Quick window feature - G2 General

Hi!
Does someone know about this feature?
I was very excited when i found it
Now want to share it with you.
Yes to activate just hold the volume down button.
I really wonder why peole don't know about it)))
It's cool feature, but useless, because quality of pictures is low(
I hope LG will add new features to our smartphone after the g3:highfive:

Woah :/ never seen that before... Anyone know how he did that?

I'm thinking it's the same as just holding the volume down rocker to activate camera, but with the quick view case.

Yeah I knew it, it's an awesome feature, sadly no video rec haha.

[REQ] [MOD] Remove camera lock!

Can some developer make a flashable mod to remove the damn camera lock. I hate when I use my camera and hit the lock button and throw it in my pocket only to discover 4 hours later that the screen was on and my battery is dead.
Thanks!

What about a camera app that would take pics with power button and let you take pictures with less than 5% battery?
Head over to i9000 themes and apps . Is there somewhere

This is EXACTLY 100% what I want. To remove the battery lock and to use the Power button to snap shots. I would love to know where this is for our phones.

It's pretty easy to get rid of the camera being disabled when there is low battery, I think I modified one line in the "AbstractCameraActivity.smali".
However, the camera lock issue involves a little more work. I was actually attempting to change the power button from locking it to it being the same as hitting the shutter button, but I was stubborn and didn't like the results. I had it working, but the code for it wasn't pretty enough for me

[Q] Volume up and down button functions

Hi, I have a sg2 uk version with firmware ke7 (last one) with no root. I read some tips and tricks for this wonderful phone. I was trying one of these but it doesn't work. The tip is, while you're writing an SMS or writing something in the browser for example, you can use the volume up and down buttons to move the cursor if you have to correct some mistake for example, but this tip doesn't work! If I press these buttons obviously volume increase or decrease...can you try on your own galaxy to let me know what could be the problem? Maybe some app can cause this problem?
are you confusing sg2 with the lg O2x. you should try the features thread.

In his vid he took a screenshot holding the power and vol down, that didn't work for me at all. I can still take a screenshot using the old method, power and home button...odd.

[APP] Capacitive button notifications

Thought I'd share. For those of you that are looking for an alternative to the power button LED for missed notifications, XDA just featured an app called Buttonled by GermainZ. Basically, it turns your hard buttons into your led.
Thanks to ewcrider, if you prefer the red power button LED in place of the capacitive buttons, use the first file path on the list, led:red, instead of button-backlight/brightness.
Been using it for a couple hours and it's working great, so far.
Make sure to enable in accessibility.
Find the apk and give all thanks to GermainZ at the link below.

This should also be able to control the power button LED if you desire.

Thanks I'll try that. Btw checking the app under aspect ratio correction makes it fullscreen I discovered.

I really like the red. Changing the flash intervals works with this app so I'm happy as a clam now. Couldn't stand the long off delay or whatever it's called, haha.
I saw this in the XDA Twitter feed. It's exactly what I've been looking for.

After my second install I no longer get a laggy app. Might help you too?
Wow amazing find. Thanks for sharing.
Here is how I set it up, if anyone wants to know. This works just like BLN.
Pick the /sys/devices/platform/msm_ssbi.0/pm8921-core/pm8xxx-led/button-backlight/brightness PATH. (Should be the second one)
I set Turn LED on for 7200 (Which, if my math doesn't suck, should be two hours.)
Then I set Turn LED off for 0
Finally I hit, Enable ButtonLED in accessibility. (This took a while to pull up, I recommend doing it yourself through the settings)

Can you clarify a little more what that does. I figure it leaves the backlight on for two straight hours?

That's about it. Basically, if I am awake I will see if there is a notification within the two hours. But if I'm asleep I don't want the capacitive LEDs on for the whole 8 or so hours I sleep. I also don't want them to pulse or turn off if there is a notification. Two hours just seemed like a good medium.

[HOW TO] Enable soft keys on Droid DNA CM10.1

THIS INCLUDES MODIFYING BUILD.PROP AND SYNAPTICS-RMI-TOUCHSCREEN.KL SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKUPS!!
I thought i might share this to everyone since i tested it and it works nicely for me so far
1) Go to your build.prop using root explorer or any app that allows access to system files
2) Go to the bottom of the file, and enter the following without the quotes "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP IN CASE SOMETHING DOESNT WORK OUT)
3) Find "Synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl" located at (system>usr>keylayout) that controls the capacitive keys. Delete everything by editing it with a text editor
4) Reboot and you should have softkeys with the capacitive ones disabled
*I used this app http://goo.gl/JUWqs to disable the capacitive lights*
**If you wish to kepp the capacitive keys enabled skip step 3**
**to Reverse this just replace the build.prop with your backup and replace your Synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl with your backup**
Enjoy
This would be great in conjunction with enabling some gestures in the capacitive area a la WebOS

Okay, so on any jelly bean device with soft keys, pushing up from the home soft key brings up a little ring with google now on it. Is there any way to enable this functionality with the hardware keys? It's kind of weird having both hardware and soft keys but I really like this functionality.
Any way to shrink the height of the nav bar? It's a bit too tall for my liking.

That's odd. I was able to disable the lights. I have my PAC-Rom on Phablet mode. The app allowed me to shut them off and I was wondering, now that we got soft keys, I kinda want to cover the capacitive light with like, tape or something so I don't have to constantly look at them. haha, did any of you guys do anything to cover them or were just like whatever about it?
