Hammerhead Torch
A simple torch app, originally written for the LG Nexus 5 (codename "hammerhead") port of Sailfish OS. Uses GStreamer by default, with hardware specific workarounds for some other ported devices.
Now supports:
- Nexus 5 ("hammerhead")
- Jolla phone
- Fairphone 2
- Motorola Photon Q
- Motorola Moto-G (2013)
Hardware specific workarounds for devices where gstreamer is not fully supported can be added easily for any other phone with a simple control file that turns the LED on depending on its content (i.e. 1 for on, 0 for off) - get in touch if you would like me to add support for your device!

ah, didn't know :) I thought that the system can use all standard apis. You use hammerhead? I thought myself of buying it, but am not sure. Does it work good with SFOS? Do you think you could write me a little about usability?

I assumed so too, libhybris is supposed to do all the hardware abstraction, right? I don't know if it's just an imperfect port, or if it's due to some other reason, but the flashlight app in the store doesn't work (and it's closed source too, so I can't pick it apart).
I don't have a hammerhead yet, mine is on the way (I ordered one of the £110 ones from China on ebay so it could take a while). It seems like it's well supported, certainly one of the best:

The flashlight not working was one of the things that was "broken" so I decided my first Sailfish app should be an attempt at fixing it!
That thread is the best place to look for information, there's loads of good information in there :)
