Android → MotoTorch LED – LED Flashlight – My First Android Application
I have released my first Android application called MotoTorch LED. It is designed for the Motorola Droid and Motorola Milestone and uses it’s camera LEDs as a flashlight. It’s also has a widget that can be placed on one of the HOME screens. A simple click on the widget will turn the LEDs on, and clicking it again will turn them off. The widget can also turn off the screen when the LEDs are on.
This application is free.
CURRENTLY, THE APP ONLY WORKS FOR THE MOTOROLA DROID, MOTOROLA MILESTONE, EVO 4G, DROID X, DROID 2, DROID Incredible, AND GOOGLE NEXUS ONE. IT DOES NOT WORK FOR ANY OTHER PHONE(TO MY KNOWLEDGE).
For the app to work on the EVO 4G, DROID Incredible, and Nexus One, they have to be running Android 2.2. The app will not work on the device if the device is running Android 2.1.
NOTE: As of version 3.0, I have added support for Android 2.2. It is possible that MotoTorch LED will not be locked to the DROID and Milestone anymore. It may work on all future 2.2 devices. If you have a device that it now works on, please let me know so I can add it to the list of supported devices.
If you are using a leaked ROM, it should now work. IF IT DOES NOT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT ROM YOU ARE RUNNING. EITHER POST A COMMENT HERE OR SEND ME AN EMAIL.
These ROMs have been confirmed to work:
CyanogenMod 6.0 RC2
LithiumMod
Bugless Beast
Simply Stunning
Sapphire 1.0.0
IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE, GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST. IF YOUR PROBLEM ISN’T COVERED, EITHER POST IN THE COMMENTS HERE, OR SEND ME AN EMAIL. If you don’t email me, I can’t fix the issue. You can send an email directly from your phone. At the bottom of the application listing on the Android Market, there is a button for “Send email to developer”. Click that, choose your email, then send me an email.
Features:
1. Uses both a widget and a normal application to turn on the LEDs as a flashlight.
2. The widget icon will change depending on whether the LEDs are on or not.
3. The application will allow you to configure whether you want the screen to dim or not.
4. The application will allow you to use the LEDs as a strobe light.
5. The application will allow you to use the LEDs as a MORSE CODE sender, implementing the international Morse protocol.
Version 3.6 (8/24):
1. Fixed issue that caused the app to not work on the Droid X running Android 2.2.
Version 3.5 (8/12):
1. Fixed issue that caused the app to not work on the DROID 2.
Version 3.4 (8/04):
1. Fixed issue that caused the app to not work correctly on JRummy’s LithiumMod ROM.
Version 3.3 (8/03):
1. Fixed issue that cause the app to not work correctly on the Simply Stunning and Bugless Beast ROMs.
2. Fixed issue that would cause the app to crash when the orientation changed. I have made it so that the app only supports portrait mode. I didn’t see a need in supporting landscape mode.
Version 3.2 (7/31):
1. Fixed issue with DROIDs running Android 2.2(rooted).
Version 3.1 (6/12):
1. Fixed issue where non-2.2 DROIDs would see the 2.2 message.
2. Fixed issue with permissions with the Donation version.
Version 3.0 (6/12):
1. Fixed FC issues on Android 2.2.
2. Added support for the Nexus One. Also, it may be possible that this will now work on all future 2.2 devices.
3. Fixed the issue where the widget was always running in the background. It should no longer always show up in Task Killers.
Version 2.8(12/14):
1. Fixed issue where widget icon would get reset back to the default icon when exiting the application.
2. Added option to turn “Torch” off when exiting the application
Version 2.7(12/11):
1. Added HELP menu that will open to my website.
2. Changed the “Automatic Brightness” popup display only the first time.
3. Added option to turn on LEDs when the application opens. (Application Settings menu)
4. Moved “Torch” settings to menu. (Torch Settings menu)
Version 2.6(12/04):
1. The widget icon is now configurable. Use the MENU button in the application to select the icon for the widget.
2. Fixed issue where using the widget of certain other apps could cause the LEDs to come on.
3. Added a Disclaimer when opening the app. It should only be shown once. If you accept, it will not show again.
4. Added a message when Automatic Brightness is enabled.
5. The “Dim Screen” slider is disabled when the “Dim Screen” checkbox is unchecked.
Version 2.5(12/02):
1. Changed the Widget icon.
2. Added the ability to dim the screen while the LEDs are on. This includes having a slider to specify the brightness of the screen.
3. Fixed “B” “D” Morse Code bug.
4. The “Dim Screen” and “Turn Off Screen” are now disabled if Automatic Brightness is turned on. Automatic Brightness overrides both of these settings. Currently there is no way for me to disable Automatic Brightness programmatically. It seems to have been left out of the SDK.
Version 2.4(11/27):
1. Fixed issue with moving to/from landscape while Strobe or Morse Code was on.
Version 2.3(11/27):
1. Now supports landscape mode.
2. Added numeric labels to the strobe sliders.
Version 2.2(11/26):
1. Strobe and Morse Code now run on their own threads. This means that there are now Start/Stop buttons.
2. Strobe now has 2 sliders that allow the duration and delay to be configurable. These can be moved while the strobe is on to see the values changed on the fly.
3. Changed the checkbox for the “Torch” section to be more descriptive.
I made tons of changes to how the settings are saved. I hope this will have fixed the issue with it losing the screen timeout. If it continues to happen, let me know.
NOTE: If you are running a DROID and Android 2.2, it should work now. I have tested it on CyanogenMod 6.0 RC2 and it worked. However, I cannot guarantee it will work on all leaked/custom ROMs. If it does not work on the ROM you are running, let me know the ROM and I will see what I can do.
NOTE: The Dim Screen only works from the application. It currently does not work from the widget. This is due to a bug in Android 2.0.
NOTE: If your screen brightens when you turn on the LEDs, then you have Automatic Brightness enabled, and it’s doing it’s job. It was designed to use light sensors to determine whether to dim or brighten the screen. The more light the sensors detect, the brighter the screen gets. I’ll let you take a guess where 1 of the 2 sensors are……directly beside the LEDs. So when you turn on the LEDs, the light causes the sensors to think it needs to brighten the screen.
NOTE: To change the widget icon, open the application, then hit the MENU button on the phone. This will bring up the menu in the application. Choose “Select Widget Icon”, then choose the icon you want to use.
NOTE: To install the widget, Long Press on an open space on a HOME screen, choose “Widgets”, then choose “MotoTorch LED”.
NOTE: For those that say that this application “starts in the background”, it does not. The application is not running. It’s the widget that is running in the background. This is what Android allows. The widget is running because it needs to constantly check to see if you have turned the LEDs on from the application so it can change it’s icon. This is allowed by Android, and is actually the default functionality of a widget.
I have created a Google Wave for MotoTorch LED. If you have Google Wave, you should be able to search for it and find it.
If you have “Barcode Scanner” or “ShopSavvy” installed , you can scan this QR-Code and it will take to you my app. You can scan it directly from your monitor.
I have also added a Donation version of the app to the Market. If you would like to donate toward MotoTorch’s development, you can buy that version. BOTH VERSIONS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. The free version is NOT limited in any way.
You can also donate using Paypal.

