Hi,
I am on eXistenz ultra ROM, I was wondering if there is anyway to activate the flashlight with a physical button from lock screen ?
On my S4 I can just press home button to do so but ZL don't have home button so is it possible to do with long press power button or volume or camera button?
Thanks

Yes, you can do so,you'll need :
1)Root
2) Xposed framework
3) Gravity box
When you'll have all of the above :
*open up gravity box app(after activating it from the xposed modules screen and a reboot )
*hardware key actions
*scroll down
*lockscreen torch
You can enable torch in either of the two options given there(on home button long press(only when display is on),or volume down button long press(available when display is off) )
If you feel that I've helped you in anyway, please hit the thank button

Thanks for your reply, I already have this but in Gravity box there is no option for flashlight neither in lockscreen option nor in hardware key action.
Can you post a screenshot where you see it ?

that 's an nice option to have, I didn't know it existed it's working great, thanks a lot.
Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.

Hi
I saw this method on how to enable soft-keys mod .
Here we go.
navigate to system/build.prop
go to the bottom of the page ( document )
add this line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
save
reboot
check
Peace
That's great, now, how can I disable the samsung buttons? Not the home one, but the menu and back one...

edit:
one drawback is that the touch vibration and sound is not getting turned off for those buttons...

Oh man
you are lucky
I found a method to do it
navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
put a hash tag in front of the lines
key 139 menu
key 158 back
so they will look like
#key 139 menu
#key 158 back
save and reboot
Cheers
Thanks man worked great.

Hey guys. Is there any fix or mod for making the home button on your s3 wake the device without closing the app that was open before the screen turned off. I am really used to turning on my screen from the home button (used to work on ICS) and now (JB) everytime the screen turns off and i try to wake it with the home button, I go back to the homescreen.
Please help !! thanks
UPDATE:
So the 2 solutions that worked for me either to have s-voice enabled or #&[email protected] s-voice and install jkay framework which has a built in fix

I notice that this behavior is gone on Sotmax V8 rom.

or just go to Svoice setting and enable "launch Svoice by double pressing home button"
on 4.1.2 it do the right way.. you press homescreen,unlock and you are in the open app..

svoice introduces a bit of lag using the home button. In ICS there was a fix for that

I tried editing the Generic keyboard layout with ES note editor.
Added WAKE on key 172.
Seems to work but after a restart my menu and back keys don't work.
I just added WAKE didn't touch anything else.
Seems I'll need the Original file.
EDIT:
Fixed permissions and works great.
Thanks.

i did something little different. even after adding wake at key 172 and fixing permissions it takes me to the home screen rather than waking up the device only. i added this :
key 172 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
after doing this, re started my phone. works like a charm! :angel:

Is there any app that can take screenshot using for example a small button overlay on screen?
My phone is unrooted for some apps to work.
I searched and the only way is to connect to computer via USB.
I wonder if I can flash some package via recovery to enable me to take screenshot for unrooted phones.
Thanks a lot!
This app may help you.

There are a few custom ROMs that you can set a a Nav bar button long press to take screen shots. For example, I have my recent apps button set to take screen shots on long press.

Not that I know of especially without taking code and merging/compiling code which is what people that ROMs do. It would be easier to flash aokp ROM or team eos (my daily driver) which you can do this. You can customize the colors too and also assign the nav buttons to launch apps.

There should be some buttons combination, like power button + home button for android 4.3 (stock one), and the older combination was power button + vol.down.
I've checked on CM-REMIX (android 4.4.2) and the 2nd combination of buttons works.
There's always a button combination for a screen shot (since android 4.0+ I think).

As you didn't mention what ROM you are running I assume you are running the stock firmware, Samsung's TouchWiz video player got a built-in button to take video shots.

The method mentioned above should work, me personally I use a module for Xposed Installer called Xposed Gesture Navigation and from the settings choose the gestures you want, and their action.
If you have any question concerning Xposed Installer or Xposed Gesture Navigation let me know

On Pie, there's a screenshot option in the shutdown menu (= one button only)
i think in the app Gesture Control (play store) you can set gustom gestures like 3 finger swipe to screenshot
assistant shorcuts, you can config a long press on the home button and take the screenshot
You only need upgrade to android pie
