[Q] LED Flashlight App

Does anyone know of a flashlight app that uses the LED camera light? Most of the ones I found in the market use the screen.

Tiny Flashlight + LED works for me.

Thanks, works here.

Anyone know of an app that combines use of the flash and a text scroller?

Only problem with that app is the fact that the app is not very tiny...

I've just released Tiny Flashlight 3.0. Check out the new widgets!

The problem with the tesla and tiny is it shuts off as soon as you put the display in sleep. Its a pain trying to focus on something in the dark when you have light pointing at you

I agree that it should stay on like droid light when you lock the phone. Its annoying cause I need a light that does not turn off when Im working on cars at night.

i just download Tesla Flashlight and it has an option to stay on when the screen is off and it works fine

telsa is the very best man, youll love it!

LED flashlight app?

I'm having a hell of a time finding one that uses the LED flashlight but also has a decent interface
any suggestions?
I'm coming from the Nexus 1 and there were handful of flashlights specifically designed for that phone alone. Not so much the case with the Note it seems.

I'm using tiny flashlight, has quite a few features

why does tiny flashlight need to read phone status and ID and have full internet access?

I use tesla led

Tesla LED works great, I use it as a widget. Also widgetsoid's toggle switch in mode 2 for flash light works too

Yet another Tesla LED user.
The widget is a godsend for immediate use.
I just gotta find out if I can theme it.

I'll try out Tesla LED. all I want is an LED flashlight, I dont care about anything else like strobe or colored screens

Warning for those who use "screen filter"

It's a great app that dims the screen and make it easier for the eyes, but I found one major bug today. While the filter is on, you wouldn't be able to install any apk's. The button is there, but you can't click it, you can only cancel. Basically it feels like your touchscreen has a dead spot right on the button.
Anyways I was panicking thinking my nexus 7 went crazy, and I uninstalled a lot of apps just to find the culprit. So this is just hoping no one else panic like I did. I also already emailed the developer.

1. It was discussed before, use search.
2. Stop using that crappy app and use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.ScreenDim.Full for reading.

Um, I use that app, but it doesn't dim it lower than the system does. I just use it to quickly adjust the brightness instead of going into the settings.
EDIT: Yeah, I'm an idiot. That's not the same app I use. Just looks very, very similar. None the less, I tried the free version and it did not get noticeably dimmer.

I'm using the app '2x battery' which also has a screen filter feature, no problems in use, also seeing as I paid up for it it allows to filter by colours, so have set it to fade in a purply filter which basically reduces the green tinge my screen has, took some fiddling to get nice result but got double whammy of screen a little dimmer for indoor use and better colour balance, no lag or Faff so far.
Free version just allows a standard dimmer fine for most scenarios

Well I think screen filter is simple and it e works very well. I'm going to continue to use it, just have to turn it off if I'm installing apk's

I use 'Night Mode'

I am using screen filter with Sony bravia engine and it all works great. screen filter still gets blurry at lower dimness though.

Try Root dim or Voodoo display filter. Both are great for the purpose.

This thread I'm only taking about the specific app named "screen filter" though, just so people won't get confused. It works great btw, the screen can get as dim as you want.

The app you want to use is Custom Auto Brightness by Dmitry Matuzko. It lets you set brightness levels based on your light sensor and has the option to use screen brightnesses lower than the programmed limit without using overlays. Obviously you won't be able to go lower than the hardwares limit, but in most cases the manufacturer sets the software limit much higher than the hardware limit.

Onibabar UpdateUpdate
Thanks for posting this thread! I don't even use a "screen filtering" app BUT I was having the same issue were my INSTALL BUTTON was no longer working, and because of this thread I now knew at what sort of 3rd party apps to start looking at. At first I thought it was the ROM I was on, then I thought it was only on 4.2.2 ROMs since it happened on more then one of my setups, and finally, I thought it was a Mod I always use, that gives my phone inverted apps. In the end though, it turned out to be the latest update to the Onibabar app from the Play Store. Its a app that places a battery bar on your screen and the latest update allows it to be positioned going down on either the right or left side of the screen, in addition to the top or bottom. So whenever its set to go on the left or right side, it disables the INSTALL BUTTON when attempting to install an app from a file explorer...

