[XDA Assist] SYOB SYOT:
Hay guys,

i could not find forum for lg joy, so, i postED here.

I have a question about camera.

Lg joy has option in settings to start camera app, when device is locked, and when screen is ofF by long pressing volume down button.

This turns oN the screen and starts the camera.

What i want to do is to change default camera app to non stock, so, that when i long press volume down when my device is locked, that other camera app start, witch is not the stock one.

So, do you know how to do this?

I already tried going in settings►applications►all►camera and clearing preferences, but that button is disabled, saying that there is no preferences.

So, anything else i can try?

I just want to be able to start camera on a wery fast way, and without display going on.

Since, i kind of love spying, i have an app, wich can run in background, and i can take pictures without turning on my screen, and without unlocking it.

The only time when i need to unlock the phone is when i am starting this app.

But since, i kind of like spying, and usually, want to be able to take picture in a few seconds, after i notice something interesthing, i sometimes do not have time to turn on the screen and to launch the app.

And stock camera is not good because it requires screen to be on, and i want to be undetected.

So i need a way to launch camera app, but in the background, within 5 seconds.

That is why i want to change default camera witch is started by long pressing volume down button.

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist :)

Basically if you have two camera apps, one of it should be declared the main one to use. Try to access for example a social app like Facebook, WP or Telegram, and try to use the camera. For sure it will be prompted to you which camera app to use, and there you will choose your desired one.

For any other questions you can always ask here ---> Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good luck!

I always hear how the app can make a huge difference to a camera's quality, and that the google camera isn't the best (I might be wrong). Does anyone know of a better alternative? Thanks :laugh:
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbw716:
You might consider trying the modified CameraNext app. http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/th...eranextmod-t3086513/post60202401#post60202401

I quite like the stock OxygenOS camera app though. Good luck!

Hey, do you know if this CameraNext app has the "beauty mode" filter on for OPT ? It works on my OPO, just need to confirm for OPT.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbw716:
It doesn't look like it has a beauty filter, however, in the settings it does have a skintone enhancement switch.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neatojones:
I was using CameraNext which a lot of users on XDA seem to recommend. But, I noticed that the sharpness on the photos was turned up too high. This is good at times, but I found that my photos came out looking a bit grainy for my liking. I then discovered a modification of that called Snapdragon Camera which I have been using and like the best so far. It also has an option to output to a RAW format though I haven't tested it yet.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
I used Snapdragon Camera v2 on the OnePlus One but it doesn't work on the OnePlus 2.

It is odd that it isn't working for you. It works fine for me. I have version 0.6.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
The one I tried was v2 from here, which installs but doesn't work.

The one you've just linked to is OK on the OnePlus 2/Oxygen OS 2.1.1 but not everything works and, once it's FC'd once, data for the app needs clearing to get it to work again.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neatojones:
Interesting, I am on the same ROM and not had any FC yet. But, as I mentioned I haven't exhaustively tested it. On the basic settings I prefer the output over stock camera and cameranext and haven't had any crashes yet.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Melab:
Things have become more and more unclear for me regarding the nature of the boot process of many smartphones. Sometimes people misinterpret what I'm asking. Sometimes people only have vague knowledge of a particular smartphone's hardware-based restrictions or if it has any to begin with. In light of this, I will try to phrase this post as clearly as I can.

I remember reading that the bootloader from the Nexus 4 was able to work on the LG Optimus G, allowing arbitrary kernels to be loaded. I cannot remember if it was in an article by someone reporting on the hack or in a post by the developer of the hack. It was never specified if it was the first-stage bootloader. Assuming that it was the first-stage bootloader, then this would lead me to believe that the boot ROM, the immutable mask ROM that is part of most processors used in smartphones, on the LG Optimus G will load arbitrary (i.e., unsigned or signed with different private key) code. In other words, it leads me to believe that I can modify the LG Optimus G's official bootloader and it would not be rejected (at least by the processor).

Is this the case with the LG G4? Is the first-stage bootloader verified by the phone's processor on startup? Does anyone know the configuration of the fuses on the processor that it uses (assuming it has any)?

