[APP] TorchButton v2.3, using camera LED as flashlight [UPDATED Dec 8]

Continuing my quest of using the LED as flashlight for my new HD2, I updated TorchButton to support the HD2 as well.
Dropped your keys? Finding something behind the bench? Performing surgery on a computer and need to find that jumper on the mainboard?
This is a simple application built for some HTC devices that have a hardware LED, normally used to take pictures in the dark. However I found the LED to be perfect to be used as a handy pocket flashlight.
Usage
There is no GUI for this application. Just start TorchButton to enable the LED on the back of your device. Start TorchButton again to turn it off.
Check out the readme if you're an advanced user and wish to change some registry settings, i.e. to allow a longer maximum time the LED is enabled.
Known issues
- [Fixed] New icons are not working when TorchButton is installed to Storage Card
Todo
- Create an app to configure the registry settings
- See if support for Omnia Pro (B7610) is feasible (someone should send me the related dlls...)
- [Done] Add a seperate timeout for bright mode
- [Done] Add blink mode with bright led
- [Done] Use new icons provided by tnyynt
- [Done] Add support for Omnia (the one found here)
- [Impossible] See if it's possible to control leds seperately ('economic mode') Sorry, this is not possible. (Tech-talk: setting a single GPIO enables both LEDs. There doesn't seem to be a GPIO for each LED seperately.)
Wishful thinking
- Camera app to interpret the morse
History
Version 2.3
- Fix icons not showing in HTC Sense or WM 6.5 start menu when installed to Storage Card.
Version 2.2
- New icons for all TorchButton apps (thanks tnyynt!). These only work in WM6.5 and up. Older OS's will still see the old icons.
- Added registry setting to use bright setting in blink mode (see BlinkUsesBrightMode).
- Bright mode now has a seperate timeout, configurable in registry (see BrightModeTimeout).
- Added support for Samsung Omnia i9x0 devices (hopefully they all work). Thanks to raph/zemrwhite2/PaSSoA. Thanks to Chainfire for testing on his Omnia i900L.
- [edit] Shortcut names have changed. I found them nicer this way, no two-line icons. And the text is now also not cut-off when added as shortcut in the home screen.
- [edit] Improved handling of bright mode. It should stop immediately now when pressed again, instead of waiting for a 500ms interval. This makes BlinkUsesBrightMode possible combined with low intervals for blink mode.
- [edit] Soft-reset your phone after upgrading from an older version! Else the new icons will not show.
Version 2.1
- Bright mode is now support on the HTC HD2 (Leo).
- Added a one-time warning message when bright mode is used for the first time.
Version 2.0
- Initial version with support for the HTC HD2 (Leo) (bright mode is not supported on the Leo)
Version 1.x
- Support for the Touch Pro

Dont think about something. Untill i read your post. This could be handy sometimes. Thnx

Awesome man I was just thinking how I missed that
Btw what's missing for bright mode to work? If I'm not mistaken there is a brighter mode just before taking a pic.

Thanks! I was dissapointed that hTorch didn't work on the HD2 now I got this. Wonderful!

Great ! thanks
Have it on my Omnia and was hoping to have it for my future HD2 !

You're all welcome! Glad to hear you like it.

The mode is there, but it's not as easily called as it was on the Touch Pro. In fact I haven't found the API call at all yet. May need some hacking around the API to get that to work. The normal mode produces _quite_ the amount of light though, it's even more light than the bright mode of the Touch Pro thanks to the dual led.

hTorch will work again once I update the C# wrapper to support the Leo, as hTorch makes use of my C# library. I'll do that somewhere in the upcoming week.

Great, works perfect ! Txs

Can anyone confirm this don't burn anything out? On the X1 the light modules weren't heatsinked properly and caused vibrator motor to screw up after 15secs use as a torch.
Thanks!

I can't confirm it won't ever burn out. However, realise that enabling the LED is actually the same as using your camera with the lights on in the dark. This _shoud_ be possible for prolonged times as well.
Were you using the 'bright' setting on the X1? (If that's possible there.) That might explain it better... otherwise you could just send in the device for repair, as it's normal use of the device. Especially if it's after only 15 seconds.

