Has anyone found a working flashlight app for the Jolla C? "Torch" and "Hammerhead Torch" don't seem to work.

Jolla C has flashlight built in, in quick actions.... (though there is a bug with it). Flashlight apps use kinda hack that's no longer working (write status to file), in harbour torch comments there's a workaround...

japsi ( 2016-08-01 08:40:09 +0300 )edit@rgrnetalk The bug appears to be fixed in the 2.0.2.48 pre-release version of the system. It did not work for me on 2.0.2.43 either, but it does now.

rgrnetalk ( 2016-08-01 10:41:44 +0300 )edit@rgrnetalk Thanks, I did not try that. The flashlight shortcut did not work for me at all (even after restart) on 2.0.2.43, so 2.0.2.48 was an improvement, but I suppose it is still faulty in the situation you described.
