Hi guys! Yesterday night I flashed Zaaap's CM 11 with Cyanogenmod Extended kernel on my D620r. Today I tried to use the QuickWindow cover and I expected it wouldn't have worked but... It worked! The cover locks the phone when closed and unlocks it when opened. It also has the window with date, battery and wheater which shows when I press the power button while cover closed. But, as you can see in my picture, the window is moved to the right, and I don't know how to adjust it since there isn't any option about the cover in Settings. What shall I do?

I'm used to my Nokia 808 which allows for the Camera button to jump directly to Camera mode even when the phone is locked. With the S4 Zoom I have to hit power once, swipe then long press camera button. I was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to assign the Camera button to launch Camera app even when locked? I'm sure there must be a button app out there than can be mapped to do this?
ANyone?
Cheers,

Haven't heard about this. The fastest way is setting a camera shortcut on lockscreen.

there is an option when you swipe the lockscreen the camera open automatic.

I saw that option, but it's not really ideal, sometimes I just want to use the phone as a phone and not a camera, closing down camera everytime is annoying.
The Nokia 808 worked by long press on camera button and straight to camera (even if locked), or you could swipe screen etc and use the phone like a phone. This was ideal for all circumstances.
Right now I have set to have no lock screen and then just hit the power button once and then long press of camera to get going, but I would prefer just to set the camera shutter button to launch Camera at any time (other than device being powered off).
Perhaps there is a button remapping app?
Spooky!
I had the same thought this afternoon - not actually sure why, was just in an idle moment!
It would be a good and sensible option to have but I've got no answer, other than to have a link on your home screen or just long press the camera button after inputting your PIN code.

I just bought the official Galaxy S4 Zoom case. It has one of those screen flip covers. I noticed when you pull the flip back to access the phone it automatically comes on, therefore once you press the camera button after this yer straight in.
Now i don't know how the flip cover works, whether it's like slightly magnetic and sends a signal etc, but this idea dawned on me...
If you had a simply cheap silicone case (or a screen protector) and had yer S4Z facing down on the desk, when you picked it up and turned it over it would automatically come on, then you press the camera button to launch the camera. That might work. Of course if it's in your pocket then that might not work...
Unfortunately the official case obscures the battery compartment and microsdcard slot, but worst of all the tripod mount! I could live with the others being covered but not the tripod mount. I'm going to attempt to drill a hole in the right location for the tripod mount... wish me luck!
Hello all,i'm using a 16Gb N9 WiFi only version,i'm on 5.1.1 stock rooted,mainly for AdAway use...I've been experiencing wierd issues for the last week or so,when either double tapping the screen,which doesn't seem to work 100% as has been until now.
What's more, i'm using a Moko Flip Case and flipping the cover doesn't always work as well.These are not concerning by themselves but despite which way i try to use to turn on the screen (double tapping,opening the cover,pushing power button) when the screen turns on and i swipe to unlock then immediately the screen turns off ,no matter how many tries i try to swipe to unlock,it turns off thus making a need for rebooting mandatory....
Has anyone else experienced this? Should i factory reset the tablet or is there a fix,mainly for the last part..Thanks for taking the time to read this!
Workaround
It has been happening ever since upgrade to 5.1.1. Reboot fixes it but is annoyance. I tried wiping cache and factory reset, but the issue still persists. The easiest solution is to left swipe on the camera to open the camera app, then use the back button to come back to login screen. This time around the pattern will work.

Does the problem go away when you take off the flip case? If so, put it back on and see whether you can make the screen go black depending on how you fold the case behind the tablet. If it's one of those three-part covers, flip the case to the back, then flip the outer third over once more - does that turn off the screen? The screen turns off when the magnets on the case and on the N9 are aligned, and this can also happen with the case flipped to the back.

Indeed it does go away without the case, I do have one of these three part covers. It works fine when the cover is on the back but I left for a business trip and left the cover at home at the moment. I'll definitely try when I get back! Thanks for the info!!
Sorry I was busy and didn't have time to check xda... Thanks both for your answers!!
My wife is having this same problem with the Nexus 9 I got her for her birthday... I got it with the official keyboard case, but when the problem starts happening, it continues to happen even when the tablet is completely removed from and separated from the case. I also tried running the camera from the lockscreen, returning to the lockscreen, and trying to unlock the tablet without success. She is just using the slide to unlock screen without any security.
weird...lucky mine doesn't do this...or knock on wood, hasnt yet lol
i have double tap to wake up tablet option from eX kernel and i also use a passcode unlock screen and i also have a moko type magnetic case...everything is fine for me(so far...)
ot: what lockscreen app passcode app works so that when u enter 4digits u DON"T have to press the enter key to get in...i hate having to press the enter
in iOS iphone u just need to enter 1 2 3 4 <unlocks> goes to homescreen
stock android : enter 1 2 3 4 ENTER key then it unlocks
Hello there,
Well I think everything is in the topic, but a lil' background is never useless
I got a good old Galaxy S4 mini (second edition, with the quad core cpu). I wanted to have the feel of a new phone so I installed Lineage OS 14.1 (the only stable custom rom for my phone), I like it mostly but there are a couple of things that makes it annoying.
One of them is that I liked on the samsung to unlock it fast, meaning, when the phone is locked (screen off), I press the home button, the screen switches on, and I can directly type the PIN code to unlock the phone. From the Lineage settings you can set it up so that the PIN tab loads directly (actually you prevent the lock screen from loading), but you get nothing else from this screen ! No notification, no battery life, not even time....
Basically, I'd like to have all in one lockscreen because I don't like to swipe and lose time, I don't have much notifications, so a screen with half PIN pad and half time/notifications (maybe wdiget) would be perfect ! The ideal would also be not to have to press OK when entering the PIN code, you enter the X valid characters and this is it.
What lockscren would you advise me to test ?
Sorry, just upping the thread, it never appeared on first page as it was moved from an other section of the forum.
I hope someone will know about a lockscreen that would fit my needs
Hello,
Unfortunatel my device seems to have some kind of malfunction.
The Issue is that the devices suddenly locks andd just shows the clock.
I can`t unlock it. After a while it might show the normal screen and I can unlock it.
Then the clock comes back and I can`t do anything.
I reinstalled with wipe all everthing however after a while it will come back.

Any help is appreciated
Check for smart cover option in smart assistance
Turn it off. The pic you posted comes when you use flip cover (when closed )
Have u applied any sceen protector covering upper right (nr front cam) side of screen it may cause this
There a proximity sensor and one other idnt know name but it should be uncovered when using phone.
Or the sensor is misbehaving.

That may be smart cover problem
I've bought this phone around february/march 2018. I've been using an LOS 15.1 unofficial rom last updated april/june which has been working perfectly, no problem besides no VoLTE but i don't mind this.
I booted the phone into recovery (longpressing power button, then selecting with touchscreen the "reset option". It turned and then couldn't select any button via touchscreen. The phone reseted itself by the first time and got into this! Now touchscreen don't work (so i can't turn it off -it just restart when I longpress for 5 secs the power button), can't unlock it because I set it to ask me the pin on every reboot..
As a sidenote, the phone fell of my desk like 2 months ago, and changed it's entire screen tile (the LED and the glass) for another one because the original one got shattered and made the device unusable. I'm thinking it's a malfunction of this module (or maybe something disconnected? Is this possible)
Anyway, tomorrow i'm going to ask the guy who changed it for help. BUT, is there any other possible fix guys? Or a hard keys combination to completely turn it off so I don't get more messages and save battery?
Thanks a lot!
Just flash stock MIUI via adb n it will work ?
