Fastest way to LED flashlight from lock screen? - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

Constantly using assistive light, but I dislike having to unlock, then click the widget (which is HUGE, and thus not on my first page)
What are your favorite solutions for quickly accessing flashlight from lock screen?

What you could do is buy Widget Locker ( something like a $2 app, i knoow, not free ) and then add a flashlight widget to it. If u look up widget locker you will know what im talking about, but in essence, its a customizable lock screen and u can put widgets there to click on.
Alternativly, some ROMs will have the ability to have a flashlight as a quick tool when u pull down the notification shade. Paranoid Android 2.1 has this ability, and it is Jellybean. Great daily driver, and also stable. Give it a shot!

Exactly what I've done
I haven't rooted/flashed anything custom to mine yet as I'm waiting for JB before I do that, but I've got widgetlocker installed with the jellybean style unlock orb - pull right to unlock, left for camera, down for gosms and up for 'brightest flashlight free' which is the fastest loading of all the ones I've tested (plus it has a cool on/off sound that reminds me of splinter cell lol)

No need to unlock the screen to get your Torch App.

Hit "Thanks" button if it help:highfive:

THANK YOU for all the great suggestions, will try a bunch of stuff and report back.
I had read that Widget Locker drains the battery quite a lot though, have you found that to be the case on the S3?
So far I was using brightest flashlight free from lock screen, but it opens the app, I basically want to stay on the locksreen for toggling on/off.
LED genius concept is nice, but I'm afraid it will keep opening in my pocket when I shake my hips (seriously, I'm already using shaking to silence the wonderful eCID app when it is speaking)
I've a bunch of stuff to investigate thanks to you all! Cheers!

Get the app called TeslaLED it has a cool and easy on/off widget as well as a shortcut which you can put on the lockscreen. I like this app cause it doesn't need all kinds of strange access/permissions like the others do.

Quick update:
Tried all that was suggested. Ended up using Widget Locker + assistive light widget on lock screen. While the widget is not very pretty, t'is the fastest way to launch the led I found (slightly faster than teslaLED for me).
So far, Widget Locker doesn't seem to drain the battery too bad. And it is very sweet to have more than 4 shortcuts on the lock screen

high
my solution
you download teslaled apk free
in setting to lockscreen your put the app on the lockscreen
and in the setting of teslaled you select "start light when app is open"
and now on the lockscreen you have the icon teslaled you pullup and the flashlight come
sorry for my very bad english!!!!!
see you soon

You should check out Search Light
It's the fastest starting flashlight app on my phone (Galaxy Nexus). Much faster than Tesla. And no silly permissions like internet and positioning like some flashlight apps need.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scottmain.android.searchlight
Maybe that in combination with widgetlocker? I don't have widgetlocker so I can't vouch for the combo.

On my SGS II, I use a ROM with JKAY support just so I can have this lockscreen: youtube.com/watch?v=JL-sc2QlNtA
As you can see around the 16 second mark, you just need to slide that tab left to toggle the LED. I'm not sure what the status is on JKAY MOD on the S3 but I know he is making a version for this phone, so check it out.

Regarding this topic, just to add one other advanced method (which I am using) is to combine Tasker, Widgetlocker, and teslaLED with the S3's proximity sensor to control the LED flash.
Basically you turn on the LED flash on or off by putting your finger near the proximity sensor which is on the left of the front-facing camera.
**This method is not necessarily faster than using a widget, just a heads up to those people who are using tasker and widgetlocker, that this is one possible implementation they can use.
The reason i did this was because the widget on the lockscreen sometimes activated from accidental pressing in my pocket which resulted in huge battery drainage and a hot phone.
(Another reason was that I was bored and wanted to do something with the proximity sensor, and this was a pretty cool way to do it, plus you have one less widget on the lockscreen if you find it ugly)

Is Widget Locker necessary for this? Don't Tasker and teslaLED suffice?

Yes Tasker and teslaLED would be sufficient, however Widgetlocker is there to set up the condition for this profile to work. So this profile only activates IF widgetlocker is running (that is when your phone is locked). You could do without this condition if you wish, however do note that without such a condition, the proximity sensor will remain on indefinitely, which would cause a huge battery drain to occur. By setting it so that it requires Widgetlocker to be activated, the sensor only turns on when the phone is locked.

A little late to the party. Flashlight LED genius is free and also has a 'shake to activate' feature. Hit the home button to turn on the lockscreen and shake. it has sensitivity options to avoid accidents.

