Reasons

@RichAP your efforts are well appreciated as you did actually try to find a solution and not just bring reasons for 'why you shouldn`t use this feature', however I`ve come across the same question as the person who started the topic and I thought I`d give a more detailed explanation of what is the app he is looking for.

This could come quite handy to most users who may want to capture a picture close to 'instantly'. For example if you wanna challenge your camera`s ability to take a picture of a fast moving object such as your neighbor finally jumping off his house, having to put a password/pin/pattern would result in you missing the moment and you don`t want that. A better example is something which happened to me today. An idiot nearly drove into the car i was in, popped his head out of the window, started swearing at everyone and then drifts away. I wanted to take a picture of his number plate, in case anything would go sideways, but by the time i unlocked my phone he was long gone.

As the person who started the topic mentioned, this feature is available in iOS (i`ve seen it on iphone 4s about 2 months ago), but the security measures have been taken into account too; you can only take pictures, but you cannot view them unless you pass the security measures (therefore if your phone gets lost/stolen, whoever has it can only fill up your memory with pictures in the worst case scenario, but what`s that good for when you can`t access them ?). I personally hate apple with a passion, but this is the only feature i`ve come across which i couldn`t find on android yet. Of course now this is down to the developers if they are interested to implement this, i only showed under what circumstances you can use it. Oh and why does apple have it (and amazingly, doesn`t charge the users ridiculous amounts of money, it`s actually built-in the OS) and android doesn`t (even as a 3rd party app) is a good question, as apple never gives its users more than 1% on top of the very basic (for free).

I do apologize for jumping in quite late, however I just got a galaxy S3 3 weeks ago and I`ve just come across this today. If anyone found an alternative or something which is already on the market, may I please ask how do i find it ? Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sanyokt4j:
I'm sure with the 4.2 update you can take pictures even when the phone has a pattern/pin lock, or at least I can on the paranoid 2.99 beta9 rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] allelujah:
You can do that in 4.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Anyone realize the last reply is 6 months ago, which means there is no 4.2.....................................................................
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meenavin:
I dont think its a good idea to enable camera without unlocking the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nnnnn1:
I can't seem to find this feature anywhere in the 4.1.2 change log, and I've been playing around with the phone since 4.1.2 and I haven't discovered nothing similar to this. Would anyone mind telling me how to enable it if it is built in the OS?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] a2441918:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chazy chaz:
it's very stable (but ugly as hell compared to other ROMs)

xLoud & Bravia are not working for me

i think i'm gonna stick with Mokee & Loze
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] championswimmer:
y so many chinese rom ports ???
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Aoi_sora9x:
He's trying to be useful I guess...But honestly speaking I will kill myself before I install any of these ROMs. They all strive to mimic the iPhone UI to a certain degree... and I really hate them for that.

/personal view.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] maikinho10:
I would give you 100000000000000 Thanks Button CHAMP!!!!

All Chinese ROMS not finished but soo much Chinese buggy OS PORT Roms released -.-
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chazy chaz:
yeah a lot of chinese UI, so what? Even Feravolt is preparing Lewa & MokeeOS, it brings diversity to our x10i, which is good before we only had MiUI that has a completely different UI, now we have many

maybe you don't like it, it remains a personal point of view, but a lot of users love those new experiences (which is far from being a copy of iPhone UI except for JoyOS) LozeOS has a unique UI that is very beautiful

at least it's what i think
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] twerg:
All these 'new' roms remind me to much of MiUi (which I love) and see to be too similar, and seem to borrow to much from other offerings, all mixes of CM, I see some images that look like Sony Ericsson styled apps etc. They dont seem to be unique in any way, whats the point? For some, on the face of it it just looks like a new launcher upon CM... dont know
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] a2441918:
This rom is not iphone ui
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] a2441918:
Coz it is easy to port.. The same procedure for all roms and it has a change in ui. Just for a change in ui
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] prioxxx:
Great job!Don't listen annoying posts.It's better to have many roms from nothing.It's a big change in our beloved X10.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] katak.bali:
please port FlymeOs from meizu mx..

it will be nice :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] a2441918:
tryin hard for it but in vain:(:(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] legzd2010:
&& it has rotation animation ;) the only REAL reason im waiting for CM9 xD.

does anyone think its possible to port the rotation animation to more stable roms, maybe MiUI?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] a2441918:
Do u mean like this??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] z28tovette:
I have not seen any moderators interfering , so leave him alone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mundy725:
+1

woooow , nice work again . go ahead ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] a.monteiro:
Achotjan's Semc Debrand Engine had rotation animation and it was based on cm7.2, so yes, it must be possible. Too bad he is abandoning the project.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
I can't help but posting here, because quite frankly I do not like the way you are treating somebody who is sharing his work with all of you.

If you don't like it, do not use it, do not even bother to read through the thread.

