EDIT: Get this APP, use the username "free" to activate. I keep getting requests via e-mail for authorize.
I just thought I'd tell everyone that after being disgusted about the lack of working flashlight apps (that keep the camera flash LED on) for the ZTE Warp (I own one), that I developed an app that does work without Root.
I call it "Warp Flashlight", and will keep everyone posted on it's progress.
Not sure how many of you would use it as it's a warp specific app. but I intend on registering as a developer and paying the $25 (when I can spare it) to put the app. on the market place.

Warp Flashlight as of 06/03/2012:
Without Root = One toggle button that toggles the Camera LED on or off.
With this app. you can toggle it on to be used as a flashlight and it will not go off even after exiting the app. I've already used it to record videos in the dark with the flash held on.
** You can go back into the app and toggle it off, or use another app, that uses the flash and it will also operate normally at that point even if it was toggled on by my app **
Update as of 06/26/2012:
BETA version was released to one rooted user and the app. works!!
I need a non-rooted user to test, so please pm me if you have decent knowledge of your phone, and installing non-market apk files, and would like to test. Thanks!
Update as of 07/14/2012:
I have several Beta testers testing this app. I am working to resolve any bugs etc. My next goal is to improve battery drain on the app. so I will be cancelling the idea of adding a compass and also optimizing other functions to improve efficiency.
Update as of 07/28/2012:
Looking for 1 more Beta tester, rooted or not.
Version 1.2 uploaded and the following changes have been made:
** Removed screen time out. Flashlight now works regardless of screen state!
** Added the ability to Authorize without internet. Authorizing will now grant 10 free uses at the click of a button. These uses are refreshed each time the app. is authorized.
Battery drain should go down significantly now that the screen times out again!
Update as of 09/23/2012:
** Version 1.3 released
** Open beta is now in effect. Download the app and use the username: openbeta. If you currently use the app I recommend as always that you clear the data and uninstall the old app before installing the latest version.
** Changed minutes to 1,2,5,10 from 1,2,3,4,5.
** Removed authorize BUTTON and no internet button after either work to enable the app. Mostly a clutter removal step.
** Added code to make the camera LED flash on enabling of app in an attempt to narrow down a bug. Please update me if you know about the initial on bug and have noticed it is gone or not. I can't seem to duplicate it always on my phone so that I can just solve it instantly.
** Added a blink check box for a future notification blink after receiving a text or during an incoming call. To use it do the following:
Leave the number at a default 1000 or change it to as low as 0. 0 is the fastest blink but it's a little laggy. 1000 is more consistant but slower. After, simply check the box to blink the flash and uncheck to turn it off. Use this feature at your own risk, it's very buggy at the moment.
In the rooted version (upcoming), the flash will be amazingly fast and will be more responsive. It will also have dim, bright, and off options. I plan to make it an all in one app where root access will simply enhance the features and speed.
Update as of 10/20/2012. As promised:
Version 1.4 is out!
** Fixed a few bugs.
** Increased "No Internet!" uses to 20.
** Open Beta still in progress.
** Added ROOT support for Rooted phones:
-Blink is enhanced.
-Dim feature to dim 'on the fly'.
-On/Off speed is enhanced greatly!
Update as of 11/19/2012
Version 1.5 is out!
** Fixed a bug which existed after restart (Root related)
Update as of 1/17/2013
Version 2.0 is out!
** Flashlight app now requires 1 authorization to enable the app for 1000 uses. Use the code "free" to enable.
Update as of 1/29/2013
Version 2.1 is out!
** Added asynchronous authorization to be forward compatible with newer Android versions.
** Changed the blink system but it may be broken or not functional at the moment. The changes are a slide bar to change the blink rate but it's under construction