It was a known problem that the LEDs weren't heatsinked properly on the X1 and there was a huge warning on using hTorch. I've not installed hTorch and never used the LEDs on my X1 as a torch cos of this oversight by the manufacturer. I do miss being able to use the LEDs as a torch though, it's very handy.

Heej nice, i come from oud-Beijerland

nice app, but bright mode doesn`t work for me..

The vibrate function does not work at all on my X1 after installing and using hTorch. User beware..!
This is my next phone when O2 decide to put it on their shelves, and hopefully its built better than the X1.

Any chance of some source code?
I've been looking through the HD2 camera drivers, and have found a few things that should be the LED (can't test it as I have no device), but am wondering if it's the same method as yours!

Here are the important code snippets of the API that I'm using. The methods were pretty obvious (luckily).
typedef int (__stdcall *LEO_INIT)();
typedef int (__stdcall *LEO_SETCURRENT)(DWORD dw1);
...
LEO_INIT InitFlashLight;
LEO_SETCURRENT PMICFlashLED_SetCurrent;
...
hCamera=LoadLibrary(L"CameraPlatform.dll");
...
InitFlashLight = (LEO_INIT) GetProcAddress(hCamera, L"InitFlashLight");
PMICFlashLED_SetCurrent = (LEO_SETCURRENT) GetProcAddress(hCamera, L"PMICFlashLED_SetCurrent");
...
InitFlashLight(); // must be called before SetCurrent has any effect
...
PMICFlashLED_SetCurrent(0); // turns it off
PMICFlashLED_SetCurrent(1); // turns it on
There's also a PMICFlashLED_SetMode(x); but I haven't been able to figure out what it does. As far as I could see when disassembling it wants one parameter.
If you have any ideas on the bright mode, they'd be more than welcome. If you want the full source to make some modifications or to toy with it, let me know.

That's what I'd come to as a conclusion, so glad that works!
Is there any need to un-init the flash light?
PMICFlashLED_SetMode will probably need some playing around, though might enable your "bright" mode. Will have a play with that when I get an HD2!

There doesn't seem to be an un-init function. However, the debug console shows that it detects when the DLL is being attached to or detached from, so there's probably some cleanup code there.
I also haven't found any side-effects yet. TorchButton works fine even when the camera app is running. They don't interfere with eachother (other than toggling the LED to their own behalf). On the Touch Pro it wasn't possible to run TorchButton and the camera app at the same time. Not that I ever wanted to, but still.
In regard to that mode function. It must be for something. I tried using it in various ways already but it didn't matter. Maybe you'll have more luck

might be confused right now, but seems that when in camera mode, and battery is below 50% you cant use the flash - anybody know if this will affect the app?
haven't got my hd2 yet so cant help you out, but there's a thread under the Leo -- > Leo sub-forum
cheerios!

[MOD] Flip to MutE AND NON INCREASING RING TONE [XXKPQ]

Hey guyz here is my new mod for i9003 i have tried very hard for this mod for XXKPQ
Flip to Mute :
When you are receving a call, you could simply MUTE the call Ringtone by flipping the phone with the screen facing the table surface
NON INCREASING RINGTONE :
Get rid of the increasing ring when someone calls you. Most samsung phones had a "feature" where when you receive a call, the ringtone will gradually fade in to the volume that you have set. This mod will get rid of that annoying fade in and allow your ringtone to play at the volume YOU set it to!
INSTRUCTIONS :
-YOUR PHONE MUST BE ROOTED AND DEODEXED
- TO INSTALL JUST DOWNLOAD THE FILE AND PUT IT IN THE SD
- THEN USE ROOT EXPLORER AND REPLACE THE PHONE.APK IN SYSTEM/APP
DOWNLOAD : PHONE MOD
Disclaimer : I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE AND DO AT YOUR OWN RISK
IF YOU LYK MY WORK THEN KINDLY PRESS THE "THANKU" BUTTON
THANKS TO DHIRU FOR HIS WORK ON FLIP TO MUTE

Working perfectly?

the one thing that would make this app perfect is the choice to use a position other than "flipped", but the original (?) creator, raidx, ignored my request in his thread. would it be possible to implement this?