If you want to discuss the chinese ROMs phenomenon, kindly start a thread in Android General.

A little respect goes a long way...

Please proceed on topic.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zimmerAndy:
Very nice rom!

DAMN I really love this OS!!!!! I'M glad they are finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[mod edit] - do not use foul language and/or insulting remarks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Prodigy:
Don't you like diversity on our X10? Seeing all these new ports make me really happy. You contribute to the diversity and I respect you as a developer but you really shouldn't question any development we have here now, because every single one is precious.

Please keep your personal views to yourself, this is a dev thread, not your personal blog :)

@iridaki well said :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] botski:
Worked for locked bl?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] a2441918:
I have an unlocked bootloader only pal.. maybe if u flash an fxp kernel for locked bootloader chances are there it might work.. anyway try and report back pls

[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] crypysmoker:
Ive never once had a problem with facebook.... Is this a bug these tablets are supposed to have?
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Yes it has been troublesome for Android ICS 4.x, in general.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] nugordy:
Yeah, I prefer the friendcaster app, it's worked much smoother and you can make it light letters on dark backround which is easier on battery and eyes.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Raul69.atl:
Facebook stinks on this tablet....even on any browser it lags ...also u cant video chat from browser like pc
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] SilentStormer:
it is... *ahem* a tablet. Its not a PC.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Raul69.atl:
So... U should still be able to have a great browsing experience.

But google chrome new update works nicely...too bad it doesnt support flash :/

[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Zadeis:
Thank you for posting this! This is 10 times better than using Facebook in a browser or using the dreaded dedicated app!
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Spark1223:
I should warn you guys. Any app that is not THE facebook app will be suspect to facebook API privacy. That means if your friends have not changed default settings, or have setup facebook to not show info about them through the API, you won't be able to see certain things on their page, or be able to do anything with their page through this app. I noticed this first with the xbox 360 app, and then the friendcaster app. Some of my friends had no pictures at all. Just be aware of that.

How change H+ on 3G? Old code from SGS2 not working
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotarypower3:
Anyone found this yet?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circuit89:
3G has a maximum theoritical speed of 7.2Mbit/s. If the network you are connected on supports speeds higher than that, it changes to H/H+. By network, I mean the cellular tower that is connecting your phone to the network.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotarypower3:
The gsg II had a problem when switching from 3g/h/h+. My sgs III seems to have a similar problem so I want to lock it down to 3g and see if that helps like it did on the sgs II. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cryptiq:
My nexus is rooted and unlocked running stock 4.0.2, no custom ROMs. Received the 4.0.4 ota update this morning. Will it install if I let it, or do I need to follow the instructions that others used to do the early install of the update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dogunter:
I am just like you. I have the stock 4.0.2 that came with my phone but I've unlocked and rooted it. Received the upgrade notice this morning and said, "yes", but during reboot all I get is the android lying on its back with a red triangle and exclamation point. I have to pull the battery to reboot but then it only comes back in 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cryptiq:
Ok, that's what I expected. Sounds like we need to run the manual update. I'm in the process of packing and moving this weekend so I was hoping for an easy fix. Thx for your reply.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FellX:
hey there guys i once had the same problem when i was on stockrom with root:

It is simple : Do not do it! :)

Either U will get what is described above but atleast you will loose your root rights/ unlockes status.

To upate properly use ClockworkMod (App RomManager) and download an already unlocked version of the current update.

I recommend you to switch to a non stock rom hence u will not get these OTA notifications anymore which you may accept "by accident". Good ROms are CM9, Trickster, Paranoid, just haver a look in the dev section.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you did not change anything (other than root), you can install it no issue. However, if you have changed your radio, kernel, recovery, or any system file, then the update will not work.

Not however, that you need to install something like OTA Rootkeeper BEFORE you go through the update process, as you will lose root otherwise.

That is because you have something that is not stock 4.0.2, be it a kernel, radio, modified system file, recovery, etc.

An update does not affect the "unlocked status" as you say.

See my comments above about root.

You comments about switching to a non-stock ROM don't really make sense for someone who likes stock ROMs and wants to update...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Here you go, a rooted 4.0.4...

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/05/3...6k-build-for-galaxy-nexus-flash-over-any-rom/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
He is right, once upon a time I had flashed a rom and then wanted to go back to stock. I used someones method first (I dont remember whose it was) and I thought I was on stock but I got the android guy on his back and it wasnt working properly (I think the radio was the wrong one) so I then flashed the stock image from Google to 4.0.4 and I was able to get the 4.0.4 OTA no problem and I didnt see the android guy on his back at all during the process.

