Flashlight from lockscreen

[Netuser]

Hi,

I am on eXistenz ultra ROM, I was wondering if there is anyway to activate the flashlight with a physical button from lock screen ?

On my S4 I can just press home button to do so but ZL don't have home button so is it possible to do with long press power button or volume or camera button?

Thanks

Yes, you can do so,you'll need :

1)Root
2) Xposed framework
3) Gravity box

When you'll have all of the above :

*open up gravity box app(after activating it from the xposed modules screen and a reboot )

*hardware key actions

*scroll down

*lockscreen torch

You can enable torch in either of the two options given there(on home button long press(only when display is on),or volume down button long press(available when display is off) )

Thanks for your reply, I already have this but in Gravity box there is no option for flashlight neither in lockscreen option nor in hardware key action.

Can you post a screenshot where you see it ?
Thanks

Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.