November 25th, 2009 at 8:16 PM
I noticed the Droid has a brighter flash than the app produces. Is there going to be an update to bring brighter light?
November 26th, 2009 at 7:35 PM
That is something that I am working on. I am trying to figure out what the camera application does differently to make the flash brighter.
November 26th, 2009 at 8:13 PM
Is your app open source?
November 27th, 2009 at 11:09 AM
It’s not open source yet, but it eventually will be.
November 27th, 2009 at 8:52 PM
Google Market could not found this…
November 28th, 2009 at 10:04 AM
This is for Android 2.0 only. If you have an earlier version, you will not be able to find it. Also, if you are outside of the US, and you have an unlocked phone, it will not show up per Google’s policy changes regarding copy-protected applications and unlocked phones.
November 28th, 2009 at 1:09 PM
This application should now show up on unlocked phones in Europe.
December 2nd, 2009 at 10:28 AM
So is there any way to brighten the led
December 2nd, 2009 at 10:39 AM
Please bring back the old torch widget! The new one looks AWFUL! At least give us the option to choose
December 2nd, 2009 at 12:59 PM
I am currently working on the ability to let user’s choose the widget icon.
December 2nd, 2009 at 1:26 PM
Hi Ryan.
I mocked up another widget icon for you.
https://www.yousendit.com/download/MVNjek91Z2psamZIRGc9PQ
If you like, email me the pixel dimensions for the widget icon and I can create you several versions.
December 3rd, 2009 at 5:20 AM
Like the app. Hate the New widget icon
December 4th, 2009 at 5:36 PM
This is exactly the App I was trying to figure out how to make for my first app…beat me to it. Still, lots of good lessons wrapped up in it, any indication when your source might be made available, good to learn from. I just can’t figure out the LED without freaking out the camera.
December 5th, 2009 at 8:41 AM
is there a direct way to donate, many people here in Europe do not have Credit cards
so adding a DONATE button here (e.g. for Paypal) would be great 
December 5th, 2009 at 12:09 PM
Ok, I have made a Paypal button. I don’t know how it will handle multiple currencies. I just used USD.
December 5th, 2009 at 7:19 PM
worked fine $5 for your work
Paypal just converts the currencies
$5 => 3.46€
thanks for your work I do appreciate it
December 5th, 2009 at 9:19 PM
thanks.
December 6th, 2009 at 5:08 PM
Great app. Like Martin, this was also the first thing I tried to do after picking up a Droid but I never could figure out how to light the LED. Any word on when it’s going open source?
December 7th, 2009 at 8:33 PM
just “bought” the app.
#1 – you r a rockstar for releasing this both “donate” and regular! This thread probably ain’t the place, but please spread the word to other developers if this ends up rewarding you reasonably well for the hours you put into the work. There are lots of us who share your values in this regard!!!!
#2 – the morse code is definitely off on my a855. maybe by a decimal! (10x)
#3 – is the thread on
http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/20679-mototorch-led-2-0-released-free-3-days-4.html
a better place for us to go for “support” or is this just as good?
December 8th, 2009 at 12:03 PM
1. Thanks
2. Do you mean off as in wrong? If so, can you tell me what letter/phrase shows as wrong?
3. Either place is fine. I get an email each time somebody posts on the forum, and I monitor here for comments/questions.
Thanks for the support.
December 9th, 2009 at 10:20 PM
Useful and clever app. Thanks! Two comments:
First, I’m using a Droid, and every time I start the app, it tells me that I have automatic brightness enabled, blah, blah. Perhaps it would suffice to only show this message to the user once?
Second, I have a 2nd flashlight app (G1 style, which works by simply making your screen white and bright). I find both useful in different circumstances. Is it possible to add the LCD light functionality to your app, so I don’t need two flashlight apps?
Thanks again.
December 10th, 2009 at 9:38 AM
I have had another request about making the automatic brightness popup act the same as the disclaimer where you only have to acknowledge it first. I will be adding that in my next update.
I doubt I will be adding that LCD flashlight to my app.
December 18th, 2009 at 3:13 PM
I like all of the option settings, but cannot get the strobe, flashlight, nor Morse code functions to work on my Motorola Droid 2.0. The only function which seems to work is turn on/off LED. Am I doing something wrong? I downloaded an installed the apparently looking for a flashlight for really dark areas and Morse for emergency situations. Please help. Thank you in advance
December 20th, 2009 at 10:46 AM
Are you opening the application? or using the widget? The widget only controls the “flashlight”, while the application controls all three. You should be able to just push the button and it will work.
December 23rd, 2009 at 3:02 AM
Hi,
I am frustrated with the screen off issue.
Could you tell me which method you used to turn off the screen? any API except for setting the screen timeout within settings.system?
Thank you a lot.
December 23rd, 2009 at 4:04 AM
How do you get the video to have led while recording on the motorola droid?
December 23rd, 2009 at 10:23 AM
@Vivi Wu,
I use the Settings.System.setInt() to set the screen timeout. That’s how I turn the screen off. I don’t know of another way of doing it.
@Richard,
Simply turn on the “Torch”, then open the camera application. The Torch will stay on while other applications open.
December 24th, 2009 at 1:33 PM
Ryan,
I understand if you would like to keep it proprietary, but would you mind posting the API call you are using to turn on the LED in MotoTorch? I read some forum posts implying that originally you were using the FLASH_MODE_ON setting of the camera’s autofocus, but that someone had discovered another way (you had alluded to the NotificationManager). Would you mind posting the gist of what you ended up with?
Thanks,
Laron
January 1st, 2010 at 11:37 AM
Ok….I must be an idiot! I would love to get the flashlight app on my droid, but I can’t find where to download it. I would love to buy or donate ….. please help
January 4th, 2010 at 11:59 AM
I have added a QR code that will allow you to scan it and it will go to the MotoTorch entries on the Marketplace.
You will need “Barcode Scanner” or “ShopSavvy”, both are free. ShopSavvy works the best.
Simply scan the QR code, and ShopSavvy will do what the barcode tells it to do. In “Barcode Scanner”, you will need to click “Open browser” after the barcode is scanned.
Also, remember, this is for the Motorola Droid and Motorola Milestone phones ONLY. If you are using any other phone, I can not guarantee it to work. It also requires Android 2.0 or higher. So if you are using Android 1.5 or 1.6, the app will not show up in the Marketplace.
January 5th, 2010 at 11:37 PM
So… what are the chances that this will eventually be able to interpret the LED flashes that it sends, using the camera?
January 6th, 2010 at 12:31 PM
@Gryftir
That is a feature that is currently being worked on. It’s not a simple task, so it’s taking a long time.
January 7th, 2010 at 1:01 AM
Can this damage the led?
Great job
Pk
January 7th, 2010 at 11:09 AM
@Pablo
short answer… I don’t know.
long answer….it’s possible. I have no idea whether my application puts additional strain on the LEDs. LEDs normally have a life of about 50,000 hours. That means they are would have to leave them on constantly for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for more than 2 years.
I don’t worry about it. Sure it’s possible that it could damage the LEDs, but it’s also possible that a meteor will land on my head and kill me when I walk out of my house in the morning.
February 1st, 2010 at 6:15 PM
do you think you can give me the exact numerals for the strobe light so it can match the beat of any techno song?
February 2nd, 2010 at 9:48 AM

