[APP][ROOT] kz Torch - Brightness adjustable torch - G4 Themes and Apps

Hello everyone. Just as I was looking to find a way to make flashlight icon in quick toggles to work on Lineage OS 15.1, I found out a way that we can adjust the brightness of flashlight.
It is easy to use. Not complex. Just a seekbar which you can set the level of brightness with and that's all. kz Torch won't be listed in app drawer of launcher. You need to hold down the torch icon in quick toggles in order to go to its settings.
You can find the sourcecode on GitHub. See below for more project information.
I think that's all what I need to say. Go download it from Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.berkantkz.kztorch

it wont need root access if in init i set the files permissions to 777. what do you think ?
Since i cant find the fix for torch , until we fix it, do you like my idea ?
Remove root access and me change file permissions ?
Code:
chmod 0777 /sys/class/leds/led:flash_0/brightness
chmod 0777 /sys/class/leds/led:flash_1/brightness
chmod 0777 /sys/class/leds/flashlight_front/dual_brightness
chmod 0777 /sys/class/leds/led:torch_0/brightness
chmod 0777 /sys/class/leds/led:torch_1/brightness
chmod 0777 /sys/class/leds/red/brightness
chmod 0777 /sys/class/leds/blue/brightness
chmod 0777 /sys/class/leds/green/brightness
chmod 0777 /sys/class/leds/wled/brightness
chmod 0777 /sys/bus/platform/drivers/qcom,camera-flash/qcom,camera-flash.85/leds/torch-light0/brightness
chmod 0777 /sys/bus/platform/drivers/qcom,camera-flash/qcom,camera-flash.85/leds/torch-light1/brightness
These are all the leds. Wanna do it this way for now ?

Seems possible but I think it still will require root access for those who do not use your boot image.
In addition, only
Code:
blabla/leds:torch_1/brightness
will be okay since I only used it to write the settings. Never tried the others if they work ?

What others ?
It's LG g4 exclusive and I don't see any other development out there.
Me ThePiGuy and sfx we work together and we have a parallel equal development in our trees
Edit:
We have two LEDs on the back. You can improve this app more to use one of them or both
Also if you keep root , it will most likely work for other phones too.
But in our case , please make root not a must have. Let the app work without root and ask for root if it can't edit the file

I will test the other paths then ?
Yeah, I always appreciate your work. I wish I had enough space for LOS15.1 in order to work on the tree.
I guess root always will be must have. Yes, of course it can be unnecessary if the app can write the settings w/o having root access but otherwise, users would need to flash something in order to set permissions on boot up. Or they would need root access for first time in order to set permissions automatically right after boot up.

perfect ! so without root, and if it gives error for file access, ask for root.
Have fun and if you need anything related , don't hesitate to ask

Don't we only need to change the permissions for the rear led's - I'm assuming the red, green and blue ones are the notification led

The thing at the bottom is a light sensor for getting the best colour balance - the G4 only has one LED

Yes. Since I have switched my G4, I do not work to improve on this anymore.
Anyways, it works well as it is now.

Yes its working very well, i recently rooted my device and using it, thanks bro =) By the way i think its not relevant probably but i couldnt delete old torch symbol from that navigation menu ( its not working and im on LOS 15.1 with magisk ). Can it be relevant with this ?

Well, I have never tried to remove the original one, yet I cannot test since I do not own the device anymore. However, I don't think it can't be removed as the quick toggles layout can be customized. I do not think it might be due to my app as well.

Yes i forgot to tell that i couldnt delete from quick toggle layout. before i was customizing; deleting and adding but now i cant delete it from that layout. Whatever its not that important. Thanks again. =)
Edit: After reboot i managed it.

Wait, im o just dumb enough i cant install this? The google play doesnt have the button to open the app... So it just installs it but does nothing.
