DashLight (Torch/Flashlight) 2.6.1
DashLight is a simple and lightweight widget, app, andDashClock extension, that acts as a toggle for your device's cameraflash/led (or screen brightness), allowing you to use it as atorch / flashlight.DashLight works great as an app, widget, DashClock extension, orTasker plugin – the only app to combine all these optionsseamlessly.Each component can also be used independently of the others, if youwish.The widget can be placed on the homescreen or thelockscreen (or both), and its appearance is fullycustomisable (with the upgrade), allowing it to blend inwith any theme you may have on your device.The app allows users without a camera flash on their deviceto use the screen as a bright light source.While the extension is the first dedicated torch/flashlightDashClock extension.A small Tasker plugin is also included (upgrade only),allowing you to do crazy things such as flashing the LED uponreceiving notifications, or shaking your device to activate thelight. Get creative!Feel free to email me if you come up with any goodDashLight-related Tasker profiles that can be shared with otherusers.Please Note:• Due to the way DashClock works, I am currently unable to togglethe flash directly from the lock screen using the extension – i.e.Without unlocking the device.Unfortunately, this is a limitation of DashClock, not thisapp.• The widget however, can toggle the flash directly from thelock screen, without unlocking.• The app was added due to a bug in Android 4.0/ICS that preventedme from having a properly functioning widget-only "app" (Issue24208). It is also useful for users without a camera flash.• DashLight will not work properly from the lockscreen if you haveFace Unlock enabled, as the camera cannot be accessed by two appsat the same time. i.e. DashLight and Face Unlock.DashLight is the most complete, well designed, and intuitive apptorch app available. Best of all, it is (90%) free, with no ads insight!Features:• DashClock extension• Widget – Homescreen and Lockscreen• Customisable widget appearance – blend in with any theme• App – Screen light so no camera flash required• Hide App Drawer Icon – Remove the app drawer icon if you only usethe widget/extension• Tasker plugin• Control DashLight externally (see Devs section below)• Notification tray toggle (off only)• Auto-Off timer• Kit Kat Immersive Mode for Screen Light• Clean Holo design• Simple, effective, and lightweight• No ads and no internet permission required[Devs]You can now integrate DashLight control in to your own apps!Simply broadcast an Intent with one of the following actions:• com.spectrl.dashlight.FLASHLIGHT_OFF• com.spectrl.dashlight.FLASHLIGHT_ON• com.spectrl.dashlight.FLASHLIGHT_TOGGLEDrop me an email at [email protected] you have any other requests.Disclaimer:Prolonged use of the LED as a flashlight/torch may causeoverheating, and damage to your device.I have only been able to test on a Nexus 4/5/7, so please let meknow if you have any problems with your particular device,preferably via email (don't forget to include which device youhave!).Permissions:• CAMERA – required in order to control and toggle the camera flash(categorised as part of the camera hardware)• WAKE_LOCK – used to prevent issues with the flash potentiallyturning off when the device sleeps (e.g. If the screen goes for anextended amount of time, but you want to keep the flash on)• BILLING – allows the in-app upgrade to work
