using 3minit, I love the ability to activate the flashlight from the lockscreen, or via double tapping home. outside of 3minit you can activate the setting to toggle the flashlight by long pressing volume down even while screen is off!
the downside to using these built in handy torches is the flashlight is..dim! about 40% of its maximum brightness =[ . has anyone run across any mods/tweaks/ways to increase the system torch brightness, so that in apps that incorporate the torch can use the torch at full brightness?
5 "Thanks" (reps) to anyone with a solution!

Hi,
is there a way to access the quick settings in any app instead just on the home screen or something similar that shows volume, brightness and wifi? I tested "Sidebar" but it doesn't show whether wifi is on and also changes volume and brightness on touch instead of just showing the bar.
Basically i am looking for something like the "Slider Controls" small app for the Xperia Z plus the ability to turn wifi on/off.
Thank you

Two products you could try "GMD GestureControl" and/or "LMT".
With GMD I defined a customized gesture to bring up the volume overlay while in apps like MX Player allowing me to adjust the volume during playback. With LMT's PIE (see video) , I assigned a toggle to turn autobrightness on/off (Auto Brightness Switch) and a number of notification bar activities. So far with LMT I've only used the PIE overlay feature but it does a heck of a lot more as you can see in the video link.
Give them a test run, between the two products I think you can get what you need. They also work perfectly well with SideBar if you have already purchased that.
Good Luck
I've noticed that the LED light widget isn't that powerful on the S4, and GoldenEye doesn't seem to have it in the drop down menu like my S3 did. I use the assistive light widget, but the output seems to be lacking. If I install a flashlight app, it's much brighter, however I do not want a flashlight app with all the permissions they want. Just for a light!
Is there anyone who could code it to be brighter, or maybe a parameter I can dig into using an app to get into the filesystem?
Just use Wanam goto lockscreen/hidden flashlight

Hm, I hold the power button, but it doesn't have a flashlight option. Latest version, safestrap. The wanam xposed mod doesn't work either, the one where you hold the volume button to turn on.
Hi guys.. Is there a way to turn down the intensity of the navigation buttons without rooting? I use Lux to dial down my screen brightness but it does not effect the navigation buttons. They are brighter than I needed.

I have a rooted 6p running the latest stock rom, and I have two questions about flashlight:
1) Is there a lockscreen widget that would allow me to turn on the (camera) flashlight by e.g. double tapping an icon on the lockscreen, without first unlocking the phone?
(I installed gravitybox and I can put on the lockscreen an icon of a third-party flashlight app, but to run that app I need to first unlock the phone with pin and/or fingerprint).
2) Is it possible to adjust the brightness of the flashlight when used as a flashlight and without affect the brightness when used with the camera?
Thanks!

First of, you do not need to unlock your phone to turn on the flashlight. You can pull down the notification screen even when the phone is locked. to turn on the flash light.
I do not think, you can adjust the brightness of the flashlight without using a third party app. Try Flashlight app.

You can use the wake gestures app. I have it set up so swiping right turns the flashlight on. Works without the screen being on as well.

Is it the wake on gesture app in the store by team.fluxion?
Not what you were asking for, but I use power button flashlight. 3 pushes of the power button turns the flashlight on.
You can also pay for the additional option if you want to turn the flashlight off using 3 presses. Otherwise you have to tap the app to turn the light off.
The flashlight 3 presses are more of a dash dash dash press, slower presses with a short pause between the presses. Whereas the camera 2 button presses are like a dot dot action (rapid presses one after the other Like Morse code).

Is there any app for our device that can control brightness of the flashlight
I can find one in CIT mode so I guess the device is capable of doing it but I cannot find an app or mod to do it
