Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

The latest version of this app really suck hard when it comes to taking video and trying to enable the flash at the same time. The Camera won't let the flashlight enable and once you trying to do that, the camera resolution compressed and you see people like the lord of the ring half length hobbits.

Everthing look like shorten lol. This bug need to be report.....

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

Bump, please help. Video record no longer works with flash light on. The new version also requires another step... I use to just open the camera lens and turn on flash light but now I have to also make sure I'm not in the camera app for it to work.

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

dude! read the previous few pages. the solution is to uninstall the version you got and install the older version back. version 0.2.0 will work. version 3 won't work.

download the flashlight below and follow the terminal commands

to install it you need to be as root. install yhe little app to enable root. and then type;

sudo gainroot

$: dpkg -i directoryOfYourFILE/yourFile.deb

mine is:
dpkg -i /media/mmc1/flashlight.deb

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

Thank you so much. Got the old version back and working great. I used to enjoy dos scripts but finding linux difficult...

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

Is there a way to access flashlight without the annoying camera app popping up? I have to close the camera first...annoying

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

Thanks for this great app. I have a suggestion to simplify the step turning on the flash light.

When the lens cover is opened, is possible to show a screen that let me to select whether to use the camera or the flash? I have to agree currently the extra step to close the camera application is indeed annoying.

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

I agree, this would be the best way. How do we contact the developer of this app?

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

should the future update also include the flashlight option during the shooting a vid?

The older version included it and I for one, would like to see it back.

Thanks, sent the question:

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

Erm, rmoravcik has no control over what happens when the lens cover is flipped open. The closed-source Camera application - running in the background - is programmed to listen to the signal that is emitted upon the event of the cover being opened. There's dodgy workarounds scattered around on this forum to make the Camera application not able to listen to these events but, being dodgy, I'd love to see them integrated into the applet. :)

Best bet is to vote here: http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...vation_choice/

i cant find flaslight in the app manager, the thing is i remember i downloaded but i cant find it on my cell

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

To: peacekeper

Open camera cover, close the camera application, then click on the status bar and scroll until you see the Flashlight status. You can change it from "Off" to "On" and vice versa.

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

kiralema thks for the info, yeap the flashlight is there thks once again.

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

cant remember the thread, but someone was making an app to customize the camera lens actions, IE when you open lens, asks you if you want to use camera/flashlight/other...... I remember they said wait for pr1.2, well I have the "RC" so would this work and is it available?????

thanks!

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

I'm working on such thing, but I didn't release anything yet :-) Maybe someone else is doing the same thing too.

Using my launcher you will be able to redefine preferred application (eg. opening cover will start different application then camera app) or simple application selector dialog will show up or simply nothing happen when you open lens cover.

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

okay cool thanks... im willing to test !!

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

RELEASE!!! ;)
I´m also willing to try.

I would like to start flashlight when open the lens cover.
a "hard" push on the camera button should start the camera application.

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

cool, but i want features and settings !!!!!


:D

(please)

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

I have flashlight installed, and its been working perfectly for a while... however I now can no longer find it in the status menu i've tried reinstalling but with out any success.

My 2g/3g/Dual applet in the status menu has also disapeered, is there anything that could cause status menu to stop functioning properly?

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

@kevinm2k: have you tried scrolling down in the status menu drop down? Maybe you've installed other apps that have pushed those two apps down? HTH

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

nah there is only about 5 things in my status menu.just the default basically.

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

Just reboot your N900

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

Is your lens cover open?

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

Lens cover is open, and i've tried rebooting and reinstalling, anything other than default I had in my status menu seem to have gone! :(

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

Here too flashlight is gone; it shows as installed in the app manager, rebooting or reinstalling didn't work... perhaps you can make the icon to install in the normal menu or so?

Paai

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

stupid, stupid, I completely forgot to open the lens cover and close the camera application.
Still, it would be nice if the icon would be visible at all times and display a text when the camera cover is closed.

Paai

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

is the flashlight add on compatible with this? it doesnt seem to work for me. the add on allows holding the lock button and opening the lens cover to activate flashlight.

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

I second this question. I cannot get the addon to work. Though having to uninstall the original flashlight application would defeat the purpose.

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

Great app! Does anybody know for how long you can use the torch before the battery runs out?

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

I'd imagine if you have the torch on long enough to drain a fully charged battery you're more likely to burn out the LEDs

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

anybody knows how to copy the flashlight icon to the desktop?? do i need to edit the hildon files? since its a bit cumbersome to flip the lens cover the touch the upper side for the drop down menu

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

I was using it around 4 hours. I lost in mountains and sun goes down and my n900 was only source of light i had.
It could last longer i had previously used gps, sending texts and making photo.

It's wise to turn it of from time to time to not burn your led.

Re: [Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 

hello friends sorry for old thread reply, I need new app for enhancing flashlight capacity of iPhone 4. DO you have any information about these apps? Waiting for reply:cool:
