Try add the lightflow debug widget and standard widget. One will show the current colors the app will cycle through, the other will list the notifications that the app thinks are on.

E-mail me via the contact us option on our website if you are still having problems after checking out this data (www.rageconsulting.com/lightflow)

Try go into your phone settings, accessibility and switch off and back on lightflow as both of those notification use the accessibility service to be monitored for.

Tweakdeck is actually supported under the tweetdeck notification as it's just a slight modification of that app.

I'll try and test that out.

You may find that an uninstall, reboot and install fixed that. You'll see other people are not reporting a weird lag (and I'm sure they would if they were), so whatever is causing that may be causing the battery drain. Occasionally I've known people have this issue with any accessibility service app enabled. Usually a factory reset has then fixed it for them.

Actually, I notice it happening with Gmail too. It seems all notifications where "Sound allowed when screen on" is unchecked still sound when the screen is on.

Love the app and all of the light settings are working perfectly, but I have noticed that killing vibrations hasn't worked for Gmail. I want to just set it up for a light-only notification but it doesn't seem to accept the disable.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
That's odd, I've just checked this through myself and I can't get this to not work. As soon as the screen is on and the option in unchecked I don't get the sound. I guess you've got the sound set off in gmail (in the account settings and the label settings)?

If you add the lightflow debug widget does it show "missed is on" or that it's been on?

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you have vibrations enabled in lightflow or in gmail account settings or label settings at all?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] abuzilif:
No, they're turned off everywhere they can be turned off, including in Lightflow and the app

I wiped and flashed Paranoid Android today and installed the newest version of lightflow and I could not restore from a backup I made incl Titanium Backup. Where is it usually stored?

Now I need to do all the settings again. I really hope you can add a global settings soon so all apps share one settings
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] DangKid:
One of my gripes with this app: if you have the "swipe notification shade down, turn off the notification", the notification is turned off if you swipe down the quick settings shade. I don't know if this has been fixed yet or not, but it would be nice if the app was catered for the Nexus since all of the latest Nexus' will run into this problem.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ryan stewart:
You can backup to a file from Lightflow and then it just stores it under sdcard\lightflow. I uploaded that file to Google Drive and when I flash the phone I can just download it, move it to that folder and then choose restore from within Lightflow and that file is listed as an option.

Hi Andrew,

Just FYI that I tried that, as well as rebooting, reconfiguring LighFlow for Tweets and still no go with Carbon. However, I have no problem with it working for TweetCaster so maybe it is just an issue with Carbon?

Though I like Carbon a bit better than TweetCaster, since I have a working solution I guess I'm good but just FYI for something to look into for other users of Carbon (unless I'm the only one who has the issue).

Cheers.

Yes I know, I made a backup but when I wanted to restore after flashing a new rom, it wasnt there

The backup is usually stored in /lightflow directory of your "sdcard" or virtual memory on the nexus 4

Most reports on the play store relate to the s3 (and the bugger usa version at that). With android 4.0 on the s3 there's so many hoops to go through to control the led, it's usually were the problems lay.

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------

If you've flashed did your memory get wiped? After having a phone with an sdcard slot that's one thing I miss. Clear everything, but still have things on the sdcard instead of loosing everything.

I'm having some Lightflow issues after updating to 4.2.2.

If I try and got to the Notifications section it hangs while Initialising identifying apps for about 5 mins, and has stopped working a couple of times.

I've reinstalled and restored the settings, but still the same.

I'll try another reinstall and set it up from scratch later today.

I'm on stock 4.2.2, rooted. Lightflow has SU permissions

Anyone else seeing this?

If I had more time I might consider it! As a "spare time project" I can't even keep up adding the features I want to lightflow (my todo list has at least 100 things on it!)

Is there anyway to trigger a front led notification when the back led flash is on/off?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] parker_dhd:
I've run into a bit of an annoyance - I've got light flow set to flash a white LED when the device is charging, which works fine with the screen off/locked. However when I unlock the 'stock' yellowy/orange charging LED comes on.

Is it possible to turn this off? Would it be a ROM issue?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] steviewevie:
There is no charging LED in the stock ROM, you must be running a custom ROM with something in it to do this, or have some additional app.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] parker_dhd:
I am running a custom ROM (Dark Jelly) - I'll search through and see if there's a setting for the LED.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] eldaveo:
Hi there, first-time poster.

Just wanted to let you know that this app is GREAT! The Nexus 4's built-in LED is rather ignored by default (Facebook of all things tipped me off that the even phone HAD a notification LED), and Light Flow really unlocks the potential of it.

Just one weird issue though. When I've got multiple notifications, Light Flow can't seem to decide which color to display when.

As a test, I've got Bluetooth (blue) and Phone Signal (white) turned on (two permanent notifications). What happens, is once I turn the screen off, it goes something like this:

Blue, blu-WHITE!, blue, blu-WHITE!, etc (although sometimes it's white being interrupted by blue instead).

Basically, it's not cycling properly, with the blue starting to come on a second time in a row, then getting interrupted by the white. Expected behavior is simply blue, white, blue, white.

I've tried playing with the notification method/frequency settings in the settings section, and the LED flash rate in the notification itself, but with no change apart from the expected behavior of those settings. Any tips on how to solve this?

Rooted Nexus 4, stock Android 4.2.2, full version of Light Flow

Thanks!

