About uTorch

Most devices do have a flashlight switch in the indicator. They will not need this app. It may not even work.
But some devices don't have this switch. They will love this app.
Earlier versions where reported to work with the following devices:
- E4.5, E5
- Meizu MX4, Meizu Pro5
- Nexus 4
Tested with focal on:
- OP5T

Important: For the torch to work, the app needs access to camera. Please allow access when prompted.

This fork of the project is to keep the app maintained and available for Ubuntu Touch.

Aaaaand it's back on Focal now! 😎😆😁👍🏻👍🏻 OnePlus 7 Pro @ Focal OTA #2 build with the Flashlight function under the battery icon, but I am going to use good old uTorch anyway, because history of Ubuntu Phone/Touch and stuff!!! 😋
