Does anyone know of an apk that allows you to use the camera flash as a flashlight? I had one for my HTC phones, Im not sure if I can just use that one or not.
Im not rooted, running 2.3 (gingerbread)

Check out "flashlight led genius". There's an option to turn on the led from the lockscreen by shaking the phone.

What a cool little feature. This would be awesome to implement into any rom.
Please close this thread...please.
You mine as well have asked if there was an app that let your phone play music. Besides...this should have been posted in the Q&A section if anywhere at all...

I like led flashlight.. It allows you to put the phone to sleep with the flashlight on.. Torch will not.. It works good and reason why i like it is because when i wear white basketball shorts to sleep and i need to go downstairs for something at night i can put the led flashlight on, put phone to sleep and put it in my pocket and the light shows throuh the shorts lol.. Then i can carry a drink and food and see where im going!

Personally haven't changed locks, but this is something to keep in mind. I usually use Pandora as my go to music app, but for SD card music, I stick with stock and use the galaxy S music widget from market.
Does the s2 have this option? If so where do I enable it? I hate having to keep turning on the phone to see if I missed any messages or notifications... Thanks
The T-Mobile variant does not have LED notifications. Its a bummer but it is what it is.
Edit: Solution below.

Okay, I got it to work... Now when the led shows. Is there another way to go straight to the app that the led came up for? Or do I have to dismiss it first, then power on phone?
Also, is there a way from preventing the screen to turn on/off when the message or miss call comes in... I just want the led to show, no light up
how much of a battery killer is this app? just wondering haha
Notification LEDs
Are there any notification leds on this phone? I have missed a few calls and received texts, but only found out after I powered back up from standby. I have only ever had HTC phones before, and they all had notification leds...any help would be great..TIA
Not at the moment. It would be awesome if we could make the soft keys flash to notify though!

I wish they'd have put the same blue LED they put in the sprint model... I like blue :/
Since there isn't an LED light specifically for notifications, is there a way to make the LEDs for menu, home, back, and search light up for said notifications? It would be even better if each one lit up for specific apps so I could know why it's lighting up before I even turn on the screen.
Thanks for any help!
My suggestion would be NoLED.

The closest we can get to LED notifications is BLN. You need to use a BLN compatible kernel and use the app BLN Control.

I'm trying to tweak some things on system tuner and my phone rebooted (but took a bit to turn on) my blood pressure dropped, I thought I killed my phone!
But after some reading.. it pretty much means the phone does not like those settings, change them.. right? Phone works fine now though, but I was wondering for future reference

You need to have a kernel that supports BLN and download the BLN app from the market.

But therefore it is turning the screen on and off, but in parts. Plus most, if not all, of our phones have CRT Off, which does use most/all of the pixels.
I used NoLED for a few days, switched to the paid version of BLN afterwards.
I tried both NoLED and BLN. NoLED was cool for a while, but BLN in the end is the best alternative for notifications.

Swipe your hand slowly over the sensor and the phone will show time, missed calls, messages, and battery percentage. I think it's a pretty tight feature. Was just wondering how many people actually knew about it and use it.

It's a nice feature but I wonder how much battery it will drain? If you think about it, in order for it to respond when you put your hand over the sensor, it means the sensor is always going to be on. That means something is running all the time.

Just checked, this feature keeps the proximity sensor always on when the screen is off. To test, turn the phone of in a dark room, you should see a red glow in the sensor.

Its a really nice feature for when ur walkimg around ur office or house and just wanna see if u have any missed txt, but i did read something online where it drained the battery super fast. So i shut the feature off and i literally got 5hrs more out of the battery, wasn't worrying through out the work day if it was gonna die.

used it for about an hour, was pretty meh. Good concept, but bad implementation. I have my phone on my desk and it was always turning on and off. But when I needed it to to show me quick glance data, it worked about 50% of the time.
The only thing from that menu I love is the Palm Swype to screen capture.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
I have been testing the quick glance feature and noticed that it works best in low light conditions, especially in darkness..
I sleep with my phone on my bed (I use it as my alarm clock) and with the lights out quick glance works for me every time. I have gotten to like it because the screen is much easier on the eyes, at night (dimmer), than hitting the power button to check the time/notifications. I disable it during the day though.
The Palm swipe for a screen shot is awesome. It is a much faster way to take a screen shot than having to take out and use the S-Pen.. I wish the screen didn't turn white while swiping though. Not a big deal I just think the loud click upon taking the shot is enough to let the user know the shot had been taken.
I used it when I got my Note in November but as mentioned, it does cause a very noticeable battery drain.

my favorite on there too. I used the quick glance the first few days then just got tired of it. I prefer the smart alert, it vibrates when I go pick it up if I have a missed call or message.
