You can install the app itself, but the LED will NOT light up unless you install the DBUS service jar running as root from a command line!
The IPK is therefore useless! Do not even bother with it, as it will do absolutely nothing.
Note: All the "type:" instructions below mean to type everything as seen between the quotes, not including the quotes, then hit enter.
Again; here are the working instructions:
1. ROOT your Pre. pre dev wiki: Enable Root Access
2. Login to your Pre using your favorite terminal.
3. Make sure you are running as root (type: "su -")
4. cd to root (type: "cd /")
5. Make sure the filesystem is RW (type: "rootfs_open -t")
6. Get the flashlight tar. (type: "wget http://lunaware.com/flashlight.tar")
7. Untar it. (type: "tar -xvf flashlight.tar")
8. now reboot and logout. (type: "reboot", then "exit", then "exit")
When your Pre comes back up, the flashlight should work if you have done everything correctly.
Dude I just have to say thank you! I initially downloaded the original flashlight tool and tried to install it using the directions within the download but to much frustration I wasn’t getting it. Then I came across your post and BOOM got it launched it in 5min! Many thanks! By the way if you have a simple process for changing the themes on phone PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Again thanks!AGAIN: To be Clear; There is NO CURRENT WAY to get this app to work correctly without rooting!

Very nice app!
I was wondering if there any videos out there that provide a step-by-step guide on how to root your Pre. I know there are written instructions, but I'm more of a visual learner. Thanks
Please use the popular Wiki for instructions. They have a YouTube video, but line by line is honestly the best way, coming from a fellow 'visual learner.'

I can't get this to work. Getting this error -
root@castle:/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services# /usr/bin/luna-helper 'luna://com.palm.vm/launch' '{"serviceName":"com.pregam
e.prelease.service","className":"com.pregame.Prelease"}'
** Message: _response: got response {"errorCode":"ErrorGenericServiceNotFound", "errorText":"Service Not Found"}
EDIT - It does work after rebooting though.

any plans to add a morse code feature where you can input a message and it'll send it to the LED?
Awesome work on the flashlight. I use it to get around at night (my knees thank you from bashing them against the bed corner) and also a penlight at work at times. Works great!

My buddy is making an app that will do this same thing, but it will be for text/email notifications, it will light up the screen and or the LED button.
Right on!!! This is probably going to be the most used app on my pre, well maybe besides sudoku (i get really bored at work) but thank you!!!
I'm new so what exactly does this do??
