Description

Describe the bug

  • If you turn on/off the flashlight somewhere else but the homescreen button (notification bar shortcuts, app, clicking on the notification bar (some phones have feature to turn it off that way), the icon on the BaldPhone homescreen stays unresponsive (doesn't turn on when flashlight is turned on somewhere else, or turn off when the flashlight is turned off somewhere else).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the flashlight state is synchronized with the homescreen button. Check the BroadcastReceiver or system service that handles flashlight changes. Ensure the homescreen button listens to external flashlight toggles and updates its icon accordingly.