Nexus One LED Flashlight
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jazzmoonstudio.android.widget.flashlight&hl=en
Fastest and simple one click flashlight widget. If you want to start it with an app shortcut you can install the addon. It is very lightweight, has no running services and stuff. I always return to this one.
Seriously, try it!

Thank you!
Nexus One LED Flashlight is indeed the simplest solution! Shortcut available as addon from Google Play for TouchWiz plus needs no suspicious or permissions (as of dec. 2012).
Thanks fallenwout!

If it's fastest way, I'd go with Jkay's mod, don't think it can get faster than this. It has an option where you can press the home button once to wake up the phone and press a second time and keep it pressed for a second to light up the led. Phone will remain awake but you never even need to unlock it. Turn off by keeping home pressed for a second again. It has helped me a lot.

Definitely the most simple solution witch is btw an awesome feature, same like double press home on lock for camera.

I vote for Led Genius, but it is really "user dependent" and i will explain why.
I use a phone case that actualy cover the screen, it's a leather flip-case. In case i want to open the flash light, i press the power button without opening the case and then i shake the phone. The light turns on. Since you have the sensitivity adjustable and the fact that if you don't press the power it will not interpret no matter how hard you shake it, it is virtually impossible to activate it in your pocket by mistake. (my power button is not side-accesible other than using your finger)
This method allows me to operate the flashlight without even looking at my screen (or at the phone for that matter), and to turn it off exactly the same: without opening the flipcase. Once i finish with the flash light i am shaking it again to stop it, then i press the power button to turn off the screen and that is all.
Just my 2 cents...

I use Tesla led in combination with appshaker. Shake phone on lockscreen turns led on.

Has anyone found a compatible flashlight app that uses the LED?

I have tried LED Flash, Moment Flash, Falaxy Flash, and more from the market than I can count or remember and so far none work.
**Edit**
List of apps that work
WINNER: Tiny flashight + LED
The best option IMO
This is the real deal here. Works perfect and adds some other neat features. Thanks doink123 for developing this great app and for making it free for all of us,
The only single, tiny little complaint (or rather, suggestion) is a widget to toggle the LED on/off, but other than that, amazing.
Runner Up 1) Power Control Plus - $1.99 In The Market)
It works as a widget to toggle the LED on and off. And it works great, only down side is it is $1.99. For me, I use the flashlight on a daily basis so it is worth it for me until a free alternative is found or developed. it does have a lot of other great feaures to but you can read those in the market.
Runner Up 2) Instant Heart Read - Free In The Market
An app to check your hearbeat, but instantly turns the LED on so it works as a flashlight app. Kind of a cool app anyways, I am leaving this on my phone just for fun.
Dunno about the Epic... hard to say. But on my EVO I use "LED Desire light" which gets very bright when turned up all the way (probably because the EVO has 2 LEDs). And it has a widget.
Hopefully they make a compatible app/widget for the Epic flash soon. EpicFlash would be a nice sequal to MomentFlash (love this)
Well I found an app that works... sort of.
It is called Flashligh LED
The app itself is very basic. It does not turn the light on/off like a toggle. Rather, there is a timer and when you hit the button, it turns on the light for X amount of time.
Now, the app will turn on the light, but only for about 1 second or so, no matter what you change the time setting to.
Still not what I am looking for, but getting closed. Woot!
Nexus One Torch was my favorite on my Nexus! The widget matched perfectly with the Galaxy TW theme!
I surprisingly use the flashlight ALOT.

This is a very good sign. I'm sure trrobert(might be a bit off on the spelling) who did momentflash could peek at this to adopt what does work and get his working for us.

Bump. Hopefully now that this device is released someone can take a stab at this. Woot.
I'm using Power Control Plus from the Market & when you add flashlight as one of your buttons it works! It turns on & off the light with no problems. It is a slight delay when turning the light on.
^Awsome tried it and it worked. Thanks!!
I can confirm it Power control plus works, such an elegant solution, better than some cheesy flash light picture taking up the whole screen.
Thanks journeyman73!
Just so you can fix it OP, its Power Control Plus is $1.99.
Instant heart rate app
Instant heart rate automatically turns on the flash, so thats one way to do it.

Right, it's what I'm using at the moment. As an addendum, you can turn the flash on and off with the icon in the top right.
Hi guys,
I've just released Tiny Flashlight + LED v2.2. I tried to make it work on Epic 4G by guessing the right parameters (because I don't have an Epic 4G device).
Can you check it and tell me if it works?
Sorry great app but led did not light up
Confirmed, Tiny Flashlight does not light up the LED on my epic.
I reorganised the first post with the new apps that have been found to work.

