Always use GPS Photo (camera mode)

Hey guys, I've searched around but didn't find anything useful.
I'm trying to figure out a way to always have the camera in GPS Photo mode. For obvious reasons that I want to geotag all the picture that I take in the camera...kinda like the iPhone and many Android phones. In those phones, there's an easy way to just enable or disable geotagging.
Any ideas??

Hmmm...once I put the camera in GPS mode, it stays there until I manually change it, even through closing the camera and reopening it, and through soft-resets too.

See that's exactly what I want but it keeps switching to normal mode. btw I'm using EnergyROM 23569 Cookie - May, 28th release, if that helps any.

rvashi, what method are you using to put the camera in gps mode...are you doing it through the footprints tab? If so, there's actually a tweak to unlock that directly in the camera's settings, that's how I turn on geotagging.

I start Camera and then select the GPS Photo mode from the settings button at the bottom. I think that's the same way you are doing it. But mine is not sticking to GPS Photo mode for some very odd reason.

[Q] About Dorimanx ROM

i cant ask it on his thread so ill ask it here..
1.I switched by mistake to the front camera on the android cam app,and now i cant enter to it because it just close the app with an error,what should i do?
2.I want the ringtone to be one of my songs (they're on SD-CARD and on the phone),how can i do this?

1 - have you already tried to reboot the phone? It should reset the camera app.
2 - dunno about dorimanx rom but the default gingerbread music player should have an option to set a mp3 as ringtone if i remember well.

Go to manage applications>camera>clear data, should work although you may have to reset a few settings if you had any (i.e. saturation, contrast, sharpness) but that doesn't take long.

On the market there are loads of apps which can convert MP3s to ringtones, and as the earlier post said in the stock CM7 music player that is also an option (go to the 'Now playing' screen by pressing the box at the bottom with the song in it, then menu>use as ringtone).
Again on the market there are tons of task killers and stuff, or you could use GO Launcher which is IMO the best launcher and comes with a task killer built into the launcher (in the app drawer there is a 'running' apps section which you can use to kill stuff).

Enable built in music channel(ROOT)

if you have root you can enable the music channel by editing the default.xml. Using a file explorer navigate through system/customize/aac to default xml and incase your rom doesn't use default.xml, edit the one with your cid, scroll right to the bottom of the default .xml, in that area you will see a line, support_music_channel">false ...change it to true, save, reboot. In settings there should be an option for music channel, now, I donot know if it works without harmon kardon so some feedback would be good from someone using stock adsp.img with boomsound, I cant see why it wont work. Give a try and post your results. Play a song in any music app (supposedly), if music channel is enabled there will be a notification pop up, open the notification draw and tap music channel, you will have access to visualizations and gracenote and an update function for music lryics, I actually think its awesome and don't know why its been disabled.

Thanks for the tip! Just got this working on mt ATT One M8 running nV Rom. It took me a while to get the default.xml to actually save my edits, but what I ended up doing was rebooting to TWRP recovery, mounting /system and using the console to pull up vi and edit the file. Was a bit of a pain, but it looks awesome!

Works great thanks! It was very easy to do. I just edited the file with x-plore and then I changed the permissions back, rebooted and it worked. Btw it worked with BoomSound!

Cool ...nice to hear it works for boomsound aswell, why HTC disabled it is beyond me, the option itself works fine, its gracenotes database that seems to be a bit dodgy, they don't have enough information for lryics, seems its just the most popular albums/tracks, most of the stuff I listen to cant get the lryics, like metric and feedme, think its mainly charts.

Tty and hearing aid enhancement also works ....just enable in default.XML, there's loads of features turned off, these 2 modes are very much needed, well. I can say for sure hearing aid enhancement would be much needed by ppl.

I have this 'ACC' folder not system/customize/aac... is it the same?
EDIT: NVM got it...

cheers for that, why that isnt there by default is beyond me, awesome. im running stock aswell

So what is music channel and what does it do for me. I enabled it and don't see any difference so far. Thanks though.

Play some music, if its working properly an icon will pop up in notification draw, open the draw click on music channel and see. It suppsed to detect any music player but I expect theres limitations, works on googleplay and stock ...not tried any other, htc's music player as got a cropped down version of the music channel tied only the that app, this one should be global.

