[REQ] Flash light app - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

Hi, I'm looking for a flash light app.
thx!!!
bye

If your on about using the Flash on the phone as torch, then forget it, they dont have one.

I want a flahlight program for tp2 too. How about a program that makes the screen super bright white?? That would be a great flashlight app wouldn't it not?

this works great:

Flashlight App for the Wizard

Is anybody here who can code a simple app that can activate the photo flash of the Wizard. I think assigning such an app to a hardbutton would be really great because it would make a perfect flashlight out of the wizard.

Sounds fun...

Is there still no application available?
Would be nice to have a simple one to turn on the LED on a high level an turn off the display at the same time and other way round.
Would prefer to link it to a hardwarebutton.

I've been looking for this program for a while too... without finding it !
It's been dev for the jas-jar. :idea: Couldn't it be adapted for our Wizard ? ... Would be actually useful !
ziovass: are you sure this has been developed for the Universal? I haven't seen it.

I saw something similar here... Maybe I'm wrong ?
No, I think this is just for making use of the light button, not the light itself...

Is there no one who knows about how the LED is turned on and off?
Or is there a chance to spy out how the camera-application does this job?

Flashlight using camera "flash" without launching camera?

Ok, I'm probably gonna get flamed for this... heck I'm probably gonna flame myself for this
Is there an application to turn on and off the so-called flash on the camera without launching the camera app itself? In other words is there a simple way to use my $500 phone as a $0.50 LED light?
TIA,
Richard

I thought that used the screen backlight - I specifically want to turn on the LED flash on the camera side...
Nope, I'm wrong - looks like it does exactly what I wanted:

Hello vijay, is there any chance to have it working on Asus P525?, this ppc has the facility to record video with flash on.
I been trying your candela but dosen't work.
I can look into it - but it's not a device I've ever used so unlikely. Can you get me a rom dump? Thanks... V
Works!

I think that it will be enough for you, but please advice if you need more info.
Cheers mate.
also looking for a program for this. hope vijay can help us.
it says that doing this will cause permanent damage to the led
What does?
Leaving the flash on for too long will cause the flash to blow on some devices. Some guys have had it running for days. Some have blown it after a few hours.
I limit its use to 30 seconds I think, in VJCandela. However, you should use it with your own caution. But now, it won't blow your flash with a single use or whatever.

The LED is obviously over driven to make it bright enough for use with the camera and in normal use it is restricted to only short bursts.

With P525 if you are in video mode you can hold the led illuminated, so i think that if you don't use it for very long time the led will not be damaged.
Hello there vijay...
a question for you regerding vj candela and hermes...
you may have already noticed that when you use the flash light in hermes to take a picture with default camera apps...then the flash light up bit more (say double) brighter for a few second just in time of taking the picture...
so my question is it possible in ur apps (vj candela) to use that extra doubled light rather then the normal brightness??? its just a request i know that turning the flash in high mode may shorten the life span of the bulb but i just interested to see the implimentation...
and one more request...can you add a feature in ur vj candela so that when we use the hardware mode lightup then the screen brightness will turn it off automatically and will reverd back after the flash get off...
anyways thanks a million for what u have done for us all..

Maybe that's why this is damaging some devices, because it's using the brighter mode that only works in bursts with the camera.
Actually, I just did some quick testing using the ambient light sensor on my macbook pro (how's that for resourcefulness?). It's not exactly scientific, but whatevs.
I read the value of the ambient light sensor from the camera flash from a height of 10". This test was done with a Cingular 8525.
Turning on the flash in the camera program: 1024
Light from VJCandela: 1024
Light when turning of flashlight mode in the camera settings: 1200
Light during flash: 1450
So it appears that my theory was wrong. If anything, the camera flashlight is stronger than the regular flash mode. Although I suspect they are exactly the same - like I said this wasn't exactly a scientific way of testing...
Sorry, not sure if I understood the thread - the Camera app/Flash driver has a "burst" flash mode, a normal flash mode, and and off mode.
Burst flash is brighter then normal flash, and is used in the instant that you take the photo - this normally causes the screen to go off for a second though. My app uses "normal" flash mode, which should be safe for relatively short periods (eg 1 min). Burst flash is for a few seconds max I guess.

