No haha, first it was unlocked. Now it is locked. I really don't know how I did it but now I have warranty again. So I am going to send it for repair in stead of trying myself.

[Huawei Ascend P7] Gfhoihoi72:
I had a custom rom and cwm recovery when the bootloader was locked. Now I've deleted that rom and restored the stock recovery, so they can't see I had a custom rom. I think I'm just very lucky :)

at least u managed it like this.. send it to service..

Thanks for pulling this together.

Only problem now is 8-10 second delay for screen to wake up.
[Nexus 6  General] jawmail:
Finally seems to work better. This morning w/ slightly different settings it was unusable. Any way to make them flash? A flashing sms light would be perfect.
[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
use the one in Settings > Sounds & Notifications > App Notifications > Light Flow (Enable) not the one in Accessibility.

The one in accessibility has a warning, "this option is not recommended to be used in android 4.3 upwards and the new notification access method should be used instead"[b/]

I use the one in Sounds & Notifications and LED works fine.

Other than that, great guide. Should help people get it to work :) Hopefully the LED can be worked on and we won't need Light Flow in the future.

Has messaging been fixed yet for texts?
[Nexus 6  General] springer.music:
Thanks for the tutorial.

It would be great to have this guide as a Sticky.
[Nexus 6  General] jawmail:
It's weird so picking the color from the circle drop down doesn't choose the color. You have to tweak/create the color yourself in the mixer options. Either way I like it because it works. Now we just need flashing.
[Nexus 6  General] springer.music:
The colour picker works for me, even without enabling the mixer option.
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
Its working for my "google messenger" ( blue and white chat bubbles icon) I have selected SMS as the notification.
[Nexus 6  General] jawmail:
OK yes it does work either way, thanks still trying to learn this app.

How can I get this massage to go away. It's keep poping up every 30 sec. It's driving me crazy
[Nexus 6  General] bills742:
Uncheck show notifications within settings of SuperSU.
[Nexus 6  General] poczynek:
You should add that the Notifications Off app will make the persistent notification icon go away but keep all the functionality.
[Nexus 6  General] stumpy352:
Lightflow is working perfectly for me with elementalx kernel without mixer. I have the charging led enabled by the kernel. Also you need permissive selinux for this to work.
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
You can disable this in the Light Flow settings :

Settings -> Persistent Icon : Now untick run in foreground

No extra App needed ;)
[Nexus 6  General] occtec:
Great to see you took my advice ? 'Happy New Year' ?2?0?1?5?
[Nexus 6  General] poczynek:
Yes but if you do you miss out on some led notifications.
[Nexus 6  General] springer.music:
I've disabled "Run in foreground" and so far I haven't missed any notification (yet).

I've also enabled the "Reduce wake" option and so far so good.
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
That's weird it must be for some notifications dependent on the app, which notifications are you using ?

Im using ( All set to dismiss on Battery or when notification is cleared ) :

Also having "Reduce wake" seems to make no difference to how the app effects the battery for me ( might make it use 1 or 2% more but its not a massive impact that would be the difference between 1 days usage and not )
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
Yeah i saw that message, however i have had it enabled in one or the other or both and had no issues YET so i decided to leave this one out as the app seems to function correctly if you just follow what it asks for so people can get set up as easy as possible.

Greetings-

Everything works fine for me except for the light flashing. If I get one notification, the color is at least correct. I am not gonna mess with that if here is no solid fix. I'll just wait for the app be more completely baked.
[Nexus 6  General] Atomregen:
So it was in the penultimate changelog of lightFlow to get on the Nexus 6 to blink the LED.
[Nexus 6  General] Petter764:
Light flow flash, mixing and duration

So it's my first android device and I'm trying to get Light Flow to work. When enableing Mixer and hardware controlled flash the LED doesn't work at all. With only the LED mixer on the LED work, but it can only be RGB, not mixed colors. Light duration doesn't work either. So I'm wondering how to get it to flash, how to get it to mix colors and set light duration. Do I need a kernel to get it to work properly?