Now that I'm back stock (but still S-Off), can i get this to work?
Before stock, i tried Viper Rom, and this Rom has the channel enabled...

This is rad! Such a fail on their part for having this defaulted to off. I tried it with Google play music and spotify and it worked no problem. I used root explorer to change everything needed and took two seconds. Thank you soooo much!!!!

Yes, will work on stock, its part of htc's rom, its installed because there music app uses it, but htc disabled the global use.

Just enabled it for ARHD 10.2. Fantastic! Thank you!

i have a line for "support_music_ringtone", another line in the same area for "support_outdoor_mode"... nothing that says "support_music_channel" though... any ideas?

For people who cannot get the Lyrics to work it is due to Gracenote country restrictions.
If you cannot get lyrics for music , download any VPN app and browse as a US user.
I personally prefer Tunnelbear.
then after you turn it on go to the music channel , click the menu button then update lyrics..wait a couple of seconds and your lyrics will be there.
I only needed to do this once..it is working now even after i turned VPN off.

It's all the way at the bottom, about a half dozen or so lines up.

This feature is already there just no such special dedicate button popup at notification.
During playback of song, scroll to right at main music player (from now playing to visualizer) and you will get the exact same thing.

Htc's music visualizer's not global/system wide, as wrote above, its in the htc music app but htc disabled it for use on other music apps, It also has its own play/stop/skip buttons in full screen plus, I think it enables a few more visuals but not 100% on that as I never looked in the music app, if someone wants to look before they enable it and give feedback ..that would be great.

Oh others music apps. That I didn't use others apps.
But for HTC own apps, it is there.

I'm using it now with Amazon Prime. Is there a way to turn off the lyrics and just have the visualizations?

Problem with Facebook messenger

Hi guys,
friend of mine got a Mi a1 but noticed a problem on Messenger. Ususally when you go in the picture settings folder in the settings menu there should be an option on top to auto save received pics.
But the option seems missing. Only the option to auto save taken pics shows. Had several updates of the app already and even installed the beta version but the option is never showing up. App permissions for storage and camera are granted. Anybody facing the same issue? Never experienced that on another phone before.
Best regards

This ?

Yep, the top option isn't there in my friends phone. Maybe better to contact facebook then since it isn't a device specific problem
Do you have an additional gallery installed? Or just use the google photos app?

No additional gallery, and no permissions granted, maybe there is some setting in facebook related to this

Disable camera shutter sound

Hi, I have rooted my phone and used a File explorer (Root Explorer) and proceeded to rename all the camera related audio files located at /system/media/audio/ui to .old
After a reboot I tried to see if the sound is gone but it is still there.
Following some old guide I found here I tried to find system/csc/feature.xml but it does not exist at all (nor the file nor the folder CSC)
I know a work around is to use a bixby routine to enable DND as long as the camera is open but considering that I am rooted I wanted to find a solution (not a work around)
I tried using Magisk Modules but they don't work either.
I am using Android 10

Hi!
Ummm there's a setting for shutter sounds right within camera settings. See attached photo. Unless yours is different because Exynos. Mine is US Snapdragon on Android 10.
:good:

Hi! thank you for replying this thread. I thought it would be obvious but the option is not there for me (I have Exynos)! Not everybody has the option to do it and that is why I rooted my phone, tried a few methods (described in my post) but none of them work... damn shutter sound is still there

I have not found a solution either, right now just using some bixby action to put the phone in silent mode when the camera app is open

Really odd nobody found a solution yet

I feel like there should be some ADB command to activate the option in camera settings, but not sure what it would be.

Hi....well, it is not necessary to put the whole device into silent mode because of the camera shutter sound .... Bixby Routine does that part great....

I feel the same! the option it is there (hidden) we just gotta figure out how to make it visible. Was hoping somebody here would have the answer.... I guess the big fishes are busy

You could always just turn the system volume sound to 0
You still have notifications, ringtone, media and bixby sounds.

But nobody knows if the option is hidden or removed by default because of the obvious people trying to take inappropriate or illegal photos without consent. Just like recording phone calls, the option isn't available by system only 3rd party apps. Even though in my State its legal to record without consent any phone call in which i am a party to. Under the surveillance and devices act 1999. Yet Google decided to just kill the option globally.

I'm using an app from GG Play store to mute the camera app. It works just fine
