My Flashlight

PreGame · 06/19/2009, 08:26 PM

The flashlight application has been COMPLETELY rewritten. It no longer needs .sh files and is now compatable with 1.3.5

I will be adding many new features but I just wanted to get a fix for the 1.3.5 issue out. Stay tuned for many new updates.

The new version can be downloaded via Preware or WebOS Quick Installer.

Does it actually turn on the flash or just present a white page?

PreGame · 06/19/2009, 08:42 PM

Do you see a white page? :P

That's awesome, you should post the code you used on the wiki or here for the rest of us to enjoy.

Elysian893 · 06/19/2009, 08:50 PM

Seriously, post this up!

Mustang46L · 06/19/2009, 10:49 PM

It would be AWESOME if you posted up some files and instructions on the Wiki.

Awesome! The first functional homebrew app!

I am sure He installed the "web shell" application and then called the bash shell script from his web page AJAX call. It's not a native Mojo call.... Or prove me wrong.

I broke it trying to take a different approach. I will post it on the wiki once I get it working.

You should pull in the accelerometer and use a shake to turn it on and a shake to turn it off. I know somewhat Apple like, but I still think it would be cool.
On another note, your signal strength is about the same as mine at home...

huskrfj · 06/20/2009, 04:08 PM

you should actually post a pic of the flashlight, or a video or somethin! Then hook up with this thread and get it out there!

I did practically the exact same thing! I even started off with the devmode switcher app. What did you use to interface the linux call with js?

PreGame · 06/20/2009, 09:32 PM

Well I created my own service which executes the .sh scripts that turns the light on and off however I am currently working on getting rid of the shell scripts and just using the application and my system-service i created

PreGame · 06/20/2009, 09:43 PM

I have the app ready to be released but i have no where to host it.

PreGame · 06/20/2009, 10:00 PM

I don't know how to make an installer so i will have to create a readme for people to follow on installing it. This is only a beginner version as I wanted to release something for people to use. I am currently working on making it work without shell scripts but am having a problem wit hthe commands. I have to head out for a bit but will create a readme when I get back tonight and will zip up the files and put them in my original post.
