I've tried several torch apps and I am currently using the tiny flashlight with the widget. On the incredible all of the torch apps worked well and the widgets worked instantaneously. On my X2 I've had several of the apps cause reboots and while the tiny flashlight widget works it takes about 5 seconds to kick in. Any recommendatins on apps or settings would be much appreciated. I'm rooted, supercharged, and I've frozen the bloat. I had theses issues before root and on every x2 I've used (7 of them).
Tiny flashlight has been updated to address the X2 problems. Thanks to member juhde for letting us know about the update. I can finally rest easy again.

That was my first choice and I had issues with it before I went looking for a new one. I actually haven't tried since I did all of the recent tweaks. Does it work without any lag on your x2?
tesla locked up upon first use & quit responding, but now works, but lags like the other I tried
I just open the Camcorder app and turn the light to on. It works flawlessly.

Yeah, that works, but its not very convenient or fast. I live in the sticks and its pitch black at night out here. Its nice being able to unlock and hit a button to get a light quickly when you here something crashing through the woods. Prob just have to wait for ginger or cm7 to fix the problem.

No luck. Runs about the same as the rest. Doesn't see my root for the high brightness either. Wonder what's up with that. Sticking with the Motorola one for now.

Well I don't even use the camcorder, so I just keep the light setting to on all the time. Then I keep the shortcut on my main homescreen, so all I gotta do is click it, and bam, glorious light. (I also live in the sticks..)

hmm, still a bit slow for me, I like that Tesla has a toggle switch widget, much more convenient.

You can get swype currently from their site, if you miss swipe, has a couple bugs on TB but works fairly well.

Im still using swype but it bugs me that I have to use handscent to get the auto caps and auto spacing to work for texting.
Maybe htc purposely built their messaging app this way so people wouldnt want swype and would look for an alternative?
HTC phones are also the only phones you need to switch swype off then reselect it to get it to work after a reboot.
FlexT9 works perfect in the mean time. Seems to do the same stuff, but FlexT9 has handwriting recognition + swype + voice input + QWERTY + Compact QWERTY.

Hi folks, I got a Razr yesterday and am now trying to find an app that lets me use the camera LED as a flashlight. All the apps I've tried simply don't switch it on, however they worked fine on the SGSII.
Anyone who would be so kind to point me to a working application for this?
Thank you

Brightest Flashlight Free is nice. You can use the LED, screen, or both. Can set a timer and it has a sweet startup/shutdown sound(you can disable). Works great on my Razr.

What are you doing differently? Both of these apps work on the stock razr rom. Are you using the Verizon Droid Razr or the Motorola Razr? Are you on any of the GSM version roms or have you done anything drastic to your setup? What happens when you try to use them? I'm on the Verizon Razr & Motorola Droid Light works perfectly for me.

I started using an app called flashlight LED genius and there is an option that allows you to shake the phone while at the lock screen to enable the flashlight. Then to turn off you simply shake again, you can set sensitivity settings and duration in case it gets turned on accidentally. I have had no issues with it accidentally turning on as of yet. Works surprisingly well.
Wow thanks for that app. useful

Shake on lockscreen option works fine for a while, then stops. Problem is noted in the app description in the Play Store but no ETA on a fix is mentioned. Too bad, when it works it's nice.
Anyone know of another flashlight app that can be reliably activated from the lock screen?

Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.

Just flashed the Badseed Tranquil ROM last night and noticed today that when I'm in landscape there is an empty space on the right of the keyboard. I can see through to the app behind the keyboard. Is that supposed to be like that or is there a way to fix it? Also I'm getting some reasonable lag while I'm using the keyboard that I didn't get before. Any help would be great.

My stock messaging and stock browser are fine but gosms and xda and chrome have the empty space by the keyboard. Really disappointing cuz I absolutely love the Rom otherwise. Blue is my favorite color and especially that color blue lol. My case and even my car is that shade blue hahaha.

This is a Kernel issue , I suggest BeastMode 5.9 , and you set the options you want in aroma . If you want to change things on the fly feel free to try another kernel , CP's kernel for example .