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liddokun10:
Hello Master Melab.

I myself have almost zero Android dev knowledge but digging through this stuff as well. I learned some from http://newandroidbook.com/Articles/aboot.html

The boot process is like this: -> BootROM+SBL+radios->android bootloader -> kernel image + zRam (something like initramfs) -> init (services, shell, that zygote crap, dalvik/art vm, etc)

Reason I am trying to pick it up is learn more in the hopes that someway we can unlock the bootloader of the LG G4 whatever version.

Am running on an LG G4 H815 TWN (Taiwan carrier-free) and LG does not want to generate unlock.bin for me.

I found the root method via patching and flashing back modified bootimage, dumped in busybox started.

You are into crypto from your sig?

Below is the dump (hex) from the aboot of my H815 TWN - v10e Lollipop.

I just see random hex that is so making me rage... yep numbers make me angry :P

See if you can find any patterns/logic to this madness - so much fluff(guessing part of it is the signed stuff) in the beginning and right at the end, the ARM eaXXX instructions start (real beginning of the boot binary).
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usalabs:
I've looked everywhere and all over the place and even asked a few people on just about 10 forums, and nobody, not even me can find this factory stock firmware (KOT49I.LS660ZV4) I tried various so called 'custom' LS660 roms using TWRP, and they turned out to completely change the device IMEI and ESN, and made it so that PRL updates and service connections caused an authentication error and locked the SIM card, and the only course was to throw the phone in the closet (after talking to Virgin mobile about it, by saying one of my relatives got hold of the phone and did something to it that I didn't know about), and all they said was they can only do something if I reported it stolen and they would block the phone completely.

It seems that carriers do not and will NOT release their firmware because of supposed "security risks", so now I'm letting people know if you root your phone, even if any OTA updates are for security patches for Android vulnerabilities, the only conclusion is just allow your phone to be exploited, which is one of the benefits of rooting.

I made that mistake and have now thrown my LG Tribute in the closet until (maybe in another 15-20 years) an original, off the production line factory firmware is made available on the net, which, by that time, the phone would be obsolete.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] reinier1980:
Hi all,

My p3300 (dutch original t-mobile rom) wont connect anymore with any pc.

I`ve seen lots of threads about this and I still didnt find a answer that works.

* The phone does charge with the USB cable

* I`ve tried turnig off firewalls

* Cannot browse on the phone anymore

* Did install active sync again (4.1 and higher)

* Did severall soft resets

I cannot make a hard reset because I would lose my data and I don`t have a backup.

Is there a way to get certificates or someting to make it work again?

Thnx,
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Furbious:
Does the hardware see anything at all? Does it try to initialise but then fail?

I'd copy my data onto SD card and then hard reset (you wont lose data on the SD card, only in main memory) - if it wont even browse over gprs or whatever, it sounds like the OS isn't working anymore

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incarceration:
I replaced the battery with an OEM HTC battery from eBay and the battery life seems to be the same or worse.

Has anyone else done this? Everything works on it, and nothing broke during the process, it actually went quite well. But my battery just doesn't seem to last much longer than what it was like before i replaced it.

The seller even sent me another one for free because i mentioned the same thing and i replaced it again with that, and same result.

Is there any type of post-replacement calibration or reset?

thanks

I am currently on KK Revolution 9.1 and trying to upgrade the firmware to the new 4.28.502.1 so I can get LP and when I get into the ADB and try to flash it, it states "Remote: Not allowed" . The phone is s-off and unlocked. Do I need to relock it and unlock it again?? Ideas?? Starting to lose support for some of the items on KK.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
AT&T devices are totally compatible with WWE/International firmware, and S-Off allows you to install that.

You are on AT&T, correct? Because 4.28.502.1 is from that carrier. If not, let me/us know and don't follow these instructions.

This is the easiest way, and you don't need a PC to do it.

Download this firmware.

Rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip (that's a zero, not the letter) using a file explorer and place it onto the root of your extSD (not in a folder).

Boot into bootloader by powering off your phone, then turning it on by holding down both the power button and vol down.