Nexus One pleeeeeeese……
February 4th, 2010 at 11:04 AM
I am unable to make MotoTorch LED work on the Nexus One. There is only one way of turning on the LEDs without initializing the camera. If it doesn’t work on other hardware, there isn’t anything I can do about it.
It’s because of the Nexus One hardware, not because of Android 2.1.
February 8th, 2010 at 12:54 AM
Works perfect when I need to take videos in dark or lower light places. Just turn on led and go to camera.
February 9th, 2010 at 10:15 AM
Would you be willing to share how you access the LED?
We develop Barcode Scanner and having the LED (not flash) on would help scanning. a user requested this: http://code.google.com/p/zxing/issues/detail?id=320
I’m not sure that ‘torch’ is the right parameter setting and we don’t have a phone with flash or LED to test on.
Thanks — Sean
February 10th, 2010 at 11:18 AM
@Sean
The “torch” setting may work on other phones, but it does not work on the Motorola Droid/Milestone as the phone does not support that flash mode. The phones would have to support that flash mode for it to be possible.
If you can send me an email to ryanalford843 at gmail dot com, I can tell you how I did it on the Droid/Milestone.
February 11th, 2010 at 7:21 PM
When MotoTorch is told to start the LED on boot and the orientation changes, the LED will start again. Otherwise, great app
February 13th, 2010 at 2:07 PM
Thanks Patrick. I believe I saw your review on the Market, and tested it out and it happens for me also. As long as I can make it happen, I can fix it. I will be fixing this in my next release.
February 18th, 2010 at 12:32 PM
Will There be support for the Samsung moment in future updates?
February 18th, 2010 at 1:01 PM
@Ryan
Can you send me an email to ryanalford843 at gmail dot com? I have a test app that I would like to test on the Samsung Moment.
February 22nd, 2010 at 3:19 AM
Love the application but would like to see it work with camera and video record so that you can turn it on an then turn the camera application on and see your subject in the dark before using flash.
February 28th, 2010 at 8:46 PM
Hi!
I tried all “torch”-like apps and yours is the best!
I habe two questions:
First, the dim function never works… also the “Turn off screen” never does. What do you mean by starting as application? maybe that’s what I am doing wrong. I use Milestone.
Secondly, I read in the specs that the milestone has a “Tricolor LED”. Does that mean it is possible to change the color of the flashlight? That would be sooo awsome!
March 1st, 2010 at 1:25 AM
Great app, I use it all the time, its a permanent home screen widget. thanks!
~sam
March 2nd, 2010 at 10:12 AM
@Chris
If you have your phone set to use Automatic Brightness, the options to dim the screen and turn the screen off will not work. Automatic Brightness overrides any changes that I make to the device’s settings.
March 18th, 2010 at 4:31 PM
Change or add icons for the widget. They are all hideous! I’d rather go through my apparently drawer to open the application then use the widgets!
March 24th, 2010 at 5:09 PM
The widget icon is a bit on the ‘ugly’ side. I’ve mocked up an alternative in Photoshop.
http://uploading.com/files/2m6d5e74/LED.psd/
You welcome to use it. Email me if you would like it altered somehow.
March 26th, 2010 at 1:44 AM
Excellent program, does exactly what it should! I donated, but forgot to remove the free version first. How can I tell which is which so I don’t remove the wrong one?
April 5th, 2010 at 7:49 PM
The widget icon doesn’t change when I press it.
April 8th, 2010 at 5:33 PM
THIS for my Legend… Would LOVE to pay for!
April 15th, 2010 at 1:20 PM
The app doesn’t work with htc desire.
April 16th, 2010 at 9:43 AM
LED stays on when exit button is pushed. Even when. Box is checked. Manual operation works only for me.
April 16th, 2010 at 1:35 PM
When will you be releasing the source code?
April 18th, 2010 at 9:34 AM
App doesn’t work on HTC desire. Please fix this Issue …
April 19th, 2010 at 10:37 AM
@Joe
Soon.
@Tizeka
The HTC Desire doesn’t allow me to turn on the LED. Therefore, it’s not an issue I can fix.
April 21st, 2010 at 9:30 AM
this does NOT work on the HTC Legend as well..
April 30th, 2010 at 2:41 AM
I really loved this app on my Droid when I had it. Will you try to make one for the Incredible?
April 30th, 2010 at 5:57 PM
Does not work on the new HTC Incredible.

