Those are great ideas....but flash isnt working that great on the current devices right now, that calls for this type of "menu" for playing other swf's.

Theres already a few flash players and widgets plugins out there, the objective of this app was only to give light, the rest is just for fun.

One thing I have problems now is the size of the screen, or the interaction flash can have with the device's system. Throttle launcher is the most advanced in that department, but it was not build specificly to be a player.

There are indeed a lot of fun things to do in flash and interactions to use on our devices, but for the most animations flash is still pretty slow on our 200/400mhz machines.

In the (near?) future it will certainly be worth it, with a lot more speed to create cool and interactive animations, applications, games and other uses for flash.

One thing I noticed on the Nintendo DS is the multiplicity of touch-screen-based funny games that they did on a short period of time, and nothing as boring as those puzzle games that we keep getting from developers for almost a decade now. The iPhone gave us quite a slap on our stylus, and we should indeed ask for more.

I still have space for 16 or 20 uses on this flashlight app, but its just going to get used for some laughs.

Like I said, some are good ideias (mostly the ones I copied from nuelight3), but some will simply get old very fast...

;)

So... If I have space to make some more, what should it be? It has to be light related...

candle

match

firefly

eyes (evil/scary?)

Eye of Sauron (Lord of the rings)

scanner (aliens 2) not light related...hmmmm but I always wanted one... ^_^

animated sunset, great for a visual screensaver but will suck the battery so fast, lol.

?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arifhanid:
It would be cool to have the red scanner light on the front of the Knight Rider car.

Added sound effect would be great also !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
hmmmm... I only saw the first episode of the new series, and since the android boot is pretty much like the one from the old series, i guess you are refering to the new one, that has 2 lights, right?

Can anyone post the sound here?

off-topic: I still think the new car would look much cooler with a electric-blue light.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arifhanid:
I've attached the scanner sound (not sure if it's from the new car or the old one)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
This is not the final version, just a mid-test...

Let me know if these sounds are ok...

Specially the candle one... If this is disrespectful, I can use the alternative attached sound, or something else...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stevevegas:
LED light?

Hey TWOLF,

How about adding a LED Light Keychain or Laser Pointer? Like these (or much better, please) , but with blue, red, white or green LED ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stevevegas:
Or a Ceiling Fan with lights and spinning blades? Clicking on screen makes lights brighter or different color, blades spin faster/slower?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] churka:
This application rocks and is going to rock even more with more fun widgets on the fun.

I love showing this off to my friends.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dschoenike:
Very cool app!! Works great on my sprint mogul. Thanks for this and all your efforts. Definitely spreading the word on this.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Giannis86:
thats from the old one. they barely sound different though. the new one has a more 3d kind of effect into it:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
So you are talking about a round orb with a light, like this (without the dots):

...not sure it would add much into the app. :/

Animation is pretty slow in our devices... Wouldnt be as good. :(

I just finished a test for the "Eye of Sauron" and the fire is slooooooow:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hbenz2008:
The one posted in the first post works out of the box on HTC Pro, thank you sir.

Will be cool to have the Gsensor integrated with the zippo, to give it an effect as if the wind is blowing....Good job.

The one prob I have is that if I live the lighter on too long, it burns my fingers...lol....ex smoker here....thank God, going on 3 years....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
lol, you need the religious candle then, get it on post #91
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ingerasu:
it's amazing application :D but i have problem with activesync :(

can u share .cab file, twolf? :) thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Its not an installer, just a exe you can copy to device and run.

;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Did another mid-version, just with a little more and some bug fixes.

Im getting near the final version, so if someone has any more ideias or changes, this would be the time... :D

- Added the firefly and evil eyes

- The candle is thicker (by request)

- Fixed some icon bugs

- Im still not sure what to do for the final 2 areas...

I searched a little more for air texting: http://everything2.com/e2node/airtexting

... but found very little info on the subject. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] furb3t:
Very very cool application....now i'll have to be a Jedi :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ingerasu:
it works, great..thanks ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PauloJ5:
Hi. I tried your app on the LG KS20. Unfortunately it cannot control the backlight (settings remain the same before and after). Everything else works except that it wont quit.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Thats problably because of two different things:

- You have flash lite 3, so it doesnt quit the normal way... you can press enter to show the system X button, but there isnt much I can do about this for now.

- Your system's registry is different than mine, and I dont know your reg settings, if you can send them to me I can do a special version, see the first two pages about that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w04g005:
Hey twolf,

great app. I have another suggestion:

A LED TICKER. For the iphone something exists:

http://video.google.de/videosearch?q=iphone+ticker&emb=0&aq=f#q=iphone led ticker&emb=0

greetings
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
hmmmm, you just humbled my already low programming skills, lol... :D

I have no ideia how to do that... Maybe with a mask, but would still look bad.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JudgeDredd67:
That would be very cool.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arifhanid:
What would be very cool is to incorporate the use of the g-sensor in this application.

I think twolf needs the registry values to do this. Does anyone have any idea what they are and how it can be done?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iDoktor:
Cool!thank you :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PauloJ5:
Twolf, here is my registry.

