Not sure if it's something I inadvertently broke, but when my UK XQ-BC52 61.1.A.2.211 (Android 12) is locked, I can't get into the Photo Pro app by holding the shutton button. It just opens up the lock screen asking me to unlock the phone.
Double pressing the power button does still work though.
My phone has an unlocked bootloader and is running Magisk.
Just another A12 bug?
Is it just Sony's confusing mess? Opening the camera with the power button is a system setting while the shutter button is an application setting in Photo Pro and Cinema Pro. Maybe the Photo Pro has no background permission and can't see the button presses.
Ah, just figured it out. Turns out it was caused by me removing the camera shortcut from the lockscreen with XPERI+. Resetting the Right shortcut got the shutter button working properly again.

Hello together
I have a little problem with my HD2. I have the Goatrip 6 ROM installed with Cookie´s Home Tab 2.0 and S2U2 2.43. The problem is that S2U2 don´t lock the long press end key.
There is a not choosable option in S2U2 2.43. "Don´t lock long press end key"
I need a program who locks the long press end key similar with the lockscreen. Do anybody know a program? Thanks for your help.
I don't think it is possible.
The normal/official rom lock (with the slider or hd mini version) doesn't lock it either.
It's probably something to do with that key being the power key, that it will have priority over everything else to allow you to power off. All keys are able turn the screen on, but long press send key doesn't work while locked, maybe because it's a hack and not standard.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think u could remove it by closing Endkey.exe.... But u cannot block it just for S2U2...
Hi,
I am using Widgetlocker because of the ability to unlock with the keys on the side of the Atrix (volume keys).
But after unlocking the screen it is impossible to immediately use the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone.
What is the correct setup to get Widgetlocker unlock the phone.
Expected behavior:
1 The screen is dark
2 Press the Volume key to have the Widgetlocker-Screen visible
3 Swipe the finger [not working]
4 Phone is unlocked [not working]
Currently I have to press the Back button after step 2 to see the Motorola/Atrix Unlock screen (where I can swipe the finger and unlock), which is annoying.
Any ideas? Thanks for any input.
Sounds like you just have conflicting lock screens. I would try lockbot it disables the system lock.

Thanks for your feedback, was checking on the market.
But as far as seen no Vol. Key support - instead I have to shake it (probably as well not the best way in business)...
I use No Lock. This allows me to wake my phone with the volume rocker rather than the power button..which I prefer. If I'm going out and about somewhere I feel like I want the fingerprint scanner on..I simply turn the lock back on.
Even though WidgetLocker doesn't prompt you to swipe your finger it should stil accept it. Can you confirm you're trying this?
I have a beta that improves reliability of using the fingerprint scanner. Let me know by email if you'd like to try the beta.
Hi,
I can confirm that it sometimes works probably after I started the phone.
But later it is not possible (at least for me), so my question was what are the correct settings to get this behaviour. I would like to check - if it's my fault.
If it works - you are right - only swipe and it's unlocked.
But the usual way is that it is not working, so I have no chance I have to press the back button (to get the stock lock screen where swipe is possible).
Thanks for your help.
I'm currently on a D851 G3 stock rooted MM, I've enabled long-press action on nav-bar however, after I press and hold the home button to turn off the screen then unlocking the screen, open an app and press home button to back to homescreen (here is the problem), it won't, you need to press once again to make it happen I mean I have to press twice to make it back to home, the problem just occurs once right after unlocking my phone. Btw, there is no problem at all after I turn off Long-press action so I assumes there is a minor bug with this greenify function on my phone. Just a small issue but I hope someone can help me with it. Tks guys for reading
Hello,
it seems the option to double press the power button to launch the camera is not available on the Oppo.
Do you confirm, or did I miss it somewhere?
that's a pretty convenient feature I miss
There is just press and hold power key for 0.5 sec to get google assistant.
Yes found this one. Sad
Hi,
There is a camera shortcut in the right bottom corner of the lockscreen and you can activate the camera by making a O gesture when the phone is locked.
Oppo made some strange choices in the OS though. ColorOS, well at least the international version with Google backed in, isn't all that bad. But activating the camera is one of those things that is restricted. You can launch almost any app from the lock screen by gesture, but when it comes to the camera Oppo decided for you you have to draw a O. A simple swipe up would be a lot faster and the camera is one of those things you just need fast every now and then. Still the shortcut and O gesture work well enough in my opinion.
Hi, I am thinking of switching from Huawei P20 to S21. One feature which is very important to me is the ability to take a photo with buttons without unlocking the phone. With my P20, I have the ability to assign "double press the volume" button and it will take a photo immediately at the lock screen (I do not even need to press the power button to wakeup the phone). . Does Samsung S21 has similar features?
From my research, the closest I think I can do with S21 is ... "Double press the power button" to start the camera app, and then press volume down to take photo.. Is there a better alternative?
Samsung does not have a similar feature, but that sounds pretty sweet! You're right, best bet is to double tap power and hit volume to take picture.
