Is anyone else having that problem with the new labels from the latest gmail release? (or is it working for anyone?) - I've not yet got the new config (I think because it's US based and not in the UK by default at the moment)

---------- Post added 7th June 2013 at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was 6th June 2013 at 11:53 PM ----------

I've just released version 3.8.0 of the app which makes the persistent icon when running in the foreground better, plus support for newer CM roms.

Ingress support and a few other things have been added. See the full changelog here: http://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/1693

That sounds like a play store glitch. I sometimes find going into your phone settings, apps, selecting the play store and doing an uninstall updates helps. Then it'll get redownloaded later anyway. Really not sure sometimes what goes on with the play store though.

Either a problem with your ROM, or with specific apps you are trying to get notifications for. Because it works fine for me (stock ROM) and most others too.

If you add the lightflow debug widget does it think the calendar notification is on. You should see "calendar is on" or "callistx is on" depending on which type you've got set.

Permissions permissions permissions...

I have only one question. Why does the app require ALL those privileges? It really looks fishy and it's the only reason I'm not trying it out. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ben_pyett:
think about it, it has to read the system for notification on anything and everything...and then intact with the guts of the system to show us what's happening

Or alternatively it's reading all our personal information, texts and emails and selling the contents to the Americans...(PRISM)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Damn, you've found me out :P

Actually, see here for a full list and why they are needed: http://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/2277

Note there's no internet permissions, sending of sms messages, sending of emails (apart from where you have to press send via the contact us and you see what's sent first) - this is all very intentional given the large number of permissions. If you need to know any more just let me know and I can explain in more detail than on that link
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Ok I think I got the calendar issue fixed. There was some stuff I forgot to activate. On a separate note, can I ask why the list of apps scrolling feels like a slideshow? It's insanely hard to scroll through on a Nexus 4 without it hiccuping all the way. It'd be nice to fix.

Apps not on the supported list

Love the app. Got the full version, running on N4/CM10.1 RC5. The integration with Dashclock makes total sense. However, I have one issue.

We just rolled out a BYOD pilot here at the company that I work at and we are using the Divide app. However, it is signed differently than what's out on the market, so the package name is different and light flow doesn't pick it up. That leads me to wonder if it is possible to have an "unassigned" category for light flow to pick up on? This way, all unsupported applications can be lumped into one category for notification setup.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] thfreedumb:
please excuse my ignorance as I wasn't able to read all 70+ pages before asking this question. I am using the lite version but would pay for full if the below can be addressed.

When I first boot up the app and made customization it seemed to work fine. However, after awhile it appears that the notifications stop working. What i mean is that I no longer see a blinking light when i get a new text message or email. Accessibility setting seem to be fine and the pulse is enabled in google settings.

Additionally, is the foreground setting necessary to be enabled and could disabling it be a problem? I know you only see it when you swipe down on the notification but does it save battery not having it checked?

(all i use is the google messenger and gmail so the 10 seconds by default by google is a no go and I hope I can get this fixed).

Is there an option i should or should not have checked/dechecked from the default options of the light flow app settings.?

[MENTION=220547]andrewpmoore[/MENTION]

Thanks again for helping me out the other day! Everything works well now. Except for Instagram: I get occassional notifications but most times none. When I test the app in LF-settings it works fine though. Is this an issue with the IG app itself you think?

GMail Priority Inbox

FYI - if you are having issues with notifications for priority mailbox, to resolve I backed up my settings, cleared data and then restored settings. All is working fine.

Update

If you are using the new Gmail setup on your desktop (Primary, Social, etc) and a Priority Inbox item comes into a folder other than Primary, you will not receive a notification, Add notifications for Important tab as well.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Tillsats:
Any update on Tasker integration ie to enable / disable lightflow. I want it enabled when on Wifi and when charging and otherwise LF completely disabled to reduce wakeups. This would easily configured if there was Tasker integration.

As I just registered here (was reading only for some time) first I have to thank for light flow, using the paid version on my Nexus 4.

Yesterday Skype got an update with a complete new design und now there seems to be no option any more to hide the status icon and show only messages. So light flow is always signalling skype like old skype version when status icon was not hidden. Status settings in new skype can be found when tapping on the own picture top left to go to profile and then using the three dots menu. Did I miss something in those settings?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Rooster999:
I'm a new Nexus 4 user, migrating from Blackberry 7 where I used Bebuzz so I'm familar with the concepts of Lightflow setup.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to make Lightflow work at all over the past 2 days. I have the paid version and the key 3rd party app I need working is VCOrganizer Pro for Calendar items, which appears in the apps list. However, I get no sound, no light, no repeating light, no repeating sound, no vibration or repeating vibration. Notifications appear in the notification bar at the top of my phone, and when I use the native Calendar notification sound that works so the notifications are occuring. MMS and SMS notifications don't work either for Lightflow, but again they work for native notifications. It does work for Missed Calls. Any suggestions on what I should try for troubleshooting? I'm not a noob and I've spent a fair bit of time here, but I must be missing something really basic.

