You are missing a notification LED on LG G6?
You don't use the AlwaysOnDisplay (AOD)?
You are using Tasker?
I have a solution for you.
The AOD screens goes on if you have a new message and goes off after reading that massage.
Beside the newest version of Tasker you need additional the app Tasker Settings
I have attached two files "AOD_ON.tsk.xml" and "AOD_OFF.tsk.xml"
These are the Tasker task which turns the AlwaysOnDisplay on and off.
How to import these XML as Tasker task: read this XDA thread
Now you have to add 2 new profiles in Tasker
Profile 1 - Notification
Go to the Profile tab in Tasker, and press the "Plus" (+) button
Choose: EVENT - UI - NOTIFICATION ... you can choose now an app (owner application) let's say WhatsApp (you can choose more than one app)
Related task : AOD_ON
Important : leave all the fields TITEL, TEXT, SUBTEXT etc empty.
Profile 2 - Notification removed
Go to the Profile tab in Tasker, and press the "Plus" (+) button
Choose: EVENT- UI - NOTIFICATION REMOVED ... you can choose now an app (owner application) let's say WhatsApp (you can choose more than one app)
Related task : AOD_OFF
If you don't want to be notified in the middle of the night by AOD, you may have that Profile only active during daytime. Short tap the Prolie name, long tap the profile description. A new window pops up, choose ADD. A new window pops up, choose TIME. You can now define in which period of the day the profile is active.
LG G6 settings: Notifications/ LOCK Screen / do NOT choose Hide all notifications !
It works for me on LG G6 (H870)
Have fun
EDIT: for SMS & MMS add Contacts, Phone App and (if possible) SMS App to owner application in Tasker Profile
For missed calls you need to add 'Calling Accounts' apart from Phone app.
Here are the steps how to add this: (thanks to user Vitoski, who found out)
1. Click on the 'Owner Application'
2. click 'ALL' button at the right bottom corner
3. Select 'Calling Accounts'.
4. click back twice and tick to save changes.
EDIT : If you like to have a brighter AOD , please read this useful post added by user vitoski
Many thanks for that!
Thanks a lot to users Dracushor87 and Vitoski for testing and giving hints and ideas!
Edit : new versions of AOD_ON and AOD_OFF tasks
martmarq great post - thanks a lot!
I've been using AOD with Tasker since two days now and in most cases it works fine. It kicks in when the notification shows up and turns off when I remove the notification.
However sometimes the AOD turns on itself, even if there was no notification registered in the system. These are the two situations in which I have spotted this:
# when you go to Display Settings and click on three dots next to AOD - you don't need to change anything in there, just go there and back to homescreen.
# when you connect phone to the charger. Even when you disconnect it, the AOD stays on.
# under some other circumstances which I was not able to pinpoint right now
So, have you observed the same?

When you connect the phone to the charger, there is a notification.... therefor AOD should go on.
You can manage that by choosing apps (owner application) in Tasker. That solved the problem for me.
That might also solve the other circumstances.
I don't have that problem with the display settings... I have just tested that.

Have you used specific apps which notifications you monitor within the profiles or left it blank (none of the apps is selected)? This is the way I made it and I suspect it may causes all of those issues I described. Definitely will test it, but thought I'm gonna check it with you

Yes, I have activated only the needed apps like WhatsApp, Email and so on.
I have edited the first post, because for SMS you need a new profile (see above)
for me, sms notifications work without creating a separate profile. i only added the Contacts app to the list ( with Phone app )

Are you using any 3rd party Phone/Contacts app or sock one? For some reason it doesn't work for me with stock application.
I have selected both (Contacts and Phone) applications and it doesn't activate AOD when I have a missed call
i have stock apps. for missed calls, i did the 3rd profile with phone missed call event. last night i had a missed call , but with a whatsapp message, and i thought that the profile is good. but today i checked it, and it doesn't work without a separate profile.

@martmarq can you please add it to OP once other confirm if this works for them?

A tasker profile is only activated when it is triggered.
If you produce a profile like "active between 8 o'clock and midnight" does that work for you?

