For flashing led, go to the notification settings for what ever you want to flash. scroll to LED Mixer, enable and also check app controlled flash. then pick color you want from the rgb, i do not think it mattered if you checked solid or flash but choose/experiment for the color you wanted. it it should flash..... kind of. If i am remembering correctly there was no hardware support for flashing the LED so flash rate will be a bit random and will cause a little more battery drain.

For not working with xposed I am not 100% here, but i would look at gravity box. Maybe disable it and reboot and see if flow comes back. GBox i think has LED controls and will disrupt light flow from doing its job.
[Nexus 6  General] Peylix:
I cant get a solid color blinking.

All 3 RGB come on. No matter what settings I choose (R,G off)

Android 6.0
[Nexus 6  General] :
Difficult to set up. If I choose Direct Mode the LED stays always ON. Also, I want custom times but it doesn't work! Please update this app.
[Nexus 6  General] jl33:
Anybody got this working on 6.0?
[Nexus 6  General] gitchrodd:
I'm on cataclysm mm 6.0 and its working.

Cool, I'll install it then.

[Nexus 6  General] Sugarkryptonite:
I'm using this on official marshmallow now and having some issues.

Is it possible to have this app work properly with SMS notification and "clear when unlocking" with NO accessibility service enabled?

Enabling anything in accessibility settings results in lag for me (a known issue).
[Nexus 6  General] jl33:
I don't have it accessibility enabled but I have it set to catch all Hangouts notifications, not sms specifically.

My settings are Run all Commands as Root, Root Mode and Direct Mode enabled. Colors are solid until screen on, they're then cleared.

[Nexus 6  General] RieCo432:
Why exactly aren't we able to use all colors? The LED can be green, red and blue, all RGB colors.... Why can't we get normal yellow, purple or orange?? Just doesn't make sense to me.
[Nexus 6  General] GrayBoltWolf:
Because they are actually 3 separate LEDs so color mixing doesn't blend very well.
[Nexus 6  General] RieCo432:
Okay that makes sense, just too bad. Thank you
[Nexus 6  General] veesix:
Since last update, I can't get Light flow to sleep mode while setting notifications to "none". Do you have the same issue?

[Nexus 6  General] Warl0rd:
Since the last update I have a persistent icon on the notification dropdown, is there any way to remove it? I've checked all the settings and couldn't find a way to do this. To me it doesn't make sense to have an lightflow item in the notification dropdown telling me how many other items I have there... I can see them...

Go into your apps list, find light flow and toggle the block all slider. You should be good to go :)

EDIT: Or maybe this doesn't allow it to run in foreground? Mine works with or without it in foreground regardless and it appears to be hidden just fine with the check box for foreground still checked. I would think the developer would be aware. Hmm.

Does this work well on android 6.0 with ElementalX kernel? And how much does it affect the battery performance?
[Nexus 6  General] gitchrodd:
Should work fine. Just have that annoying notification in the pulldown area because Google changed some stuff.

As for battery it's at the very bottom of my usage stats at 0.0% for 5 hours.

Just go to settings/apps/lightflow and switch off notifications for lightflow. Still works but without showing the notification.
[Nexus 6  General] akulp:
I'm using N5x and paid version of LF. For now I'm not rooted.

I noticed strange behaviour.

1. If I'm using ambient screen I always have notifiction icon "Number of notifications". Can I hide that?

I know I can hide it if I disable app notification, but in that case Light flow don't work anymore ...

2. Is there any solution with messing ambient screen and LW led. After recieved notification ambient lights on few times and completely mess up LF ...

Thank you.

I have an issue with this app, each time I get a notification the screen turns on briefly. Is there any way to disable this "feature"?

EDIT: It only does that when the phone is charging, strangely enough.
[Nexus 6  General] juanjotoronja:
Anyone knows if this app overrides all LED notifications, i have pushbullet and an outlook mail app that after i've installed light flow i'm not getting their default LED notifications. This app disables those notifications that doesn't have a profile created, should i have to create a profile for every app even if they have their own LED notification? Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Yes It takes complete control of the led. This is why I dont use apps like this and run a rom with led options that are completely customizable.
[Nexus 6  General] AndrOmega:
led is not fully lit even with 100 percent brightness enabled in settings.
[Nexus 6  General] str8str:
Could you please post a rom that has the led controls? I'm on 7.11 and can't find any that work

I know dirty unicorns has it (not on xda so you will have to search but they are easy to find) RR has them as well I think.
[Nexus 6  General] CZ Eddie:
I have the paid version and have set up custom ringtones using LightFlow.