TIA - R.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Rooster999:
Please ignore the bulk of my earlier, large post. I now seem to have the lights working for Missed Call, Email, and SMS. Not dead sure what I did. The Vibrate options still don't work consistently and most times not at all, but I can live without them.

VCOrganizer Calendar notifications, however, are not working at all. No lights, no sounds, no vibrates, no popup notifications or screen turning on. Running VCOrganizer Pro 7.1.1.246 on a Nexus 4 with Android 4.2.2. LightFlow notifications are not enabled for "Reminders for all". VCOrganizer notifications are set with No Reminder unchecked and Reminder with Sound unchecked.

I can get the native Calendar notifications to work.

Have tried power cycling the Nexus and removing/reinstalling LightFlow. Tried different LightFlow settings for sounds. frequencies, etc.

Any ideas on what else to try?

TIA - R.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Ballastatuz:
Will it keep the stock notification color. I love the color. Just want to speed it up.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PhilipL:
Hi

Also using this application and all okay on the Nexus 4. I prefer the option of having a faster flash that this allows than the stock notification, as that is just too slow and you need to look at the phone for many seconds to see if it is going to flash, by that time you might as well have turned it on and looked at the screen.

Presumably this just sends some numbers to the LED API and that does the flashing using a bit of dedicated hardware so the phone still deep sleeps normally even when the LED is flashing?

The application also wakes the phone quite a bit, after half an hour I've got 34 wake-ups and wake locks of 68. I would have thought it should only wake the phone on receiving an intent it is interested in, such as new SMS, then wake the phone again after the LED timeout is reached. I've also been using "Missed call reminder" and that only registers a wake event when it has something to do. So a little concerned with the number of wakes it might impact on battery life.

It's fantastic this application allows setting the LED for charging and charged so I know when the phone is full, seems madness that Google/LG didn't build in a charging indicator using the LED, especially given the fact it will be dropped onto charging mats where it would be good to have some positive indication it is charging or is charged. Sometimes they just seem to overlook the obvious.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Ballastatuz:
Thanks for your input. It was very useful.

I think I might wait due to wake ups.

Charging mode. I have no idea why google would not enable that.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Pully:
If the app is causing wake locks they aren't major as my battery life doesn't appear to have suffered.

Great app in my opinion, try the free version before committing to full app, I upgraded quickly after trying the free version to gain the additional app support.

Good to see the developer has picked up a N4 though :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PhilipL:
Hi

It seems to be waking the phone at least once a minute for no reason to be doing so. It will be having some impact on battery life, it depends on a persons usage to how much impact that might have out of a percentage of normal use.

An application shouldn't be waking the phone unless it has reason to do so, and I can't see why it needs to wake the phone once a minute. Hopefully this can be fixed to make it more battery friendly.

Even if battery drain is negligible, this application will be showing at the top of list for wakelocks when people are having issues with battery life and it will get a bad press, a shame given all the work that has gone into it.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Pully:
Hmmm, would it show as a kernel or partial wakelock in Better Battery Stats as I can't see it showing in either sections over the last hour on my device?

To be fair not sure on how I should use BBS so I could be doing something wrong! For example should I wait until tomorrow once device charged to provide better stats.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PhilipL:
Hi

I'm using GSam Battery Monitor which allows you to sort applications by times of waking the device and wake locks. Light flow comes to the top in both of these on my Nexus.

I've disabled Light flow under its own Settings and all wakes stop from the application, I've then tried disabling all notifications, so it has nothing at all to do, and re-enabled under settings and it is constantly waking the device every minute, so seems like a bug/oversight to me. It is the most prolific waking application on my device. Hopefully this will get will fixed, it isn't much battery power as it doesn't keep the device awake for any length of time, but there is cost to bringing the phone out of deep sleep so it shouldn't do it unless it is necessary.

Still a great application, just needs to be a bit more drowsy :)

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Thanks for the reports back. Sounds like you have the same issue as me. I've a few ideas I'm going to try to resolve it. I notice that if I choose a flash rate of "always on" it doesn't happen.