that's cool, as long as it's attempted. I'm not too good at modifying/adding any programming language, but when I had opened it before, I had seen the activation orientation was "down". I assumed that means it could also be switched to "left side down" or "right side down", but adding additional orientations could be more difficult, as you said, than just changing the current activation orientation. could "down" be changed to just one different orientation and tested as a variation? I think "right side down" would be the one I'm looking for (power button side facing the ground, volume buttons facing the sky)

Thx dude, nice work. working fine but now my caller id photos have grown big with faded images (loosing resolution). tried even with higher resolution photos, but still...
any help?

may be greater call image solution. This one have very low quality call image.
Once again, thanks for useful MOD

better small image with normal quality as perfect image that will be loading 10 minutes or longer ;D
now my question, it takes some time on call that screen wakes up (uc-kernel, touchscreen smoother mod) , can you make it a bit smaller with optimized reaction? maybe you can use Smush.it™ to get quick loading on lowest quality lost

Thanks Man!
Superb , just superb! Got it working after a couple of tries...
But i got to agree with others here,.. is it possible to make it more beautiful

hmm its very hard to edit again because i am not having my i9003 with me so i cant test but i am still making roms and themes for this phone

ordroid sense 4 issues (?)

hey I flashed ordroid some hours ago....very very nice...
but I have some issues I think, I don't know...
1- the camera...it crashes if I change setting, if I switch to video mode, if I multi-shot....anything I do makes the camera app crash...this was not in the known bugs!
2- force feedback...no vibration on the keyboard and when I touch the screen (scrolling, switching hs ecc)...I don't know if is normal, on the keyboard settings is able vibration....
3- is facebook chat htc widget missing??

Sense 4.0 roms aren't ready yet. All of the issues you listed are known and the best solution right now is to downgrade if it's an issue for you

Hooray! Found it! And good to see confirmation that the Fingerprint sensor isn't working.

I can report a Bluetooth bug using Bluetooth headphones. It doesn't matter what app is used and in what environment. The sound is interrupted by a periodic, soft click, followed a nanosecond later by a split second drop off in sound. It's very quick, but noticeable.
Has anyone else noticed this?
If not, if the developer could let me know what files I need to provide to help, I'll gladly provide them

We always report the same bugs snail haha ! there's still the audio stuttering (headphones) issue but i finally found a fix , let me know if you're still having the bug.

Haha! I also found this in the [Iron] Maiden Audio app, "Detected problem with app native libraries (libavcodec)", so there might be a codec bug there that's causing the regular dropouts on the wireless phones. It's too disruptive at the moment to tell if the other bug, with wired phones at low volumes, still exists. As I use the phone to compose, the audio issues are problematic. I love Oreo, though.
Are there any developers reading this thread, btw?
And I have issues with the screen not responding when it goes to sleep. I need to hit the power button again to sleep it again and wake it up, but I think that's already been reported.

I fixed it by downloading a frequency generator app with background playback , set the frequency at 19Hz , and audio is perfectly fine even at 5% volume , i suppose those frequencies are harmless but that's how i fixed it.
as far as screen , double tap to wake is down but hopefully next build it's fixed along with the fingerprint sensor.

I reset the phone and reinstalled 15.1 and Gapps, and the intermittent clicking has disappeared. Something obviously went wrong with the initial installation. So if anyone else has a problem with sound, retrying the fresh install might help. The low volume issue has also gone. The library errors remain for the sound and vault apps, though, so I presume they're non-device specific. And FL Studio is crashing at the end of longer recordings, not saving them in the process, which I think might also be fixed when the library error is addressed.
The wake issue isn't nearly as chronic as it was, either. In fact, I hardly notice it all now. I used the Nano version of Gapps, btw.

I thought that WiFi should work regardless of the ability to select regions. Perhaps there is another problem. Maybe your persist partition was clobbered in the flashing.

