Quick answer
Toggle flashlight with a shake gesture
A native Android application to toggle the device's flashlight using a shake gesture, mimicking the classic Motorola "chop-chop" feature.
Features: * Gesture Control: Toggle the flashlight on/off by shaking the phone (Motorola-style chop-chop gesture). * Background Service: Runs efficiently in the background via a dedicated foreground Android Service. * F-Droid Ready: Strictly respects user privacy—contains zero trackers, zero analytics, and zero advertisements.
How to install
