At the moment only gmail and the email client aquamail support this. It's a tricky one as android doesn't provide any broadcasting event when this happens. I am still looking into possibilities about improving this.

---------- Post added at 12:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

Ok, I think I've just managed to get a fix for this. I can now see why dashclock doesn't display all the labels and only shows inbox and priority inbox.

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

Not at the moment no. I am trying to design quicker ways of controlling settings (such as templates, copy paste style options) but it's a little way of being complete yet.

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

In what way?

---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

It's actually possible to improve this but has a side effect....battery. Lightflow issues notification colors to the os (as an on/off milliseconds timing) then controls the color change independently of that. As it changes color it can chop if off a bit. I personally find several faster flashes per color looks better for me.

You'd think you would be able to then sync that on/off timing to the color timing, but using alarm managers which is the most effective way to do this leaves some slight variances on when things trigger (plus the code can take varying times to run to change the cycle depending on garbage collection and other things running on the phone). This is why it's not easy.

I could programatically set the led to "always on" then switch it on and off programatically to do it smoother, but then every flash state change would need code to run and running code prevents the phone deep sleeping while running and from my experiments it makes a big difference.

---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

I might add a periodic check, but it would need to have root access to do this (as there's no android event to read this information) but it would require some fairly hacky methods using system logs or system notification dumps. Still hoping to find a way to do it without root (or hope google add this feature into 4.3/5.0 - I did raise a feature request about 16 months ago for this)

By the way, if there's one feature I would personally like more than any other in lightflow this would be it, so believe me, if I find a decent way I'll add it!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] akulp:
Great! I was already wondering, how is it possible, that no one noticed that "bug" :)

Thank you.

Just publishing 3.6.2, here's the changelog

Release 3.6.2 23 March 2013

Fix for gmail labels for some accounts showing as blank

Fix for some gtalk notifications causing crashes

Fix for popup message for gmail labels contacts being incorrect

Fix for whatsapp always showing in contacts

Fix to not always show twitter in the priority list

Made the notification list return to the same place after making notification changes

Added icon for sub folders such as google now, gmail and contacts
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] eainyow:
Are there anyway to have the led blink with screen on?? :confused:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jan.ringas:
I proposed that feature to the dev via e-mail a few days ago and he answered that he will have a look at the possibilities of implementing that. Would be really nice to have that feature.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] VivaErBetis:
In my case after updating it is still showing twitter and eBay in the priority list having neither of these apps installed (?)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Number R09:
So have a few other people. Question, why would you want the light to blink when the screen is on? Any notification LF would show would be displayed in the Notification Tray already. Personally I hope this is a selectable option because I would not need such a feature when I can just look at the top of my device for the same information.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Jonphinguyen7:
Some people who use ParanoidAndroid use it in full pie mode, so there is no top bar that shows notifications.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jan.ringas:
Plus when you're playing games or use the new Daydream-feature you might not always notice an incoming notification, especially if you've set the volume to 0 to not disturb anyone or are not near your phone the moment the notification comes in.

In combination with the custom colours per app you'd even be able to tell which app the notification came from (and decide not to exit the game just to read that not-so-important facebook-message).

Of course I'd suggest making the feature toggleable, especially because it deviates from stock android behaviour (and might use more battery compared to stock behaviour).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Number R09:
TIL

Makes perfect sense. I gave up flashing ROMs so I keep forgetting about cool features like that.

Sorry if this was already posted but I didn't see the answer for this:

For my SMS text notifications, since the vibration is pretty weak on this phone, is there a way to get the front camera flash to blink as well?

I tried turning all of the optional lights on but couldn't find the right combination of options to get it to work.. the test notification button doesn't seem to be working to confirm, either

Does anyone have that light setup and working?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I've realised I only put the change into the lite version - doh! I usually do all the code in the full version but had the wrong project option at the time!

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

Do you mean the camera flash on the back? I know some people say it works although to be honest I've not really had time on my nexus 4 to test it out.

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

If I add it, it would be an option so those who don't want it don't have to. I know it's already possible with lightflow and some custom roms. I never user custom roms myself any more (too busy and need to keep stock) so would like to add screen on options for myself (especially if they ever get the wireless chargers over here in the uk!)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jayoungers:
Oops! i figured one of the two circles towards the top left was a flash for the front camera.. must just be sensors

odd issue that i can't figure out...

Did anyone try LF wit Handcent SMS?

Handcent have an option for LED notification but don't work with Nexus4.

But LF don't work as well if notifications are turned on (or off) in Handcent, because obviously Handcent have priority...

Any fix for that?

Thank you.

Light Flow constatnly crashing

I had either Light Flow 3.6.0 or 3.6.1 installed and it worked for a couple of days, then I started getting messages all the time that it crashed so I uninstalled it.

