Looking for the best Flashlight app. - General Questions and Answers

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!

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.

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?
Sent from my PC36100 using 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)

[REQ] Notification Pull Down Power Buttons Ala Galaxy S

Hi I was watching a browser speed test video on androidcentral and they had a galaxy s phone and when they pulled down the notification bar at the top were a set of power buttons letting you turn on blue tooth, wifi or gps from any screen (really useful IMO)
So i ws wondering if this was part of touchwiz or an app or something we can port to the droid x. I find myself wantng to turn on wifi bt and gps alot in apps and ont want to go to the home screen to do it. i think this is so cool, anyone can elaborate?
thanks!
i believe it's part of touchwiz and it IS very handy. i don't use it all the time but it's a lot easier than finding the screen with the quick toggles.....if you're even using them.
Yea my friend has the one for T-mobile and i didnt' know it till i pulled down the notification bar, and I thought the same thing...sooo useful. I use my phone for navi a lot and it's annoying to go through screens to find the widget.
Quick Desk Beta
Check out the app Quick Desk Beta its essentially the same idea but instead of pulling your notification bar down you double press your home button and it pulls up a transparent screen that you can put any widgets on like wifi toggle or your music player. I used it all the time with my D1 when id be on a web page and forget to turn wifi on or want to listen to music while on the web but not want to go home and find the widgets then back to browser. I just got the DX and haven't tried it yet on it im still figuring out all these new moto blur things but i would think it should work with the DX. Hope that helps you out alittle

thanks i will check it out, but i do once in a while use the double tap of the home button for voice dial on my x, but that shouldnt b needed anymore once we get froyo and the new voice search app from google.
i still would like to have this in notification bar and wonder if it could be done as an app or as a theme mod or what. IF anyone has any ideas how this can be ported? maybe i can request a port in the DX android dev forum?
Yes a friend and my inlaws have the Galaxy and I would love to have something like this for the X.
Check out the app Quick Settings. Lets you put whatever settings in there you want. It's not as pretty, but really useful.

I would really love this too. I know the Galaxy S has it and certain ROMs have it but I'm not willing to root my DX quite yet.
i use quick settings as well, works really good.
Also you can download the app called Homesmack which can allow you to program the search hard button on the X to bring up the quick settings app. pretty convenient when i want to turn on wifi or bluetooth etc on the fly and saves space on home screens

It is not apart of any Droid X ROM or theme yet... it is likely that Fission may get this mod though.

I use Power Control Plus - can't post a link yet, apparently, but it's easily googled.
It's awesome.
this is the only feature i miss from when i had my Captivate.....i can only hope the guys at team defuse can get this to work on the X!
I use MySettings. It works very well.

Screen off and lock

The lock screen widget allow me to switch off the screen for my N1 without touching the power button. However, it is a widget so I can't put it into the dock of my launcher and I also cannot customize its icon and label.
Hence, I decided to create a non widget version which do the same thing but you more freedom with it. It's FREE and if you don't mind spend a few bucks to support me and, you can also get the donate version which will kill itself completely from the process list.
Same as lock screen widget, it support Android 2.2 or above only. Please deactivate device admin before uninstall it.
Search "Screen Off and Lock" in market to get it!
It's always nice to be able to make what you need. Why not just press the power button?

Awesome, replaced "Lock Screen Widget" with this
Works on my N1.
Hi,
Just for curiosity...what is the widget you have on the top, indicating the time, date, and the battery charge status?
And congrats for the app!

Katecca (Felix Tam) solved "Screen Off and Lock" issue on ICS 4.0.4
(OFF with the app and soon ON issue, cuz maybe the code changed on 4.0.4)
If you encounter Black Screen issue on launcher, check "Delay device locking" option

[APP][2.2+]Simple Flashlight

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.

Your Use for Edge Sense

As XDA users, most of us won't have the typical usage for certain features and apps as the general public. What are some useful tasks that you found for Edge Sense?
I'll start with saying that I changed it from the Camera shortcut since there are about three more ways to launch the camera right of the bat (Power Button, App Icon, and double-swipe down with the screen off).
Currently, I use the short squeeze or WhatsApp, and long for screenshots. What about you?
I'll throw that out there, too...I'm looking for an app that brings up a floating app drawer, or some selection if my favorite apps. Yes, I know that I can just go to the home screen, but if I have a good feature, why not make the most out of it?
I use short for screenshots and Long for Alexa
Short for camera and long for chrome
Short for camera and long for voice recording (just in case).
Sort squeeze for notification shade, long squeeze for camera.
Short camera... Long press... Deezer (music streaming app)
I use short for the flashlight and long for a screenshot. Both I use very frequently and omfg edge sense is nice. Especially cause this phone is larger then what I am use to.

What would REALLY be awesome (and I hope you're listening, HTC) are Edge Profiles. Tapping on the Quick Launch icon should toggle between the profiles so that you can have different sets of apps. Would be nice to nickname the profiles as well.

Using that for short squeeze, Google Assistant for long (but that's temporary while I'm testing some things that otherwise interfere with G.A.)
