Not at the moment. The reason I've not yet added this is mostly due to my worry of additional battery drain on doing quick successions of changing color as it means every time the phone flashes that sequence it would need to be in a partial wake state which would hit the battery quite hard.

---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

That is odd.

Could you try the following.

Go into lightflow, tools, logging and select "file logging".

Then exit the app with the "home" key on your phone.

Then try and recreate this problem by rebooting and getting the sound to play.

Then once the problem has happened, go into lightflow, tools, logging and select "no logging"

Then use the "contact us" option in the app to email me. The logs will automatically get attached to the email. Then just reference this issue in the contact so I know what it relates to.

If you play with custom flash speeds can you get it how you want it? The fade can't be controlled by android, it's the led drivers that do this. All you can do from android is set an on/off timing for the flash rate.

---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

As others have pointed out, it does take over control of the led. If it didn't it couldn't cycle colors and override other apps. As soon as a non-supported app raised a notification everything would stop.

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

This 90% setting comes from the nexus one which had that as it's setting. I think the reason is that some phones never reach 100% charged and only ever get a few percent below this and would never therefore show as charged without the threshold.

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

If you download my settings from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35829236#post35829236 do you have any luck?

I always find the low battery/charging/charged to work ok myself on the n4.

The only limitation being that low battery only happens when going from ok to low otherwise it won't trigger for example if you boot your phone when already on low battery.

I've just been checking the code and I can't see anything that would change whether the notification comes on based on the screen state. If you have the debugger widget on what does it show when you have these issues?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] floepie:
Nice app! Just curious why there is such a large speed/frequency difference between the default "fast" setting (once per 2 seconds) and "very fast" (several per second?). I do realize you can customize the rate, but isn't there a gaping hole in there?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] badlucktk:
I've had this app for a couple months now and I completely forgot about it, as it doesn't even work on my device. I've been through all the settings multiple times, I can't even get the test to work. I would love to scroll through 28 pages of people talking about how great this app is and not finding any answers....I made it through about half of the entire thread before I stopped. Anybody have/had a similar problem? I just use the stock messenger and nova prime (idk if that matters.)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] keda:
I'm getting weird issues as well. Sometime the white light will turn on by itself while screen is off. When I turn on, no notification!

Anyone have same issue?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Yes it is much better now. I have it set at 2000,4000. Only problem is that leds dont flashing any text messages but work fine for missed calls and whatsapp. I checked the settins in the messaging app and there is nothing on notification led.

Also is it possible to have a setting where I can set one setting for led to apply for all apps? Would be tedious to go to all of them to set those settings.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] badlucktk:
Use custom speed 3000,2000.

---------- Post added at 06:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 AM ----------

Just a follow up. I might have figured out the problem, and I feel like an idiot about it. I didn't have the "pulse notification light" setting turned on in the Nexus settings. With that turned on, I was able to at least run tests in the light flow app. So I'm guessing that it will work this time.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ben_pyett:
Even with "pulse notification light" setting turned on running AOKP I've never been able to get the app led tests to work?

Even though my setup notifications leds do function as configured (most of the time )
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mundixx:
What did you do to achieve this? I could not figure this out :(
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ben_pyett:
this should be all explained in the various posts between the one you quoted and this one .

Turn on settings.... Display..... Pulse notification light

In my ROM their is settings.... Rom control..... led..... enable both options (flash while screen on and while charging)

Disable all default light flow notifications, to simplify setup

Setup low battery, red 20%

Setup charging, amber

Setup full, green 100%

Although unfortunately i find that it doesn't always work
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mundixx:
I see now. The issue is because my ROM - codefire x, does not have those led control options which you mentioned.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] evonc:
I was wondering if I could make a small request. Would it be possible to add a 1x1 widget that toggles sleep mode on/off or disables all notifications including led from lightflow for the duration that this toggle is enabled?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
The answer is "yes"!

The nexus 4 is the first phone to actually adhere to these timings that I've had (and I've got quite a few), most normalise the settings out and round them up and down. I'll try put something in the middle in.

Take a look here to run though some tests: http://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/2194

---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

Is that the debug widget showing no notifications? Could it be silent mode which I think defaults to white.

Otherwise you may be coming across the app crashing for some reason and the stock white led will start flashing for notifications instead. I'm gradually working my way through these issues as I come across them.

