This is the Flashlight apk from the 2.2 Froyo Desire rom. No root is needed and appears to work on most HTC devices using the camera led's.
It's pretty sweet and looks awesome.
Now to answer some questions:
Why do I need this?
You don't.
Will this break my phone?
Don't know. Depends what you use it for.
Will this void my warranty?
Its a non root stock HTC apk
Will it help me find my long lost brother?
Who knows
Can I get this from the market?
Nope
How do I install this?
Log off, turn your computer off and please walk away. Seriously

It uses the led on the Evo 4G too!!!!
On my Desire it uses the Led too instead the display...
Doesn't work on my Desire with a Nexus 2.2 ROM
'Tis a shame, I don't like Sense much, but this looks quite nice
Thanks for the app, looks pretty cool but does not work on BB 2.2 Droid
Awesome flashlight app
It has a nice gui, but on the Acer Liquid nothing happens (ie, no led flash exists)
Installs & runs on my Incredible, but doesn't enable camera LED.
Doesn't work on HTC Incredible
Installed on my Evo. Working fine, uses the dual L.E.D, not the screen. Thanks.
Also confirmed as not working on HTC incredible I am running the sky raider froyo + sense Rom

FYI. Does not work with DeFrost 2.0c. Didn't expect it thou. Just fun to test.
Suspect the HTC Flashlight might need the HTC Framework/Sense to work?
Works perfect on my Desire, good job.
I downloaded this and it is telling me that there is no application to open this file...
First time I've ever gotten that message downloading an apk
Don't work in Nexus One. Led Off.
Any way to port it to Nexus?
Great App.
JadenR,
Thanks for the Flashslght.
Just a little feedback here: Not sure if this is how it should work, but it does work on my HTC Desire (eclair). It shows a cool image of an HTC flashlight on the screen, but uses the camera LED for the actual light beam. Four settings; off, very low, medium, and very bright.!!
Using htc desire with Gefrost r6 (based on Defrost 1.8c) doesnt install for me, downloaded in browser which usually works for me :/
Works great on Droid Incredible running Cyanogenmod6 RC3.
It is using the camera LED, not the screen. Just like the stock Sense 2.2 ROM for Incredible..
Does not work on HTC Desire with OpenDesire 4.0.23

sorry to bug, but I'm running cyanogen7 on my dinc and i miss the hell outta of my HTC
flashlight app. any apk's out there?
It wont work currently with the new CM7. I just use the built torch app as a replacement.

So, got this phone, upgraded to gingerbread. Hate the stock camera when you get used to the camera apk on the Sensation...anyway to put that apk on the G2x through a file manager or flashing? Any answer is helpful other than search or why would you do that? answers. I would use search, but when I do I get to windows phones... pointless.
If you want the apk from the sensation, I can rip it and post it or something

Yea I wish they could do that too but apparently they (devs) haven't found a way to port anything from HTC to reg. Android. Its something about the way the apps are written or coded....if they could do that we could've had HTC sense running on this v12 powered phone.
Off topic: I think this phone can handle HTC sense pretty good if it to run it.

hah, sense 2.1. The sensation barely handles sense 3.0
Well damn...I love the click to focus on the sensation (sense 3.0 camera apk?) and especially the focus in video recording!
Saves in DCIM, appears in camera shots in Gallery. Tested on my 2.3.4 Vodafone Ireland Sensation.
Is it just in the Vodafone branded update?
Nice, works perfectly ;-)
Great, thank you. It works for the unbranded European Sensation, too (1.45.401.2).
Lol I was pressing home and power at the same time and wondering why it didn't work Thanks
Swyped from my HTC Sensation
Just to confirm, this also works on Android Revolution ROM 2.1.0 !

That would work too, but it's practically impossible to precisely press both at the same time.
i am using InsertCoin 2.2.2, and this is working perfectly.
baadnwz's rom based on 2.3.4 all have that feature.
so is it a feature of android2.3.4 ?
Wow. So this works with the stock rom too? I knew insert coin had it, I just never figured out why I couldn't get it to work the right way.
How are people only just realising this?? LOL!
I'm using this feature in InsertCoin 2.2.2 ROM it works good most of the time, but sometimes when I hit just the home button, it takes screen captures. Is anybody having the same problem?

Unless you're on 2.3.4 it won't - it wasn't in 2.3.3
Ah right thanks, that explains it then.

It's not a feature of android 2.3.4, htc decided to implement this feature in 2.3.4. They could have done it in 2.3.3 if needed, but may have skipped since it is not a high priority feature.
It takes screenshot..but apparently the pic has 0 bytes. using p3d.neon custom.

if you look at the build.prop of 2.3.3 it's there but commented out
Does anyone have the stock camera apk? I prefer using cm7 but I love the stock camera. The ones that come with non-sense roms are for the most part, unimpressive. I like the full screen hi Res images from stock. Thanks!
It won't work sorry bro

What about miui cam? Anyone know how that is? I think its in someone's cm7 hybrid build.
Why wont it work? I got the sense 3.5 insertcoin camera apk on my computer and using miui and would like to use the sense cam...
It won't work, like all other widgets and htc software won't work over CM7. That software requires the HTC Sense Framework and will not work without it on your phone. You will get only a sequence of ForceClose from running the apk.
You're are free to try anyway, just take the camera.apk from any sense rom
Bummer, well. "The Beast " rom seems to be the best of both worlds... Senseless rom with sense apps, like the nice camera!
I've been experimenting with camera apps. Judging by the fact that you like the sense camera like me, try camera zoom FX, closest i've come to sense cam. But no touch to focus. Comes with some other nice features. Closest i've come to instant capture.
Edit- beast rom is melvins?
Ifyou just wait the camera issues with cm7 will be resolved. Only a few things don't work.
Sent from my Sensation
It's the UI I hate. The borders and stuffs. I like a plain UI but with classy looking menu and options and such. The sense cam and xperia arc cam apps are 2 examples. If anyone has any replacement or similar app please please let me know. Would appreciate it very much

My concerns are not about something that doesn't work. Simply the camera app of the CM7 is way way behind in comparison with the sense one in all their aspects. UI, functionality, effects, settings... If you buyed your sensation also for it 8mpx camera you can't be satisfied with that app or, at least, i'm not. It's the main reason that keeps me from flashing these roms. Actually, Friend Stream is another big one
Thought I'd share a little trick I found in the HTC Rezound forum... turns out you can easily peel off the Sense-style lock screen and leave your One X with clean-looking stock ICS lock. You simply need to rename /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk to something else, reboot, and voila, Sense doesn't skin it. I renamed it using adb shell.
It doesn't work perfectly however... I've already found a couple bugs where incoming calls don't show up on the screen (only in the status bar), and if you use something like Google Music that is supposed to add controls to the lock screen, only a black background is shown. I'm sure these functions are supposed to be handled by the Sense Lock UI which is no longer there. Maybe somebody smarter than me can figure out how to fix, or maybe this is just a useless crippled hack.

Sure, but there hasn't been any mention of it in the HOX forums, and this is the first phone with Sense4, which is why I linked to it here after finding this neat-o trick. That is all.
This is really cool, I'll definitely have to get around to trying it out sometime soon.
Thanks for sharing!

I doubt it, most of HTC's other apps are complete replacements of stock, whereas the Sense lockscreen is really just a skin sitting on top of ICS.
So it makes sense why incoming calls, texts, etc. using HTC's stock apps don't show up on the ICS lockscreen (they want to be handled by HTC's skin)....but I'm not sure why Google Music won't show controls since it isn't an HTC app. Curious!
Nice tip! Thanks for the info!
