Please let me know if android logger is enabled by default? If yes, then android logger is not relevant in this case.

Else if android logger is disabled, light manager will not be able to detect an Email notification.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] AndreiLux:
....

Yes, else I wouldn't be saying it's irrelevant.

Whatever, I'll just intercept the sysfs entries at the kernel level and figure it out myself then.

I've Yahoo Mail installed and now when I get an email a Purple light pops up at every second. Under Light Manger I don't see Yahoo Mail listed. So what can I do to disable this notification?

I'm on Omega ROM btw

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
The Purple light that pops up every second seems to be generated by Yahoo Mail app. To disable it you may see if there is any settings in Yahoo Mail app that can disable notification LED. If no, you can disable it by doing the following:

1) Open Light Manager

2) Change operating mode to alternating mode (Now light manager is fully taken over control of the notification LED)

3) Test and see if you still get the purple light
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] :
Is android logger needed for this app? I have disabled it in the custom kernel I'm using, I hope it won't mess with light manager! Great app!!

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Android logger is only needed to detect notification for 3rd party apps. If you are not using any, you may let it disabled.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] :
WhatsApp is considered a third party app I guess. So it is needed? With logger disabled everything works, only sometimes I think I miss some WhatsApp notifications

Galaxy Note II - Alliance Rom
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] jujuburi:
Did that pal, no effect. Even I've added Yahoo mail under Light Manager application, and changed the settings, but it still shows the Purple coloured notification and the time gap is just 1 second. I've checked Yahoo mail app settings, and there is only option to uncheck the 'show on status bar' option, which will obviously disable the new email notification.

So could you possibly give me some idea? Or anyone using Yahoo mail having the same issue kindly share your experience here if you've found any solution.

I have a Galaxy S3 (i9300) with stock ROM (XXEMC2) and Root.. I set the app to change the Facebook Messenger to Orange, and it does not change anything.. the messenger notification remains green.. I restarted the S3, but the original color (green) remains.

Do I have to configure anything else ?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Yes, android logger is needed for WhatsApp. But I don't know why it is working for you without android logger. Are you sure the WhatsApp notification LED is generated by Light Manager? Or by WhatsApp itself?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
In Light Manager, check and see if you have enabled "No 3G/4G" notification LED. The 1 second purple flashing LED seems to be generated by that by default.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Did you get a prompt to grant root permission to light manager when you enable facebook messenger notification LED?

After you have grant root permission, remember to click "Restart Light Manager" for the changes to take effect.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] :
Well i have android logger disabled in red pill kernel using stweaks. WhatsApp led is working without any issues since a few days, I think the erratic behaviour I noticed was because of WhatsApp itself since I have updated it a couple of days ago and haven't had any issue since then... I don't know which app is ruling my led, but it blinks at the color and time I set up, so far so good for me!!

Edit: ok i checked and I had indeed blue led enabled in WhatsApp. So, to make things right, I should enable logger and then disable led in every app I have, and enable it in light manager in standard mode? (don't want to waste battery with alternate mode)

Thanks a lot!

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] GonDr:
mckoo, can u please add more slots for apps and add other apps like skype, tango, yahoo, etc ?

thank u very much for ur work.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Yes, for standard mode in Light Manager, you need to disable notification LED in whatsapp settings so that Light Manager can take over control of it. By right, you should enable android logger as well for it to work.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:

How to add an application without using Alternative mode? I am using Aqua Mail for emails now, and I don't see it listed. And Alternative mode drains more juice, so what to do?

Just to test, I installed Light Flow Lite, and I see that all the installed apps are listed! But it's the most complicated app I've ever seen.

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] GonDr:
I love this app, thank you very much.

can i ask why removed GPS ?

and after update whatsapp to latest version led for whatsapp not working.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] m666p:
any way to enable led when screen is on...???

Note 2(GT-7100)

Rom = Omega latest

(Apex@onyx black,Wallpaper@galaxy pack)

Kernel = Perseus latest

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
You mean aqua mail is not listed when you are trying to add a 3rd party app into the notification list of Light Manager? Can see check whether your aqua mail is installed as data app or system app. Only if it is installed as system app, it won't be listed in Light Manager.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
A received a lot of complaints about the GPS permission. As a result, I decided to remove it.

Try uninstall and reinstall Light Manager to see if whatsapp is working again? Remember to click "Restart Light Manager" after you have granted root permission.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
It is not impossible just that I guess i'm not going to implement this since it requires root.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] jujuburi:
It's installed as data/app. I mean I can add it, but I had to enable 'Alternating mode', is there any way to add it without enabling 'Alternating mode'? Doesn't alternating mode drain more juice than normal mode?

