MDA Camera Flash as a Flashlight

[cutejules]

Hi! I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a way to assign a hardware button for the camera flashlight or even a screen icon. I read somewhere that somebody was working on a program for it. Thank you for your time.

Look for a proggy called pflash. It'll turn your screen white and temporarily disable the backlishgt timer. assign that to a hardware button and you're done.

Thanks Nate, I was hoping there was a program that would use the camera's led flash as a torch. I found veejay's program, unfortunately it didn't work for my mda. I'll give pflash a try though.

No prob, I think it was a free proggy by David Anders (easy enough to find via google). He's also got an AWESOME RSS reader too.

I've got my MS Voice Command on my 8125 and added a shortcut to Pflash to the \windows\programs directory and renamed it flashlight and VC hs no trouble understanding it and calling it too!

Maybe you can try with this.

Unzip both attached files.
Install Mortscript app and copy flash.mscr file to PPC.
Run flash.mscr file.

It works on my Atom Exec/WM5. The .mscr file sorta run the test Flash command from the Atom Exec's Self Diagnostics apps.

WM5 compatible - HTC Phones only

This program is used to permit control of the flash light on various HTC Phones, to allow it to be used as a torch etc.

Note: this app may will cause permanent damage to your flash led over prolonged periods.
The app will disable itself after prolonged use, but still, use it at your own risk.

I cannot confirm what hardware it will work on, other then the Universal phone.

Juncker - my app is not compatible with wizard. I don't have a wizard to test on so never wrote support for it.

That worked really well.

What abt the light dmg topic... use long time = killing the light?

Anybody have any luck running that mscr on the 8125? I couldn't get it to work :(
I haven't found any other way to control the flash w/o starting up the camera...

Do something work for the wizard now?

[DarkPsycho]

At this point, still no. But I for one would be willing to put my wizard on the line to test a version of vijay555's program for the wizard.
