Question [Q] Flashlight app with only FLASH permission

Hey all, after searching here and on google play without finding anything I dediced to ask you guys!

I can't find an app that activates my Flash LED which is next to the camera of my Ace, or, being more precise, I've used Tiny Flashlight and it works but it has TOO MANY USELESS permissions!
I installed many apps which have only flash permission or have no permission, but they just don't work, it says that flash is ON but actually it's OFF.

So any of you who sometimes uses smartphone as a Torch could suggest me a good working app? The security aspect of Android is very understimated and it seems that no one cares about permissions.

(I already posted this thread in the Ace section but it seems that no one knows the answer, so that topic could be closed in order to not creating duplicates).
You can press "Thanks" if you think I helped in some way.

Hi

I use TeslaLED - works great.

Only permissions are 'Control LED' and 'Prevent phone from sleeping'.

Besides that, it has a customizeable widget, and are nice and simple (which i like of this type of app )

Don't know why but it doesn't work for me. Tried all settings possible.

In 'Settings -> Advanced -> LED Method' there is a few options if it doesn't work by standard. Have you tried the different options? Mine worked on 'Auto' (default).

Of course, I tried all of them, sometimes it force closes and sometimes nothing happens..

Hmm then i don't know how to fix it.

Don't know that Ace, and thus don't know if there should be any specific issues with that phone...

Try the "torch" application. I think it's listed as "Nexus Torch" in google play, it might work for your phone. It has permission requirements other than just accessing the camera light.
