Alright guys here it is. LightXT its pretty self explanatory. This does require you to be rooted. This is V.1 so there might be bugs but I haven't found any so you should be fine. This has only been tested on US XT720 running Khalpowers miui themed V3 but technically it should work on all models of this phone with the auto focus led.
Disclaimer: I am not held responsible for any harm this app may cause your phone or your LED light.

*****THIS APP DOES NOT TURN YOUR XENON FLASH ON IT TURNS ON YOUR AUTO FOCUS LIGHT***** sorry for the confusion
First!!!
Works great but i found a bug.
If you turn on the light and then rotate the screen you have to click 2 times to turn it off again...
But still awesome thanks!!!!
thanks. is the light supposed to be red? that's all Im getting
Yes its our auto focus light. Our actual flash is xenon which requires a charge to flash that's why no other flashlight app works so we created this one specific to our phone.
its amazing, thx! =))
this is amazing! thank you... thank you... thank you...
Thanks alot man! My buddy has been dying for this app and it works great. Any plans for a widget??
Just thought of something.
Could this somehow be integrated into say Khal's rom and set for use on media key?
That would be sick, probably just wishful thinking though.
I hear a cry off in the distance....
Widget...Widget.....WIDGET!!!!

I'm trying to convince him into making us a widget it shouldn't be a problem. And there will be a version with the rotate bug fixed uploaded soon. Can't give an exact time but ill update the first post when its in my hands.
Just Great...this can help me...Thanks
until a build in widget is added, the next best thing as a work around is to use

yup thats the only one that turns on our flash is a xenox so we can not just turn it on and off. thats why when you download a led flashlight app from the market ie. droidlight it does nothing. the apps are looking in the wrong place for the led to turn on and thats why we made this app ts made only for our phone and all other variants of this phone.
i feel like i wrote that before.

Is it possible to use the touch buttons as an LED notifier for missed calls, email, and SMS? Sure they cant change colors but at least it could blink every X seconds/minutes.
You do Realize this has been asked before.. I sent Jac a thread that has this working on the I9000.. Not sure if he's still looking into it or not though.
its already done for Captivate.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780732
Whats included:
-Correct Screen auto-rotate
-HSUPA support
-MobileAP support (aka wireless tethering)
-Selecting with power button in recovery mode
-External SD card support
-Postboot scripts
-Voodoo lagfix
-Softkey Backlight Notification
I tried and got bricked... so if someone can make this for Vibrant i will be happy.

I personally don't care for that app. It's okay idea, but what really needs to get done is samsung to implement the Notifications into the buttons. I've seen what the i9000 has done, it's not too bad. This has been posted many times, you might want to try the search button

Ive been using that but its questionable how it affects battery life and long-term effects on the screen life.
noLED is a decent alternative imo
When I used to noLED I would press the volume buttons and it would give me the volume sound and light up the screen but still on black. So I predicted it would kill my battery quicker.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
NoLED is a PITA...it adds another layer of lockscreens/button-touches to get your notifications, thus I didn't care for it much. It also FC'd on me all the time...YMMV.
Someone will most likely get the button led flash to work one day, just be patient.
Flash notify in the market place will suffice for now and it actually works pretty good
surprised this hasn't already been implemented for the vibrant. if it's already done on the captivate isn't it just a matter of time for someone to port the code over?
Reason it hasn't been implemented got the vibrant its because your talking a whole new kernel build... Along with that the current implementations of it, from what I read prior, aren't too fond of battery life and they can't make it blink like a led would do. The buttons backlight just stays on. I don't know if that has changed any time recently but thats what it was like the previous time I looked it up.

hmm.. i just remember something
the Flash in this phone is a REAL Xenon flash, it's not just a LED light like the other phones
so i don't think any app will make it work at all
even if it does, it will just be a pop of light ever few sec
as it needs to charge up then pop the xenon

Thanks for the useful info!!! Sucks it has to be that way!
don't give up yet
maybe try to find a similar nokia app that reaperzero was talking about
personally i've not seen it
Nokia X6 have led flash , not xenon flash...
I can only imagine that even if the xenon flash did have the physical capability to stay on to be used as a flash light, that the battery would be dead in 10 seconds because of the power needed.
There are several free apps on the market that make the screen show a full white image. That's the best you're going to get with our devices.