I've got a lot planned for widgets in later releases (plus daydream and lock screen widgets) :)

I might just add a sleep option to the current 1x1 widget though so it either resets notifications or puts the app in sleep mode.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] TheByteSmasher:
@andrewpmoore: is it possible to include a "don't clear this" type option individually? I have the global option set to clear all notifications when clear is pressed, but then my charging/charged/low battery indicators clear too. I'd like to clear all the "real" notifications but keep the "indicating" notifications...is that possible?

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] kwerdenker:
It is supported in the full version since one of the last updates. Using it myself and it's working :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] steviewevie:
I am getting this sort of thing occasionally too, although in my case it is the green led flashing for no reason (green is the colour I use for SMS notifications). When I then go into Light Flow it had obviously crashed because it comes up with the message about initialising apps etc, and the led turns off again.

Are there any logs that would help you, when this happens again ?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] hp1:
Just so cool

OK i'm only bumping this cos i just discovered this app for my spanky new N4. I'm super impressed, I remember my old HTC Desire with the BLue LED and I really missed it, now I can have any colour. Great app Dev!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
It's already supported in the full version

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 PM ----------

Do you find the charging/charged notifications switch back on automatically? I find it's only the low battery that doesn't and I'm planning on looking into improving that notification.

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 PM ----------

If you are rooted there is. If so can you install catlog from the play store and set it to record at info level. Then if the issue happens just e-mail me the log file. I'm fixing a couple of issues related to this at the moment, but they'll only fix issues with the Galaxy S3.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] MalindaD:
Im using light flow pro and i have a small issue in Nexus 4. I have set low battery notification led and the low threshold to 15% and the battery ok threshold is 25% and clear notification style is set to battery.

But when the battery low notification goes on when I connect the charger and when phone is charging the battery low notification and charging notification starts cycling. Is there a setting to automatically off the battry low notification led when the charger (AC/USB) is connected without the battery reaching the battery ok thrreshold ?

In my galaxy nexus this does not happen. In the Galaxy Nexus the battery low notification gets off when I connect the charger.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mundixx:
Hi andrew,

I am very satisfied with your app, so i purchased the pro version. Hoping that should buy you a few beers :cool:

Anyway, i noticed that the notifications do not work when booting. I would need to open the app first. Is this a known issue?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] VivaErBetis:
In my case Light Flow auto starts after rebooting without problems. In fact I can see an own Light Flow notification for a few seconds and then dissapears...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
When I make a call and finish, I get a notification from lightflow saying tap to clear?

Also is it possible to have a setting where I can set one setting for led to apply for all apps? Would be tedious to go to all of them to set those settings.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Can you get a screengrab of that issue on the call. I've not seen that before.

I'm planning on adding templates into the app for copying settings across from other settings.

Sorry to hassle (again), but based on the fact that we're all reading this here on XDA.

Any news on when XDA, XDA premium and XDA HD notifications will be incorporated?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
The next release.

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

Incoming calls is tricky unless routed (and I get time to write screen on root routines for the nexus 4) as the screen turns on when the phone rings so the led goes off.

Disco led would be possible, but I've always stayed away from it so far. That's because every color change means the phone is in a partial wake state. A quick flash between two colors would pretty much prevent phone sleep. If you only had that one notification on it'd kill the battery pretty quickly.

I'd love to have disco for incoming calls - I just wish the led could stay on by default for incoming calls.

---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

At the moment I'm mainly working on ironing out some issues for some users. Nothing really exciting at the moment unless you are already having issues.

So far the changes for the next release are:

- Fix for priority mode leds (if you have certain notification set to just use sounds and vibrations and not the led)

- Fix for tasker app notification monitoring (spelling mistake causes it not to currently work)

- Fixed screen switch on for android 4.2 so it only stays on for about 7 seconds instead of the 2 minutes (or whatever the screen default timeout is)

- Fixed some layout issues on hi-res devices such as the nexus 10

- Fixed the widget sometimes changing from black to white

- Support for another 17 apps.

Now I'm working on persistence so that hopefully multi-user support will work on the nexus 10 and hopefully mean if android kills the app it'll recover better than it currently does.

