Flashlight

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.

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

[Q] GingerDX problem

Hey guys, I have installed GingerDX on my x10 mini pro but I have a problem with backlight of physical keyboard. Can you help me please?

Som roms have broken features in them that get worked on and eventually fixed. There really is no immediate fix, just keep an eye for updates and it is more than likey that eventually your back light will be working fine.

if I use the settings of Cyanogen dle lighting display automatically illuminates the keyboard and slide it off fully, but if I use the system settings I have to open the slide and set the brightness every time I want the backlight of the keyboard.

Anybody canzona gelo me?

[Q] after camera phone wont wake up

Hi,
I have this wierd problem with my sensation. I found out that if i have my camera on and it falls a sleep it wont unlock any more. no ring nothing.buttons glow but a solid black screen. The only way out is a battery pull.
It's with photo camera and video camera mode. no other apps suffer fom this.
I've tried other roms but nothing. I currently run ARHD 3.6.7
I found out on accident but it is realy annoying me now
Any of u with the same problem or ideas?

known issue with kernel. not sure which kernels. try keepscreen app to keep screen awake if using camera so it doesnt freeze

Yeah, it's bricked kernel. Doesn't matter what version you use, it seems to keep on happening randomly.

Hi,
Go into Bricked Kernel post, there is a .zip file called, CAM-FIX.zip
Flash that, magic will happen =]

Thanks guys, I've all ready flashed an other kernel and it works all fine now.
CAM-FIX.zip on the other hand is only for sense 3.5 and I really prefer sense 3.0

The camfix patch is so the camera can even function in the first place, it does not fix this issue. Without the camfix, if you try to use the camera the screen just goes black and the phone freezes. This issue however is an intermittent one, where sometimes when you exit the camera you get the black screen and freeze. Doesn't happen all the time, but it's definitely the kernel at fault.
To the OP, if in your case it's only happening once the screen times out, you could always use tasker to make it not timeout when using that app?

[Q] What ROMS (other than Droidkang) have the ability to disable "Smart Cover Wake?"

[Q] What ROMS (other than Droidkang) have the ability to disable "Smart Cover Wake?"
I am currently running DK19 and one feature I love is that I can disable "Smart Cover Wake," it's in the display submenu. I have a flip cover and when that is enabled, when you close the flip cover the phone sleeps, and wakes up when you open it. I like to disable it at times, especially if I want to listen to something from youtube, but not watch it.
With DK not being updated often, I'd like to move to another ROM. Today I tried 3 other roms: Sensonic HD, Mahdirom, and AICP. None have this feature to be able to disable "Smart Cover Wake." I asked the dev behind cRoid about it, and he said he'd look into it, but he just released a new build so it could be a while,
Just wondering if someone knows of other current roms right now that have this feaure that allows you to disable smart cover wake. I'd love to jump on a current rom that has this feature.
Thanks!!

I think I saw an xposed module that has an option to disable smart cover wake. Don't remember what its called but have a look around in their repository.

Thanks. I did look through the xposed list several times, couldn't find it. Anyone know of any roms other than DK that have it?
Thanks!!

I would also gladly settle for a current custom rom that does not have smart cover at all, i.e. a rom that if you use a flip cover, opening and closing the cover does not wake/sleep the phone.
Thanks!

I might be wrong but I think CM does not have this feature. Or at least did not back in December !

CM does not have it, I have tried CM and other CM based ROMS. Like I said, I have it on DroidKang (which is CM based), but I'd like to find it on other ROMS since DroidKang is not active. Surely there is another Nexus 5 ROM out there that has ability to disable smart cover wake. I don't think the dev behind DroidKang (who is now missing) developed this.

How To make notification LED work with Light Flow while screen on?

I'm trying to get the notification LED to work while the screen is on.
I've managed to get it working while the screen is off. While that is nice, I want it to work while the screen is off too. I've found this guide and tried it, but it doesn't work on my OPO, which has a different ROM version. I have Xposed and XLED installed.
My situation:
Light Flow Legacy
Omnirom 6.0.1-20160116-find7op-HOMEMADE
Does anybody know a way to get the screen on notification led working? I know it must be possible, because when the phone setting is enabled to show the LED while charging, it does show while screen on or off. However, Light Flow notifications only show while the screen is off.

Not related to your question but get on the Omni nightlies there are some great new additions to the ROM. Don't dirty flash from a homemade though. Clean flash and go through settings, Advanced, more, phone app etc. Also you can edit power profiles with your own CPU and GPU settings for specific apps.
I've never seen a way to have light flow work with screen on. I bought the app ages ago but don't use it ?

Where do I find the nightlies then? I thought I had the latest installed, because I found a thread mentioning the latest stable release being from 2015, so I figured the homemade version I have from 2016 was the latest. However, searching some more yielded http://dl.omnirom.org/find7op/ . Are those the actual nightlies you're talking about?

Yes those are the ones I'm surprised you replied in the nightlies thread but are still on the homemade builds. Get the latest one and clean flash preferably you won't be disappointed and don't freeze advanced there are some options in there you can try
