Hi, I want to ask is there a way to change the camera button function? I mean, instead of opening default camera app, I want it to open camera zoom fx. I tried making it the default camera app but when I click on the camera button, it didn't ask which app should be the main app. I tried freezing the default camera app with titanium backup and it worked but the camera button won't work when the screen is locked.
Edit: I made a mistake unknowingly creating this thread here, I mean this in Xperia S Q&A forum. Can someone move it please? Or should I make another thread there? Thanks
check the settings> applications> all> choose the default camera sony> clear default
hopefully this can help you
Thanks for your reply, I'll get back to you later when I get my phone back from SC.

My Evo 3D always started the standard Camera when I pressed the dedicated shutter button. Now I installed Camera Effects, and it starts that one instead of the HTC Camera.
Normally, I have a choice which one I want to start, and I can choose a standard one. But this time, it just picked Camera Effects...
I already went to the app, to disable the 'standard' features, but the button was greyed out.
How do I get the HTC Amaze camera back as default camera?
Go to manage applications and wipe that apps defaults.

As I said, the button is greyed out...
I am using MikRunny 1.01, but that shouldn't be the problem.

Check the main(stock) camera app in Manage applications and CLEAR THE DEFAULTS.
Do the same in any other camera app you may have installed. Clear defaults.
Then when you press the camera button, it should ask which youd like to execute by default.
Its the same idea as if you had multiple browsers installed, for example on my nexus s. I press the browser icon in the launcher dock and it will ask me which to launch and whether I want to set it as default.
It normally asks me wether I want to make the app standard or not, but this time, I didn't.
All the defaults are already cleared, so I don't know what to do...
Sometimes it starts the normal camera app, but when I do it again, it opens Camera Effects... It's very odd...
Hmm, that's weird. I installed Default App manager, and it tells me that I don't have a default app set for the Camera.
So now I fixed it by making the Camera as default, via the Default App Manager.
This thread can be closed!
Thanks for the help!
Edit: Nope, can't be closed.
Still not fixed.
Camera is now default app, but it stÃll starts the other app...
I guess I'll just delete it.
Figured I'd post this here. Worked perfectly for me.
I have Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2. and have not rooted (and don't intend to do so). I decided to buy Camera Zoom FX apps (was on sale). I think it's better (though a bit slow at times) and more versatile. I wanted to make it my default camera app and there was on option for that in the app's settings. However, when I try to quick access the camera via lock screen by tapping and rotating, the stock camera app is opened. Doesn't this mean that the default camera app is still the stock camera app?
I've tried to solve this issue by reading the forums. Some people are saying that after I have selected Camera Zoom FX as default camera app in the app's settings, Jelly Bean should ask me to select the default camera app when I open the camera app. It does not do so. The other solution mentioned was to go Settings -> Application Manager -> All and the choose the camera app and tap "Clear defaults". However, this option is greyed out/disabled and cannot be tapped.
Could this all mean that without rooting Jelly Bean does not give the user the option to change the default camera app?
Help would be appreciated.
you might try this

i dont know this might work or not but you could try disabling the default camera from settings>apps>all apps> camera>force stop and then disable
since you phone isnt rooted this only the best which you could do
I suggest you put the Camera Zoom Fx on you lockscreen and launch it directly from there. Samsungs hold-rotate feature is a sure fire way of eventually dropping your phone.
I have 3 cameras on my lockscreen. Stock, Camera FV-5 and HDR Pro.
My current situation is that I have a phone with 2 camera apps on it, stock and camera FV-5.
Camera FV-5 is slower than the stock camera, so I only use it in situations which I need manual control.
Whenever I open whatsapp and try to send a photo, the app asks me which camera I want to use, with no option to always use stock. I don't want camera FV-5 to exist as an option, as I will open it if I want to use it.
Is there a way to remove an app from the list so that my phone does not recognise camera FV-5 as a camera?
Thanks
George

The problem with whatsapp is that there is no 'always' option when selecting an app.

my last solution, you have to disable(not uninstall) camera FV-5 from setting menu, if you running on android 4.0/up
from menu, choose setting>applications>camera FV-5, klik force stop then disable it, and you want to use it again, just enable it again, don't worry about the data you have been saved on camera FV-5, you won't lose it..
Not what I'm looking for, but thanks a lot for your reply
Hi guys,
Just came across "Open Camera" app and love it. I am struggling to make it the default Camera App in my phone, so that when I press the Sony Side Camera button it opens the "Open Camera" instead of the stock Sony app. Also, once Open Camera is open, I would like to be able to use the side camera button as shutter, which currently does not work.
Possible? Any instructions on how to do it?
Thanks in advance!
I'm using open camera too and everything works after I froze the default camera app but I'm on RR, not stock. Are you rooted? If yes freeze the default camera using any root app manager. If not, check if you can disable the camera app using adb.
Also check if you have the option 'disabled apps' in developer settings. I can't recall if it exists on stock firmware.
Root and install some xposed modules like "xposed additions" or Music buttons.
Freeze the stock camera and remap the camera button
Hello, I picked up my device and upgraded to 12.5.5 EU rom with regular OTA. Couple of questions where I couldn't find answers with Google.
1. Stock camera app does not remember the setting for 4K30 in Video settings. I select 4K30 but next time I open the app the setting goes back to 1080p30. Anyone has this issue?
2. Is there a way to set Google Photos as default photo app in stock camera app instead of Gallery?
3. I use app drawer but the phone keeps adding newly installed apps to the home screen. There was a toggle for this but couldn't find it in settings. Any ideas?
So far seems like a nice device. Good size and lightweight. I will install BSG Gcam on it but I still would like to use Stock camera for videos.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Also make sure battery optimization is on and app not allowed to run in background (unless needed of course). Some apps/processes are also called by other apps. Ultimately root is the way to go if you want full control.
Hello, manisa 236!
First I want to apologize for my English. I am still learning it. In this post I will try to answer some of your questions.
1. Stock camera app does not remember the setting for 4K30 in Video settings. I select 4K30 but next time I open the app the setting goes back to 1080p30. Anyone has this issue?
Open the stock camera app and go to settings, scroll down and activate "Save previous mode" slider.
2. Is there a way to set Google Photos as default photo app in stock camera app instead of Gallery?
I don't know it that is possible.
3. I use app drawer but the phone keeps adding newly installed apps to the home screen. There was a toggle for this but couldn't find it in settings. Any ideas?
Go to "Settings --> Home screen" and open the inside menu cold again "Home screen" and at the bottom of this menu you shall see the option "Place new apps on the Home screen" toggle. Just disable it.
Greetings from Spain!
Thank you very much for your answers. In camera app Save Previous Mode remembers the shooting mode (Photo, Video, Portrait etc ) but when I choose 4K30 under Video and open the app next time it still defaults to 1080p30. It looks like a bug.