Moto Torch LED: Das Milestone als Taschenlampe…

May 1st, 2010 at 9:10 PM
Please update to work on HTC Droid Incredible and Evo. I will definitely pay for this great utility.
May 3rd, 2010 at 8:00 AM
I am getting an Incredible soon to do some testing on. If it’s possible, I will do an update to make it work on the Incredible.
May 5th, 2010 at 7:42 AM
Just got the incredible, does this app work for that phone?
May 11th, 2010 at 2:26 PM
Led lights are great because they are long lasting and consumes less electricity.~-.
May 14th, 2010 at 6:17 AM
I can’t wait until you ninja your way into the droid incredible. My buddy has this app on his MotoDroid and it works great… now just need it on mine!
May 14th, 2010 at 10:15 AM
@ All Incredible owners
I am in the process of getting a device to do some testing on. Not going to make any promises, but I will try.
May 19th, 2010 at 7:16 AM
Great app but can I use it as a light source as I’m recording a video and if so how?
May 19th, 2010 at 2:47 PM
Your MotoLED Application Rocks!
Just recently the proud owner of a Milestone and your app is a god-send.
Thank you SO much.
And then to whether the LED would wear out prematurely?
Not very likely as it’s two high bright LEDs likely the type that consumes ~10mA to 13mA each (at most) and those kind of LEDs are expect to last 70k to 100k hours if not over stressed (over-current etc)
However a LED will have usable light long after the rated time as the time rating given is when the LED output is expected to have dropped by 30%… thus after the 70k to 100k hours the light intensity would still be 70% of the as new output.
http://www.lumec.com/newsletter/architect_06-08/led.htm
May 20th, 2010 at 8:16 AM
@TC
Simply turn on the LED (using the widget or the application), then start up the camera. This may only work for the native camera application. I have been told that some third party camera applications cause the LED to turn off when they are opening.
@EffKay
Thanks for the link. Good knowledge.
June 9th, 2010 at 7:10 PM
Doesn’t work on HTC evo
June 10th, 2010 at 9:08 AM
@Eddie
It will work on the HTC EVO when the EVO is updated to Android 2.2.
June 11th, 2010 at 5:15 AM
This is not a complaint, just an idea
Would it be possible to make the widget available on the lock screen? The reason I ask is because I have a weird lock pattern that usually takes two or three tries and its kind of a pain to have to unlock my phone just to shut off the light.
Another way to make it simple to shut off is to have an option to shut it off via the camera button (but not turn on because that would probably end up in drained batteries)
I love the app so far, keep up the good work
June 11th, 2010 at 8:30 AM
@Cecil
I have thought putting the widget on the lock screen. I know it’s possible since there are a couple of apps that put things on the lock screen. However, there is almost no documentation on how to actually do it.
June 12th, 2010 at 12:47 PM
Hi, just installed the latest update for this app, and am running the leaked Froyo build for the Droid. Instead of turning the LED on, it seems to initialize the camera. It makes the lens mechanism ticking sound just as if the camera app started, but doesnt actually do anything. Any ideas?
June 12th, 2010 at 1:00 PM
@Christian
That is definitely an issue with the ROM. Seems that it is misinterpreting what I am doing(though I am using the camera, it should initialize it). I have put a link to a ROM that does work.
June 12th, 2010 at 2:04 PM
Downloaded 3.1 but still does the same thing unfortunately.
June 12th, 2010 at 2:08 PM
Sorry, didn’t see your comment. I didn’t really think about the rom itself, I’ll try it again on the next one that comes out. Thanks
June 12th, 2010 at 6:07 PM
@Christian
Some seem to think it’s the theme’s that are causing applications to fail. MotoTorch is not the only application that doesn’t work on some ROMs.
June 13th, 2010 at 6:14 AM
Nose todavia no Lo uso apenas estoy calandolo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 13th, 2010 at 12:57 PM
For the barcode scanner to use flash all you have to do is turn on moto tourch and then use ur app
June 15th, 2010 at 1:26 AM
why not re-release the 3.0 on the marlet for droids with froyo. it works. is there something that was wrong with it?
jeeze how long of a message do i have to leave…
June 15th, 2010 at 10:31 AM
@Mainism
You posted 3 comments in 3 minutes. I am not God. I can’t read minds and I don’t get emails when I get comments(WordPress won’t send emails even though my email is setup). Post once and I will see it.
