just wondering if there is a way to open the camera in video record mode. i have a phone mounted to my archery bow so i can record my shot while hunting deer. as of now im running jellybean and i have to unlock the phone and then switch from picture mode to video and then push the record button. its too many steps when you have a deer walking toward you. it would be nice to just unlock right into the video recorder. thanks for any help or ideas.
If you use a custom launcher like Nova or Apex, you can create shortcuts to "Activities," which are basically specific components of an app (like camcorder). To take that a step further, if you also use a custom lockscreen like Widget Unlocker, you can add shortcuts to "Activities" right on your lockscreen.
Or disable lockscreen and have camcorder already open, so when you press the power button, it will go straight to camcorder.
Thanks a lot. I didn't know the launchers had those options.
Not a problem. You're welcome.

Well due to popular demand, I've decided to put this on this general forum. It's designed for the HTC touch but have heard widespread talk about it working on other devices. A lot of people really like it so I figured some people who don't go to the touch-specific forum would like to try it out. It does require a touch screen(that's kinda the idea) and although I designed it on WM6, it should work on WM5 if you have .NET CF 2.0 installed. Here are the instructions, just replace HTC Touch with touch-screen WM6 device
I've been working on picture viewer for the HTC Touch that has a little more of an intuitional feel(kinda like the iphone tho mine has some major differences) You can use the touch screen for everything including changing pictures, panning, and zooming in or out.
Here's how to control it:
To use gesture mode check "Gesture Mode" in options menu, to use double-click mode uncheck "Gesture Mode."
Gesture Mode:
Sweep your thumb to the left to move to the next picture
Sweep your thumb to the right to move to the previous picture
(for sweeping, start with your thumb/finger off the phone, otherwise it'll mistake it for the panning gesture)
Press on the picture and then move to pan
Double-press to change to full screen.
Double-Click Mode:
double press to switch between panning and switching pictures/zooming.
move picture with finger in panning mode
zoom by moving finger up/down in non-panning mode
switch pictures by moving finger left/right in non-panning mode

This update makes the program WAY better. I made it a lot more stable first of all. Also, and most importantly, I made it so you don't have to press on the menu to activate it and then press again to use it or press the center button to go back to the picture. Simply press on the picture and move it to move it, or press on the menu to use it, kinda the way it should be. Enjoy
cool!!!
this is really impressive! very easy to use... i like it alot! only con i got is that.. its hard to read the folders you want to use (where pictures are stored)

installed it to my htc 8525 with wm6. but it doesnot work. need help.
Hi guys,
is there a way to make an app or a mod, to get some tap commands on Androiddevices?
What I mean is something like the feature on the Nokia 6600 slide.
When you tap on the screen twice, you can see the clock or the lockscreen etc.
Like this: youtube.com/watch?v=MfvGSgr2h2g (sorry, not enough posts for outsidelinks)...but with lighter tapping, I don't want to break my screen xD
Shouldn't it be possible to recognize the tapping with the build in gyroscope or something like this?
I'm too lazy, to push the powerbutton everytime I want to see my lockscreen...and it looked really cool on my 6600 slide
Cheers
Hi,
Witch APEX Launcher you can set Tap command like :
Double-tap, slide down, slide up, pinch and long press.
Same with Nova Launcher ^
Apex is masterrace launcher
BOOM.
ANy app that can implement these options without having additional launcher running ? I like stock launcher, but i like those options too..
Thanks in advance
I asked this question a while back and had no responses.
Well now I am back with a video proving it is (somehow) possible!
Il talk you through it first...
note: when i talk about the lockscreen player, it is not the xperia lock screen player.
When using the phone in landscape and I start playing my music which has a "lockscreen player"
I lock the screen, wait a moment and then press the home button to wake the screen.
The lockscreen music player appears.
I press unlock on the player (still holding phone in landscape) and then the swipe to unlock bar appears.
But the time and the swipe buttons are rotated for a split second!
As you can see from the video it suddenly reverts back to portrait for the pattern unlock.
There must be somebody who knows something about this as i always use my phone in landscape and it is literally my only moan about the phone!
Have a look at the video, keeping in mind it is all in landscape after I start playing the music.

bump!

even if you dont know the answer but are interested in finding out, leave a post because its clearly possible as the video shows!
update
i found an app "ultimate rotation control"
but its a bit glitchy, as with all these types of lockscreen apps
it enables the lockscreen to rotate but its just another app to take up space
il carry on looking anyway
I'm so very interested in this too. I run a Galaxy tab 7 in both my cars as my car stereo. I've tried running CM9 and 10 which are both landscape capable lock screens but both OSs are so much buggier/quirkier than Overcome. I've actually come back to overcome and still annoyed at the portrait lockscreen. What's funny is that I saw the sceen flash landscape once so I'm also intrigued.
Like you, I'd rather not run another app. I love how FAST the overcome/gingerbread rom is over the ICS/JB roms. If you find a hack/tweak/adb alteration that solves the problem I'm SOOO for that.
Good Luck to both of us.

I can fix the rotation, but it will end up portrait only, not landscape.

I found this trick in one of the tips and tricks videos on youtube and have not seen it mentioned anywhere else so thought maybe many people didnt know about it, since tips and tricks are posted all the time here and there, and every time there are people who didnt know about it.
This one was one of my favorites of the many thare are..... anyways...
push the home button, or the power button when the screen is off WHILE holding the phone in portrait, then place a finger on the lock screen, NOW rotate the entire phone to landscape and walla, camera
Yep, saw that one on one of those annoying tips that pop up every ½ second when you first start up the phone. There is a bunch of stuff you can do if you go into the motion settings

Or I could just swipe the camera at the bottom on the lock screen...lol. I couldn't get this to work. Maybe I don't have it activated.

You dont have to activate it in motion settings. You cant turn it off. You can remove the camera shortcut on the lock screen and put something usefull there

You do and you can. There's an option for Quick Camera Start under Lock Screen Settings.
By the way, I find that the camera crashes if it's in video mode when I launch it via quick-start rotate gesture. But if it's in still-photo mode, or if I launch it by swiping the lock-screen camera icon instead of by the rotate gesture, then it starts normally.

Doesn't crash for me when I use the gesture when the camera is in video mode. I love the gesture and removed the camera quick launch icon.
is it possible to put flashlight on lockscreen instead of camera.. can not see options for this.
thanks
I keep that button for camera and enable this:

Turn on the torch using the long hold volume up while screen is off.

not really what im looking for, double tap on power button opens camera so dont need it on my lockscreen .i just want to put flashlight icon on lockscreen.
thank you , any one know if this is possible without dl another app?
It is possible with the app BxActions. You can choose to double click Bixby button to turn on flashlight on lock screen. I use it
I think you can only put an app shortcut there, and the built-in flashlight isn't an app, it's part of the OS. If you installed a flashlight app from the Play store, you could probably put it on the lock screen.

can you pull the notification down on the lock screen ?? if so, hit the toggle there.
This is trivial to do with root and xposed, does that work for you?
It can now be done with Samsung's Good Lock 2018 app, in the LockStar section of it. You can add up to 6 shortcuts, and flashlight is among the available ones.
