Hi guys,
Flashlight is one of my first Android apps and I feel that it has reached the point where I can share it with you guys for testing and feedback. The changelog and planned features are in the second post and screenshots are in the third post.
Description
Flashlight is a simple app that allows you to use your phone as a flashlight. Flashlight has various and useful features as listed below.
Features
Flashlight solid mode (regular flashlight)
Flashlight flashing mode
Adjust flashing mode rate
Flashlight background service (keep the flashlight on even when you exit the app)
Flashlight auto-off (automatically turn off the flashlight after a set amount of time)
Choose an app theme: Holo Light, Holo Light With Dark Action Bar or Holo Dark
Compatibility
In theory, this app should be compatible with any Android device that runs Android 2.2 or higher. Due to the fact that every Android device has different hardware and the fact that this app interacts with the hardware, this app may not work properly on all devices. Please refer to the lists below for more information. If your device doesn't appear on either of these lists please post on this thread feedback as to whether the app works with your device. Please keep in mind that these compatibility lists are based on user reports and may not be fully accurate.
Tested Compatible Devices
LG Google Nexus 4 (E960)
Tested Incompatible Devices
None.
How To Install
Download the latest attached FlashlightVx.x.x.apk to your device.

Great torch app. Works even on screen locked.
About design.. Is too simple, I expect some more in future

In my opinion simplicity is beautiful but I'm willing to consider suggestions...

My very first advice is to choose a color palette, one you feel right for this kind of apps.
I.e. black-grey-yellow and make the toggle an image (your logo is good enough).
Just to make people more attracted. Your app is efficient, greatly efficient but is not "sexy" IMHO.

hi, why would the app required permission to take photos and videos?
also, it works on Xperia Z (running AOSP)

i was looking at your code to redesign the appand give u a mockup, but translating smali to java i got this (on initListeners)
Code:
this.cbFlashingMode.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener()
{
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton cb, boolean pb)
{
if (Flashlight.this.cbFlashingMode.isChecked())
{
Flashlight.this.setEnabledFlashingModeSettings(true);
Flashlight.this.editor.putBoolean("FLASHING_MODE", true);
}
while (true)
{
Flashlight.this.editor.commit();
if (Flashlight.this.tbToggleFlashlight.isChecked())
Flashlight.this.startFlashlightService();
[COLOR="Red"] return;[/COLOR]
[B] Flashlight.this.setEnabledFlashingModeSettings(false);
Flashlight.this.editor.putBoolean("FLASHING_MODE", false);
[/B] }
}
});
well that "return void" (third subclass) make the bolded text unreachable, so I guess I translated bad, any help?

I'm pretty sure something went wrong on your end... I'm not next to my computer so I can't be sure but I'm almost certain that's not the code...
I don't mind open sourcing the app but I'm really a beginer at all this so if u could help me out with open sourcing it properly that would be great!
Also since I see your a recognized developer I would love if you could give me some feedback on my code.

I just gave a very quick view but as u can see my translation is not perfect, so I can't feedback the code. Actually I rebuilt the app with the only problem on toggling flash mode (it works but not instantly like yours).
The app is one of the best (maybe the best) torch apps I ever seen.
Haven't checked how timeout feature works, but all the rest seems good.
If u want I can take a look at your code privately , or help u publish it on github, or just keep distance and just redesign the app.

I like the simple look, but I agree with Mirko that the toggle should be an image like your logo.
Id suggest making it a dark theme, and having your logo "light up" when its on.

more or less it s the main idea (when on maybe would be better blue, to fit theme).
i sent a very initial redesign, but quite incomplete.
the main question now is: we wanna keep "android settings-like look" or , always being holo, plan a layout more attractive?
If we wanna follow android settings like theme i guess yours is a great (congrats!) theme, else we can play with all the android patterns around
yep yep its just a torch, but hey, let s be creative if not people will bore xD

