Was using Green Power but until the dev the fices a glitch/conflict with No Lock it is unusable, it basically doesn't work when No Lock is active. Which No Lock I think is great for quickly firing up the screen, there are no buttons on the Atrix that will accidentally turn it on in your pocket (as the N1 was doing for example)!
(Btw, is anyone using UltimateJuice together with No Lock?)

Fellow Rezounders;
I am rooted, and running Stock GB.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious (or did something stupid). I've installed a few of the 'Flashlight' or 'Torch' application onto my Rezound (Nexus Torch, TeslaLED, etc). I do like using my phone as a flashlight in many situations.
However I've noticed that when the screen itself turns off (either by timing out, or manually), the flashlight turns off too. This is very bothersome as I then need to keep turning it back on and/or I accidentally keep hitting icons on my home page(s).
Now with my old D1 this didn't happen. I don't know if maybe I've installed something, or changed a setting that's causing this to happen, or if its a Rezound issue or not.
I could have sworn this didn't happen when I first got my phone (about two months ago), but since then I've wiped it twice (I had that silly reboot loop/4G issue until I learned to remove the back or change the connect to 4G on boot setting).
I would appreciate your thoughts/suggestions
Thanks in Advance;

tiny flashlight +LED
by Nikolay Ananiev works great for me
I use the stock flashlight app on Nils' Business ICS and it doesn't do that to me. Just tested Tesla and that works fine too.
Maybe you should try a wipe/reflash.

[APP] Stock HTC Flashlight App - fixed
I use that, but it behaves the same.

When I got my Rezound, the HTC Flashlight didn't exist for it.... so I looked and ended up using
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devuni.flashlight
When used as a widget, I use the round icon and if I click it the light goes on and I can turn the screen off and it will stay on.
I use it a lot, especially at night. Putting the phone into the dock at night can be hard in the dark, so it turn the light on, turn off the screen so I can hold it by the screen as I put it in the dock. turn the screen back on, and turn the light off. Note that i am using the widget, not the app itself which is a squarish looking icon with a round icon on it. if you use the app, it will turn off when you turn off the screen
It has other modes, but I don't use them. I kind of like it better than the HTC flashlight now as it is just on and off without it pulling the app up.
I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock to turn the screen off when I set the phone down. 1) to conserve power and 2) prevents me activating something as I pickup and set down the phone.
I am GB stock rooted S-Off, so I would think it would work for you.
This maybe what your looking for. It the HTC flashlight that works on the rezound.

I figured it Out (Kinda)
Thanks everyone for their help and advice on this minor (yet annoying) issue.
I'm not sure how exactly I fixed it but I did. I think I may have had a 'battery saving' program installed that was inhibiting the flashlight function when the screen was off.
I removed a few programs and checked my settings in the the one(s) I had left. I also tried tiny flashlight +LED (per RoryHe suggestion), and found it works perfectly.
I did find like most of you mentioned that it does turn off for a second when you turn the screen off, but then comes back on (much better than before). I can live with this, and I love the 'shake to turn on in Lock mode' that tiny flashlight has. . . except when I'm playing with my 2 1/2 yearold twin boys and the light randomly turns on. But it doesn't happen often.
Anyway, I'm all good, and thanks again for helping me resolve this issue.
What would I do with out my Rezouding Friends.

Hey
Since ics, multiple one touch lock screen widgets dont work properly. The led will flash and the it goes to the lock screen and times out with some, and with others it stays on a very low ambient type mode. Any one else? Any suggestions, i love one touch to lock the screen, damn first world problems

I just turned off the lock screen, hardly needed since there are only soft buttons on the front of the device, and it's unlikely the power button would be accidentally pressed in one's pocket. Then i used a cool app called screen off and lock, it even has crt effect.
I have been able to get around entering my lock pin number simply by waking up the device with the power button and pressing the X when using the face unlock method to get to the pin unlock screen then you just press around the section of the screen that has the time and it works every time! Can anyone else duplicate this? Everything on my phone is stock running the latest Verizon software.
Can't duplicate it.

It has happened many times before by mistake for example I would be pulling my phone out of my shirt pocket and my hand would be on the screen and I would notice that the phone would be unlocked. This morning it happened and I was able to recreate it several times in a row but now I can't seam to get it to happen again. The only difference is now it's not dark. (the sun is up) the face lock also detects the amount of light and sometimes says low light so maybe that has something to do with it since I've noticed this happening a lot when I take my phone out of my pocket.
I got all kinds of ways to bypass the lock on mine its weird..notification pulldown works to..or if you have the stock ticker going that unlocks it also
There are situations where I want to immediately lock my phone: e.g. I'm charging it at my desk and have to run away for a meeting or something. In that case I just want to lock it immediately and go. I don't want to put it to sleep because because it's not really locked in that mode. With my old "dumb" phone, I could just hold down one of the keys (* or #) and it would be locked. But I can't figure out how to do that with the Amaze. I found a one-touch option for turning wifi off/on and changing the sound profile but nothing for locking the screen.
I searched the manual and online but could only find how to customize the lock screen, not a one-touch solution. There must be one right?
I'm not running stock, but I thought there was an option have it lock immediately after it's put to sleep. The option is there in CM anyway.

Screen lock and off app. You can set it to lock on long press of the search button, or just add a shortcut to your home screen or Dock.

I was wondering if there was a way to do this. You wake up your phone, it's locked. You hold the sleep button and the phone goes straight to the home screen.
Or even better, you wake the phone up by holding the sleep button and the phone idles on the lock screen for a second and then jumps to the home screen (similar to iPhone's new fingerprint scanner, but without the scanner). Maybe the lock screen can have a fake pin lock to mislead people using my phone.
I've been waiting for this for years but I don't think anyone's developed it. Would there be a way I could do it with Tasker? Or maybe there's something on xda that I can download for it to work? I am rooted with a Note 3.
Also, if there are any other revolutionary new lockscreen's out there, let me know! I'm not into the whole typing a password to unlock because everyone sees the password anyway. Plus it's tedious. Any ideas?
