the Swipe to right during lockscreen, or the long press down key during lock screen
can it access other camera app instead of stock LG camera app?
I find the G2 camera app very slow, bad file naming (use number format instead of date) and lack of filters.
What if I uninstall the stock camera apk (rooted), will the OS ask me to choose another camera app instead? or simply crash the system

If you install another camera app, the next time you access the lockscreen or messaging cam you will be prompted to choose a default. No need to uninstall the stock camera.

I agree. But you can use which default camera should be selected all the time through the phones settings.

If you select "Always" when prompted then it will be the one always used.
If you want to change you go to the app list, open the properties of the currently defaulted camera app and "Clear defaults", that way the next time you swipe from the lockscreen you'll be asked to choose again.
Not very handy I agree but managing all defaults from the settings would be cumbersome anyway. Plus a lot of people don't really care about that so if you're down to that level of tweaking you probably can live with the available method.

That's true. Maybe we can look at some other ways to do this on rooted device. But for out of the box smartphones, this is only the option.
after multiple approach, seems like i only can use my desire camera app at lock screen IF the lockscreen is not code protected
After set up my pattern code, the lockscreen camera will always be the stock camera despite cleared default in app.
I guess it's a security reason, or the lock screen camera is actually a widget instead of a proper app, hence cannot be changed.

I Have camera Zoom FX for the timer feature, but I rarely use it. It always gives me the option to pick it or the stock camera when taking pics from apps like WhatsApp/SMS etc..
Is there anyway to remove it from these lists without uninstalling the app so I can open it manually?
No. If the option is there, hit "always" and just open the pictures with the default camera app.

That's what I figured.. The "Always" option isn't always there.. I know it's just an extra click but it gets annoying...
Thanks!

Yeah, I understand your frustration. It's a limitation of the "intents" that Google offers in that the list will always be there. Oh well.
In the device settings on the G2 you have the four tabs on top of the screen when you're in the settings page.
If you hit menu, you can change it to list view. However this resets back to tab view every time you close it, then you have to hit menu again, and change to list view.
Is there any ay to change to list view permanently, or force it?
This is something that would be perfect to mod with Xposed in my mind if there isn't a native function for this.

Oh what really? Crap I always thought that it would save your preference.
At least it does that on the G Pro...if this is true then I'll definitely have to get the Verizon G2. Can't stand the sight of those ugly Crapwiz tabs.
It could just be mine not saying it properly. It does feel like something that should save.

Seriously?! Haha! But you're on a D802?! So there must be a setting somewhere. Or do you have an Xposed module that could be responsible?

It's must be your phone. That option working perfectly fine for me on stock(before) and Rayglobe ROM(since yesterday)
I'm running stock ROM with Xposed Framework, CWM Recovery. I'm rooted.
Is it possible that some Xposed module is causing this?
I'm finding it has something to do with which launcher you use... stock saves it, nova, google experience, etc. doesn't... looking for a fix, but haven't found one.
Switch to list view in stock launcher and choose do not show again ok. Then switch to other launcher of your choice.
Does anybody know if it's possible to change the camera app when double pressing the power button? I have changed my default camera to proshot but when double pressing the power button it still opens the stock camera.

I don't use Proshot but I just cleared defaults for my stock camera and set the action to Snapchat which worked fine. Try clearing default launch action for any camera apps and the double tap your power button, it should prompt you to select one, select Proshot and then say Always.

Hi! I'm the developer of ProShot. If you have a password-protected lockscreen, the power button shortcut won't work at this time (it will work if there is no password though). For some reason Android isn't granting the app access to the camera, despite the fact that it's declared properly in the manifest. I'll be reaching out to Google about this.
Disable stock camera with root and see what happens?
Disabling the stock camera just makes the screen flash when double pressing the power button. I disabled it with titanium backup. How are your suggesting disabling it?

Hi,
I'm sorry for hijacking the thread but since you're here I thought I'd ask if it's normal for the app to freeze/take a while to respond when you change the orientation of the phone? It's happening to me a lot lately, to the point that I stopped using the app. We are able to keep talking about this through PM or I am able to PM you my email address in case you need some sort of logs.
Thanks

When you change the orientation, the app does a normal UI rotation animation (shouldn't freeze or anything). This is unfortunately necessary due to a bug in Android. The UI rotation only takes 0.5s though. Is it taking longer? We can PM, just wanted to address the issue publicly

But weirdly A Better Camera and Open Camera will show up as an option when I have a PIN
When I don't have a PIN ProShot will show up
So what are they doing differently?