Also, after receiving a notification it flashes on the screen, at first, every 5-10 seconds the notification shows in black and white. Then every 30 seconds and then every minitue or so, it just flashes in black and white from time to time, how do I disable that? I only want it to light up the screen once when i receive it.

Answeres will be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
I turned off ambient display of notifications. Be sure you have the paid version of Lightflow.

Use direct mode, root mode. In Notification settings, enable light, mixer. Do not automatically shut off. App controlled flashing. Then enable which color and intensity you want . Blending these together is what gives the mixed colors.

Mine blinks fine. I'm rooted Validus 5.0.2 rom with Lean kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] Petter764:
I have the paid version, I also had much of what you said set in settings, but I have found that turning off on of the colors in mixer makes the LED not flash at all. Therefore I wasn't able to set just green LED to flash. With blending enabled I was able to make it flash though, so that worked as I wanted. Rooted on 5.1.

Thx for your reply.
[Nexus 6  General] KVNE:
Hello kardaras.vasilios

Have you found a fix for this problem? I can't seem to solve this issue.
[Nexus 6  General] n7plus1:
Ok, I cannot get this app to work at all. I am rooted on LMY47M...5.1. Anywhere in the app you can test the LED functionality, nothing happens. Ticked boxes in my settings are as follows:

Enable Light Flow

Direct Mode

Root Mode

Nexus 5 force LED reset

Enable "clear all"

Accessibility check

Version upgrade reminder

LF is also listed in SU as Access - Grant and Notifications - Enabled.

Im totally lost here?
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Enable mixer and choose some colors. Mixing different combos of RBG gives some interesting hues.
[Nexus 6  General] cmh714:
My experience shows that the settings need to be different depending which ROM you are on....Stock and stock based roms required certain of the root settings and custom roms other settings.

Here is what I have currently working on BlissPop. First in BP I needed to disable the Charging LED, but leave the Notification LED active.

LF settings enabled: Root Mode; Reset color before change (not fully sure that this one is necessary); Nexus 5 force LED Reset.

I know my Stock settings are very different, but dont wish to switch over to look....

If you go to Tools, you can test the settings with the All enabled LED test.

[Nexus 6  General] n7plus1:
i dont see this option anywhere?

nothing happens when i do this.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
It's definitely in the paid version rooted. Go to "notification settings" add an app. Now tap in the apps settings. Tap on the selection "light" in the selections at the top. Then scroll down.
[Nexus 6  General] n7plus1:
Is this in Light Flow? I have none of these options?
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Absolutely is.
[Nexus 6  General] n7plus1:
yeah, i see nothing in this entire app that says "notification settings".
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
See it now? If you don't have this screen you need to redownload & install the paid version.
[Nexus 6  General] n7plus1:
ok, so wait, only the paid version works for the N6? i guess im confused:confused:
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Right. See, MotoGoogle did not intend for the N6 led lights to work at all. Once the light was discovered the Lightflow dev did a lot of work to get it functional. Some of the custom ROMs also are able to work the lights as well.
[Nexus 6  General] n7plus1:
Right, see, If the app explicitly said you needed the paid version for it to work on the n6....i probably wouldve saved myself a ton of time and effort...
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
OP Explicitly says so. If you had read the OP of this thread you could have saved yourself the ton of time and effort.

Just sayin'
[Nexus 6  General] luizffgarcia:
Guys, i asked this question in another thread but looks like this is the best thread to get help.

I have just bought LightFlow and followed the tutorial but something strange is happening. The led will only blink if i turn the screen on.

Like, i feel the phone vibrate with a notification but get no LED lights, but as soon as i press the power button and the screen lights up the LED also lights up.

I am using Rastapop with Franco r26.

Do any of you guys have a clue what may be happening here?
[Nexus 6  General] dansan382:
i have the exact same issue. im running completely stock/rooted. lights only come on when active display turns on or i light the whole screen on
[Nexus 6  General] Gage_Hero:
In notification settings under light try setting charging led to solid and brightness 10, keep your other settings on the light tab... I get a solid light with the screen off.
[Nexus 6  General] dansan382:
I did some messing since I posted and I got some mixed results.