Many people using the Power Control Widgets that I ported inquired about the ability to control the behavior of the various toggles that are available, such as Brightness Levels, Screen Timeout, Sound Modes (silent/vibrate/etc), Flashlight Modes (death ray/normal), as well as the ability to dynamically set the indicator bar on/off color below each widget (nice!).
So, I began investigating how this was controlled in CM. After some digging, I found the applicable locations where these options are controlled and began hacking away at making a stand alone application available that would present the above referenced configuration options to those using this mod, while eliminating all the various other options not applicable to this mod.
This is an extreme hack to make work, but I am proud to say that I have v1.0 available and ready for download. I say v1.0, as there are additional options I want to make available via this application that are not yet present, but I wanted to put out what I have now. This bad boy took some major surgery to get working on our Sense ROMs, requiring me to pull out a lot of tricks in my hacking arsenal, and I'm almost as proud of it as the actual port itself!
In addition to the above referenced features currently in place, I also hope to add the option to turn widgets on/off all together, as well as dynamically choose which widgets to display, in lieu of, or in addition to, the current widget.txt file.
The application, once flashed, is named 'PowerControl Settings', and when looking for it in your app drawer, utilizes the following icon:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And following are some screen captures of the options available / referenced above:
It should be noted that if your ROM dev customized your widgets to a fixed color for the indicator bars (if they are not a default cyan blue, they are fixed to a different color), that the dynamic indicator color feature shown above will NOT work, since, as mentioned, it has been hardcoded to be a specific color. This would have to be undone, or you could flash a stock version from the mod thread to get back the dynamic option.
Download PowerControl Settings Application v1.1 <--- Flash via Recovery to install
Update 1/30/22: Small tweak to the app made to prevent appearance of RenderFx in widgets selection list, since this widget does not apply to this mod and should not appear.
Of course, it is important to mention / thank the CM team for the original application of which this port is based.
NOTE: If you plan to use the 'toggleScreenTimeout' widget, now that you can control timeout levels via this PowerControl Settings app, I had to adjust the available intervals, as CM offers different timeout intervals than what are available in Sense ROMs (making it incompatible). This required an edit to the services.jar file only, as such, I have created a patched services.jar file (v2.1.1) available for download at the bottom of the mod thread. It is only necessary to flash this if you wish to use the 'toggleScreenTimeout' widget.
Nice.. thank you!
Very cool!
awesome work like always John!
going to download now
All I can say is Nice Work! Is this something that will work on the Widgets ported for Inc Roms?
man, this is great! you just keep pumping out these great mods! thanks for your commitment to the Evo
You keep out doing yourself. THANKS
Excellent stuff! Thanks for sharing your work. Humble request: Sound+Vib/Sound/Vib/Silent.
Nice.
Will future versions allow full customization of the widget itself such as background appearance, buttonize appearance, icons, etc.?
thank u man... good stuff.
much like everyone else is wondering though... will u implement a feature that will change the widgets on the bar also?
personally im not worried about it... but i do wonder.
worked great, just as expected.
i love being able to set the flashlight to death ray. that's the only way i use it!
and being able to change the color of the indicator bar worked great and allowed me to find a better matching blue than the one I had set via smali
you're the man!
Again, as I said in my post in your original thread, this APP is by far the BEST APP I have on my EVO..... Adding these features just added more sugar to an already tasty treat!
(any chance you plan on ever making a buttonized version like you had in the original one?)
You da man!! Will test this out after work today!

I want to keep the widget.txt option in place, so that you can use it to control the order of the widgets. Then, if not present, default down to the toggles checked via the application for which widgets to display (order can't be controlled). This adds another layer of complexity to the code that is making it more difficult, so I removed the check box options all together in v1.0, and as mentioned, hope to add this later.

This would take both a new application and a new framework file, which just isn't feasible to try and maintain a bunch of different versions for personal preference, etc.

I'm pretty sure some good gents in the mod thread have already ported my original.
This looks tantalizing. Any reason it wouldn't run on an Incredible with Virtuous 3.2? (Guess I could always give it a whirl, but I thought I'd ask first).

I have to be honest with you, I very rarely acknowledge / answer these questions for a few reasons.
One, I don't own that phone, and two, why not just try it and let us know?
I see no reason why it wouldn't work though.

this app is to control the power control widgets...do you have the widgets ported over to your framework? otherwise what is the app going to control?

Lol, talk about not seeing the forest through the trees. I assumed he already had the widgets running via a port Yes, this is a helper application for the already installed power control widgets in the notification window.

