My understanding is that individual android devices need their own app for controlling their camera flash as a flashlight/blinding ray. We need one!
Tiny Flashlight + LED on Android Market works fine to me.
Torch works great. Also has widget. Or you can wait for Skystocketeer's next update.
included in the 12 and 14 panel mod. no app needed.
Brightest flashlight in the market works excellent for skyrocket. You can have the led, screen, or both on. Many great reviews on the app, one of my must haves.

Anytime Just double check and let me know if it works.
it works well. would there be a possibility of having a widget for it similar to the 4g, BT and GPS ones?

There's an app on the market called led light(or something like that) that gives you the sense looking widgets. Only thing is that the app graphic looks like crap. So I went in and changed the graphic to the HTC one lol.
PM me if you want it. I don't want to upload someone else's work with my changes w/out his permission.
Works great on DC 3.2.3.
Thanks.
In case anyone cares, I tested it with cm6. It installs, works great.
I dont see any link! Is it cuz im using the xda app?

It will install but no actually work on the DX with the 2/2 OTA
FWIW I used to use LED Light until it's graphic conflicted with my new theme. Now I use 'Extended Controls' (~$1) that is a pretty damn customizable power control widget (wifi/3G/etc) that also has a button to make the LED light up.
It may not be worth the money for just the light, but since you can customize your power control widget to any size and any number of controls + unobtrusive LED light, I'd say it's worth it.
Sigh... I can't even link a pic of it because I'm still a noob.
EDIT: I actually don't know if it will work on 2.1 either - I don't see a minimum version requirement. Also, I thought I'd list it's 'controls' - MANY more than stock lets you play with. (Another reason it's worth the $1)

Hello! I am looking for the best fliashlight app available. I use the stock one from ICS 4.0 at the moment, but I hate how when I lock the screen, it turns off! Is there a flashlight app out there that stays on until you tell it to turn off? Let me know!
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA
TelsaLED for sure. I used it before CM9 had the built in torch app. It's got a lot of cool features, better than the CM9 one I just downloaded to test, and the light did stay on after I locked the phone.
I do like Tiny Flashlight by Nikolay Ananiev the most, because u can create an homescreen widget for quick start.
Flashlight app of course...
I gave Flashlight LED Genius a try, and I think I like it the most. You can turn the light on from your lock screen by simply shaking your phone, and they make it so the lockscreen doesn't turn off for a set amount of time that you can adjust. Definitely a nice light app.

Flashlight. Plus the widget
yea... Flashlight
Flashlight... As everyone else agrees
The best flashlight app I have used is this simple sucker right here. It turns on automatic, plus it has an option where you can just tap the light icon whenever you need the light so it doesn't have to stay on the entire time. No Bells and Whistles - just a simple flashlight app.
Actually, I can't post the link so just go to Google Play - type in 831 media and the app is called SIMPLE LED FLASHLIGHT.
My 2 cents....

Maybe there are any direct links to your Flashlight apps?
The only link here is the TeslaLED and please try to enter just "Flashlight" in the Playstore... you will not find exactly what you want
So it would be VERY helpfull if you guys can link the app's directly, thanks
I find the flashlight in Pie Control is quite easy to use.
Built-in quick settings toggle in 6.0.1/ Battery Widget Reborn (had the free one, but i upgraded to the paid variant)

They have been giving you the names of the apps, you just have to search for the app they mentioned rather than "flashlight". You have to have 10 posts to post links.

I downloaded this app mainly because you said it was highly customizable and stayed on when your screen was off and I like it.
Very customizable, has modes for On/Off, Off after x minutes, On while holding toggle, Text to Morse code with option to repeat continuously, and a couple of others.
Even the widget is customizable and it also stayed on for me when I turned my screen off.
I came from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330551 where a user has reported that my app works on this phone, so maybe you'll find it useful.
----- Forget this thread, I don't understand why a user has suggested me to post here... this mobile phone already has notification led -----
I've developed a little application that should work in all MTK phones that have separate led for lighting the buttons.
The latest version will be available on my blog, but as I don't have 10 messages I can't post links... so see attachments (in the app you can find a link to my page where there will be the latest version).
How to use:
Simply install the application, open it and test that LED works (by clicking the ON, OFF buttons, it will ask for ROOT permissions), once you know it works, you need to activate the Accessibility Service to let the application catch the incoming notifications.
That's all.

It's for phones without led for notification, so this is useless here... I don't understand then why the user suggested me to post it here...
Forget this thread, I'll try to remove it from here.
Thanks

Yes works!!!!!!!! great For devices with non led notification and as reported a blinking notification as in nokias(speed of blink n style) would be great and another thing/Request..it would be great if user has a choice of which capacitive led (Back or home or multitask or search) to blink or notify for what will also be good and i'm sure there will be ton's of downloads for this app later on you an move for Universal device compatibility!!!!!

I'll add the blink option probably this night, I have finished it just now and want to test it before releasing, and will try to make it customizable.
About selecting which button to light, forget about that, usually this phones (and most of phones) control all the buttons leds at the same time, so it's physically impossible to select which button to light, as they leds are connected to the same control line.
Universal compatibility seems also difficult, there are commercial apps like Lightflow to provide more "universal" and "professional" led interactions, but even this app has lots of comments about not working (for example, on my MTK phones it doesn't work). I'll be satisfied if I can get "universal" compatibility on all MTK phones.

Hello Everybody,
I am new member of this forum and new android developer.
Here is my very first and very simple application already available in Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.techcraft.simpleflashlight (copy this link to your browser or search in google play for phrase pl.techcraft.simpleflashlight)
Simple Flashlight use camera LED if available (screen is dark with minimum brightness to reduce battery consumption) or white screen with maximum brightness. No additional features, minimal user interface, no unnecessary permissions, no ads.
I have only one android device (LG L9) so I will be very happy for tests and comments how it works on other devices.
Simple and handy.
Nexus 5, working good.
Installed it on my nexus 5 , works good. Just would like to see the app a little different. If you open the app, make a switch available for turning on and off the light, and create a widget for fast turning on and off the ligt.

My idea was to keep gui (and whole app) as simple as possible, but maybe add one switch isn't a bad idea.
I have got widget in my plans for near future

I think the same! Exactly! So just make it with switch for on/off once you open the apk and one widget.

Hi Guys,
I tried to avoid third party App for LED control (saving resources) but it just doesn't work. Any recommendations for good LED control App with minimum battery use?
Thanks
I use Light Manager Pro. It's work very well.
I'm very happy with Light Manager Pro too.

I use Light Manager too - although it's far from perfect on the S7E it seems to be the best out there...
I am using Light Flow Legacy with separate Light Flow License. It's working fine for me.
