I have managed to get Light Manager working on my S7 Edge, although not flawlessly. I do have the workaround enabled, but I found it does nothing for me.

It appears that several applications (SMS, Gmail, etc.) trigger a System Message notification (a blue LED). This overrides any notification that Light Manager / Light Flow spawns. It is not until that System Message notification is dismissed that the Light Manager / Light Flow notifications take effect. To dismiss the System Notification, just turn on the screen. You can then put the phone back in standby and your Light Manager LEDs should start blinking. To automate this, I have enabled "Wake Screen" in Light Manager. This automatically dismisses the System Notification, and when the phone goes back into standby 5 seconds later, the LEDs start blinking as configured.

Ideally, if the developers can find a way to automatically dismiss that System Notification without turning the screen on and implement that into their apps, this would solve the issue permanently.

Try it and let me know if your results are the same.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Howards:
I'm sorry but I don't follow. What do you mean with "just turn on the screen"? After doing what?

Plus, I don't see any "wake screen" option in Lightmanager. Can you explain better please?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] spokes:
When I say turn on the screen, I mean hit the Power button on the side to wake the device (and display the Lock Screen). This will dismiss the blue LED (system generated notification). This is just to test my method. If it works, then you can find the Wake Screen option here:

Advanced Settings --> Wake Screen
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Howards:
Ok, my bad, I'm new to the community, you probably were answering to another thread and not to me. I don't have problem dismissing the blue LED, I just want to customize the LED notifications.

Anyway, I double checked and there is no "Wake Screen" option in Advanced Setting on my Light Manager app. (Again, I'm using a Huawei P8 lite)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
From the feedback from P8 lite users, too bad that I think Light Manager is not compatible with your device.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] fastjohnson:
Root, install cataclysm it works awesome Super stable and with many more features, these apps in the playstore are mostly garbage.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MattyDip:
Thanks for the update but on my Galaxy S7 Edge Light Manager isn't working properly also after this update. The first blinking of the LED is wrong. I set cyan colour for the stock email app and the first blinking is green. For SMS I'm using blue colour and the first blinking is red and the second is purple...

The first blinking of Whatsapp is green (and this is correct). Telegram red but should be blue.

The speed of the first blinking is the same as the others.

Normal mode with fix for 5.1.1 selected. Something is wrong
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] hauhauhau7:
did you disable the in-app led notification for every app you want to use? also, you have MM 6.0.1, so the 5.1.1 fix is not for your device, i have a Galaxy S6 with MM and everything is working perfect :) try alternating mode :)

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

read a few posts back, the P8 lite may not be compatible with Light manager
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MattyDip:
Thanks but I have the same problem also if I uncheck the fix. Previously I had a Galaxy S6 like yours and everything was working properly.

Hi,

I'm using your app on my nexus 5x for show charging state only... but... when in charging the correct color led use a fade in and fade out(correct or bug?... any possibility to disable fade and use only the led ON?)....

then in the first minute when I turn off the display it automatically turn on it 3 or 4 times and i can see the lock screen for a 3-4 sec... correct or bug?

thank you
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MattyDip:
Yes. Same problem for every other notification. The first blinking of the email app for example is green and the flowing one are cyano (as I decided).

I tried every possible combination of settings but the problem is still there.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
These are the behavior on Nexus 5X. The LED notification will fade in and out for every 8 seconds. Perhaps this is to prevent the LED hardware from over heating or burning. The ambient display that will be turned on for 4 times is also expected since everytime a charging LED is being generated, it will trigger the ambient display for 4 times.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
If you disable email LED in Light manager app, did you get any LED notification? Did you still get the first green LED?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MattyDip:
Thanks for your help. No nothing changed. First blinking of Telegram and also stock messages app is red.

I tried on another Galaxy S7 and there is the same problem.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] njm5785:
More Features

I love the app and it works well. I just wish it had a couple more features.

Flash Type - Single Blink, Double Blink, Triple Blink, etc

This could work with Flash Rate. e.g. If the Flash Rate was 2 seconds and the Flash Type was double blink then the light would double blink every 2 seconds​

You could even get fancy and do pattern types. e.g. Fast Long Fast​

I use to have an app that had a flash type way back on my HTC G1 but I haven't had a phone that had a LED notification light since. Until now with my Nexus 5x​

Notification Length - Length of time the notification light would display for that app.

Similar to the Auto cancel per notification setting but would let you set it different per app (sms, mms, gmail, etc)​
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Nothing changed? Since you have disabled email LED in Light Manager, it should not generate any LED notification. Who is generating it?

Do you have any other LED controlling app installed?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Thanks for your suggestion.

Your suggestions will be taken into consideration.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Micha_he:
Maybe an additional color change option ?

E.g.:

Main-color (first) green for all mails/messages,

--> green with transition to blue for WA

--> green with transition to red for Mails

--> and so on...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MattyDip:
No, the problem with the first blinking for all apps is still there also if I disable the led for the email app.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] PB13041:
GMail notifications no longer work after 9.3 update.