Unlikely... It's still based on CM7. Major changes are in framework I think - core OS is still the same. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what comes to mind...
Besides the music app, all stock iOS apps suck and are beaten in every aspect by their Sense counterparts, so i hope the music app is usable on other ROMs. Can someone please upload the app separately?
Update
Finally After 2 Hour Meshing With All Files , I have Got Everything Working..
Looks Everything Works Fine, But Still Need A Testing..
I will Upload The ROM Tomorrow Morning (10hrs).. Till The Wait..
Thanks
on first look at the screens, wow good work
I would like to test your rom. and all other beta versions
really really good work
Can't wait to test this. I love the slickness if ios but hate the restrictions of apple. Great job.
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium
Good job buddy
wow...
i personally own lot of apple ****s (even typing this from a macbook )
but i really love the idea of an iOS ROM based on Android.
Keep it up mate, you really deserve a place on the portal page
(i will suggest it personally as soon as you get us a download link)
Lol! this will be something awesome to look forward to. I'll like to see the look on the iOS fanboys when they see this. Hahaha!
is the date on the lockscreen configurable in terms of format
also are these type of lockscreens with notification center enabled possible
The problem for me is that iam useing BlindICE v5.4 and it's working so well i don't know wheather to change to this one or not. Thanks mate for all your Roms.
Pie Control
Ohai Pie!
First things first. This is not Paranoid Android's Pie.
What is this app?
An app like Paranoid Android's Pie feature with a lot of functions and features.
What this isn't?
This is not real Pie feature of PA.
Why is root needed?
Root is needed for some functions. Although some functions can be used without root, I did not allow it as people would ask why the other features do not work.

Downloads
I have lost the key for my previous app. Hence it cannot be updated anymore. All future updates will be added to the new Pie Control app. Get the market version of this to stay up to date with all updates and to donate to me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a paid app. You can get it from here.
But I made this free for everyone on XDA.
No stripped features. No ads. No trial version. Plain and simple free for XDA Users.
I will update both the apps here and on Play Store at the same time. So rest assured. Download it at the bottom of the post.
This will never go full paid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If anyone wants to donate, then please download it from Play Store.
But of course try it from here first to see if it fits you or not.

I owe thanks to these people sincerely and from the bottom of my heart.
ne0fhyk - For Taskarou, the main base for this.
Jake Wharton - For NineOldAndroids library.
sarkar1990 - For being the most supporting brother I could ever have and extensively testing it on JB.
b16h22 - For extensively testing on GB.
fifa2151 - Again for extensively testing on GB.

Without them this would not have been possible.
A simple notice to ROM devs.
Please do not put this in your ROM without my permission. If you do so, it may be considered as warez as it is paid on Play Store.
If you want to add this, just post a link in your thread to here for people to get it separately.
This would help me keep the download count as well as fix bugs or add features according to what users want.
Please do not kang this. There's a reason I made this free for you all.

Never noticed it. I'll take a look.
Edit: Just saw. It gets rechecked after closing the app, but it won't trigger the Pie. It will work as it is supposed to from only 1 side. I'll take a look into the false rechecking though.

Downloads
This is a paid app. You can get it from here.
But I made this free for everyone on XDA.
No stripped features. No ads. No trial version. Plain and simple free for XDA Users.
I will update both the apps here and on Play Store at the same time. So rest assured. Download it at the bottom of the post.
This will never go full paid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If anyone wants to donate, then please download it from Play Store.
But of course try it from here first to see if it fits you or not.

Thanks Buddy.
I will add this app to my rom..
Good work, dude!
This will surely have better performance than the paranoid pie menu version as the characters don't have to be rotated.
Dude, please don't do that, I think we should add a link to his thread instead.
The Dev mentioned it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454531#post45826876
But perhaps I got it wrong?
Got it wrong realized you don t use it for your own custom ROM sorry dude.

Please read the 5th Post.
You can use it for personal use but not distribute it in bulk with a ROM.

Hey guys,
I want to show you my first app "Exquisite Drawer" which I have just released to Play Store.
You can get it right here:
Lite Version: Exquisite Drawer Lite
Pro Version: Exquisite Drawer Pro
You want to know which changes made it recently to the app?
Here you go. Changelog in Post #2
This app I wanna share with you is a replacement for your standard App Drawer.
Now you might think:
"What the heck? Nobody needs this since every phone has already an App Drawer"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And you are right. But then. Go into your apps and look......
Does it look good? Really?
I don't think so. And this is the reason why I created Exquisite Drawer.
What is different with this app? Why would you want to download?
That's a good question. To answer this let me show you some screenshots:
From these Images you can get a lot of information what the app is able to do but I will list the main features here:
- Change Colors of Text and Background individually (so there is no dependency on other elements)
- Enable or Disable sertain UI Elements for your liking (such as Actionbar or Titlestrip)
- Change Textsizes
- Use system or inbuilt font
Also you have the ability to display two different images within Exquisite Drawer.
One on top of the Applist and the other below.
So every time you want to launch an app you will see your favourite image.
The best thing about this is that those images do not affect your workflow since they scroll out of view.
Another exciting Feature is the inbuilt Theme-Switcher. For now there are 6 different designs which can be applied by only one click. At the end of this Post you will see them all.
What else to mention?
The lite version is a stripped down version of the app.
But you get a bunch of features over there too:
- Theme Chooser
- Change background color of Titlestrip
- Change fontsize of Titlestrip
- Hide Applicationicons
- Hide Actionbar
- Enable/disable Headerimage and/or Footerimage
- Choose a custom picture
- Choose side of Navigationdrawer
What are the pro only features?
- Use a custom Font from your sd-card
- Change background and font color of Actionbar, Applist, Navigationdrawer
- Change Textsize of Applist and Navigationdrawer
- Disable various Itemdividers
When I say you can change the color you propably thing about a list of predefined Colors which you can choose from.
But this is not the truth.
Infact you can choose any color you can imagine.
This screenshot shows the Colorpicker:
The same for Fontsizechanger which can be choosen incrementally.
So this was a quite long post. And when you reach this point I wanna thank you. Now there are only some Images to come. At first you will see the whole bunch of settings which are available and after that you will see all of the available Designs.
I hope you like it.