Was able to get a solid orange light by obviously mixing red and green for my charging LED. I set it to be solid green once charged, but haven't tested it because phone is still charging.

Active display seems to be a mess, just kicks on whenever it feels like it. I have everything set to solid and brightness at 20, I turn off the "app controlled flash" option which stops it from blinking on the notifications i dont want to blink. the rest are set to blink, like text message and emails.

sometimes it blinks with the screen off, sometimes it doesnt and sometimes it actually turns active display on. when the phone is charging they seem to have a fight over which LED is going to blink and which is going to stay solid. just a big mess.
[Nexus 6  General] nethead72:
Stock, root, LF works mostly

For me, the mixer does not work, I must select the color from the color picker. Blink is only partially functional, it will Blink once. R/G/B/LB work. Cycling works. Monitoring works. I was getting A SU ping whenever I got a notification, so I disabled toast messages for LF in su pro. Using 5.1 stock rooted at&t n6. I want a blinking light badly, but what I got now is great!
[Nexus 6  General] Café King:
I'm going crazy here. I can't figure out if it's possible to get a blinking led?

/CK
[Nexus 6  General] orangekid:
Me too, I really want it blink and not just be on solid all the time. Is there ANY way to do this?
[Nexus 6  General] Sleeepy2:
Yes, it is possible. Some times the blink is inconsistent (some times flash quickly, or the same color in a row) but it does work.

You need to go to the Notification Settings, click the 3 dot menu for your app, swipe to the second tab "Light" then scroll down to the LED Mixer settings. Enable Mixer needs to be checked as well as App Controlled Flash needs to be checked. Then for each LED that you want on set the color to solid and brightness to 1.

So if you want just a solid red, under RED LED > set to Solid, Red LED Brightness > set to 1, Green LED > Off and Blue LED > Off.
[Nexus 6  General] orangekid:
I don't have anything that says "LED Mixer Settings" All I have is:

Enable Light

Notificatin color

Light duration

LED flash rate

Custom LED flash rate

Camera flash LED

and that is it, for every app (SMS, MMS, Charge) etc.

I think I am on the latest version of the paid app...
[Nexus 6  General] Sleeepy2:
Keep scrolling down, it's right below that :good:
[Nexus 6  General] orangekid:
Where?
[Nexus 6  General] Sleeepy2:
hmmm, did you follow the settings the OP?

Mine has it...
[Nexus 6  General] orangekid:
Alas I am illiterate..

I did not have the "direct mode" ticked in the root settings, I see the mixer setting now.
[Nexus 6  General] Sleeepy2:
I figured it was a check box some where :)

Glad you got it.
[Nexus 6  General] orangekid:
Yeah but it doesn't really work. It worked for about 10 seconds then just stopped... then blinks like once a minute..

Did I do something wrong here? (and I know you said it would flash fast or same color)

Or is that just the best it is given the lack of HW support from moto?
[Nexus 6  General] Sleeepy2:
Yeah I think it is HW.

Keep watching as mine normally will do that and then decide that it hasn't flashed enough in a little while and then do a bunch :)
[Nexus 6  General] orangekid:
Indeed, seems to be workign much better now, just let it chill for a few.

Not perfect, but considering the fact that I didn't even know this had an LED before searching this out, pretty awesome.
[Nexus 6  General] Café King:
Noob question, but if we select to color to be solid will it blink?

[Nexus 6  General] Sleeepy2:
Nope. Just sent you PM

Mixing Colors

Is Mixing different colors work for you guys? I'm turning on Green and Blue together and still shows blue? Any idea guys?

I don't think you can mix colors. I get like top blue and bottom green when I do that.

I think you can only use 3 colors period.

stopped working

I have N6 and my light flow suddenly stopped working. I've had the paid version for quite some time. I'm running franco kernal and my device is rooted. I followed the tutorial and not seeing results. PLZ HELP!!

