Blaze for AndroidAdd an external flashlight and mute switch to your phone! |
 |
Blaze listens in the background for the volume buttons to be pressed while your phone is locked. No more pawing around with the touchscreen to quickly get the light or make sure your phone doesn't beep during a meeting.
View Blaze in the Android Marketplace or check out the handy demo video on YouTube.
Current version: 1.01 (Mar 9 2011)
Requirements
Blaze requires Android 2.2 (aka "Froyo") and a rooted device. Sorry, can't listen to those buttons in the background without root!Torch
Double-tap the "volume up" button on your phone while it is locked and the torch comes on. Optionally, you can tap volume up once and then hold it to turn the light on. When you release the button, the light will turn off.Mute/audible
Double-tap the "volume down" button to toggle the mute status of your phone. This is the same effect as swiping the audible/silent icon on a no-password lock screen.When you mute the phone, it vibrates twice to confirm the action. Incoming calls and notifications will be silent and vibrate according to your Sound preferences.
When the phone is put back to audible, it will vibrate, play a volume beep, or your default notification according to how you set the preferences in Blaze.
