Motion activated flashlight

Im looking for an app that will activate my camera and flashlight apps with just motion. My last phone was a Motorola and it came with the phone. I can't find an equivalent for the Samsung.
Thanks.
 
Didn't that Moto have a special sensor to detect motion, i.e. a hardware feature, which can't be replicated with just a software app on another phone.
 
Wasn't that a great feature? I miss that, and I miss the wrist shake that activated the camera. Used that all the time.

At least Samsungs have the "double-tap power button camera", which is pretty close. But like the OP, I haven't found a replacement for their super-convenient flashlight gesture. It's just a shame their hardware has gone downhill so much. I've had predominantly Motorola phones over the years, but my Turbo 2 (and the second Turbo 2 that replaced it) were nothing but trouble...