What is Recent Plus!?
It is a small app in an early state that replaces the "recent apps" dialog that appears when you long-press the home button. It shows the recently opened apps as before but additionally shows a volume slider. See screenshots. Requires CM7.
UPDATE: Recent Plus in Market
Why?
As you all know, the nook color is a wonderful device but it is lacking hardware buttons. A typical and really nice remedy is to install keysmod / Hard-key editor and bind the volume buttons to back and menu. Problem: you can no longer easily change the current volume while in an app, especially when it is running in fullscreen.
It started with this post and I am now moving it here.
Requirements:
* a device running a recent nightly of cyanogenmod 7
Installation:
(0. install the keysmod so you have back/menu instead of the volume buttons)
1. install the apk that is attached to this post, UPDATE: Recent Plus in the Market
2. go to "Settings", "Cyanogenmod Settings", "Input", "long-press home settings": check "Use custom application" and then choose "Select custom application", tap "Applications" (yes, another tap here in that list! This is the first entry), finally select "Recent Plus!"
3. done. Now you can long press home to switch apps and change the volume
TODOs/Problems:
1. Not sure what happens with devices other than the nook and/or different roms
2. The number of recent apps can not be configured yet
Looking forward to your feedback!
History:
v0.7: (July 9, 2011)
color application label by status (white: running, gray: suspended, dark: closed) - can be turned off
fixed a force close bug when switching to apps in certain states
instead of force closing display an error message instead
Recent Plus in the Market
v0.6: (Apr 12 2011)
optional brightness slider (see settings)
v0.5:
crappy looking settings menu
select which volumes you want to control in the settings
v0.4:
fix android compatibility mode messing up the layout
v0.3:
visual stuff (Button background, longer app names)
different button layout in landscape/portrait
more apps
v0.2: initial release
(reserved)
Excellent app. My only problem is I cannot add recent plus as a custom application. I followed all of the steps exactly. Any advice?

Ok, I figured out why I was only getting a small window that couldn't fit everything... I turned off Compatibility Mode in Spare Parts and now the Recent Plus window is big and works properly.
Does anyone have this working right at the default "on" setting for Compatibility Mode?

Worked fine for me. I also notice that there's an option in the settings to "show recent apps title". I unchecked it, but it still shows the title of the recent apps. Maybe you guys can work something out of it. Like having Compatibility Mode and still show the volume slider.
And, thanks.

Works great. Landscape mode works well too. Only thing id like to see is it control the complete system volume, not just media. You really have a great handy app. Is this only compatible with cm7 or is there future plans to have it work with other builds.

Well, I can change it to affect all or only some of the different volumes. The thing is that I am not sure what is the best thing to do. The normal volume button is aware of the context and only changes that volume but I am not sure how to do that.
I don't like the idea of adding several sliders on the screen. Would having a settings menu to decide which volumes are affected help? Opinions?

Well, the app itself is independent of the rom, but you need a way to launch it using a hardware button. I am not aware of a way to do this without support in the rom. One might be able to do something like "tap home -> launch recent plus", "double tap home -> go to home", not sure. This is similar to the softkeys behavior...

Personally i would be fine with it doing full system volume, for my usage i dont think i need the ability to control different volume's. a settings option would be best for all around functionality for all users. i would suggest you hide it (press menu in app for it to show up) a settings menu would also give you ability to add features in the future if you choose so. I think there are people out there who would like this screen to do more then it does now. Myself all i want is a volume slider, This is much cleaner then having to use any other apps ive tried.
Thank you again for your hard work. This is going to be a staple apk, on my nook

A button to either pop out a selection menu or even to simply step through the different volume types with multiple presses might work. Tucked away behind the Menu button would make for a cleaner UI, though.
Media volume is the critical one to have by default, though, at least on a phoneless tablet... How often do people really have to change their Notifications volume on the fly? Adding a way to select the other volumes could certainly increase the app's usefulness outside the NC community, as well as to anyone who does constantly adjust the other volumes, though.
An option to adjust ALL volume levels with one slider would be very helpful, for instance when using with headphones -- see below.

Yeah, about that... I was listening to music at a nice comfortable level using headphones, when I received an email... since RecentPlus only adjusted the media volume, the notification sound was deafening and had my ears ringing for a few moments.

Yeah, that was one of the first things I did with CM7 as I love that feature on my phone... and I've got Not, Ring, and Alarm all set to play on speaker -- however -- have you actually tried the "always play on speaker" feature?
I've got two NCs here, and it doesn't work on either one -- most recent: CM7n30.
Can other folks confirm that this feature is working properly?
Edit: Based on some experimentation with Tasker just now, I don't think the NC hardware is actually capable of determining when headphones are plugged in.

