Flashlight "ON" by holding volume rocker on the locked phone
asked 2014-01-03 11:14:38 +0200
Would like to have a function to turn on flashlight of the locked phone by just holding an "Volume up " or "Volume down" rocker. On my N9 this was achieved by Button Monitor app and it was very useful.
That would be great! Simple, but great!

The powerbutton could be used also (2-3s long-press while locked)
