Sources keep on uncovering more and more tweaks to Android 13. Adding to improved security and privacy control, smart home access, Material You palette, and audio and media enhancements among other amazing feats, Android 13 supports flashlight adjustment.
After the rollout of the first developer preview of Android 13, it was noticed that Android 13 supports flashlight adjustments and we expected a toggle to come in to perform this functionality. However, as the first stable version of the software was rolled out to Google Pixel smartphones, the toggle seems to be absent.
Fortunately, sources have uncovered that a third-party app can make the “Android 13 supports flashlight adjustment” statement come to reality.
Android 13 supports flashlight adjustment via which app?
The third-party app designed for flashlight adjustment on Android 13 devices is the Flashlight-Tiramisu by polodarb. “The app has a barebones interface with just a slider that lets you adjust the flashlight brightness.”
As interesting as it is to know that Android 13 supports flashlight adjustment via the Flashlight-Tiramisu app, it works for a few devices leaving out some too. The app is compatible with the Pixel 6 series and Samsung S22 running on the OneUI 5 beta but that’s not the case with the Oppo Find X5 Pro running on ColorOS 13 beta.
Furthermore, sources also revealed that the app isn’t compatible with the OnePlus 10 Pro running on OxygenOS 13 beta as well. Meanwhile, Esper’s Mishaal Rahman gave us a reason why the app isn’t working with the OnePlus and Oppo smartphones.
According to him, “[Since] Google has frozen its new HAL requirements to ensure that vendor implementations built against version N will be certifiable for up to version N+3…device makers can upgrade their devices to Android 13 while reusing a vendor implementation designed for an older Android release that doesn’t include the new camera device HAL and its support for LED brightness control,”
