About Flanex (P) APK
Table Of Contents
Description
This is the Donate version of Flanex. It has no additional features (yet), but it supports the development of both.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.
** If you encounter any issues, please send a message to my email address. **
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
5 ★Nexus 5: Such a useful app, I use it at least weekly. It can be quickly accessed from the lock screen (if you so choose). Although the free version is no different, I purchased this to support the developer. It has a strange bug — after restarting the phone, it does not work the first time you use it, but every time after that it works properly. EDIT: The strange bug seems to have been fixed.
5 ★Love the widget that works like a regular app icon, including the ability to put it in a folder. The only complain I have is that it takes a little long to turn the LED on after tapping the widget icon but it seems that it's a hardware or platform limitation. Nothing they can do. Thanks for this cool app.
5 ★So glad this app exists. Only needs permissions necessary for functioning. Got the free version and was so happy with it I decided to donate.
5 ★Great flashlight worth the money as all the free ones are full of hidden ads
5 ★I appreciate a developer who provides both free and donate options where both versions don't ask for any additional permissions or give ads! It has an option for auto shutoff timer (if you forget to turn it off). Also the app does not remain running in the bkgd as soon as you close it - even if you use the notification as the off switch. I just read an article about brightest flashlight lying to consumers about location gathering and wanted to find a better alternative.
5 ★Donated because the simplicity and speed of this flashlight app is just beautiful. Please don't screw it up! :)
5 ★Same story as others. I found the free version first then after successfully trying it with my Motorola Droid MAXX I felt it was worth paying for. Thank you!
5 ★Simple, efficient, no strange permissions, just what I need!
5 ★I've been using your free version for quite some time and it has become a vital tool in my daily life. When I saw you had a donate version, I picked it up right away to show my gratitude for such a great app you've made. Thank you.
5 ★If you have a nexus device running 4.2.1 with lock screen widget then this is a must.
5 ★Thanks for your work on this program.
5 ★Just wow, excellent app. Sane permissions and dead simple, did exactly what I wanted (to have a Lock screen-widget flashlight for my Nexus 4). Tried the free one for under a minute, loved it, got this instead to show my appreciation.
