I've been working on a flashlight app for non-rooted phones. I have been able to recreate the one that costs $0.99 (I think? I'm not exactly sure, I don't own it.). Sadly, I have the same flaw. I can't get it to exit correctly, so you have to reboot. I'm still working on it, and haven't quite given up (although I think I have concluded this exploits a higher level bug that I just can't control).
6/17/10 - I think I've concluded there is no way to shut it off. I believe this is a bug in the camera software that allows this to happen. A method just hangs forever. (All of this is I think ) Sorry guys, you probably wont see anything better (w/o root).
Change log:
Alpha rev1 - Initial release

Known bugs:
You can't use the camera after running this and can only use it once! (until you've rebooted, it's not permanent )

Download src.tar.gz because who doesn't love open source?
Wow. Good job dude. I know its finicky but you usually only need the flash light to stay on. Oh well on the reboot to turn off. You'll figure it out. Really good job man.

Woo hoo, at least one person likes it! I've only gotten put down or no replies elsewhere. haha
I know this isn't fantastic or anything, but it's better than nothing in my eyes.
anything that helps the community is always appreciated. So ty very mucho
Yea I tried the same thing. Stuck at the exact same problem.
I am by no means an expert Android dev, but I have tons of .NET experience. I used the example in the SDK, then just added the parameters to turn on the LED when taking a picture. Then it freezes and it goes to hell from there.
I tried threading/etc. No luck, I stopped working on it. Plus now there is the root, so why not just do that and use the Lamppu Application.
Thanks for trying anyways
That's exactly where I am! takePicture just freezes after a few pictures I believe. I also tried threading, no luck.
But I don't have .NET experience, I'm just a noob.
Yeah, I know now there's root Lamppu is better, but I'm personally not rooted. I figured I'd just release it because no one else has except the guy who is trying to sell it... which is just rude lol.
werd ~!~ 10 more
thanks for trying on the app though! it just confirms that I need to get root on me phone! I dont know why ppl would bash your for contributing..fail/succeed..we all benefit. It's only from attempts that we learn how things work..im sure anyone in root dev can confirm that!

Hey,
I have had a vox for over half a year now and I was using the new OS from HTC.
Recently I had to reflash my phone because it was having a number of issues. The enter key on the front keypad would not work. It would handomly turn the bluetooth on. The screen would not be bright while I was using it (the standy dim lighting).
The enter key on the slide out keyboard does work.
After the reflash everything worked great. Now I have used the phone for a week and this starts happening again. Sometimes restarting will get rid of these problems, but it still seems to be there.
I tried to update to Dr. Gonzo's 6.1 ROM, but I was unable to flash that one, I got an error saying the ROM is corrupt.
Do you think this may be a hardware problem?
Please let me know what you think,
Thanks,
GRoder
which ROM are you currently using?
Did you USPL the device before flashing WM6.1 ROM?
that is a necessary step.
Let us know after you flash doc's ROM.

hey hey, I did read both of the supplied read me files, however I'm sure sure that the updates UPL/SPL updates worked correctly. There is one step that I am unsure about.

yea I always use the search function in forums, why ask what 10 others have asked before.
I'm just curious if anyone has experienced a similar problem with their phone. I'm hoping this is not a hardware issue...
Nope, this is something for which people are opening a new threat every day, so I hope you can understand that I am a bit grumpy sometimes!

I will try it again tonight when I get home. I think it was the step where I had to run the *.bat file with all the promts...at the end the phone did not behave like it said in the read me so I think something may have gone wrong at that point.
Since the flash LED is almost useless for the camera application... maybe someone can come up with a small flashlight apllication for it in a touchflo/diamond layout?

Just tried v0.3. Sorry to report it does not work But I'm sure someone on this forum will have a flashlight working for us soon enough I think that's all the camera light is really good for anyway.
anyone have an answer for this?
Just wondering... of course, as usual: "after the fact":
The battery on my car was dead, and yesterday I planned to rplace it with a new one... However, in my garage the lighting is awful, and I could'nt find the screws and bolts... ended up calling the mechanics, to come and boost my battery....
An app like this would have been very usefull... would have saved me about 40 Euro's...

You're assuming people will bother to search and read a little before asking questions. Don't.
And look at the dates of the posts in this thread...

Hi guys!
I just wanted to know what you guys think of the BrainZapr software?
I must say that when I first found it I was a little bit skeptical, but after trying it I can honestly say that it really works! (For me at least!)
I have so far used the "Headache relief, Get to sleep, gentle focus, enhanced creativity and earth resonance"! And I think it works wonders!
So what is your experience about this software/technology if any?
If you still have not tried it, I would strongly suggest you to head over to their site and download a free trial, then let me know what you think!
Oh and no matter what you think, I am not working with them in any way, nor am I paid to say this! I just want to know what your opinions is on this technology!
Thanks!
Well I have to say that for study, I used it for some time now.
Just good things to say: it kept me concentrated as well as got rid of distractions of the environment.
To sleep its good too.
The other ones, I didn't test properly.
Just don't use it too loud because of ear permanent damage!
Cheers.

Sounds great that I am not the only one that think this is working!
Anyone else want to share their experience?
Anyone else?
Please I need your opinions on this!
I've tried the "Silent Sleep" and feels quite working! Haven't tried others module yet... The only thing is that once my phone's backlight's off, the sound is off as well V_V
Who here has the XDApp lite working?
I have it cooked into my ROM and it will never work, ever. It tries to connect, gives it three attempts and quits. I'm envious to all Android OS owners who have it up and running on their devices.
Does anyone have it working on their windows mobile phones and if so have a .cab file? Or even a fix? Any help or advice is appreciated

Two things:
1.) Yes I am using the default skin. Do you know where to find other ones?
2.) When I find said skins how can I change it? Because I don't know where to find my data for that app, because as I said, it's cooked into the ROM.

no not on your phone im talking about on your computer scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen & on the left hand side should be a drop down menu click on it and it should say Quick Style Chooser with 2 skins to chose from 1 being the default skin & the other being the beta skin make sure you are using the default skin then on your phone try to login again to see if it works this worked for me
Nothing, I tried twice. I don't know what could possibly be the problem. I'm going to try to change the layout on my cellphone to see if that might fix it.

Suhweet! I finally got it working! DD You guys at the Core Cell team should direct people that use your ROM to either this thread or give them some sort of directions in the Fixes part of your thread. Just a recommendation of course Thanks alot for the help I do appreciate it!

Maybe someone else can pick up on this project and make it more user friendly haha I have no programming skills seeing as I'm 17 and the only C++ I know was a 10 year old curriculum I took in high school last year So I can't...but it'd be nice to see someone else take this up and make it better than it already is

hey guys, yesterday i bought a new galaxy S6, so far everything is smooth and fast, i heard that applying a theme can cause lag...is this true? because if it does then i dont wanna change my stock theme...
Is it really that hard to apply a theme and test it yourself? Some people are really ridiculous...

I mean, you have the phone in hand right? You couldnt take the 5 seconds out of your time to try it yourself? Instead you thought it'd be better to be ridiculed as you wait several minutes, even hours or days until someone tells you something you could have confirmed yourself?

Maybe he's afraid once you change themes, even if you go back, the lag will stick.

Installing a theme causes a bunch of lag during the install process itself (under the covers there are like 20 apks getting installed). I've always applied themes right after installing them, so any for any lag after that it's hard to say if it's left over from the install or is from the application. In any case, after a reboot I haven't noticed any lag.