Now to your question. Version 3.0 didn’t work either. Version 2.8 did(sometimes). However, 2.8 didn’t work on a lot of the current ROMs. I also cannot release an application to a specific device. So I can’t simply release one version to rooted DROIDs and another version to other devices. Rooted DROIDs are using Android version 2.2, which is the same as many Nexus Ones. I can only release to specific OS versions.
So here’s how it is:
version 3.1(and 3.0): works on stock 2.1 and stock 2.2, and as of right now, it does not work on any of the 2.2 ROMs.
version 2.8: works on stock 2.1. works on some 2.2 ROMs. does not work on stock 2.2.
As you can see, none of the releases work completely on all versions, which is what I am working toward. I am going to be working on another release today to try to fix the issue with the rooted DROIDs running ROMs that it currently does not work on.
I’ve actually been told by one person running a rooted DROID that I shouldn’t even support the ROMs. You downloaded the ROM on your own. It’s not supported by Google or any of the phone manufacturers. You knew the risks of applications not working before you rooted your DROID and loaded a custom ROM. I don’t have to support ROMs, but I am taking my personal time to support them as much as possible even though I don’t have my DROID root so I have absolutely nothing to test with.

It’s not working
June 17th, 2010 at 11:24 AM
@Eduardo
If you are using a ROM on a DROID, please read the NOTES in the post.
June 17th, 2010 at 12:54 PM
Has this been tested on the Evo 4g? This is the app I’ve been looking for, just doesn’t work with Evo, running Android 2.1! I’d love to donate if you can get this to work on my phone.
June 17th, 2010 at 2:29 PM
Ryan,
I appreciate your response.
I do everything from my droid, and your site starts in mobile mode. There is a flaw in mobile mode on yoursite (this page). It does not show any comments, and when posting a coment it tells me “the post was unsuccessfull, most likely it is too short”.
After trying (I thought) unsuccessfully to post 3 messages (each longer than the last), I assumed youhad disabled comments
June 17th, 2010 at 9:53 PM
Oh and i wanted to let you know, i am on the stock version of 2.2 not a modified rom on the motorolla droid.
I underdtand, your thoughts, however, you might want to at least give a link to the 2.8 version as several people are having this issue (every 2.2 (froyo) loaded droid).
If i didn’t have a backup i am not sure how i would have found the needed file…
June 18th, 2010 at 6:17 PM
@mainism
There is no stock 2.2 for the DROID. Motorola hasn’t released it yet. If you are running 2.2, then you are running a ROM that was modified to run on the DROID.
June 18th, 2010 at 7:54 PM
Rian, I am running the leaked stock 2.2 Fr rom droid-life.com – it may not be final but it is non-modified stock.
Every version is loaded into Read Only Memory (rom) even from verizon and motorolla.
Regatdless of that hooha, look at the commemts on market every droid on 2.2 is not working with the 3.x versions. All I’m saying is that is going to be a growing part of your user base.
I am fine running the 2.8 version, but how do the rest find out about the problem and find the file?
June 20th, 2010 at 12:35 AM
Doesn’t work on my Nexus one.
June 22nd, 2010 at 8:57 AM
@Mainism
The point is, you are not running a supported version of the OS. This is a chance that you take when loading custom OS’s onto your device.
I can’t possibly support every custom ROM out there. It would be impossible. Most of the time, it’s just issues with the ROMs that cause applications(like mine) to not work. Once those issues are fixed in the ROMs, the applications start working again.
June 22nd, 2010 at 9:00 AM
@DrY
Can you better explain “doesn’t work”? I have a Nexus One running the stock 2.2(FRF57?… not the latest version that was released over the weekend), and it works fine with a couple of bugs.
June 22nd, 2010 at 10:32 PM
Ryan, my point is it its a leaked version off the official update I am running, but regardless Every droid with froyo is not working, not one”rom”or another, why not provide a back-link here for all those on the market who would be happy to run the old version.
June 23rd, 2010 at 11:37 AM
@Mainism
Simply loading the FRF57(or FRF72) build onto your DROID will almost certainly cause problems with apps. It is basically like an “alpha” version of the release. This is why every DROID running a leaked 2.2 is having the problem. The release is just not stable enough and Motorola hadn’t had time to fix issues.
I have a link to the old version on the AndroidForums….

