[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Maybe I will give Franco kernel a try.

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

What governor? MP decision or intelliplug?
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Well, Franco kernel provided no relief. When I uncheck the Enable Lightflow box there's no lag. Rechecking the box brings back the lag. I am unwilling to give up my 5.0.2 ROM with its dark themes nor my Sensei kernel with its tons of governor choices in order to have working LEDs. The wake screen lag is just not tolerable to me. If this is ever solved I will jump on it. Would be nice.
[Nexus 6  General] DroidIt!:
Works fine for me on SlimLP + ElementalX kernel. No wake up screen lags or anything. If I remember correctly, all the kernels at this point don't have much to do with notif light control yet, so it shouldn't matter which kernel you're using. Still too early in the game yet for many features to be baked into the kernels. As a matter of fact, if you go to the EleX thread franko and flar were just having a brief discussion on still getting the fundamentals down right. So, I think it's all in the app settings and not much else ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Snit91:
as of 3.51.1 (at least for me), deselecting "run every command as root" and "nexus 5 led mode" will eliminate the spamming, while keeping the led working... try it

EDIT: might work only with permissive kernel (use selinux app from play store to set to permissive + restart)

BTW, does anyone know how to add more colors to the led? (like orange, yellow) the mixer doesnt really give many options to create those... i can only create weird combination of colors with it (like blue-red)
[Nexus 6  General] DroidIt!:
Well, I've been playing with the app all day, read this whole thread and read the thread linked above and everything works fine. Only thing is when I select mixer and then try a test my light won't come on. Unselect mixer and my light works again. I've tried different values for different colors and my led stays dark. Anybody else have this problem?
[Nexus 6  General] DatDude123:
Yes. Today I had that problem when I changed ROMs. I restored my backed up LightFlow settings which I thought would have worked.....but no. I am mixless. I'm OK with that. Just stumped.

[Nexus 6  General] Snit91:
SELinux Permissive On - NO WAKELOCKS\BATTERY DRAIN!

i can confirm that setting SELINUX to Permissive will allow you to work without "run every command as root" and "nexus 5 mode" (Allowing you to eliminate all the spamming to SuperSu and the wakelocks!!!)

I tested without permissive and light flow didn't work without "run every command as root"
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Solved!! Screen wake lag no longer a problem. Sensei kernel R30 wasn't working well with LightFlow. 8 -10 second lag to wake up screen. Using Trickster, intelliplug, intelliactive I changed Screen wake control to this

Good so far.

Update: Well only partially solved. As soon as I added couple more apps & turned on the mixer, lag & SOD returned.
[Nexus 6  General] dblake15:
Will there ever be a way to make this light blink? Solid is fine but so used to blinking with the n5
[Nexus 6  General] rgraville:
Can you point me in the direction of instructions for setting SELinux to permissive? I have tried searching but am only finding links to articles about how SuperSU now hooks into Zygote, or needing a modified kernel.

Also, I appear to be blind but I seem to recall seeing the SELinux status on my old phone (Galaxy S3, unlocked/rooted Touchwiz Jellybean 4.3) but cannot find the matching item in phone properties on my Nexus 6 Lollipop 5.0.1. Is the SELinux status noted somewhere else?

Edit:

I found information regarding changing the 1 to a 0 in the file "/sys/fs/selinux/enforce"

( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48006307&postcount=65 )

I have made that change and rebooted. Still not sure where to see in the settings that SELinux is set to permissive.

Testing lightflow without running every command as root. Will reply back.

Follow up Edit:

Content of file reset to 1 post reboot.

Any details on how to disable SELinux would be appreciated.
[Nexus 6  General] Snit91:
Hi,

Download SELinuxModeChanger from google play. That will do the trick :)
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
On my 64gb Nexus 6 with Samsung /Hynix memory chip combo, decrypted, I can get Lightflow ( paid ) to work but it causes an 8-10 second screen wakeup delay as soon as I enable it + SOD whenever device has been idle for an hour or more. I've tried this on Broken ROM, Slimrom, Elix-R in all combinations with Lean Kernel, Elemental-X, Sensei kernels. I followed the instructions in the install thread but it's always the same.

Scratching head & giving up ( for now) .
[Nexus 6  General] rgraville:
That did it. Thanks.

On a side note, I am noticing that every time I reboot my phone LightFlow crashes. It starts back up after a minute but I do have to clear the notification triangle that stated it crashed. I thought it was something to do with my messing with the SELinux setting and/or root settings in the LF options, but setting all that back to original state and rebooting still caused the crash on reboot. As it seems to recover after a moment, and all it requires is for me to clear a notification, I don't really care, but figured I would throw that out there.
[Nexus 6  General] Crosserson:
Thank you for this!! I too noticed the constant spamming. That is now gone.

