In my program I tested this:
try {
FileWriter mWriter = new FileWriter("/sys/class/leds/flashlight/brightness");
mWriter.write(125);
mWriter.flush();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "setFlashlightEnabled failed", e);
}
I have this in the log :
01-13 14:56:30.578: E/test(603): setFlashlightEnabled failed

I have tested in ADB Shell this :
echo 125 > /sys/class/leds/flashlight/brightness
It works in root but not in normal mode.
What is the solution to change the flash output without being root?