Select hboot if it doesn't automatically (vol buttons to navigate~power button to select) and follow the prompts (vol up to flash~power to reboot).

That should be it. Delete the renamed zip from your extSD, otherwise every time you boot to hboot it'll try to update again.

Then go back to bootloader and confirm that it says 4.16.401.10 next to OS.

Congratulations! You are now on Lollipop firmware and can flash the newest ROMs.

You don't need to relock with s-off. Something else is going on. Post your getvar data (be sure to delete IMEI and serial number as these are personal info).

It did it but now there is red lettering one the screen. How do I get that taken off and please point me to the directions for wiping the old ROM and installing the new. I had it on my screen in the form yesterday and now I can't find it again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suzyq42:
Here is the bigger issue, for some reason, the phone can't get past the opening screen. The only way I have found to get past this is to power drain the phone. Once done, you can boot into recovery. Then, I can start again. Must be some sort of circuity blocking this.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
As [MENTION=660462]redpoint73[/MENTION] said earlier, post your getvar. Hook up to your PC, get into ADB/fastboot and enter the command fastboot getvar all.

I was helping someone else with AT&T last night on the VenomROMs website, and mistakenly thought you were superCID when it was him. That won't be a problem though. It will abort with a CID mismatch.

The reason I suggested WWE firmware is that Marshmallow is coming out soon and WWE will get it way before AT&T updates.

If you want to stay on AT&T firmware, you could run the official RUU from HTC's US website.

Post your getvar, and we can go from there.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper4713:
OK here should be the final solution, when you are in fastboot/hboot screen you must enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" then once you see the black screen with HTC logo then you may flash the firmware, you can not flash firmwares on PC while fastboot is actively running, but of course run the firmware flash command TWICE! first flash it will fail because HBOOT gets updated by it self, then on second flash the rest of the firmware files get updated.

If you have S-OFF then you never have to lock your bootloader again.

Hey guys I was just wondering what directory and what file one needs to be edited in order to mute the phone manually on a note 5. I would like to know how you can tell if a phone is muted by looking at the files within a directory e.g. System > etc > firmware or maybe build.prop show something I cannot see, maybe its somewhere completely different.

So I tried all this. This finally worked.

What I did was from power off, help up volume, home button and power button at the same time. Then I pressed wipe cashe and then factory reset and went down to yes. Then I turned the phone off even after it failed and got the continuos error. Then I turned the phone off. Then I pulled the battery and waited approximentally 1 minute. Then I put the battery back in and put the back cover on it. After that, I help the up volume and power button only (NOT THE HOME BUTTON THIS TIME!). Then I waited approximentally 3 minutes for the logo to just flash samsung over and over again and then BAM!!! It worked.

Hello,

I know dual boot and multirom! And I'm struggling a lot with multirom, can't get it to work... I can't find the "right" kernel, some files in the thread are dead and so on.. The thread seems kind of dead to me. I was trying for days now.

So is there somebody out there, who can provide us with working links / files and an short working instruction how we can boot different roms?

My device is D802. I don't care if my priamry ROM will be a Kitkat Stock or Resurrection Rom...

Also found this, but as too often, no summary, understable instructions - so for only a little circle of devs themselves in the end. That's kind of bitter.

It says e.g. you have fo flash a modem and there's a link with many different modems. So if you are not really deep in it, it is hardly usable. Also it semms to me that you have to read the whole thing to have a clue, the fiest post isn't updated (probably -on first glance)

Too bad. But I'm sticking on this. I want the multi/dual boot.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhill110:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jayashaya:
Are there any apps that need to be kept at the original DPI for them to look correct?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
AFAIK, it's personal preference as to appearance. But there have been reports that Bluetooth pairing that requires a pin code may not pop-up if dpi isn't set properly. 640 is stock but some have reported that 620 is the best for sacs ports. Certain buttons may appear odd or not apportioned correctly with small dpi.

You can set individual per app dpi with Xposed module "App Settings". For older users' eyes, 640 or 620 dpi may be sufficient for all apps.