'Swyped' from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
No way because of the LED operating method. Alternating mode does drain more juice compared to normal mode. However you can try on it to see if it is acceptable for you. For me its battery usage is always less than 5%.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] TatesMan:
Can u please add a native support for viber to be used in normal mode? It is as popular as whatsapp

I knew that viber is a very popular app but sorry to tell that due to some technical issue, I could not put this in normal mode.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] ginno:
Hi I really love the app but the thing is you cannot add another app so you can place a led notification.. i mean like me i really love to use viber and i want to place a notification color when there is a message..
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
You need to change the operating mode to alternating mode then only you are allowed to add a 3rd party application such as viber. From there you can change the notification color for viber provided that your phone is rooted and if you are using custom kernel, please make sure the android logger is enabled.

That's just what i need..thank you!

Hi

How do you handle translations? Do you have any script to export it to string file or do you do all by yourself?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
10. What are differences between Normal Mode and Alternating Mode?

Normal Mode:

- Only LED color for the first notification will be flashing

- Light Manager will not fully take over control of LED. Therefore LED notification for other app will still function as usual

- Consume less battery

- Auto cancel of notification LED is not available

- Adding other 3rd party app is not available

- Will not cause wakelock

Alternating Mode:

- A few LED colors will be flashing alternately when multiple notifications are received

- Light Manager will fully take over control of the LED. Therefore other 3rd party app which is not supported by Light Manager will not be able to generate its notification LED

- Consume higher battery

- Auto cancel of notification LED is available

- There are 3 slots for you to add any of your 3rd party app

- Might cause wakelock
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Are you using stock firmware with stock kernel? Also you might need to uninstall other LED controlling app in your device.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] SandeepEmekar:
When I'd tried "Light Flow" application I had found that it prevents phone from going into deep sleep when a notification comes.

Samsung's default notification works along with deep sleep. :)
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
In Light Manager application, if you are using "Normal Mode", it works along with deep sleep since it does not use wakelock. However "Alternating Mode" will use wakelock when the notification LED light up. Once the notification light is cancelled, it should work along with deep sleep again.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] SandeepEmekar:
Thanks.

I'm trying it out now. :D
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] SandeepEmekar:
Supercool App!

I prefer the Normal mode. :D
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] gabster21:
Yes, all stock rooted. I have no other LED controlling apps besides the internal apps themselves (whatsapp, facebook, etc..)

EDIT: Ok, restarted my device and it works now! (should have done that in the first place).. However white/yellow colors are not accurate in the tests, white shows up as light blue and yellow as light green. Is this normal for the Note 2?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Someone reported before that some colors on Note 2 are a bit off. Perhaps someone here can confirm on it. I don't have a Note 2 to test.:rolleyes:

Alternatively you may adjust the LED color to your preference by setting the hex color code in Advanced Setting > LED Color Mapping.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] quertiy:
Our red led is fracked up. It's dimmer than the rest. Pink is more blue. To get a true pink you have to set red at 90% and blue at 10%. It's driving me crazy. Any colour that uses red is fracked up. Yellow, orange, pink, white. Samsung are a bunch of retards. The led on the SIII is perfect. Damn morons.

They thought to themselves: we are using blue and green for the shutdown thing so make them bright. And the red led… we were making it dimmed anyhow when the battery was low, so **** it, get a dimmer one in there, we were not using it's full potential anyhow. **** those retards that root their phone and use lightflow or cyanogenmod.

I am so frustrated by this, I can't even begin to describe it.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] jujuburi:
The Red color on my end is perfectly fine, I mean enough bright for me. Same goes with Green and Blue. I haven't seen a S3, but what could be more bright? But other colours don't come out well, with apps like Light Flow or this one? I haven't tried this one yet, so won't say.

I cant confirm this, i have white Note 2 and Red S3, althought led is more noticable on S3, (that is because there isn't transparent white buffer ontop of led) they produces same colors, nothing difference.

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Please see the FAQ.

16. How is the battery consumption of Light Manager? I am concerning on battery life, how do I get battery consumption as minimum as possible.