EDIT: Just to note, it's not always the same pattern. To better explain it, it seems like they're out of phase with each other. Sometimes it looks fine (like right now), sometimes one interrupts the other (like five minutes ago). Seems to vary over time, never staying consistent on the same pattern for more than a few minutes at a time.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
That's true. I'd like to get it blue, white, blue white and technically I could but that would mean every flash off the led I'd need to partially wake the phone to run the code to switch the led off or on. The current method just issues an on/off timing to the led driver via android and therefore only needs to change less frequently. I've found choosing a faster flash rate looks better as the difference between 4 or 5 quicker flashes is much less noticeable. I've one or two ideas in the future I'll probably experiment with this and improving it, but very few phones actually pay any attention to the actual timings sent to the led. e.g. motorola phones ignore it and have a fixed led flash rate. The galaxy nexus has a few speeds but it's not really user customisable (there's probably about 5 different pre-defined speeds which the driver will just pick the nearest speed). It's the same for the S3 and note2.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ben_pyett:

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] dvdy:
My LED doesn't seem to be showing the correct colour occasionally. It doesn't happen often enough for me to spot a pattern but right now it's a fast green blink which is my SMS notification but it should be blue for Facebook. The lightflow widget shows blue and the debugger says it should be facebook so I don't know what's wrong. Anything I can grab to help?

The debugging widget only shows this

Last notification switched off: Last off: 17:52:50505: FACEBOOKMESS

Last notification switched on: Last on: 18:41:32935: FACEBOOKMESS

Depends on how you configure it (color change speed is the main culprit here) and how many notifications you get. For me the impact is negible :)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ben_pyett:
I'd say install and don't worry I've never noticed any impact.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I'm not sure about that one. The only thing I see occasionally is the default slow flashing white light. This can happen if android decides to kill off the background service (for example if you are running some intensive apps). Android will kill the service and reschedule it to start again a few seconds later (I think it's between 2.5 and 5 seconds). If another app raises a notification in this small window of time that uses an LED it's possible for it to take control until the notification bar is pulled down. I don't really use facebook messenger, but I guess by default it doesn't flash green does it?

I'll probably have to add an option in for this. People in the thread were previously wanting the clear option to clear everything except persistent notifications that were still relevant, such as silent, bluetooth, charging and low battery so I made a change recently to reflect that.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
The best thing to do is add the lightflow widgets to a homescreen and then when you get the problem see what notification is listed as on. It could be an app where I need to make a slight adjustment, or it's also possible if you are swiping away notifications but don't have the "pull down notification bar" option checked for that notification type.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] teh_lorax:
Ahhh! That explains it. I've seen that quite a few times. The widget shows no notifications, but if I clear it via the widget the notification goes away.

btw, are there any needed changes for the app for 4.2.2? I've noticed some strange things since updating like calendar alerts not clearing again.

Anyone finding the WhatsApp notification to be a bit irregular? It's like there are 2 flashing same-colour LEDs both timed differently and sometimes clashing. This is even during Test mode so it's not the Whatsapp app causing it. My SMS led in comparison is going at a steady rate.

I have my leds flashing on medium speed. WhatsApp on Blue and SMS on Green, tried another colour for WhatsApp but still saw the same irregular flashing behaviour.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I'm aware of that one. It's still on the todo list.

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

That sounds really odd. The way the color is issued for all apps is the same so when doing a "test" they will all work exactly the same way. What happens if you temporarily set the flash rate to "always on"?

---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

Try using the individual calendars (instead of the reminders for all calendars notification). They should be ok (well, they have been for me and I'm not getting other reports about them)

Would there be a way to make a unique light combo? Like police lights? Loved that on the BB.

Blue, red, blue, red, blue combo really fast.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Not easily, things are a little different in android. Technically it'd be possible (and fairly easy to add), but every time there's a color change requires the phone do come out of deep sleep to run the code using a wake lock. Doing this for a really fast notification would have a significant hit on the battery.

If I get more phones supported with "screen on" led control I might add it for something like incoming phone calls.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] benrees21:
Dude, sorry to keep bugging you but you should totally add a few presets for incoming calls. You know I want the rainbow led flash! :D

Hi, I am using your paid app 3.5.2, and I got a random reboot earlier today. Not sure if it is because of ROM, Kernel, or the app.

This is the /proc/last_kmsg log: http://db.tt/h4GuyqdS There is a huge spam of lines related to "led".

I am using AOKP-PUB 27Feb Unofficial. There is no such reports on their thread of this weird log, as well as franco kernel thread which I am currently using.

In AOKP Rom Control > LED, I have changed nothing about colors / specific app, therefore I don't think it would have conflicts with Light Flow. The only option I changed is turning on "LED flash while screen ON".

My Light Flow settings are:

Direct mode OFF

Root mode OFF

USA & Canada OFF

Foreground OFF

Reduce wake ON

Accessibility check ON

Accessibility for Light Flow in Settings is turned on.

Things were going alright, LED notifications are displayed correctly. On the moment of random reboot, there were no notifications come in, I was just closing Chrome with the back button. And it rebooted when I saw the homescreen. After the reboot, I saw an Evernote Notification on the status bar showing a note that I have finished editing (and syncing) 5 minutes ago. I have light flow for Evernote turned off completely, but upon my memories, Light Flow app could not effectively stop Evernote from blinking the LED with green in a fast speed, when it displays a notification indicating the completion of uploading a note.

Could that be any chance that the app have triggered this random reboot? Thanks for your attention.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I know I know. I want to, I just keep getting held up adding other things too.

I'm hoping for full gmail label support and google now notifications such as weather, traffic etc in the next release and so far they've both been quite complicated!

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------

It's not something I'm aware of. Lightflow is only really using the standard android notification led control (part of the android api) on the nexus 4, so generally there's not much there that could cause that type of problem. I think the evernote issue may just be a notification type I could do with filtering out as you probably don't want the notification light to flash in that situation.

I'm having major issues with this app. All I have to do is lock the screen and the LED will start flashing (even when there are no notifications) and it stops as soon as I turn the screen back on.
