Now I'm really wondering what you want to use that torch for :P, way too excited :D.

Right. I've been digging around in the kernel and I've found the file that deals with the flash. Its intrinsically connected to the camera controller. What we need for the flash to work is for someone to design an app so that it calls the method located in the kernel which causes the camera flash.

If memory serves, he walks out of work in the dark, down a dodgy staircase. He doesn't want a real torch, and a keyring torch doesn't suit his needs.

Think that pretty much covers it, lol ;-)

Thanks for the info nico to see some progress on this, but that doesnt bring us any further since "someone" isnt going to come out nowhere and do it. I think there are very few people capable of doing this...

Yeah I know. That's the annoying thing. I have 0 experience in Java for writing an app so I have noooo idea where to start.

I have started as I used to write in j2me, I will pm you tilal6991 as slowly getting used to sdk etc.

I'm very busy at the moment but will start very soon. Seems it works I thought it would if you read my first post in this thread.

Cheers

Should this serve as a bridge between the flash apps and the hardware?

@Lalit: PM me or post here what you've found and what's needed to be touched.

any chance of using the flash in videocam mode...?

That would imply change camera source code cuz it calls the flash from the "un-existing" flash device in our OMC.

well lighting has been put around the stairs so not as dark now but could still do with a torch for looking inside machines as i dont always carry a torch.

Calling stuff directly from the kernel is not common so let's see what comes up.

FatLadZ, calm down :)

Sorry i just dont understand people that dont understand the need for the use of a led torch on a phone :lol:

If your running cm7, add the power control widget to the home screen.. there's a flash mode on there ( only uses the screen tho), has got me through some places requiring a bright light ( walking through woods in complete darkness).. I have a whole home screen with the expanded widget.