July 4th, 2010 at 10:57 PM
I’m using a motorola droid running on jrummy kangerade froyo rom and neither the widget or the application turn on my led?
July 5th, 2010 at 12:20 AM
Any chance of an update that will support the LG Ally?
July 7th, 2010 at 8:57 AM
@Sundawg
I am working on a fix.
@M Goodwin
if the LG Ally gets updated to 2.2, then it should work.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:53 PM
Ok, I’ll be patient. Thanks!
July 22nd, 2010 at 6:41 AM
Any update on that fix?
If not, could you at least let your users know about the old version in the market description?
July 23rd, 2010 at 4:47 PM
I know you get inundated with all of these people asking for support and it can be a constant barrage answering the same questions over and over. However, I’m going to be that guy and ask one more time, “Will you have the source available any time soon?”
I am new to developing Android and the LED flashlight is the first thing I looked for on my LG Ally. Nothing has been made available and I don’t see anything on the horizon.
I’m not asking you to update your app or to fix it for me. In fact, I kind of look forward to learning how to fix it myself. However, your source would be very helpful since I am having a hard time figuring out how it is that one accesses the LED (via the camera, it appears).
I think I read somewhere that Froyo 2.2 has better access to the LED, but my rooted Ally only has 2.1 and I am nervous about upgrading the OS (if that is even possible).
Please let me know what your plans are for the source…..and if it won’t be made public anytime soon, I would REALLY appreciate an emailed jar file to look over and review.
An Android Noob,
Jeremiah
July 28th, 2010 at 9:32 AM
Is it that hard to update your market description?
You are losing all the droid owners that have updated to froyo.
While out would be great if you were able to update the ap, just good communication would help…
July 31st, 2010 at 1:53 PM
@Mainism
Actually it is hard to update my market description because I am limited to 325 characters for a description. I am currently using 324 characters. So I have no where to put the link.
@Jeremiah
Yes, I do plan on putting the code up. I think I will do that this coming week if I can get SVN(or another code repository) installed on my PC.
August 1st, 2010 at 11:22 AM
This is a great app but when I turn my phone the light and app will shut off. I can turn it on either horizontally or vertically but when I switch to the other it turns off. any ideas?
August 2nd, 2010 at 8:13 AM
@Garrison
Yes, that’s a bug. I am working on that fix now. I’ve been 100% trying to fix the issue with DROIDs running 2.2 that the bug completely slipped my mind.
August 2nd, 2010 at 1:26 PM
First: Great app! Thanks so much for it. Just awesome.
I didn’t had the time to check if anyone mentioned it alread. However, I’ve a little problem with your app on my Milestone (2.1).
The Checkbox is cut off a bit:
http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/6783/devicex.png
Maybe you have an idea why that is…
August 2nd, 2010 at 11:11 PM
@7walker
Since this is my first Android application, I can’t figure out how to change the size of the checkbox but not the size of the text. When I try to make the checkbox bigger, it makes the text really big.
August 3rd, 2010 at 6:56 PM
Version 3.2 doesn’t work with the Droid and Ultimate Droid 5.0.1. ROM. Version 2.8 does work fine but as soon as I update it quits working and I have to revert to a backup of 2.8 to get it working again.
August 3rd, 2010 at 8:16 PM
@Mark Ward
Try version 3.3(I just updated the app again today). I fixed an issue that caused ChevyNo1′s Simply Stunning to not work. Fixing this issue fixed Simply Stunning and Bugless Beast. It could fix the issue for Ultimate Droid also.
If it does not fix the issue, let me know and I will contact the developer.
August 6th, 2010 at 9:58 AM
First I’d like to thank you for making this program. It’s extremely useful and something like it should have come preloaded. Second, I have an idea for expanding the program if you ever find yourself with the free time and inlination to do so.
The morse code function on this app is fun but unless you find yourself in an emergency situation signaling to the coast guard it’s unlikely you will encounter anyone who can read it. What I propose is adding an interface that allows you to center the camera on a distant blinking light and translate morse code to text by analizing the video feed. A box superimposed in the middle of the camera view would allow the program to only worry about the area within it to save processing effort and program complexity. Is this possible? I have no idea but it seems logically sound. What would the use of it be? It would open up another means of communication, a fun and un usual one, and communication is what smartphones are all about.
I don’t know how practical this would be as I’ve never programmed for android, but I’m hoping it can be done. You seemed the logical person to propose this idea to since it’s an extension of what mototorch already does and would give the app far greater (and unique) functionality.
August 18th, 2010 at 2:41 PM
Do you know any more on when you might have it working for Droid incredible.
August 18th, 2010 at 2:43 PM
Do you know any more on when you might have it working for Droid incredible. Really like this app. My friend has it and it is great.. Thanks
August 19th, 2010 at 1:21 AM
Hi!
Great app.
The widget is excellent and very usefull.
I had an idea: it would be nice that it appears a message or an icon in the notification area when the LED is ON, that can help us not to forgot to switch it OFF (because when you have a protection case, you may not see that the LED is ON).
Sorry for bad english!

