn off. Although you could download sms pop up, I found that the communication between both programs was not the best.

Go is super, but... its REALLY over crowded. Too many options and extremely easy to hit the button you do not wish when in a rush. Other than that, its great. I liked specially from this one that you had the call button on the top of the contact and you do NOT have to hit 3 taps to call anyone from the app (Pic-Call-confirm).

THe one I am using is CHOMP. It's the one that most resembles the iPhone and bitesms (same makers). Its being updated CONSTANTLY. So it's the most promising. You can one click call the contact through the quick reply. The only thing I miss from Chomp that go has is the call short cut in the message thread. Its light and its fast.

U jst need to be on a deoxed custom rom. Before u flash the theme u need to wipe cache and dalvik cache and that's it. Cool theme btw I'm running it since the first version
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
You will need to flash a ROM other than stock first. This theme requires a deodexed ROM which anything other than stock usually is. So go to Development and look through the top few ROMs and pick one to flash. I recommend Legendary or a lot of people also like ACS ROM. Then after you flash your ROM you can flash the theme.
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
I love that theme!

If you have clockwork mod installed, flash the latest build of either the ACS ICS or ERA ROM for EI22

I know that theme work without issue with both

After flashing the ROM via clockwork mod recovery and bootibg up to do a quick check, flash the zip file for the theme in CWM recovery

Then boot up and setup your phone to you final preferences

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ksc6000:
I am really really happy that the galaxy nexus has a notification light. That was the thing preventing me from moving on from my nexus one.

Of course I wish Google would make the notification light more customizable because as it stands its really worthless by default.

I'm using light flow to help but its not perfect. Maybe its just not ready for ics yet or I'm doing something wrong but these r the problems I'm encountering:

In Google talk when I type a message and the screen goes off, the notification light comes on as if the person has responded but its being triggered by my own message. The only way I've been able to help with this is to hit menu>end chat after typing my message.

The other issue is with Google voice. I don't see a notification light up for it. Do any of you know if the paid version of the app will do it for Google voice?

Thirdly it doesn't seem to stop the sounds from the notifications in the night time mode...it turns off the light, but even though in that option I have it set to do the sound as well, it doesn't do it. I had to go into the sound settings and just turn off the notification sound (which actually didn't help, I had to go into each apps settings and turn it off there).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] souja9:
The Light Flow developer is here on XDA. He's replied in a thread on the app forum. Perhaps your answers lie there:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360090

Personally, I have the paid app and it has been hit and miss for me on ICS... sometimes I can't get the light to go away unless I FC the app. I uninstalled it for now until the niggles get smoothed out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
I was having same problems - light won`t stop flashing even after I checked received sms or missed phone call. Had to uninstall app :( But once its fixed, I will be first to install it - fantastic!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Anyone else know if there's any other app that can configure the lights?

I've bought a few over the years for my other devices but haven't tried any for Galaxy Nexus yet.

I've noticed though in Google Voice, when I get a text, the light is green.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
I used light flow for a bit. but killed at after a day or so. Its still a little buggy in ICS as others have said
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigmike2424:
i had the proble with the light not turning off too. I had to turn off the notification light for no signal and low battery, and its been perfect since then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabberwocky127:
I guess knock on wood, but I have never had a problem with the light staying on with Lightflow paid version.. I feel like if you swipe to dismiss a text message, it will stay on, but if you just open the Messaging app, it will stop blinking. Also, if you use the "x" on the notifications window, it will stop blinking without opening Messaging.

Edit:

With regards to the above post, I have never had the "no signal" light on, but I do have "low battery" and it works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vapotrini:
Strange, my problem is actually the opposite to you guys. With light flow my notifications clear just fine, every time. However, it seems like about half the time it refuses to notify me at all. Drains a bit of battery too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewpmoore:
I'm working on improvements for ICS. There's a few things I'm working on for a release in the next few days.

