Can you use the flash from the camera as a flashlight?

Just wondering if you can use the flash when not taking pictures?

That functionality is not built in by default. But I believe I saw an app yesterday specifically for the Droid that can accomplish this.

That's the great thing about Android. It's all possible.

What was the name of that app. I have been looking but cant find it.

DroidLight

Edit: I'm still waiting for my Droid so let me know how it works. =)

Just tried to find it. No go.

 

[Russell]

Hrm thats odd. I don't know why it would be there but not on the Market? That sucks.

Doesn't appear in market, when using QR code it says not found. No search finds it either.

I wonder if it was removed? I would expect more to show up soon.

Will you guys look to see if mobile banking not for Bank of America is in there? v4?

There is one called flashlight and another called color flashlight

 

[mrredskin]

pope, those use the LCD and not the flash from the camera. still, it helps when walking around the house at night or in other situations. even came with a strobe feature :icon_ banana:

 

[pope66682]

U r correct. My bad. Read the question too quick

 

[akj27]

Bump. Perhaps someone else might know.

Also, since I'm here. What's that app lets you know when you get messages or calls? Like it appears on the screen.

Thanks

As far as the flashlight, I'm doing the best I can to get an application developed for that purpose. That's my first priority. Sad, right? It's totally necessary though!

As for the text message popping up, try SMS Popup.
