I honestly can't remember how i found out that this model phone requires rootdim to utilize the led but its true. Research it. Ive tried every flashlight app on the market and just like everyone else who leaves feedback with this particular phone, the led does not work.
So I have to root my phone just to give roodim rooting privileges? That's kinda what I figured but I was hoping that rooting and achieving root privileges was two different things cause I'm not all that fond of completely hacking my phone's OS system just to allow flashlight apps to utilize the camera flash led. Seems a little redonkulous. Especially on a phone like this that features minimal irremovable bloatware and useless apps.Hi slant6matt, and welcome to AF
Rooting methods depend on the device. The best thing would be to visit your device's forum here (in the Android Phones section of AF). That will have a subforum called "All Things Root" which is where you will find information about how to root the device and other people with experience of doing it.
Remember that your warranty is void if the phone is rooted, though there are almost always ways of undoing this. Do make sure you understand what you are doing before proceeding.
I think you have a ZTE Warp, but am a little confused because you alao said it is a Samsung. Either way it is doable, but the tools will differ.
Good luck.
