Don't shoot me if u allready know or allready posted somewhere else on XDA
On homescreen long press screen and select Shortcuts( or menu>add>shortcuts)
Select activities, sweep to Camera>expand and select camcorder. Et Voila! A direct shortcut to camcorder without starting the cam first.
Feel free to explore other hidden com.google activities without other 3rd party apps
nice one.
I use the recorder alot so this is sweet.
Not bad. I have set up a dock for the camera, gallery and camcorder to easily get to in LP. Hopefully use camcorder more often.

Very nice!!
I use Camera360 for taking pictures but always hated to have the original Galaxy S camera icon on my homescreen as well in case i want to shoot a video.
With this neat little trick i have a special videocamera icon + it´s a great time safer. THANX!!
Thanks for this useful tip.

For some reason, the feature mentioned in the video above does not work in my phone.
I already activated this in the Settings. Any thoughts why?
Thanks!

it should work if you checked one handed operations in the settings. this was the first thing i tried on the display model at the at&t store today. the guy in the video is kinda doing the wrong gesture to get it to work though. its not a half circle gesture, you need to swipe the screen to the left and back to the right real quick with out taking your finger off the screen. or vice versa.
Did that already. Still does not work. Dont know why. Hehe.

It works on mine (French device) .
Works on mine.
I'm also having the same issue, haven't got it to work yet either. Again, I've enabled it in the options but no matter what gesture I make, it doesn't work.
I've got a suspicion that there's another setting conflicting with it somewhere but I don't know what.
Does it only work on the home screen with the stock launcher or is this supposed to work anywhere? In the videos I've seen demoing it it's always been on the main home screen.
Anywhere
Anytime
Even in multi window mode
I can't even get it to work on the home screen. I'll try to record a video tonight.
It works on app as well.

I've just made a quick video showing this not working on mine:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AddrtLg1Ok4
Please excuse the poor quality, that's my old phone (and the woman in the background is my wife, ignore her).
Believe me, I've tried every variant of swiping that I can think of, I just cannot make this work.
Somebody did a factory reset and after tried? May be some settings or app cause this.
I had the same problem. I solved it by disabling all accessibility services, in my case it was lightflow that caused it. If you enable lightflow you get a warning that talkback can't be active in junction with several Samsung services, which is on one hand exactly what happens. On the other hand it's not talkback that's activated, but lightflow. which is really strange : the message is simply wrong.
I spotted this thread here:
http://developer.samsung.com/forum/...=GeneralB&messageId=204387&messageNumber=2156
Look at post #35. This is a bug of the S4 but it seems to be also existent on the note 3. this is what also breaks the gesture for one handed operation .

This is it! I disabled all my accessibility services and suddenly one-handed mode worked right away!
That's a bit of a damn shame, as I need those services for my Pebble and to a lesser extent, Lama. Oh well, fingers crossed for a bugfix.
We better cross fingers very hard because Samsung had not fixed this for over a year!!!
To get this working it seems all accessibility options have to be turned off. I don't think any specific third party app is to blame as any of the ones on the screen cap caused the function to stop if it was turned on. If they are turned of it works fine in Touch wiz and other launchers tried.
Hope this is fixed soon as Lightflow, DynamicNotifications, Pebble and Tasker etc. are very useful to me - even more so when rooting is reliably sorted.
It's also worth mentioning that turning on any of these accessibility options also causes the standard browser to keep talking annoyingly saying "Page Loading", Page Loaded" etc. Further indication it is an Android bug.

Yes you are wright. This was the problem. But without pebble and tasker is not my option, so I'll wait for the fix it.
Really thanks for your solution!
I use my phone a lot in the car (GPS, music and phone calls), so I always keep the original apk's files from the Nexus One Car Home handy. The app is still listed in the Play Store, but it won't install in newer devices.
Just install both files as regular apps, reboot and you are set to go. I always liked this app for its simplicity. Enjoy!
Also, I will recommend getting some NFC tags and Trigger (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jwsoft.nfcactionlauncher), so you can launch the app automatically in your car. Trigger is a very easy to use, but if you want more control, get Tasker instead.
I really like the look of it too, but it kept reopening after I closed the app.
Try wiping Dalvik and cache, this happened to me one time and that fixed the problem.
I hope thus helps.

Nice one thanks, don't like the speedo, compass rubbish all the other apps have and the only other solutions to get the proper one on needed root.
Hah, no way. Cool thanks for posting this. I might have to give this a go.
Like @b1g1an said, to get proper car dock mode (i.e. landscape on the home launcher) you gotta have root, that's why I made this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.warner.carmode
but this Nexus One app is a nice optional solution.

Ultimate Rotation Control doesn't need root to rotate the home screen so might be worth a look how they do it, you'll get a lot more takers of yours if you can lose the root reliance.

Thanks for showing me this. Definitely worth noting this down.
When I use car mode I get the notification in the status bar which is fine but it also flashes the notification light which is useless and hides whether I have any "real" notifications.
Didn't have this issue on other phones I used it on previously. Any ideas how I can stop the light flashing just for this app?

hi
i tried this app a while back and it work fine for me .!
i am not a person to "worry " to much about "fingerprint apps issue " but check this thread on XDA, ( i don't use the app currently ,but good option ) App by dev @ Rick Celphas It will give you a good idea if app is what you looking for ?

good luck
just create a knox container and put your app into it.
Fingersecurity undoubtedly recommended

i checked the app. but the app offers only locking other apps with fingerprint. there is no option to lock individual data folders or files. as of now i am using es file explorer's encrypt option to lock my data with a password. but that is not a good option either, as i have to input password on every lock and unlock
i think you could use fingersecurity and the built-in private mode?

yup it works. didnt look into private mode till i read your post. sad part is that it only works with samsung own MY FILES app which is annoying. but it still does the job.
i still havent been able to find any 3rd party app that does the same.
Just as any of my previous devices, I tried to install Cerberus on the OnePlus 6T. The simple fact you can't block the status bar without root is a bummer itself but it was to be expected, what wasn't expected is the fact even if you tap the option to hide the power menu from the lock screen, it is still visible for a fraction of a second and there is enough time to press the power or restart buttons before it hides.
So that makes me wonder, is there a better alternative to Cerberus that works well with the OnePlus 6T? Android native "find my device" is a joke because anyone can just turn off the Internet toggles from the lock screen and there goes the app coverage, was thinking about Prey but haven't tried it just yet. Any advice or recommendation is highly appreciated.
Thanks
I've been looking for an alternative as well. I've always rooted and used Cerberus. But I haven't rooted this device.
I've been using an app that used to be called locker by Aegis Dynamics; it's now called test, it may be what you're looking for.
I use renovate rom my lockscreen is set to have nothing on it at all and it works fine. No notification panel no quick settings no power menu or quick launch. Also pin number position is random.
Lockscreen config for the rom.

never use those apps and I think its not necessarily
Best app in Playstore for anti theft and antivirus, that is customizable and have a lot of useful features is by far Bitdefender. Try it.
I use Cerberus app. Of course I got mine years ago when it was a one time payment then life license for $7 or something. Works awesome

I don't get it. It shows you can install this app, but it already shows up in the device admin tab??
I think it's preinstalled on Android
I've always used Cerberus and never really looked for alternatives. I think it's been removed from the store now as updates come direct from the Cerberus site.
Cerberus user here... Simply the best.

My problem with Cerberus is the one I stated in the first post, and from what I've read FP doesn't work with custom ROMs, so I'm a bit out of options. :silly:
