I got quite used to using the torch flash mode for taking photos in dark places but after loading Open Camera on my new phone (same model as the one I lost!) the flash setting is no longer a menu but a series of modes with no torch mode. I have tried setting the API to both original and Camera2, but no difference. I have also tried various focus modes, also no change. Is this a regression? Is my new phone missing something the old one had? Am I missing something? Some other phone setting? Some ($#Q*%) permission setting?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

This might be Settings/On screen GUI/"Show flash icon" - try disabling that? (The option to cycle through flash options doesn't support torch.)
