Clearly, i dont want to change keymap//Key bindings
HELP!!! I hope ppl will agree with me on this

That would be really useful.

Its not too much hard. Just use app called ButtonRemaper. If you want do it for free, you need edit one file, but I can't remember it's name. I will keep eye on it.

I by mistake bought ButtonRemaper and now I was tried it and it works, maybe better say that if you keep button pressed than camera will start. But shooter doesn't work (maybe because that it haven't two state (focus - shoot)?)
//EDIT: Ahh, I notice that I didn't read your whole post.... if you want this feature, you will have rewrite this in app which you using for control of camera.

Did someone identify a way of using a hard button as shutter for the camera, I would find it really useful if so.

"Camera Advance" can set your volume control as shutter.
But I do hope someone will be able to come up with using the search button as shutter for camera apps. Its perfectly positioned when shooting with the phone on landscape position.

If you are using a custom ROM then Cyanogen 7 mod from milks camera will let you do that the only downside is you have to reset the exposure everytime cause it is a lil dark but it is really nice i love it i got so tired of using that stupid lil screen button so check it out

you can

I have the ROM since 2 days now but did not notice this feature! Thanks for pointing it out

The latest update of the lgcamera by rubberbigpepper adds this feature. Its a wonderful app. Try it. You'll also get better sound in videos.

The next killer app

Hello fellow Arc owners.
I have a quick question for you all.
What do you wish your handset could do that it can't?
Something you've always wanted to be able to do with your phone but has never happened, no-one's ever found a way.
Whatever this something is, it has to be possible to do by way of an app - so no super-high-res screens, batteries that last a year on a single charge or anything else hardware related, we're just talking software.
And I'm not talking an updated GingerBreak or something like that. I mean a proper, legit, above board idea.
I'd love to hear any/all sensible ideas, thanks.
NB: I'm not looking to steal anyone's ideas, if you've got a plan for the next killer app then go for it and I wish you all the best.
I'm just trying to find out if there's a niche out there that could be filled...
Im thinking......facial or thumb print unlock screens.....no idea why though.

Thumb print.. won't be feasible on current screens
And facial.. would take too long compared to swiping ?
A snap shot feature would be nice like a system restore. I know there are way to do it in Recovery but it would be nice to have a application within Stock ROM because Recovery is not available within Stock we need to Flash the custom ROM like CM for it.
A better (and free) lock screen could be good ! ..
I used to love how I could use the iPhone/iPod as a touchpad to control the mouse on the computer. Something similar for the arc would be a good idea. Should be graphically pleasing though.
I love to be able to use the camera button unlock the phone directly to the camera app, by long pressing it, so it doesn't happen by mistake. And when you turn off the screen or press the back button it would go back to being locked.

As mentioned, finger prints would require different hardware.
Facial recognition is simply fraught with too many problems to be practical.

Really !! You know how to create a snapshot? Or access it?
Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread Allows Screenshots Without Rooting
Don't know anything more about it though, sorry.
Sorry I think you got me wrong ...! Snapshot i meant a complete image of the system so we can restore it back to previous state. Let's say if something screws up we can restore the image
Right, ok.
I thought you had made two suggestions - screenshots being one and backups being the other.
I could be wrong but I'm not sure that's possible to do unless you're in recovery. I have a feeling that it's only possible to copy certain parts of the OS when it's not running.
As I say, I could be completely wrong but I can't help but feel that there's a reason why recovery is needed to made Nandroid backups.
May be I want to capture video of the activities I do on my device (just like capturing screenshot)...
Though m not sure if its achievable or not!!!
an app which can change anything in the system .. like the default wallpaper settings ..i dont mean the main wallpaper ... change the color .. change the notification bar ... but that easy change anything in the system ... where u can feel easy on making ur own system ... but the problem i dono how to make i hope somebody go on with my idea .... its free for u all ^_^ ... the first who will do this plz let me be the first one who tries it ^_^
thx
I am expecting an application that can show the time and other notification when screen is off. It means that the time can be checked without needing to wake up the screen. W 800 used this technology before. Very useful!

galaxy ace' camera hack. power button as shutter!

I know that this is not the right place to post this. But i created this account just to post. I still can't post on developers thread.
I started this mod because i need the stock camera with the power button as if shutter button! I'm still developing, but in few weeks (i do not have much time to do this), we will have the ace's camera with the power button as if shutter button!
I only request you give "+1".
Few days more information )
I think it would be better if you release it first before that +1 :fingers-crossed:
release it first dude....coming-soon project thread usually reach the wrong end around here :cyclops: best of luck :good:
You will need dalvik byte code chart and android key map chart of API level 10.Wish you best of luck

With Apocalypse Final you can make power button as shutter (with default cm7 camera app). But I can't do that again when back to Democracy v2.
so maybe you can check at sources or something on Apocalypse ROM.
why people want to fry there power off button in taking pics ?? it may not be hard to implement but rather poor thing to spoil button..
dedicated button is useful to start camera faster but for taking pics its more than wasting life of that button

'Dunno man. Hm..maybe for some people it just more simple (you know..different people, different needed). So if this guy made it, it's just for people who needed it.
Maybe in the future IF it's become standard way to taking a picture on the smartphone, the default camera app can hidden the annoying right side bar options so we can enjoy the view more wider (talking about ics camera app on Ace ). Nevermind, it's just my thought

ICS Camera

This is not really a question, but more of a suggestion for those who can't stand to use the current Camera on Liquid and Jesters Roms. Personally, I take a lot of pictures with my phone and the quality from that APK was quite bad when it was dark compared to what it was.
So after a lot of research, here's what I did:
Downloaded Root Explorer from the Google Play.
Browsed to system/app
Mount R/W and deleted Camera.apk
Downloaded this camera apk from MIUI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15307536&postcount=167
Installed it and voila - working camera with focus.
Note: Camcorder still doesn't work
I'm not sure if it's required to uninstall the Camera.apk (chances are no), however it's what I done.
think this may work with AOKP?
No go

You mean it shows the controls, but a blank screen right? You have to take one picture like that, and after that it displays the screen and it works fine. You'll have to do that each time you start up the app unfortunately, but still it's better than crap quality and no focus.

