Hey guys,
As you know there is an app called which turns on the LED Flash. I tried to use camcorder and Tesla at the same time but seems like camcorder wont work simultaneously with led on.
I was wondering if our developers have an idea to make it work.
using camcorder when its dark it totally not practical.
Froyo (Android 2.2 as you seem to not know) does this.

Try the Nexus one torch. I got it working.
if you open the app from the menu then close it to open the camcorder then it wont work, but the n1 torch has a widget. you can click on the widget to turn it on then clock on the camcorder.
the nexus already does this with the 2.2 froyo update. its built right into the camera app, straight from google themselves.
Im using Froyo actually, I opened Tesla first then opened camera to switch to camcorder but it fc.
I installed rudrigez rom, do you guys have separate camcorder icon, mine just has camera (used to be separate)
Im gonna try torch as u said tnx let u know it worked

No, you can switch the LED on/off. It is built into the video recorder. I use it all the time
My old BB Storm could do that.

heheh yeah, open the camera and switch to video mode. it can now turn on the LED while you record a video in the dark.
This thread should be renamed "iPhone 4 can use flash during video recording just like froyo has always been able to do"

does anyone know how to enable the light on the back to automatically come on when the camera starts. Right now i have to click on the screen then click settings then click flash light, i would just like to skip all that. thanks

This feature would actually make the camera act like a camera....lol
Really wish HTC and Microsoft would finish their programs. It seems like they start it and quickly make everthing work....sort of.....lol
waiting for this too...

to go left or right you actually need to click between the buttons (ex. between home and call) there is actually a youtube video teaching people how to do it.

well you are correct, it still hit the ok if i go fast but i can live with that but i still want my flash to come on when the camera comes on
thanks for the tip and making me look stupid lol
for athena it is not a setting in registry. just DeviceIoControl calls to set led on and off, while camera program is running. i wouldn't be surprised if touch pro is the same :/
in that case easiest i could think of is make a small app that does:
1) look in registry for setting if flashlight should be on or off when starting camera
2) load driver (or the camera api dll) and send the ioctl for ON if the registry value is set so
3) then it would launch the camera exe and then exit
4) whole thing would be registered in place of camera program for programs etc
(or patch camera app but that would be a bit more than a couple of bytes long patch. )

That sounds logical. It could actually poll the light sensor when the camera is run and then turn on the flash...

I don't think it polls the light sensor unless somethings wrong with mine cause i just went into a dark room waited about 30sec then turned on the camera and no flash unless i turned it on manually

I was implying that if someone could write a script or something that they could poll the light sensor to see if it was dark. Then tell the camera to turn on the flash.....lol
That's what i wish would happen. Thanks for testing it out though...lol

What about skipping the polling and just having the flash on every time the camera is on day or night. Girls love a flash going off.
Maybe there is a command line for this?

Auto flash on camera??
Is there a rom/cab/file/tweak that gets the cameras flash to work automatically as opposed to having to manually turn it on - this is silly!

it's semi-automatic if you turn it on, it's only lighting half's its power. When you take a shot it's flashes
However, you're absolutly right, we need more options
nope, i couldnt find it. In the past there was an other HTC model (dont remember which one) who also had a flash light but also didnt work aswell.
This is in development right now. There is a thread regarding this. I am just to lazy to search for it today.
cool well its good to know its in development, i cuoldnt find it either - Xperia has the saem problem
strange really but hope they sort it out its time cnsuming and annoying - seeingas we are able to use things like Htorch i cant see it being a big deal unfortunately i cant cook otherwise id be on it
any news with this?

Anyone else having trouble with their trackball light not working on non-google apps?
non google apps? as in some 3rd party chat client or something?
if so then it depends on the app if it features the trackball light..
Sent from my Nexus One
i'm not getting the notification sound for emails, either?
edit: relating to the thread topic, trackball light for sms popup isn't going off like it was with froyo. unrooted stock here.
eric b
Well it would be like for chompSMS or SMS Popup, it just wouldn't work.
Same with me, i think Google disabled the trackball light in 2.3.
More likely that the app devs just need to update their apps to work better with GB.
Mine seems to have stopped working altogether.
ya.. now mine is gone too..
edit: I just reinstalled sms popup.. and now everything works just like it was..
idk what's happening.!

I agree, I think the developers of certains apps just haven't updated to gingerbread yet, including Blink.
I've also noticed the flashlight widgets/apps don't work now either
Edit: oh, I'm also stock. Will this finally be the thing that forces me to root? Nah, I'm too big of a wuss (and lazy
Found a solution. Look for "Light Flow" in the Market, works like a charm.
I d/l the free app and it covers a lot, the paid app ($1 ish) allows even more (social apps, etc.).

The "Torch" flashlight widget works fine for me.
Been using Light Flow app for a week for trackball alerts with no issues, but you want the latest market version for GB.

Same.
The LED would blink on boot so I knew it wasn't the LED.
I restored and now my notifications blink repeatedly only if the screen is off. Once I turn my screen on (doesn't matter is I unlock the phone or not, dismiss the notification or not- literally just turn the screen on) the notification LED stops blinking. If my phone screen was on when I get the notification, the LED doesn't blink at all...
Ideas? Solutions?

Put up the walkman app at your home screen... then touch the walkman app and immediately touch the Home Button. You will see the Illumination working up.
You can use this glitch or just his app (if you are rooted)

Saved my life and i loved it so much !!! you can use it with custom music players too and even games produce a light effect !!!

Another way is to start the music, locking screen while in music application, turning on screen without unlocking, opening an app (for example from setting shortcut) and then music pulse will stay when relocking your phone

Alright, so I can't find the answer to my question anywhere so I am posting here.
Is there anyway to keep the LED light on for taking pictures? I hate how the LED only turns on when the picture is actually being taken because the pictures are always out of focus or over exposed. I would like to either have a way to keep the flashlight running in the background with the camera on or some other kind of mod to do essentially the same thing.
I am on rooted 4.3 with S-off. If you need any more details, let me know!
EDIT: Alright, I found a flashlight app that keeps the flashlight on without being in the app or the screen being on. The problem, however, is that if it is on, the camera app says "Unable to start camera" when I try to open it. Perhaps the stock camera app needs a mod to allow the LED to be on when launched?

You could always start videorecording and keep the flash on during the entire recording. Meanwhile you can tap the photo button to take pictures. Delete the videoclip afterwards. Thats the only way I think. Or maybe with an app, but I have no clue which one would suit your needs.

While that would work if I really needed it, the pictures would be 1920x1080 instead of the 4mp. I'm really looking for an app or mod to allow the flashlight to stay on without the app being open.

I tried everything, but it just crashes. I even tried deleting the app's data.
This helped for me. Try to hold on the app and run one of the function: "Make selfie" or "Record the video" after that camera will work, but sometimes when i launch camera on the common mode, i have a black screen again.
How good is it? Care to share some side-by-side photos? (stock -> google camera)?

In the other thread there are several comparison pics. I doubt you can get it working without canera2 api which needs root to enable. Without HDR+, whats the point of having gcam?

camera 2 api doesnt need root. just needs an unlocked bootloader. I would be better if we spam tweets to mi to unlock camera 2 api with next update as nokia 6.1 plus has it enabled out of the box.