Can this have any negative effects?
[Nexus 6  General] ee_981:
Did anyone figure out how to make it blink?
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
i use trickster mod app and set it on BLUE led to blink when charging and GREEN led when its fully charged ...never got lightflow working
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
I got it working on notifications but 10 second lag to wake up screen. Tried 9 different combinations of rom / kernel and the same on all. Lag goes away as soon as Lightflow disabled. Maybe my bin 6 device or the Hynix 64gb memory chip? Can't figure why it works on some units but not others.
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
i had it working perfect for a few hours then randomly it stopped working... didnt change anything.. really annoying.
[Nexus 6  General] Marcellus1:
I just installed Lightflow and have been playing around with it. I was getting the same long lags waking up the screen. I installed SELinux Mode Changer, switched to permissive, then unchecked run every command as root and the nexus 5 setting. That seemed to help for a couple of minutes, but now I'm back to the long lags.
[Nexus 6  General] jeffreii:
Hi Andrew - I tested out whether or not we could turn off Run In Foreground (persistent mode) after the latest update. It seemed to work fine...but I noticed Light Flow was using 5-10% of my battery each day - usually the #1 app in GSAM Battery Monitor. I tested this for a few days, after a few reboots, and it seemed pretty consistent. Once I turned persistent mode back on, the battery drain went back down to almost nothing.

I really dislike having the icon up there but it's better than losing a chunk of my battery each day.

Do you have any updates on development for the Nexus 6?

Thanks as always,

Jeff
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
You can get rid of the notification by installing notifications off from the play store
[Nexus 6  General] andrewpmoore:
I really can't think why that would be, it's just changing a flag effectively in android on starting the app in the foreground or not. There's then no processing differences between those settings.

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

I'm working on that for the next release. I've got each color running as a simple blink with the mixer enabled on my development build.

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

The lags usually come from waiting for a response from SU. Do you have lightflow set to be granted access and no notification popup when it happens.

SELinuxModeChanger should help with that as the app will only need su at startup to change the permissions of files and then they will not need to run as root.
[Nexus 6  General] Marcellus1:
Yes, I have lightflow set for root access without notification popups.
[Nexus 6  General] andrewpmoore:
Have you tried on a stock rom rooted (that's whast I'm using)
[Nexus 6  General] jeffreii:
Yeah I definitely don't know why either...but I tested it for a few days...made sure to reboot after each change to start fresh...and battery drain was night and day with persistent mode on/off.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
For me it's the screen wake lag. Didn't try stock rooted. Can't stand the blindingly white UI. Thanks for the dark option in your app. Looking forward to using Lightflow again once this issue is resolved.
[Nexus 6  General] andrewpmoore:
Does it come up with the "application not responding" error at all when this happens?
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
No. Lock screen flashes for maybe a half second, then goes dark for around 8-10 seconds, then lights up OK. No error toast of any kind.
[Nexus 6  General] Marcellus1:
The same happens for me. I am on stock rooted.
[Nexus 6  General] andrewpmoore:
If you temporarily switch off "direct mode" in lightflow does it stop doing that?
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Never occurred to me to try that. Might give it a go later today.
[Nexus 6  General] Sleeepy2:
For a quick cheap way to get it to blink, I have set to have tasker notify and all of the led's are off.

Because tasker is currently always in my notification it will turn the led off, then it will cycle to the next one that is on :)
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
Mine's been running fine since switching to permissive mode a couple days ago. My SU log has been clear of Light Flow and I don't get wake delay or anything.

This morning the light didn't work and apparently Light Flow was killed but I am going to guess that's a Lollipop memory bug or something that's being too aggressive. I seem to have to restart my Nexus 6 every other day or so.

It's weird there is a wake delay for some people and not others. Could it be because of another app like hangouts or something which I don't use? Like does lightflow check certain apps when the screen turns on? Could one of those apps be causing lightflow to hang temporarily while it is being checked or something? I only ask because it seems like some apps like hangouts have had weird issues with notifications before.
[Nexus 6  General] redsmith:
Have you guys noticed that LeanKernel causes the LED to glow with a red light when charging a turned-off phone?
[Nexus 6  General] Marcellus1:
Mine still has the delay with direct mode off.
[Nexus 6  General] andrewpmoore:
I use hangouts quite a bit and there's not really much going on at the switch screen on except switching off any outstanding notifications with a "clear notification style" of "screen on".

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

Can you try with root mode off as well just to make sure it's not getting stuck on any su commands
[Nexus 6  General] Marcellus1:
I get the same effect with root mode off as well.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
No change.

