Lockscreen flashlight (torch) as on MIUI - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking for a modification or an app that causes the LED to light up when in locksreen, as on MIUI. I don't know who came up with this feature on MIUI but its great and to my surprise I didn't found any apps that can do that.
How it works on MIUI?
The phone is in a locked state. You press home button for 0.5 - 1.0 seconds and the flashlight/torch is activated. After holding it for about 5 seconds, the phone vibrates and the flashlight goes into permanent ON state so you can release holding the home button. At any time, if you press home button again, the flashlight/torch is OFF.
How it works on Stock / Neat ROM / possibly everywhere else?
It doesn't.
Is there a way to get this MIUI feature everywhere?
Please, answer.

CM7 problems...

Okay here are my phone's specs:
Model number - SGH-T959
Android version - 2.3.5
Baseband version - T959UVKA7

Here's when the problem started then I'll explain it.
I was trying to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751031
But when I did it said something about CM 3.0 doesn't support a certain kind of script so it aborted.
My problems:
When I turn on my phone it says that the Wi-Fi calling has stopped
I had it set so my phone would vibrate when I press the home bar buttons.
Every time I try to run the Wi-Fi calling ,it stops.
I have it set so when ever I press a button on the on-screen keyboard it should vibrate but it doesn't.
Thanks in advance.
If you need logs then I can get them, just need to tell me where they are.
EDIT - Also, the LEDs on my phone never blink, not when I have an email or text message, nor when I charge my phone. Is this just a limitation with CM7? Or how do I fix it?
Also, I realize that CM7 drains batteries pretty quickly, if you have a suggestion for an easy to install ROM/Kernel that is great at saving batteries, but keeps ADW, and most of the customization options available in CM7, do share.
Thanks again.
Also it seems that my phone is stuck charging at 57%
It's been there for a few hours now.
UPDATE -
I have it now so that the phone vibrates when I press a button with the on screen keyboard
It is charging past 57%
The home bar buttons still do not vibrate even though I have it set so they do.
UPDATE -
The video recording is very choppy. I took a video yesterday and it wasn't this choppy.
Umm so I'm guessing, nobody can help me?

[ROM][Official]CyanogenMod7 RC Out!

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=cooper
Go Download and Report Bugs Over Here
code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
I just flashed RC released today, set up S2E, restored all my applications.
As people complained, Torch still doesn't work.
Now, Does anyone have the problem with Power Button? When my phone is on and I press power button, I'm forwarded to HOME.[/b] No doubt, when my screen is off I can turn it on through Power Button. But, its TURN OFF functionality doesn't work. I also couldn't find some sort of option to change this feature in Cyanogenmod Settings either.
PS: Problem solved with Power Button's behavior. I solved it by Spare parts option of customising End Button's Behavior.
I was tempted to flash RC but did not proceed after reading that bugs on Nightly release are still there.

it's better than tapping it every 30s yes but do you think you want to tap the phone every 10mn while driving in a distance of 500km or more?
Yes Im using power saving mode.
---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------
I found the solution I guess.
It's under Settings | Developer Options | Stay Awake.
This allow the screen not to turn off while the phone is charged in the car. This is I guess the best solution, I did not find an other. Unless someone would like to use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5sLnN5bnRheGEuY2FmZmVpbmUiXQ

Sounds like it would work! And you're right I would not want to be tapping the screen every 10mins or so!

[Q] post 4.3 update issues

Like most people I updated to the 4.3 and the new base band through the sony pc companion and everything was great for the first week, but then the red flags started to go off and here is the list:
- My games and apps that were working fine would not open even sonys stock apps. Tried re starting the phone and it would still not let me use them.
- draw back issues on the lock screen (5sec) and home screen wallpaper (10 sec) plus it auto reverted back to an older wall paper.
- when I connect it to my dock the lock screen does not auto rotate to landscape mode.
I have gone back to factory reset but issue number 2-3 still persist. Can any one help me either solve these issues or tell me the best way to downgrade to the 4.2 stock firmware.

Do a repair via the Sony PC companion for windows or sony bridge for mac. It may help.
My issue is the dialer. If I answer or call someone, the screen goes black.

Do you use front screen protector? maybe you need to replace it with the better one (clear) or use screen protector that has a hole to make the proximity sensor side not covered.

That happened to me too after updating to 4.3. A reboot fixed it temporarily, but i haven't had any issues after i did a full wipe.

- Bluetooh Share Force Closing when Bluetooth is turned off (Not always)
- Launcher redraw is a bit common with 4.3 but loading it back doesn't take too much time due to fast hardware so no big complaint
- Sketch and Note app should be able to be placed at landscape mode. But it's a minor issue.
- Superior Auto Mode.. Man, i do really wish that they just need to reduce the ISO and then voila the result will be a lot better! Tested in Manual Mode and it is confirmed that ISO bigger than 400 will destroy the picture quality, lot of smudges and artifact everywhere!

after a lot of flashing and tweaking (not twerking), the current situation is:
+ Normal heat, battery still drain like hell, Android OS takes up to 70%

[Q] S3 takes a break before going to sleep (GT-I9300)

Hello. I can't find anything about this problem. I want you to help me.
Everytime I press the power button to go to sleep my s3 takes one second break and then the screen goes off. What is the problem?
Some information:
CyanogenMod 11 (SNAPSHOT M12);
GT-I9300;
Stock kernel;
No changes to CPU.

I mean, that if I want my phone to go to sleep it takes a second (screen stays on for a second) and then he sleeps. No matter if I press the power button or double tap the status bar.

Please check the Settings.
Example: If S-Voice by Double HOme Button is activated, going to the Home Screen has also a short delay.

I'm not on stock android. That's why I wrote the information.
So ask your rom chef for help

It is a small issue caused by the HWComposer and is fixed in PAC rom. The issue is based on a commit that the Cyanogen guys maybe forgot to include in the buildbot's config. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-pac-nightlies-t2668572 .
