Tutorial | Add "Torch" function to menu

You will need:

• A menu.ml for your phone
• Notepad or any text editor
• This tutorial

1. Step - Get a menu.ml
To get your phones original menu.ml download from your phone with A2Uploader/XS++(tpa\preset\system\menu\) or download your phones extracted FS from here. Thanks for devilwasabi!
2. Step - edit the menu.ml
Open your menu.ml and search for this part:(This may vary by phone and menu. It can be Desktop element 1-12.)



Under that part you find the entries from organizer.

Insert this code like in screenshot.

3.Step - Save
Save the edited menu.ml and upload to phone! (tpa\preset\system\menu\)





Enjoy!

In the attachment I attached the edited menu.ml for C510!

What phones does this work on?

All phones that supports menu modding I guess.

Yes KB you're right on all phones you will have to add that string. But you have to have a phone with LED photo light like C510

And phones with an led flashlight.

So would this work on my k800? Saves me from using the torch.jar I downloaded

@Boysie
Yep, but I think I precised that in the long title.
@cchaos

K800 has a xenon flash, or not?

Well that's obvious!

Don't anyone of you use the activity menu, it's great for purposes like this

No mate it wont work. As you know k800 has xenon flash and not led.

Xenon, with red/orange LED (torch.jar lights up that LED)


I did on my w810, but I dont think my k800 has it on the activity menu

EDIT: Hmm, my shortcuts on the k800 activity menu is empty.


but how come torch.jar works then? Hmmm must be able to use it surely?

Activity menu? How?

@cchaos

You may try it. Tomorrow I will try it on my mother's k800i

Im not trying it tonight: Im kinda busy.

The earliest I could try it is probably sunday (but even then, Ive made plans)

Erm, on the activity menu > shortcuts tab > at the bottom new shortcut > organiser > Light/Torch

N0000bs! I'm sure you know this.

@cchaos
Ok, no problem. Announce us when you have results!

@Kaosblade
Ok I got it, but if you don't have an edited menu.ml how you find light in organizer?

I use torch/light by activity menu shortcut. it is so simple. just add new shortcut and direct it to light.. thats it. just a matter of 10 sec to create this shortcut in actuvity menu/shortcut.... if we have so easy option why should we work so much for it

and we actually can add few things we frequently use, in the activity menu/shortcut

Jock is absolutely right on this issue....

Just tried on my k800 and as expected it doesn't work. You get the menu options for sos etc but no response from the focus assist led.

I guess the focus assist light works in conjunction with the xenon flash only and is not enabled by this menu mod.

Thank you! The premade C510 menu.ml worked!

It won't work on any phone with zenon flash like C905, K800 etc you need the jar file to make the led use as a torch for K800 and some others

As I thought but it would be nice to use the focus assist led through this menu. It should be easy enough with a patch. If only I knew how to code patches!

Thought i made it for C510, C902, C901 already

Yeah, but this tutorial helps people to make it on their own menu.ml . e.g They download a menu.ml from a pack but there is no Light funtion in it. They put that 4 line and it's ready to use.
