Ah, unfortunately, I don't think so; at least not with the white LEDs. I could do that with the red LED, but even with that one we've only got seven levels of brightness, so I don't know just how smooth it would look...

another thing I want is, an 'on/off' button for the strobe instead of holding the button.
Well, if I could determine an absolute safe level of strobing, I'd do that. Right now, I don't want the strobe to be continuously on, as running the flash LEDs at high power continuously can damage them...

oh yeah, and a harmattan port please!
Well, hmm. I don't have an N9 myself to test against, and I've never tried to produce N9 code before, but changing targets from Maemo to Harmattan in the Qt SDK takes nothing more than flipping a switch. Other than the camera cover, I suspect the flash hardware on the N9 is similar. I suppose I could give it a shot, if there is interest...