It depends on the settings in Light Manager. If you use “Normal Mode” with no 3rd party apps notification LED enabled, battery consumption will be the lowest possible. Battery consumption test had been done with Samsung Galaxy SIIII, it is around 0.1%~0.2% with the above settings.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
updated to v3.3

- Added FAQ link

- Maintain stability while notification icon is not shown

- Fixed battery drain when android logger is disabled on custom kernel

- Fixed compatibility with Gmail 4.2

- GTalk does not need ROOT anymore

- Fixed background service is not restarted automatically after user has updated Light Manager

- Totally cancel LED notification during Sleeping Time for Alternating Mode

- Fixed misscall notification LED still functioning when Light Manager has disabled

- Change orange color from FF9200 to FF3300

- Fixed default LED will appear after getting out of Sleeping Time

- Added some missing translation text for Croatian, Danish, Portuguese, Slovenian, Spanish, German, Hungarian, Turkish

Can someone help me in testing whether Email notification LED (not Gmail) is working in Samsung Galaxy Note II in both Normal Mode and Alternating Mode?

If you are updating from previous version, try the following:

7. Why there is false notification or something weird happened on my device? False notification happened randomly but I did not get any notification message in notification bar.

Try restarting your device. If the problem still persists, try uninstall and reinstall Light Manager. Remember to clear cache and data while uninstalling.

Hello,

I've downloaded your application for my note running Paranoid Android (Utacka-2012-11-18) and it doesn't work at all unfortunately.

It says that it should work and cyanogenmod based rom, but nothing show up on mine.

I tried to reinstall the app as you say in the FAQ, but nothing change, I've also tried to change mode... but always the same.

Do you think that the kernel might be the problem ? I'm using N.E.A.K. Kernel. 1.0.x

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
"It says that it should work and cyanogenmod based rom"

Where did u see the statement as shown above?

Some people reported that it does not work on cyanogenmod based rom. I guess it won't work as well due to the lack of LED driver. Anyway I never tested it, just my guessing.

Please let me know if someone managed to run Light Manager successfully on cyanogenmod based rom.;)

Notification LED wrong and dim colours

Concerning the wrong colours being displayed on the Grey Galaxy note 2: Its the same on both grey note 2 and grey S3 as i had both. On blue,black,red and white S3's there is a kind of cut out for the notification LED (not so visible on the white S3) there for allowing it to be brighter and display the correct colours. Unfortunately for those of us who own grey phones (note 2 and S3) there is NO cut out so the LED is under a thin layer of grey therefore altering the colours slightly and make is a little less dim.

Before i installed a custom rom (criskelo), NEAK kernel and Light manager my led was very dim when it was on charge (red colour) and in general dimmer then my mates grey note for some reason but now with the above mention mods (rom,kernel and light manager) they are much brighter but still not displaying the correct colours expect RED,GREEN and BLUE.

I hope this sheds some LIGHT on the situation. I went through 2 grey S3's and 3 grey Note 2's to realise the above also my wife owns a black S3 so i have researched the matter a lot.......

Question: For apps like Whatsapp which offer two different lights for normal conversations vs group conversations, will this app just override those with one light set by the app?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
Working great for me with Omega & NEAK! Such a cool app :)

Edit: Turns out for me colours only seems to work in test mode... got my first gmail email since installing and LED was normal colour, not purple as I had chosen :(
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
It sounds more like the LED hardware issue on grey devices which causes incorrect LED color since they should run the same software /firmware not matter what color is the device.

Does the color run off seriously? If set #00FF00 (Green), will it totally become another color (e.g. blue)? Or just maybe become yellow-green?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Yes, only one LED color for any whatsapp message received.

Since the last update v3.3, light Manager had been using up crazy amounts of Wakelock time. Like 40 minutes in 2h. Almost 70% of my device awake time when the screen is off.

What could be causing this? The previous version used maybe 6% Wakelock time at most in BetterBatteryStats.

This is on a stock rooted note 2.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I will put chaton on the app list on next update.

By the way, thanks for the polish translation correction.:good:
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I have increased the wakelock time on v3.3 to solve LED blinking does not blink smoothly especially on Alternating Mode.

I have also found out that increasing amount of wakelock time does not really drain much battery. For example, increasing wakelock time from 6% to 70% maybe will just increase battery consumption by 0.5%.

Did you find battery consumption of Light Manager increase a lot?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] EP2008:
Yes. As a matter of fact, it's the first time I've seen it listed on the Android battery usage list.

Would changing the blink mode to normal help with this?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Yes, wakelock time only happens in Alternating Mode.

I guess I might need to make a setting to let user select whether they want battery saving or stable LED blinking. It is some kind of tradeoff.