Firstly, at the moment gtalk just doesn't work correctly for identifying notifications due to changes in the gtalk app. I've pretty much rewritten the notification detection for gtalk now and it seems to be working fine in the test builds.

There's a bug I've fixed where for some people the app won't work after a reboot.

As for swiping away notificatons, that won't clear them. It's really frustrating that the accessibility service is so limited in this regard and won't report anything useful back on what's happened. Because of this, I'm adding a new option to clear notifications additionally when you pull down the notification bar as this is something I've managed to hook into. Therefore it'll clear when you either open the app, or pull the notification bar down (but will then be off even if you don't actually view the notification)

I've had a few crash reports (thanks to those who send them in) that I've been trying to fix also, but some of these can take a few iterations to completely stop.

As for battery use, after the next market release adding the above, I'm going to try and add a new feature to just display the most recent notification that's come in. Although it wouldn't be my personal choice, it'll use less battery than the notifications where it's changing in succession around all the notification colors.

---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

As for the sounds not stopping, have you set the native app to "silent" for it's notifications. Just want to see if it could actually be the main app that's triggering the sound.

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

The paid version of the app also supports google voice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agreenbhm:
I'm having a really bad issue where once the screen is off, I can't get it to turn back on. The only way to get it on is to reboot the phone via ADB. Then, once I turn it off, it stays off again. If I press the power button SOMETIMES it will flash my lock screen for a 10th of a second, but then turn back on. This started when I installed the app. I was able to test the LED colors, and it did that during the test, too. Hopefully it's an easy fix!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
i got this problem too, turn off foreground, uninstall, install, turn off foreground, turn on. You should be good to go then. App is a bit buggy, but better than what google is currently offering us.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agreenbhm:
No dice :(

The good news though is that I can get my phone to work again by entering an ADB shell, entering "su", running a "ps" to list the running processes, then running "kill (proc number here)" to end the process, allowing me to turn my screen back on.

EDIT: Ok, so after killing the process using the method listed above, I re-entered the app, turned the "run in foreground" off, then turned it back on, then rebooted. Phone seems to be ok now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
hmmm i have the app running almost perfectly on my phone right now too...thats what I did...are you rooted running stock 4.0.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cam30era:
You can also pull the battery if you want. There are several of us that have had this issue with light flow. The developer has stated that he is working on a fix. I would suggest removing the app until there is a confirmed solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agreenbhm:
Yes, stock 4.0.2 rooted...for now.

Yea, battery pull works too, but considering how finicky the battery cover of the GN is, plus the case i have, it's easier to adb reboot or kill the process.

See my above edit, though. I seem to have gotten it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaydenR:
Guessing root is needed for this to work? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agreenbhm:
Yup, that's correct.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaydenR:
Was wondering why it wouldn't work for me. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artemis92:
Its working fine for me, and im not rooted yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agreenbhm:
I stand corrected; app description says root is not needed. I was thinking of another app I saw that does similar functions that requires root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pookguy88:
yeah you don't need root for this app, I'm not rooted and it works for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaydenR:
Thanks guys. Last question, I promise. :p

It seems that each app has ringtone and vibrate options in light flow. Do these override the ones set on the apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agreenbhm:
I can say that if "ringtone" is not selected within Light Flow that it doesn't disable the app's ringtone, if you've selected one. That's as far as I've looked into it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Black Mirror:
I haven't touched those - I chose all the options in the individual apps, and they haven't changed since getting Light Flow. I should say the app's been working great 99% of the time for me, and the developer has been fantastic in regards to replying to queries and problems (even when it's an oversight on my part). Any.DO notification light coming in the next release!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grant H:
what pisses me off about light flow is that it does not auto start on reboot. every time you shut down or restart a person has to run the light flow app in order for it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] titmusa:
I have been using Liteflow with only a couple of these problems; it has locked up a couple of times but i do note that sometimes it will flash twice for the same thing, such as email, before moving onto another notification - is this normal?

