I'm a little bit confused! :)

I'm using LightFlow with a stock rooted M and I'm able to setup notification led.

what would be the difference if I will use this library ?
[Nexus 6  General] JimSmith94:
I also use Light Flow on my rooted stock phone and the LED blinks. It's not 100% consistent, but it does blink.
[Nexus 6  General] GrayBoltWolf:
This mod adds native LED functionality so you can use any app you want and also use Light flow without root.
[Nexus 6  General] dcoulombe:
Thanks [MENTION=4555524]GrayBoltWolf[/MENTION]. Works perfectly on stock M (MRA58K). Even not rooted with lightflow.
[Nexus 6  General] ronakchavan:
Does this enables the LED to be static or makes it blink like a Nexus 5?
[Nexus 6  General] dcoulombe:
Doesn't blink on an unrooted stock M with lightflow.
[Nexus 6  General] LGtMgG2t:
Yeah, this MOD definitely doesnt let the LED blink, only static. Maybe Lightflow would allow for blinking but I've never used it to know.
[Nexus 6  General] Jprime1:
Nice! Might have to try this since this is the main reason I root and with all these monthly securities updates I really wouldnt mind just staying on stock!
[Nexus 6  General] GrayBoltWolf:
The LED cannot blink. Lightflow does it by manually turning the LED on and off.
[Nexus 6  General] galaxys:
Nice Mod! Working on rom LightRom.
[Nexus 6  General] sramkumars:
I am a newbie to android mods. I do not want to root my phone. Can pushing files through adb in stock recovery using these commands (see below) work? So that I am still un-rooted in stock recovery, can get OTAs and still have the LED notifications :).

Thanks in advance.

As I am not allowed to post external links, please look for first result using "android droidviews push pull files adb" in google.
[Nexus 6  General] GrayBoltWolf:
You need to be bootloader unlocked with a custom recovery to do that. You don't have to root.
[Nexus 6  General] bckrupps:
What is the way to do this then on full stock with no root or custom recovery. Only an unlocked bootloader. i tried using es file explorer and it says the file is read only. I have rooted and flashed roms for years but never actually attempted to do anything like this without root. i want to remain stock and locked as i like android pay and honestly i always rooted to get rid of samsung bloatware and touchwiz bs but stock android is perfect for me and i dont want to wipe and start over. the led is a great option though. i always used a toolkit to root ect as it was easier for me but i suspect i cant do this with wugs.
[Nexus 6  General] spacetaxi:
You can boot up TWRP recovery temporarily without actually installing it to the device. Just use adb this way:

adb boot [path and filename of twrp img file]

Then you can flash anything as you would have done with TWRP installed on the device.

This LED mod will modify the system partition. I think this will prevent future OTAs to be installed. And I think it will prevent Android Pay to be used. But perhaps you can give it a try and report back.
[Nexus 6  General] sramkumars:
Thanks for the explanation. Got it :)
[Nexus 6  General] ronakchavan:
Anyway to turn off charging led ?
[Nexus 6  General] TokedUp:
Was hoping to enable the light without root. I can change my DPI with ADB without having root or UBL. Anyone have a workaround?
[Nexus 6  General] GrayBoltWolf:
You can do it without root with LightFlow (I think).

Otherwise you need root for this.
[Nexus 6  General] djgholum:
Light flow needs root
[Nexus 6  General] Larzzzz82:
My led blinked using light flow. I'm running stock M now. No root, no twrp, nothing.... Yet ;)
[Nexus 6  General] ronakchavan:
How?
[Nexus 6  General] Larzzzz82:
My thread here...http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/blinking-notification-t3218856
[Nexus 6  General] djgholum:
How?
[Nexus 6  General] dcoulombe:
My phone is not rooted and I can use lightflow with this hack. Made the modification from TWRP.
[Nexus 6  General] djgholum:
could you kindly write more. I can't find there your solution. Because TWRP is just for rooted device & google play sais it is not compatible with my device....
[Nexus 6  General] GrayBoltWolf:
You only need an unlocked bootloader to flash TWRP.

