Does anyone know how to use the front key lights as notification led's on our L9 since we don't have one? I found out how to use the camera flash as one but that's the back of the phone and i don't like facing the phone screen face down on anything in fear of scratching the screen.
If there is not a method already around somewhere to do this, how hard would it be to get this working? I think it would be a great asset to our L9s!
R: [Q] Notification LED
Use LG Notifications from Playstore. It's free but requires root.

Please try the NOLED app. Probably a better option. Tried on my HTC Glacier. Works.

Works for me.
How does it behave for you? On my L9 nothing changed at all once installed and enabled :/ What settings did you choose? Do they flash after the screen turns off for awhile after the notification, and stay flashing until they are read??

I just chose the default settings, and it flashes the front key lights till the message is read. Maybe cause I'm using P760 V10h on my P765.
The app is a battery drainer since it wakes the cpu up each time the buttons light up.
Im hoping they can program this feature into future roms for the L9 where it just causes the LED's to blink until the screen is turned back up when a notification is received. Not sure if its possible to program the blinking to run without waking the cpu?
That was another concern of mine, but if it was integrated into the rom in such a way to not wake the cpu then battery life would not be affected as much.

Just wondered if theres any apps out there which add more LED options? Maybe frequency and colour change?

"NOTE - the LED functionality does not work on most LG and Samsung phones."
Does it work with SGSIII?
Yes, it works, but unfortunately it looks like it causes huge battery drain.

Good point - I was going to root last night then thought I'd be screwed if something goes wrong with the phone!
yeah thats what im waiting for , really dont want to void the warranty on a few day old phone by rooting it
Well you can always restore the phone to factory settings, reset the flash counter and unroot which isnt that hard tbh and then nobody would ever no you rooted or flashed another ROM and to your warranty would be intact!
Im going to try out this app now cheers guys!

Is your phone rooted?
Can't get it to work properly, it will blink once when I get a text. Then it stops.

Go to lightflow and make sure that your SMS notification is set to stop "when notified app is open" (or something like that)

I have SMS setup to blink green. Here is what happens
Green light comes on
Screen turns on for like 5 seconds showing the lockscreen and the new message
Green light comes on for a short duration
Red light comes on even shorter.
No more blinks.
I recommend lightflow lite..it is free and work perfectly with sgs3
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Your phone doesn't need to be rooted to run light flow.
The issue with SMS showing and then stopping is due to the way it's monitored.
The Samsung SMS app causes the app to pop-up when a new text comes in. Doing this causes lightflow to think the app has been entered and cancels the notification straight away.
Could you try switch on "alternate off monitoring". That's what's needed for some other apps the have a pop-up like this.
I've got an s3 to test this out on, but I haven't got around to cutting a sim card down yet to try out the phone functionality. I plan to do that before releasing lightflow release 3.
To avoid battery drain make sure you set "notification type" TO "Show latest only" in general settings of light flow.
Hi!
I'm using a recent CM9 nightly with default kernel.
I would like to have your opinion : about 3/4 a week my SGS3 is "stuck" when it's locked : impossible to wake up using home or power button, the screen stays black.
The weird thing is that when it happens, the phone is not frozen : I can still hear music on the headphones and control volume using Up/Down buttons.
Sometimes I let it stuck and receive a notification some minutes later and the phone magically can be unlocked again, screen wakes when I push Home button.
Very weird and annoying when that happens.
My question is : what do you think it could be? An app? How can I debug this and know what prevents the screen to wake up when that happens?
Thanks.
Wipe and reflash the rom

Thanks, but is that the kind of easy answer you all tell when you don't know the exact answer?
When I installed CM9 a week ago, I did do a full wipe...
I think that next time it happens, I will try to connect my SGS3 on USB and do a adb logcat, maybe I'll find useful information.
Have you tinkered with any of the could settings or voltage settings?

Having a similar problem to yourself. Installed CM9 rom had a play and then went back to omegaV9 performing a full wipe using the instructions on this site before reflashing.
Since then when my phone is locked screen off then i unlock either via swipe or using security code (digits ) it looks like the phone unlocks but sort of does a warm boot with black screen for a few seconds with the two buttons down the bottom light up.
When it starts it looks like all the apps have stopped and are restarting again.
I re flashed again omega 9 thought i had it sorted but it started playing up again this evening.
If anyone has any ideas please post..
Hi, I'm a newbie here. I also exprience this problem with my samsung GT-i9300. I hoping to see a fix with this problem.
This forum has been so helpful to new android users. Thank you guys.
I'm looking for a torch app which uses the LED flash of the camera, does anybody know of a good one - preferably free!
I've tried several and none of them actually utilise the flash - only the screen lights up brighter but I want the power of the LED
.
I'm guessing there is something within the software of the camera which can't be overwritten by the apps currently available??

i found it quite fun the first time i tried to use a torch app.
i got one that flashes the LED when the phone rings
rang my phone and all that happened was the lens extended then retracted several times so my phone moved up and down off the table
which was actually a cooler thing lol

Bump this old thread. Looking for a working apps. Have tried 20+ of all the LED/torch in PlayStore with no luck.
Last hope (that will be unlikely) is to hope Samsung update the firmware to Lollipop, since it will have dedicated Torch button in quick settings.
...nah
Another huge fail for Samsung. No wonder this phone is so cheap on eBay. If they arn't careful, they'll go the way of HTC.
a xenon flash isn't a led. turn it on for more than a minute and it'll burn your battery!
it isn't a standar light, that's why it doesn't work as such for flashlight apps

torch doesn't work on Samsung s4 zoom...
Hey guys, I just saw today on a friend who got an LG phone which is L5 and when he receives sms or get a missed call his button is blinking in many different colours. Also, when he reboot the phone that LED is entertaining the holder which is pretty nice . My question is if we got something like this ? If yes with what app and if no which was the reason of breaking this feature off on a better phone than this one ? I left a link below to understand better what I mean.

