Torch app? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Anyone found a torch (or flashlight, light, whatever) app that works? None of the ones I've tried work :'( Widget would be cool too.

"Tiny Flashlight + LED" works a charm for me.

Same here, has a neat widget that allows you to control use the LED light, or light up the screen in a desired colour etc.

I might try develop one that fits with the ICS them as my first application

torch app for nexus
I like TeslaLED. I like the widget w/o name. Works great.

there was a similar thread going around a few months ago where someone suggested Search Light, i've been using it since. it's very simple, has no ads, and also doesn't have all the extra permissions that a lot of these torch/flashlight apps seem to require. all it needs is access to the camera.
Market Link
Old thread with some other feedback on some of the apps mentioned above

Search Light is absolutely cleanest and sleekest.

"Galaxy Nexus Flashlight" from the Market. It's free and works exactly like the Cyanogen torch.

Quick Settings / Quick Toggles

Hi all
Is there a quick toggle mod for the notification drop down menu like found on stock TouchWiz and Sense devices? Not looking for widgets on the "desktop"
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
You can try Widgetsoid in the Market. It will allow you to place themed toggles in the notification area without a widget. Just make sure you select "hide widgets".
That could work, however, I was looking more for a hard mod that could be flashed in there, like in past devices that I've used that didn't feature this by default (back in the Sense 2.1 days).
Like this? Its available on this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383210

I haven't seen a separate mod. You can always ask the rom developer to make a flashable zip for you.

Yes, as long as the major toggles are all there (wifi, bt, gps, etc...) that is exactly it. Of course, on Touch Wiz, it's just one horizontal line of toggles (like the widget on the Nexus), and that is the cleanest. On sense 3.0, it's a vertical list of toggles.

I tried turning on the notification toggle in widgetsoid, it doesn't even show up for me.
Also, seeing how the music player can have different buttons in the same row, I don't see why it can't be possible for other apps to use this functionality too.
Edit: Widgetsoid works perfectly, almost exactly the same as the CM toggle bar (sans the side scrolling)
Someone should be able to make a new app for ics,
you can add buttons in the dropdown now so it should be possible with out a custom rom or even root
Is this what you are looking for?

"With this app, you can place different toggles into your Android status/notification bar for quick access without having a dozen toggle-widgets on your homescreens
You can choose which toggles to display in the settings of the app. You can also choose to combine different toggles into one "all in one" notification.
Unfortunately, on most devices you can only define one action per notification, so on these it will show a small dialog with the available toggles when clicking on the "all in one" notification. But some devices (seems like all devices with HTC Sense ROM) can distinguish where in the notification you clicked and on these you don't have to see the dialog.
The app is for free in the Android market, would be nice to get some feedback"

Posted this in another thread, but this one works fine on the N7.
That said, the Google service seems to be down, has been down all day for me, on all my devices, which span Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, ICS, and Jellybean.

Mine started working again this morning, having been down for most of yesterday.
Works good just can't get into the setting to change anything or customize my feeds. I though the galaxy nexus didn't have a physical menu key, I figured it would trigger the on screen menu key automatically.

Works well, but is there any way to make the widget bigger? Looks kinda small on the N7 home screen.

If you use Apex or another 3rd party launcher you can re-size it. Sadly, the JB launcher isn't quite as versatile as the 3rd party ones when it comes to resizing widgets, I believe it relies on the widget itself to tell it what sizes it can be and if that information is lacking in older widgets, she no resize.

[Q] Search for flashlight widget

Hi everyone. Is there any widget for using the led as a flashlight that does not appear as an application. Need something that is just a widget like the one in the Galaxy Note. Tried various apps on Play store like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEwNCwiY29tLmZsYXNoLmxpc2dodC53aWRnZXQiXQ..
and none of them are what i want. If this has already been asked somewhere please direct me. Thanks in advance
I'm pretty sure aokp uses torch just as a widget and no icon. I wish CM10 did that. Hmm I wonder if pull the aokp torch and replace the CM10 version if it would be a power notification widget only...

Widgetsoid, it can have the toggles in the notification bar. I don't know why you are against having that kind of app showing in the app drawer..

Seen this on android central feed, I like it a lot but my only gripe is the fact that the stock LS collapses it. I would love if it can stay "open" all the time instead of having to swipe down to see missed calls or texts. And the damn settings button always shows as well.

Works very well, i like it.
May be more options will be included in the next upgrades.

Good question.

It uses Yahoo Weather, as stated, and apart from adding the extension it should just pick up your location. I didn't have to manually add it. Whether it is done by GPS or Mobile Network location, it just seemed to take for me.

This used to happen to me . Then i disabled the option to use home screen widgets in lock screen from my custom rom menu.
But now there is a new version from this app, that allows your homescreen widget to have full transparent background.
Yes i just updated recently, now how can i resize the overall icons and texts? They're so big... and i have to slide down to see the rest of the notifications.

There is one. Search for dashclock extensions on the play store.
I love the widget. Its fantastic. The only issue I've had is refresh time. I don't know if its there app or what, but I had a missed call yesterday morning. Even though I cleared the notification and even called them back it never went away from the widget. Hope he fixes it soon

Did you have a solution for this issue ? My LockScreen also take 2/3 from the Screen, so i cant see the full DashClock
Unless you have some sort of Lockscreen control built into the ROM, and enabled maximize lockscreen widgets or however it's worded, then there doesn't seem to be a way to force it to max size. Unless someone has found another method, which I am eagerly looking for.
I'm loving this, but the weather doesnt seem to show for me. Even tried defining a location in the default clock to see if it was connnected.
looks nice...

Torch App

Does anyone have recommendations for a torch (flashlight) app?
I really like the one that CM10.1 has, but when I tried to install it on a Touchwiz ROM it keeps force closing. It works on the CM10.1 nightlies for the GS4.
Isnt there stock widget for torch ?

I have many app ideas, but don't have the skill or the time to learn how to make an app. if you would like to know an idea and attempt to make one, just message me.
I like the stock torch widget. It's a little bit ugly but it turns on instantly when you press the widget. Others take a second to light up.