I wanted to say thanks for you app. It’s one of my favorites and actualy the first one i downloaded. I had heard of it on android forums before i got my droid. It’s made for me since i have used my phone display as a flashlight and the flash works much better. What promted me to write you today is my recent discovery of your alternate widget icons. I have been changing as many of my shortcut images to the smokey style to mach my launcherpro tray. Your smokey tourch looks amazing on my primary homescreen. I have decided to download your paid app even though it is the same as the free version. I hope you will@continue to
August 19th, 2010 at 5:04 PM
One of my favorite aps and the first one i ever downloaded. Should be a stock app on all phones. Jost discoved the smokey transparent widget icon to go with all my LPI shortcuts.
Thanks for an awsome app

Not working now on droid x with leaked 2.2… Widget or when I open the app… Let will not fire up… Led working with camera however…
August 22nd, 2010 at 3:43 PM
Didn’t work on Verizon HTC Incredible. Had a Droid X before and it was an awesome app. Recommended even though I can’t use it now
August 26th, 2010 at 7:23 AM
@Titansusa
Once the Incredible gets updated to 2.2, it should start working. I have reports that it currently works on CM6 RC3(Android 2.2) for the Incredible.
August 26th, 2010 at 11:10 AM
Its still not working for my droid ever since I got the update. When I hit the widget or open it in the apps list it does nothing. All I hear is the lense on the camera flicker a couple timmmes just like you hear when you open the camera. Is there a fix for this or am I doing something wrong?
August 26th, 2010 at 1:23 PM
@Dings
What ROM are you using on your DROID? I can only assume you are using a ROM since the official 2.2 release for the DROID works with the app.
August 30th, 2010 at 11:40 AM
I noticed you are checking the model to see if it is a droid, droid2, droidx, etc….
Maybe it would be easier if you check the manufacturer for motorola instead or have you seen issues with this not being set as expected in some of the ROMs?
That way it shouldn’t keep breaking as each Motorola device gets updated to 2.2.
August 31st, 2010 at 7:16 AM
@Ray
I was thinking about that. However, I was hoping that some Motorola devices would be able to do the normal way of turning on the LEDs instead of the hack. HTC devices don’t have a problem once updated to 2.2(Nexus One, EVO, Incredible). None of the Motorola devices work unless you jump through hoops with the camera…which I haven’t been able to get to work.
I guess it must be the processor(OMAP vs. Snapdragon).
August 31st, 2010 at 11:13 AM
Still doesn’t work on the droid after the 2.2 update. Just hear the camera lense flicker when you open the app or use the widget but leds don’t work
August 31st, 2010 at 2:04 PM
I put a couple words N the morscode section & can not figure out how 2 delet the words, they won’t go away. How do I delete em? Thanks, 2Sly !
August 31st, 2010 at 11:26 PM
@Dignscity
Have you updated to the latest version of the app? If so, are you running the official version of the 2.2 OS, or are you running a custom ROM? If you are running a custom ROM, which one?
@2Sly
Click in the text box, the keyboard will popup, then hit the backspace key.
September 5th, 2010 at 4:21 PM
You update this app too much. It seems like every other day your app needs to be updated. Its getting obnoxious don’t ya think? I think so and I will delete it next time.
September 7th, 2010 at 10:22 AM
@Rick
While it may work for you, it doesn’t work for others. If you look at the bottom of the Market description, you will see a version number. Beside the version number, you will see some text. This text indicates what I have fixed.
4 weeks ago, I released an update to fix issues that caused the app not to work on various custom ROMs that are available for the DROID.
3 weeks ago, I released an update for the application to work on the DROID 2 and removed the TOAST notifications when using the widget. Since the DROID 2 had just came out, I had no idea whether it would work or not. When I got emails about it not working, I fixed it.
2 weeks ago, I released an update for the application to work on the DROID X running Android 2.2. I didn’t find out until recently that the application stopped working once a DROID X phone got updated to 2.2. It works fine on a DROID X running Android 2.1.
These are fixes to help make the app work for as many people as possible. You are not required to update.
And yes, it’s very obnoxious of you to complain about me being too helpful. If you don’t like your applications to be fixed on-time, then uninstall my application.
September 16th, 2010 at 1:33 AM
Does not work on my HTC. Bugger

