So, I was thinking about modding the kernel so that my notification LED can blink when the screen is on. (It currently works off-screen only).
Have it been done? [/] Can I get any help from the developers?
Pure nexus if I'm not mistaking has an option to make the led blink with screen on... What I'm sure is there was an app developed by a user which makes the led blink at sound rhythms. I was a beta tester
Here it is the free version https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.led.ledmusiceffect
The beta was working good on nexus 5, but I uninstalled it because for me was useless
Working!
It works and it has limitation.
However, that was a solution for me.
& the app is the best one of that category and it drains battery much (had to).

Maybe it's also a ROM thing, NitrogenOS Nougat 7.1 has this option and i'm currently using it without the included kernel but a custom one

Hi,
is there a possibility to change the notification-led settings? Like that the LED should shine instantly or blink so long till i unlock the phone?
Thanks...
(I´ve the One for 2 days now and want to install TrickDroid)
There's not much you can do with the led
And you should flash trickdroid
Hmm, but why? Is it not possible to change the kernel "a little bit" so you can config the led?
You can download a led app from Google play but you got to be rooted it doesn't work very well
There's also LightFlow, but apparently there's some serious compatibility issues with the One at the moment. Perhaps when there's an update.
so as of right now, there is no way to extend the duration of the flashing led notification without rooting? it really doesn't make sense that it would turn off after a few minutes. it seems obvious that it should remain blinking until you've viewed the notification...or is it just me? can this be done if the phone has been rooted?
I have no idea why, but today the LED notifications started to stay on when the screen is on. Stock rom with Xposed (GB and Xprivacy only) and Franco R32 kernel. I don't use any apps to control the LED (ie: LIghtflow). Weird.
its a feature of some kernels/roms i believe, find out if its a Franco kernel feature.
I have been running Franco R32 since it came out (over a month) and this just started happening. Maybe Google fixed something with a silent update.

No, it's not supposed to be on when the screen is on. My guess is that it's one of the xposed modules that are doing this. If you haven't changed those either, then I have no clue.
Led still flashes with screen on if the lock screen is enable you have to unlock it for the led to stop...
It happened to me too,green led notication for a Whatsapp message. I've unlocked the phone,read the Whatsapp message,but the led was still blinking...

If anyone can figure out how this happened, I'd like to know! I'd love to have my LED work with the screen on.

yeah i think it a feature of some roms and kernels i kinda like it
It's been happening to me off & on over the past weeks - haven't been paying close enough attention to the circumstances in which the led stays on. But I'm stock and, at the moment locked, so it's not a custom ROM or kernel. I do use Lightflow, but officially kitkat does not allow it to control the led with the screen on.
'tis a mystery!
Do any of you use this xposed module?
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mohammadag.xposedledcontrol
This module combined with other apps that requests app notification access would keep the LED forever stuck too. After that, I decided to stop running stock, and just run a ROM with built in LED settings.

I had this happen for a while when running Franco. I went back to stock kernel, no issues.

I purchased Light Flow mainly for a light for missed calls. Others may use it for more. I do have it working properly as should but only way I got it work under Device Root Setting enable Direct Mode.
Did anyone on N6 get it work without Direct Mode? What I want is the led to flash but all it will do stay solid in color.

I don't think anyone has gotten it to blink yet, it will stay solid. I have heard if you receive multiple notifications, it will flash.
I can confirm. It's only blinking when you have multiple notifications each with a different color.
I have issues with this app. Also with all root settings enabled led doesn't work properly. Sometimes it doesn't turn on and sometimes it doesn't turn off (in this case I must open the app to turn it off). I hope Dev will update this app soon.

Any battery drain with the light being on say for 30 min.

I had some issues with Light Flow too. The LED sometimes didn't work. Now i have found a "hidden" setting in the menu. In Accessibility (you have to scroll down) is an option "Light Flow". You have to turn this to on. Now my LED works as it should.
How can i get this to work with the basic standard messenger?
I have sms selected but so far no go. Everything else had worked so far
Didn't know the nexus 6 had working led light.
I didn't get the LED to work for incoming SMS neither. Maybe someone here has an idea how to fix this.

Hi Guys
When a notifications arrives and ambient display is enabled it is showed in the display but it only "blinks" like 3 times. Is there a way to keep it blinking until notifications are dismissed without rooting?
The problem with how it works now is that if it has been for example 1 hours since the notification arrival you can't see that there is something waiting for your attention without garbing the phone. I miss that from my Nexus 5.

I would like to see this as well, but I am assuming it will have to be built into a custom rom. I am using Light Flow Pro to light up the LED for now.

So you are rooted right?
Yes. I assumed you were too based on your name.

not yet. Thanks for your help. I guess root is the only option for now
It would be a cool feature.
Hello,
First of all im new to this scene so dont hate me for my lack of knowledge. Currently im running Cynaogenmod 12 on my Nexus 6.
In Stock of this CM the LED Notificatio Light is enabled. But this LED isnt blinking, just shining all time. Is there any way to fix that issue?
P.S.: Today I want to change to Chroma ROM and Vindicator Kernel. Anyone who knows if this issue is solved in another Custom Rom?
Best Greetings,
Barely_Alive
The LED doesn't blink natively, it has to be done via software.
There is a post in the general section where people were using LightFlow and perhaps using Tasker to accomplish this, I think there is a custom ROM that claims to have a blinking LED. My guess would be either way could potentially be a little buggy, in that it won't work all the time and/or probably wouldn't be too friendly on the battery, as your device has to stay awake for the software to tell it to blink.

Right, but there is some settings that can make it blink, I think they combined it with Tasker. There is a thread in general that was quite popular where they talked about it.
Edit: This one or perhaps this one talk about how to do it with light flow (and whatever else they use). This is the custom ROM that includes it
Great! Thank you for your help

MeanPop has a blinking LED for notifications if you don't mind a stock base.
