LED Control?

So, when I first got the phone and was running the stable Chinese ROM, I could use an app called "Light Manager Pro" to control the color of a notification LED for any particular app.
Now, I've flashed the unofficial global ROM, and it seems that app no longer can control my notification light. I've also tried "Light Flow," and if anything, it makes it worse (the LED doesn't come on at all when using that app).
The app has notification access, and it is an exception to MIUI battery saver (meaning it should run in the background all the time). Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Did you try the trick where you bring up the running apps/task manager and swipe down and select lock? (Presumably to keep it locked in memory)

This doesn't do anything. Something about how the app wants to control the LED is not how the phone wants the LED to be controlled (as an added note, things like "Flash Rate," have absolutely no effect on the LED when it does light up).

Anyone got it to work yet?

I've tried everything and can't get it

Use TIBU to make it a system app...only thing I can think to try. That's the only way I could get TeslaUnread to stay open.

I also like to configure the LED color but the Mi Mix led is so faint that I don't even bother.

Anybody manage to solve this yet. I haven't, and it's been quite a long time.

actually the LED light control app is not run on miui but it works well on samsung or some of huawei phone

Some question on OnePlus 3T and OOS 4.0 (coming from OnePlus One (COS or CM14.1)

1. Is there no way hide notification on lock screen for apps that's always in the notification bar (like Tasker or Call Recorder?)
2. I can't find anyway to turn of the screen by double tap the notification bar (like in COS or CM).

1. I'm using the payed version of call-recorder, and I can disable the notificationbar icon and notification.
2. Sadly this feature (or better gesture) is not availible in oos.

Call recorder is a widely used name for apps that record calls. I use the one from Skvalex, also payed version.
What I mean is that normally apps that shall stay active all the time needs to be in notification bar, but I rather don't see it when I only turn on the display with the lock screen.
In CM and COS I could deal with this with options like "never show for apps always in notification bar".

Hmm, I'm on 4.0 and havn't used call-recorder in the short time I was on 3.5.4, next time I'm restoring 3.5.4, I'll check and report back.

Stupid me! It was because I had no PIN set on the phone, I had no specific options for the lock screen.

Notification LED Discussion.l!

I was just roaming around to enable Notification LED.
So I've installed EX kernel manager and in Miscellaneous section I've found LED SETTINGS and the options... (Check yourself). I enable battery-charging-blink-full-solid. And as it says the led blinks while charging and freeze when my battery gets 87%!
I think we can use a init script for our purposes but i think that will not work with Notifications?
I know that there are many apps that can do this.
Give your thoughts please!

Yes. But hidden. You have to root the phone and then enable it

Always on display for notification?

Hello,
I know the pixel 5 has no notification led, but I read is supposed to have Always on display (ambient display?) to show notification when the screen is turned off.
Right know, I see no indicator at all for any kind of notification.
Do I need to activate it anywhere? I can't find anything about ambient display or always on display in the settings. Do I need external software like AOE or such?
Cheers

There is no such thing sadly. I use "allways on amoled" to turn the screen on if some notification comes in. Its free and easy to use

That sucks.
Can't believe this is still a thing in 2020.
btw I'll try to configure AOE and see what happens. :/

Er, the AOD shows notification icons for me... Do you have notifications on lock screen turned off, maybe?

No, "show notification on lock screen: show all the contents from notifications" (is translated, may be different)
What do you see exactly?
static/blinking icons on the black screen when the phone is turned off?
Is there a video showing this?

I see a large-ish digital clock, then on the next line the day/date, a weather icon and the current temperature, then on the next line (currently) three notification icons - Facebook, Gmail, and another random app. All centered on the black screen, all in white apart from the weather icon.

Same for me. I can see if there are notifications on the AOD

The Autor asked for a way to only turn the screen on if a notification comes in, not allways. And the Stock System doesnt has such an Option, you need to use a third Party App for this.

This is true, but actually my system AOD wasn't even working properly until I rebooted the phone.
After that, I saw the clock with wheater info on the lockscreen and yes, it has the notification icons too.
Then with the premium version of AOE I kind of achieved what I was asking for. So I disabled the clock and now when I got a notification, it blinks around the punch hole with different colours based on the app.

I just use the built in "Wake screen for notifications" setting. It turns the screen on when new notifications are received. Is that similar to what you're looking for?
Just make sure to have ambient display option "always show time and info" switched off.

Yes but it last only a few seconds. Then blackscreen (unless you show the clock/info panel).

I think you are looking for - under Settings/Display/Advanced/Lock screen = wake screen for notifications.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-5/themes/notifications-charging-ring-camera-hole-t4176509
And there is this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=host.stjin.cometin

this doesnt help, because when a message arrives, the display only a few seconds is activated. Then it switches off automicaly again.

Question Pixel 7 (notification light)

Can i get a notification light to blink if i root this phone?

AFAIK the Pixel 7 doesn't have a notification LED. Most contemporary smartphones don't and haven't for the past 5+ years.

I can do it with an app from google play, called aodnotify. I was just wondering if i rooted the phone anyway, maybe i could get it without the app.

Although not a root app, I recommend dynamicspot. It has a free version, simulates Apples' Dynamic Island, and does not use up a lot of screen real estate.

Rom evolution x has this feature built-in. And flash rom doesn't need root

Thanks for the info, guys.

that app has a completly different purpose then for example aodnitify.

For now, i'm sticking with aodnotify.

aodNotify could be great if the system wasn't killing its accessibility service all the time.
Any tips on this?
I'm only using it for turning off AoD if no notifications present.
And sometimes I can't wake the screen at all by just tapping. Only with the switch.
The FAQ even says to completely disable it in the accessibility options. But without that turned on the AoD switching doesn't work at all.
