Flashlight Application for Android Powered HTC Smartphones

Having a flashlight on your device is becoming a necessity for just about all smartphone owners. A member of the XDA Devalopers team - JaydenR extracted the application from Android 2.2 build on the HTC Desire. This application does not need root access to use, so you simply need to install it.

This is the Flashlight apk from the 2.2 Froyo Desire rom. No root is needed and it uses the screen instead of the camera led’s.
Still it’s pretty sweet and looks awesome.
