So I don't know if it's on here or not but I came from a Samsung phone and so anytime a notification will go off it would flash a green light does the OnePlus 9 pro have that same feature or some type of light that could flash when a notification is on the device? Perhaps maybe there's some type of a magisk module that can utilize the camera ring around it to flash when there's a notification if it helps I am on a custom ROM. So I'm not sure if stock has it. Thanks.
On recent OnePlus phones, you'll find a function called Horizon Light (it basically lights the screen's borders when a notification is received), that is used for similar purposes, but there isn't a notification LED in the hardware.
I'm not sure if it is a function that is still in your custom ROM, but it is a stock ROM function.
Yeh, only aware of built-in horizon light , but it doesn't flash long enough to catch it....
Geez, how I miss the LED notification lights that older phones had.
Especially the ones that were multi-color so you could assign a different color for different notification types.

Technically, it wouldn't be impossible to recreate it with an app dedicated to modify the always on display features.
As AMOLED screens are basically tiny LEDs side by side, we could imagine a way to light or pulse specific ones to remplace the "missing" one. But it would be a trade-off, as those selected LEDs would be functioning and aging surely more quickly than the others.
There are a few apps out there that will use the AOD to create the appearance of a notification light or even continually flash the Horizon light bars and other custom lighting options however all 3 I've tried were glitchy and obviously drained the battery since it's using AOD to accomplish the notification light. Maybe if you're already used to AOD battery drain it wouldn't be so noticeable but I don't use AOD normally so the difference was very noticeable to me.

Yes, it's also a thing to consider, but I don't think the memory and power usage for only a black screen and a color dot would be that energy consuming. Did you notice a change that big when you gave a try to those apps?
look for notifybuddy on the playstore. works fine on my OP9Pro.
I didn't realize how much i relied on the notification light until it was gone. The AOD fits my needs, tho. Posted settings on another thread awhile back: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/horizon-light.4371367/#post-86085187
I may give notifybuddy a try, too
Would recommend this app. I've been using it on my oneplus devices last couple of year. There are a lot customizations too.
LED Blinker Notifications
i REALLY missed my notification LED (the last phone I had that had it was my old blackberry priv) then I got a smart watch and I don't care so much anymore

I'm glad that a Samsung high-end international Android smartphone finally has a good RGB notification LED, but the way it's been implemented in the Galaxy Nexus is pretty damn poor.
1) The blink rate is terrible. On my Motorola Milestone, I'd come back into the room and take a quick look at my phone to see if the LED is blinking. With the Nexus, I have to bloody stare at it for 10 seconds.
2) No customisation options. What's the point in having a white light for both my text messages and emails? At least Whatsapp lets me choose different colours I suppose...
Now, I know there are applications out there that can provide remedy to these issues, but this is another thing that I don't want to rely on third parties for...
So, my question is this: Will Google be fixing the Galaxy Nexus' notification LED, or will I have to resort to using Lightflow?
Its not broken. You're comparing it to a different phone that had an oem overlay. It's there for developers to utilize for app features. Now you can edit the code to make the blink rate faster just like the rom I'm running (bamf wookie) has that edited. But google will probably not be doing anything further than the way it has already been implemented.
good day.

I know you said you don't want to go 3rd party, but I think LightFlow might be one of your few options. I just set it up today, and can tell you that the "Very Fast" setting on LightFlow makes the LED blink every second. So far I am very impressed with the customization options of LightFlow and might even purchase the full version soon.

Compared to the hardware of the last Nexus device, the Nexus S, with no notification light, this is definitely an improvement.
It would seem logical to implement controls for the LED notification features in the Settings panel. From a technical stand point, the only downsides I can see to adding support for this feature into AOSP would be not all devices will support it.
As far as I've seen, and I could be wrong, the majority of LED control is performed through the specific sysfs structure setup by the kernel. Controlling the LED through this route require root access so if the third party apps control the LED w/o root access, I might be a bit behind the curve.
If you were interested in moving the ball along, all of the ICS source code is public being part of AOSP. Theoritically you could work on implementing controls for it in the Settings.apk AOSP file and send your changes to Google requesting they add it to their official AOSP repo.
In the end, I do agree. Adding controls for a LED notification light, when a notification LED is provided in the hardware, to AOSP shouldn't be *that* difficult.
Apparently this hasn't been a priority yet but hopefully now that the official Google device has a notification LED, they'll move in the direction of adding at least some simple stock controls for it.
Is there an official site for this aosp code? I goggled it but didn't knife which link is the official download site. Running GNex Sprint.
Sup Milestone buddy .
I've long since decided that Light Flow is literally the only way you can get the gsexy's LED to function the same way it did on the Droid1/Milestone. You should try it or at least try Galaxy Nexus LED (on Play, it's free) first.
install lightflow
I agree with OP. I know it's all about finding the workaround, but workaround's and third party fixes are not always the satisfactory answer. It would be nice to have out-of-the-box notification light controls.
Didnt see any info on this, i was wondering if there is a way to control how fast the little ball notification at the bottom was able to be controlled. I loved on my evo that i could set it to fast so a quick glance would tell me if i had any new notifications. Just seeing if this has been implemented on the GNex yet.
Thanks
There is absolutely no way that you didn't see any info on this unless you just didn't search. It's been discussed 1000's of times.
Download Light Flow (Free) or Light Flow (Paid).
Paid gives you the option to let the light "change up to every 2.5 seconds".
everyone is going to say light flow
light flow. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...29uc3VsdGluZy5hbmRyb2lkLmxpZ2h0Zmxvd2xpdGUiXQ..
Yea, lightflow however it is said it might eat a bit of battery, shouldn't be dramatic though.
On the other side, it would be awesome if Google would add a native feature to control the LED color the same way it allows you to select ringtones for Messages, Calls, Emails...

