Disable camera hardware button. - Xperia Z1 General

Hey, so I'm getting annoyed that every time i place my phone stand in the car, the camera launches due to the stand getting a firm grip on the phone.
So yeah, I would like to disable the button completely.if that's possible?
Running stock. 157 rooted
Thanks.

When you open up camera app and go to settings, you should see an option for quick launch. Just set that to off and the hardware button will be disabled.

Power button twice camera

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?

side question: Does anyone know how to disable the vibration when the power button is double tapped for the camera? Just curious if it's possible...

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.

Sorry, what did do specifically? I'm trying to do the same with EX Kernel and I turned down the gesture vibration all the way, but it didn't change anything.

Camera, time out-time

If left untouched, the camera-app will shut down after approximately 30 seconds.
Very frustrating when waiting for the perfect opportunity to take a picture.
Is there any way to change this behavior?
(Except from taking pictures or changing focus by half pressing the camera button or such)

Mine stays open all the time. I just opened camera app and put it on the table for about 2 minutes and it stays open.
Maybe u use any powersaving apps / modes?
Also, which firmware do u use?
Camera app V 1.0 or camera app V 2.0?
You can try to clear data via settings>apps>all>camera and test again.

Could u upload a screen recording of what exactly is happening?
And does it happen in all camera modes? (8MP, 23MP, 20MP, video, manual, superior auto, and AR as well?)
It happens if you go to camera app trough lockscreen shortcut or hardware button form stand-by, but if you unlock device, then go to camera app in normal way touching the icon from homescreen or in drawer then it won't shut down it self.

I think that is just a "feature" to prevent prolonged activation of camera if by misstake pressing the hardware shutter button or if screen goes on by some reason like sms and contact with skin through thin jeans pockets could pull around lockscreen buttons.

Oh then I misunderstood you. I thought u where talking about unlocking and then opening camera app.
I can confirm the issue now lol, but I think this is to prevent the camera staying open in case it accidentally opened.

That seems correct. Opening the app as you said made the Camera stay open til I close it manually.
I´ve never opened the camera that way before since I hava a physical button for it.

That´s probably why.
I would still like to change the behavior but I guess that´s not something done easily. (Or does anyone know a way?)

Disabling double tap home button of several Lollipop ROMs?

As many of you know the double tap home button is a special feature to launch the camera of many roms.
I don't use this feature. I only use the home button to get to the home screen. The problem here is that the phones has to wait for the second click every time. I think the lag is ~200ms.
How can i disable this? It's so annoying for me, the phone feels sluggish because of this feature.
Go to camera and then go to settings and disable quick launch
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Thank you but there is no option for that in the Note 3/4 camera. But i already installed the s6 camera and even that didn't fix the lag. I just want to get rid of the stupid waitstait. =(

Le pro 3 gestures

Hello, are there any gestures for turning on screen in le pro 3. For example as lg smartphones when double tapping the screen turning on. I find in the setting when you press long to back button it goes to sleep but there is not same gesture for wake up. I am using stock rom.

Nope. I miss that from other phones too. There are 3rd party apps that technically do double tap to wake (dt2w) but they basically only by keeping the screen on non-stop and just turning the brightness all the way down. I wasn't a fan of the few I've tried. A custom kernel mod could allow it, in theory.

Try this to enable ambient display and wave to wake up feature.

Also try Fingerprint Quick Action for notification pull down

I tried it but it doesn't effective because it is working after fingerprint. I want to find something which can wake up phone without pressing power button or fingerprint sensor.

Well that's because you need to unlock it. Try disabling the option "Power button instantly lock" and it will go to home screen right away in one swipe.

This an old APP, used to like it 2 years ago...try ALWAYS ON DISPLAY-AMOLED...using it better than the ACTIVE DISPLAY, you don't need to used the pattern, you can use your fingerprint. Trust me, ACTIVE DISPLAY is an old app, works well when fingerprint is not present before.:highfive:

Interesting and thanks, I will give it a try but mind you, you cannot use fingerprint while the phone is on the table with screen facing up, can you? And using the fingerprint defeats the purpose of using this app and in fact you don't need this app or the ACDisplay if you can use your fingerprint.

Yep, I am trying it now and I think my first impression is it being more responsive than ACDisplay both in wave-to-wake-up and pick-up-to-wake-up features. Double-tap to wake up phone does not work at all but rather use to go to home screen once the phone woke up similar to swiping up or down. Notification glance could use some improvement, I like ACDisplay's tap to glance and swipe-down to get rid of the notification. I will check the battery consumption of this app over night.

Well I was wrong as it is not battery-friendly as ACDisplay. It keeps on popping out even without waving the hand or picking up the phone. I uninstalled it now and reverted to ACDisplay. =D

Navigation Buttons Mod?

Call me a bit old fashioned, but I have a specific set of "keybinds" that I always work to achieve one way or another on my android devices.
The "Menu" button of old is more important to me than a "Recents" button - really just hoping to achieve inverted behavior of the square button: short press for menu, long press for recents.
Long pressing the "Back" button should kill the foreground app.
Any other bind to quickly toggle the torch light.
Using the menus in OxygenOS, I can't seem to achieve this. Any suggestions or secrets I've yet to find out about?
In Oxygen os you can set LONG PRESS RECENT BUTTON to perform MENU Action. I use it all the time.
About long press back button to kill app, I think this feature was removed in PIE.
Me too was looking for it but didn't find a solution.
Anyway I quickly realized that I don't need it. Op6t can keep a lot of app in memory so there's no need to kill.
When i want to kill one or all i use Recents.
Not a big deal for me.
Yep that's how I'm using everything now. It gets the job done, though I find myself reverting to old habits absent-mindedly. I'm sure I'll be perfectly adapted in a matter of days.

Permissions granted using root. It won't get past the compatibility check (The screen says "If you don't see anything your device is incompatible," and I certainly dont see anything). Thanks for the suggestion, though.

It can be granted access with ADB (PC). It should work I've had it work even on LG phones and such.

I don't think the permissions are the problem. The app doesn't complain about that, it just doesn't do anything to the nav bar during setup, and according to the app that's indicative of incompatibility.
