Re: N900 Video Recording with LEDs
 

I find this feature useful as well, especially if try to do video while camping or in a night club, etc.

However, the question to be asked, is there a reason beside conflicts with the red led light that this was changed? Meaning will it break/ crash/ make it unstable?

could that ever be because red light is mandatory by law in some country? if so, big phail

Re: N900 Video Recording with LEDs
 

That would seem to be likely, however this was dev'd by a 3rd party person. So I'm guessing the blame would then be placed on the individual.

Won't work for me I've put the v412 file in root, /home/user, /home/user/MyDocs and tried the command ./v412etc and it gave me a no permission error. I did sudo gainroot already. Also installed the 0.3 version of flashlight but it did not work with the video mode. it said it was in use.

I installed this version but still can't use the LEDs during video recording :(

Re: N900 Video Recording with LEDs
 

You probably need to do a chmod +x v4l2ctl first before running it.

Re: N900 Video Recording with LEDs
 

You don't need to do any of that.

Download the old version (0.2.0) which does what you want here - http://espejo.freemoe.org/repository....2-0_armel.deb

Transfer that to your phone in /root then run the following as root

Re: N900 Video Recording with LEDs
 

Many apologies upfront, but when I connect my n900 to my laptop, I can't find any folder labeled 'root'. How is this done? Thank you in advance for any insight you can give.

Re: N900 Video Recording with LEDs
 

if you installed the deb file its probably in MyDocs. to get to root you have to use x_terminal
sudo gainroot