It seriously does not effect battery life.
Hi forums,
TL;DR: Could turning up the color-settings in TricksterMOD cause burn-ins?
I recently got my GNex and after fixing the SIM-tray making the phone usable again I of course unlocked the bootloader and flashed ROMs and Kernels (atm CM10.2 latest nightly + Franco kernel) and I use TricksterMOD to make some specific settings (like turning FSync off) and I also found Settings for screen colors, now what I did is just turn those sliders up all the way and set all other options (like Contrast and Gamma) to 0 (as seen on the attatchment), now I have an extremely vibrant and colorful display without this annoying blue-tone everywhere, even whites look more natural now but I've seen some AMOLED-Phones (specifically 2 GS2s from friends) that have things like the Status Bar or the keyboard burned in into the Display and now I worry that that could maybe happen to my Phone as well because of the settings.
I'd like to know your experience and if you think that that's possible, if so I'll turn them down even though I really really love this display now, it's literally the best display I've ever owned (and I have two IPS Monitors in front of me right now)
I'm using a completely black theme over most of the Phone (black status bar of course, black keyboard, black menu-elements, dark backgrounds, saves Battery and looks insanely awesome on this display) that should prevent burn in's from for example the keyboard since black pixels are not lit, but I want to know if it's more likely if the display is brighter due to the settings.
Sry for this long post but you've got the short version at the top if you don't want to read everything
Thanks for your time and help in advance!
Greetings from Germany.
So I got a OP3 recently and coming from OPO CM13 had some features that didn't work like I wanted or didn't have options in the stock ROM so I installed sultanxda's wonderful OP3 ROM. What I did not realize was that the camera software is a lot worse than what the stock ROM offers, so I was thinking of going back to that if I can get the following things working in some other way:
Notification light color per app. I used Light Flow for this back in the day, is it still a good choice or is there something better?
Disable the stupid charging lights. I'd rather not have the room light up at night just because my phone is charging.
Change DPI to 440 so I can fit more stuff on screen.
Rearrange on-screen buttons. I like the back button in the center. Not a big priority, just nice to have.
Adjust vibration intensity.

I can hopefully solve some for you:
* Charging light can be disabled if you turn off the led, and use some third party app for the notifications.
* You can swipe back and recents but can replace home button with back button unless u use xposed
* Vibration intensity can be increased by using a custom kernel tuning app like Boeffla app // EX Kernel manager app etc
install xposed framework with gravity box and vibration tuner module

Hi guys
I was thinking if it is possible to use finger print scanner LED as a notification LED? I know it may not be currently possible but just floating the idea for the devs who make things possible all the time
I know the LED is huge to be used as notification LED but some people would love to have an LED instead of a ringtone or vibration alerts, thanks in advance for any help in this regard
I don't know if this is possible but this is a fantastic idea.
If this is actually possible it would be awesome!
Great idea, but is there really a separate LED ? I had always assumed that the FP uses the green lighting from the display itself....

Yes I thought it was like that.
I think it doesn't matter if there's a separate LED to light up the display or part of the screen itself is used as a notification LED, but I think all possibilities are there, to choose the color, random colors each time or per app, position on the screen etc...
I don't really see the point in using those specific pixels as a notification LED when any other pixels on the display work just as well. And if anything, you'd want to avoid lighting up the fingerprint pixels too much since they are being used more at high brightness and therefore more susceptible to burn-in.

I want one to do like Samsung's edge lighting. That with Pixel Pulse would be perfect.
Amy work on this?
I disabled fps on my 6t because of the annoyingly high brightness of this green circle when your finger is close!
I don't think there is a led, I saw a video where they open the 6t and access the sensor module, it's just a camera sensor under the screen, the amoled brightness is boosted in this particular part of the screen, that's all.
Thanks God they didn't use a laser light, half the people would go (really) blind.
You can use an app like noled to simulate a led anywhere on your screen.
What about this app?

Yes, that is the app that a lot of us have been using with no issues. You just have to go into the settings and tweak it to your likings.