[Nexus 6  General] enzippo:
There is a way to have this file without charging led? Just notification? Please...
[Nexus 6  General] ronaldheld:
Once you install that file, can't you edit it using an LED app? I have not tried Light Flow to do the editing, yet.
[Nexus 6  General] djgholum:
Light flow? I tried it, without any changes... No effect, no works :(
[Nexus 6  General] enzippo:
Lightflow work in different ways.. And it will better unless use any app in background..
[Nexus 6  General] djgholum:
Ok, if you know the another way, please tell us. I need the notifications LED too.
[Nexus 6  General] Philip:
I'm running this on my (rooted) Nexus 6 Marshmallow with no additional LED-control apps.

The charging LED works fine, but the notification LEDs (e.g. for K-9 Mail or Chomp SMS) only appear when the screen is turned off.

Is there any way of having them displayed when the screen is switched on (or is it a limitation of the hardware)?

(Why do I want this? I normally have my phone sitting on a Qi charger with the screen on. When I go away from the phone and then return, it would be useful to see from a glance at the LED whether there have been any calls/emails/SMSs while I've been away).
[Nexus 6  General] djgholum:
Sorry it is not about LED:

Hi Philip,

Could you kindly tell me how I can root my nexus too? I am not expert, have you a simple solution?

Sorry for inconvenience.
[Nexus 6  General] Philip:
It's somewhat off-topic in this thread (there are a number of threads on here about rooting Marshmallow on the Nexus 6 if you search for them), but the easiest[*] way is probably to use WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit.

There's a thread about it here: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/toolkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-9-8-t2947452

WugFresh is working on a new version (2.0.6) so you may want to wait for that before you root. Also, be aware that his web site has been down most of yesterday/today. Not sure what the problem is, but I hope that it will be back up shortly.

[*] I'm a little bit reluctant to point you there. If you are "not an expert", then using an "easy" way to obtain root could lead you in to all sorts of difficulties - in the very worst case possibly bricking your phone and voiding your warranty. Far better to use a less easy method, but to learn and understand what you are doing, so that you can avoid getting into trouble.
[Nexus 6  General] Fuse8499:
You guys are the best. Everytime I come here, I find something to make my N6 even better.

This worked like a charm. I flashed the zip. I'm on Pure Nexus rom. No more unreliable 3rd party apps to access my LED.

Here's a flashable lights.shamu.so zip file taken from CM13:

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B4ACjWKfxD7wQ0xLLVhZYjFqYzQ

The file comes from an unofficial/developer CM13 alpha build (version cm-13.0-20151110-UNOFFICIAL-shamu) kindly compiled by [MENTION=3322708]albinoman887[/MENTION] at http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/develo...ndroid-6-0-t3231497/post63443030#post63443030
[Nexus 6  General] stangri:
I've used this zip successfully on 6.0, but it completely breaks 6.0.1 for me -- no adjustable brightness control and the phone locks up on sleep, both with the power button and the time-out.

If anyone has a zip which enables LED lights for 6.0.1 please post away.
[Nexus 6  General] springer.music:
[MENTION=2226076]stangri[/MENTION]

Were you able to flash that file on stock 6.0.1 for the N6 in the first place?

I've just noticed that any modification to /system made in TWRP won't let the phone boot.

Please see the following post:

[Nexus 6  General] spacetaxi:
[MENTION=3322890]springer.music[/MENTION] I've flashed 6.0.1 yesterday and modified the system partition (root, xposed, adaway...). It's booting without problems! But I had to delete some unused system apks (GMail etc.) to get some free space for the new files to be installed. Perhaps there is insufficient free space on your device's system partition?
[Nexus 6  General] springer.music:
You were right (and so was [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] who also pointed this out to me).

I freed some space in /system and I was then able to flash the modified lights.shamu.so from CM13.

It works fine for me on 6.0.1 so far. Its behaviour is exactly as it was on 6.0 (i.e. no issues when the phone goes in sleep mode).

Could it be that some other mod caused the issue?
[Nexus 6  General] spacetaxi:
Perhaps just the installation of the lib file had failed, so that the lib file was missing completely, or only the first bytes of the lib file were copied to the system partition. Hard to tell.
[Nexus 6  General] stangri:
Uhm, thanks, now that you can confirm it's working I'll try again.

