Hey all, after searching here and on google play without finding anything I dediced to ask you guys!
I can't find an app that activates my Flash LED which is next to the camera of my Ace, or, being more precise, I've used Tiny Flashlight and it works but it has TOO MANY USELESS permissions!
I installed many apps which have only flash permission or have no permission, but they just don't work, it says that flash is ON but actually it's OFF.
So any of you who sometimes uses Ace as a Torch could suggest me a good working app? The security aspect of Android is very understimated and it seems that no one cares about permissions.
(Sorry if I posted in wrong section, but this is an app and it must work for Ace so I guess it's the right place. Anyway moderator please move to the right section if necessary, thanks.)
up.
Try flashlight frm market

There is an app called flashlight HD Led in the market. Its permissions are systems tools -~ prevents phone from sleeping. Hardware control - for flash light and Network access.I think this will be ok for you. I haven't checked it yet. But it shows that it supports ace. You can check it.

Supposedly we should be able to do screenshots now on Gingerbread without being rooted. Can someone lead me in the right direction? How do I do this or does someone know of an app that will work on with Gingerbread?

Anyone know an App that will work?
There are plenty in the Android market without root.

I feel like this has been asked before so I'll be looking around, as of now this is all I could find on the market, though I faintly remember there being quite a few that worked well without root, this one needs to be purchased though.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.edwardkim.android.screenshotitfullnoroot
Update: grr.. can't find it. Must of been taken down, hopefully another user knows/has a screenshot app w/o needing root.
If you do decide to ever root, there's apps available for free on this, just saying if you ever gather the cojones to do it.

Optionally you can hook it up to a pc that has the android sdk installed, and use the ddms.bat file.

Thanks Everyone
I appreciate the replies. The no root screenshot app was the only one I could find as well but it looked like you had to hook it up to a PC every time.
I just wanted one that would take a screenshot, save it immediately in the gallery and then I would have the option to send it as a text
I had this functionality before upgrade to Froyo and then most apps said :"requires root access"
However - I did read somewhere that gingerbread allows this without root but there doesnt seem to be an app developed that doesnt need to be connected to a computer

Your best bet is to root.

One thing problem that many of us have with ROMS for our device is the constant force closes. As I was searching through the Asus transformer Pad Infinity forums, I came across a Memory management mod, which tweaks the heck out of the memory management, which in turn gives better multitasking, no force closes (I have only tried in on paranoid) and a bit better battery life since apps are not constantly hugging the ram. (I have now tried it on HO!NO!’s port of The Unicorn Rom (Sorry I forget the name) and I have noticed the speed difference.
** FOLLOW ALL ON SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS. PAY ATTENTION AS IT REQUIRES DIFFERENT INPUTS FROM YOU. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN ACTIVE INTERNET CONNECTION.
***THANKS TO zeppelinrox FOR BRINGING THIS TO THE ANDROID COMMUNITY AND THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT HAS HELPED HIM OUT AND KEEP ON THANKING FOR THE CONSTANT WORK ON IT.
Here is the link to the tread where you can read everything.

Now when i looked at it, i was super lost because so much information got me confused. Therefore, I will make it a little easier for you guys. This works on any android phone that is rooted (I am not sure if it works on stock rom) and works on GB and ICS.
Here are all the files. I will tell you the sequencing.

+ Make sure you only have one launcher installed. It optimizes that launcher with the memory for maximum speed and stability
*Go to the Play Store and download SManager, which installs script files. If you cannot download it from Play Store, then side load it.
*Download the "SuperCharger_Starter_Kit_RC9.zip" (no its not flash able. you have to extract it)
*Once it is downloaded, and extracted, given if you are in a computer, put the extracted folder onto your SD card. (If you are doing it on a phone, download the file from the link and extract it with your program of reference. I use Root Explorer)
*Then download “V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC10.sh.pdf” –This is not an actual PDF file. Do not open it with your PDF software as it will not work.
Put that file in the root of your SD card.
Go to SManager and look for the SuperCharger Starter Kit File. Once located, tap on StartMeUp.sh. A window should pop up and at the top it says Run. Before you hit the run button, make sure that SU Skull turns green. (Achieve green skull by tapping the skull)
Follow on screen instructions. It will show everything that it’s doing in text format. When it is done, you will notice.
Now go back and search for “V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC10.sh.pdf” using SManagaer and again, make sure the skull is green before running the script.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON UNDER ME IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BUT DEFINITELY DO IT FOR zeppelinrox!
IF you still don’t get my instructions, there are videos on YouTube
Good find. About to try this out.

Go to the original thread. Many have done it. For our device we'll I will say that when an app wants to force close the script kicks in and you'll notice the app stay black for about 2 seconds and it opens. Haven't had any force closes except for maps. It does something weird. It says it fierce closes but it doesn't actually close

Installed it a few hours ago and it's running like a dream. I've got a few questions though... So I am running trebuchet on aopk milestone 6, from what I could understand from reading the script (which honestly is not much ) is that for me to get the launcher tweaks I may need to do some additional steps? I may have just read it wrong, also should I run ''su'' ''sclean'' in the terminal every couple of days? Thanks and sorry... I'm not too savy with all of this so bear with me. Great find though!