Hi,

GMail notifications through Light Manager no longer work in "Normal Mode" on LG G3 Verizon VS985, Android 4.4.2.

The change happened after the upgrade to 9.3 version.

GMail displays only original system notifications with one green blink every 10+ seconds.

Checking and unchecking notifications by account had no effect at all.

So, is there a way to revert to a version prior of 9.3?

Also, 2nd question: Is there a way to make Light Manager work with Verizon's Visual Voicemail app?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Does the problem happen also when you use the testing function in Light Manager to generate LED light?

You said you tried on another Galaxy S7. You mean the normal S7 or S7 edge?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
There is code changes in version 9.3 of Light Manager. You have to reconfigure your LED settings in Light Manager | Gmail.

If you are using Priority inbox in GMail app, you need to enable "Use Priority Inbox" in Light Manager | Gmail | Your account.

If you have enabled notification for some gmail labels in GMail app, you have to enable the same labels in Light Manager | Gmail | Your account as well.

You can click "Add an application" to add Verizon's Visual Voicemail app, see if it works? It might only work in alternating mode.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] PB13041:
I do not use Priority Inbox or any Categories or Labels, just plain Default Inbox with its default Primary category.

No matter what settings I change, only LG's default LED notification comes through.

As for Verizon's Visual Voicemail, it does not appear in the list of apps that can be added. I can see it as an app in Task Manager, but not in Light Manager list. :confused:

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] robsonr:
Thank you for great application.

A quick question. In the pull down menu I have always notification "Tap to configure app notification and icon". I have configured it many times, but notification remains there. Is this a normal behavior?

I run Crisscross custom ROM v12 with Vindicator UNI R5 kernel.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Make sure you have enabled the gmail account in Light Manager | Gmail | <Your gmail account> in notification by account.

I think Verizon's visual voicemail does not appear due to it is a system app.

Could you please let me know what is the package name of Verizon's visual voicemail?

Example of package name for T-Mobile visual voicemail is com.tmobile.vvm.application.

I will allow it to appear in the list of apps.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
You can remove it by selecting "Do not show app notification and icon".
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] PB13041:
I enabled GMail account in Light Manager, but it still does not work.

Verizon's Visual Voicemail package name is com.lge.vvm.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MattyDip:
I tried with a Galaxy S7 (not Edge).

When I use the testing version first blinking is wrong.

It seems that it is a bug of the phone because if I set green or red for the notification then the first and the other blinking are right but if I choose another colour then happens what I described in my previous posts.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Ok, I have identified the Gmail bug in Light Manager. It will be fixed on the next release.

For the Verizon's visual voicemail, I will allow it to be displayed in the app list on the next release as well.

By the way, by looking at the package name, it is more like a LG's visual voicemail than the Verizon's visual voicemail, right?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
The same things happen no matter you use alternating mode or normal mode?

If it happens on normal mode as well, then I think this is the behavior of the device.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MattyDip:
Yes with both
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] robertogl:
I've a problem: Moto G 2014 has only one white led. Using light manager I can set the flash rate, but if I set 'none' the led doesn't even turn on. I'm using light manager also on my Galaxy s4 without problems, great app ;)

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Moto G has only white color LED. This is the hardware limitation.

For the "none" flash rate, perhaps could you try go into Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Static LED and select "Option 2" or "Option 3" see if it works?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] robertogl:
Thanks! With option 1 it works (I was using option 2).

Inviato dal mio GT-I9505 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] PB13041:
Awesome, Thanks!

I think that, it's a Verizon's VVM app specific to LG phones. It displays Verizon logo (if that means anything at all :)). May be a hardware-specific app, similar to Verizon's VVM for Motorola on Google Play.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] chopst1ck:
I have a quick question about alternative mode. Does the flash rate of each individual app notification affect the interval of change setting for alternating LED?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
If flash rate of each individual app is longer than interval of change, then it does not affect.

Interval of change is the change of LED color for multiple LED notifications.

Flash rate of each individual app is the flash rate for single LED notification or before the change of LED color for multiple LED notifications.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] chopst1ck:
Thanks, appreciate the clarification. By the way, your app is amazing and keep up the good work. I just upgraded to pro.

Hi mckoo.

Thank you for an awesome app!

I have been using this app for most of my phones which includes Zopo and Samsung and i loved it.

I have recently switched to a Xiaomi Redmi 2 Pro / Prime, and i cant get the "Battery charging indication to function in your app. Somehow it seems that the ROM is still controlling the Battery Charging indication and also the flash rate of the notifications.

Is there any help that you can assist with ?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Are you able to disable battery charging in your ROM's system settings?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Dagegen_ZA:
Thnx for the reply.

