Description

From the listing uploaded by “apps”.

I wrote this because a wanted a simple app to use the camera LED on my phone as a flashlight, without a lot of bells and whistles, and without needing Internet access, display ads, etc. So there it is. Just like a real flashlight, the entire interface consists of a single button. Pressing it will turn the light on and off. It now includes a settings menu to customize which features you want to enable. Thanks to Simiographics (Salvador Lopez) for the icon.

Open Flashlight APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Open Flashlight APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 0adc9a99d92dcdddabecdd8f8c1e708a.