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

Mine acts exactly like Marcellus1 reports.

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

Let's do some " is, is not"

My device is: 64gb bin 6. Samsung ram, Hynix 64gb storage. Selinux permissive.

Android 5.0.2

Rooted. Custom Rom and kernel
[Nexus 6  General] Marcellus1:
My device is 64GB, Samsung RAM, Hynix 64GB storage, SELinux permissive. Android 5.0.1. Rooted. Stock. Encryption enabled.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Mine is decrypted.

So the same Lightflow screen lag behavior on both with the 64gb Samsung / Hynix configuration. Now we need to hear from some other folks. Ok, guys, let us know your configuration and whether you experience the lag.
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
is anyone using franco kernel and has the LED blinking when its charging? if yes, is there a weird blip blinking? for example: blink, blink, blink, blink, "weird blink" ?

using trickster mod to activate the charging LED

also could not get lightflow to work with SMS notifications..maybe conflicting with CHOMP sms?

I dld the unencrypted one. Hope it's OK.

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

With Faux kernel lag is still present. So it's not the kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] justbabu:
Do you have some other app that is somehow delaying the notification from Lightflow?

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] rgraville:
I have hynix hynix and have no lag
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Don't know what it could be. Don't think it's the notification from Lightflow . I can see the notification on screen during the brief time before screen goes dark to await the more stable wake up. From what I am seeing so far looks like maybe a problem with the Samsung ram read / write and Lightflow app? As soon as I disable Lightflow the lag goes away.

So far those with Hynix ram seem to be ok and with Samsung ram have the lag.
[Nexus 6  General] andrewpmoore:
I could try go create a custom build where everything is removed from the screen on broadcast to see if that helps see where the issue is if somebody wants to PM me. As I don't see the issue myself it's difficult to test
[Nexus 6  General] Creamy Goodness:
Just want to say thanks to lightflow developer for working on this. Motorolla / Google really dropped the ball on this phone's LED, dt2w, and whatever else they felt like. Not much of a flagship IMO. Thanks for pushing the new versions to the amazon app store.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Uh oh. Just got a report of Samsung / Hynix without the Lightflow induced lag.

I have requested full Info as to whether 32 - 64 and rom / kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] jeffreii:
After further testing I now have mixed results. With persistent mode on, I am still having battery issues. Today Light Flow used 21% of my battery! See attached.

I don't know what's going on but I watch my battery regularly and have never had battery issues with Light Flow until the latest update.

Has anyone else noticed battery issues or lack thereof?

Thanks!

EDIT/UPDATE: After finally updating to 5.0.1 the battery drain has been non-existent for a few days...not sure what fixed it or what caused it in the first place.
[Nexus 6  General] ppgregory:
That was me in another thread. I have 64g stock rooted 5.01 encrypted with Samsung/Hynix and no lag. Works great.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Went back to stock rooted decrypted. Same way. Lightflow causes screen wake-up lag.

Giving up on Lightflow.
[Nexus 6  General] jeffreii:
32GB here - Samsung/Samsung - no lag unless the 300-500ms for the screen to turn on is lag?

Stock, rooted, decrypted, TWRP here...still on 5.0 though. No custom kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Na. Screen flashes on at about the 300ms mark. Stays about that same time then goes back off for nearly 10 seconds. That's the lag I refer to.
[Nexus 6  General] jodvova:
can anyone help me find this Mixer thing in notification settings ?

I've enabled root/direct access and all that stuff. But still don't see mixer in notification settings. I'm running Pure Shamu ROM.

[Nexus 6  General] shaoran_ojo:
I just got my N6 yesterday and have already rooted.

tried using Lightflow to activate the LED notifications, everything work well.

However, the light is not flashing. Is there any way to make it flash rather than stay green or whatever color until I clear the notification?

I rooted my phone just so I can use lightflow. I just couldn't stand the battery drain with ambient display. We'll see how this goes.

Use chroma ROM.... Its baked in...when I clear my notification in textra led goes away... There's no way to make it blink as of yet....
[Nexus 6  General] peeps67:
Notification disabled will the LED work

Hi Guys,

I hate the notifications displaying on the touchscreen. If I disable these notifications and decide to use the LED method, will the LED notification work if I selected not to display notifications when the device is locked.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
So, how did the battery drain w/ Lightflow LED compare to that of ambient display?
[Nexus 6  General] billybloxx:
yeah this is awsome
[Nexus 6  General] ripbabey:
No idea why, but its not working on mine. Tried everything listed, lightflow just appears to crash at some point on my phone, and I can no longer wake it up. I'll push the wake up button twice, screen comes on, and immediately goes off. If I push the wake button once , nothing happens. Have to restart my phone. :( so had to uninstall since it kept crashing and it didn't work. Not sure why, really wanted it to work
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Had the same problem for a while. Thought it was my memory chip configuration.