Android 10 [Q] Features Report/Feedback

So I know there are other android 10 threads out there but I felt like y'all should get a list of whats new in front of your eyes instead of looking around:
**Improved night camera quality - Yes I have felt and improvement it is slight however, but it did get somewhat better.
**Google's new navigation gestures (I felt like I should write this because last updates, Sony phones did not get the nav gestures) however the new gestures seem just a tiny bit laggy -rarely though- and when in landscape mode, the slide down bar drops not in a symmetric way but rather drops right sided which makes things look out of place
**New CinemaPro app features - the app now has the levels of both phone microphones like on the v50 and also has aspect ratio check lines (if you want to shoot a video on cinema pro it only shoots 21/9 but you can have check lines to see whats being viewed in any other aspect ratio you choose and you also have a meter inside the camera to show you if youre in the frame or not)
**Dark mode - works on most apps, but I can't seem to activate it on my phone app, any suggestions?
**UI click sounds changed - yup! I love the new ones they sound more like Android rather than Sony and I do love Android!
**FINGERPRINT!!!! - Yes!! finally fingerprint scanner is way more responsive now!! before it was sooo strict about the cleanness and the angle, I registered 3 fingers and it only could recognize one of them because of the angle it provides, but now every finger on any angle with less cleanness is verry responsive! (could still be worked on, but im so happy with it at this moment)
**Sadly no more face unlock, even though I never used it but it worked surprisingly fast when I had the option available, but now it doesnt exist, good thing they improved the fingerprint scanner XD
**Slightly improved battery life - I only noticed it when I tested it, but if youre not a detailed tester you wont be able to recognize throughout the day, maybe if youre a slight user, yes you will notice the phone lasting 2/3 hours longer (overall usage and not screen on time) because I can tell they worked greatly on improving the idle drain.
**Speaker loudness - I think the phone got louder? I am not sure but defiantly notice something that didnt exist, not necessarily higher quality but I do notice something increasing in volume I cant tell if its volume or distortion lol but when I go to max volume there is something that makes you think, a little lower than max sounded like max on previous android but I cant tell if max here is actually louder or just more noisy especially with dolby atmos
**Some people reported signal drops? or bad signal? I havent noticed a difference here so thats good news
**Performance - the phone was fast enough to almost be the king of speed and smoothness so yah even if its better on android 10 I cant even feel the difference but it is VERY smooth even on a new android which means its pretty sick!
**Recent apps button (in old school 3 button nav bar) doesnt seem to do anything if you have custom launcher, but works on default sony launcher.
UPDATE!!
**one handed mode, which I use alot when im in bed, cant seem to be activated in the new navigation gestures, because you have to double tap home button but u dont have it in new gestures, so heres what i did:
Enabled side sense, i know it doesn't work properly, but now you have an option of controlling how to access it, You can actually enable the inside the screen tap rather than from the side (if you have a case on, this will really help you) , adjust sensitivity, position, transparency of the slide activators, and change the gestures of how it works, now i changed the double tap side sense from opening the side sense menu, to activate one handed mode, and now side sense works smoothly with gestures and i can activate one handed mode in new android nav gestures, youre welcome

Thx u for this thread

UI seems a lot smoother. I'm liking the android 10 gestures which adds to the "smoothness".
Can't really say about photo quality, haven't been using the camera much. I can definitely notice a better battery life compared to before.
Basically no issues just yet! Aside from me getting used to the new gestures (+ side sense)

Im using the google dialer app in play store. It has a way better ui, better icons and dark mode compatible. Set it as default and it's all good. I don't understand why sony have decided to use the "stock" google messenger app but not dialer... the dialer seems customized in some way idk
There is a bug that I noticed: when going back home using the gesture, if the app icon is on the dock, the icons a bit laggy and will flash for once. don't really know how to describe it

Someone can make a full review of android 10 and post it on youtube ?

Yah you just reminded me to add that bug, also if you on landscape mode the slide down bar is off place slides from the right rather than the middle of the screen

Agree with you.
- about the signal, i notice less signals bar (1-2 signal bars most of the time), but no connection drop (yet)
- wifi Mac address new option, set by default at "random Mac address"

Here's a preview of the swipe up animation bug?

Does anyone else have a weird audio bug where when you pause music or a video the sound spikes up for a second before it pauses. I've only tested it on the native music app and YouTube. I don't use any music streaming service such as Spotify or Pandora. I think I've concluded that this is a software bug since I when I flashed back to the previous firmware and didn't have the same problem. Maybe my device is just strange. Any opinion?

Precisely, IDK if that happens with pixel or one plus devices, but I know that it happens with Xperia 1. When you go back to the app, let's just say it's inside a folder, app shows in the dock then the folder pops back. Then if you open an app let's just say dialer then you switch to camera with recent menu and you go back to home screen it shows dialer app on where the camera icon then you get the camera icon back in the dock. Am I right?
