Fast way to toggle on LED/Flashlight

I use the flashlight a lot more than I'd like to admit and this would be awesome. maybe like a double tap or hold down both volume buttons?

+1 that would be awesome! I'd use the "torch" module of xposed, but it's incompatible with acdisplay as it turns the display on (active mode). I have to first switch the screen back off, not so handy. I also tried to solve by putting a widget for the torch in acdisplay, but then i lose the clock, as it seems that currently only one widget is supported.

I don't really understand the impetus to include this in acdisplay. Unix philosophy and whatnot.

Why not just install torchie or something like that?

sadly torchie is not consistently working on my system. Anyway, i'd prefer having a more generic solution instead of the torch: more freedom with the widgets would solve.

My concern about including a torch is that you can apply the same logic for including a bunch of other features, and then we end up with a bloated mess that used to be an awesome lock screen app. A more generic solution solves that issue quite nicely.

I would suggest enabling pulling down the settings drawer. That would also allow flipping to silent/vibrate without unlocking which I miss.
