[MOD] Torch boost! Full LED power when using your Z1 as a light source!

Hello guise,
This time I'll share with you something that @RyokoN found out. Please thank him here. I just made proper changes to the file he mentioned.
Someday I was killed by my friend N5 torch. It was so bright. Now I decided that I want my torch to be actually useful, just like his torch is. (we were trying to see details in a dark place to fix the window).
It may break your LED if you leave it on for some time. I'm not responsible for any damage. It actually made my back around the LED a bit warm after a few seconds in the extreme version!
Please be aware that it's not safe to test it on devices that are older than Xperia Z as LED's may vary hardware-side.
Anyway, enjoy
Extreme version - just torch
Medium version - just torch
Medium version - torch, camera, flash, notification LED <------------ RECOMMENDED!
Extreme version - torch, camera, flash, notification LED
Revert to stock Z1 torch
It's based on Z1 .108 firmware (4.4.4), but it WILL work on 4.3 roms. Can't say about older android versions - you tell me!
Please test and let me know how it went
It's significantly brighter now. At first it barely gave any light and now it's even brighter then the light in my room on a small distance, lol.
Confirmed working on:
Z 4.4.4
ZR
Z1 Compact
Z1s
Z1 4.3 4.4
Z2 4.4
Z3 4.4

That's what I'm talking about! FINALLY a flashlight that I can use! It works great!

Wow! Tks to your mod, I'm finally throw my flashlight out in the garbage because now it's brighter that that old flashlight.....

Have you checked if the led can endure the increased amount of current?
i dont want my led to be damaged permanently because of this

I didn't, but it's using the same current like the flash in camera. It shouldn't harm your device if you won't use it for a long time like 15 minutes - just a guess.
As always, use it in your own risk.

Ok.. that's awesome!!!! It's amazing, even if you turn torch on when taking a photo it's brighter that flash itself.. I'm wondering
If there is any chance to boost flash at the same level with camera to get better pictures..

Lol, I actually thought that I set it at the same level as the flash.

1 of the disadvantages of glass+metal: it heats up pretty quickly,

OMG
DANG this is bright, confirmed working for Xperia Z1S I actually kind of blinded myself without even looking at the led directly

If it can increase power of flash in camera, its great. ?

Hi
Great work
This file also found in other devices like sp, Go, z and others
Can i use this for Them?
What parameters did you Change?
Thanks

It's risky using it for a device with potentially different hardware, could burn out the torch

I believe so, just be very careful.

What about notificatin light can you make one for that?

Ok... Wow... This is crazy I thought its impossible.. Bravo.. Im with iHackers 4.1 and it works.
Problem is that its stronger now than the actual camera flash....
Please make a new version where the cam flash will be as strong.. Pleeeease

Nope, since notification light works for a really long time and it's too risky.

Waiting for Lillipop AOSP to D855

:fingers-crossed:

:fingers-crossed:

Its getting worked. Bug LG to release source faster and you will get it faster

Will laser focusing be supported?

I can't understand why you people don't just subscribe to the nexus line of devices.

Stock LG lollipop does look nice. Looking at videos (which I know aren't final releases), I noticed a lack of the lollipop app open/close animation, which I was a bit upset about.
Waiting for CM to get to a more stable point to flash, then hoping CM gets their lollipop on soon

I agree. I had an n5. Having good Roms and **** getting updated daily isn't as good as it seems to be, 1 your battery never optimizes, 2 there's always bugs and reboots and kernel crashes that seem to get fixed after a while but more problems occur.
After g3 tweaksbox, gravity box (just for pie controls), aosp theme for icons and pulldown it feels like a nexus. But you cant beat having an sd card removable battery, this camera quality and this speaker. Yea i had to use a kernel with faux gamma and sound (skydragon) and greenify to get nexus smooth but i dont really mind that
I tried going back to stock android but I just find the g3 is better

Can we expect marshmallow soon?

Was reading this and given the note 5 ports thought it might not be long until we get a Samsung marshmallow n5 port for our n3?

I know there are 6.0.1 cm13 builds but I like using the stylus or at least having the option to, I might use it some day, you never know

I use CM13 and my pen... there are plenty of ways to get it working.

Oh, with pressure sensitivity? does the camera still work well? 60fps and so on?
Last time I checked there were just too many features from the Samsung roms missing.

The captured images won't be of same quality on CM like it is on TW ROMs. Forget about 60 fps, LOL. It's just the something is better than nothing approach, nothing else.

Yeah, I am talking about quality on a phone cam sensor. The quality difference is so much that even with naked eye, and even a dull headed person will notice the difference! And I am a DSLR guy by the way!

My biggest issue with CM is that there isn't a good multiwindow implementation yet. I know they're working on it (I think Google, could be CM, not entirely sure who exactly it is that's working on it), but the feature is still in early alpha. I can't use my phone without it. It's like not having a browser or a SIM card.

Who was talking about camera sensor! Everyone knows software can't change the hardware sensor! Its the post processing that matters, and that's where TW will thump over any CM/AOSP any day, any time.

Thinking of Getting Axon 7

I'm thinking of getting the ZTE Axon 7 and have a couple of questions.
Where does wifi calling on T-Mobile stand? I've seem some threads with a rumor that the phone will have it with a future update. How likely is it that it will eventually get wifi calling? Any idea how soon?
I thought I read something about the notification light only having 2 colors. Is that true? That sounds like a problem. I really like using LED manager to have different custom colors for different apps.

- WiFi calling will be implemented in future or this coming update.
- Notification Lights there's more than what you have mention and if not mistaken light color are Red-Green-Blue and I guess 1 more if not mistaken.

Sounds like WiFi calling is coming soon enough then. And that's the t-mobile implementation? Wifi calling will be used for calling and SMS/MMS too, like on other phones?
4 colors would probably suffice. Even on a full RGB light it's tough to tell the colors apart more than that.

Been honest I don't know, I'm probably one of the white sheep's in the whole ranch LoL.

So just picked up one on Swappa, since I returned my Note7 and did not feel like jumping to anything else.
So I have a question how bad is the camera in low light? Any other negative feedback you might have?

I wouldn't get the axon ..I am gonna sell mine. They didn't release factory images, if you unlock bootloader and even if you relock you can no longer receive OTA's. Cameras are not so good..battery life isn't good if I'm lucky I get 4hrs sot. The Dolby Atmos system app constantly changes from Your custom setting to the "movie" dull sounding setting if you scroll through any apps with videos. Seems laggy at times with browser. I liked the oneplus 3 far better ..charging is slower on the axon too vs the oneplus 3.

If you care about having good speakers, get the Axon. If you don't, get the oneplus. Battery has been excellent for me (consistently over 5 hours SOT over 17 hours), chrome has been very fast, charges plenty fast for most people, build quality is top notch, and mifavor isn't good, but there are workarounds to most of the issues and it's at least fast and stable. I do wish they'd release the factory images, though...
If you think being forced to use the "music" profile on Atmos is bad, just wait until you hear how bad the OnePlus 3s speakers are

This is how horizon light works...
Just pulses once when a notification comes...
Only one time...
Doesn't work as a LED notification...
Otherwise it will **** the battery

It's there a Magisk mod to make it persist say every 30 seconds? Or even choose which apps it works with? Having it pulsing overnight because a bit of spam got emailed to me would suck.