So LED shows up now, and clicking the power turns it on, w00t!
There is a little red label above the power button that always says 0%, what controls that?
Also, the power button doesn't turn the light off, but exiting the app does so this is much better than what we had before!

Wake phone with screen gesture ?

Hi all,
I saw some great stuff to wake phone swyping directly on the screen, like PGM on play store (for Evo 3D and Galaxy Nexus), and was wondering if would be possible to have it for my One X.
I was using Faux kernel including S2W, and really liked it, but I think it would be better/easier/more useful if we can wake touching the screen, not the 3 buttons.
Also, for exemple in Nova Launcher, there is the option to launch an app making other gestures than swype, like pinch or rotate. Do you think it would be possible to wake the phone just pinchin screen when off ? What about battery drain ? Lot of users had complaints about S2W draining the battery, but I didn't noticed a big difference with or without this feature.
Do you think a feature like this would be useful ? Technically, is it realistic ?
Sorry for poor english :silly:
nobody has any idea or interest in such feature? I think it would be great to have the possibility to pinch the screen to wake it, so easier than swiping over the buttons, and with less fails. And I don't think that kind of gesture could be easily done while phone is in the pocket.
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk
Hello, great idea but not so "feasible" easilly ... imo
How do you swype on a screen which is not activated ?
You will let the screen always activated ? I don't think the battery will appreciate.
Maybe you can activate the touch screen without the display screen
but that should surely need a kernel modification if it's not "hardware" locked.
The only app i see that make something very similar is Tap Tap Tap
and it uses the proximity sensor ...
PS : I never achieved to make Tap Tap Tap work correctly each time i Tap Tap
Yes, kernel modification should be needed, the Evo 3D app PGM is a kernel module. I emailed the developer, who explained that he logically can't develop apps for devices that he hasn't got. But if it works in Evo 3D and Galaxy Nexus, it surely can be developed for One X.
His app does not seems to drain too much battery. Anyway, if it is possible to make it using 2-fingers gestures like pinch or rotate, maybe it should be possible too to only activate the screen when there is this double contact. I don't really understand about development, but had read something like S2W was not draining battery because of activation only when the 2nd button was touched.
Tap Tap is not compatible with ICS 4.0.4, can't try it...
But many comments say that it drains battery a lot, and can easily wake screen when in pocket, so it's more like an option you punctually use I think.
Well, only 10 votes, but 60% love the idea.
Would be a great feature included in future ViperX 2.0 rom

A bunch of questions?

Howdy, gentlemen (and gentleladies) I have quite a few questions regarding the note 2. I know my way around android, these are about the device itself. As questions are answered, I will update the OP with the solutions / answers for reference, so others might learn from my ignorance
I bought a flip cover case, not the genuine samsung case, but one off ebay. It doesnt have an indentation for the home button so it is constantly being turned on. Is there a fix, preferably without rooting, for this? Maybe using the proximity sensor?
With the same flip case, I would like to know if it is at all possible to have the devices screen automatically turn on when it is opened, and turn off when it is shut? (Think "iPad with its magnetic cover") Possibly through the use of NFC tags or proximity sensor? The proximity sensor would have obvious issues with other things interfering. SOLUTION FOUND: DOWNLOAD "SIMPLE COVER LOCK" FROM PLAY STORE.
Are there mods that allow selecting something using the S-Pen's button, while it is in the air? Maybe using it to highlight text while in the air or click the button to register an input? I do a lot of copy and pasting and a feature like this can greatly improve productivity.
Is it possible to get the S-Pen to be able to push the soft keys? I absolutely hate having to continually change my hand posture whenever I need to access the back key or open a menu. Maybe, building on my previous question, have some sort of air gesture with the S-Pen button depressed that performs the actions of the soft buttons? WORK-AROUND, NO TRUE SOLUTION YET: GESTURE < AND ^ WITH S-PEN BUTTON DEPRESSED FOR BACK AND MENU ACTIONS, RESPECTIVELY
My last question is simple. Is the LED indicator an RGB LED? Like the one on the galaxy nexus that can be changed to any color? It would be cool to have different notification colors per app, blue for facebook, green for messaging and so on. ANSWER: YES
I appreciate the help, normally I would use my Google-fu but I much prefer answers from other users.