Hello,
I have a rooted Nexus 5 with stock rom.
I tried to use xposed module "flying android", it works when I start it within apps overview, but not as explained in the video by pressing long the home button. I always get the google now icon.
Could anybody help me please?
Thank you!

After installing and enabling Flying Android, you need to launch "FA Toggle" to move the window of the Activity. But this module does NOT provide any way to launch it. So you should prepare other apps to do it such as Gravity Box, SwipePad, etc. In the demo movie, I use Gravity Box to show "FA Toggle" on the Navi-ring (popup when long-pressing the home button).
Oh ok, I understand.
Thank you!

Thanks for your message, I fixed the bug at version 0.6.1 already uploaded.
0.6.1 is not working correctly. I can't control the black list: the checkboxes for each app don't work. The "Show only black" checkbox works. But once I open the black list, Flying Android stops working correctly until the next time I reboot my phone: when I fly an app, the fly window turns into Flying Android's app window, and when I unfly, my context has been switched to FA. If I reboot and don't open FA, it works correctly.
In addition, with 0.6.x, I'm now able to fly gReader and my phone app, which I couldn't do before.
Also, AquaMail now flies, and Firefox flies without displaying messed up graphics.

OK, I revert Black list's layout to previous version. And FA Toggle's behavior you said is probably Android's specification. Because FA Toggle is an Activity within Flying Android package, it brings another Activity within same package to top of app's stack if the another Activity is running on background. I think FA Toggle's flag is bad, but I couldn't fix it. Therefore, please exit Flying Android's app by pressing Back key before fly.

My Galaxy Note's phone app still cannot fly. And Firefox works correctly even if flying.
I feel that model-dependent behaviors are increased on version 0.6.x. I also received a report that FA's icon is displayed on the top if FA is enabled on HTC's phone.
With 0.5.6, I couldn't even use my phone app. I don't mean flying it, I mean it wouldn't work and I couldn't answer calls with FA enabled. I'd have to disable FA in Xposed and then reboot to make a call. But now it's ok.
Is it possible to add an option to disable FA without having to reboot? I've seen other Xposed modules that have a disable feature.

Could you answer calls with 0.5.6 if appends the phone app to the black list? It works as FA is disabled if the app is added to the black list.
Now, I uploaded FA version 0.6.3. The new version can change settings without rebooting, requires to recreate Activity instead.

No, I had the phone app and contacts blacklisted, along with the system phone app (blacklisted by default?), but I simply could not use my phone, except in a very limited way. The phone app would pop up a warning dialog, and if I dismissed it, the phone call would disconnect. Plus, I couldn't use the keypad at all.
0.6.3 has a similar problem, and I've discovered that 0.6.2 doesn't work properly with the phone app, either. I've blacklisted the phone app and com.android.phone. I can make a phone call, but the screen goes black and then com.android.phone pops up an FC dialog. The phone call continues, but if I dismiss the dialog, the phone call will cut off. At that point, I see the keypad again and can make a new call, but the same thing happens. Also, there's a persistent notification of an ongoing phone call that I can only clear by rebooting my phone.
The other features of 0.6.3 look good and I haven't seen problems with any other apps yet.
EDIT: I want to suggest a new feature: fly the pull-down notification window. When I open notifications, I can't clear them one-handed because I can't reach the "clear" button.
Thank you for details. I have understood the problem as last. In version 0.6.4, I fixed the bug that cause to FC in call on Galaxy. I tested by Galaxy Note, but I think that other Galaxy devices are same behavior.

The "in call" bug is fixed on my Galaxy S4. So I took the phone app contacts off the blacklist, and they fly correctly. The pin options look good, and option changes take effect after restarting apps that were already running so that we don't have to reboot.
EDIT: suggestion: I only find the pin function useful in a few apps (that do internal scrolling). It's annoying to display the pin for apps that don't need it because I might accidentally touch it. So I suggest a whitelist for the pin function.
@tkgktyk: I got a cycle reboot at sony ericsson ray (os 2.3.4 stock)
It doesn't work well with ezPDF, so I had to blacklist it. When you view this app's recent items list, FA changes the list's coloring to mostly white so that it's hard to read. I guess that has something to do with the "Force set window background" feature, which I have checked. Then, when you fly ezPDF while in the recent items list, it takes two clicks to un-fly it completely. I don't really need to fly this app, but if the bugs associated with ezPDF are fixed, I imagine it will make FA work better with other apps, too.