LED Notification Light Deciphering

Been doing some searching, but there doesn't seem to be much info regarding the different colors and frequency of flashes that the LED notification light is capable of, depending on the notification received on the Nexus 4, so here goes.
This is just regarding the stock setup without LED modification apps, etc. So far, I have found that the LED has a few different patterns and colors depending on the type of notification that you receive. I am also wondering if there is any way to adjust the behavior of LED notification light in the stock configuration without additional apps or rooting with custom ROMs, etc. I have checked around within the settings of the different apps but aside from a few giving the option simply to use the notification light or not, it seems that it is not possible to adjust the behavior. Here are the details that I have discovered so far:
- Gmail, stock email app, stock text messaging app, others? - White LED, flashes once every 10 seconds
- Google Voice messages, Ebay app, Official Twitter app - Green LED, flashes once every 2 seconds
- Yahoo Mail - Violet LED, flashes once every 2 seconds
- Facebook, Tasks app, Plume - Blue LED
- Flight Track app - Yellow/Orange LED
- Google Messenger, Calendar, others? - No LED notification flash
This is just what I have observed so far after about a week with this awesome phone. Feel free to add to this list based on your observations and I will update the list. Thanks!

There won't be any way to adjust these without additional apps. It's left up to each particular app to support it and pick a color.
I seem to remember the old TweetDeck app was yellow.

All apps can do different colors, but it just depends on the code. The Google+ used to use Red LED notifications, but they've since returned to using green (I think this is a step-backward, but whatever). Yahoo Mail did Purple when I last used it, and Flight Track uses Orange/Yellow. I suggest just downloading LightFlow or Rooting/Flashing a custom ROM for increased control (you can even specify blink frequency and other settings). The problem is, not many phones have had RGB LEDs, so App Devs have no reason to support them. With the GS3, New RAZRs, and the Optimus G/Nexus 4, hopefully this changes, although the LEDs seem to behave weird on some phone models, especially the RAZRs...

could the red LED be for sync error? google mail had an outage the other day.

Facebook notifications are blue on mine, which is neat.

Good to know, although I don't use Facebook right now.

My LED didn't work from the factory, installed light flow and now at least it works the way I would have wanted it to from the factory.

I wished Google + would use the red LED again. I thought it was cool with the FB blue and G+ red.

Plume (Twitter app) also is Blue by default but can be customized in the settings.

Just got an eBay notification and they use green too. I would have assumed yellow....
Edit:
Forgot to add, the flash rate is fast, like on one second, off one, then back on.

Get Lightflow:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...yYWdlY29uc3VsdGluZy5hbmRyb2lkLmxpZ2h0ZmxvdyJd
It'll take about an eon or so to set up, but once it's up and running it'll change your life. I have customized the LED notifications for all of my different accounts/apps in such a way that I rarely even turn my phone off vibrate anymore - I can tell exactly what is waiting by looking at what color(s) are displayed on the LED.

Good info and thanks for the comments! Also I am aware of light flow but am just looking at the stock setup.

Before I go with lightflow, I'm going to need to see two things. 1. Full compatibility with the N4 (there are bugs) and 2. Proof this won't drain my battery or prevent notifications from appearing. My battery isn't doing too hot and I don't need something else draining it!

One of my LEDs is dead
What color LEDs are there in there? I'm assuming RGB
I noticed my colors are off, tried several LED control apps, particularly "LED Tester", and none can get the Blue LED going. And my white is yellow. G and R are fine. Any advice beyond LED is dead?
I'm so sick and tired of QC on this phone ... I think I'm done with it. Returning for a refund, money wasted on now useless accessories, some of which are still in the mail

I prefer Light Manager. Much easier to set up. Plus notifications for charging.

Lightflow has notifications for charging. I say it's a pain to set up initially because picking a color for 41290 different notifications can take awhile, but the setup really is quite intuitive. It's been changed a lot in the last couple months - might be worth looking again some time.

I've had no issues on my Nexus 4 with it. It's never drained my battery on this nor my Galaxy Nexus. Its memory footprint is tiny and it has no reason to wakelock the phone since all it does is intercept when a notification shows up (so the other app is what actually wakes the phone). It's really well designed.

One question for you. I know that because of how light flow works, if it doesn't support an app the led won't work on that app even if that app has it's own led ability, but will the phone still display the notification (minus the light) for an unsupported app?

If you guys are rooted and installed the stock AOSP browser, for some reason Light Flow breaks it.
Once light flow is installed and permission is set in accessibility, the stock AOSP browser starts behaving badly and stops working correctly.
The autohide url bar stops working, when changed to full screen mode there is either a glitchy image at the top or a blank black area where the url bar is supposed to be. Problem completely goes away once light flow is uninstalled.
Very frustrating because I can't stand Chrome, and I need the AOSP browser + lightflow. It's either one or the other.

Have you talked about this issue in the Light Flow thread here?:

Maybe it helps to get it solved.

As far as showing up in the notification bar? Absolutely. The apps themselves control that, not lightflow.
Personally I don't have any apps that lightflow doesn't support by now, but I'm sure there's some out there.