I don't know There's a public git for Open Camera and I see that our permissions declarations are the same. I've spent a lot of time looking into this and I'm stumped.

I don't know about anyone else, but this is my first MIUI phone.
I thought it would be useful to start a thread regarding MIUI notes/tips/etc that are specific to MIUI.
The first big one of course - how to fix push notifications:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/bensin/...ions-on-xiaomis-miui-8-for-real/#11f834174e1b
I was about to start this very thread
I found a cool feature
You can select several photos for deleting by simply gliding your fingers over the photos
Another cool feature
You can orient that device do that it's upside
The top bezel-less becomes downwards.
The phone is also programmed to rotate it to the standard orientation during a phone call because of Mic location.
One thing I quite like is how specific WIFI connects can be disabled without having to remove them.
Our work WIFI blocks certain things, so it's nice to be able to disable it but not have
to totally remove it (and then reenter all the passwords when I re-enter it).

For each WIFI connection, there is a little > to the right of it.
If you touch that you go into another menu, and one option is 'auto connect on/off'.
Turning off autoconnect helps in situations where there are multiple WIFI signals, but you only want it autoconnecting to a specific one.

2 finger swipe on notifications displays their details (or what is called Peek)

Thanks for clarifying.
What if I'm in the range of two networks that I've saved the passwords for.
Which does the mi mix connect to when I enter range?
Looks like the last one I've connected to.

That's actually a primitive way of doing it.
Samsung did it better by letting you 'peek' one-handedly with a simple swipe down of the notification.
With mi mix, I have to use two hands. I can do it with one hand but it's tough.

And just found out, we can't "swipe away" the notifications from the lockscreen directly. Need to pull down the shade and clear from there. Would this not be considered a stupid decision?!

Perhaps there's a solution if you root/install Xposed & a module is available for lockscreen options.
I'm rooted,but, haven't used Xposed in ages, considering trying it again......
On Samsung devices,(non-root) Ad Blocking apps have a persistent notification on the lockscreen that cannot be swiped away,.The only remedy for this was to turn off the ad blocking.

I followed all the steps.
I understood that there are several instances of settings and installed apps.
I went through all of them but still could not disable or uninstall pre-loaded apps like Mi Credit, Mi Cloud and all those Mi nonsense apps.

Those are uninstallable I guess (as Mi earns from these apps and not selling the phone), few rubbish were uninstalled using this method.
I should be able to disable them though
Apparently not
Some more MIUI notes:
menu + volume down = screenshot
hardware test: dial *#*#6484#*#*
More phone info: dial *#*#4636#*#*
There is a toggle to disable the navigation buttons (double tap them to re-enable)
handy if you keep accidentally hitting them.
in 'buttons' can auto disable for any particular app (games)
In accessibility there is a magnification mode - triple tap to allow/disable zooming of screen. (EDIT: it's bugged - it isn't supposed to trigger during keyboard typing,but it does, effectively making it useless)
wake with volume buttons is in lockscreen menu, not "button"
There are some apps that just won't stay uninstalled. Anyone got idea how to remove them? PPTV for example

Needs to be rooted to remove system app
So I basically installed a camera app from the store on my ASUS X00PD and noticed it works better than stock camera app so I often use that, but if I open the camera from the lockscreen shortcut in the bottom right, it opens the stock camera app.
I looked for a way to change the default camera or even disable the stock one (without root) but I was unable to.
Here is what i tried:
Go to settings - Security and lock screen - look for "App shortcuts" but there is none
Go to settings - Apps - defaults - no camera option here
Go to settings - Apps - All Apps - find stock camera app - Clear defaults - it's greyed out
Go to settings - Apps - All Apps - find stock camera app - try to disable the camera, it's greyed out
Go to settings - Apps - All Apps - find my new camera app - no option to set as default
Go to settings - Advanced - there is some option for Instant camera, but it's just for quick camera using volume buttons, but no option on which one to open
Uninstall new camera and re-install it or even install another random camera and try see if lockscreen shortcut asks me for default camera but doesn't
Deny stock camera app for "camera" permissions, but the only change is that it asks me for it again
Have someone managed to achive this feat? Maybe it's just me, but I can't really think of anything else...
