[Q] Working torch app?

Anyone found a working torch app for the SGN?
Tiny flashlight + LED only seems to work some times only, but not everytime I try to use it.

Galaxy Nexus Questions

Is it possible to add torch to GN? I tried several market apps and none are supported by GN.
Also what are 3 golden pins for, on the right side on phone?

The app for a flashlight is called flashlight. Search for it in the market

My main flashlight has been Tesla LED, but it seems to have a a 3 second or so wait between pressing the torch and the light coming on. Hopefully they will patch it up soon and it will be a great torch app on the Nexus Prime.

works great.

Hi,
does USB Jig for Galaxy S/Galaxy S2 work on Nexus?

I tried a load of flash light apps, all which seemed to have taken forever from when you press the switch to when the light went on.
Apart from 1 app called "search light" https://market.android.com/details?id=com.scottmain.android.searchlight . The flash turns on instantly, and you can have the screen show you what the camera sees, which is very useful when looking for things in the dark!
I can't recommend search light enough!

I agree with darkgruff , tiny works great and just added shake to turn on in the lock screen

I don't know if you are rooted or not but AOKP's roms have a torch built in and you can enabled it as a toggle in the notification bar. Works perfectly.

LED Flashlight

Can someone suggest nice app for flashlight purpose?
Which one are you using?

Tiny Flashlight works well for me.

I'm liking "Your Flashlight - Torch - ICS".

I used telsa for a while and it works perfectly but I switched to tiny flash light because of the features that it has. I didnt even think of some of the features it offers, for example you can 'shake' your phone in the lockscreen and it will turn on the LED light.

I found tiny flashlight to have less delay when switching it on than Tesla. I use Tiny Flashlight because of this. I will definitely be testing others.

Try flashlight+led

[REQ] Speed up LED Notifications in Jelly Bean

So, I've been running Jelly Bean for the past few days, and I'm loving it. It's been a little tough coming from AOKP and not having all the features, but I know they're working hard. I've noticed that LightFlow isn't working quite right yet with Jelly Bean. I was wondering how hard it would be for someone to make a zipthemer or a flashable .zip to change the LED notification on/off duration. I was thinking blinking every .5 to 1 second. Anyone else with me? Thanks in advance!

Light flow works great on my phone. All you have to do is open and close the app when the led stays on

Yes open let the app load then close. That will clear all the led that are on for no reason.

I'm finding light flow hardly works at all. On rare occations it would work and that would be if i reset the app and have a persistent icon. I'm really missing this app too. I hope the developer fixes it or someone else gives us an alternative. It's one of those apps id gladly pay $5 dollars for, possibly $10 if it was flawless.

light flow was fixe last week, and it is jelly bean compatible. works fine for me (v. 3.0.4) :good:

You don't have to do this anymore since it was updated for jb. Surprise you didn't realize that unless you don't get updates because you didn't pay for the app

Light flow is not working at all for me,
I run the debuger widget and the light flow notification widget and they indicate that the app simply does not pick up any of my notification.
I have tried everything i can think of to get it to work, like removing other apps that i suspect may be interfering but no luck.:crying:

For those who have issues, you can try trackball alert, available on play store.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go!

LED notification....

Does the Gnex have an LED notification light? I have yet to see one.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Sure does. Its below the display. RGB too.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

The notification light in Gnex is one of my favourite options in the phone. Some ROMs provide full customization of the notification light ( ex. Paranoid android) . I've set it to flash blue for missed calls , yellow for SMS, green for whatsapp and red for tango

It only lights up when the screen is off?

Correct

When I first got it I actually did not know that it had a LED notification light. I got a phone call and noticed the light and I was amazed and I immediately loved my phone more

The rom has to support it, and you have to manually set it up...

I installed light flow. That's how I found it. I'm running Affinity rom and have not seen it work before. Maybe the rom doesn't support it.

Lightflow has been really flaky for me (misses many notification events). The built-in settings in CM10 works best. I don't recall it missing anything.

Except for receiving a phone call . It lights when the screen is off or on. That's at least what my phone does with PA rom

I love how I makes it pulse when I charge my phone.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^

Yup, didn't know there was one also. I got the point of thinking... maybe the VZW version just doesn't have one :crying:
And then it happened...:victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:

Galaxy Nexus + LightFlow has been a great combination for me. The RGB LED notification is a must for me with any future phones.

is a full on Rom the only way to customize it? Only thing id really like to see, is for it to pulse a bit faster. The length in time it takes to pulse is too long imo. I could turn the phone on an look faster than it would take for me to stare at that point and see if there is a message.

use lightflow.

Must have been something with the Affinity rom. I loaded CNA and it works as its supposed to, plus its customizable.
