Evo LEDs Flashlight application found

I've been looking since yesterday, and I finally found an app that lets you use your dual LEDs on the back of your Evo to use it as a flashlight[like many apps on the market for Droids and Nexus Ones]
They're are two apps that we know work for sure:
I personally recommend the first one because it includes brightness settings...
1) thorpe24 has found an App that allows you too adjust the brightness; it also includes a widget, but IMO its not very attractive.. but its functional!

2) The other one is LED Light [Includes Sense-like toggle Widget for quick on/off, but no brightness control]
Enjoy!

Thanks was looking for that earlier too many different choices in the market

Awesome! The widget is an instant toggle!

Thanks just what I was looking for.

WIN! *downloads* Oooooooh shiiiiiiiney

I was just looking for this earlier. Awesome find, thank you!

Awesome find! I was looking for something like this. Thanks!

Cool! I wonder why they didn't put this on it stock?

It also works or the video recorder so you can now record at night so long as you're within like 3 feet of what you're recording.

led

I like the adjustablility of LED Desire Light, but it's still not as bright as the "Flash" setting of FlashApp. The widget included with LED Light is super handy as well, so now I have three different flashlight apps installed. If only one of them could combine the features of all three...

big thanks to the OP and also Thorpe, both apps are great like the desire app better for the brightness incase I really need the extra light and the morse and SOS are cool

good find guys! i still have my HD2 laying around and those LEDs are firebright! still a good bit brighter than the evo's, but who cares! lol

Nice! Thanks!

i use switch pro...it has an led light too.

What's the best app to use the LED as a torch?

Ive done a bit of searching through the market but can only find apps that use the screen as a torch.
Any recommendations? Thanks

or you can go for Tesla LED
i prefer everything in 1 app, less wasted space, faster phone

TeslaLED. Perfect. Thanks!

Using the LED, dosen't it increase the chance of the Led getting spoiled?

Anyone run across any new LED apps since this was posted? I cannot overstate the usefulness of a good LED torch app.

Torch from CM7 works fine.

I use TeslaLED, works great. I noticed that it lags turning on from the homescreen widget compared to G2, but it's not the end of the world.

did you expect to not use it in the case of it breaking? Why have it at all then?

I use Nexus One LED flashlight. It's about 80k, Tesla is closer to 350k. I don't like bloated apps...

+1 for Allgamer's recommendation of Widgetsoid 2.x. That app replaced like 3 other dedicated apps for me (LED torch, battery meter, power control).

Anyone else?

TeslaLED or Torch (Comes with CM7)

I've switched to using widgetsoid. I have one widget on the homescreen with battery, ram, and torch. Another on different homescreen with a few toggles.

I use LED Light. It has a widget that you can put on yyour home screen. That is if you want an app that does one thing and one thing well.

Widgetsoid... u can use it for other purpose as well...

I use the SwitchPro widgets. One switch Flashlight on/off. Very useful...

for me it replaced at least 9 different widgets
in total it shaved off 15 apps from my phone

I like using TeslaLED in combination with widget locker...allows you to use the flashlight from the lockscreen.

I use nexus tourch love the high brightness

Any one of these have variable brightness settings? When I had my HD7 the ability to choose between 3 levels, low medium and high, was awesome sauce.

GB leak Flashlight App

Has anyone found a working app to use the led flash as a flashlight?

You might try tesla led, then go into settings and choose droid froyo. Let me know if it works.

Didn't work. Tried all settings

This was answered in the recommended apps thread if I'm not mistaken, but this is the app I recommended, works flawlessly.

I use the Nexus Torch app. The strobe doesn't work on my Charge, but everything else does.

Use this app here. Tiny Flashlight + LED . Its a good easy light and has a couple cool easy features. And the GUI is nice to look at.

Tiny Flashlight does not work. I am running the leaked gingerbread. Tiny worked great when I was on froyo. Also, Nexus Torch does not work either.

Hey I just found an app that works on the latest leak its called DroidLight by Motorola and it actually works even though Droid charge isn't listed at all.
and if you need a widget the LED light is also working for me as well.

Works great thank you. I have been looking for awhile for a flashlight app that works and never would have guess the one by Moto would have worked. Thanks again.

Ugh droidlight doesnt work for me. On 2.2.1. Been looking for some time now

Tiny Flashlight works for me on the GB leak so far on each rom I've tried from stock to GC 1.0-1.5. I do have to press the on button twice before the light turns on but it always does.

Does the widget work for you? and what version do you have?
Edit: just tried downloading tiny flashlight again and it worked version 3.9.9.1

Who needs notification led when....

Dude I'm in love with the notifications capacitor buttons I've been using them since the guy from 2x forums made the app and still using them on CM7.
Just an amazing implementation.
I lovr how I see the lights lid up while I'm working and know that there is something waiting for me
Just wanted to share aand encourage those of you who have not use this before and are missing notification led that this is pretty sweet.
Works flawlessly as well
For those of you running stock, you can simply download it from the market and will be ready to go.

This is implemented in cm7, you no longer need the app running in background checking for notification waisting battery.

That little program is much better than the notification light I now have on the Sensation. At least, on the G2x it is. The Sensation's notification light is darn near hidden whereas I can see the led light on the G2x lights pretty much wherever I have it laying.

No problem man
Sent From My G2x Running CM7

i dunno. i kinda find the leds annoying. i turn those off and just look at the notification. unless i'm missing something that you all are not.

@above: Well at least we have options.
One thing I find weird is that there isn't even a charging light. I plug it in and there is no feedback. The screen doesn't even pop on. I have to manually turn on the screen and check to make sure everything is good before I go to bed.
Notification LED's, meh. The way I see it is that I'm going turn the screen on and check anyway.
Although, as far as Notifications go, the OP's mention is a good solution for stock users. CM7 users have this built in on the kernel level so it consumes less battery. The above method is a battery eater, hence why CM7 built it in to the kernel vs having an app running in the background.

[app] brightness apps

Been several posts in Q&A, and in general about best methods for adjusting brightness. Personally I like the slider in the notification tray, but the app Q Bright is by far the best app I've used for this purpose. Full slider, 4 customizable presets, full app customizations, fast acting, oh yeah, it's free.
Thought I'd share.
It's actually Qbright one word
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

I like screen filter. It's free as well. It can make the screen go dimmer than with the notification slider. Q bright is pretty cool too. Wish I had a search key to long press to bring it up though haha

I've been using Lux for awhile now and it's been working great.

I also use lux, but everytime i reboot i have to open the dash to get it to work. I have the notification icon active, which always says for some reason 50% after boot until I click it. Lux works with tasker and i like that for profiling.

<quick hijack>I've been on the hunt for a widget I can pop in my homescreen that will jump between preset brightness levels. I generally keep my phone around 5% or so but when I'm outside I can't see that. I can pull down the notifications and adjust the slider but a button on my homescreen is much easier.
This one works pretty well but the icon doesn't center properly and my ocd brain can't take it. Plus sometimes it will just jump between 30%-100%...No idea why.
Sorry for derailing the thread
</hijack>

Saw that too, I couldn't deal with the off center widget either. I mean seriously, wtf? Who wants that on their screen?

the best app I have ever used for adjusting screen brightness and saving your battery would be LUX. It is in the Market for free but the paid options are far worth it.

Auto brightness from google store... i like that app... useful and great

Lux is wonderful

I've been using Brightness Level by Curvefish for over 2 years. The widget is perfect.

I agree. This is what I've been using for.months and love it! It allows you to set custom presets based on the current luxury, which you can use the default reader or even use the camera to detect. I use default, and set customs by long pressing the link button on the luxury widget.
