Hey guys,
I just wanted to check if Moto Z play has LED notification. I just read somewhere that this device does not have one. But wanted to confirm.
If this is true, I have to look for another device.
Thanks
No doesn't have notification light more a on screen notification , like if a gumtree message comes through and the screen is off It shows a tree in a dim white at the bottom

It actually has a hidden LED as every moto device. On CyanogenMod I've already repurposed it as notification LED.

If it's like the Droid Turbo it has a "charging LED" that can be used with root
If u root there's a app that can make the front flash work as a notification

I use this in my moto x style
Thank you guys for sharing the information
I saw the LED on our Moto Z play, when you connect the turbocharger with the phone turned off, you can clearly see a white led (not the flash) blinking briefly in the zone of the proximity sensors.
Yeah there is something between the front camera and speaker, maybe someone can configure it for notification
I used led control app to make it work. It is only white. And it didn't make it work for notifications. Only when charging, or usb, or using internal, or external memory.

Tasker is capable of using this LED and you can set it up to function as a notification light. I do it with my Droid Turbo.

This may or may not work on the Z Play. You will need root.
BACKUP FIRST JUST IN CASE!
I have it setup to only turn on if the screen is off.
Task 1 (LED on): if %SCREEN ~ Off
Set light - set charging to 1
End if
Task 2 (LED off): set light - set charging to 0
For profiles do this for each app you want to have set off the LED if you don't want it going off for every notification. Otherwise don't choose an application and it'll go off for any notification:
event > UI > notification. Choose an application (optional) then have this profile perform Task 1.
To turn off the LED I have it go off when I turn the screen on.
Event > display > display on and have this perform Task 2.
I'm sure this can be improved but this is how I have it set up right now.

INTRO:
Using the steps mentioned in this post you'll be able to use the Moto G (2014) front notification LED for notifying you based on various triggers. Be careful while editing the files mentioned in this post. Lets begin....
INSTRUCTIONS:
Using your favorite File Manager navigate to the following file on your rooted Device:
Code:
[B]/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh[/B]
Now add the following lines at the end of the file: (Replace REPLACE ME WITH TRIGGER with the triggers provided at the end of the post:
Code:
# enabling LED based on custom triggers
echo "[B]REPLACE ME WITH TRIGGER[/B]" >/sys/class/leds/white/trigger
echo "1" >/sys/class/leds/white/brightness
Now choose the condition/trigger to activate the LED (I've only tested one trigger at a time. Multiple triggers may cause instability. Experiment at your own risk!):
TRIGGERS:
usb-online (lights up when USB connected)
battery-charging-or-full (full time ON LED when charging or charged)
battery-charging (full time ON LED when charging)
battery-full (full time ON LED when charged)
battery-charging-blink-full-solid (blinks until charged)
Now save the file and reboot and enjoy!!
Let me know your comments and suggestions below.
Cheers

Or you may root, modify the files and then do a full unroot. This will keep the changes on the device as well
Thanks for sharing! You can also use trickster mod to customize your led.
Is our led only white?
Sent from my XT1063/64 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes. There a re 2 LED actually under that light. One dim and the other one is bright.
But No RGB... It is only White!
Interferes with LED activity on notifications?
First off, I love this mod - I really like my phone LED to show me my phone is charging But when I set it to show charging, it seems to prevent any incoming messages or emails from activating the LED notifcations. (I tried both the solid LED & the flashing one. Note that with the flashing-on-charge option, the led seems to keep flashing when I unplug the charger before the battery is full, no matter what I do -kind of annoying!)
So - anyone know how to use these settings so that the LED indicates charging AND still responds to event notifications?

It doesn't matter that it says rgb because the led is a white led and won't do colors.

I got the red led to show up but i need to somehow increase the brightness
In terminal type:
Su
Echo /sys/class/leds/rgb/trigger
Then download an led controll app like light manager open an task change color to red an press test then turn off the screen and you will see a red led light up under the speaker.
It is hard to see it even at night so you will have to look closely to find it.
The red light you're seeing is the infrared distance sensor that turns the screen on and off when you're in a call.

I want to show led when my phone charged full and when I connected any USB like pen drive so I used battery-full and usb-online trigger but my led blink even my phone not fully charged and led not blink when I connected any USB pen drive any solution?
its not working for me . i copy pasted it and replaced the trigger but doesnt work. i did reboot btw
Trickster mod from the playstore has led control.
You can even set your led to flash with disk activity, just like your computer! Neat! Jk but yeah.

If the red light is between the speaker and the display, its your proximity sensor.