Any suggestions as to why when I try to download the cab file it opens the cab file in pocket ie? all I see is the text that makes up the file

Yeah, that bugged me when I first got my 8525. Try holding your stylus on the link and selecting "Save As," instead of just clicking on it.

yea sorry that's wat I meant.. the backlight brightness..
oh sorry... so many posts, i dont read closely anymore
dont think thats possible, the cam always pust full brightness when runing it and goes back to original settigns when closing it..
maybe try coolcamera, that app i think does not do that..
no
No. I'm looking for the one that does do that.. a little while ago I flashed my fone with AKU 3.3 and the camera application was just like the one that comes with the fone except that when I started the camera the brightness on the fone witself when up to maximum.. which in turn let me see the picture that I was going to take better. and when I closed it. the brightness of the backlight went back to the regular brightness that I had.. and that's what I'm looking for. but I don't want to flash my fone again. because I don't want to lose everything that I have on it..
I am too looking for that patch/fix for my cingular 8125
maybe thats what you want?

iPAQ 614 - Using "flash" as light - Create a possible Titanium plugin?

One of the "accidental" features of our phone is that the camera "flash" can be used as a GREAT flashlight when you're out in the dark. I probably use it once or twice a week, and I am sure I am not the only one. I was wondering however, if it might be possible to enable the LED without opening up the camera program.
Since I have winmo 6.5 installed, I was thinking about maybe taking advantage of the Titanium plugins, or perhaps even a mortscript application to make the flashlight a homescreen option. I'm new to phone modding, but I have coding experience so it shouldn't be too hard for me to figure out.
If this seems possible, I am willing to put in the effort of making it, but I'd like to know if it seems doable before I start coding or anything.
Thanks in advance.
hi all,
i use the flash as light like you.
one year ago i tryed to find an API to write a little application to poweron/poweroff the camera flash led but without success.
can anyone share with us some experience about this?
in alternative you can use an application called plamp that use the screen like a camera flash led. it is not the same but it is useful, also configuring an hardware button.
regards, Soldato
i used to use a mortscript that would launch teh camera then turn on the flash after 10 seconds it will auto close the camera app.
only down side was that the camera app would take about 10 seconds to load anyway (for my phone) so it was not a instant flash light.

Yeah that's part of the reason I would like to just skip the camera app altogether. It would be nice to have the light on quickly and not have the camera on.

hi @ all!
I'm also very interested in an app like that.
Unfortunately I'm not experienced in coding for PPCs. So my question:
Was there any success or found a solution?
Thx a lot!

The method to control the camera flash is device specific. At this moment, no one know how to control the ipaq 612 flash light

Indeed. I'd love to know what sort of things I have to look at to get this started, but I really don't know where to start. Anyone who's made this for another phone: point me in the right direction?

Basically, the camera flash can be controlled in this way:
Use CreateFile() to get the Camera handle :-
CreateFile( _T("CAM1:") ....... )
then, use DeviceIoControl() to send command, this is the most important step, I don't know how to fill the InBuffer in order to turn the flash on.

Screen shots

How do you some of you guys do a screen shot of your home page on your phone?
shake and save (dont worry that it doesnt mention the hd2, it works fine)
You can take screenshots with BsBTweaks
My Mobiler works for me.

I use MyMobilizer too. It runs on the PC. You can see and control your phone from your PC and take screenshots while connected.
Quite a few freeware available for this sort of thing. Just google for it.
I'm using pocket XNview, http://www.xnviewpocket.org

Had XnView for sometime and never knew it did screen captures. Thanks for pointing it out.
Shake & Save is the best IMHO. Simplicity Exemplified!
