Hi all,just got my hands on an LG G5. I'd like to ask you guys if you have the same bug I have on my unit while using lightflow. I notied the "Always on" blink option does not work on any notifications. The LED just blink at the fastest speed instead of staying solid. App reset didn't help.
I just wanted to confirm it's not just my setup before hitting the dev.
Thanks,
Same behavior for me.
From dev:
"It's a known issue on lg phones. If you set a custom flash rate of 50000,1 then you'll get as close to always on as possible. "
That workaround works fine for me !

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.

How do you use the flash for notifications?

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.
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.

Install the button led app. It works.

You could probably do that with Tasker in the Play store. $2.99 though.

Thx....
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.

Hello,
Actually I would definately decide for LG G2 mini, if it would have a notification light... For me it is a must-be. That's why I want to ask if somebody uses any application that allows to have some notifications, like flash, led, whatever. Does it work on this super phone?
Lg g2 mini doesn't have led. But the are a lot of apps which uses your screen for notification. DynamicNotifications for example.
i've been using the device for a pretty long time and i definetly do not miss the notification led.. i mean, all you have to do to chceck whatever is going on, is double tap the display to wake up the phone..
It would have been nice to have but as you said not a biggie. Screen blinking is a stupid thing if you ask me.
i actually haven't had problems with this..

I'm using Snaplock and I love it! Beautiful lock screen with nice notification feature. The screen turns on when a new notification arrives.
Currently having a small issue with this app, but the support is awesome.
I want to switch off my charging LED, indeed I'd like to switch off the LED completely. My phone is rooted and I've been trying out apps, but so far I haven't found a single one that can do the job. Can anyone please recommend an app or a method of simply killing the charging LED? Thanks.
Use a ROM that allows custom colour for charging and notification.
Select black as the colour.
Works with teamUB I've seen the colour selection options in quite a few ROMs. I don't know about stock though.
Thanks. But changing ROM seems like a serious overkill! I really do want to stay with the stock ROM (and to be able to receive the imminent over-the-air Lollipop update). Is a change of ROM really the only way to do it?

then rooting and unlocked bootloader is not for you.. stick a bit of electric tape over the led
Your sarcasm notwithstanding (and I actually DID stick tape over the LED for a while!), I've found a solution:
Using an app called "Light Flow", running it in "Direct mode", and setting its sleep time settings for all day, I've managed to kill the LED dead. Job done
Hi, from what I can tell the notifications from Moto Display are supposed to pulse while the screen is in standby? It does show them under the clock when you pick the phone up and it wakes automatically but I thought the whole point of it would be that it would pulse on by itself every 30 seconds or so if you had a new Whatsapp or whatever? Mine doesnt and I cant see any sign of it in the settings...
Any help appreciated thanks.
no, it doesn't pulse. It detect when you move it and then it shows up. If you want your screen to pulse you can disable moto display and enable ambient display in screen settings, but this one doesn't detect move, it always pulse.
I can't believe this phone doesn't have a notification LED. Blows my mind. Thank you iks8 for the ambient display option though. I was starting to wonder how anyone would know they have a missed call/message etc.

The worst thing is that it actually has notification led but it is disabled... Probably to force users to use their ****ty moto display.

Upon a closer look I see the LED on here, which you're right, makes it even dumber. So that means I need another ROM on this thing that will enable it. Thank you!!!
i have LED working on stock rom with Squid's kernel.
Unfortunately Motorola tells me they wont unlock my bootloader since I have the ATT version of this phone. UGH! So no LED for me....
