Apologies, didn't read op properly

Stock rom with yoda kernel
But the problem was still there with stock kernel (as far as I remember

After 3 days of irritation from that unpleasant speaking I have finally did a factory reset and everything is ok now, but I still want to know whether which thing was doing that

using LightFlow?

Go to Settings, Accessibility, Is there anything other than ''TalkBack''?

Blue, red, green (presumably an app could also provide mixed colours).
bought it juz for fun.
pleasantly surprised by the functions it offers.
a good buy definitely. doesnt cost a kidney too.
on my s3 when lightflow is on it activates talk back function when choosing home screen page. and talk back and driving mode are off :S
Yep - thats a bug (not with Lightflow) but elsewhere as this also happens with other apps that require Accessibility function.
Requires root or not?

I cannot seem to get it to work at all? Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Did you guys need to use direct mode?
Root isn't required.
Yes talk back is an android bug in ics that Google seem happy to ignore. Their support even blame the app devs such as ourselves (and the tasker devs) for the issue but will not reply once you challenge them. It's really frustrating!
I hope to get an s3 over the next week or so to see if there are any extra things I van hook into that Samsung have added to ics.
I have one person with the lte version of the phone and it seems that that doesn't work so well as all the colors are messed up. I hope it's a pre production bug.
New version of the app due soon with quite a few additions.

You need select the function from accessability. Untick led functions within settings and that's it. Let me know of that works.
I think the talkback issue is more of a touchwiz issue, as if you change the launcher to Apex there is no problem
Also i have totally removed talkback from my device... And i still habe the same issue.. So im quite sure what else to try

Had the same problem and had to do a factory reset.
Well I managed to pick up and S3 for development.
I've been playing around with the tackback issue. What is working for me at the moment is going into accessibility. Switching "ON" talkback. Then pressing the "settings button at the bottom".
Uncheck every checkbox in the settings.
Then switch talkback OFF again.
Could anyone else see if this helps for them?
New version of lightflow due very soon, just fixing up a few last bits for the s3 with the new version.

Tried the above still have the talkback bug only but it only seems to be touchwiz related i.e when I open folders on a homescreen or go into the homescreen manager. Seems that the bug appeared after I enabled tasker under accessibility settings.
pulsing led
If you turn on or off your s3, you can see the led actually pulsing blue and greenish... I wonder if an app could make the led pulse in the same way for notifications...

[Q] More LED options?

Just wondered if theres any apps out there which add more LED options? Maybe frequency and colour change?

"NOTE - the LED functionality does not work on most LG and Samsung phones."
Does it work with SGSIII?
Yes, it works, but unfortunately it looks like it causes huge battery drain.

I couldn't seem to get light flow (free) to work on my S3, or it didn't change the colour anyway. Does it need root?

Good point - I was going to root last night then thought I'd be screwed if something goes wrong with the phone!
yeah thats what im waiting for , really dont want to void the warranty on a few day old phone by rooting it
Well you can always restore the phone to factory settings, reset the flash counter and unroot which isnt that hard tbh and then nobody would ever no you rooted or flashed another ROM and to your warranty would be intact!
Im going to try out this app now cheers guys!

Is your phone rooted?
Can't get it to work properly, it will blink once when I get a text. Then it stops.

Go to lightflow and make sure that your SMS notification is set to stop "when notified app is open" (or something like that)

I have SMS setup to blink green. Here is what happens
Green light comes on
Screen turns on for like 5 seconds showing the lockscreen and the new message
Green light comes on for a short duration
Red light comes on even shorter.
No more blinks.
I recommend lightflow lite..it is free and work perfectly with sgs3

Your phone doesn't need to be rooted to run light flow.
The issue with SMS showing and then stopping is due to the way it's monitored.
The Samsung SMS app causes the app to pop-up when a new text comes in. Doing this causes lightflow to think the app has been entered and cancels the notification straight away.
Could you try switch on "alternate off monitoring". That's what's needed for some other apps the have a pop-up like this.
I've got an s3 to test this out on, but I haven't got around to cutting a sim card down yet to try out the phone functionality. I plan to do that before releasing lightflow release 3.
To avoid battery drain make sure you set "notification type" TO "Show latest only" in general settings of light flow.

Do you have Siyah kernel installed? There is a feature of Siyah that inverts the color palette by clicking the home key 4 times.

Nope..darkknight v1.9.1
According to the DarkKnight thread first post, it also has toggle MDNIE negative effect with home button.
Ctomgee is right, this is what's causing your 'problem' (unless you're using a build from months & months ago when this feature wasn't included).
Edit - Fixed link (it's 3am).
I didn't realize any other kernels implemented this, thanks MistahBungle!
It's obviously a Siyah ripoff if it has that feature (which begs the question; Why is it in 'Original' Android development ? But that's a question for another day/time/thread).

Ah thank you..so that toggle would be found in the recovery mode I assume?
Read that first line of my post that you quoted again. Slowly. The hint is in there. Or you can read the first page of the DarkKnight thread, which I would have thought you'd do if you were using that kernel. I guess people don't do that anymore.
Also read the last 6 words of Ctomgee's initial reply to you.

Please help !
My default browser screen is very dim, I do not have Browser>Menu>Colours>Change to Default in my default browser menu. And I do not have Brightness/colour settings in in the same default browser menu. I have checked all the power saving options in my settings menu and they are all disabled. The problem started after I was using the power saving option for about 6 hours. Before that everything was OK. I have tried restarting the device, clearing data and cache on the browser, nothing is working. Now I'm using Dolphin browser and the brightness is OK. I have 4.04 i9300BULG2 software version. Thanks in advance

Protected apps in EMUI 8.0 (Gravity screen for example)

Hi Guys,
I moved from IOS to Android with the lovely mate 10 recently. The feature I miss most is the raise to wake.
After trying different apps, gravity screen is the one that works the best.
However, after lock screen for more than few minutes, the screen wake up stop working.
When I charge my phone, it works 10/10, so i suppose it is related to battery saving features of the EMUI.
Anyone has any suggestion to fix the problem? I have so far tried "ignore battery optimization", "launch manually".
THe app tells me to use protected apps but I do not see anywhere in EMUI settings.
Have you tried toggles in settings>Battery>Launch>Select gravity app>Run in Background
warea said:

yes i have allowed all three launching methods. (self-trigger, triggered by others and running in background.
The problem seems to be the sensor being turned off after screen goes black for a while.

I have found out how to sort it out as per Rogerrynic quote below.
rogerinnyc said:
It's buried, but you have to "ignore battery optimizations" by going into settings, then apps, then clicking the setting button at the bottom of the apps page, then "special access" and then "allow" the apps you want to survive in "ignore battery optimization". At least that's how it's on my Mate 10 (non-pro), so I suspect it's the same for you.
