Torch
ContactTorch
A simple torch application. Free, with no ads.
This app controls your device's camera LED to make it act as a torch (flashlight). That's it.
Tested on:
* LG Nexus 5 (with Kit Kat 4.4)
* LG Nexus 4 (with Jelly Bean 4.2.1)
* Samsung Galaxy Nexus (with Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.2)
* HTC EVO 3D (with Gingerbread 2.3.4)
Also noted to work on:
* Samsung Galaxy S II
* Samsung Galaxy W
* Samsung Galaxy Note
* Samsung Galaxy Note II
* Samsung Nexus S
* Motorola Droid II
* HTC Wildfire
* HTC Droid DNA
Thanks for all who's let us know if this worked for their device (or not)!
Note: The additional permission for widget support in 1.1 (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW) is to work around limitation on some devices' cameras (notably my own Samsung Galaxy Nexus), where a preview surface needs to be present for the camera's LED torch mode to be effective.
P.S.: The source code is open, hosted on github (https://github.com/santa4nt/Galaxy-Torch).
Recent changes:
v1.6.2:
Complete Italian translation.
v1.6.1:
Strobe mode! Enable strobing flashlight from Settings.
Add Indonesian translation.

NO UNNECESSARY PERMISSIONS! THANKS 1st, to those who I read that complained about it turning of when u lock screen, try being patient, then use your brain, and turn the torch on by the widget and not the app itself!! Then turn the screen off. WHALAHHH,It stays on Torch has everything I need(Strobe, On at launch toggle, Homescreen widget, & Vol. Rocker toggle)!!!! Oh yeah, the best thing, only 1 permission, CAMERA!! I understand why apps with adds need extra permissions, I just dont care. Especially if theres one like this that doesnt. Thanks
Simple but so Good...
Works on my Moto G 4G. No nonsense, no ads, no ridiculous list of permissions.
Does exactly what it says on the tin. Cannot really ask for more and therefore 5 stars. There is beauty in simplicity.
