Description

BADD Flashlight is not the flashlight app you're looking for. I haven't updated the app in more than a year and there are much better flashlight options available. The Homebrew patches that turn your phone's LED into a flashlight are best, but the other "screen" flashlight apps are still better than mine. I hope to do one last update, but you shouldn't hold your breath.

In addition to the standard white screen, BADD Flashlight features a Red-Light Night Vision mode for astronomy enthusiasts, and others, who use red-light flashlights to protect their dark-adjusted eyes.

If you visit the Official Thread Forum, you'll find a solid red background to temporarily swap out with your current wallpaper to protect your night vision. This will eventually become part of the app.

I'm still hoping to tap into the brightness api to have BADD Flashlight automatically brighten and dim as you launch and close the app.

BADD Flashlight may be at the bottom of the webOS barrell, but that barrel will be well lit.

ISSUES: Menu and About dialog are too bright and may damage your night vision. Don't use them.

For a program that uses a blank screen and calls it an app, this is a very useful piece of coding.. I have already used this flash light many times, the convenient new option to - quickly change brightness levels is very helpful!

I would have had no clue what this was for, except my visiting cousin used her flashlight app on her HTC Pro while at my house. She used to always cart a flashlight when traveling. I thought this was the coolest thing. I mean, what can't these phones do? I can't wait to download your Badd Flashlight app....after I figure out how to start with Homebrew apps. The additional red light is WAY COOL too! Wow, this Pre is looking cooler and cooler, and I have already been getting excited after two days with it. It's my first smart phone...yippee. But, you developers ROCK! You're way to modest in your description above! THANK YOU Colonel Kernel!!!
