Flashlight/torch that works in background? - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anybody know of an flashlight app that works in the background, all the apps I have tried close when I press home. Im coming from the evo with cm7 and the torch worked lined that so I am looking for something similar

There's a flashlight widget on the phone that works in the background. Just place a widget on the home screen and you'll find the flashlight widget on the list.

Try the app FLASHLIGHT, from ZERONE MOBIL INC. It's much brighter than the stock flashlight function.

Put the widget for it on your home screen and it will stay on until you turn it off no matter what you're doing on your phone. If you put the icon link for the app itself it will open the program to a giant button covering the whole screen. If it opens up like that it will close if you do anything else.

Samsung Epic taskbar Radio on/off buttons port to EVO??

I've been searching everywhere and see ports or attempts at the Epic launcher/touchwiz, etc. being ported. I would rather stick with Sense.
However the 4 radio on/off buttons hidden away with the task bar seems perfect and would love to see it ported to the EVO.
Is anybody working on this or have any ideas/suggestions?
Agreed! This would be so amazing… I think the best bet would be for someone to add it to CM6, as it seems more like a core OS feature than an addon.
probably wont happen, I asked about this a few months back and many devs answered with why not. for it to happen we would need to port the framework from the galaxy s phones. it can happen, but it would take a lot of work. i would love this feature too though.
Would love this also....BOUNTY anyone???
Isn't there already an app that can place a control bar in the notication area?

Your sig is obnoxiously large. Why don't you resize it?
I think what you're looking for is bar control

Bar Control is ok. It let's you put app short cuts in control bar. What the Epic task bar does is keep the Radio on/off buttons hidden till you pull down. Something we need but hidden away, yet quickly and easily accessible!
It like receiving a notification in your pull down task bar, but it's permanent!
The market app "Notification Status" comes closest to doing the same thing. It cost .99yuan
I would to also love this function on my EVO. My wife has the Epic 4g & I love the status bar buttons. Tried some other apps, can't find anything that works as simple as the Epic4g buttons.
CyanogenMod Nightly (after build 116) has this built in. You can select what you want to have in the bar, just like for the Power Control widget (WiFi, Bluetooth, Hotspot, GPS, Sound, Brightness, Auto-Sync, Screen shut-off timer, Auto-rotate, 2G/3G (doesn't work on CDMA phones), data on/off, lockscreen on/off, airplane mode, etc.)

I was looking for the same thing, best I could find was using "quick desk beta" (double tap home to bring up a screen over your current app and add whatever widgets you need to it) I have most of the curvefish widgets on it (brightness, gps, airplane, WiFi, auto rotate, etc pretty much everything but a 4g toggle)

Why are there no silent, gps, wifi, etc buttons in notification bar?

Hey.
Why are there no silent, gps, wifi, etc buttons in notification bar?
I believe because its pure stock UI
anyway to put them there? like app or something?
Just wait a bit for Cyanogen and crew to get CM 7 working.
yes you can lookup power control widget in market
use the power control widget that comes stock
Widgetsoid 2.x
You can also use Widgetsoid 2.x from the market to have it appear in the notifications drop down. Make sure you set it to open popup though. Otherwise, it won't do anything.

Works like a champ. Doesn't really work as well as CM7 but fits the bill.

You could always just use the camcorder and keep the flash on if all else fails.
Double Post?
The screen flashed mid writing my post
I use the Notification Toggle that installs to the Drop down menu. It has an option for a Torchlight toggle which works well and is out of the way of normal use.
It is handy so I don't have a separate widget or app I have to find.
I'm using Tiny Flashlight + LED; has a widget that will just turn the led on/off no fuss or anything.
What I liked about the Torch app was that it would allow me to use the "high" mode that was blinding.

[Q] Searched, tested, tried. Toggles in notification bar?

Ok. Looked and tried all kinds of things. I have the Droid bionic. its a great phone. for the most part, i love it. But is there any way to put some toggle switches in my notification bar? toggle notifications takes up too much space, and the all in one requires a pop up. Same for widgetsoid. had the incredible with cm7. If i could have something like power control widget right in the task bar that would be perfect. Or miui's toggle setup. is there anything i've missed?
thanks for your time.

I think it's a known gingerbread issue, no word on the Widgetsoid dev as of late... correct me if I'm wrong. I'm using quickdesk, I googled this problem and found a thread from a droidx forum that recommended the app. Just double tap home to bring up a homescreen that goes over your home screen, or any application you are on and you can put any widget or app of your choosing, it's not as easy as the notification pull down, but it's relatively fast to toggle what you need and you're not taking up screen space. Hope this helps.

Try a app called Notifications Toggle! It's a pretty Handy app!

Funky Acting Home Screen.

I have a stock N5 running 6.0 that has a funky acting home screen. The only two icons that work are the app drawer and camera. Any other app icon does not respond. If you long press an icon it takes you to the widget/wallpaper screen. Like there's nothing there. The notifications at the top are grayed out. If you pull down it says "no notifications". I did a factory reset and problems still exists.
Appreciate any suggestions.
