About LED Flashlight (+multitasking)
This is another LED flashlight (not screen-based), with some slight different take:
- now it will turn on the flashlight by itself on app startup, no need to hit the "Turn it on" button. In effect that button is tapped for you on startup.
- no settings, no special strobe effect just no-frill lighting; with exception of removing ads for those on over-quota'd cell data, that does not apply to Wi-Fi or unlimited data, or those on data plan still well within quota.
- fully multitasking, allowing you to run GPS/compass/Web/et cetera, it fully took advantage of what Android provides, no code hacking nor rooting required.
Note:
1. Camera hardware is not accessible when flashlight is on;the still on status is shown on the top, when you turn off the camera is released for use once again.
2. The words "Still on" is replaced by "LED Still On" in the final version. And title bar is removed for extra tapping room.
3. Reverse of Note #1 is also true, if LED is on from the Flashlight app (notification is there) Camera hardware cannot be used at the same time.
4. there's a lag in turning flashlight on if it wasn't used for a while; this is a system behavior to avoid low memory and cannot be avoided.
Sorry a bit shaky on the demo video. It demos how to turn it on, keep it on while use Google Maps (GPS), and turn it off by going back while Maps is active. This video is made all the way back to original release, but this app is designed to be very simple to use and content of video should still hold water.

App History & Updates
What's Changed
2.0
- new interface (swiping) so users won't turn it off by mistake, older one-touch off interface can be used instead, through Classic Mode.
- multiple languages, requiring user contributions other than Traditional Chinese.
- note: new interface does reveal an issue in which the app is programmed to minimize flash hardware usage and not playful blinking, so you may get App Crash if you play with it.
1.2
- turning on by itself; upon app-startup, no need to hit "Turn On" button.

Worked great up until a bug started showing up where the app would throw a java error and closed the app, leaving the led on and having to go to her apps menu to shut it off. Just went ahead and downloaded another app.

if you are on a limited data plan, this works great. I've watched the data on this, and the times I've used it, there is still no mobile data registered. does what's needed, simple no frills app that turns on the camera flash to work as an emergency flashlight.
