High brightness in new torch app [CM11] - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i don't know if this should be posted here, i was looking for a cyanogenmod dedicated subforum, but here it goes anyway:
I'm using the latest temasek's rom based on CM11 (But this happen in all the cm11 roms) and i can't find the 'high brightness' option in the torch app. I used to have that option active in the old days, and the flashlight bright awesome, but the default bright is kinda low.
fyi, i google this problem but i don't found answers, thanks.

funny, just posted today the same question in temasek cm11 thread. thought the option could be blocked because of some settings, but it really seems to be removed for security reasons.
but I don't really care for that (have used it for long time in past and never had any problems), I simply replaced the torch.apk with an older one from an old nightly (with the old design) and now I have high brightness back.

for me it worked. one page after this post, I posted a flashable zip version of it, maybe this one works for you.
btw. on temasek ROM it is not needed anymore as high brightness mode is included again in the normal torch app.

[mod] AOSP camera with external SD card saving

Well, as the title says, this is for an aosp camera that can save to your external SD card
Link:
http://prshosting.org/ftp/External_Storage_Camera.zip
Just flash the zip in recovery.
I used the camera before this and the location under gallery -> 3 dots -> details was "/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/ and after pushing the new apk (now made to a flashable as seen above) the location of a new picture is "/storage/sdcard1/DCIM/Camera/" You can toggle between storage options by clicking the bottom right icon in the camera, middle settings icon, right settings icon, and selecting storage at the top.
I could not have done this alone. I found a modded version from a Galaxy S2 thread for a CM ROM and tore it apart to figure out what was changed. All credit goes to the developers of Revolt JB ROM 3.2/JellyBam Rom. It's also thanks to ivanceci here on XDA for his thread that i found the gallery2.apk that he pulled from the listed ROMs. His thread can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2139794 Don't forget to thank him and the dev's on those ROM's if possible
I have tested this on DU and it works great. It SHOULD work on any aosp (cm, aokp, etc) based ROM, but don't hold it to me if it doesn't
​
I gotta say I'm surprised people aren't all over this lol. Oh well
prshosting.org
This is great!! I am currently running SlimBean and the option is already there but this is the reason I am staying away from the 4.4 camera. It didn't have external SD saving support, and that is where I want my pictures. Either way, great work here. Is this the 4.4 AOSP Camera?

I have no idea and no way to test it. Feel free to try it, just make sure you have some sort of back up in case things go wrong.

I can't find the toggle to switch to internal storage. I clicked as described and its not there.
edit: i had to disable the old camera and reboot and then it worked. Thanks, looks good.

How did you enable it on CM 11? I flashed the file, but can't find where to switch the storage location.

I froze the built in apps and rebooted. Not sure if necessary, but it didn't give me the option before I did that.

Sound Search (Google Ears) widget unable to add

I cannot solve this problem. The Sound Search widget doesn't appear in the widgets list in 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 (using love4k21's build, or rogersb11's build). I tried installed CM 10.1.3, and sure enough, I can add it no problem there. Other people seem to be able to add it with those builds. No idea why I'm unable to. I think actually the last time I was able to add it was when I was using an official CM build (10.2). Once I switched to non-official builds, it disappeared. Any ideas?
search
I know the widget you are talking about. Why it is missing, I have no clue. Pressing the search button (on the bottom right) should have the same functionality. You could also just add a voice search shortcut instead of the widget.
If you really really want it without installing a newer rom, use the google now launcher. By default it is on the home screen.

What launcher are you using? I just tried it with nova launcher on SlimSaber and it worked just fine.

Normal Trebuchet in CM. Let me try installing that launcher and see what happens.

I know. I tried to make it very clear which app I'm referring to, since others have made the same mistake in the past. Not sure why burrito didn't get it.
I installed the Nova launcher, and am able to add Sound Search. So this is a problem specifically with Trebuchet. Thank you for this development.

[APP] Camera+ Stock Moto Camera w/ extra features (Updated 3/2/15)

***Disclaimer*** THIS IS NOT MY WORK, I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS APP, NOR AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE. USE AT OWN RISK****
Hello all! This is the modded Moto Camera+ with extra features available. Tested on my Moto X 2014 VZW. Working 100%. I have made this my default Camera
This is the orignal thread, PLEASE THANK THE OP!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/how-to-unlock-advanced-camera-settings-t2884035
This app will NOT remove the stock Camera, you will still have a fully working stock Camera if you install this.
To use extra features install Camera+, swipe out option ring from the left side, there will be a Ladybug icon on the bottom right, click that to reveal new menu.
Installation:
Download APK
Click on APK and install as a normal app
* Turning off the Wavelet noise option does the trick of reducing some noise to the captured images.
Please hit Thanks button if this worked/helped and please thank OP in OT!
*Update* (3/2/15) user @romracer has uploaded a modded version of 5.0.11.7 Please test it out and report back. Also thank him. His post can be found on page 4, post #32. After I get some user feedback that this version is working 100% I will update OP with the link/apk. Enjoy!

I've used this and it works well, there is a flashable zip of this floating around. I didn't make I can post a link to it if anyone wants. It also has the lollipop gallery and updated icons.
Well for us VZW users a flashable zip wont help since we are not rooted. I linked the OT for anyone who wants to use the zip. No need to post here, it will just confuse users.

I installed this last week and disabled the original stock camera. It works perfect.

600 views, 1 Thanks. Gotta love XDA ?
cool. thanks for this. would help more though if i knew what most of these options did.
Looks awesome. How did you set it as the default camera with twist to launch? @TokedUp

would also like to know this but i don't think its possible. not without root anyway.
Yeah I don't think it works. I never use it since we have the short cut on the lock screen. The option is in the settings but it probably won't work unless the app is added to system/app folder, which would require root. I really wish we get root soon for vzw
Mmm. I can't install this apk. Rooted cm unofficial.
Any suggestion?
Thats weird. First time I heard someone with a problem. I just installed as a regular APK. Try moving it to system/app, fix perms and reboot.
You could also try the newer version of the Moto stock camera found in this same forum.

Is no one else concerned about the "post all pictures to public google+ page" option that is enabled by default???!!
Needless to say I uninstalled it immediately.

Nightly CM 12.1 (MT2-L03) Camera Flashlight?

I just upgraded my phone with this amazing ROM but I see that the default camera has no flash , any ideas?
A good idea would probably be to post this in the CM Nightlies thread. Those guys are very helpful over there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/asc...nt/preview-cyanogenmod-mate-2-mt2l03-t3181518
Yeah, that thread will be better. But anyway, in the right bottom of camera app, there is 3 dot, it will open settings, does it flash if you set it to force flash? Meaning a lightning icon without A.
I've been running CM Nightlies for about 3-4 versions. No flash issues at all. Works fine for me. On 08/28/2012 right now.

Thanks for the replies, I saw the flashlight does not work when the HDR mode is activated, however, removing the HDR you can take pictures with flash without problems.

How come there aren't any ROMs yet?

You would think this being a Pixel device that there would be tons of ROMs but there's nothing out yet and the development page looks barren. I'm waiting on lineage but who knows when that will be available if ever

Check the 3 XL forums. There are some custom roms including LOS 16 which is reported to also work on the 3.

Can't post the links here for DU. Just do a google search for "dirty unicorns blueline" and it will be one of the first links. The instructions are there. Just make sure you use the blueline twrp version or you'll run into install errors. I had the crosshatch version installed and learned that the hard way. Good luck.

IMO the main reason for the lack of custom roms is that the stock rom is pretty good as is

Agreed. There are just a few tweaks that I miss on stock that the custom roms have. Other than that, stock has been fine for me.