These are ringtones I installed in a folder on the internal SD card.

If I clean flash a new ROM and use TB to restore LightFlow and give it storage permissions again, will it remember my custom ringtones or will I have to set those up again?
[Nexus 6  General] CZ Eddie:
I tested it today.

Backed up my LF settings.

Clean flashed a new ROM.

Restored my LF settings.

It did not remember my ringtone at all.

It did at least remember the vibration.

This sucks. Dev, I hope you might be able to find a way to have it remember and locate the original ringtone since that file has not been moved. :(

EDIT:

It does remember ringtones that are in the stock location (system/media/audio/xxx).

It just doesn't remember custom ringtones outside of that folder location.

So the easy workaround will be to just copy my custom ringtones to the stock location.

No big deal. :)
[Nexus 6  General] CZ Eddie:
Anyone know how to get Contact Specific Notifications working?

I set up Hangouts as well as Android Messages.

And then setup SMS/MMS Contact Specific notifications with each (separately of course).

But LightFlow just continues to use the default hangouts or android messages notifications I set up. It ignores the contact specific notifications.

I'm on Oreo with a GZAOSP based ROM if it matters.

Project Fi

please help

my led only turns on while it's charging but it doesn't works in notification..... I've tried every playstore led customizer(including the app you suggested)Xposed Led Control,xled,xblast tryed all of them but it just dosent work
[Nexus 6  General] mugendon:
It works on leanKernel, but unfortunately it spams the superSU log like crazy, even when the screen is off and no notification is shown. This can't be good for battery life?!

Or is this a kernel issue?

Btw. with the color picker it can only show blue, red, green and light blue.
[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
That's the main reason why I stop using light flow. I want led but battery life is more important.

The amount of wakelock and alarms is not very good.
[Nexus 6  General] Snit91:
Eliminating all root - logs

you can remove all the requests for root (the ones that you see spamming the report log in supersu) by de-selecting "run every command as root" and "nexus 5 led mode" (it started working without them selected for me from 3.51.1)

i do have a question, how do i create the correct color (for example yellow\orange) with the mixer? is there a "guide" for the combinations for the colors?

right now there are the basic colors + some combinations that doesnt look like one color lol
[Nexus 6  General] poczynek:
Yes I'm on 3.51.1 and if I turn off those I don't get led anymore.
[Nexus 6  General] Snit91:
wierd

it works good without them (in 3.50.1 it didnt work at all without them selected, but it spammed the hell outta supersu) + no spam

have you tried permissive kernel using selinux? (mine set to permissive)
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
Okay I just tested this, running with "run every command as root" disabled causes the lights to not work full stop.

( Franco's r2 kernel build and 3.51.1 build of LF and CM12 )

Also turning nexus 5 led mode off seems to create less logs in SU for me, I was averaging about 10-20 log results a min with it enabled and now only 1 or 2.

I'll so some more testing on these logs appearing before I update the first post and create a Advanced settings options for those worried about wake locks and big SU logs.

Leaving wake lock detector on over night to see what wake locks I get on a different set up.

As for the mixing of colours its only mixing primary colours to make other colours using brightness, however if you enable two lights at once they seem to have the diodes in the led slightly separated so they don't mix well anyway.

You can see this best when trying to make yellow.
[Nexus 6  General] Snit91:
Try using permissive kernel with selinux from play store, then turn off run every command with root.. Because for me ita working without it
[Nexus 6  General] poczynek:
The thing is even though supersu is being spammed it's not causing me any additional battery drain or significant wakelocks.
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
Agreed, however wake locks and partial wake locks seem to say otherwise. . .

I can't say LF negatively effects battery in any way that you can tell in day to day use
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
I'll have a try tomorrow and update the OP with advanced info regarding wake locks e.c.t

Note to self : started checking for wake locks at 00.30am from 98% battery ( N5 led mode disabled )
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
wow, so much settings to enable/tick off ... how much battery does this use up? or its neglible
[Nexus 6  General] cmh714:
Ive been a long time user of LF on previous devices and it works great and isnt a drain. I also use Greenify.

Just got the NX6 yesterday so getting LF figured out on it now. Currently on Stock, Unlocked, Rooted. Will crackflash in another few days.

So far mine is working installed as in the OP, except the OP said you need Mixer mode on Stock, which isnt the case at least for the Green LED (I assume Red and Blue too). I will mess around and see what mixing can get me.

