[REQ] Speed up LED Notifications in Jelly Bean - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So, I've been running Jelly Bean for the past few days, and I'm loving it. It's been a little tough coming from AOKP and not having all the features, but I know they're working hard. I've noticed that LightFlow isn't working quite right yet with Jelly Bean. I was wondering how hard it would be for someone to make a zipthemer or a flashable .zip to change the LED notification on/off duration. I was thinking blinking every .5 to 1 second. Anyone else with me? Thanks in advance!

Light flow works great on my phone. All you have to do is open and close the app when the led stays on

I agree really missing light flow

Yes open let the app load then close. That will clear all the led that are on for no reason.

I'm finding light flow hardly works at all. On rare occations it would work and that would be if i reset the app and have a persistent icon. I'm really missing this app too. I hope the developer fixes it or someone else gives us an alternative. It's one of those apps id gladly pay $5 dollars for, possibly $10 if it was flawless.

light flow was fixe last week, and it is jelly bean compatible. works fine for me (v. 3.0.4) :good:

You don't have to do this anymore since it was updated for jb. Surprise you didn't realize that unless you don't get updates because you didn't pay for the app

Light flow is not working at all for me,
I run the debuger widget and the light flow notification widget and they indicate that the app simply does not pick up any of my notification.
I have tried everything i can think of to get it to work, like removing other apps that i suspect may be interfering but no luck.:crying:

For those who have issues, you can try trackball alert, available on play store.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go!

The app for a flashlight is called flashlight. Search for it in the market
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
My main flashlight has been Tesla LED, but it seems to have a a 3 second or so wait between pressing the torch and the light coming on. Hopefully they will patch it up soon and it will be a great torch app on the Nexus Prime.

Hi,
does USB Jig for Galaxy S/Galaxy S2 work on Nexus?
I tried a load of flash light apps, all which seemed to have taken forever from when you press the switch to when the light went on.
Apart from 1 app called "search light" https://market.android.com/details?id=com.scottmain.android.searchlight . The flash turns on instantly, and you can have the screen show you what the camera sees, which is very useful when looking for things in the dark!
I can't recommend search light enough!
I agree with darkgruff , tiny works great and just added shake to turn on in the lock screen

I don't know if you are rooted or not but AOKP's roms have a torch built in and you can enabled it as a toggle in the notification bar. Works perfectly.

Charging LED app for the Galaxy Nexus

I found an app in the market that uses the LED for charging! All I can say is awesome. Red while charging and blue when charged. This should be standard on the Gnex. Works great!

Do you experienced sth about the battery?
If not i'll just try it
You could also try a program called lightflow which does all of that and more. There is a free version too.

I use Lightflow Pro and works very good on my Gnex. I can choice led color, blinking speed and duration of every notification for all programs (like Handcent SMS, WhatsApp, Gmail...). Simply the best.

Worth a go simple is the best if it doesn't use a lot of power
Yea light flow solves all led needs

So I gave it a go and it does what it says it does requires no permissions that you would find odd (only asks for vibrate because it has an option to vibrate when charged) so yeah if you don't want all the flash and extra that comes with lightflow I'd say give it a go
Awesome

Any data on how much extra battery lightflow consumes to run its service even in standby?

Probably not much since it should only awaken the phone when you receive a notification but should lie dormant until then or run in the background like Google services.

Yeah my only gripe with Lightflow is even after you dismiss an alert it stills keep popping up from time to time.

Maybe because you have it set to dismiss on app open?... set it to screen on - dismiss. I made the same mistake when I first got it... its an awesome app! I Love setting up the colors lol

Blue LED

On ICS I was using light flow to customize the colors and events triggering the LED. I used blue for SMS. Now that I've ported to JB and restored my apps and their settings using Titanium Backup anytime after getting SMS and reading it, the LED keeps blinking blue but only when the screen is off. Didn't happen on ICS. What do I do? Or is this a ROM specific issue?

The led only blinks when the screen is off. It DOES do that in ICS. That's how it's supposed to be
I would delete light flow and re install bc in their last update they fixed that issue for jb

It didn't do it for me back on ICS. In fact the LED didn't work at all, that's why I installed Light Flow in the first place. On JB the problem is that it still blinks even after reading the message as if there was another message to read. A phone reboot fixes it.

with the paid for version of LightFlow, you can do that. it can be set to keep the LED on till you go screen on, manual clear, or app entered for a given LED alert.

LED notification....

Does the Gnex have an LED notification light? I have yet to see one.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Sure does. Its below the display. RGB too.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
The notification light in Gnex is one of my favourite options in the phone. Some ROMs provide full customization of the notification light ( ex. Paranoid android) . I've set it to flash blue for missed calls , yellow for SMS, green for whatsapp and red for tango
It only lights up when the screen is off?

The rom has to support it, and you have to manually set it up...
I installed light flow. That's how I found it. I'm running Affinity rom and have not seen it work before. Maybe the rom doesn't support it.

Lightflow has been really flaky for me (misses many notification events). The built-in settings in CM10 works best. I don't recall it missing anything.

Except for receiving a phone call . It lights when the screen is off or on. That's at least what my phone does with PA rom
I love how I makes it pulse when I charge my phone.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Yup, didn't know there was one also. I got the point of thinking... maybe the VZW version just doesn't have one :crying:
And then it happened...:victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:
Galaxy Nexus + LightFlow has been a great combination for me. The RGB LED notification is a must for me with any future phones.
is a full on Rom the only way to customize it? Only thing id really like to see, is for it to pulse a bit faster. The length in time it takes to pulse is too long imo. I could turn the phone on an look faster than it would take for me to stare at that point and see if there is a message.
use lightflow.

Must have been something with the Affinity rom. I loaded CNA and it works as its supposed to, plus its customizable.
