During my Nexus 5x days, my daily driver was Pure Nexus, and one of my favorite features was the ability to enable/disable the flashlight/torch via holding the power button (with the screen off mainly).
I know PN is available for the Pixel right now, but I'm trying to stick with Stock for as long as I can so I can take OTA's. Does anyone know how to get the same torch functionality? I am currently rooted and have found several non-root apps that allow 3 taps of the power button to enable torch...but it's not the same thing as being able to long-press with the screen off! I liked being able to take my phone out of my pocket, hold the power button to enable torch, then tap the power button one more time to disable...all without turning on the screen.
Thanks all in advance for your help!
Did you ever find something? I miss that I could do that on my n5x too.
Maybe not exactly what you are looking for but I am loving Torchie right now. It has brought one of the best and simplest things from custom roms. It tends to be a bit of a power hog when enabling use with the screen off, but I have found it is pretty easy to manage. Non-root as well.
I wish Android would add this feature as stock it's such a useful feature

I ended up biting the bullet and going to Pure Nexus. It has been rock solid for me, and this feature among others make it well worth the effort and few nuances there are. I will agree, though, it would have made it a tougher decision to move away from stock if Google had this feature built-in!

I've been with pure Nexus every step of the way with this pixel and bless that guy's heart for continuing the good work that he's been doing.
but like you I want Oreo now and a way to activate the flash light just by holding down the power button when the screen is off
Honestly this was really the only reason that I stayed on pure Nexus for so long and one of the main reasons that I actually root in my pixel in the first place for. This is one of the most convenient modifications I've ever ran across and I actually use it every single day for so many different things. I just upgraded to Android 8.0 Oreo and am horrified that there is no simple solution for this on Oreo yet. Could somebody please implement this into Oreo somehow on the system level, possibly within the kernel or something of that nature?
Just wanted to give an update. I found button mapper with root seems to work great with volume down for the flashlight. It seems to break a couple things though
(volume down to take picture and DND mode) and I need to contact the developer. It works great for turning on and off the flashlight though with screen off or on. (requires root).

First of all, I'm glad some of you are resurrecting this post. Maybe someone much smarter than me can explain how the developer of Pure Nexus is able to implement this? These developers never ceases to amaze me in what they can add on the front of functionality...but is it not possible to develop (again, someone much smarter than me) a flashable zip to implement this?
I like how much Google continues to add in to stock Android on customization and features that we used to have to root for. This flashlight mod would almost certainly keep me on stock...

I'm trying to figure out how to change some of the option menus in the Camera app before I submit this to CM source for review, (because it's apparently a huge pain in the ass I guess...) but in the meantime, let me know if you find either of these useful.
**NEW** (02/03/2011)
Unified version with new settings menu!!
(and here's the source code)
(feel free to download and try these out!)
It's branched from the CM7 source, but it might work on CM6, I have no idea. Just install it over your current installed Camera app.
Enjoy

Any change a developer could do a mod to add the Galaxy Nexus navigation buttons to the screen? I for one don't like the physical home button and would really like the screen buttons. If the unoffical AOKP rom had the standard AOKP custom nav button mod I would be all over it but seeing how it's unofficial/alpha and the CM10 roms are very alpha I'd rather wait. Based on the info I found it's relatively easy mod if you know how to decomplie and recompile the framework-res.apk. I attempted to do this but kept running into issues and my limited knowledge of Android development (to say the least) seems to be the biggest huddle.
IMO, I'd still like the native button active but others would prefer them disabled.

Of course the framework is different, one is TouchWise and one is CM9/CM10 but that has absolutely nothing to do with a developer modifying the stock TW framework-res.apk with this mod. Why do users who have no clue keep adding their useless 2 cents? I now understand why the developers get so frustrated and the development forum in highly moderated!

I don't see why agreeing with someone preference for something and calling them out regarding a statement that seems clueless has anything to do with each other. Unless he knows for a fact that the Touchwiz ICS framework-res.apk has been stripped of the navigation button code (not just disabled) his comment was clueless... Having a 1000+ posts does not make someone an expert and if he knows for a fact then he should have said the TW ICS framework has been stripped of the navigation bar code...
There are plenty of opinions on the value of the mod. The original thread link I posted seemed to suggest there are a lot of people who want this. This thread so far may not support that for US users... Oh, well... If there is no dev that wants to do this mod then I guess I'll wait for a stable release of AOKP where I can modify/add buttons too...
Thanks!

