Hello guys i know it'll sound kind of lame but try it. if you install google camera on cm12 with twist to capture enabled and dont choose a default camera application then you can use it to wake up your phone from sleep. and it'll just show lockscreen.

If anyone does not want the vibration to occur when opening the camera with the wrist twist method, I found that it can be turned off by using the Xposed mod: (you need root) install AppOpsXposed then going to App Ops in setting, go to device, and turn off vibration rights on the camera app. No more vibration! I was also looking for a way to turn off vibration when unlocking in active display (though the 4.4 update made it a lot less intense) but I haven't found a way without just turning all vibration off. I have a love hate thing with haptic feedback. Anyway, hope this helps someone.

You can probably do this without Xposed and just using App Ops (and/or App Ops X). I saw that camera had vibrate but didn't make the connection to the twist to launch gesture. I don't mind it because it tells me that it worked.
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.

1. Nope, no stamina mode or such
2. 32.0.A.6.200 (latest available stock)
3. Both? "Camera extension" is version 1.0 and "Camera common" is version 2.0
4. I have two, see 3 above, cleared both
Still the same after clearing data and rebooting.

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?)
Dear XDA Community,
As you know thanks to touchwiz it is still possible to turn on silent mode on Android 6.0.
I have been searching the web for hours but could not find "a simple app that when launched turns on silent mode without the need to tap anything (like a widget)".
Can you tell me where to find such an app ? or create it for me ?
I would really appreciate it and I think it help other people facing the same issue.
You must be thinking why isn't he using a widget or an app with a button to tap or something like tasker for silent mode. Well that's because I don't like Tasker and use "Smart connect" instead but Smart connect has limited sound options (ring/vibrate/Do not disturb). However Smart connect allows you to launch an app automatically, so a workaround could be to launch this simple app automatically.
Why the following solutions won't work for me :
- Do not disturb mode
On samsung phones correct me if I'm but you can't set up more that one DND profile. The problem is I need silent mode when I'm at work where I can't accept any sound. On the other hand I use DND at night where I only allow calls (in case of emergency).
- Sound mode toggle widget
I want silent mode to turn on in a certain time period on weekdays. I don't want to have to press a widget every time. I don't even need a widget for that because I could tap on the quick setting in the notification menu.
- A tasker like app for sound modes
Would work but I don't like the idea to have several tasker like apps on my phone. I believe having multiple tasker-like apps triggers wakelock that would impact battery life and/or create wakelocks.
I finally got around to poking at the camera software on the A7 and noticed a Watermark option. Oddly enough, when I try to flip the switch it doesn't turn on. Is anyone else having this issue or know what I'm doing wrong?
Works for me, and it puts the date and the text "by AXON" in the bottom right corner of the photo.
Puts the date but allows me to input whatever title I want with a subtitle and to set whatever colour I want...
I have the Chinese Axon 7, 4gb ram 128gb rom.
It finally started working for me. No idea why it wouldn't previously.
And now it's not working again. I also had the camera app freeze on me and had to reboot my phone.
So it turns out that if you open the camera app from the lock screen, you can't enable and disable the watermark. But if you open it from the app drawer you can.

Thanks for the tip :good:
Is there a way to get the ambient display to show when I pick up the phone or on double tap like some other devices do?
Thanks
try Ambi-Turner apk on google play store.
Thanks, but doesnt seem to do anything with this phone...
i'm using donate version, it unlock option for "wave to wake" and "pick-up to wake", works well and no excessive battery drain.
On the Mi A1?
The standard version has pick up to wake (and pull out of pocket) - neither did anything for me (i did get the notification to say it was running as Pushbullet sent to my computer)
yes on Mi A1, wave gesture work without problem but pickup to wake works only on paid version after enabling "tilt and lift to wake option", in any case it is not much reactive but work.
An alternative can be "always on amoled" apk, it have an option to replace ambient display function or wait until custom rom come out.
@fdc77 does the double tap to wake option work in Ambi-turner as well? Since you already have the donate version, would you mind to check?
@Localhorst86
HI, DT to wake does not work, it is a feature that must be implemented at kernel level, so only with a custom kernel it can be eventually enabled.