Is there a workaround for having the notification light on when the screen is on? Useful for in the car or llugged in on the desk.

Andrew
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iconicpaul:
I think a better idea would have been if the LED was positioned on the side of the phone.

For many years i kept all of my phones upside down in order to protect the screen in case something is droped on the phone by accident.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fascinate:
This helped alot. Thanks!

Also to add, you can still have the setting "notify in the system bar" enabled. It seems like LF doesn't like when the sound/vibrate setting are overwritten by the other apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
Light flow works much better after the latest update.. Opening the status bar now turns off notification light.

Sent from my Yakju Googletron
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grant H:
Just figured this out myself as notifications were not being displayed in the bar.

They are now.

As you said and I concur, LF doesn't like ring/vibrate enabled in other settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blue duck butter:
LED works, kinda.

I just got my Verizon Nexus yesterday and the LED only lights up prismatic, kinda white, kinda rainbow colored (I'm assuming this is all 3 colors illuminating at once). It doesn't matter what kind of notification it is, it will still be white-ish. I installed Light Flow and have verified that my LED is actually capable of all colors, individually, however, does this mean my Nexus does not work properly on it's own? I will want to be taking it back for a new one if this is the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PhilDX:
your Nexus is fine, you need a third party app like LightFlow to force specific LED colors (i.e., red, blue, etc)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
It's just that (I'm pretty sure) for most of the core Android apps, the notifications that light up the LED all default to white.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blue duck butter:
Thank you both for the quick replies. This is my first Android device (coming from webOS). So is it just that most, if not all, Android core apps are only provisioned to light the LED as white because the Galaxy Nexus is the first with a mulit colored LED? Or have there been others before it and it just has not been utilized?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snylter:
I experienced the same problem after installing Light Flow the first time.

I then gave it root access, and I set it to control the led (s6e8aa0 control).

I uninstalled the app, and later installed it again without root and this control setting.. It works just fine now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcrawl:
I was having this issue as well, and tried the recommended fixes (disabling then enabling run in foreground). What I found to work is if I deny root access then I never have the issue of the screen flashing on for only a brief second. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nessthiss:
Is this in the update from December 17? I'm asking because I just had a gTalk conversation that didn't clear the notification light when I opened the notification and didn't go to the conversation.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] |mpulse:
I've been using Light Flow for about a week now and really like it, it's working as expected and appears to be pretty reliable! :)

Question... Is there an option I'm missing (or perhaps this in the works?) where I can have the light flash/on even when the screen is on? I asked because sometimes when I'm playing full screen games and a notification comes in I miss it because Light Flow only (appears) to work when the screen is off.

Thanks again for the development of this app, I love it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fyrhtu:
Love it... when it works. >.<

I'm loving light flow; when it works. I'm seeing an odd issue where it will work fine for a while, and then it'll suddenly switch to the "white" constant notification. At first I thought it was the "sleep" function (since the first time it happened was when the sleep time was supposed to start,) but turning that option off didn't fix it- nor did disabling/re-enabling the app, or disabling/reenabling the accessibility service.

I've since found that rebooting the phone does the trick... but not very reliably. Sometimes it'll work fine, sometimes it'll come right back up with the white LED.

I've tried foreground/not foreground, Direct mode and normal... any fixes out there, or is this something I should be submitting to the dev?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alpha Axl:
Weird...I haven't used LightFlow at all, yet whenever I get a text (Google Voice) my light is green and with Facebook notifs it's blue. Haven't tried anything else though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deekjx:
I can confirm this behavior. Very few apps have colored notifications by default.

