Is there a Barcode link to the new version, somewhere? (i went to the Forums on my phone, but when I tried to DL the App, I got "unknown type"...and it wouldn't DL.
(I do have 2.1 with DD10 on my Moment.)
BTW... Thanks so much, Robert!

Same thing happenend when I tried to DL it from the phone. But it worked when I used the computer and put it on my sdcard and installed :D
 
Using opera mini from the phone it gave me the option to save it to sd card. I saved it and then used root explorer to install it. Works great but I'm also one of the people using helix so the tripple tap thing is a bit of a pain.

OK, here's an early beta of the "pro"/donate version. It's buggy, sometimes you have to hit the red button twice for it to register the click, and the strobe doesn't turn on the "flash in use" view, and it may have various other issues including some that force close the app.

But it should work well enough to see what I'm going for. If you have any suggestions on making it better, let me know. I'm almost done and can't spend a ton of more time on it, but can tweak it here or there.

For morse code, tap the 'M' and type some text in the box, then click red button. You can stop by clicking red button again.

For strobe (don't be give yourself a seizure ;)) click S, and enter a number in the box and click red (you can stop by clicking red again. I'm not sure how fast this thing can strobe, but I limit it to 100Hz. I doubt it even goes that fast but I'm not sure.

To go back to normal mode, click 'S' or 'M' again to hide the text field.

JV I installed the morse version and it worked great, later I opened advanced task maanger full and told it to show memory of running apps (settings) and my flash came on. I switched to it with ATM and turned it off. It scared me so I uninstalled I was worried about something triggering the light if it was still in background memory.

Ok, I'll try to reproduce and fix.

I was unable to directly reproduce this, but I did notice that if you have the startup settings set to turn the light on and 'switch to' this app from a task manager, the light turns on. Is your light set to automatically turn on (in the settings)?

Does this happen regularly, or was it just once? If regularly, can you give me the exact steps to reproduce?
 
OK, the new version is on the market. There's a free one and a donate one, the donate one also adds morse code and a strobe feature.

Let me know of any bugs/issues.
 
I downloaded from the app store, and it work s on low but I can't get the tripple tap to work. I'm using openhome, could that be an issue?
 
It went back to double-tap, however you need to enable bright mode now. You can do this with Menu->Configuration. Once you do that you can double tap the widget, or you can turn on the flash from the app, then long-click the button to go to bright mode.

People had issues with the bright mode being too easy to use and it really can burn out your LED so I made it so you have to intentionally enable it.
