Lightflow doesn't work correctly on the M8, I tried for hours with this app to get things working properly for a continuous led. While I could do this there was always some caveat that would spoil it.
One of the problems is that notifications don't cancel until you hit the Lightflow notification icon the status bar. I don't want to be doing things twice to read a message and cancel a notification.

I use Recurrent notification manager in Play Store which works correctly and without root for overcoming the 5 min limit.

Light Flow is working great for me, except when the phone is charging. I'm not getting notifications while it's charging. I just get the standard amber solid light while charging, and solid green when charged. I used all the settings from the OP.

Are you sure you have unchecked LED notifications in screen settings? I have a Google Play edition, not sure if that makes any difference.

Yes, the phone settings, not app specific settings. There should only be one to uncheck.
Have you tried rebooting the phone? Sometimes I get a charging LED too, but it's pretty rare. In that case I just unplug and replug the charger or reboot the phone.

Go to Light Flow settings, then Sleep settings, then scroll to Charge settings and untick Enable charge settings. Then you will get notifications when charging.

The charge settings is not enabled as default and I assume he has not done it himself.

Light Flow seems to have a bit of a hard time clearing the notifications when I enter the app (eg: messaging app). Anyone knows how to fix this?

    This guide is written for Android 4.4 and whatever version of Light flow that was the latest at the time. The menus are not the same for the latest version, but the same settings still apply.

    1. Settings in Light flow
    Check Direct mode, Root mode and HTC alternative mode.
    If you are using Android 5.0, also check Run every command as root.

    2. Settings in Android
    Uncheck Flash LED notification under Display in settings.

    3. Settings for the specific notification
    Check Enable Mixer. Choose Solid or Flash under the color you want. Green and amber are the only colors that work.

    You can change the flashing pattern by changing the LED brightness. There are only two values that work AFAIK: 1 and 4 (2 and 3 works too but gives the same result as 1).
    It's possible to combine the two colors, one solid and one flashing. Note: solid green and flashing amber is not the same as solid amber and flashing green. It is also possible to combine two flashing colors in one specific combination, check list below.

    This gives us a total of 11 combinations:
    Solid green
    Solid amber
    Flashing green, value 1
    Flashing green, value 4
    Flashing amber, value 1
    Flashing amber, value 4
    Solid green + flashing amber, value 1
    Solid green + flashing amber, value 4
    Solid amber + flashing green, value 1
    Solid amber + flashing green, value 4
    Flashing green, value 4 + flashing amber, value 1

    All combinations are not easy to see but since the options are very limited it's always nice to have more to choose from.
    If this helps you, please click the thanks button!
