Hello every one,
i know, there are a lot of flashlight apps out there. But none of them fitted my needs.
My requirement for a flashlight was, that i can switch the device to standby while i use it as a torch. But unfortunately if the device goes into standby it also disabled the led on the apps i tested.
So i scratched my own itch and wrote this little widget called MyBeam. It has no preferences pane and no activity screen. It's just a widget which you can put on your home screen and touch it if you need a flashlight. If you put your device into standby, then the led will shortly go off and then back on again. So you can use the led also when the device sleeping.
Maybe you find it as helpful as me
You can find the GPL'ed source code on htt*://github.com/chris-tau/MyBeam
You don't need to have a rooted device. But i only tested it on the desire.
Attached you'll find some screens and the apk.
Greetings, -chris-

Nice app idea... very cool to have alterations. TBH, I was after this myself so thanks!
You haven't placed a beam_on in res/drawable-hdpi so it uses the icon.png for the widget on instead
I quickly modded your on/off icons and icon size for the widgets on my apk. I use Executive Assistant as the screen on my phone after the lockscreen. The widget fits on there nicely ->

I don't see it missing. It's in the repository.
But i just checked the apk and found out that the icon is named 'beam_onm.png'. Wonder how that came? I'll replace the apk with a fixed one.

There is a beam_on icon in the apk, but it is mislabelled as "beam_onm"! However, I do like your icons - fancy sharing?!
EDIT: Hmm, took too long typing, you beat me to it Chris!
They're a 2 second hack job from Flashlight which I was modifying and testing around the time you posted this app (and a bad job ). Others could do far better.
They're in PNG. I set them to display at 146/146 dip for myself. The two lights on rather than three was an intentional visual cue (as that's not the brightest).
Great app!!
Just what I was looking for. Awesome!
true, this was always a annoyance for me too, great app!

Is there a widget/widget combination, which looks like the clock you get when you do the unlock pattern. I really like the font. I also attached an image of a lock screen (I think the default android lock screen)which uses the same font.
I tried searching but looks like this is just too much for a search engine to figure out.
Thank you for the help.
I think the "beautiful widgets" clock uses the same font.

I think the beautiful widgets is not free, which means I can't install it legally, I can't pay for apps in my country, and the marker only shows free ones. Using the barcode scanner from the original site didn't work either.

Yes, it costs ~ 2$. I didn't know they were legal issues with paying on market in some countries. Too bad Where are you from ?
My clumsy English made that sound wrong...
It's not illegal as you get in jail, it's just not supported, enabled or allowed. By illegal I meant the only way for me to get that app is, you know, warez and stuff. The country is Slovenia.
Update: I found that the font for the desired clock is Clockopia, a subset of Storopia.
The quiestion is, is there a clock widget that allows you to select a font?
Hello. I have made a clock widget witch uses clockopia font. Tell me if you are interrestet. It is not on the market.

Thanx for sharing
Thank you for letting us test this app.
Here is a little feedback, don't take it the wrong way, I believe that you want to improve your app .
1. The clock is smaller than the area it uses (the 2x1 grid is filled about 50%, this makes the clock really small and there is a lot of unused space around it.),
2. I notice it is sometimes "out of sync". It isn't much of a problem because I've never seen be more than a minute away.
Please, do not take this as offensive criticism, I want to help you in your development of this great project.
Thanks again and keep up the good work!

It seems that i might not be the right version you got.
The current version uses 4x1 layout, and updates every .5 minute.
I'm using the one you uploaded here. I will try to redownload and reinstall and report back.
PS: because it updates every 30s, it can sometimes display as a minute off (compared to the system clock in the top right.)

Hello desire community,
I just though of an idea. I like the look of the lock screen on sense, but i miss the option to have two sliders (one to unlock, one to silence). What is someone could build a slider that can slide up and down, plus has a slider point in the middle that can slide either left or right. I have attached an example but I am not a good artist so I hope you can understand what it means.
+1, that would be neat
I thought so to but:
1) I don't know how to program that
2) I can't even draw it very well
Like WidgetLocker, perhaps?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/widgetlocker-lockscreen/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
Moved to themes and apps
I have widget locker. I was thinking like the rotory slider but with one "slider" in the middle and four directions to slide.
This is what he wants except the places where it fades he wants it to rotate, and i agree would be cool.
Edit: this as in dragging up, and down, and rotationg side to side, would give it 4 ways to move instead of just one, and would take full effect of the possibilities of the HTC design...
Exactly I could imagine using up for dailer, down unlock, left mms, and right ringer. If it is in widgetlocker they could be customized
That's a really nice idea, i'd love to see such a feature.
Nice idea but I can imagine the amount of unwanted actions in pocket etc.

None because you would have to touch the middlepoint of the slider to make it work and thats veeeery unlikely....

do any of these work with fingerprint scanner? CM says it does, but i don't see the option in their menu -- just pattern or password.

Guys, can I hijack this thread to ask if your backlight is on when you use a pure black wallpaper as your lock screen wallpaper?
My blacks are pure black when I open my screensaver in the gallery (if i tap the screen to remove the UI, I can't see the screen at all in a dark room) and it's the same for most screens except for the lock screen. In the lock screen it almost appears gray or it appears like it's affected by backlight bleeding. Just wanted to find out if it's a software bug (since it's almost like the Night Clock bug) or if it's a defect with my phone. I also cleared my cache with no success.
Also, how do you take a screenshot of the lock screen?

Not sure if they work with the s6 edge, might have to wait for that support. I'll personally just wait for xposed to be updated so i can get fun stuff like wanam xposed, and just live with the current launcher, as i really like the fingerprint scanner.

You can change wallpaper by long pressing on an empty space in the homescreen. It goes into edit mode and you will see a wallpaper icon and label at the bottom left. Tap that and you are directed to another menu to select whether to apply your wallpaper to just your home or lockscreen or both. You can also go to settings>wallpaper to change wallpapers.
As for the weather, the design changes accordingly with the theme you choose.
Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for sharing guys. I wonder if there's a way to get rid of that white status bar I have in the lockscreen. It just looks so ugly. Hopefully an upcoming FW update from my carrier would fix it. :fingers-crossed:

You can change the colours by editing the default routine, or creating a new one.

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
it is a fine and quick device. But after using a custom rom on my z3 compact, i am just missing a few things that i find essential.
1) missing the data traffic monitor 2)missing the option to switch recents and back buttons.
3) missing the 2 extra buttons on the navigation bar.
(yes, they are from gravity box in xposed module)
the standard file explorer is also very bad. it always goes to download map standard, when you want to move or copy a file.
and it has facebook, avg and amazon apps that you can't delete and facebook even has an facebook app manager app that doesn't show up and you need to disable it through the apps menu.

System ui tuner only has options for do not disturb and status bar. No navigation bar . I do have to say that I just updated the software today to a version with the security patches from 1 April.

So far I really like this device. It's my smallest device yet and I love it. Performance is great and battery life is outstanding. Low light performance with the stock camera app is my only gripe as it seems to add artifacts. Hoping gcam will be available before too long.