Do you know if it would be possible to have a button to turn on the camera flash ? That would be very cool. None of the other torch apps around work on the LG and I cannot program :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Giannis86:
loving that led ticker idea!

i also have one of my own

it would be fun to have a bike led simulator..where i live people get fined for not having lights often...(they got me once too)

sometimes you just forget the lights at home..

so maybe we could have a front light simulator and when you click on it it could become the rear red light? (so when you get past those cops use the red one so that it seems that you have a rear light too xD)

not exacly the best way to avoid a fine but if you forgot the lights its beter to try it than pay they bill lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
The camera regs you sent dont tell me how the flash works, only that it exists... :/

I'll need more info for that, but isnt NUELIGHT3 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=456908 ) better for you?

Anyway, this attached test version should fix your backlight problem. :)

Try this attached version, remember to swipe your finger across the screen, dont just click it. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PauloJ5:
Twolf I really appreciate your help, but the new file didnt fix it. Nuelight doesn't work at all on my device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Thats the problem with writting code that I cant really test on my device. :(

I wrote a simple code to see if that regkey exists on our systems:

fscommand("ReadRegistryValue", "\"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\", \"ControlPanel\\\\Backlight\", \"BatteryBrightness\", _root.VARIAVEL_BatteryBrightness" );

Then, if it exists, it tells it to go to he maximum, that I hope is "10"... but I've seen a case here where the maximum was "4" and for some reason it didnt accept my code, even if I made it go to "4" as well....

if (_root.VARIAVEL_BatteryBrightness != undefined) {
fscommand("WriteRegistryValue", "\"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\", \"ControlPanel\\\\BackLight\", \"BatteryBrightness\", \"DWORD\", 10");
}

This means that if that value doesnt exist, nothing is added. But if it does, it becames a 10.

So could you make it have the maximum bright on the settings and then re-check you registry's BatteryBrightness code?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PauloJ5:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Was that a bad copy/paste or that isnt the right place on the registry? Because it looks exacly the same....

I can make it 20, instead of 10, but if thats not the right place it will still do nothing. :/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PauloJ5:
OK I did this again think I may have changed the backlight a different way (using SPB). So did it with the system tool.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w04g005:
Hey twolf is it possible to use "normal" Flash code? I found some Flash programs for LED Ticker!

ActionScript-Quelltext

ticker_txt = new LoadVars();

ticker_txt.load("ticker.txt");

ticker.txt.onData = function(){

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

ticker_txt = ticker_txt.slice(1, ticker_txt.length) + ticker_txt.slice(0, 1);

//ticker_output is nachher das txt_feld

this.ticker_output = ticker_txt;

}

}

If it is possible you can add a special font:

http://de.fontriver.com/font/texas_led/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Not sure, Ill have to test it, but that can be more complicated than that, it needs to be a certain speed, or it will go too slow on flash, Ill need to embebeb the font, and that will make it heavier to open and also it will be better with a small keyboard for us to write what we want. all in all, maybe too complicated for a simple flashlight tool...

Try this with "20".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hbenz2008:
Yo Twolf, you solved my prob with the finger burning lighter, now can you do a zippo instead of that cheap a s s lighter,lol btw, now the candle is dripping on my TP..HELP. Gr8 job man
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobzero:
Cool app!

Couple problems:

Using an HTC Vogue, WM6.1 20931, the screen does not goto full brightness when i click the flashlight. also the program will not exit using the flash menu.

Idea

Hi Twolf

If you're still looking for ideas, what about an electrocardiogram monitor screen "showing and amplifying" the heartbeat of our (girl)friend.It will be a good way to show them they have no heart at all :eek::D, or a funny icebreaker...

Keep up with your great skills

Tito
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cbasualdo:
Hi Twolf, and thanks for your aplication. It rocks !!!!

As far as I saw, it doesn't appear under programs, so I can't creat a quicklunch or put it under the start menu. Is there any way to do this?

I don't mean you to modify your app. Just asking how can it be done for any program.

Cheers :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Flash light is an exe, no installation needed, put it where you like and create a shortcut

Good luck
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Hmmmm, like a heart "light"... Its a good ideia, but I was hopping for something with a little more day-to-day use. :/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egzthunder1:
Hey twolf!

You've outdone yourself one more time. Congrats!

I have a question though, what would be the parameter to open the program with the light saber directly? The reason I am asking is because I set the down-up swipe from FTouchFlo to this program, and I thought it would be cool if it would start up with the light saber instead of the flashlight. Thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Hmmmm, that can be done, but i didnt wanted to set up a new config setting to make it jump to the area X, mainly because the basic idea is just to be a simple flashlight with some laughs around it.

So youll just give you a special exe with the lightsaber on front (this is still not the final version). ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egzthunder1:
Thanks! That was ungodly quick! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] churka:
Put it under /Windows/Start Menu/Programs

Sure thing, just give me the regkeys.

You problably dont have flash 7.

I love your idea but, I have an idea of a tool that will turn ur phone in a disco light when u are in call mode ... To keep the original incall display and put 2 stripes in right and left part of the display that when you are talking at the phone... thos 2 coloured stripes blink and change colours and reflect light on ur face in night or at the disco (cool huh? ).

