Anyone know of a stobe light app for epic
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Try app called "color flashlight". Under the effects section, there's a strobe light, among others.
I'm sure you mean a strobe light using the LED on the back of the phone. I've been looking for one, too, but all the ones I've seen in the Market don't seem to work on the Epic. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes I am speaking in terms of the LED. Anyone anything?

Try TESLALED and get the donation version he's one of our own here. Great program.
There's a very long delay between hitting the widget led switch (on any app) until the LED actually turns on. It's not likely strobe will work until this delay is removed, if at all possible. The led on my wife's moment turns on instantly by comparison.

+1 on teslaled.. Best light app on market, and widget is perfect..
Traced with Ultra Keyboard from my *Epic*
Thanks for this....works great! I've been looking for an LED light that would work on the Epic for a while now.
The flashlight works fine but not the strobe effect.
There is no strobe LED for the epic because the sensor is made by NEC the libs are loaded each and every time the LED turns on and off, hence the long delay.
Ok, I did a quick test, if I go to the camera and click the Camera button quickly I get almost the same effect....why can't it be programmed the same way and if you say the library is loaded every time, maybe keep them loaded and just call upon them? How does the camera work where it detects you pressing the button and turn on the LED so quickly? I am sure it can be done, but I am not an android developer so I have no clue.

I've been finding myself in many situations where I would love to use my camera in dark/dim places while on a phone call, however, I get a message saying:
"flash light is disabled because of low battery power, cold weather, or phone call."
I tried using an app called LED Desire to take pictures, but it will just shut off during the snapshot. However, it does work well with the video camera on call or off call (pretty nice).
Is there a way to have the flash light work for the camera during phone calls?
Thanks.
Guessing this is a no go?

Download LED Light from the market. Works greats for the camera and video
You must be on the phone a lot o_o.
Try LED Light.
get flashlight alerts forgot where i got it.. Ill post all my found apps sometime soon.
it is designated app to flash LEDs when sms and calls come in even in vibe or silent.
Thanks for the replies, but like led desire, led light does the same thing when taking pictures while on the phone.... the light just forcefully shuts off after snapping a pic causing a black pic. Haha and yes I talk a lot and like to share my surroundings while on phone

Hello. I am Now on leedroid rom. I loved in cyanogen the notification power widget, most of all the flashlight. I could have strobe, but the best thing was its brightness. With root access I could get 3x more light then any other normal application. I had no power problems...no flickering, no crashes.
I found the application nexus torch, on the market, which looks just like the torch app on cyanogen same interface. It's as bright, but doesn't work on my phone. Extra brightness flicker, display goes off...cannot use at all. But I am pretty sure it is tue same app built in cyanogen.
Is there a way to get that powerful brightness working on leedroid?

Well, can't you just use the Torch app from Cyanogen? I would think that would work.
Ok but which app was that? I am afraid the app would only work on cyanogen. The only app I found similar to that one is nexus torch, which doesn't work.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I found a thread about the cyanogen torch app...downloaded the .apk. At the moment I am with MIUI which has an application that when opened displays a black flashlight with a red switch. That uses only ONE led !!
The torch I am speaking about had the option to strobe, and not only it used two LEDS...it used much more power ... "death ray" (just like the Nexus Torch application which is somehow not compatible, although it really looks like the same ?!).
Try Extended Controls
May be in pull down..as a lightning bolt
Maybe this belongs in the development area but...
The evo3d got a notification led wich i like...what about if we can make the capacitive button led's blink or something when we have a mail and sms...
Maybe more guys have this idea but well....tell me if its possible and a good idea
It is probably possible and I think developers will have a hand on it if they havent yet.
It will be eventually supported.
this idea is awesome. i think it is possible

This would be a nice to have for sure. If can light up those "buttons" to use for notification, it will be great.
This is already done with O2X, so it is definitely on the way for us
My previous phone was GalaxyS which had no led aswell.
I used a programmed called NoLed on the Galaxy. Installed on Optimus 3d and seems to work fine.

It doesnt support the capacitive button led's.
Sorry i was only suggesting this as a temporary alternative until further developments.
I really like this idea!
But is it possible to expand on it further?
Since there's 4 capacitive buttons on the phone, are we able to make them blink individually?
For example... home button blinks when we have a missed call, menu button blinks when we have a message, back button blinks when we have an email, and etc?
Noled seems to be working fine for me...

Unfortunately not. As the app page states, AMOLED uses no power displaying a fully black pixel so displaying alerts on the screen takes very little power.
Now as the O3D has an old fashioned LCD, it consumes potentially a ton of power just to turn the screen on at all, because it has to light the whole screen just to start. Plus, it uses the MOST power displaying black (least displaying all white), so it would need the opposite behaviour.
[UPDATE]
Ah I see you can make the screen blink, I didn't notice that at first. Might actually be useful then.
i've tested it with the developer of the LG notification app. it seems, that the files which have to be used are'nt writeable. so without root it won't work
perhaps we should send tons of mails to LG, that they make it possible.

Also the notifications can have a time limit, i have set at 15mins and haven't noticed any battery drain.
Modified 2X/Black touch led notification app
Hi guys,
I've modified Martin Börjesson's app and now it works on ROOTed O3D and I'll upload it soon.
To-do:
1) fading doesn't work
2) change of brightness doesn't work
What will never work
1) separate LEDs - I don't think there's a way to control each of them, only all 4 LEDs

Hi I wonder if anybody has heard about software to use the camera led for messaging warnings?
That would be clear to see! instead of pitty htc led
It would KILL your battery and possibly burn out the LED flash. I wouldn't do it but it IS your phone.
Wasn't me!! I didn't do it!
iPhone's have that function, where an incoming call is made the flash on the back flashes a couple times.
I have light flow from the market and I think it has this option

THANKS! Now we're getting somewhere! i love XDA and it's members.
(update)
Link above this post works great on my sensation xe, it comes with strobe settings, timer and battery protector.
free to try, buying is 99ct
There's a 'Thanks' button for that.
I just added Lockscreen widgets to my app TouchLight which makes it pretty sweet.
Why not just use an led toggle in the notifications? Good question anon, the lock screen widget gives you access to multiple on screen lights as well as the led. It also turns down the screen brightness and works really well for being able to toggle the light on and off as often as you like.

Hope you all like the app.

The LED is tricky, lots of devices have a lot of different quirks with them so make sure your issues are not devices specific. When I was programming the LED stuff awhile ago I remember having the opposite problem.
I don't know about getCamera() and don't see anything about it in the docs. I use camera = Camera.open() (the rear camera is the default). I have to release the camera (camera.release()) on pause or else it caused problems with the stock camera app. To turn the light on I set the flash mode, parameters and then startPreview. I found this to work on the most devices. Some devices like autoFocus to be set also but a greater amount hate it.
Also remember that you have to give your users a way to turn it off when the app is not opened. I would recommend a notification. If they have to reopen your app through multitasking to turn it off that's a "fail, one star, uninstall" type of a thing.
