Has anyone come across a good flashlight app for the Photon? I'm scared to try apps that were designed for other phones.
 
I use "Tiny Flashlight + LED". Works well on the photon & does either the LED's or various screen colors & brightness settings.

This is the one I prefer as it is simple (on/off) and does not have any ads.

Agreed. It's exceedingly simple and plenty bright. Different brightness levels would have been nice (like the old HTC Flashlight app on the Evo) but it's not a big deal.
 
Okay, just found a super cool NEW trick that can give you a flashlight toggle using Widgetsoid 2.X.

I love widgetsoid as a toggle widget app and it's extremely customizable. I was looking at the settings and part of me remembered having used this for my flashlight, prior to the EVO being updated with a flashlight app installed.

Well, sure enough, I did figure it out and these are the steps to make it happen:

1) Create a toggle widget (I already had a pre-existing one for bluetooth, gps, brightness, and wifi).
2) Add the "Flashlight" toggle under the "Other" tab.
3) Apply the changes
4) Go to the main Widgetsoid homepage and change the "Flash LED" to "Method 2".

That's it. Simple and it integrates into my whole theme perfectly! If you want, you can even create a separate toggle, just for the purposes of the flashlight.

Yessir! Ever since someone had posted it in the EVO forums a while back, that's been one of my favorite apps by far, as far as customizations and usability.

For those of you that haven't tried Widgetsoid yet, I absolutely recommend taking a few minutes of your day (when you have time) to just sit down and take a look at all the functionalities it has to offer. I'm on the verge of getting the "donation" version because it allows you to use the toggle icons with applications that you would use as widget toggles (which would allow me to make a "custom" 4G toggle), since the 4G toggle was designed for the EVO only.

This is awesome. I just used this trick to redo/replace the default Android power control widget, and it works perfectly. I wish we had a little more control over the look of the widgets with the stock version, but you get what you pay for. :)

By the way, how would the paid version be able to help you create a 4G toggle? It bugs me that I have to keep the flat white Moto widget on my screen as well.

In the interest of keeping the thread on topic, I'll PM you about creating a 4G toggle.