Future ROM feature wishlist

So I know that the devs are hard at work on getting us all kinds of CM, AOSP, and/or AOKP goodness, but I thought maybe if any of the devs are looking for some features to add it might be nice to have a thread they can refer to with everyones "wants" once the "needs" are met.
I'll start it off with a request to add support for BLN (back light notification) to an upcoming kernel. This, combined with the option to put the navigation bar on while dissabling the HW keys would be a great feature IMHO. Not to mention our stock notification LED pretty much sucks a big one.
ROM feature requests
Flashlight in notification drawer quick settings
More options in the shutdown menu (Boot to recovery, etc)
Get rid of the idiotic audio policy of volume reduction when plugging in headphones
Allow dialer rotation
The option to see the standard swipe lock screen before the secure lock.
True music controls on the lock screen
Better control of status bar icons (center clock, hide icons, change colors of icons, etc)
The ability to link the notification volume with the ringer volume
Volume rocker music controls
Universal Qslide
Kernel feature requests
BLN
Enable audio through USB for devices like the Infuse Car Dock (I think this is a kernel issue, if not let me know and I'll put it with the ROM stuff)
I didn't see a similar thread on here, so if there is, kindly point me to it and a mod can delete this one. And if BLN support already exists in Sk8's kernel tell me that too, ha ha.
I haven't looked into the ROMs because I'm liking stock, but a request I do have for when I do decide to flash is to have a flashlight if it hasn't been incorporated into the ROMs out now. There's a lot of times where I need to look for something and don't feel like turning on my light switch. Would be a nice thing to be implemented if it hasn't been done and can be done.

I don't know if this is what you have in mind, but I use TeslaLED: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.flashlight&feature.. It has a widget you can add to the homescreen for a quick on off, as well as some other features. I actually have it as one of my lock screen apps. I wish there was a way to have it turn on when opened from the lockscreen, but it's only one extra tap.
Edit: Gah! John beat me to one.
PS: TeslaLED is only 512K, whereas Tiny Flashlight is anything but at 1.5M

- true music controls on the lock screen instead of using the notification controls
sent from my LGOG
My biggest things are center clock, ability to hide things on status bar, and a flashlight toggle. The Base has done pretty well but I would love a flashlight toggle in my quick settings in my notification drawer. The swipe for flashlight thing was so touchy that I disable it.
Also, I love the theme chooser app and ability to have easy themes for my ROMs like in CM10 and AOKP
EDIT: also the ability to boot straight into download and recovery mode like in certain other ROMs using the power button.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
The Base ROM does have a flashlight built in, you can activate it in the notification drawer options.
I was using Tesla until I found this.
Though I do wish it was in the Quick Settings too.
I would also love native reboot options.
And lastly, I would love the ability to link the notification volume with the ringer volume.
I know. The swipe thing only works half the time and half of that half, I end up with The Base force closes

I had actually forgot about this feature. I just tried it again and sometimes it takes three or four swipes to turn on. Might be user error though.
Swipe for torch works perfect for me.
Reboot options would be nice.
Volume Button Music controls would be nicer.
I actually came up with a wish while looking at the android dev section.
It doesn't actually have to do with the rom itself, but I'm hoping that as things become further developed to not only have a Changelog but to have a what's working list/what's not working list or just the latter.
I see a lot of threads gets bogged down with DOES THIS WORK? IS THIS INCLUDED?
Granted there's a group of people out there that don't read and just flash, but it could be helpful for another group of people that compare and contrast roms (like myself) before flashing.
Anyone else agree?

That makes sense to me. :thumbup: I wonder if xda could get a ROM form together so all the devs can include all the same info in their ROM's thread's OP. I don't know how practical that would be, but it would be nice to have some standardization.

That is a pretty cool idea.
But from what I've seen, most ROM posts actually follow a pretty basic design.
We seem to be the odd ones out.

Gotta be the best first post in this forum.
As for the topic, XDA app and L/Nova Launcher.
I stream a lot of music and have the phone in my pocket. I was used to changing the track by holding volume key on my OnePlus. The G4 didn't allow this, so I found an app that works with Google Music player.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.volbtntrackctrl&hl=en
It's double tap instead of long press. I guess we'll have to wait for root for long press. The only issue is the first tap raises the volume, but I can deal with that.
I like wave launcher give me access to 5 apps from any screen easily and fast

Yes, I must agree. Great browser and fast
I am using a tracking app named Best Cell Phone Tracking App . It is the a good app for tracking other devices. Like track fmaily, friends etc.
My favorite app is Swipe Navigation. It works excellent & fast with the LG G4 and gives me full-screen everywhere, a experience without soft-navigation buttons. I'm one of those who never really get along with the soft-nav buttons taking up alot of screen space.
Only problem is that root is needed... but its totally worth it. One of the great reasons to root!

Hey got a G4 myself recently, so the first thing i did is to make my app compatible with it, including DualView support
So if someone needs a more geeky app for using the IR-transmitter of the G4 instead of QuickRemote feel free to try my app Its mostly compatible to LIRC, has Database and can export IR codes
Since i saw that the G4 has a learning feature - I'm planning to add learning-feature as soon as i figure out how it works (If someone would like to help with this just drop a line ). For link see signature
My personal favourite is Camscanner. I did a small video on it to show how it works
