Triple Tap Power for Flashlight from Display Off

Post by usersean » 23 Feb 2018 01:00

Simple, from Display off - triple Tap Power button to toggle the flashlight on and off.

The root command at the end is not essential to the flow so can be used without root as well.

Thank you for sharing the flow.
I've tried on my unrooted phone. Triple tap for toggle ON flashlight is OK, but it is unstable when toggle OFF.

Unstable how? If the display is on when you start - you need to tap four times.

It is triple Tap when screen is OFF. Four tap if screen is on. You can modify the delay as well if it's unsuitable.

Ideally, use from screen off. That's why I put the root command in there, turns the display back off so I only have to triple Tap to turn the flashlight off again.

Hope that makes sense.

Oh, I see, thanks usersean for your explanation. Now I understand: as this flow is applied when screen is OFF, so if screen is ON we need to tap one more time to make screen OFF first before triple tap, so total will be four times.

Pretty much.

The trigger itself is the display turning on twice in quick succession (2 seconds to be precise). So tapping the power is purely to trigger that two times display on within the two second limit. One of the taps is turning the display back off in-between to let us get that second display on trigger quick enough. Hence, triple click. Kinda lol. Pretty basic and simple, but I use it several times a day. It's one of my most used flows, easily.

Hope it comes in handy.
