The flashlight from powermenu isn't working on Xperia X so I made a script for it.

If you want to get flashlight working on Xperia follow the instructions that I quoted by Morpog but replace flash.sh content with:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Toggle Flash
dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.jolla.settings.system.flashlight /com/jolla/settings/system/flashlight com.jolla.settings.system.flashlight.toggleFlashlight
Someone could also test if the dbus method works for other devices if coderus wants to replace control file method.

	then
	echo 1 > /home/nemo/flash.txt;echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/flash_adp1650/mode
        else
        echo 0 > /home/nemo/flash.txt;echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/flash_adp1650/mode
fi
Make the script executable:
chmod +x /home/nemo/flash.sh

Create a flash.desktop file in /home/nemo/.local/share/applications/ with content:

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
X-Nemo-Application-Type=no-invoker
Name=Flash
Icon=icon-launcher-default
Exec=/home/nemo/flash.sh
Open powermenu --> configuration --> choose prefered action and set it to "Application" and select Flash app. Works in locked and unlocked state.