give me some hints/advice and I'll try again.

ezPDF is fixed.
EDIT:
The status bar pin mostly works. But after I fly it once, the next time, it won't fly until I touch the pin two times. The same behavior when I un-fly the status bar without dismissing it. To re-fly it, I have to touch the pin two times.
The pin white list doesn't work. I white list an app, but all apps continue to show the pin. When I return to FA to check the white list, it shows no whitelisted items, so white list selection isn't sticking. I tried rebooting, but that doesn't fix it.
Also, the pin behavior changed as of a couple of versions ago (I forgot to mention it). I want to pin the app Solid Explorer, which is a file browser. Previously, when I pinned it, I could then scroll the file list inside the pinned, flying window. But now when I pin it, I can't scroll the file list: the flying window is just pinned in place until I unpin or unfly it.
@tkgktyk: I will try.
the status bar doesn't fly if it only contains ongoing notifications.
This is my second Z2, as the previous model showed issues which I thought (hoped) were hardware related. The latest issue is that the green phone symbol below the dial pad is gone. That means I can only call via the contact list. What also looks strange is that the menu in the right lower corner has 8 lines but two of them are empty. From top to bottom it has (translated from german): hide dial pad - <empty> - <empty> - hide call protocol - clear call protocol - speed dial settings - filter call protocol - activate answering machine. Is that normal?
The phone is rooted, runs Xposed and Greenify. I'm not doing anything different from my old Z1 which ran flawlessly. I did remove a few apps I don't need in the recent past (facebook, socialife, vine, path, etc) via Titanium Backup. I've just restored all of them but the phone button is still gone. Firmware is 402.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Torsten
P.S.
The other issues I had with the old and now the new phone is that after a while music & phone calls played via earphones anymore (noise cancelling still works) and that bluetooth connection with the car is lost once a call is attempted. Both can be cured by shutting the phone off and on - rebooting is not enough.

DPI is unchanged - reinstalling the ftf sounds good - unless it doesn't wipe my current installation & data.
Thanks!

Did you use one the the xposed apps to hide the Nav keys ? This will also hide the dialer button sometimes. Does it appear in Landscape ? Disable xposed first before re-flashing a new FW

Oh my... You're the man! I was just connecting the USB cable to start flashing when I saw your comment. It's correct, I disable the nag keys via Gravity Box and going to landscape mode indeed brought back the missing button. Now I need to find another way to get rid of this keys (using pie controls instead) w/o losing the phone's most important feature
Many thanks again!

Instead of disabling the nav bar I set its height to 0. Problem solved.
Thanks for this information. It's really helpful. At first I thought that it was xposed that made that call button disappear and as I'm planning to slowly make my own stock based rom xposed is not an option. Now I realised that I do not have xposed anymore and the problem is still there. I would never realise that it's because I modded the framework to hide the navbar. I'll try to dig this issue and let you know how I would solve it. If I ever manage to xD
No obvious fix in either semcphone or semcphone.apk. It needs further digging.
Got closer. Phonebook.apk
bools.xml
<bool name="config_show_onscreen_dial_button">true</bool>
That's weird, like they would purposely do that. interesting.

Glad I found this thread. The call button on my Z3C disappeared too after I disabled the Navbar. Dialers on other phones with Navbar disabled work just fine.
And NO, I don't find it weird at all. Sony is shady as f**k. Another reason for me to hate those petty crooks.
I made a Tasker profile that will basically make the 2nd screen flash, "New Text Message" every 6 seconds until you turn the screen on. The idea for this is that you can now have something noticeable from a distance to alert you that you have a new message.
Let me know if it helps anyone.
*This won't work with 3rd party messaging apps like Tango or Whatsapp.*
How to use:
Download Tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Download the zip and extract it to your internal SD/Tasker/profiles
Open Tasker.
Make sure Profiles tab is active, and tap the tab again. Choose Import. Choose Flash_New_Text.

Thank you for this.
Maybe we can think a few ways he can make different ones for different notifications.
For example: if we get a text, we see the text message popup. If we get an email, the second screen cycles through each second window shortcut.

