Information about device support is returned by the API itself, so if it writes that there is no support, there is nothing you can do about it

Yet, per https://github.com/polodarb/Flashlight-Tiramisu/issues/10#issue-1956350451, @polodarb, https://forum.fairphone.com/t/support-the-a13-flashlight-brightness-apis-for-the-fp4/101790/7?u=rokejulianlockhart explains that https://f-droid.org/packages/com.cyb3rko.flashdim/ is able to do so.

FlashDim will simply allow you to turn the flashlight on and off, but not change the brightness if your phone does not support it

@polodarb, the relevant A13 API reports a brightness of 1 (rather than the min 0 to max 256 range supported) so this should be able to handle it even if there's no variable brightness to speak of. Do you mean instead that the FP4 doesn't report support for this API whatsoever?