I can somewhat answer the first question. There are apps that allow you to use the proximity sensor to turn off and on the screen. A couple that I've personally tried are Intellicover and Auto Screen on. There's also Screen Lock and Off that allows you to turn off your screen by tapping a button. These work well, but if your flip cover is constantly bumping the home button, using these apps won't do anything different as your home button will still get bumped and then the screen will constantly turn on.
the best app to use for turning on the screen automatically is "simple cover lock" its a small free app that does just what it says it was created for the note 2 and does what it needs to really good
For the menu & back button question, hold the button on your s pen & draw a < on the screen to go back & a ^ for the menu
Edit: Also, Light Flow from the play store let's you control the LED lights

Thanks, seems to work fine for a beta, although it does show my homescreen for a second after the flip cover opens before going to the lock screen, even if it was already on the lockscreen when I shut it. I've never seen that happen with any lockscreen alternative, must be a bug. also, it gets kind of annoying if I accidentally move my hand over the proximity sensor and it shuts the display off, but the note is so big that this occurs rarely. Nonetheless, thanks

to fix the screen turning off when you move your hand over you would need to change the "turn off screen after" time to 5 so it would take longer to turn off when you closed the cover, i dont have the lockscreen bug on my rooted note 2 running a 4.1.2 samsung rom
I see, ill do that! I dont plan on rooting anytime soon, so I guess I have to live with it.

[APP][ROOT] [UPDATE: 10.28.13] Flashlight Widget GS4

Another widget i decided to share with you peoples
I noticed by default there is a "Assistive light" widget for us to put on the home screen. It toggles the flashlight on or off. Well its really dim so i wrote my own widget to do the same thing. This one however gets put on the lockscreen so just swipe over and tap and boom you got a light
May add options for light levels.
Should work on all GS4 variants, only tested on T-Mobile variant.
TO INSTALL:
Simply install the apk, then in your app drawer look for "Flashlight options" and click it to set up your options. (The icon is a flashlight btw xD)
UPDATE 10.28.13:
- Added levels adjustment
- Remove widget and re-add to update after installing new APK
Then create your widget on your lockscreen and profit
Works perfectly thus far and exactly what my phone has been missing. THANK YOU!!

Same for me! Prolly gonna add the brightness buttons to it soon too.
What do you guys think? Three buttons, one for dim, half, and full brightness? Or a positive and negative button to adjust brightness in one by one increments? I think the three buttons would be quicker to adjust the brightness.

Any way this can be added to the lock screen where I don't need to swipe to get to the widget? Ideally, I'd hit the Home or Power button to turn on the phone, then either use your flashlight widget, or swipe to go to the home screen. I'm a beginner on playing with the lock screen, but a flashlight like yours (excellent job on the 3 settings!) is really the only thing I'd like to access that quickly.
Any way to use this as a home screen app? Ever since I've been on Android, I've missed the 3-level flashlight I had on WinMo 6.5 on my old HD2.
Great effort on this, thanks!

You can tap and hold my widget on your lockscreen and drag it to the RIGHT most "page" on the lockscreen and it will be the first thing you see when you turn on your screen.
Meaning, tap and hold my widget on your lockscreen, and move your finger to the right of your screen until you see the gray squares stop moving.
Thanks, elesbb! Got it working. Now if I could only get the big clock I normally see to show along with your light, it would be perfect, although it seems only one widget per screen is allowed? Again, I'm a noob about lockscreens.
You really make some cool additions to the phone.

Yes, only one widget per screen, currently working on an app that will hold a widget within a widget (not looking to promising) so i may have to edit the actual smali files itself to add say two widgets per screen. (thats something i REALLY want) so once we finally get a sammobile tar of 4.3, i will be working on mods for my ROM and that is one that i widh to add.

on screen instant lock shortcut

Hi
I use nova launcher prime and am used to a shortcut on my screen to quickly lock the screen instead of using the hardware button to lock the screen. However since I have moved over to p2.. After I press the lock screen shortcut from nova the screen for goes black but the screen isn't locked... It is not till 10 secs later when the screen actually locks
I hate this feature as it stops me from putting the phone into my pocket instantly after locking. How to fix this? I have set up power button to instantly lock the phone after sleep.
It's not P2s problem it's Android's security feature. You'll need root access to instantly lock screen
But from quicktiles there is an icon to do it

Thanks yes i came across that as well... However it is really a total failure on Android part to not have anything built in to allow people to instantly lock... Isn't there any way to put a shortcut to the system icon on my desktop? In stock launcher or otherwise?
Unfortunately looks like Android is going the way of Apple with these silly restrictions becoming more n more common
Well it's a security feature which means they've probably found something wrong with putting a quick lock from 3rd party apps.
Use "Wide touch" found under Setting->Feature. You can assign multiple gesture into it.
