So I noticed that I'm getting LED notifications on the top right of my screen. I didn't see this on stock Pie. I know it was hidden and you had to manually enable it, but not anymore I guess. I've been using the paid version of this app to customize my LED colors per app. Seems to be working pretty well so far.

Wow, not on my phone it wasn't. For some reason , my phone with Pie+Sultan+Magisk hasn't been working. Even after a clean flash of stock Pie. Anywho it's working on mine now.

Eh ive used that one in the past as well. It has a much larger footprint then light manager. I stopped using it years ago when it required a persistent notification.
Blue or green?
I do not use any LED color manager. My LED is very pale blue. I just noticed that my daughters pixel 2 xl LED is crisp, vibrant green. I don't see anywhere, natively, to change the color. Am I missing something, or is it maybe different hardware release builds? Anyone have thoughts?
I tested few apps before and Light Manager Pro is the best. Right now, you only can download Light Manager 2. But the Flash Rate option is disabled in Light Manager 2 and only enable in Light Manager Pro. There is no upgrade / support for Light Manager Pro version. Luckily, Light Manager Pro is still working OK on Pixel 2 XL.
I am using 2 apps for notification alert, Light Manager Pro + EDGE MASK. It makes my Pixel 2 XL looks very cool.

Light flow does not require a persistent notification, at least not anymore. I've been using it for years at this point as well, and I vaguely remember that persistent notification in the past. These days though there is no notification whatsoever showing, and the app works perfectly.
Although, for anyone else who may be interested in lightflow, you'll need to go to their website and download the legacy version in order to have it be able to set the light for missed calls voicemails and some other stuff. They can't put that version on the play store due to restrictions with permissions, or something like that.

As we all know, the sgs2 doesn't have notification leds. However, we do have leds under the menu and back buttons. I was wondering if anyone knows of any app that takes advantage of this. I want to use the menu and back button led as a notification led. Periodically flashing would be extremely helpful. I know there is NoLed on the market but that isn't the most elegant solution. Perhaps even using camera flash on minimum minimum brightness could be doable.
You need BLN for that. (Back Light Notification)
1- You have to flash BLN compatible kernel for that. For example- Ninphetamine.
2- You need to have liblights.zip installed. You can find it from Jame Bond thread.
3- You need to install BLN Control Pro for that, free version wont work for Missed calls and stock SMS/MMS app.
4- If you want notification for stock SMS/MMS app then you have to install 'Light Flow Lite' from market.
I was recently using it with that kernel, but I don't like that kernel at all.
Besides flashing too many things for just a simple light notification is very kiddish. Got rid of BLN and back to CF. No intention of getting it unless it start supports all kernels.
Regards.
Im running the villainROM 2.4.2 with ninphetamine kernal and XXKG6 installed.downloading the BLN app from the market you get that.

Has anyone noticed the red light that appears at the top of the phone next to the front camera and sensor? I've only really noticed it once the phone has been fully charged.
Perhaps this could be used to indicate a notification, assuming there isn't an app that already uses this light?
Lol, thats the Proximity sensor taking effect dude.
Sent from GT-I9100
Well whatever it is, could it not be used as a notification indicator if it hasn't already been?
Sent from my GT-I9100
No sir, it can only be used in a call when you put your phone near your face/ear it helps to turn off the screen.
Regards.
Wait, so that really is an led light?! I've never seen it go off, it would be sweet to have a red notification led, just like my old Blackberry... BLN works okay for now, though is is NOWHERE as bright as the led on the blackberries.
I started using NoLED, coming from a Desire I was a bit disappointed. I like NoLED but I'm concerned about the impact it has on battery even though I have mine set to 1% brightness and I rather have the standard icons on screen rather than the custom icons to be honest.

Wooaaa.....
why such hassle?
i thought android suppose to be the smarted OS. :-(
back when i was using symbian, light signal plus, a simple app can make softhey LED lit up.
i was hoping theres a widget or app in android that can do the same thing.
rooting or flashing for such small function seems overkill. :-(

Android is the smartest OS but it isn't the simplest one. And as an user, not a dev, I don't like that too.
I also remember about Light Signal Plus when I had 5800XM.

just picked up the G3 on sunday. i am pretty impressed. i have one issue, the notification light. the light itself is the size of the head of a pin.(so small!) and the light only blinks once every like 20 seconds it seems.
I tried light flow but it seems to blink even when there is no notifications and it leaves a constant notification in my drop down that just says "lightflow" which is a bother. even w/ that app the size of the notification dot is SOOOO tiny. anyone else frustrated by this. i mean the dimish screen i can deal w/ but having to wait 20 seconds and squinting to see if i have a notification is killing me. any fixes or remedies besides lightflow?

You need to adjust the settings in light flow. There is an option to turn off the notification. I am using it. Really nice to have a fast blinking light for sms. Also changed the color for email to yellow.
Otherwise there are LED settings in the Tweaksbox xposed.

xposed requires root. I am not rooted yet either.
Uncheck the "Run in foreground" to remove the notification from light flow.

