Call Flash: Alert on Call-SMS

CallFlash! Flash alert on Calls, SMS & Instant Messaging apps!

CallFlash controls the flash for calls and other notifications. This way you can be notified by your flash for every notification. It is an opensource project, aiming to keep things simple and functional.

If you want any third party app to be added in the list just email me at bigappledev@gmail.com.

IF THE FLASH DOESN'T TURN ON CHANGE THE FLASH DRIVER FROM PREFERENCES->MODULE DRIVER. THERE ARE THREE AVAILABLE.
Prefer
Standard
over
Alternative
and
Alternative
over
Alternative 2
. If the flash doesn't turn on with either of these drivers send me an email at bigappledev@gmail.com.

Please, If you plan to do a bad review, make a comment in order to fix any problems and improve this app. In the end, we all want it to work perfectly for everyone ;)

If your phone starts talking after enabling the "Notification Service" this is a Samsung-Talkback issue:

Problem with
Handcent
?
Go to Handcent → Settings → Application Settings → Default Messaging application → Disable.
You may also disable "Play animation" in the "Send" settings (Thanks Todd).

Might not work on dual SIM phones as it should. Please don't rate badly for that.
