Created page with "== Accessing Settings == Settings for individually enabling/disabling the charging LED indicator aren't exposed in the settings UI, instead they're grouped together with low b..."

New page

== Accessing Settings ==
Settings for individually enabling/disabling the charging LED indicator aren't
exposed in the settings UI, instead they're grouped together with low battery, missed event,
and voice recording.

The settings are visible to the android "settings" shell command, but helpfully Samsung has
misspelled "'''charging'''" as "'''charing'''" (!)

== Changing values via commandline ==
So for instance to turn off battery lights at night, set up a schedule in tasker to turn LED indications off at bedtime:

<pre>
settings put system led_indicator_low_battery 0
settings put system led_indicator_charing 0
</pre>

And then turn them back on in the morning:

<pre>
settings put system led_indicator_low_battery 1
settings put system led_indicator_charing 1
</pre>

== Tasker Setup ==
In tasker, create a "bedtime" profile of type "''Time''" and set the hours to whenever you want bedtime to be.

Let it create a new task, call it "''kill charging light''".

For the task, add a "''Code''" action of type "''Run Shell''" and for the command, enter:
<pre>
/sbin/su -c settings put system led_indicator_charing 0
</pre>

Then add another ''Code''/''Run Shell'' task for:
<pre>
/sbin/su -c settings put system led_indicator_low_battery 0
</pre>

(or leave out the ''su'' and check "''Use Root''" if root mode in Tasker works; it doesn't with my current rom using Magisk su)

Next, add the return task, "''enable charging light''" which is the same thing (use the clone task option) except with "'''1'''" instead of "'''0'''"

Then go back to the ''Bedtime'' profile, long-press the "-> ''Kill Charging Light''", and
select "''Add return task''", and set it to the just-created "''Enable charging light''" task.

Now every night at 11, the charging and low-battery LED indicators will be disabled
so it can be dark, and at 8am they'll be enabled again so you can have a visual
indicator of charging and low-bat.