As I said in my post, "it won't work on the stock ROM". The support for it is just not there in TouchWiz. You can modify the framework-res.apk if you want (I've tried), but it just won't work. If you want on screen navigation keys, you'll need to get onto CM/AOSP.
Here are my reasons for preferring nexus style on-screen buttons:
1. I no longer have to overextend my thumb to press the menu button when holding the device with one hand. Usually this results in my palm hitting something on the screen unintentionally.
2. Once frustrated with #1, I will tilt the device down (increasing the chances of dropping the phone) to be able to successfully press the menu button. With on screen buttons I no longer have to do this.
3. If 1&2 are not an option I am forced to use 2 hands to control the device. With on screen buttons this is no longer so.
4. I will no longer accidentally press menu or back while playing a game in landscape mode.
5. I will no longer accidentally tap something on the bottom edge of the screen when attempting to press the back or menu button. Because it is a far stretch, part of my thumb will often interact with the lowest point of the screen before interacting with the back or menu button.
The slogan for this device shouldn't be "Designed for humans" but rather "Designed for gorilla hands".
If possible, I would also like to see on screen buttons on touchwiz.

Yeah I think there are ways you can take it out of the TW ROM and place it into CM10...I'm just waiting for CM10 to stabalize and off I go! I've had it for a few days and seems good! the HDR Camera+ and Camera360 are great too!
I haven't seen anything like that. The TW camera app is what has kept me from going to CM10. I also like the TW calendar more than AOSP.

Personally, the one thing I would love if it worked right is the smart stay. I love the idea behind it, but in practicallity, unless I have the phone oriented just right it won't work. I've check the camera without moving, and I've had more than 3/4 of my face in easy view and still the screen would shut off.

The smart stay doesn't actually recognize your face. It throws that little eyeball notification in the status bar so it will distract you and your eyes move to "see what it is" the camera picks up your eye movement(or doesn't) and either keeps the screen on or not.

I purchased this amazing phone bout a week ago. The one thing that bugs me is theres no notification in a visual form when receiving SMS / call
I was wondering if theres a way to make the Menu|Home|Back|Search buttons(hard buttons?) blink once every few seconds to let me know of new SMS or call.
Im new to android, Ive rooted / installed CWM and have nandroid backups. Also, edited some config files, so Im fairly comfortable navigating around the heart of android & linux on the phone. Plus fairly well versed in linux.
Only thing I have not done yet is install any custom ROM's, I prefer stock w/ root, thus far as I like everything working =P

It's a kernel-based mod from what I have gathered, commonly referred to as BLN (backlight or backlit notification - something like that at least). I hear folks more knowledgeable than I associated w/ erikmm and team fah-q are working on attempting to figure such things out.

Thanks for the answer dude, cant wait till the mod is complete. The NOLED and such programs, can really eat battery life cuz they gotta turn the display on...which is what I dont want, but may check it out.
Hello all,
I have an LG G2 and I'm finding myself too many times trying to double tap my shield tab to turn it on. Is there a way that we can implement this feature to our existing kernel?

Yes I agree. I was just looking for a way to do that and liked it on the Nexus 7 UHD. I was hoping we could use Xposed.
Wouldn't the Kernel require init.d capability to load modules like DT2W? I think the kernel needs some flags set in it to allow the module to load.
I seem to remember Franko (or his legion of loyal subscribers) talking about this in his kernel threads.

If you add the module instead of flashing a kernel with it built in you'd have to make an init.d script to start it on boot. I'm not sure if the difference in soc will cause any issues but I found the related files doing a search in flar2's git.
Ohhhh. I was wondering what all was involved to get closer for it to work on it. I hope someone can come up with something or maybe include it in a future ROM. I hate to try to find the power button and then push on it. I am glad to see this tablet has a future on XDA! :fingers-crossed:

One thing I do to avoid the power button for screen on is to lift the stylus up. Not as good as a double tap but effective.
The Smart Cover cases also help work around this issue.
I hadn't thought of the stylus trick. I did go a head and get the magnetic case. It works really well.

Cool, what one did you get out of interest?

I have a smart cover on its way but if you already have it open, I want to double tap to wake.

It's the ProCase SlimSnug Case for NVIDIA Shield Tablet. It's Ultra Slim and light, Hard Shell Cover. I got it off Amazon. I love it!

You can use the Knockr app off the Play Store. It can be buggy, but it should do what you want.
Works a treat. This combined with GMD gesture control=win

Personally, I like the Swipe app better. Swipe from edges to go to the last or next app, and double tap the side to open up the Recents. GMD is packed with a lot of other features, but I don't think they're all helpful. Swipe is better at app-switching. It's cleaner and has nice animation options as well. GMD seems good if you want to use a lot of custom gestures though. Technically, I guess you can use both. I do also have fancy gestures enabled in Nova Launcher.
