[APP][2.2+][UPDATE] Toggle flashlight - Android Apps and Games

So i could not find an app that would do exactly what this one does...
Turn on the flashlight LED immediately upon execution of the app... Instead, every app on the market has the user open it up, then press a button to toggle the flashlight.
My app will IMMEDIATELY turn on your flash light LED then shut off the screen.
Its main purpose is to have as a lockscreen shortcut.
Install instructions:
1. Download APK
2. Place apk onto your SD card
3. Using ANY file explorer app
4. Locate downloaded apk and tap on it to initialize the install process.
5. Install and run the app once to set it up.
Permissions:
Hardware Controls [Allow app to access camera LED]
Also need to enable device administrator to allow device lock
Dont forget to hit thanks it really makes me feel good about myself knowing people are benefiting from this other than myself
Check my Signature for other work/projects by me
THANKS XDA FOR PROVIDING US WITH SUCH A GREAT WEBSITE AND RESOURCE!!

UPDATE 12/10/12 10:36 EST
-Fixed force close issue due to me being retarded....

I've searched a lot for an app like this, the past days and I've also developed one myself, which just today I've managed to finish it(have some problems though).
I will try your app, maybe is better than mine(I'm new in programming).
EDIT:
Just tried, flashlight turns itself off about 10-20 seconds after screen is off(sometimes less), at least on my device.
I'd have this problem with my app too. Do you run it as service?

This is a very useful app my friend. It's so annoying on aosp rom's hitting the power button, pulling down the notification bar, engaging the torch, and cycling all over again. This saves steps and works quite well so far.
I'll report back as I use it more over the next few days.
Using it on a sgs3 running Eclipse rom.

Just so you people know, theres actually a widget you can place on your homescreen, just long press on the screen, go to widgets...then look for Assistive Light....put in on one of your homescreens...press it, walla...LED light on back of phone lights up!!! No need to download any apk.

That's not what this is for. This is instant lockscreen on/off. This is a smart app. Obviously there are home screen options other than this.....

Cheer's mate
works nicely. i like the fact you can rotate the bezel to alter the brightness.
Cool, it even allows full power, and apparently without limit, suggesting the LEDs can actually handle that... that's damn bright.
Now it would be even better if it didn't do that stupid animation everytime it's launched.
Thanks for sharing!
OK, just for fun, LED current draw:
Step 1: 32mA
Step 2: 107mA
Step 3: 530mA, thats 2W of LED. Mighty. I can light my whole flat with that. LOL
Nice.
Many thanks for sharing
Great app!!! is there a way to start it without the intro..?
http://pocketnow.com/software-1/new-htc-flashlight-app-for-hd2-available
Would it be possible, a recruitment Create menu where you can disable the 3 mode?
Thanks for sharing.
This is a very nice app.
I agree with other users, that it would be even better if it would start without the animation.
Any chace to achieve that?
All the Flashlight interface is done through GIO1: by HTCFlashlightLib.dll, which exports the functions EnableFlashLight and SetFlashLightDegree (though I haven't figured out their parameters yet).
Control codes for DeviceIOControl are 0x220C10, 0x220C04, 0x220C00, the last two are excessively used throughout the ASM. It also imports some clock stuff from MSM_CLK.dll - is it possible this one controls stuff like the CPU freq?
Thanks for the effort, and it looks nice, but it's useless due to the startup animation.
I have TorchButton in quicklinks, I just tap and it's instantly on. This thing takes a full 2-3 seconds which is kind of annoying, though I'm sure someone can fix it.
Edit: Also, this is 1.2MB larger than TorchButton... just saying, I wouldn't care if it didn't have animation at the start.
Thanks for sharing! Loving every detail
Decrease power of flash in photocamera
Can someone write to me the key of register to decrease the power of the flash when the camera is used?
cheers mate nice app
+1
It's nice but the start up animation is a bit of a bind.
My other TorchLight program starts up instantly just like a flashlight should
do you have the rest of the dump of the rom it came from?
This is a briiliant app but sadly as soon as I installed it my HD2 went all squirrley. My phone started to hang and booted slowly, when I got it to finally load using the slide to unlock the phone caused the screen to go black...
I like this just not sure why it did this...
In the end I uninstalled it and all is okay again...
Scott
ok. i know this is for htc devices but i put i on my lg expo. and it works as in it turns on and off the led but it turn on the front message led not the back camera led. does anyone know where the key/value that controls the led might be
thx

[APP] Backlight Disabler

When you open the program, the backlight turns off when the program is closed, then turn on.
There are two widgets 2x1 and 1x1

Works nice, but the app needs to autohide after it has turned off the backlight.
You can use Llama to trigger the app to run automatically when you power up your screen, but you have to close the app manually. If the app would close itself, then we would have automatic light off.
Oh, the peace for my eyes!...
One more little tweak Alexsandr, please.

What is it Llama?

Done.
Llama is an app like Tasker, but free. It will change profiles and execute events based on triggers, from screen-on, which I am using here, to wifi names and cell tower names.
It is available in the Market. It has been seeing consistent development and addition of features.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kebab.Llama&feature=search_result
I have an event set up with Screen-on trigger that runs Backlight disabler. It is nice, that it runs in the background, so by the time I've swiped the lock screen, BacklightDisabler is up and has turned off my lights.
I've just done the update and doing a reboot, to make sure the BD is running, and not the old one.
Backlight Disabler hides nicely now *if you tap the icon*. What I want is to have the app run, turn off the backlight and then hide. No tapping. I don't even need to see an App on the screen (it doesn't need an interface). You might have to split the on/off actions into two apps, but considering that the OS turns the lights on every chance it gets, all I ever will want to do is turn the lights off.
If I want the lights back on, all I have to do is turn the screen off/on and they're back.
The latest icon could hardly be seen with my sea wallpaper.

there is BLINKER TAB too that is free and works great!

