I just realised a new Android update had removed the ability to access the camera via the lock screen's hold and tilt feature. Why would Google do such a thing? I thought Google were actually improving Android at one point and now they're removing stuff. Anyone know how to get it back or an app that will help return this feature?

Hi there,
I was wondering If anyone out there knows of an apps to locks the phone. Im new on this and what I'm looking for is something to replace the unlock swipe screen that came with the phone. I want something like a numeric keypad as a lock / unlock application.
Samsung Vibrant
thanks
Do you want a different option for a pattern lock?
I searched and didn't find anything. My brother has a numeric lock for his Nexus, but that's a CM feature.
I don't think they're out yet. If you find one in the market chances they won't work because of TouchWiz and you would have to be rooted.
Thanks for your quick response to my question.I am kind of new on this and yes what I want is a numeric keypad instead of a pattern.
once again thank you !!
Hello everyone! I know this is a small gripe but does anyone know how to change the gallery setting so that the pictures start from "newest --> to oldest"?
It was like that on the Vibrant before the 2.2 update, and now it has reversed.
Its kind of annoying to have to scroll all the way to the end when you want to show someone something-- but at least is opens faster!!
One of the things I like about the MoPho is a dedicated camera button. I find it convenient to be able to quickly access my camera.
However, I am not able to access the camera very quickly, considering that I must still unlock my phone with a slide of the finger to be allowed into the camera app.
Is is possible to mod the phone so that the camera button would bypass the lock screen?
I apologize if this is a much-asked question that I should know the answer to already. I searched and couldn't find an answer.
Thanks for the advice. I will check on that when I can spend $1.99 for the app.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Another option is to use Agile Lock. It gives you a Sense 3.0 like lockscreen and you can program one of the buttons for the camera. It is free and doesn't require root.
Alternatively, what I do with Widgetlocker is have the 2nd swipe tab be a shortcut to my camera. I had this setup back on the Evo when I didn't have a dedicated camera button. Therefore just turn the screen on, swipe to go straight to Camera, and you're in business.
Still not an ideal one-click solution, but it worked well enough for me.
Hi, I've searched the forums but haven't found anything similar to my issue. We have a very non-popular android device at work..the Intermec CN51, running 4.2.2. This question would probably apply to any device though: is there any way to manipulate the api to disable Google now but keep the microphone function enabled? More detail: because these devices are government-specific, they are pretty locked down. However, certain screen swipes, such as swiping up on the lockscreen, causes the Google Now icon to appear instead of unlocking the screen. I was able to disable Google Now services to get rid of that function. This allows the end user to swipe up, down, whatever, and the lockscreen would unlock. However, this also disabled the microphone on the keyboard. Is there any code or configuration to prevent the microphone from disabling or not displaying? Thanks!
Hey folks
This toolbar popped up recently (for some reason this site won't let me add a screens hot to this thread).
It has icons for CPU BATTERY Flashlight Settings and Boost.
I don't know how where or why I got it.
I used Malwarebytes. It disappeared.
It came back again today. I deleted the flashlight app...
for now the "new" toolbar has gone.
I would like to regain the flashlight app if I can.
Phone is Samsung S5
Android version 6.0.1
Any advice or help greatly appreciated and why can't I attach screens hot from phone to this thread? It keeps asking for URL of image.
Thanks