I'm using Lightflow and it's working as usual for me. Didn't have to do anything special to make it work.
Thanks for the input guys.
Turns out that me LED indicator setting under was turned off. I believe i dud that SetdudLdudevice on initial setup, thinking i was turning off charging LEDs, and that LF had its own control.
I'm good to go now, and feeling a bit embarrassed ...
Anyone else having problems with the LED being shut off after notifications are dismissed? I have all my Light Flow notifications set to stop after I clear the notification from the notification bar. But it's not working. I'll try contacted the developer.
Weird, not had that one.
But I have noticed several problems with Lightflow. I have contacted the developer, but no respose as of yet.
With Lightflow, things I've noticed is:
1) When added a new Notification, if you test it, the LED colour does not match the one you've selected. But it'll still work for the notification.
2) Colours in the Cyan range don't seem to be replicated corretly - but I don't think that's to do with lightflow. One my phone (SM-910F in black) there's a fine, wire mesh kind of pattern over the surface of the phone, which covers the LED. Seems to distort what colour comes out.
If I look really closely, I can see a hint of the correct colour if that makes sense. Not sure how a developer could sort that out, as the program is probably working correctly.
Pretty much Sea Green, turqoise, teal, light green all seem to come out as Light blue. Even using the hex manually still results in this. Same with Light manager too. Really really annoying!
Of course it could just me my old eyes playing tricks one me!
3) Sleep mode doesn't quite work properly. If you set it to disable vribrate only, and leave everything else on, it disables everything, not just vibrate. A small issue, but hey, I'd like to use the feature.
Apart from that, it works perfectly. So nice not to have to switch on accesability to get it to work
I've never owned an Honor or Huawei device before, so I'm curious about updates.
Does the Honor 9 receive Google's monthly security patches? Or are the updates few and far between?
Also, how good is the theming in the stock firmware? Can you change the theme of the settings menu and quick settings?
I would not say it recieves monthly updates for security patches. Mine sits at 5'th July at the moment. One new OTA is on the way some has started to recieve it. It's the third OTA since they released the phone one of which got pulled at one point because of some issues. The theming engine is very good you can theme basically anything including third party apps and what you mention.

Thanks for the reply. It sounds like EMUI is quite similar to MIUI in terms of both updates and themes. The July security patch is better than some flagships.
Can the colour and blinking speed of the notification LED be customised with apps like Light Flow and Light Manager? By default, is it green for messages and red for charging?

I don't use Light Flow so I wouldn't know sorry. Yeah it's green for messages for charging it's yellow while it charges and green when it's filled. And for Tapatalk it's the yellow/orange as usual.

I use Light manager and it works flawlessly but:
it's impossible (anyway I'm not able to do it) customize blink speed. Colors are right but speed it's always the same
Notifications are ok with all apps but charging. Charging colors are overwritten by system settings (orange until 90% and than green). More it's impossible to disable them during quiet hours set by Light manager. I'm root but I don't have found a way to do it.
I've tried Light Flow too. It seems worst than Light Manager but I've tried it for a couple of minutes than maybe I'm wrong.

So it's green at 90% and at 100%? That seems silly. If you want to glance at your phone to see if it's fully charged, you don't know if it's 90% or 100%.

Most phones I've had turn green at 90%. I guess it has something to do with the fact that the battery takes less beating in the long run if you don't charge it till 100% all the time.
Short answer is NO
I live in UK bought 9 over 3 weeks ago and have had NO updates. Still on the b100 firmware and May security patch.

Does this mean it LED on the back works like the one on the Razer Phone 2. You can change the LED colour to match the application recieving the notifaction, Gmail (Red), Twitter (Blue), Snapchat (Yellow) kinda thing? it seems like they did not think about it and when Razer brought it up as a selling point / feature Asus then jumped at the idea to get their LED to do the same. Seems it would be an Asus Aura Sync app setting than in the OS when they do update it with this feature.
Is this confirmed or just a rumour?
Also it would be nice to have an option to have the LED light up when not in X Mode however again its not mega important but might be nice but can see it not being on much as the battery will drain so quickly.

Hi,
The first thing is being planned in an update, as far as I know not yet implemented (I sold my ROG phone, as the CN version was just too messy to work with).
The second thing is already available, you can set the lighting depending on different "scenarios".

You can use "Light Manager" app to change the led notification light to 3 colors only (red, green, yellow) i don't think it's possible to change to more than those colors no matter what app you use.
Personally i don't use any app to change led colors(mainly to save battery) because on most of the chat apps i can change the color to green within the app itself, on my email/messages apps i change it to yellow.
I used to change the missed calls to red but by default it's green. so i left it the way it is.
I see no options to set up with notifications any help let me know pleqse
New update version 1811.32_0 has arrived enabling Aura Lighting for calls and app notifications.