Today I received my 5x everything is good except pne thing, I cant see notification led blink yet. I suspect if it's broken. I have also enabled pulse led under sounds and notification.
Can anyone confirm if the led lights up while charging or not.
or how do I test the led?
There is no led notification for charging. Just test if you get the led light blinking when you got a missed message or not.

thanks for confirming. It now works for notifications after a restart for some weird reason.
You have to enable it. It doesn't come enabled. I find the notification light as well as ambient display not work 100% though

Use the app light flow from the play store to customize the led, I use it with no problems. But like stated above it comes off by default.

Hi all~
Just got my 5T yesterday, but it seems that LightFlow is not working properly to control the notification LED.
Anyone figure out how to set it up to work or is there any other good alternative to customize the notification LED?

Have you not tried the built-in LED color customization? Just wondering.

It's still very similar to what I got from my OnePlus 3, not so customizable.
I prefer per app notification LED customization.
The in-built LED control is absolutely inferior compared with what you can achieve with an app like LightFlow, which allows you to customize the LED color and blinking pattern on an per-app basis. It is even possible to have the LED circle through different colors if there are multiple notifications.
@J12894 Can you describe what exactly does not work on our 5T?

The LED just wont work according to my setting. It will simply "eat" the notification, and don't show any LED.
The notification will show up and then disappear. And I am sure it is "eaten" by LightFlow as if I disable it, there is no such issue.
When I tried "All enabled LEDs Test", with some setting, it will either not show any LED or just show the blue color.
I'm using Light Manager Pro and it seems to be working correctly.
+1 for Light Manager
Im having no problems with light flow. I am using legacy mode, though
I want to use lightmanager too but when I test the notification it show "You must unlock screen to allow led notification" but my screen is unlock because I'm set light manager.
What is wrong.

Hit ok, then press the power button. It should take like two or three seconds for the color to show up in the notification LED. It's just to test what you set up.
Then unlock your screen again and set up the next one.
Thanks
I got BlinkerLED working without any problems.

I am using Light Manager, but I am unable to adjust the blinking speed. So it's always the same, no matter what I select.
Not that it's a huge issue, but would like to know if that's adjustable.

Speed cant be controlled on OnePlus devices as you can do it on Note 8 or S8, I dunno why its so weird though!
Hello,
I'm using this app to turn on the Notification Led on my Moto G6 Plus: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.itsmeton.motoledenabler&hl=nl
U need root but it works perfectly, i was just wondering if someone could modify it so it only turns on the Led when the screen is off, and maybe make it a bit more reliable.
Thanks in advance.
I'm genuinely curious, where is that led on the g6 plus?

Have you had that app long? I tried using it on my G6 (non plus) and it kept crashing and trying to restart only to fail. The settings wouldn't save and the led was sporadic when it worked.
Late on this, but since it was never answered, all Moto g's have a usable notification light that can be toggled with run shell action in Tasker with a rooted phone. The one on the regular G6 is pretty tiny, and blue colored only, but it's nice to have. The one on the g3 is white and brighter than the g6.
In tasker:
Run shell
echo 255 > /sys/class/leds/charging/brightness
turns it's on
Run shell
echo 0> /sys/class/leds/charging/brightness
turns it off
Just add a wait action in between. Combine that with a profile event>Notification received and state>Display off and it will only work when the screen is on. You can also toggle the front camera flash with Tasker using Java functions without root. I have mine set so the front flash and back torch flashes together when a notification is received to get my attention if the phone is nearby and then it switches to notification LED if the notification is still active since it's more battery effecient.

The LED is designed to be a "sign of life" light, as in your phone is so dead when you plug it in the screen wont turn on but the light briefly flashes to let you know that it is charging. My guess is that the rom you're using (which I'm not at all familiar with that specific rom to be clear) has disabled that or changed the parameters and that's why it's not working. I would ask the devs.
You could try echo 1 instead of echo 255 just to see if it works, doubt it will make a difference but worth trying
For the regular moto g6 the rom development is almost non-existent so I can't experiment with it myself.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion. echo 1 doesn't work (as you suspected)...
I've installed lineage os 17.1 on my Moto G6 plus, and this ROM have a full usable notification led, you can modify the led brightness and the apps, I was very surprised when a friend send a WhatsApp and the led starts to Bright

How did you enable it using EX kernel manager?
I've tried this. It doesn't blink. Within the software, the Charging LED doesn't have a blink option, only solid.
I'd personally set the LED to only be on when I've missed a call or text since I don't care about emails.
Yes, I remember it being the same way on the G7 Power, and then I found out that it had a LED by installing one of the custom roms which had taken the time to add some custom features allowing full control of it. If it can be solid, it can also blink, it's just a matter of programming it that way, perhaps a developer could figure it out.