This will also help the work towards profiles that I'm currently designing (but that's a while away yet!)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bbilko:
Is the tasker support going to include a full plugin?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ben_pyett:
Are you aware off or have you heard of any issues issues with running your application and 'missed it' to monitor notifications and display the various unread email counts in Nova instead of tesla?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] AmesCell:
Is Priority Inbox still on the list or is that not possible anymore?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Not yet. Just for notifications raised by tasker. I do plan to add in plugin support though and have been looking into it.

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

I've not found a way yet, but still looking. Also hope to get gmail label support into a build soon which may negate the need for this option.

---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

I've not heard of anything before.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bbilko:
Other suggestion was: Allow for long strings of timings in the custom options.

I have recently put together a table to m/s timings to have tasker vibrate morse code as part of the message alerts. It would be awesome if the notification light could do the same.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] floepie:
Is there posted somewhere a list of most appropriate settings to use specifically for this device from some who have more experience with this app? It seems there are quite a few settings which are device-specific. It's great that there's help under each setting, but the Nexus 4 is not referred to anywhere. I'm using pretty much the default settings now (no root and all other LEDs found remain unchecked). It seems that I'm getting most notifications, but there are still hiccups. Perhaps there's a setting I'm overlooking to ensure better stability? Or is this sort of a crapshoot yet on this device?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Have you got any specifics on the issue you have? I use pretty much the defaults (apart from a faster flash speed) and find it pretty solid on the nexus 4 myself.

I think the main one is if you swipe away notifications most types won't clear unless you check the "pull down notification bar option" for a type of clearing method.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] noodles2224:
So is this really stable? Because why is it that a few people are having issues with it and it stops working sometimes? All I want is SMS speed a little faster than stock, nothing else. I don't care for any other notifications.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] .A.J.:
From my experience, this app is very stable. I use it on the stock ROM, rooted, using mostly the stock kernel. I just switched to faux's stable (3rd) kernel yesterday and haven't had any issues yet (I don't expect any from this app either).

Edit: why others have stability issues is probably that our phones/OS leaves soo much room for variables and configurations and that's before rooting and custom kernels and ROMs and soo on and soo forth.

I believe there is a free/lite/possibly trial version. Give it a try and if doesn't work uninstall it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I would tend to agree with this too. There are several hundred thousand people using the app and I'm always getting issues reported, but for most people with help they can get it working (apart from on certain phones without support/root) or custom roms that break some of the standard notifications to try and add their own functionality (although it also works with lots of custom roms)

There are a few issues that I'm working on. For example the black->white widget issue. This is where the app is getting killed by android to free memory or there's a crash in the app. My main next release focus is to fix these issues. (although if anyone has this problem and is rooted, send me through a logcat with an app such as catlog).

I've had a nexus 4 for about a month and a half and the only issues I've really had with the app have either been fixed (the messed up colors e.g. magenta->orange) or bugs in development builds. Other known issues are all documented on the website (such as priority inbox gmail with gmail 4.2.1) etc

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Goog1e Phone:
light flow works great for me with xylon. running for a few days now and did a few test and it works. with xylon, you have to make sure you have LED notifications on in the settings. And then light flow will work. it should be in settings > display > notification light.

also make sure you have the latest version paid version of light flow. i tried the LITE version and it did not work, but the paid version did. I dont think the dev updated his free version yet.

That's standard for android. I know some custom roms add an option in to have the screen on, but the default for android it to switch it off.

Which notification types are you having the issue with not clearing and how are you clearing them? If you swipe them away then by default these won't clear - unless you check the "pull down notification bar" option.

---------- Post added at 06:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 AM ----------

Is that all that shows in the list? or is that the only colors that show. If other colors show in the list but don't work it sounds like you may have an issue with the green led in your phone.

You could temporarily uninstall lightflow and install "led color tester" by coolbeans from the play store to try and isolate the issue.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ztmike:
bought the paid version of this app and last night the damn app kept lighting up my notification light without my phone even being used.

word of advice.. don't buy this app. I'll stick with the stock notification light setup..at least I know it works right.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] dvdy:
I bought it and it works just fine. You should check your led settings. Maybe it's set to light up when you have no signal/airplane mode or you're in silent mode

Note to dev: I think that when you disable lightflow, it should return control of the led to the system. When I first installed lightflow, it was a little confusing since I tried to test the CM notification led settings with lightflow disabled but nothing was working, so I thought lightflow broke my led.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ztmike:
My settings were just fine.