This is very nice. When I started the lighter in the dark, my kids tried to blow it out. But how can this be run whithout having white bars before and after the lighter? Resolution is wvga, 800x480.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Only when a developers makes a tool with those specifications.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikeeey:
I'm assuming the original file was a .swf that you compiled into a .exe? Is there a way we can do this with other flash movies/games and it uses flash 3.1 to run?

------

btw, we had a powerout at school, all the iphone/itouch kids were using their apps to light the way, I was able to do the same, I even had a lightsaber duel with one of them lol. And let me just say, your lightsaber is awesome! The iphone lightsaber you cant even tell what it is, cause the entire screen is just 2 colors.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Nice, hehehe...

Thats the problem, there hasnt been anything new since flash 7 to do these "swf to exe" launchers. So its very outdated...

The "exit" command, for example, is the same for flash lite 2, 3 and flash 7, but its not working in some devices with flash lite 3, that must be a specific flash lite 3 bug, since the final oficial version hasnt come out yet.

But yes, you can do the swf to exe conversion with flash 3, just wont be able to see it on most phones (that cant have flash lite 3 for now)...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rling:
Cute gadget. Given the rapidly growing file size, is it possible to request a custom version, say with just the lightsabre in blue (I don't like the Dark side) and the lighter only to keep filesize down. Will cook it into my next ROM.

Come to think of it, a candle stick would be better than lighter for my little one.

Edit - Same bug with inability to exit cleanly. Using Flash Lite 3.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
I can easily make a customized version for a rom, no problem... but flash lite 3, that will be a problem... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fbifbi:
Hello Twolf!

That's a very nice and useful app man :)

Like many here, I have problems with max backlight on app launch, is there a chance for a customized version for Nike1000? If so, I'm attaching the reg keys you had mentioned in the first post :)

best regards

efbiaye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
But....but....but.... I have a Nike1000... Its working fine. :O

I dont get it... could you change the light to the maximum and then export the regkeys again?

I.... really dont get it. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fbifbi:
Woa, strange indeed Twolf.

Maybe different system version has different keys?

I'm using WM6.1 5.2.21109 (build 21109).

Anyway I'm attaching now the regkeys again - both sets are inside the zip.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Those are indeed strange values, 0000000a instead of 00000010.

I also see sensor regkeys, but the nike doesnt have any sensors... :/

What rom/language are you using?

I'm on the excelent Black clean v1 rom (from animelover) here. WM6.1 5.2.20275 (build 20275.1.3.3) WWE.

Its a little older, but so fast and roomy... ^_^ (he aso has v2.1 and 3 that are pretty good, but the latest wm6.1 upgrade has a couple of bugs on some software I use daily, making it crash).

I can make an alternative version of just read some of the values in your registry that I dont see elsewhere and make an IF command from there.

I just need one good deia to wrap this up, since i filled (nearly) all the menu space already.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fbifbi:
I use Gullum's latest ROM, WWE:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=472343

It's my first ROM for this device, I instantly reflashed the device as soon as I got it. The interesting fact is (at least for me) that when I take the device out of the case it activates itself - just as some devices with light sensor.

Don't know if that's normal behaviour though, as I don'tt have any previous experience with this model.

Twolf, do you think it would be possible to define manually the needed variables, and their range value in an external .txt file, that could be placed in the same folder as the .exe?

Your flash app could import the variables and value range on launch then.

Then your great piece of software could be easily adjusted by users by them self specifically for their device :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlappyHours:
Cool app :) Thanks !

Bug: The max brightness does not work on my HTC Touch 3G (Jade) :( .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Thats a great idea! :D

I can create a registry variable, its easier to find than a txt file, and I can even add a field on the menu to edit it easily... :)

The quote above will fix your problem... :)

I'll release the final version with this new feature this week.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fbifbi:
Great :D hope it's gonna work fine :)

I just read again your post regarding the registry differences.

I think that one more thing may be neccessery - a way to indicate if the register values are hex or decimal. As you had noticed, though we have the same device the values are stored differently.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Yes, it will be similar to the menu I did for the w3d.

I think I can create the variable that, if its not a number (has letters) then it will be always decimal. Or Ill simply leave that as a option too. Even though many ppl wont know the difference and can mess it up.. :/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
I think this version has serious bugs, thats why I'd aprecciated if someone with a hexadecimal regkey value could test it before I add it on the first post:

I could also add a special area for ppl with a very different regkey name to add their own.

Flash lite 3.1 users, however, will have to wait for its final official version, because it has the exit command working, the current version out there cant be the final one.

Still, the ENTER button starts the exit procedure and shows the real X button to close the app, not very user-friendly I know, but your flash lite 3 isnt the final one... So you should expect bugs... :(

Maximum value, sorry I thought I said that... :/

The keyword's name or path I'll only implement if someone out there has a different value.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fbifbi:
OK, tested in in Niki and Dell Axim - unfortunately it doesn't work.

No matter what I did try to type in - the backlite level seems to stay the same :|

Hmm could this be the fault of flash lite 3.1?