I just tried disabling the Nexus 5 led mode and I still get the LED.
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
Okay after 12 hours of testing, with the phone on charge and the LED constantly on either Green ( Charging ) and Blue ( Charged ), I also received 4 SMS ( Causing the Charged Blue LED to go to GREEN ) and 1 Missed Call ( Forcing the Green LED to RED )

It does appear that LF is asking SU to control the LED a few times a Min, unfortunately I don't have SuperSU Pro so i can't read what the log contains.

It Appears LF is asking to do something via root ( i cant read the request /log ) and SU allows it and it runs as normal, looking at battery usage over 12hours its used less than 1% with the LED on 90% of the time while charging.

I'll pass this on to the dev to see what he knows about it.
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
First up how many messages / triggerd notifications do you have enabled ? if your getting light flow to notify for say Calls / GMAIL / SMS /MMS / Charging / FACEBOOK / GOOGLE+ e.c.t its likley it will spend more time asking to control the LED.

in that Day you might have received 50 notifications triggering LF we don't know, whats the usage like over night ?

Mine caused less that 1% of battery loss in 12 hours and I had 4 wake locks all that time.
[Nexus 6  General] Snit91:
SELinux Permissive

i can confirm that setting SELINUX to Permissive will allow you to work without "run every command as root" and "nexus 5 mode".

THIS WILL CANCEL ALL SPAMMING TO SUPERSU + WAKELOCKS!

I tested without permissive and light flow didn't work without "run every command as root"
[Nexus 6  General] mugendon:
*messed something up*
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
Just tested this here and yes its working without every command as root, yet to see about logs ill give it 5 mins to do so.

Thanks for this
[Nexus 6  General] Snit91:
Yes

log was clean for me while charging all night.
[Nexus 6  General] mugendon:
I have the pro and here is a log entry (btw. without Nexus5 mode, but with run every command as root).

Most log entries look like the first one (so this seems to be spammed), but I also found another log entry as shown in the second screen:
[Nexus 6  General] jawmail:
Just used the app from the play store (SELinux Mode Changer) changed to permissive, unchecked both run every command as root and Ne xus 5 force LED reset. The SU log pings seem to have gone away.
[Nexus 6  General] oneandroidnut:
is the SU logs an issue? i have the su log pings like photos above and haven't seen an issue on battery yet. haven't been running more then an hour or so though
[Nexus 6  General] mugendon:
Isn't permissive some kind of a security risk?

Btw. if the log spam doesn't affect your battery you can disable logging for LF in the superSU options in order to keep the log clean.
[Nexus 6  General] oneandroidnut:
good point and i dont think logging effects battery life
[Nexus 6  General] michmeister:
I'm using elementalx with charging led enabled and lightflow works with it perfectly .

I'm using sensei 1/02 build with liquid smooth. Runs like a champ. I've noticed if you can't get it working. Try uninstalling and reinstalling. .. Always fixes it for me.
[Nexus 6  General] springer.music:
Another thing I've just found out is that with selinux permissive, "Root mode" doesn't seem to be necessary.

I've disabled Root mode in LF and the app seems to work well.

EDIT: forget what I said about Root mode. After a reboot without Root mode, LF stopped working.

Root mode is definitely needed.
[Nexus 6  General] Sleeepy2:
Is there a way to have the light not come on when the screen is on?
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
Yeah root mode is defiantly needed, the app uses Chmod as far as I can remember and needs root access is order to gain control of the LED.

You could configure your "method to delete notification" in lightflow with "phone unlocked".
[Nexus 6  General] Cincybearcatfan:
This really drained my battery. Maybe I'm not setting it up correctly but It really is not as useful as I thought it would be. When I get one notification the light stays on constantly rather than flashing slowly. I'm sure there's a way to fix that but it's beyond me. Also, I keep getting a superuser nag/notification about it.

BTW Stock, Unlocked, Rooted, Encrypted, TWRP

You can't make it flash, but you can disable the superuser nag (see first post at the end).

As I already said in the kernel thread, the issue has been discussed there starting getting interesting from about here where the lightflow dev joins.

[Nexus 6  General] streetracer8605:
Thank you for the guide. I got it working on my stock rooted and encrypted phone. However, it ate through my battery like crazy. It had over 1k wakelocks in a 9hr period. So while its nice having led notifications back, it's not worth the huge hit to my battery life I took. Maybe I had something incorrectly set up, but this was just my experience. It's a Shane google and moto didn't include this out of the box.