True.
A xenon needs to power up first, aided by a capacitor, then just blast the light. It can't retain the light for long. Imagine, the brightness of the xenon can fill a whole room.
As for reaperzero's X6, if you mean this
Code:
http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_x6-2922.php
It doesn't have xenon flash.
Just for sharing, I use "Color Flashlight", it's a good app.

Lol mistake on my part. Haven't had that old piece of junk for awhile. Forgot that its just leds
If we ever will have a flashlight app, someone needs to write it especially for the XT720, and make it access the focus assist led. Sure, it's red, but check by yourself how bright it actually is in a dark room!
+1 on the app Color flashlight, very bright using the screen, and has other functions too, I've had lots of laughs with the "word scroller" having profanity words blinking or scrolling on the screen...
Actually, I dig the idea of a red flashlight.
Who says it needs to be white? I would definitely use a red flashlight.
i agree with the idea too
maybe we can get some DEV interested on this
Right! It's bright, it's red, let's ask some dev to use it as a flashlight
I agree too
Right! It's bright, it's red, let's ask some dev to use it as a flashlight

Wow, you mean I actually had a good idea?
So, I have no idea how to develop an app, but I think it would be closely related to the camera functions, are we talking about Continius autofocus maybe?
How does one go about to ask/request an dev to build such an app?

Yup, I remember that one too! Ah, but enough reminiscing. On the subject of dimming things, I have been wanting to hack the screen so that it can go dimmer than the current 12% lock. I have been using screen filter, but it bugs me knowing how much battery I could be saving at night! If someone could point me in the right direction of what files to edit, or better yet, help me with this since I know nothing about coding, then I would greatly appreciate it. You could even add it to your rom, klin!

Not sure exactly what the process is to dim lower than that. I do know however that when I just installed CM7 the brightness goes substantially lower than the stock or any other ROM has. Might be a place to start looking?
And also as far as I'm aware, there's no way to dim the capacitive buttons. On or off, unfortunately.
Thanks for the tip, Ill look into it! I really wish I could install cm7 to test, but I need my device fully functional almost every day! Maybe Ill buy another galaxy player, lol!

Anyone having issues with Instagram on the ICS leak(DaGr8's)? When ever i choose a pic from the gallery and it takes me to apply the filter the phone just becomes unusable. There is nothing that i can do and i have to pull the battery. Is anyone else having this issue or is there something that i did wrong?
it's not just you, and I'm on the stock leak.
Its not just us, its on the problem section on the app on google play
I don't have to pull the battery. I dunno if you guys ever knew this, but if you hold the power button down for around 15 seconds the phone will hard reboot (same as pulling the battery). You will feel the phone vibrate, then reboot like normal Save your battery cover , just hold the power button down.

You guys do realize the Instagram team most likely only had the latest GB to test their app out on, right? ICS is a very small percentage of Android right now.

No, the Google team themselves had access to Instagram before launch. Hugo Barra is a good example of who had it beforehand. I'm pretty sure if not positive all the Android devices that Instagram took a photo of were seeded by Google.

ok I gotta ask this question, what is so great about instagram? I see it over the tech forums, everyone here seems to go wild when it was released for android. I just don't get it, it's a camera effects program that uploads your photos and geotags them? is it really that big of a deal?

Its more of a social media app. you have followers and you follow people. Kind of like twitter but for pictures. Even though Instagram doesn't work, MyTubo works fine on ICS. If you dont know what MyTubo is, its pretty much the same as Instagram but only for Android users.
Ahh, that explains why I have no idea what it is as I don't use social media systems
Yeah locks up after applying filter on Note however on Gnex it works fine.

Same issue here, vibration is way to light I can't feel it at all. Had no problems with my Pebble. Hoping they will at least have a software fix down the road.
It's actually appalling compared to the Pebble to be honest.
Does anyone have the Gear Live to do a side by side?
If it stays like this, I'm going back my Pebble. Vibration is almost non existent on this thing unfortunately.
Willing to live with the bugs as its V1 etc., but not 'getting' notifications due to this super weak motor, a fundamental for this platform, means I'll probably have to return it.
Got comfortable with my phone on silent and my Pebble to let me know whats going on.

I think the problem is not that that the vibration is not strong enough, but that it only vibrates for a split second. If it would just do 2 vibration each 1 second with a short pause inbetween that would be fine. But the way it is right now is just way too short!