Any improvements in 3.6.2 (released 2 days ago) for those with a similar problem.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ben_pyett:
yes, it should now be fixed,I reckon that this was issue caused by the gmail update.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] pjc123:
Thanks, I will give it another try.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Yes most of the issues with 3.6.0 were gmail related. Most of 3.6.1 were related to upcoming dashclock code integration that was causing a crash (plus a few gmail issues for some)

Just a quick update, there's a small percentage of people still getting gmail account related crashing on 3.6.2. I'm putting in a hacky attempt at working around this, but from early reports removing the google accounts (in your phone settings) and adding them back in fixes the issue. This particular crash is related to a permission denial error coming from android (even though the app requests the exact permission the error states the app should request).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
New version just published. The main reason for the release is there are still a number of people where gmail was causing crashing (they were getting a permissions error even though the permission was requested in the app). The app now falls back to the default gmail label list in this situation.

If it does crop up for anyone deleting the gmail account from the phone and adding it again seems to make it go away, but at least the new version doesn't cause a crash.

Here's the change log:

Fix some more gmail changes causing light flow to crash for some users

Fixed stale priority list

Fix gmail popup label

Please Help!!

Can anyone confirm lightflow working on the latest aokp rom? I cant get it to work and even have problems getting led notifications working through stock led settings.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] neuromix:
same problems, just updated paranoid rom and now light flow doesnt work. didnt realize how much i love this feature.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I wish I could offer some assistance, but never get chance to try out custom roms anymore as I'm too busy with development and support. You could try uninstall lightflow and install "led color tester" by coolbeans from the play store and see if the basic test of the led works.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] neuromix:
thanks for the suggestion. I tried that program, but it didnt work. I think im just going to wipe and see if that works, if not ill go back to stock.

UPDATE: flashed google stock kernel for PA and it worked again.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] int abacus:
love the app... very configurable!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fgjruiz:
I'm so happy with Light flow I make it a mandatory purchase when my friends get Nexus 4s (now up to three).

I see you added Messaging + Google Voice integration on 3.6.3. Any chance you're planning or working with their developer so that Light flow can have custom notifications per user like you have for Gmail, SMS, MMS, and Whatsapp?

Thank you so much!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I was actually replying to their support team when my thread notification email came through about this question!

Yesterday I'd requested a little more information to be published by their app when a notification arrives. If they can add this then it should be possible. They've been great so far so unless there's a technical reason why not for them it should be possible.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] [deXter]:
I'm using faux123's kernel and LightFlow works fine for me. I would highly recommend his kernel - very optimised, and in the new beta you can reduce speeds down to 162MHz! http://imgur.com/CPbdkjX﻿

Questions here. Sorry if I am repeating something already done in this thread.

1. Reset colour before change is grey and unchecked, and I am having some confused colours appearing.

noticed that it changed now.. i dunno why.. strange!

2. Is there a way to configure the length of the time the led stays on before flashing?

3. Mostly colours doesnt work on the nexus 4. Is that correct? Ex: the gold becomes green

Thanks.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
1. On non-custom roms at least it should be checked and disabled (to stop people switching it off)

2. There's configuration for the flash speeds and when it totally switches off, but not any options for showing solid before starting to flash.

3. Gold looks ok on my nexus 4 - pretty much a more orangey yellow, sky blue is pretty bad though.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] vikramkhalsa:
Works on AOKP for me. and I love it, wouldn't be able to go without Lightflow! Amazing how configurable it is.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mikec628:
My led light worked fine. All ways white/blue color (email.text,missed call) didn't matter what it was. I just noticed today its no longer working. Im stock rooted w/ franco kernel. I wouldn't think the kernel would have any thing to do with this? I guess I could try light flow and see if it is working.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I think there's an issue with some of the franco kernels.

If you have adb on your computer, try the following from an adb shell:

ls -R /sys/devices

It should return a long directory listing, but I find it hangs. I've got a workaround coming for that issue on the nexus 4 and galaxy nexus.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] scuzzbag87:
Can u please add ninja sms? Been waiting for that
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I'm hoping to add it. I've been in touch with their developer and he wanted to speak to me (he seemed happy to add some support between the apps), but then I've not heard anything for the last week. I'll chase him up.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ramkumar2000:
Will installing and using the app effect my battery..?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] RikkKeith:
I've been using the app for a couple months now and notice NO ill effect on my battery. Before I charge my battery I'll take a look at the apps that have used the battery during the day, and if Light Flow even shows up, it is always at the bottom with a range between 2 - 4 percent. Very negligible.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] pagy:
light flow full vers has been flawless for me...nexus 4 on stock...but i cant get any light to work in whatsapp for the life of me
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] spicediablo:
WhatsApp works for me. Using full version here

Sent from Mako⁴
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ben_pyett:
Just to say whatsapp also working for me
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Make sure the "popup notifications" option is set the same in lightflow as whatsapp. The lightflow debug widget is handy to see when a whatsapp message comes in if the app thinks it switched it on (last on) and back off again (last off) straight away. If that's the case, then it sounds like that popup notification setting will need changing.