I believe this simply adds a notification and then deletes it after 3 seconds. New notifications appear in the second screen.
downloaded tasker but it did not create a tasker folder in the internal storage
Thanks for the app.
Not sure if it is working correctly...sort of new to this.
Confirmed that the Flash New Text is switched on in Profile
Thunderbolt icon displaying in taskbar
Received text...nothing.
Can you help me...step by step will be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you have it. Try rebooting your phone.
Are you using the stock messenger app?
When you receive a text with the main screen off, the second screen flashes a "new text message" notification. It flashes every 3 seconds.

I can't answer the GoSMS question, but it's unlikely to work unless GoSMS completely replaces the system's text messaging service.
I updated the original post with a missed call version.

The only notifications that Tasker will allow are for successfully sent SMS messages, new SMS (and/or MMS), and missed calls.
Technically, you can make it work with apps like Tango and Whatsapp, but you'd need Tasker plugins that will allow Tasker to recognize that you received a message. To do this, it would mean that you'd need to create a version for each and every type of messaging service (if there's an available plugin). It's a lot to do and I can't even test them all.

Your normal text message notification does still appear. This creates a separate notification that appears and disappears, causing the 2nd screen to pulse a message that says, "New Text Message." Once the main screen turns on, this pulsing notification simply ends and vanishes. If the main screen is off, and you get a NEW text, it'll start up again.

Create the folders in your internal SD directory.
So create a "Tasker" folder and inside that, a "profiles" folder.

Here's a test version for third party apps like Whatsapp, Tango, etc.
You can try this one if you use a third party text messaging service and the original profile I made doesn't work with that app.
THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES THAT THIS WILL WORK RIGHT, OR EVWN WORK AT ALL!
http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58163c2cbb678/3rd_Party_Texts (EXTRACT ME).zip
To use this, you MUST do the following after importing the profile:
1) Expand the "3rd Party Texts" profile by tapping on "3rd Party Texts." It's expanded if you can see the On/Off toggle.
2) tap the trophy icon
3) tap the rocket ship
4) select your text messaging app
4.5) Leave the rest alone.
5) Press the back button
6) See if it works
Note: Only 1 app will work per this profile. If you use multiple 3rd party apps (Tango AND Whatsapp for example), long press the "3rd Party Texts" text, press the "A" icon in the upper right and rename the profile to something else (ex: Tango), then import the "3rd Party Texts" profile again. Repeat steps 1-6 above, but with your second app.
Repeat everything as many times as necessary.

Sites the icon flash, instead of the text "new text message"? And I think you have to take off the private message settings...

Tried this with Textra, unfortunately it is not flashing
Also tried the Missed call one and it's not flashing on that either. I'm currently streaming music and that icon is there so not sure if that's causing an issue.
When I pull the notification shade down, it says Tasker profile active none even though both of them say on in Tasker.
I have admin turned on and accessibility service turned on for Tasker as well.
EDIT
I fixed the Textra one- basically you have to turn off the "Screen on" option in Textra otherwise that triggers the screen on portion of the Text tasker item.
Still haven't figured out why the missed call one isn't working - at first I thought maybe the initiate time frame was too short so I upped it to 10 sec, but even that isn't triggering the flash.
Added both the NEW TEXT and MISSED CALL profiles to mine.
I haven't tested out the MISSED CALL yet, but it should work exactly like the NEW TEXT.
I have both set to ON.
Does this app Tasker effect the battery life since it is always on and detecting for messages?
Thanks again for your hard work in creating this...greatly appreciated.

I was about to say "yes, it definitely works" - but alas, it only appears to work - after clicking the tick on the top-right corner (presumably to save), they revert back to their previous order.
FWIW, I'm using a Mate 10 ALP-L29 with 8.0.0.128(C636) firmware.

127-C432 firmware
Same here. Once you tick the sorting is gone.
I just discovered this, after I had absolutely same issue with the same phone:
In Chrome open contacts.google.com, where you can edit and organize all your contacts.
In the left menu click on your starred/favourites,
Deselect all contacts that have, until now, been selected as favourites, but don't click on anything else after this.
In your phone, go to Settings > Users & Accounts > Google > [your Google account] and hit "Sync". After a short while, your phone's favourites should be empty.
Back to Chrome, mark a contact as a favourite (add the star to its name), then hit "Sync" in your phone"s settings, then check in your phone contacts. That contact should now be the first on your favourites' list. Then go and repeat that with the second and third contact and so on. After each sync, the favourite contact should appear in your phone's favourites in the order you have selected them as favourites.
Moreover, now you can rearrange them in your phone without the arrangement being reset every time you hit the check icon!
