[APP][6.0+][UPDATED] FrontFlash Notification v1.9.4 (20180217)

[spacejam]

What is this?

Basically by installing this application, as soon as you receive a notification, the front flash of your phone starts blinking as it were a notification LED.
It can be useful to all those (but not only) that have a device without the notification LED, but instead have a flash next to the selfie camera.

It also extends the concept of notification to the unread badges received from the applications (e.g the "Facebook like"). So, when an unread badge occours, in the same way as a "normal" notification the flash starts blinking and you will be notified of what's going on.
Various settings are also available to better configure the application to suit your needs.

It works on all devices equipped with a front flash, regardless of whether or not it has the hardware notification LED.
Tests have been performed on Samsung devices, in particular but not only on the J series.

FrontFlash Notification

Just an update for Exynos chipset based device users... the front flash detection issue is not related to the chipset.
For some strange reasons (don't ask me why), on the new devices series (Exynos of course), Samsung has implemented only partially the Camera2 API for the developers. Hardware level: LIMITED (partial Camera2 support)

This is why at the time been my app can't use the front flash on your device.
In the next few days I'm going to produce a new 1.7 version, where if Camera2 fails the app takes control over the camera and his front flash using the old Android API.
Based on the first tests, fortunatelly this seems to fix the problem.

Keep in touch

How much battery does this drain?

How much battery does this drain?

The battery consumption is completely negligible.
Max 1,5% in 24 hours... usually less

You are during the "Service suspension" period.
Scroll to the bottom and disable the option or setup your preferred time slot

Hi,
what problem did you experience on your device? Any message from the app?
Did you grant notification access permission at first run?

I need more details, please.
Thanks

I Installed it and granted notification access. The first time I installed it, it quickly blinked the rear flash, then the menu screen comes up. Grayed out "Front Flash not Present". I even rebooted.

Attached: Screenshot, Device with front flash ON

Hi,
I'm sorry for the delay in answering you.

I may be wrong but seems the problem is that you've granted the notification access permission manually before the first run.

I mean... at first run tha app checks the rear flash first (quick blink) then only if necessary (and for your device it is) ask you to grant the front camera permission and then the notification access permission, in this order.

Try to uninstall the app and start from scratch... install and just run it!

Let me know,
thanks

Thanks for the response. I uninstalled the app. Tried Restoring from Titanium, didnt work. I even switched ROMs to Nova X OS 7.1.1 and re-downloaded from the store, and nada.

Suggestions?

It never gets to prompt me for Front Camera permission.