Unfortunately there are a few setting that the ROM controls and that i can set but the battery charging is not one of them ;(

I have found another app to control the LED notifications that run all the commands as ROOT but i dont like the lay-out of the app so i am trying to stick to your app.

Thnx in advance.

Alternating Colors

Hey,

I want to have each blink in a new color and a blink every 2 seconds, half a second long. What is the setting I need?

I just can't figure it out, sometimes it changes every few blinks, sometimes randomly...

Im very confused about the time settings, sorry.

Thank you for your help!

Cheers, Loeblich
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Then I guess Light Manager is not able to override the system battery charging LED.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Just set the flash rate to 2 seconds.

What device are you using?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Loeblich:
Hello,

thank you for your fast reply!

I'm using a Xperia Z1 Compact.

If I just set the flash rate to 2 seconds, in Alternating Mode, I'm getting a flash every 2 seconds, but it does not change the color every flash. The color changes every 3 or 4 flashs. I'd like to have it changing every flash. How can I fix this?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] amir77a:
HI,

Thanks for a useful app.

I'm using i9300.

Gmail LED notification is set to "disable" LED light.

Even so I'm getting blue LED notifications for Gmail.

Can this be corrected?

Thanks,

Amir.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Thanks for reporting.

I noticed that also. Currently no signal notification will turn on while totally no signal or when there is no mobile data network (When there is only GSM voice network is available).
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
The blue LED notification is generated from Gmail itself. To get rid of it, you need to disable the Email notification in setting page of Gmail.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mario06:
I think that the no signal led should turn on when there's absolutely no signal whatsoever.

I still wish to get enveolpe Gmail notification icon, but not the LED itself.

In the app there is a notofication LED setup.

How can I configure the device, to show the envelope, but no LED notification at all?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
There is no way of doing this AFAIK.

However there is a workaround method. In Light Manager, you can set Gmail LED notification to custom color and set to 000000 which is black color. It will look like it is not turning on the LED, however it is actually occupying the LED operation.

Works so much better than Light Flow on my i9300 ! I just want to know if it wiil be possible to allow us to enable/disable the LED turn off when opening the notification bar ? I want my LED to stay on after opening it ^^

Edit : Finally, I got 2 problems :

When I'm on "Messaging" application and I lock the phone (with "Messaging" directly opened), the default LED is working (blue every 5 seconds) instead of the green one every seconds that I set in Light Manager. When I go to "Messaging" and touch the home button (so it leaves the application opened), it works perfectly, like all the time.

The same thing is happening with Gmail too.

Recap :

- Launch "Messaging" / "Gmail"

- Lock your phone

- Get a message / mail

You'll see the Samsung's default LED (blue every 5 seconds) instead of the one you set on Light Manager

Is it possible to correct this ? It's not really annoying but I sometimes leave the "Messaging" application directly opened when I'm messaging for hours and I don't really like to see things not working like I want ^^'

If I'm not clear, ask me, I'll try to explain as best as I can (I'm french, so if my sentences have no meaning, here is the reason ^^ !)

Hi! Is this app working without problem on Galaxy S7 Edge?

Same here, first blink always red no matter what app I use. I read a topic about that and apparently the users says it is normal. At this point my question is: have I to disable led in apps settings even if i don't active those apps in Light Manager? Does the workaround for 5. 1.1. working fine on last MM build? I just want to set the led up once and for all.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
May I know what Android OS version are you using?

If you are using Android 5.0 or below, just go to Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Interval of Change and set it to 2 seconds as well. It will alternate the LED color every 2 seconds when multiple notifications are received.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I found out that this might be the behavior of S7 edge.

Anyway I will look into the problem.

it's Android 5.1.1, and I've tried it your way without success.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
From Android 5.1 and onwards, "Interval Of Change" settings might not work on certain devices due to some limitation implemented by Google to reduce battery consumption.

Hi,

this works stock rom 5.1.1 root samsung galaxy s6 edge?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I tested it on S7 Edge and I think it cannot be fixed. Probably it is a firmware bug or it is designed to do so by the manufacturer.

I will see if it can be fix with root.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Light Manager is partially compatible with s6 edge.

You have to enable "Enable 5.1.1 Workaround" in Light Manager.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] turtuv:
With root it can be fixed, there are some apps that eliminate that red blink. I read something in a thread.

Have I to enable the workaround too? What does it exactly?

Sended from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
The workaround will cancel the original LED notification (default blue) and regenerate a new notification with the correct LED notification set in Light Manager. However this method has some side effects since the notification is being recreated by Light Manager.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] turtuv:
What side effects? And is this workaround necessary for Android 6.0?

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Mystique5022:

How exactly would rooting fix this? Or would more development be required to compensate?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
You might get duplicate vibration and duplicate notification on notification drawer.

The recreated notification is not expandable and it might stick in the notification drawer until you manually swipe it off.

How do you configured it? It is necessary to check the "5.1. Workaround" option? S7 Edge here too.