I am not going to load the light flow app because it needs access to everything. I understand why, but I can't personally over look the security risks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raing:
As described by others in the thread, I too have had the problem with the light flashing even when there are no notifications present. The way I am able to get the light to shut off is to turn the screen on, open lightflow, and then turn the screen off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grant H:
I was wrong. Lightflow is not working perfectly as previously stated. It still has some bugs but is getting better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bisquick24:
I have lightflow and love it. I do have a problem with the light still flashing after checking my yahoo e-mail. But since I hate old notifications in my bar I always clear them when they come up. So I set light flow to manual and now I have a livable solution. I just hated stock because the light would pulse too slowly for missed phone calls, with Lightflow, now it's perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bagl0312:
Foreground option

Hello,

I just installed lightflow on my Galaxy Nexus, and I am not sure if checking the "run in foreground" option is really needed

Does somebody have any hint?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fyrhtu:
If you don't have Run in Foreground checked, it's possible that the automatic memory clearing feature in Android will close down Lightflow, causing it to "randomly" stop working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnKuczek:
Gmail Labels?

Does anyone have notifications set up for their Gmail in which they want a label to respond differently than the rest of the messages? I have one contact whom I want to receive vibrate and tones, so I set them up as a label with seperate notifications in the Gmail app, but I dont know if Light Flow will override?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IronFox:
I just wish there was a pulse setting in light flow instead of blink.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidmack:
I've been running craigacgomez's 4.0.4 + Franco Kernel Milestone 2 and Light Flow w/ no problems, but the LED recently stopped working. I very strongly suspect a hardware problem; it started with the green light not turning off, only to go off when the mini USB was plugged in to charge. Now the (green) light will stutter a bit when the charger is in and is wiggled or manipulated, but the LED is otherwise completely dead.

Uninstalling and reinstalling Light Flow did nothing; nor did restoring from a nandroid backup a couple of weeks old (when there was no problem). The LF widget reports that the app recognizes the phone's state for displaying colors correctly.

Any thoughts regarding how difficult this would be to repair; or if there are any diagnostics to indeed confirm hardware failure? I'm a relative noob, haven't used adb yet.

thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antikryst:
has anyone found a workaround for this yet? light flow was working perfectly for me yesterday... but i decided to flash to yakju completely stock with locked bootloader and all... when i did flash to yakju (came from a HK build).. thats when i started experiencing problems.

i remember light flow working perfectly on my nexus one before... then sometimes it would be wonky then start to work right again.

weeeeird.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
the 4.0.4 update did some tweaking with the display of the GNex so some programs like Screen off/on had some issues. I too had no issues with 4.0.2 but with the 4.0.4 update, i noticed that Lightflow would tend to have some issues. I have communicated with the developer who mentioned having a GNex too but can't replicate the issue i'm having. My issue is that when the device is newly turned on, notification for sms would not work. it'll flash for a few then blank. after opening the app, and receiving again, it would work. Also noticed that if a lot of programs have been used, the problem happens again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inorde:
I went back to stock Google today as well (IMM76I), and Lightflow won't work for me. No Gmail notifications at all. No matter what I try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
Been a Light Flow user for months - love it.

Just as a reference, it has worked perfectly with 4.0.2 and now with 4.0.4. So, I am not sure that any issues you are finding when running stock are universal issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Puck24:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I was wondering if there is an app or a setting within light flow that can make the led flash fast and multicolor like the blackberry??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
When you enter the settings and choose a notification, there's an option for led flash rate which lets you choose how fast the led blinking will be. On the multi color, I think it's just one color per app that you enable

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinkdrain:
I love light flow always have even back on my n1.

Big bug is killing me though! when lightflow is enabled somehow it switches on Android s talkback function. When I open google books and click on a book it starts reading aloud. If you disable lightflow from accessibility books will not read aloud.

Go ahead and try opening a google book and see what I mean. Very annoying.

It works well for me. The only issue I have noticed is that it doesn't display the LED notifications properly when I have the phone plugged into the wall. I went ahead and bought the full version, and I couldn't be happier with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinkdrain:
Same here...I thought I was going crazy because the light wouldn't go on for a notification but then it would work fine after I test it. It's almost like the phone sometimes doesn't wake properly at first.

Eventually the developer worked out every last bug on the n1 so I'm confident these things will be ironed out soon on the gn.
