Would someone please tell me if there's a notification indicator on the phone, so I could see if a message has come in from across the room? I've seen reference to a flashing light on the top of the phone, but can't get confirmation of this. If it's there, is it effective? (There's no AOD, I don't think?) Thanks!
There's AOD and the pop up camera has a notification light

There is AOD I believe,
The notification light will be visible as a small ring on top of the pop up camera, visible only from certain angles bit not from front,
Suits me better because I just need to see from a away from the table after shower or when it's on charge
There is AOD? Oh, that's fantastic - thank you. I wasn't at all sure from the reviews. If it has AOD, I'm in. Can the notification light change colour, depending upon notification type?
There is aod , as far as i've noticed atleast on my blue version led in popup camera is blue color, didnt really noticed if it changes color.

Hi,
to get custom led notifications you need a rooted P2 and Light Flow (find it on google apps)
I want to thank Andrew Moore (Light Flow)for taking the time to look at this with me and pointing me in the right direction
New (upcoming) version of Light Flow supporting "large" numbers for RGB led brightness will be available soon. Otherwise you may want to edit the backup file as per this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/vibe-p1/how-to/led-fix-custom-roms-t3569108
1>Disable led notifications on you device (Display)
In Light Flow
1> enable Direct mode and root
2> enable rgb led
3> set the rgb brightness to any the following for your notification:
Bright red:13631488
Pale Blue:6316128
Crabapple Red (pink):11796512
Orange:12607488
Green: 35840
Cyan Blue: 32896
Sea Blue: 8388
Dark Purple : 3876477
Before Andrew put me in the right direction, I tried different brightness levels with mixed success. As you see from above, the numbers have no logical sense (at least to me).
If you do find additional colors, please post them in this thread.
HAPPY CUSTOM LED NOTIFICATIONS EVERYONE
Here are the "reference colors"
Works also on custom roms.Thanks for the guide!
Thanks for making the LED work! But I'm stuck at the brightness levels part... In the notification settings per app, under the light settings, I can only set 4 numbers and you give a whole lot more. What am I doing wrong?

As I said, light flow at the moment only supports 4 . Andrew (the maker of light flow) will update the app asap. If you are in a hurry., use the backup/modify./restore method mentioned in the first post. Just change the brightness level. It works.
Hi, any chance to set the red color too (the red color the LED shows when charging)?
Found it in the first post Sorry!
Useful 10x.
Thanks for the tip and tutorial, I got a bit confused on where to set the RGB colors (in the individual notifications) but it's working well now. Also the battery charged threshold was set at 90% by default so it popped up as green when I plugged in at 92%
It is only working in Test for me. Can someone send détailled settings?
Thanks
Did you make sure it was active? If it is you'll see a notification in the pull-down list.
This is really cool, definitely will use a custom Rom because of Light Flow.
Working thanks
Could someone tell me where I insert the RGB values?
I have a rooted Lineage 14.1, but all I can select is one colour with RGB enabled...
There is only one colour available per application, ie e.g. Signal has blue (which works), agenda as well, but Gmail has black... And that's not showing of course
Edit: I edited the settings manually and imported them again as suggested in the opening post, we'll see how that goes...
Does it work with free version of Lightflow?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlegacy
Works for me with the legacy version. But there is also a "light" version of the newest release.
Currently, I see heavy battery drain due to light flow; the device never goes to sleep. Maybe, this is different with the light version... I will try.
Edit: same battery drain issue with the light version...
This does not seem to work with the latest version of the app(I even bought pro). I followed all the steps but it never works. Is there something I'm missing? after enabling rgb control i setup a notification and in the setting's light tab i enable the light and set the rgb LED to solid and set the color to one given in the first post(none of them seem to work). I then use the test button but LED does not turn off(tried both - turning screen off and keeping it on). Any Help?
@Uibon
Me neither.
Edit: Legacy is working, but only when screen is off. I'm rooted of course rooted (Magisk) and I have the "screen on" option ticked.

The title says stock?
Those of you who reported it working, does it work when the screen is on as well?
Edit: Missed calls, incoming call and other things related to the system is working when screen is on. With Textra (and other apps?) it only works when screen is off.
Thanks for the instructions and links.
I bought the app (Just Rs 10).
Cant be more worthy purchase.
All working good.
hi can someone help i have been able to set a few app leds and they work properly but whats app i set to green but it is not working i have also disabled the led setting in whats app settings but still not flashing green for whats app message?
Is there any way to change the color of the notification LED on the Note 8 without root? I'd like to change it for each specific notification (gmail, missed call, text, etc.). I have tried Light Flow with no success.
I use light manager, have been using it for years.
On the note 8 it works well for notifications, and works for charging but not as well as previous phones.
What is funny is there is a "LED Icon Editor" in the Notification Access area in settings. When I click to allow it to access notifications it goes right back off. I can't find this app anywhere else on the phone.