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

It uses wakelocks every time there's a color change (to run the code to change color), but you are correct that at the moment there's a "pulse" check running every 3 minutes - it only usually runs for about 100th of a second each time. It's a bit of a "catch all" as on some phones when you fire the led they don't always trigger first time (or clear when sending the clear) therefore every minute it'll re-issue the current led commands to make sure everything is clean. To be honest it's been doing this for nearly 2 years and I'm not sure whether the current phones have this issue, so I'll look into adding an option to suspend this as it may not really cause an issue without doing this.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] DJMartini:
Love this app! Used it on my G2 and worked great!

Hopefully dev will fix the little bugs out.

Priority seems to have a lot of problems. It'd be nice if you could sort in the notifications menu by priority so you know which notification should take priority over the others.

Hopefully the color codes get worked out for our n4s.

Looking forward to the updates!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I agree about priority mode. I've started looking into being able to sort the priority by dragging around the boxes on the notification list. I don't think it'll come in the next release (but ordering the list by priority will)

I've just been experimenting and I think I've managed to fix the random colors when switching between certain ones. I seems to be working in my initial test between the solid orange and the flashing magenta anyway.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PhilipL:
Hi

That would be great if the option to stop wakeups/wakelocks for devices that don't need it was switchable. I'm sure the power drain isn't that bad however stopping the phone waking unnecessarily can only be positive.

Regards

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Can anyone who is rooted and gets the issue on the Nexus 4 at startup of the app hanging PM me?

I rooted my phone to try and recreate this, but typically I don't get the hanging at all. I've had some reports about it and I think I've got a way around it, but wouldn't mind a couple of people testing.

I'm trying taking out the extra wakelock - I've been running like that for 12 hours on the nexus 4 and not had an issue, plus all the colors in the dev version seem to work without the crazy flashing issue.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] DJMartini:
Haven't had any hanging issues and I'm rooted.

When you mention wakelock, do you mean when notification goes it turns on screen? Because I've been running into that sometimes

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
No, the wakelocks are only partial and don't switch the screen on. The only code that uses a wakelock that switches the screen on is where you specifically select the "screen on" option in the notification for when it arrives.

Just want to clarify my previous post. IT IS NOT light flow that cause my phone to just be black and slowly light up being frozen forcing me to reboot.

I'm working on getting this working with a current beta of lightflow. Seems to be working ok. While I'm at it I'm adding more granularity to the notifications so you can get different notifications for messages, missed calls, incoming files etc

---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------

Still planned, still not got any further. When you say you'd want lightflow disabled, would you want it totally disabled or keeping track of notifications but just not cycling them? Otherwise when it switches back on it wouldn't know about notifications that happened while disabled.

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 PM ----------

I'm totally aware of that. It's worse on the nexus 4 than most phones due to showing 3 notifications per line. I've got many plans for the user interface which will focus more on speed and will be less dependent on older versions of android and keeping compatibility. Over 95% of lightflow users are on android 4.0 or above which is much higher than the norm.

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

It's not very easy at the moment as there's that many custom bits of code to add support for some apps. Some can be simple, some I need to decompile the apps and look through resources, some need filters based on language files, some need different monitoring events dependant on how they raise notifications. This is why I've never added an "add app" option as although it would be possible for some apps, the amount of issues for ones that wouldn't work would just increase my support times and reduce my development time :)

If you pm me with the custom package name I'll add it to the list monitored for the app.

---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

The foreground setting can make a difference. It could be that android kills the app when running low on memory and then it'll take a little while to kick back off. When this happens any notifications coming in between if they raise a notification with an led will stop lightflow working until cleared.

Adding run in foreground doesn't use extra memory (as far as I'm aware). It's really just a flag for android to let it know that if killing off apps to clear memory - kill me off after all non-foreground apps - this usually means it just won't get killed off when running in the foreground
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Tillsats:
Hi, I would like it completely disabled ie as if I went into the app and unchecked enable. The reasoning is that I only want lightflow enabled when on Wifi or when charging, this is easy to setup with tasker. When I am not on Wifi I almost always carry my device in my pocket and then I don't need led notifications. Disabling / enabling LF during previous mentioned context will save me a lot of wake ups.

Thanks for listening.

LightFlow is now working for me with VCOrganizer.

I emailed the developer 2 days ago. Got a response the next day, I gave him a bit more info he needed, got a fix the same day and tested it this morning.

I've been in the software game for over 20 years working for companies from small to gigantic, and I can tell you that support just doesn't get better than this!