[APP] Standby Touch Advanced

I have developed this app a while ago when I was owning a Nexus device. I find it even more useful on my Note3 since having small hands its not comfortable to get to the Power button to put the phone to sleep. You may find it useless but at least it saves the Power button or helps when using a case.
HERE IS HOW TO USE IT
1. When the app is installed, for the first time the Settings screen will be shown. Simply press the Enable Admin Permission button and then drag the Stand by Icon from App's drawer where you want to have it. Each time you press the icon, the phone will go to standby.
2. If you want to use the Sleep Mode, go to Settings and press on the Zzzzz mode button. You can select which options to be disabled (Sound to Silent, Data Off, Wifi Off), on which interval of hours and how long the options will be displayed. If you check any of the options, next time you press the Standby icon, for a short period of time you will see 2 icons:
- the Sleep icon (with the moon) on it, if you press it, it will disable the options you have selected
- the Wake icon (with the sun) on it, if you press it, it will enable the options you have selected.
The icons are only displayed for the amount of time set by you. If you don't press any of them, the phone will go to standby as normal.

Sound useful, I'm gonna give it a try.
Thank you
Seems very usefull! There is no Bluetooth toggle is there? Cause I want to disable my gear when I am sleeping.. I do this by turning off bluetooth, and in the morning I turn it on again.. Any way you could add that?
Thank you guys for your words.
@Armazia: very good suggestion!. I have uploaded version 2.3 on Google Play which has Bluetooth toggle support So you can now easily switch Bluetooth off in the evening and back on in the morning. It should be available in a few hours.
Very nice
Thanks, new version 2.3 is live on Google Play.

[Idea] [Poll] Quick Settings in Android Wear!

Hi everyone!
Today I've created a mockup of my own idea: A Quick Settings interface for Wear!
As lots of other users out there, I hate to scroll 5-6 times to finally turn on airplane mode when I want to use my smartwatch as a watch only. This would be a much better and of course, faster option to turn settings on- and off quickly with only one slide...
Maybe we could add Location and theather mode to the bottom line, but as I see, three icons would do the job.

I hope if we create a bit of a hype Google will consider creating something like this in the M edition of Android Wear...
Anyway... Do you like the idea?
Looks cool. Doesnt 5.1.1 already have something similar?
No, it does not. This is especially annoying because you cannot use WiFi directly without putting the device in airplane mode first.
This is awesome and would be incredibly useful for me.

Why would you want to do this? Airplane mode disables interaction in the google apps. If you want to force wifi, better to turn bluetooth off on your phone.
The reason is if you want to use an app online. For instance, if you need a web browser or es file explorer on your watch. Bluetooth has no bearing. The system does not allow user apps to go online. There are two solutions (not one like I said before).
1, enable airplane mode, and then enable and connect to WiFi.
2, Put the app you want to have WiFi access in the system folder (I think both priv-app and app work).
Of course both have drawbacks, but that is the way it is right?

Apparently, like a lot of other solutions that have been found in android wear, there's an unofficial way to do things.
See web browser for a.w.
Looks awesome, maybe I'm slowly considering to get one of these petting watches
Yes please.
I like it ? should really be in it
yes please! I don't understand why google insists on coming up with a more "watch specific" interface for Wear, when scaling down vanilla android would have been a more familiar experience: pull down for toggles, swipe left/right to access your screens where you can deploy icons for quick launch apps, or one screen dedicated to notifications ala samsungs' touchwiz widgets page? I would pay for a mini version of Nova launcher on my watch.

Huawei telephone power consumption small trick, close unwanted apps notification

I am coming! Recently, I have heard some friends feedback that the mobile phone consumes more power during standby than their imagination. Today I will share a small trick with you about how to SAVING THE PHONE POWER.
With the growing demand for the storage of mobile phones,large-capacity mobile phones such as 128G and 256G are very popular. More and more apps are installed on the phones, In general, all kinds of application notifications on mobile phones are more power-hungry than you imagination. If you turn off the reminder function for apps that need’t daily notifications, it will be much better.
The notifications not only annoying but also make us ignore some important messages. Every time you receive a notification, the phone will be awaked, sometimes it even lights up the screen, which increases the power consumption, then the standby time will be shorter. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you should turn off the unnecessarily application notifications.

There are two ways to turn off app notifications:
First: Settings - Notifications management - Batch Administration, which can turn off unnecessarily notifications.
Second: in the drop-down menu, press the notification in longer time to close the notification button, and then click the Finish button.
Every guys, did you get it? Let’s try it.
does your phone closed all the background apps automatic after couple hours if u don't use them?
I don't receive some notifications if the apps closed in background except wechat,whatsapp and email,gmail.
I set app launch manually, battery optimization in special access ,etc . It still closed apps in background automatic , this drive me crazy. Do u have any idea with that?
Try locking the open app in the recent apps tab, works for me. See picture...

In the recent apps view just pull down towards the trash can then pull back up and a lock should show up then pull back down again and the lock should disappear.
Thx a lots. That's very helpful.

But it still closed automatic after you don't use the app for like half day even it's locked lol. Damn this Huawei system is unbelievable.
That's what happens to Audible for me, even auto start and keep running running. Pain to open up in car etc.
