[MOD] Torch boost! Full LED power when using your Z1 as a light source!

[olokos]

Hello guise,

This time I'll share with you something that @RyokoN found out. Please thank him here. I just made proper changes to the file he mentioned.
Someday I was killed by my friend N5 torch. It was so bright. Now I decided that I want my torch to be actually useful, just like his torch is. (we were trying to see details in a dark place to fix the window).

It may break your LED if you leave it on for some time. I'm not responsible for any damage. It actually made my back around the LED a bit warm after a few seconds in the extreme version!
Please be aware that it's not safe to test it on devices that are older than Xperia Z as LED's may vary hardware-side.

Anyway, enjoy
Extreme version - just torch
Medium version - just torch
Medium version - torch, camera, flash, notification LED <------------ RECOMMENDED!
Extreme version - torch, camera, flash, notification LED

Revert to stock Z1 torch

It's based on Z1 .108 firmware (4.4.4), but it WILL work on 4.3 roms. Can't say about older android versions - you tell me!
Please test and let me know how it went

It's significantly brighter now. At first it barely gave any light and now it's even brighter then the light in my room on a small distance, lol.

Confirmed working on:
Z 4.4.4
ZR
Z1 Compact
Z1s
Z1 4.3 4.4
Z2 4.4
Z3 4.4

Wow! Tks to your mod, I'm finally throw my flashlight out in the garbage because now it's brighter that that old flashlight.....

Have you checked if the led can endure the increased amount of current?
i dont want my led to be damaged permanently because of this

I didn't, but it's using the same current like the flash in camera. It shouldn't harm your device if you won't use it for a long time like 15 minutes - just a guess.
As always, use it in your own risk.

Ok.. that's awesome!!!! It's amazing, even if you turn torch on when taking a photo it's brighter that flash itself.. I'm wondering
If there is any chance to boost flash at the same level with camera to get better pictures..

Lol, I actually thought that I set it at the same level as the flash.

1 of the disadvantages of glass+metal: it heats up pretty quickly,

 

[LaosPerson]

OMG

DANG this is bright, confirmed working for Xperia Z1S I actually kind of blinded myself without even looking at the led directly

If it can increase power of flash in camera, its great. ?

It's risky using it for a device with potentially different hardware, could burn out the torch

Yeah, you are right

But how i can make this mode for other devices?

Which parameters should i change?

What about notificatin light can you make one for that?

 

[babyboy3265]

Ok... Wow... This is crazy I thought its impossible.. Bravo.. Im with iHackers 4.1 and it works.

Problem is that its stronger now than the actual camera flash....

Please make a new version where the cam flash will be as strong.. Pleeeease

 

[olokos]

Nope, since notification light works for a really long time and it's too risky.