Are there any apps that interfere with light flow settings?
[Nexus 6  General] krozu123:
OK yes it does work either way, thanks still trying to learn this app.
[Nexus 6  General] red3y3:
The latest update has screwed the led flashing for me. If I have a notification and i'm in lightflow the flash is as it used to be. If I hit test, lock the screen, or hide lightflow the flash is very quick, like a blink. I rebooted and the settings went crazy. I have reinstalled lightflow, this fixed the issues after reboot but not the flash/blink problem.

When I got up this morning there was another update but it's just the same

Is anybody else having these problems?

N6, lollypop 5.0.1
[Nexus 6  General] maxamus007:

[Nexus 6  General] Sleeepy2:
camera permissions is so that you can use the camera flash/led for notifications.
[Nexus 6  General] bill_viper:
Hello guys, I've bought today the LightFlow (so I'm on latest version), followed first post's instructions, but can't get the led blinking. Also, enabled the priority mode in light menu for red/blue/green led colours but no luck in blinking.

Thanks for your help, now I understood how this thing works.

I made it blinking but it blinks in random seconds. It blinks very fast for 0.5 sec, and then stays off for 3 secs.

Is this the working way? Kinda something confusing it.

P.S.: I made it work on Euphoria with stock Hells kernel.

When I go into a notification setting for the Light, the LED Flash Rate is disabled. Is there a way to enable this so I can have it flash the LED for a notification?

It might be my phone/ROM/kernel, but I can't get orange to display at all using Lightflow.

Anyone tried this, its from Gravitybox dev

"I'm off to bed as I'm driving all day tomorrow. But briefly, take /system/lib/hw/lights.shamu.so from the latest cm 12.1 for n6 and put in in place of original one. Make sure to have a backup before trying.﻿"
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Mixer enabled?

Turned on at least one of the mixer colors?
[Nexus 6  General] buschris:
no more mixer mode/ flash mode? My ROMs already have Notification lights, making this app obsolete now. I liked the flash and color mixer features.
[Nexus 6  General] GrayBoltWolf:
I'll try it.
[Nexus 6  General] GrayBoltWolf:
IT WORKS!!!!

You can have LED control on stock with GravityBox! Just replace that file and it works perfectly!

I have attached the file for everyone's convenience. Just unzip and make sure it is named "lights.shamu.so" with the same permissions as all the other file in there.

Here is a thread about it:

[Nexus 6  General] kolyan:
Interesting, thanks. I will give it a try when I free up. I don't have exposed installed yet
[Nexus 6  General] spacetaxi:
As far as I know you don't need Xposed or GravityBox. I think that any app supporting LED notifications should work. I successfully tested it with K-9 (mail client).

Edit: Ok, I've got Xposed and GravityBox installed, but I didn't configure GravityBox to enable/override LED notifications. So I believe Xposed/GravityBox are not needed.
[Nexus 6  General] kolyan:
I like Xposed because it works on low-level unlike all other apps, low-level apps in exposed dont have any effect on battery life etc. Plus I read people are having problems with Lightflow working on stock...
[Nexus 6  General] spacetaxi:
I like Xposed as well, but I just wanted to make clear that I don't think it's needed for this "LED fix" posted above.

Priority & sound on Lollipop

Hey guys,

Quite happy with the product. There's just one thing I can't get to work:

* I'm using priority settings to prevent my phone from waking me up for irrelevant stuff

* I've set some interruptions, namely: when I'm on standby for work I need an alert when an SMS arrives

* So far I've managed to get the led blinking while the phone is in priority mode, but (repeating) sounds/buzzing is not triggered. I do need that because otherwise I'll sleep right through the message

Is there anyway to trigger sounds/buzzing, preferably repeated as well, while in priority mode?

Cheers,

Raz.

[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
I think the N6 has to be rooted for LightFlow to work. Also enable it in settings : sounds & notifications, rather than the Accessibility menu.
