Root MotoTorch LED flashlight app not working...

Or any other LED flashlight app that I tried. Anyone have one that's working in Froyo 2.2. I prefer a widget ... but I'll take anything at this point.
 
MotoTorch LED = FAIL
TesleLED Flashlight = FAIL
Lamppu = FAIL
No Root LED Torch = FAIL

Hmmm - let me check something else first.
 
Made sure flash was working by taking a pic, and then set the flash to always on.

Droidlight LED Flashlight = FAIL
SimpleLED Droid Flashligt = FAIL
Flashlight LED = FAIL
Flash Droid (Flashlight) = FAIL
Droid LED Flashlight = FAIL

(on a side note, search for flashlight in the market - and prepare to be amazed at how many flashlight (using phone screen, not LED) apps thre are!
 
when you go to the camera and switch to video it has a flash "on" option, so can use that till mototorch is fixed.
 
This is part of why I quickly went back to 2.1

Oh nice! Because I would turn on mototorch before I opened the video camera to do this.
 
I will be fixing this in the next version. I have it working on my Nexus One running 2.2, so I will assume it will also work on the DROID.

Glad I emailed you and made you aware of it. I'm feeling naked without this widget. And you DON'T want to see me nekkid! :D
 
But Sun isn't the same. You can't use other apps while the light is on. That, to me, is useless. I can use my camera app if that's all I wanted to do.

I do believe that with the changes in froyo, it means that my app wont be able to be used at the same time as the camera. But since using the flash with video is added by default now, maybe it won't be too big of an issue.

However, I think the light will be as bright as it can be.

I would go as far to say that it's a non-issue. Just get my MotoTorch working again ... PLEASE! :) ;)
 
Noticed this as well, unfortunate because my favorite flashlight recently broke as well. @eclipsed4utoo Thanks for the quick response!