So more than likely there is something that isnt stock on your phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That is NOT an update. The guy wants to update his build, not flash a brand new one...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] galaxy_sexus:
same issue

first time poster here. stumbled upon this thread earlier this morning while searching for a solution to what appears to be the same problem that "dogunter" is experiencing. i have a stock 4.0.2 verizon galaxy nexus that i purchased through eBay a few months back. it was listed as brand new but when it arrived it had already been unlocked. from what ive gathered thus far, im assuming that the seller not only unlocked it, but also modified a system file(s), as i am getting the "android on its back with a red triangle" whenever i attempt to update to 4.0.4 via OTA push.

what steps should i take in order to correctly install 4.0.4? i see that "jonnyg1097" claims he "flashed the stock image from Google to 4.0.4 and I was able to get the 4.0.4 OTA no problem and I didnt see the android guy on his back at all during the process. " how would i go about doing this, and is this the best/only method to install the update? thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I would follow the instructions here, which takes you through the whole process set-by-step (make sure you do the optional steps in part D). That way you can be certain that you are fully stock. (Leave the bootloader unlocked.) Once you do that, then you can have a look here for how to use the OTA update file to update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] galaxy_sexus:
hmm

thanks for that, efrant. im currently in the process of getting it back to stock so i can receive the 4.0.4 OTA update. i am, however, running into a slight issue. in step D, number 2, you say to unlock the bootloader by typing "fastboot oem unlock". upon doing that, the cmd prompt gives me "...FAILED <remote: Already Unlocked>" i suspected it would say that as my phone was already unlocked by the seller. however, im not getting the prompt on my nexus about the device being wiped...do you know why that is and what i need to to in order to continue?

...by the way, a blue line of text appeared at the bottom of the phone's screen that reads "FASTBOOT STATUS - FAILALready Unlocked".

again, thanks in advance for all of the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You are good to proceed. You won't get the wipe prompt if your bootloader is already unlocked. No worries, just keep going with the steps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] galaxy_sexus:
thanks

thanks for the quick responses! you are quite helpful. everything appeared to install successfully, but upon the first reboot after finishing, im unable to get any service! it reads "Searching for service...", sits there for about 2 minutes, then tells me it cannot find service and thus cant activate. i skipped instead of restarting, and checked the settings to see if anything looked suspicious. im seeing that under "Baseband version" it says "Unknown". did i screw something up?!

sorry to keep troubling you with such noobish problems, but although im an experienced PC user im fairly new to smartphones and android. please have mercy on me. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The first thing i would do is reboot. If that doesn't work, then I would just flash the images one more time. (Just in case one of them messed up.) Make sure both radios flash successfully.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] galaxy_sexus:
got it

figured it out! when i did the cmda radio install i accidentally typed "fastboot flash radio" instead of "fastboot flash radio-cdma". doh! worked perfectly the second time around. thanks again, man. youve been a fantastic help.

I deleted all photos/files inside the folder "camera" within the "DCIM" folder, after that my camera won't work.

It goes blank and states "no active camera". I did reinstall the new CM.7.2, but didn't work.

Will someone share some insight or suggestions please?
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
Add the folder "camera" in the dcim and see if that fixes it
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Check your SD card
[EVO Shift 4G General] dumper1234:
check sd card for what? please be specific? Thanks!

I tried to flash a different Rom (Supreme sense from CM7.2) and still didn't work. I tried to add the camera folder, and it didn't work.

Help!
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
sounds like your camera is hosed. try formatting the sd card from within the ROM (backup first to PC)
[EVO Shift 4G General] dumper1234:
When I flashed the Supreme Rom, I did the partition. The actual error is "no access to camera". Any other ideas? please.

How to format SD card from WITHIN the rom? Do it at recovery? or Rom manager?
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
You format/partition from recovery. But like you said the error is no the sd sounds like a camera file was borked. Did you do a full wipe and reflash after the camera went wonky.

Try to manually format

System

Data

Cache

And wipe dalvik cache

To manually format is in mounts and storage and to wipe dalvik its in advanced parts of recovery
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
settings -> mounts/storage.. i think youre screwed though..
[EVO Shift 4G General] dumper1234:
After the camera broke, I installed the supreme, and went thru, all format listed, still no luck.

But why just deleting the photos mess up the camera?

Really appreciate you all... must be something to fix this
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
You don't remeber ever like deleting a System file? So far the camera broke on cm 7.2 and flashing Supreme didn't fix it. So try the sparksco rooted ROM on ROMmanager, I know it sounds weird but its worth a shot, newSENSE,MikShifted and SS all use a non shift camera which has different libs and such so maybe an all Stock ROM would piece in what your missing?
[EVO Shift 4G General] dumper1234:
will this work as the sparksco rom?

But after i took a first photo, the screen turned pink... a lot of lines..

not very stable. I am happy at least some improvements. should I flash back my cm7 or supreme rom?

You may be right, camera is dead again... :(

If I do the RUU and take it to the sprint store, what will happen next? The fix it for me with a cost? It seems to be a simple problem, can't believe there is no cure for it...
