VJCandela - Turn you phone into a super bright torch!
This program is used to permit control of the flash light on the Universal family of HTC Phones, to allow it to be used as a torch etc.
Note: this may cause damage to your hardware over prolonged periods! I don't see why it should, but use at your own risk.
VJCandela can be used as a stand alone tool or through the command line.
Use the Flame icon to enable the torch. Press and hold to enable (with your fingers perhaps). Use the Lock icon to enable a lock. This will keep the torch on until you disable the Flame. Use the Display icon to disable the display to save power. Drag on the title bar to move the window.
Pressing a key on the keyboard will close VJCandela (for instance, if you have the display off).
Command Line Options
-on
Enable Torch
-off
Disable Torch
-hwkey
Use this mode when assigning to a hardware key button in Settings
-about

Use VJCandelaLite if you want no GUI. Just launch it using the same command lines or a hardware key.
This also has the additional command line, "-screen" to toggle the screen off when the torch is on (to sve battery).
VJCandela can be assigned to the Backlight Key on your Universal by creating the following key in your registry and copying the contents of a similar entry over: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftShellKeys40C8
Please note: The default shortcuts will only work on English language OS in the default install folder.
Please edit the shortcuts for non English versions.
This software is in constant development, with new features and device compatibility being added over time.