UPDATE: flashed your modded cm13 file on 6.0.1 and it works just fine. Dunno what went wrong first time.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
[MENTION=3322890]springer.music[/MENTION],

N6 running stock, MMB29S. Unencrypted, but not rooted. I flashed your .zip and phone booted fine, but when I plug it in for charging, the screen will not wake and I have to reboot. Is this a result of a change to January security update or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, In advance.
[Nexus 6  General] stangri:
You need to delete some files (like asian IMEs) from the system partition to make room for this flash. Without deleting files the flash will look successful but you will experience various issues.
[Nexus 6  General] stangri:
Update for the Android N -- the lights-shamu-so-cm13.zip which I've been using before doesn't brick it when flashed, but it doesn't work either. :(
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Would you mind sharing how you got this file? I'd like to try to do the same thing for Nexus 9. Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] kestep:
Just updated to MMB29V, rooted, and made some room in the system partition. Flashed your CM13 zip and it works for me.

I used Light Manager to set the colors. The LED colors still work even after removing Light Manager.

Not sure if it is just me, but I thought the old lights.shamu.so would leave the LED on even after waking the screen until the notification(s) were addressed. Now as soon as I wake the screen, the LED goes off and doesn't come on again until screen off and another notification occurs.

Can anyone confirm?
[Nexus 6  General] buffal0b1ll:
I flashed the aroma zip in the OP. No app intervention tho. The same behaviour you describe about led going off when wake device and stay off till next notification is what I see on N6 n preview. And that's the way I like it. I can't stand led when screen is on. If red starts blinking at 15 percent battery I'm deleting the .so
[Nexus 6  General] Philip:
Unfortunately the old version also switched off the LED as soon as the screen is switched on.

In my book, it's the worst feature about the Nexus 6 LED - there are many occasions when I have my screen on but I want to receive LED notifications, however it appears to be an Android limitation.
[Nexus 6  General] kestep:
Thanks for the confirmation. It isn't the first time my memory has been faulty.

I see a lot of posts about making the LED flash. I would personally find that annoying, but it would be nice if a solution is found that supports it, just for the sake of configuration options.
[Nexus 6  General] phreak311:
I have a Nexus 6 on Android N and I have the LED working with the flashable zip that is Aroma installer. The lights are annoying and bright, how do I disable them?
[Nexus 6  General] stangri:
Flash system image without wiping (remove "-w" from the command line).

Can you please link the specific zip-file you flashed? I assumed you've had to delete some system apps? Did you use TWRP 3.0 or the newer build?
[Nexus 6  General] phreak311:
Thanks so much for the reply! The link to the flashable zip for the Nexus 6 LED is here.

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/led-control-stock-xposed-t3146814

I like the LED enabled, but it is way too bright, and doesn't blink for notifications, just stays lit. And there's really no point in me having the LED enabled when I have an Android Wear watch ya know? Yes I used the newest TWRP that installed when I installed Android N. I think it's 3.0.1.
[Nexus 6  General] stangri:
Thank you! I can confirm that the aroma-installer zip worked for me on N6 and Android N. In case anyone needs step-by-step, here it is:

1. Make sure you have adb and fastboot binaries (programs) on your computer

2. Download the Nexus6_LED-enabler_20150702-aroma.zip attachment from the first post in this thread and copy it to your phone's internal memory/sdcard.

3. Make sure you have the twrp-3.0.0-1-shamu.img on your computer

3. Connect your phone to your computer

4. adb reboot bootloader

5. fastboot boot twrp-3.0.0-1-shamu.img

6. Once in recovery, go to mount and check System

7. adb shell

8. cd /system/app

9. Delete (rm -rf) some system apps on your phone you won't need to make room (I've deleted Asian IMEs)

10. Back in recovery, go to mount and uncheck System

11. Flash, select the Nexus6_LED-enabler_20150702-aroma.zip and follow the screens

12. Wipe Dalvik/Cache (button in the post-flash screen on lower left).

13 Reboot system

Voila, you have the LED working again on Android N!

PS. If some of the steps 9, 10 or 11 are not clear to you, don't try to "figure things on the way" as you may mess up the phone which I won't be responsible for.
[Nexus 6  General] harpin14789:
If you flash cataclysm mod, then it is possible to get the LED to turn on while the screen is on.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023705972

I don't know if anybody has mentioned this. Hope it helps.
[Nexus 6  General] Philip:
Thanks for the information. I normally stay stock (although rooted), but I'll have a play with Cataclysm mod on my spare N6.
[Nexus 6  General] harpin14789:
It's doesn't really change too much, it just gives some extra features on stock..
[Nexus 6  General] Obscure Reference:
This is so nice!

