Root flashlight switch in notification bar

Liar!! check the settings for torch and cm7 toggles, dont make me flash cm7 please lol :D
Click to expand...

well, when i open torch and hit menu, nothing happens. and yeah cm7 has the ability to toggle, but the little lightning bolt on the top of the notif. bar doesnt do anything when i press it. yeah i dont blame ya for not wanting to flash cm7, esp cuz im betting that the cm7 version youll flash will likely have a working torch in the notif. bar anyways lol
 
yeah, the death ray!! thats what it was called :) and matt, im using that rom (kings neon cm7) just in case youre wondering sorry if i already said that lol im off to lunch now, be back in a lil while :)

nah im a slacker, ive just never told anyone that I work 4 times faster than a normal person, that way I get lots of free time :D.

And all of my bosses are on vacation lol
 
Im giving up on pursuit of your flashlight problem. I dont have all the proper software on my work laptop anyhow. Besides its just not fun enough for me anymore because i was digging too deep. :D Flash a rom that works and not some cm7 shit :p i was actually looking too deep i need to look in apk but it should work, did you reboot after an install? did it sideload?
 
ugh, i guess ill just hafta put a diff cm7 rom on here and work with themes to get it to look like the neon one.... it seems as tho thats the diff between the 2 anyways. ive just never got into themeing, and this might be the sign that i need to look into that...

I think he means moving it into the /system/app file yourself verses installing

That app is not included in the Neon version that I see.

Correct.

That app is not in my neon version either.

I was thinking that maybe the notification bar button is set to look in /system/app and because torch sideloaded it went into data/app. Thought maybe you should push it to /system and set permissions to rw-r-r and reboot and see what happens. It was a shot in the dark because i dont really know how those notification widgets work yet, havent looked into it.

well its certainly weird that you have a notification drop down for it but no flashlight app...did you turn on that notification yourself and then realize it wasnt there? I dont see a flashlight app anywhere in neon r3

and yes thats what im suggesting, im not sure it'll make your widget work but it wont change anything so give it a shot lol dont forget to set permission to rw-r-r and reboot

gotcha, i assume that there must be a way to make the widget on the notif bar toggle it. if im successful at getting the torch in there, and of course rebooting lol, how would i assign that apk to work with the widget?

Eh, not sure, the only place i can find anything related to torch in the system is its own apk. all the layout files for the widget are in there. If it doesnt work for you after loaded to sytem, I dont have a soultion off hand and would have to look into the other files. Needless to say thats more work than i care to do for a dropdown widget lol.

Im not running a cm7 base so i cant dig around in the settings...you are on your own after this :)

Quit making me wait to see if it worked, when i give a suggestion i expect it performed immediately so i can get feedback on my amazing genius or failure at life. Fine im going home and getting in the pool. I'll check in later.