What HTC device do you have?
September 21st, 2010 at 8:13 AM
Hi!
Great app with great options! I was using it on Milestone 2.1 stock. Now, there is a cool project “CyanogenMod for Milestone” by Nadlabak and after installing it on my Milestone I am unable to turn on the led. I can hear “blip blip blip” like when camera is turning itself on, but no light from camera led. It would be awesome if you could look into it:)
September 24th, 2010 at 8:22 PM
When will it work on the HTC Desire?
October 24th, 2010 at 6:34 AM
Milestone with G.O.T 2.2 mod.
LED not working but making the sound of the camera when activated.
November 8th, 2010 at 3:14 AM
In the android market, this app, which I had previously installed now seems to be stuck on installing. It is running down battery life. Have tried turning off and on the phone, but it is still displaying the installing message.

Great app, works perfect on my Motorola Milestone running Ecclair.
Recently I updated to an unoficial release of Froyo, a ROM called ShadowModBR. Since then, I can’t use your appp anymore. Could you please check why? You can find it at shadowmodbr dot wordpress dot com. Thanks a lot!
Cheers
December 7th, 2010 at 3:16 AM
Is the app supposed to work for motorola milestone xt720?
The light can’t be turned on by the app.
December 17th, 2010 at 2:11 PM
Tried to use the strobe as a tool for estimating wheel RPM. Would be much better if I could enter exact text–the slider adjustment is too coarse.
December 21st, 2010 at 4:30 AM

December 23rd, 2010 at 6:19 PM
Great app. Could you perhaps make it possible to type in the exact speed and duation of the strobe? Also greatt would be a +/-1 millisecond time change; +/- any time you want would be even better.
I have used your app as a timing strobe to see bow fast a shaft was spinning.
Thanks,

I can confirm Milestone 2 is not working
(android 2.2) – it thinks the LED was on, but it isn’t
I really hope for a soon fix.
it seems a lot of apps have that problem. I found one app (sun) working, which apparently activatet the cam to get the led working. you could see it in the backgroung
Thank you for the good work so far.

I want to ask you if it is possible to use the focus LED (orange color led) of my camera as torch? I have Motorola XT720 which has xenon flash + autofocus led.
Please let me know if its possible, and you may consider to add it to your app since its Motor too
Thanks!

Hi Ryan,
Because you had trouble getting the LED working at the Milestone 2.
You shout check out the app “TeslaLED”.
It lets you select 4 different LED Modes.
2 of them are Working at Milestone 2
“Motorola Droid” – Just turns on the LED at normal level
“Motorola Droid Froyo” – Turns on the LED at super-Brigt Mode (Does trigger the Autofocus Sound (Seems to use the Camera App))
“HTC” – Not working at MS2
“Standart Froyo” – Not working, triggers the autofocussound
What would be really cool to let you select the method inside the app, and have a widget which preferable does have the ability to select the primary (medium) mode and in addion a secondary mode (Super-bright)
December 31st, 2010 at 9:54 AM
the app will not turn on on my droid 2. the led’s work on it because they work for the camera, but will not turn on for the mototorch led app for strobe, ked, or morse code

I’d also like to express that most individuals that find themselves without having health insurance usually are students, self-employed and people who are without a job. More than half on the uninsured are really under the age of Thirty five. They do not feel they are wanting health insurance because they are young plus healthy. Their income is often spent on real estate, food, as well as entertainment. Many people that do work either 100 % or in their free time are not provided insurance through their work so they go without due to rising valuation on health insurance in the United States. Thanks for the ideas you share through your blog.

I think it would be cool if another person running your app could use their phones camera to pick up the mores code coming from my phone and translate it to text.

I tried to email, but couldn’t, using the link above, from my device.
Having read through things, I’m guesting the app is not compatible with 2.3? It worked on my Droid X, though I never tried it after the 2.3 release. It definitely does not work on my Droid X2.

This doesn’t work for the Motorola Droid Razr. Anyone know of an app that will turn the Razr’s LED flash into a flashlight?

This really is acquiring a bit a lot more subjective, but I considerably prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has much more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you rapidly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and yet another set of “neighbors†will come into view, allowing you to navigate about exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social†is also fantastic enjoyable, letting you locate others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will likely be relieved to know it is possible to avoid the public from seeing your private listening habits in the event you so decide on.

I have been using this app on my Droid for the last 2 1/2 Yeats and love it. Just upgraded to the Razor and sad to see it does not work. You plan on updating the app to run on Razor in the near future?

Ryan, I use this app daily on my original Android (yes, I still have a working 1st gen model as a secondary phone!) but unfortunately it does not work on my new Droid Razr Maxx… This truly is the best flashlight app I have found and I am very hopeful that you will find a way to make it work. The Morse code function is a great idea and a potential lifesaving feature. Thanks for 3 years of lighting the way, hopefully there will be an update soon to make it work on my device!
