App summary

Light flow allows you to take control of the notifications on your device.

It's main features are:
- Controlling the notification LED for phones that have them (cycling colors through outstanding notifications)
- Sound control, including repeating sounds
- Vibration control, including custom vibration patterns and repeating vibrations
- Android wear vibration support
- Sleep times
- Lock screen based notifications (on phones that support live wallpapers on lock screens)
- Contact specific notifications for certain notification types

If you've come from a Blackberry device and miss the features of BeBuzz / BerryBuzz then give LightFlow a try!

This app will allow you to control the notification color for the over 600 applications and system events such as:
* Missed calls
* Voice mail
* Calendar reminders
* gmail
* email
* SMS messages
* MMS messages
* Low battery
* No signal
* Google talk
* Facebook
* Twitter
...and many many more

See our website for a full list of applications supported:
http://www.reactle.com/p/features.html

It allows the colors to flash in succession, so if you have a new SMS and a missed call it can alternate between the two colors. You can also set which notification type has the highest priority and let it flash in just that one color.

It'll even push notifications out to your pebble smart watch, Sony smart Watch and the DashClock lock screen extension.

Known issues/Limitations
-------------------------
Samsung phones when accessibility is enabled may cause the phone to start talking, warnings about air view and a few other issues. These are confirmed samsung bugs (see here: http://developer.samsung.com/forum/board/thread/view.do?boardName=GeneralB&messageId=204387) but the app can be run without the accessibility service and still work (but with a reduced notification list)


Not all phones support all colors.
For example: Most HTC phones only support 3 colors and require "Rooting" and running the app in "direct mode"

Some phones can only light up the notification while the screen is off.

Some phones cannot have their notification light always on

Some phones cannot have their notification blink and it will always be on

Note that it will take over control of your notifications and you will therefore only get notifications for categories that the app allows.


★ We recommend you try the "lite" version first before purchasing to avoid any disappointment if it doesn't work for you. Some phones require root privileges to access the LEDs. ★

★ For the differences between this version and the lite version see here: http://www.reactle.com/p/features.html

★ If after updating you have problems we recommend you reboot your phone ★

** Most HTC phones require "direct mode" setting. Most gingerbread builds for HTC phones require root access due to HTC changing the permissions on the LED control files.

If upgrading from the "lite" version, please uninstall the lite version first but you can backup and restore settings between versions **

Used to be great, and for a long time. But not anymore, it's been abandoned. I got the paid version all the way back on the phone before my Galaxy S3, just at the cusp of phone makers starting to do RGB lights. And now they've gone the way of headphone jacks, replaceable batteries, and expandable storage (all of which that S3 had, and my current one does not). And so it goes with LightFlow. Even without notification light, I still used it for custom sounds based on the notification content. :o(

This is an Incredibly and the most useful app. I have been using this app since it's inception. I reply on this app every day, all day without exception. I would is the is the most single app that I reply on the most on daily basis on my phone even mush more than the SMS app. The only downside with the app is that it has not been update for quiet sometimes. Also, the developer has not been replying to my reporting within the past several months. I hope this app gets updated so works with A OS 12

I installed this on by BLACKBERRY KEY2 (from 2018 and also running ANDRIOD 8.1 in 2022) as soon as I found out the generic ringtones and sounds included w/ the device and software were not individually selectable per application, notification or contact. LIGHTFLOW PRO easilly allowed me to do so and just the little things, as the few elaborated about above makes the smartphone experience much more pleasurable! I would highly recommend LIGHTFLOW PRO!
