About Flanex - Flashlight for Nexus APK
Table Of Contents
Description
This application uses the LED of the camera at the back of the phone as a flashlight.Flanex is simple, but beautiful. Overview:
-Keep the LED on when switching the application or locking the screen.
-Create a notification for fast off-switching of the LED when not in the application itself.
-Turn on the LED on application start to save even more time.
-It is fast. You do not have to wait for multiple seconds to start the LED flash.
-Resizable Widget: Turn on the LED right from your homescreen
-Put the widget on your lockscreen (Android 4.2 only)
-Customizable widget to make it look like a standard app shortcut in order to integrate it nicer with other app shortcuts on your homescreen(*) [DOES NOT WORK ON THE NEXUS 5]
-Shortcut to quickly toggle the LED without opening the main application
-Customizable widget text size (Android 4.1.2+ only)
The standard size of the widget is 1x1. However, it can be resized to any size you like. Just tap and hold the widget and resize afterwards.
(*) Supported launchers are: Default launcher (AOSP), Nova Launcher, Nova Launcher HD, Holo Launcher, Holo Launcher HD, Apex Launcher.
However, in landscape, text below the customized widget is only supported on Nova Launcher, because the others mess up the layout in landscape.
Note: If you use the "Mimic launcher shortcut" option, the widget icon will not resize, if you enlarge the widget. Only use this option if you intent to use the widget as 1x1.
[Permissions]
-Camera - take pictures and videos: Needed to start the camera and turn on the led. Controlling the led is not possible without access to the camera. There are no pictures taken and they could not be uploaded, because there is no permission request to access the internet.
-Prevent phone from sleeping: This is needed to prevent some devices (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S3) from turning off the LED automatically when turning off the screen.

The app was previously known as 'Nexus Flashlight'. The name had to be changed to obey Play Store policies.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
2 ★unreliable on nexus 5 android version 4.4.4. have to press widget three times to get it to turn on initially. other apps do it instantly the first time.
5 ★Tiny file size, does exactly as it should. Also, works perfectly with my Galaxy Note 3 running KitKat 4.4.3. Can't understand why other "flashlight" apps need to be such huge files...could it be lazy code?
5 ★I have tried quite a few torch apps. but they all seem to be overly complicated. This works really well for me as all I want is a simple and effective light. The widget works well too.
5 ★Good, no nonsense, completely unobtrusive flashlight app that delivers what it promises. Not exactly feature rich, but when it comes to flashlights, your options are somewhat limited. The widget can be quirky; odd rotation bugs, and occasionally, the flashlight will switch on and off independent of the timer function. I feel as though my money has been well spent on a terrific app (not ads) and my privacy is being respected. Worth the money. *works with my HTC One*
5 ★It used to be absolutely great but since the last update it doesn't work properly and causes incredible battery drain even when switched off. Uninstalled.
3 ★App used to be good but recently it has really annoying behavior of turning light off whenever orientation of phone changes. So if you're walking with the light on it will often turn off if you're not holding it exactly right. So, rotation bug not fixed on nexus 4.
5 ★Beats the crap out of any app out there. Because it "just works", no bells and whistles or useless crap. Oh yeah and it works on Highscreen Boost (Innos D9)
4 ★Htc one m7, doesn't work with locked screen, otherwise works fine (didn't test widgets). Very much dislike the icon, it could be anything.
1 ★Unable to turn off LED since move to Android 7. Sometimes turns off by itself. Great app, but needs an update.
5 ★This app works with many more devices than Nexus. It probably works with every device that has a camera flash. However, Nexus Flashlight is still a fitting name. Nexus devices aren't loaded with bloatware or gimmicks, unlike most flagship phones today. This app doesn't have a strobe, it doesn't let you send morse code messages, it's just a flashlight, which is exactly how it should be.
4 ★But the latest update introduced a widget bug - doesn't work upon first press. But it's small and non-intrusive, so thanks for that :)
3 ★Okay but the widget never works first time