I will try to answer it as fast as possible.

Thank you very much
ok having to write this all again cause it failed previously and message disappeared
anyways i wasn't really expecting anything special when i came here but was curious to see what it was about. so i decided to take it for a quick test drive and i must say im pretty impressed. even considering that it was just a lite version an all lol
the theme options are pretty cool even on their own. (pro allows more color/customizing of course). i was digging the simplistic black n white look too! also like the long hold app option that allows you to go pro, launch app, show app in play store and uninstall app. nice job there!! although i was slightly curious why purple rain & black n white theme didn't have these options?
overall was working smooth, don't remember coming across any bugs which is very good!! couldn't test battery life cause only used for a short period but im pretty sure it wouldn't have affected it much!
well want to say, keep doing what your doing dev! thumbs up from me!! :good:

Great app, keep up on the designs.
Really promising I like to keep my device nice and minimal looking and this does the trick nicely. Cant use it as my default just yet as I rely on custom groups and categories to organise my millions of apps. But it looks like thats on your to do list so keep up the good work. I'll be sure to keep checking back!

What a fantastic app! Have to admit I wasn't sure what to expect, but I have to say it is awesome and I've already purchased the pro version. Well worth $1.30. I would've paid twice that. Very functional and visually impressive. Can't wait to see where the development goes in the future. Great, great job!

This is definitively on my To Do list. But I actually don't know when it will be available. The next thing I am working on is to improve the overall performance and loading process. When this is ready for primetime I will implement new features such as:
- custom Categories
- hiding Apps (with a special feature )
- Exporting and Importing Designs
- Iconpack support
and many other things.
Thank you for your suggestion.
Also to everybody:
If you feel that anything is missing just write me. Also when you think that some strings should be improved just say something and I will look into it.
Really great. Thanks

Is there any way to make this the default drawer from the home screen when you push the app drawer button? Would quite like to give it a try with the Google Now launcher.

Yes, it works. Small bug is, I have put transparency for the image and when I click hide and then show, image is not transparent. I don't know if it is supposed to be like that...
One suggestion is, will it be possible to lock the position??? And pls add an image like grant on left and right sides. It gives an impression like Samsung note edge. Actually, this is the app I want to make, making any device feel like Samsung edge. But I'm not getting time. Pls make this mod.

Great, thanks for the feedback. Yes, transparency is not saved at the moment as I didn't think it would be useful, but I can make sure transparency gets saved. It's an easy mod.
It would indeed be possible to lock the position, there again, a bit of work but not difficult.
As for the last question, I don't really understand what you mean: what's "grant"?
Thanks, I used this code: S6VZDUY7YBA2XDPJKQF6DUV

Quick question if you don't mind. By "lock the position", do you mean:
- save it so that it shows in the same place after hiding it?
- or lock it on the screen so that it can't be moved?
Cheers!
I mean lock it on the screen. It should be with check box.
To be clear, I will use a custom image with two gradient bars on left and right and complete my transparent in the middle(I LL put correct resolution that matches my screen). So, when I use this image, I don't want gradient to come out of the border and so locking the image position will be nice. Pls let me know if you need more clarity...
@StrangerWeather thank you ... I am honored that i helped you...

I understand. It's actually possible to create an option where the overlayed custom image is not only locked on the screen but also where you can touch through it. Basically, you can use your screen as you normally would. It's something I intend to do but it will take some time as I am very busy right now.

Hi StrangerWeather,
Nice work! Thanks for this app
I used this promo code (the second one in your list): KRZFS315TKK1HUJYN9WBK8U
It works as intended on my P9 Lite running MM (EMUI 4.1.1)!
Only a tiny suggestion for now: you should add the possibility to "Never show intro again" (like it already exists in the 3-dot menu) from the intro screen itself.