Led without root, finally! I've got some pesky streaming apps that won't work with root so this is just perfect!
[Nexus 6  General] Philip:
I installed it on my spare N6 last night, and I'm very impressed so far. As well as "LED with screen on", it also gives me "Reboot on power menu" and "clear recents list", which means that I can get rid of two other Apps (Quick Reboot and Recently). My preference is always to install as few apps - within reason! - as possible to achieve my requirements.

Only down side so far is that I haven't yet found any documentation explaining what each of the options does, and many of them are not exactly intuitively obvious from the names :(
[Nexus 6  General] harpin14789:
Which options are you talking about, for documentation?
[Nexus 6  General] Philip:
I've only installed it last night, and there are a

lot

of options, but it's not clear to me exactly what (to chose a couple of random examples) "Upside-down rotation" or "LTE only instead of LTE/3G/2G" mean, or in exactly what circumstances they apply. It may be that they are documented and I just haven't found it (and I'll admit that I haven't read the whole Cataclysm thread yet).

(I do realise that this is getting somewhat off topic for the LED Control thread...)
[Nexus 6  General] harpin14789:
Yeah, I see what you mean. If you need a short crash course on the options, just PM me.
[Nexus 6  General] Obscure Reference:
Has any of you found a way to make the led blink with this? Tasker or something like it? I know it would cause wakelocks since it'd be software handeled instead of hardware, but still. It might be interesting to play around with.

I'm stock, unlocked but unrooted and I've got the led working.

[MENTION=6138697]Xaiux[/MENTION], [MENTION=5293078]Obscure Reference[/MENTION],

Yes, this does work very well without root. But don't imaging that you'll be able to update via OTA. The zip file does modify the system partition and OTA updates will not install.
[Nexus 6  General] Obscure Reference:
True, but you can flash the OTA via fastboot and then reflash the led file again afterwards. :)

So in case you really don't want root for some reason but don't mind doing things manually it's a nice solution imho.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
No, you can't flash an OTA via fastboot. What you can do is fastboot flash the factory image. That's what I do. ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Obscure Reference:
Well yeah, that's what I meant of course, my bad! :)

Did it just this morning too, worked like a charm.
[Nexus 6  General] Xaiux:
The main thing is that I don't want to wipe my phone in the process of unlocking the bootloader. Unless there's an easy way to backup everything? I don't want to set it up again.
[Nexus 6  General] spybug_:
Charging LED disable

Has anyone figured out a way to disable the charging LED for this? The light can be pretty annoying when charging at night time.

I've seen multiple comments, but no solutions yet.
[Nexus 6  General] harpin14789:
You can try the adb pull command. It basically pulls everything on your internal storage to a computer. But there is a better way. Adb and fastboot are very powerful, there is a adb command call adb backup which will backup your entire phone so that you can unlock bootloader without losing data. If your interested in this method please take a look at this thread it explains it very well. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351

Hope it helps. :)

If you flash cataclysm mod. It will give you option to turn charging led off. All this without root. Sorry if this getting a bit off topic.
[Nexus 6  General] Obscure Reference:
That looks really interesting to be honest.. Thank you for that link! Going to have to investigate that further. It always bothered me that there was no perfect way to back up an android phone if you're not rooted and if your bootloader's locked well.. something of a catch 22 there.

Oh and Cataclysm.. didn't they stop developing that rom?
[Nexus 6  General] harpin14789:
Rom Development has stopped but they released a stable version of Cataclysm mod before stopping development. So far, the mod is said to work MM really well.
[Nexus 6  General] Obscure Reference:
Just to be sure I didn't mess something up. It's normal to get the red triangle and the "Your device is corrupt" message after flashing this on an unrooted phone, right?

Everything seems to be working so I figured it was normal?
[Nexus 6  General] GrayBoltWolf:
If you modify the system partition at all then you will get that message.

If you install SuperSU it will fix it to suppress that message.
[Nexus 6  General] Obscure Reference:
Yeah, I noticed that when I rooted it, thanks. :)

Not using it at the moment but I just wanted to make sure everything was working as expected.

[Nexus 6  General] stangri:
I believe I've tried it on N Preview 1 FWIW and it worked. You do however need to modify system partition -- you'd need to remove some unneeded files from it to make room for the install, even tho it just *replaces* the file.

You have to flash the latest supersu beta, because that is the whole point of the systemless method.

If you are deleting APKs on the system partition you will not receive any OTAs since you have modified the system partition. There is enough free storage on /system in N preview 3.
