I need a good android flashlight

[SAWYER]

I have tried several from the play store and I am not liking them. I would prefer one that might be part of a rom that I can side load

I used to use this one before lollipop which has one built into the notification pull down area.

There isnt much to like or dislike given all it does is put on your phone's LED flash.

Thanks just installed this and all the different features are awesome. However in a tight pinch I'll probably continue to use Lollipop's built in because it's super quick and easy to access. If I need more colors or features I'll definitely use that app.

click light lets you double tap the lock button to turn a light on and off so you dont have to go in and open an app. or even unlock your phone.

Thanks for this. My company's phone security policy requires that no apps can run from the lock screen so this is a nice way of getting to the flashlight w/o having to constantly unlock.

I recommend one of these:

The LED on your phone isnt designed to run constantly.
Some of the really basic feature phones circa 2004 had proper flashlights built into them.

Why do you assume my flashlight is running constantly? I use it maybe 30 seconds at a time about 10 times a month.

Even though my Nexus 5 has less than stellar battery life, I think I'll survive. Regardless thank you for the suggestion and link

Does Torch still exist? It's what I used with my MyTouch 4G phone until I changed to apple

I use the one that came with my S5. Here's a selection of libre lights, but they don't do anything fancy. You push a widget, and a light comes on. At least you won't get spyware...

A really good app to know about. I have always been looking for this kind of application and haven't found one that would work without Root. So... Satisfied

That's what I use. I use it all the time and have zero complaints.

30 seconds is much longer than half a second. Those flashes were not intended for that kind of use.

Matters not to me. I'd rather have a flashlight than a camera flash. If it burns out, I'll be much more upset that I lost my flashlight.

Notification toggle. It puts a flashlight in your notification area. It even turns off just by hitting the power button. Couldnt be simpler.

I seriously doubt they will be as adversely affected as you claim.

Otherwise everyone's flashes would burn out. It's only extended uses, like many minutes consecutively where you are actively doing harm. Even then you'll probably get a new phone before the flash kills itself.

The flash cannot burn out. Its a LED. It would take decades of use for that to happen.
