Flashlight v0.4-5

Thank you!

Amazing! Good Job!

I added this little tool in the "Camera Lens Launcher". So the standard camera app don't start. When you open the lenscover a popup-menu appears where you can select "Flashlight". When you close the lens cover the flashlight-app stops automatically - I love this behaviour!!!

(http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/cl-launcher/) citation: Using this launcher you can select a different application than pre-installed 'Camera' application to run automatically when you open the lens cover or simply to show application selector pop-up window.

To configure this launcher go to the 'Settings: Camera Lens Launcher'.

WARNING: Startup of 'Camera' application might be slower using this launcher.

this is the 1st basic application im looking for, thanks and its make me happy with my n900. thanks...

A very handy and useful app, can't live without it.

Very usefull

Must have app for n900. Works perfectly. Thanks for such helpful app.

Works perfect!

i can't download application and game

If my mum's not-so-great Nokia E63 comes with this built in, I don't know why my N900 didn't - thank you for making this, it works just perfectly

Works perfect, thanks!

works perfectly!

@Daniel Silva:

Flashlight is "hidden" by default, quoting the app's description:

"To switch the flashlight on or off, open the lens cover, tap on the status area to open status menu and tap on Flashlight applet"

Or you can't see it even with the lens cover open?

Ne Taschenlampe die sehr gut funktioniert! ;)

Great app!!!

Excellent, simple and easy, it's there if needed.

Love it ...

I couldn't use this app becaus it doesn't appear in any place in my phone, except in uninstall list. Crap

keep up the good work

just do what it supposed to do, and very very useful. after a night trip in a forest, my friends were really happy to get back to cars

Would be great if it could activate the LEDs after holding the right volume rocker and then opening lens cover.

Doesn't work. Just got my N900 yesterday, updated to newest firmware, installed latest flashlight-applet. I then open the lens, close camera app and there's no flashlight applet in status area.

It works perfectly in my n900 Thanks

Great app, thanks

Fantastic app, does exactly what it says on the tin and works without flaw

Amazing!!!

Good Job!!

useful once the lights are off in the midle of the night

Its so useful to me, we get too many power cut in my area and this application helps me in such power cut.

Great app, I would only apreciate an easier way to turn it on.

cant understand why this would get any less than a 5 star rating. Its a flshlight like it says it is. any limitations such as the camera popping up is due to the os/phone not the app!!!

thanks

never failed to work!

Works like a charm, nice work.

Useful addition, is a bit of a pain having the camera auto starting but apart from that works perfect.

Works beautifully, but it isn't exactly the most effective when it comes to just "ripping out" a flashlight. It kind of requires too many clicks, but I really can't offer a more effective way without making things more complex, so it really works fine the way it is.

Pratique mais pourquoi sommes-nous obligé d'ouvrir l'objectif pour le faire fonctionner ? C'est bête, non ?

a great app! simple and nice. although like many here i am wondering what is the max time i can turn it on?

Nice to have! Thanks.

It would be nice to add the ability to have the LEDs flash at a few Hz. Then it could be useful as a "flare" in roadside emergency situations.

Great app very useful, could do with a short cut and a way of activating without starting the camera, still great though.

I like to have a flashlight in my mobile. But the downside is the way to turn it on. A easier way to do it is needed.

Could not give a high rating because the app is too cumbersome to use. Works great, but an easier way to turn it on is required -- several solutions have already been suggested.

nice idea. but as somebody else already mentioned: i don't see the applet.

Very cool app, works very well. Is it dangerous for the flash to be on for long? And how long?

The Nokia n95 was not able to keep the led turned on because there was danger of a heat damage. keep it in mind..

Great. Maybe a future upgrade to support videos? Thanks!

This is very handy! However is it possible to have it as a shortcut rather than an option in the status menu. Just for easier and less cumbersome access..just a suggestion!

Thanks for your hard work though!

Would be good to over-ride the camera auto-opening, but works well.

Worked for a few times but then got the same message as Janne. Worked very well to start with - will try it again :)

Pretty useful. I just love the looks on people's faces when someone asks "Anyone have a flashlight?" and I take my phone out.

On a more serious note, I was hoping to use this with recording video in the dark, but I couldn't. Although the alternative of breaking the camera isn't an option either.

I love the idea, but when I open the flash cover then click on the status menu (after closing the camera program) I don't see any applet, I only have the standard ones (battery, alarm,profiles,volume,connections,bluetooth, status)

would a reinstall help ? maybe a restart ? or could be a conflict with something else ?

Also 2nd the suggestions for a shortcut/widget option.

same peoblem

camera is used by another app

what can i do for fixing ? is there any other app ?

Nice and simple. I hope the next version supports video recording while flashlights on.

Quite handy! Two reqs though. Widget version and coexistence with camera would be nice.

Very useful! Excellent idea.

Simple and usefull application. Only one request: disable camera autostart when flashlight is installed.

Wish list: A shortcut icon that turns on the flash immediately (instead or in addition to the menu).

It worked great! Simple and very useful!

Simple, fun, useful.

Nice app. But I would also like that starting the camera app isn't needed. Also "It's not the app's fault"

Very cool app, works very well. Is it dangerous for the flash to be on for long? And how long?

Works great any idea when the led's overheat?

Also I would love to be able to record video with the LED on.

Cool. Thanks.

Great! I really needed this app.

Only one issue: It's annoying that the camera app starts and I have to close it first. It's not the app's fault, but it's annoying none the less.

App works just fine here.

"Unable to intialize flashlight. Camera in use by another application." I don't have any other programs runnig and it still gives me the same text everytime I try. Is there any applications that's known to jam the flashlight app? Even reboot didn't work.