This is actually for the LED Case which you can customise the LED notifications
For anyone finding this thread later, LightFlow works with the Note 8 without root

The problem with Light Flow on the Note 8, though, is that it appears that, even though I believe the LED is capable of RGB, it gets some colors very wrong. It may just be custom colors that are the problem.
Light Flow also now does a bunch of other stuff, aside from the LED. You can have it filter notifications based on pattern matching, make a different sound, repeat the sound, use a popup, add vibration. It does a bunch of Notification-handling stuff and is a bit simpler and more reliable (in my experience anyway) than trying to use a cobble of Tasker + AutoNotification.
I also use light flow and I've had no issues once set up although I do have the colour differences, e.g. select white and the led flashes a purple'ish colour.
Other than that it's been fine, negligible battery usage too.

That setting is for the LED wallet cover/case Samsung makes for the Note 8 and can only be turned on after inserting the phone is to that specific case.
I use light manqger, since S3, then, the colors were accurate, but in my note 4 note 7 and now with the note 8, I find the colors missrpresented, no white, but a bluish tone, no yellow, but a somewhat orange tint, etc, so, I guess the led is not capable to display accurate colors, but, for me, that is not a big deal, the available color suffice my needs

Sorry to bump a 2 year old thread but does Light Flow work for Facebook Messenger for you? I can't seem to get it to display blue color for Messenger no matter which app I use for changing LED colors.

No worries, although I don't think I can help.
I no longer use Messenger however I did used to be able to assign a colour of my choice to it, but who knows how the app has changed in the last couple of years. Not only that but I have a Note 10 now which has no led light :/ Sorry bud

Thanks for replying. I found apps that work but all of them make another notification which is seen on AOD and it just bothers me. Ended up with default LED light and custom Edge Lighting colors for each app with the Edge Lighting Fix App
I looked to see if I could find this answer on here and on Google please flame away if it's a repost. In the chroma app I set the led color to red. I tell it to pulse if I get a notification,but the pulse color is not the color I selected it is a light blue is this normal?
Thanks
The colour you set in Chroma is just for the passive effect. When you get a notification it tries to find the most prominent colour in the app's logo which sent the notification and uses that. It's meant to make it more useful than a plain old notification LED since you can intuitively determine which app sent the notification just by looking at it.
So yeah, that's normal

Gotcha I will pay closer attention to it seems a little odd to use light blue for Hangouts which is green. Maybe it's just not that accurate
Im used to the led light on my previous samsung phones. The s10 doesn't have one but people were asking samsung to implement the camera cut out light, others made apps and one that was interesting that was the AOD would activate only when there was a notification to open.
As im looking to switch to the s10, are there news on the implementation of the notification light or new apps? Do the current apps work well?
Thank you!
If you're only looking for an LED notification, Samsung has updated the Edge Lighting + settings within the Good Lock app to create an notification ring to display around the camera cut out. I have it set on my phone and it performs exactly to my liking.

I have read and seen videos on it when it was released but it only worked for a few seconds when the notification showed up and didn't keep "blinking" like the led/until you seen or open the notification. Its still like that right?
I'm not 100% sure about that. I rarely see my notifications right away and generally check my phone when I get back to my desk when at work.
Holey Light on the play store...
I have read that holey lights uses quite a bit of battery, i wanted something that didn't use as much.
There was this AOD app that would only show when there was a notification but i don't know how well it works

i can't seem to find a topic like this and it ****ing bothers me, why tf is nobody talking about the frontal led or whatever that is, so if you open the camera app and change let's say from back camera to frontal camera, there's a strip of light beneath the frontal camera that flashes, i've taken a closer look and it doesn't seem as a display thing, it actually looks like a proper led strip, why the **** can't we use that as our notification led? so far i've only seen it being used when you change camera modes, which is pointless, why not give an option to use it as notification led? and the second question, why the **** don't we have an option to change the back led's notification color? unlike some dude who said in another post that the led itself can't display different colors, i have no ****ing idea what phone is he using cuz mine has a lot of colors, like charging is yellow, calls are blue, messenger notifications are green, if you put on that flicker allong the song thingy there's the whole ****ing rainbow, so i know for a fact it CAN display different colors, now what i didn't get is why not having an option to choose what colors to display, like for example, change the calls to green and mess to blue? maybe someone can answer this questions to me cuz atm it seems pretty ****ing dumb to have the possibility yet not have an option to either use the frontal led which ****ing DOES exist but is used only in the camera app from what i can tell or change the back led's color which it CAN ****ing display yet there's no option for it, and thanks, sorry for being a lil butthurt but damn dudes this drives me crazy
That's not LED, it's just onscreen animation. Dunno about your other questions.
oh, thanks for the reply
You can chose LED color in whatsapp as far as I know

The reason could be a lot of phones don't use a led anymore is disappearing like 3.5 jack.
Since my last phones where Motorola I don't have any led about 5 years ago, you can put on always on display the real icons of the app at least for me is better because you can really see what app is showing a notification and choose if you wanna check it or not.
Useless and agressive post. Build your own fu***g phone with all your f***g suggestions.
Could it be the proximity sensor? lol
I'm crazy about that switching-cameras led animation too dunno exactly why nobody is talking since it's goddamn beautiful. It seems that the animation is attached specifically to the front camera, because if you let the stock camera in front camera when leaving the app, when you return to the camera app, it triggers the animation as well (it works when in lockscreen too), if you use face unlock and do what I said before, the animation triggers as well. Perhaps we can see the option for that to become a notification LED as the developing scene for the device becomes better, but maybe u could express your idea in a much more polite and less agressive way lol
