v3.1 Release video:
Usage:
Simple start the application. If you see the "Calibration Screen" then do what it says, rotate your phone in the 3 axis with full circles. If you away from any electronic and magnetic interference, the calibration takes 3-5 seconds. If you can't wait to complete the process, you can skip it, but then the compass may not be accurate.

There is also a separate application to run just the flahlight. That's the O2Flash. You can download it from here (190 KB). The O2Flash are integrated to the O2Compass installer, but if you need it alone...