Popup notification apps are tricky as it depends on the settings. Usually entering the app clears a notification, but the popup actually makes it look like you've entered the app so things need changing around a little because of this.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Just release 3.7.0 (it may take a few hours to show)

Here are the changes:

Version 3.7.0 (Release 1081) - 10 May 2013

Added five DashClock extensions, so you can now see all your notifications from your lock screen and get direct access to apps and system settings.

e.g. Silent mode will take you to the sound menu,

Wifi on into the wifi settings,

Apps will display text from most of them and allow direct access to them

Heavy traffic notifications will take you to google now

It'll show up to five outstanding notifications from lightflow based on the priority order set within light flow.

Added support for facebook chat heads in messenger app (including contact specific notifications)

Added more detailed facebook notifications, now has

-- facebook (which will catch all notifications)

-- friend requests

-- invites

-- message

-- post/notification

-- upload complete

Rework of accessibility settings on Samsung devices

Added support for not using the accessibility service with a restricted list of notifications

New Samsung root mode to replace S3 root mode. Should work on the note 2, s3 and s4. More battery efficient and custom led timings possible

Fix for some custom roms where the app would hang at "identifying apps" due to what seems to be a kernel bug

Improved xabber notifications

Weatherbug and accuweather notification improvements

IMO - filter out notification types

Kaiten filter out some notifications

Many other bug fixes.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] kwerdenker:
The DashClock extension is just what I was waiting for. Thanks so much for that! Would it be possible for a future version to give us a bit more control over which notifications are sent do it? Like a whitelist or assiging specific apps to the five slots? I'm asking because I have different use cases for lighting the LED and showing notifications on the widget and the current priority based approach is not able to handle that.

Do you use priority mode in light flow as well (ie not cycling notifications)?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] kwerdenker:
Sorry but I don't get the question. Isn't the cycling based on the priority? Always thought it's that way.

I just realized thought that you already have a whitelist option implemented. Don't know how I didn't see the "show on dashclock" option in the individual notification settings at first.

You can consider this issue closed :)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ben_pyett:
You need to be aware that the latest 666 versions of the spectacular Franco kernel (my words and opinions) implements led logic from within the kernel which interfere with the leds from light flow ...they still work but the kernels now has its own led setup for charging and cpu temperature.

Now Franco had suggested that once these features make it to his nightly release he will enable config options from within his application that permit disabling of the led options....but until that time be aware.

Edit

You can manually disable the kernel leds using the following commands

From terminal as root ie su

echo "none" > /sys/class/leds/red/trigger

echo "none" > /sys/class/leds/green/trigger

echo "none" > /sys/class/leds/blue/trigger
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tarroyo:
Is anyone having any problems with LightFlow and Cyanogen's light settings? If I uncheck Cyanogen's 'battery light' and 'pulse if battery low' LightFlow won't take affect.

Another issue is if I have LightFlow set to change green at 100% (fully charged) it'll interfere with CM's light settings forcing the led to turn at 90%
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Hanny:
I second this. All of them need to be disabled or there will be rainbow! :D

Though some others are reporting their Light Flow + Stock rom is working fine with kernel leds

Maybe we both use AOKP... :) do you have "screen on led" checked? I do

Ayone having problems with mms notification not working for contacts, it seems the mms notification overrides the specific contact mms light.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
ok no worries. The cycling isn't related to priorities, they are only if you are using priority mode (or now dashclock). Normal priority mode only shows you one led of the highest priority and doesn't cycle.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] kwerdenker:
Do I understand you correctly here, that when I use the DashClock option the colors will not cycle anymore and only show the notification with the highest priority?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Light flow has a battery charged threshold which defaults to 90%, you can change it in the charged notification.

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

I'm aware of that for mms. It's something that's not worked correctly for a while and I need to change a few bits with it.

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

No not at all. Before version 3.6.0 of the app, the priority section used to only show if priority mode was on (ie no cycling, just one led)

3.6.0 was supposed to bring dashclock into the app (until google pushed out the gmail change and I had to rush a release) and to be able to choose an order for dashclock notifications I added in that the priority section would always be available (that's when it got the drag and drop interface).

I'd pondered on adding a priorities for dashclock and a priorities for notifications, but thought there probably wouldn't be a need and they could both follow the same order.

So cycling itself pays no attention to the priority as it'll just cycle each color anyway. If you have priority mode only the highest will show.

Dashclock will also adhere to the priority list for being able to set an order to notifications you want to display. Hope that makes sense.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tarroyo:
Thats the point I was tryna make, even after I change the charge threshold it somehow interferes and defaults back to 90 because of CM's light settings.