LE: I found that is the 2nd generation and they got button LED allerts. Perhaps is auto solved.
Wait, the l5 2 has button LED notifications and the l9 doesn't? That sucks, it looks so neat. Its a shame about its 512 mb of ram though.
well read the later edit. the l9 2 will have too that home button led notification.

L9 II dont have a physical home button , so maybe it will be at some other location i Guess ( If at all its there )
It really sucks that LG is getting rid of the physical home button on their newer devices. I find it very useful, there's no accidental home button presses and you can use it to wake up your phone. Not to mention if they put the notification LED there it would look sweet.
I find that using the LG Nofications app works well enough, you can use the backlights of the soft keys as notification lights, they light up and slowly flash when you receive a message, gmail or miss a call. You can also use those key lights for charge status and there is an option to enable other apps to use the lights too e.g. Facebook

Yeah, I tested it too but that home button LED is much much prettier and u must admit that and is very different when u use an app which wake up ur phone every "x" seconds for the notification alert and when that LED is hardware based on.
installed lg touch led but no led for home button...
Guys, our phone does not have a notification led on the home button. No app or rom will make the home button light up like that because we do not have the hardware for it.
Is there a way to turn the hardware buttons into the notification light instead of the Power button led? I have a case that covers the power button and miss the notification blink that I had on the Atrix HD. Thanks in advance.
There's an older app for that on the play store. Called LG notification lights or something like that. Doesn't officially support OG, but might be worth a try. I don't recall any talk of the feature... Probably because we have a notification light. It was popular on the i777 though.

Thanks. I'll have to check that out. The only reason I want it is because of the case I have. :good:
I have confirmed that LG Touch LED Notifications by Martin Börjesson works on my E970 with KitKat AOSP 4.4.2. I have the Diztronic TPU case that covers the notification light. When I get a notification it will vibrate first (can be adjusted), then light the capacitive buttons. Perfect!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinborjesson.o2xtouchlednotifications
I used to have a Samsung Moment that did not have a dedicated notification light, the Devs used to do kernel edits that allowed for the BLN app by Neldar to work.
Also, just in case there is anyone like me who keeps their phone on vibrate but still wants notification lights for Gmail without the vibrate notification, do the following within the Gmail app:
Press hardware menu button or three squares menu button in top right of Gmail app to access Settings;
Select your connected Gmail account;
Leave Notifications box checked, press Inbox sound & vibrate;
Press Sound, select Silent;
Make sure Vibrate is unchecked.
What I would love to see is the ability to assign up to three types of notifications to the three capacitive buttons that we have.
Example:
Missed call = Back button
SMS message = Home button
Gmail message = Menu button
Missed call + SMS + Gmail = All three buttons lit. Hmm... maybe I will email this suggestion to the Developer of Trigger - location profiles to see if they could add this sort of functionality to their already awesome app.
Does anyone know if the E970 has one LED light to illuminate all three capacitive buttons, or are they three separate LEDs? Edit: Boo! Only has two... http://imgur.com/a/ydoJb
I've been using an app called ButtonLED I found on XDA since ICS days and still works with KitKat roms. The GUI is pretty basic and not the prettiest but the app is functional. When you turn the logs on, it will track what app or keywords appear in the status bar. You can then go in and add that app or keyword to be excluded and not trigger the notification. I'm going to check out the LG app and see if that performs better (battery drain, etc). Here's the link for the info on ButtonLED... http://www.xda-developers.com/android/buttonled-turns-your-hardware-buttons-into-a-notification-led/ Even though the app is not being updated, I've been running 1.6 with no issues.

didn't work on mine unfortunately. I'd tried it a couple of weeks ago while looking for solutions on this issue (along with many other apps). I'm on SnowJB. So far the only one that has worked is using Xposed+GravityBox... the problem with that one is that it seems to link the side notification LED red light to the front softkeys LEDs, so when the phone is charging and the red LED is flashing on/off the front LEDs flash as well. This bothers me because once I go to sleep and charge the phone the white front LEDs do seem very bright... plus I don't like the fact of having them flashing every night for 8 hours straight, gives me the impression that it'll cause them to get damaged much sooner than normal since they weren't really desinged to flash like that. There is an option on GravityBox that says DISABLE LED FLASHING WHILE CHARGING... which I thought could've helped to prevent that charging flashing but at least in my case that option did nothing,
It would be awesome if someone could come up with a mod for this. Even better if someone knew what file could be edited through root browser to make the red light flash faster on notifications.

didn't work either... which version did you install? (I saw there were several on the dropbox download link).
The problem I have with these apps is that they interrupt the normal function of the softkey lights... for example I like to have these lights always ON while my screen is ON as well, I don't like them to time out... and there is an option withing stock Android to set them up like that.... but when I use an app to use the LEDS for notifications for some reason it disables the stock preset and shutts them off entirely while the screen is on... I kinda gave up on this. I'd just be so happy if I could modify the frequency of the RED LED on the power button on notifications.

I use the same setup with cap keys always on. That's the downside all apps/mods have regarding the keys getting disabled when the screen is turned on after a notification. Simply turn the screen off and back on to reset the keys and they will turn back on/reset. I'm using 1.6.