Turned out to get fixed in kernel. Sensei kernel R58. LightFlow now working fine.
[Nexus 6  General] clothednblack:
This just in....
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
With new LightFlow I am getting blinking LED OK but SODs are back. Will disable LightFlow for a while. If no SODs will re enable, to see if SOD comes back. If so, will disable flashing LED. If SOD persists after that will revert to previous version.

Progress.
[Nexus 6  General] clothednblack:
That's crazy, I haven't had SOD since making some changes to kernel settings
[Nexus 6  General] ripbabey:
Wow! Guess the update works :) ****ty thing is , you get like 7 colors to choose from :( hopefully that will be resolved later, unless anyone has a idea why , plus 2 of the colors don't even show close to the color shown hahaha. Ohwell, just happy to have any type of notification light , again thanks for that!
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
If I could make some changes to kernel settings to get it to avoid SOD I would gladly so. Just that with previous LightFlow & solid LEDs I was not getting SODs.

I'm using Sensei R58, Alucard, mp decision, as that has seemed to give good mix of speed, stability, battery life for me.
[Nexus 6  General] clothednblack:
This works for me on R62 and previous R versions .
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
So cubic, 4096, intelliplug. Which governor?

Having no SOD in past several hours, about to re-enable LightFlow.
[Nexus 6  General] clothednblack:
Intellactive
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Thanks. I made the other 3 adjustments, re-enabled LF. So far, no SOD. Still using alucard.
[Nexus 6  General] gohabsgo:
Not sure if I am the only one experiencing this but ever since the last update my LED light doesn't work anymore. It used to work flawlessly.
[Nexus 6  General] gitchrodd:
try settings>sound & notification> notification access make sure light flow still checked

Can also try unchecking and checking direct mode and root mode in light flow >device settings and root

That is what i do to get it working after updates
[Nexus 6  General] gohabsgo:
Thanks, unchecking and checking direct mode and root mode did it.
[Nexus 6  General] dblake15:
Works great but still solid light. Is blinking working yet?
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Yes. Updated LightFlow blinking the LEDs fine for me. It's in mixer settings.
[Nexus 6  General] dblake15:
When I changed it to use the mixer it stopped working. If I take if off mixer it works., but solid light. Anything I am missing? Do the mixer colors need to be tweaked?

Thanks for any help, it is appreciated.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
I think maybe you have to turn one or more of the mixer colors on. And check the blink box .
[Nexus 6  General] r3ddawn:
Could someone that has their led flashing with the latest version of Lightflow please create a backup of their settings then post here? I can't seem to figure out what step I am missing to get the led to flash on my Nexus 6. I can get it to light up, but if I enable the mixer option it never works, meaning the led never comes on again, as soon as I disable though, the led lights up and stays on, no flashing. Importing someone's working settings will allow me to see what if anything I haven't selected or done right. Would help others that have the same issue as well.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
I couldn't get the file to attach. Maybe when I figure that part out.
[Nexus 6  General] r3ddawn:

[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
We can try.

OK, done.
[Nexus 6  General] r3ddawn:
Thanks for the file my friend, that worked and I see what settings I missed. I've attached the file in rar format for others that may be having this issue. Simply extract and via your computer, transfer the file to your "lightflow" directory using any of the file managers you can get on the app store. Via lightflow go to tools, and import the settings from the file. From there you can change up the colors or notifications as you see fit... Thanks again for the help!!

[Nexus 6  General] rockluvva:
Hello

After trying everything mentioned here on my rooted Nexus 6 (except the ultra-tech stuff), including trying to install the kindly-provided backup (which just crashed my Lightflow), I can't seem to get the LED working.

I would add though, that I'm currently waiting for a nano-sim, so have been trying all this without a sim in the phone.

So my (possibly stupid) first question is: will this not work anyway until I get up & running on my new sim? :eek:

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
It doesn't need a sim card for it to work mate
[Nexus 6  General] rockluvva:
Thanks Chubby. Just wanted to eliminate that option in case it was that.

Ok, so I'm a bit stumped then. I followed the video to the letter, I'm rooted all fine, the kindly-posted file didn't work either - not sure where to go from here.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
No worries mate have you tried the settings zip a couple of posts up
[Nexus 6  General] rockluvva:
I've tried a couple, plus followed a vid just setting up Lightflow, but it's not activated it. Think I may have to go through the whole thread & see if there's other things to try. I even downloaded the backup file posted, but all that did was crash my Light flow