Wait, I'm getting a permission denied in smanager when running the supercharger u9rc10 file. I allowed smanager su and made sure the green skull was there. Any ideas?
Oh yeah, and I'm runnin cm10, but that shouldnt affect anything bcuz this is supposed to work on jb.
And also, the script runs if I don't put it as root, but gives me all the errors like not running as root. If I try runnin as root , it shows up with permission denied before even running the script!

Please don't be Upset If I'm doing a repeat..
I've seen so many asking about sound on Shutter, Camera sound.
I found it a while back and didn't realize it was Hidden or as most are saying, not available ..
Go to Apps Section:
Look for App:
Smart Stay Ex Lite......If you don't have it, Get it on Play, free version because it says it's over $100
Even though it came on our phone.
Open App:
2nd settings, called Shutter Off, check it.......
Note: while in that App it should be or set to the Off at top of the Settings...
Enjoy All:highfive:
Clearly spam. Move along folks...
I think it's the shutter file under system/media/audio/ui. Try renaming that file. Works for me.

Are you on a ROM other than stock? Aokp based ROMs added permission management in the settings now
pardon noobish question but... how ?
i really dont think i can do that with paranoid :\
Well, you pretty much answered your own question. You have to flash an AOKP ROM to get that feature. If you search the play store for permission manager I'm sure there's a couple apps you can try.

If you use rom manager you can stop any app asking for dubious permission/ s
Stock roms even so long as you are rooted. Good way to save battery as you can turn apps radio access off.some have 5,6,...radio's....

just installed and tested something, seems to work, it's only a firewall, so i can't deny all permissions, but i think is enough for me.

It happens if you are using some screen adjusting app like Screen Adjuster. You will have to turn it off to make the install option activate.
AppWidgetDisplay
Also AppWidgetDisplay for Sony Smartwatch causes such behavior.
I wish saw this a few months ago

Yup, I have a Note 2 - the OLED screen can be problematic for my artwork without toning down the red. I imagine I'm not the only artist to use a Note as a quick and dirty, extemporaneous and backup portfolio.
Sure enough "Screen Adjuster" which allows RGB color balancing also makes the Install button unclickable when directly installing APKs. Drove me nuts - always found a temporary solution - rebooting, stopping Play Services, clearing caches for Services and the Play app (plus Aptiode, etc.) but these were hit and miss. Turned it off and it worked without any other hoops to jump through.
Glad I came across this - I don't usually install APKs at this point as my Note 2's apps/uses are pretty stable at this point, but for those days when you have 15 Xposed Framework APKs to install... and. clicking! stabbing! the damn! install button. does. nothing. ...yeeesh.
Figured this out from an Phandroid thread that listed similar apps:
Easyeyez Screen Filter
Twilight Filter
...and other screen dimming filter apps. The post is long because it's been a hassle for a long time... and hopefully to make it a bit easier for someone to find, including the above apps.
God that was annoying. Now to fix my memleak/lag issues.
Rotation manager is causing this too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405849
Echo Lock Screen was the culprit for me.
Happened to me a few times I reboot and if that doesnt work then I clear the caches. Its been a while since I have seen that.
Wow unimaginable
This is unimaginable. Who could think something like a display app (Twilight for me) could create such a condition.
I checked and checked my security settings to confirm I have set the option "to install from unkown sources". I also tried various developer options, but all futile! Also tried rebooting the phone! Nothing worked :crying: until I hit this post! :laugh:
Lots and lots of thanks to this post. I can now turn of the Twilight app and install other apps.

@fernandovg did you ever find a solution or alternative app for this? if it wasn't for your post about this, i'd still be scouring the internet for answers to button functionality being broken. Also, did you experience any apps that you allowed to rotate not rotating? ie - i set chrome, youtube, reddit, any other app i may view video in to enable rotation so i can have full screen, but that function was broken too the app worked 100% for the first while i had it installed then just crapped out on me for some reason. I messaged the creator of the app for a response so i'll see where that takes me. did you notice malfunction around the time of flashing any roms with stagefright patches by chance? it's the only thing i can think of that was out of the ordinary that i did around the time i notice malfunction. thanks for your input.

Do you install any "Screen Filter"? If the the app install, try to disable the screen filter first, then try install the apk.

Hi,
My friend also faced the same problem, and then he asked me if I could help him fix this.
Then I made some research, and finally I was able to find a solution to this problem.
Solution:
1. If you use any application "Screen Filter" , please disable the screen filter.
2. Then you try to install the application, then re-enable your screen filter. (It is up to you whether you want to re-enable or not, if enabled you should turn off your screen filter if you want to install an apk.
Press Thanks if I helped.
